Meet Rocco!



Rocco - Looks so innocent :)

 Blog readers... Meet Rocco! The newest addition to 1128 :)

Michelle and I jokingly say if only everyone could see and hear what the dog does everyone would get much laughter... It's a shock he still accepts us as his owners! He probably thinks we're crazy!

Rocco is a very kind hearted dog :) He follows Michelle and I everywhere, and sometimes feels the need to watch our every move. His favorite thing to do is fetch. He really likes the tennis ball that Aunt Heather gave him and anything that has a squeaker. Those don't last very long... apparently getting the squeaker out is like finding a toy in your cereal box. He enjoys drinking out of toilets, trying to lay on the couch and giving Michelle and I sad eyes until we finally break down and give him a piece of what we're eating.

Having a dog is definitely not what we expected it to be... brace yourselves, the stories are good...

The first night Rocco was home we thought he pooped on my pillow... (ew!)
I was getting ready for bed and Michelle came running in and said "Rocco did something gross on your pillow!" so, naturally, I freaked out and ran over towards it but not too close. Whatever it was looked mighty disgusting. A few minutes later I walked up to my pillow as Michelle stood about 10 feet or so away and I picked it up with my bare hands. Michelle’s face = priceless. Happens to be that what we thought was crap on my pillow was only a tan colored Scooby Doo dog treat :)  After that, we knew having Rocco in our lives was going to be a good experience.

Walking Rocco on a leash is kind of hard… We’re gradually getting better… One of the first days we had him I was walking him down the sidewalk and he was ready to go back inside. It had been raining earlier that day and our front porch was slightly damp. Taking a leap from the sidewalk to the porch was not a good idea. The minute my foot hit the ground, I slipped and fell right on all fours. Rocco looked at me with his head turned as the lady across the street kept asking if I was okay. I was so wrapped up in laughter I couldn’t respond to her concern. That was the first of many falls while walking Rocco around. But like I said, he’s getting better :)

Big  thanks those who answer all the silly dog questions! Greatly appreciated!!!

Lot's more stories to come :)

boo?

The end of the semester is approaching us quickly!
Lots to do, and so little time to do it... At least in Michelles case. Me, not so much.
However, amidst all the chaos we still find the time to enjoy living in 1128!!

First I'll start off telling why the title of our latest blog is "boo?"
I am a scardy cat. I jump when a dog barks, someone says boo and I either throw a punch or run in the opposite direction.
Michelle enjoy the reaction I give when she scares me. (my tolwel rod is bent in half because scaring me in the bathroom is just SO funny! haha)
For a while she was does it daily... but not anymore since I got back at her :)
Let's just say that people popping in windows wearing dark clothes and only showing their eyes is a great way to get back at someone :) It was well worth the painful laughter! :) I do it out of love!!!

The Michelle and Courtney quote of the week:
Aaron "I do what people tell me"
Courtney "so if Michelle told you to jump of a bridge you'd do it?"
Aaron "I'll push her off the bridge"
Michell "Just don't push me off the bridge into the Ohio River."
Courtney "There's a bridge that goes over the Ohio?"

Der der derrrr.....

Hope ya'll have a great day :) 

WOOOOOO WOOOOOOO!!!

woo woo? 

Here is your explanation: of course we were playing words with friends... Michelle needed more people to play, so I was kindly sharing my siblings user names with her. As I was telling her about my sisters she went woooo woooo and made a choo choo train sound. Much laughter occurred every time she went "woo woo." Not just laughter, painful laughter. That same night she her the train go "woo woo" and decided she needed to make the noise as well :)  

Sorry for the delay in posts... Life has had a good grip on us. As always, there is still plenty of laughter and good stories to share. 

Last week Michelle and I went to the tattoo place. I got my tattoo touched up and Michelle got a new tattoo that says "hope" on the inside of her ankle. Why? Because "Without hope, I wouldn't be where I am" <--- direct quote. Needless to say, Angry Birds and Words With Friends was not a good enough distraction from the needles going into my foot and her ankle!

A few days later we went to our favorite restaurant Los Bravos. ( or Lo Bro... we had to shorten it :) )

Unfortunately it made me feel very ill... so to cure that Michelle and I drove all around the North / East side of Evansville. We were picking up random internet to play WWF! We actually sat at a gas station for about 15 minutes to play. It was quite the drive. It ended with Michelle saying "I want doughnuts" and me grabbing a big container from the back of my car that had dunken doughnuts in it. Thats what I call fate. 

Here is your conversation of the week:

Typing on Facebook...

Michelle: are you on your way home right now?

Courtney:  um... your talking to me on Facebook chat silly!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!

Our Secret Friendship Tattoo...

First, you need to start by watching the first 45 seconds of this This Video :)
Now that you've watched Harriet the Barefoot Spy, you might know where this is going...

Tonight Michelle and I sat on the couch for an hour and a half to play Words With Friends. We than decided to go pick up my prescription and stop by the tattoo place to see how much a touch up on my tattoo will be... After an exciting ride back she than let me draw a potential tattoo on her foot.

Thats when Harriet the Spy popped into my head! I loved this movie when I was a kid! And I remember the "Secret friendship tattoo" part of the movie. So of course, Michelle and I needed to do it.

I found a sharpie, drew a smiley face on my foot and tada! We're friends! and we have secret friendship tattoos!!!

