Viviana:
So, Vivi and I work together, work out together, go to church together, and sometimes just hang out. We are together a whole heck of a lot. I warned her this morning that I was going to blog about her and tell the TRUTH!
She’s hateful. I mean really. She tells me to hush when I call Chalene (on the work out video) names. She reminds me that Abelard is insane. She sasses me at work and threatens to punch me when I dare speak before spoken to. She criticizes my driving (she calls me “bob-and-weave”). It’s unbearable!!
Ok. That’s not ALL true. I love Vivi. She has helped keep me motivated to work out. That motivation is hard to come by for me. I’d rather sleep. She invites me over for delicious mexican food. We split carpooling to work to save on expenses. She is patient with my inability to admit being wrong (not because I know I’m wrong and I’m too stubborn to admit it; but because I honestly think I’m right).
Fabulous!
She looks amazing in her little dress 🙂 TurboFire, baby. It works.
Funny Nephews:
My sister Tiff called me last night to tell me about the pure “genius” of my nephews. My step-dad, Billy, took four of my nephews, along with three of their friends, camping the other night. God bless Billy, because I would never take 7 boys (ages 13-15) camping. No way, no how. Well, Brenden talked David into going into a cave he found with him. Brenden then decided he was going to barricade David in. So he starts piling up rocks and tree branches in a hurry. I mean, the kid is focused! But, being the oh so bright child that he is, he doesn’t realize that David isn’t in the cave – he’s right behind him, cheering him on. Brenden got nice and worn out before he realized that David wasn’t in there. Silly boy.

This next little story is one of my favorites. A few months back, I told David and Nathan (twins) that a study was done that proved one twin is significantly dumber than the other. David’s response was, “Nathan’s dumber.” Nathan’s response, “they really proved that?” Haha! Oh, Nathan. “They” didn’t prove anything, but you sure did!

Oh, my nephews! I sure do love them 🙂
Duh! WINNING!:
As I mentioned in a previous post, I never win anything. Ever. Until today.

She just added a fantastic “fly above it all” necklace that is stamped with her custom-made wings insignia. I cannot wait until I can buy it! Please, please, please, check out her store and her blog. She’s a true crafts(wo)man. It’s quality, it’s handmade, and it’s beautiful. It really doesn’t get much better!
