IQ Test
There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?

He opens his mouth and says. "I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses"
If you got this wrong ... please turn off your computer and call it a day.
I've got mine shutting down right now.

Hats off to a Great Weekend ...
Bryan and I had a wonderful weekend! We started it with new furniture for our guest bedroom! It is a wedding present from my parents! Thanks Mom and Dad ... Now, people have a place to sleep when they come over! And just in time ... Ryan and Marissa showed up about 30 minutes after we had it all settled!
Bryan cooked steaks, while I cooked the fixings! We decided that we better cook a good supper because my parents were leaving for Honduras the following morning! For the next two weeks, they would be eating "mystery meat" ... not necessary meat, but who knows! Most of the time, people get sick from the water down there because they are not used to it ... Please Pray for this bunch as they are away!
The following morning, Susan decided that she would go pick her parents up at their house, then take them to the airport! Also, her husband would be coming along for the ride. Here's the catch: My parent's flight was at 6 AM ... meaning they needed to be there around 5 ... that has us leaving their house at 4:30 ... my car needs to be there around 4:15 to load up the suitcases ... which has us leaving at our house by 3:45!! My internal alarm clock went off at 3:15 and would not go back to sleep because I was afraid I would be late! We got home around 6, and got a couple of hours of sleep! My parents have done so many crazy things like that for me before ... so I was more than happy to do it!
The rest of the afternoon, I chilled. I don't remember the last time I did that ... it was nice! We went to eat Bonsai Garden for supper (Ryan/Marissa had never had japanese food like that before) ... as always, it was delicious! Afterwards, we rented Martian Child! I recommend this movie to all ages! I can't recall a single cuss word! The story line is so wonderful!
Sunday chuch ... amazing as always! Lunch w/ friends. Then onto a softball scrimmage ... Ryan and Marissa stayed, so that Ryan could play also! We played out at lakeview! The wind was crazy ... but that didn't stop them from hitting! They probably hit 20 homeruns altogether! I always go get the balls ... but man was I tired after the game was over!! Violet was with me ... so she ran a whole lot! Also, Elizabeth brought Peaches and Romo ... they joined us in finding homerun softballs! We all went to Sonic afterwards for drinks, ice cream, burgers, etc. Ryan and Marissa headed home after this (come back and see us soon guys).
Hastings has an awesome offer ... if you bring your movie back the following night, you get a $2.00 credit towards your next rental (they used to be a $1, which was still cool)! So Bryan and I took Martian Child back, and decided to get Gone, Baby, Gone. We stopped by Wal-Mart ... to buy groceries and a certain movie about a child thinking he is from Mars. This is how much I loved the movie ... return a rental, then go buy it! Gone, Baby, Gone was not as good ... Bryan liked it, but it was too sad ... and I also heard the "f-word" entirely too many times! I am going to return it after work for our $2 credit (that's the best part about the movie)!
Our weekend ended with some rain ... oh one of the sweetest sounds!

Happy Birthday, Dorothy!
Who in Texas DOESN'T Love the Rodeo?
Clint and Bryan, waiting on the rodeo to start.
Darren decided he was too good for the picture!
Our 1st Rodeo as a married couple!
Gotta have pictures for all these first times ...
The Rodeo was Great! I mean everything a Texas Girl could ask for ... Horses, Cows, Cowboys, Husband in his cowboy outfit (quite Handsome husband, I might add), Clowns, Singing, Best Rodeo Announcer EVER, being w/ friends, etc. I could go on and on! One of the favorite parts: They had four generations of horses! They started with one horse that was like 24 Years old (I don't remember their names), then they brought out her daughter, and then her daughter, then finally the great granddaughter! Again, I wanted a picture of this, but NO ... I had to have a dumb moment! Anyways, it was amazing the similarities of them! They were beautiful!
After the rodeo, we finally went to eat! We did not have enough time to eat before the rodeo, so we had to starve through it! We decided on Logan's! We get there, seeing only 5 cars in the parking lot ... of course, Logan's closes at 10:00 on Thursday Night! Because it was a week night, nothing was open ... we finally found the faithful Rosa's! Yum Yum!!
Darren and Charlotte
Us at Rosa's.
To end our crazy, but wonderful night ... I realized that I lost one of my earrings! No telling where it fell out, but I lost it before the rodeo started! You can see in both of the pictures ... only one earring!

It's a ...
Yup, you guessed it ... Ryan and Marissa will be having a girl early July! Congrats to you two!!Tuesday, February 19, 2008
What was I thinking?
I have this dream: After delivering our baby, the doctor will hand the baby to Bryan ... then he will hand the baby to me and tell me the gender. (we are not pregnant ... I figured I should add that in real quick). So unlike most of my friends and family members, I do not want to find out the gender of the baby at midterm. Bryan, on the other hand, wants to find out as soon as possible.
We compromised (like most married couples do) and decided that we would not find out on our first child, but could on the next! Well even though we are not prego, the topic still comes up! We discuss it, but still usually come to the same conclusion.
Bryan's twin brother and wife are expecting and were supposed to find out today what they are having, but the appointment was rescheduled for tomorrow.
Here is the regretful saying: "Hey Bryan, if Ryan and Marissa have a girl, then we can find out at midterm ... but if they are having a boy, we have to wait until the baby is born." Within minutes, I asked if I could take it back ... Bryan said, "NOPE." The reason that I said this is because both Bryan and Ryan want to have the first grandson. SO if they are having a girl, then I doubt Bryan will be about to wait until full term to find out what we are having!
I am praying for them to have a healthy baby, whether that is a boy or a girl. Ryan is supposed to call Bryan whenever they find out tomorrow morning ... it's crazy how that appointment is going to be big for both of us!!