Love,
Michelle and Courtney.

sigh-ra-coys or Syracuse?

I had a brain fail while filling out my March Madness bracket. Apparently I don't know how to pronounce Syracuse... Glad I could bring some laughter to people’s lives.

It has been a long time since we've blogged... Why? Because Michelle and I were on spring break. The hilariously good stuff only happens when two of us are together...

So here are some quotes I think you might enjoy...

DVR FAIL:

Michelle "Tonight’s the night!!" (To watch the Bachelor)

Michelle "And we can fast forward through all those commercials tonight"

Courtney " No we can't..."

Michelle "well crap."

SEEDS?:

Michelle "look at these seed numbers!"

Courtney "seeds?"

Michelle "Yeah, like the things you plant in the ground. ya know. You plant the seeds and whichever one comes up wins the bracket"

Courtney "I give up. I am way too confused."

BACHELOR FAIL:

Courtney "I want a candy bar! Lets pause it and go to CVS"

Michelle "Okay, let’s go!"

* Travel to CVS... Pick out candy bar... @ register

Michelle "WHAT?! Newly engaged Emily fakes husband’s death?!"

Courtney "Well guess we don't need to watch it anymore! Now we know what happens!!"

BLONDIE:

Michelle "it's oblique"

Courtney "I have no idea what that means, I have blonde hair..."

WATER BOIL FAIL!!!:

Courtney "Yes, you can take a shower, just don't drink the water"

Michelle "That’s going to be so hard for me!! I drink shower water. I get thirsty when I'm in there"

Courtney "hahaha, gross!!! Warm shower water?!"

Michelle "I'm nervous to shower, I'm going to shower with a bad on my head"

Courtney "That’s going to be a great one to share with the police!! "I don't know how she died officer; she went in the shower and put a bag on her head because she was afraid to get sick from the boil advisory... I would have called sooner, but I needed her police scanner so I could to everything that was going on!!""

LOST WATCH:

Michelle "I can't find my watch anywhere!"

Courtney "Why don't you call it?..... wait... just kidding."

We hope you enjoyed!!!

There's a Movie Called Pocahontas?

The title is a quote from an anonymous person who said "Tehres a movie called Pocohontas?" while I was reading the blog to her. hahaha

Today stated off as a sweat pant kind of day. Haha, which turned into a "Let’s Eat Los Bravos" and "Let's Fly a Kite" kind of day.  Somehow, my AMAZING, Los Bravos, Taquito Salad (that Michelle bought) ended up on my sweats and the couch... BUT, it was still really tasty.

We've had our kite for about 3 weeks now. It’s a Toy Story kite (Michelle has not seen TS3!!!!). We decided we were going to try to fly it again today (which she also has not done). However, today was a bit windier than the last. We should have sung Pocahontas, than maybe we could have been "one with the wind” or saw “the colors of the wind.” The "kite flying" ended up with Michelle running up and down the street, and somehow the string broke and wrapped itself around my shoe... Still not sure how that happened. We gave up after that.

Tonight Michelle and I have a meeting where we are supposed to be bringing something to eat. I (the irresponsible/ last minute one) didn't think about this until 2 PM this afternoon. Therefore, I decided I was going to make a dip. I had a package of cream cheese, shredded cheese, and a can of Chili Beans. Needless to say, the meeting tonight might be a little musical, if everyone enjoys my "Beany Love Dup."

We are anticipating the new episode of Teen Mom 2!!! That we recorded (hopefully) on our DVR!!! This is causing us to pay less on our bill! Really? I’m still confused…

Well, have a great night! And enjoy the nice weather :)

For you grammar crazies out there, I hope this post was better than the last few :)

OH! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN BEIBER!!!

Unibrows and Leaky Showers...

How do the two relate?
Here's how...
Today was spent as usual for those who live in 1128... School, Work, Bible Study, etc. And of course it would not be a normal day if it didn't end with some fantastic events...
So here goes...
Michelle arrived home later the evening after class. I watched American Idol while she enjoyed Teen Mom 2 on her computer. We text one another, while sitting on the couch, during our shows. hahaha
After that I decided we needed to go to CVS to get some mascara. :) While on our way home, actually we were not even out of the parking lot yet, we were talking about the mascara we just bought, and I was trying to convince her to put it on. Somewhere in tehre something REALLY funny was said and Michelle talked like an old woman / little kid / puppy. (thats the best way to describe it) This event resulted in a 5 minute drive home, which really should have been 3 minutes. RIDICULOUS. But don't worry (shout out to those who have seen "The Other Guys") there was a point where we "AMERICAAAAAAAAA'd" it.

When we got back to the apartment, I gave Michelle a unibrow with the mascara while we were sitting in the car...

Than she bunny hopped to the apartment.

This resulted in us standing outside the apartment for about 5 minutes laughing uncontrollably, and her continuing to jump around. We were laughing so hard we could not get the door unlocked.

We finally made it inside and our laughter came to a halt.

THAN... as Michelle is in the shower, she screams my name, so naturally I went running.
I cracked the door open and I got sprayed with water...
The shower head was like a sprinkler! Shooting water everywhere!!! So, naturally, I came to the rescue and nailed a towel to the walls to prevent the bubbling paint from spreading :)

The night ended with, yet another, request to maintenance!!!

Have a nice day everybody!!!
