One Size Fits Two

I believe everyone at some point in their lives have wondered, "can two people fit in that one pair of pants?"

Well, This question we asked ourselves became reality. As I stuck two legs in one leg in a pair of shorts I said "michelle, We have to try this!" A couple minutes later, we were both on the floor with a very stretched out pair of shorts. No, we did not succeed.

It's been a long three weeks of school, but as always there is plenty of laughter coming from 1128 getting us through all the chaos of school and life.

So, the first round of laughter came from a can of black olives... Amongst all the art projects I decided I needed something to snack on. Needless to say, the can opener didn't do its job very well. By trying to fix the mess it created I managed to slice my finger open and spend more than an hour at urgent care getting stitches... The dog did not give me the comfort I was looking for amongst the blood covered paper towels. and Michelle, well Michelle kept asking me "are you ignorant?" since than, she's been told to synonym the word. :) I think an electrical can opener is a soon to be must have.

Rocco brings plenty of laughter to our live as well. He seems to be just so cute that we can't yell at him when he eats the blinds, bowls, curtains, socks, etc. He's a good friend to have around amongst all the chaos. He keeps things lively around here.

Michelle had a sick car. She told me this after we made a foolish trip to Autozone to get me a windshield wiper. (don't try to remove a frisbee from your windshield with your wipers) Her check engine light was on for quite a while. While having conversation with a neighbor, she decided that the hood of her car would be the best place to relax. In the midst of her sitting a huge popping sound came from the hood. The next day she informed us her check engine light was off. Need your car fixed? We know how to do it!!! hahaha... kidding...

Well, It's been nice catching up and updating the blog...

I'm going to end with this... "If God pulled us over right now He'd be like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING???"

Looking forward to bringing you more laughter :)

Michelle & Courtney

Special Olympics!!!

 

SO Much happened in such a great weekend!!! so instead of reading, you get to see it like a picture book!

The morning started off with us waking up at 5 and driving to Terre Haute. Michelle and I followed the buses on 41 until we temporarily (and by that I mean for an hour) lost the buses while we stopped at the bank!
Luckily we were able to catch up. We were sitting on pins and needles the whole time, afraid we might screw up our first task! and that was GETTING there!

Some were more excited than others to be riding on the bus bright and early! Michelle and I definitely had to rock out to ke$ha to stay awake on that early ride!












The pool the athletes got to swim in was cold! While I was timing they kept telling me it was freezing and my response always was "they make it that way so you will swim faster!!! :) "

When they were not swimming they were sitting, and playing DS's, singing to Lemonade mouth, eating junk food, wondering around (when we were not looking), taking long bathroom breaks, stretching, getting medals, sleeping, looking like they were going to cry (Michelle), coloring, and so much more!

Olympic Town!!!

Stretching :)

Lemonade Mouth Jam Session!

There was some free time for Olympic Town, Napping, and Medals!!!

and THIS is what some had to say about swimming!!! 

Cole taught me how to do the wave and the robot, while Ronnie danced with Amber!

We just had a little bit of SOVC spirit!!!

    

The athletes needed some rest....

But the coaches might have needed more :)

 

 This is how I felt a few times.... :) And this is how I felt about THAT girl :)

I can't even begin to explain what a FANTASTIC job these two did and what great people they are! If they were not busy taking care of our athletes they were busy helping someone else out! They really are a great example for those around and care so much about the well being of the swimmers!!!

So the best way to sum the weekend up would be with these two pictures...

ny = my :)
Wouldn't be a true text if it was spelled right!

So between all the chaos, exhaustion, heat, girls with very loud voices, being lost, people waking you up by doing flips in their beds (Michelle), not being able to get heat sheets, trying to find the right place to put your swimmer, preventing sugar from going in drinks, millions of sub sandwiches, broken cars, locked in room keys... All that was made up for when we got to see how happy those athletes were when they got their medals and ribbons! 

Love, Courtney and Michelle :)

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!!!
