I really dropped the ball on this blog

Man I have really dropped the ball on this blog.  It may be that in the last month and a half, I attended my brother in laws law school graduation and moved across the country.  It may be that my sis was out of the country for two weeks. But I think mostly it is because I am kind of lazy.  But now there is an Ed Sheeran contest that I must complete a task for, and for this I return.  First of all, for anyone stumbling across this blog.  The album came out on my birthday and despite every attempt Ed threw at us to listen to the songs before the release, I resisted and on my birthday there was a shiny new Ed album as my gift.  And it is amazing.  Personally, I am not a fan of Sing (collective gasp) but the rest of the album is fantastic.  It is everything that would be expected of a follow up album and more.  I'm not going to lie, I have listened to Afire Love about 30 times and cry every single time.  It's outrageous.  Seriously.  


Oh, and yes, my sister is also doing this contest.  'Cause we are great like that.

Driving to work

Today I got a call from B.  She wanted to know if my husband, R, was going to crash at her place tomorrow night. When I said no, she told me to relay a message. " I see how you visit every other member of this family before you move but not me.  Your a d-bag."  And then she started laughing hysterically, "I'm just kidding, but really, tell him I said that."  About 15 minutes later she pulls up to the parking lot at her work, and starts complaining.  " I was just about to pull into a spot but there is a freakin' scooter parked there."  I told her she should park behind it in the spot.  And of course that downward spiraled into this.

B:  Haha, thats what he gets for driving a scooter, you can't leave until I do.
T (thats me):  You should just go pick it up and move it.  That would be the greatest Melissa    McCarthy move ever!
B:  Like just put it in the grass. I found a spot.  I hope these people don't want to get in or out of their cars. I'm about to just crawl out of the trunk.  OH MY GOD!!!!
T:  What is happening!?!?!
B:  There is a squirrel and it doesn't have a tail.  Do you think it can still climb trees?
T: I'm sure its fine, it was probably born that way, or it had to have tail removal surgery and the tiny squirrel surgeon cauterized it real nicely.
B:  Yeah, its playing and being nice, and GETTING CLOSER.  Oh My God, do you want to be my friend?  Do you want to come home with me?
T: ( Hysterical laughter.)  You can't take a squirrel in the car with you, ' B, why do you have all those scratches across your face?'   ' Oh, thats just from my tail-less car squirrel, don't worry about it.'
B:  Yeah, okay.  I have to go to work now.

I mean really.  These things happen.  

The bestest sister ever

 My Sister in Law just gets me.  She is awesome in pretty much all the ways.  We have known each other for 14 years when we met in high school.  And we like to say I only married her brother so that I could be with her forever.  While I am in love with one brother, the other one is pretty awesome too,  so its like I married into some weird communal best friend thing. But its cool.  In fact I recommend it.  Girls, find a best friend and marry her brother.  That way when she gets tired of you, she can't kick you to the curb cause your family, and you've trapped her now.  Oh thats one thing you will learn about us through this blog.  Our pass times include, being as creepy as possible, using as much sarcasm as possible, and drinking as much coffee as possible. We are extreme.... Extremely awesome. (High Five)
