Time De Bueno- Edit: What Be Thee has now been answered!

June 16, 2008 by Maren 5 Comments

We recently had a great time with Michael’s family in Brown County, IN. Here are some pics, since that’s what you care about anyway.

A serious Bocce Ball discussion…

Awww…

A trail hike…

A climb up a tower…

To a nature center…

where we also saw this (and were thankful it was inside a glass cage)…

until we came across this roadkill on a walk after dinner…

A walk to the cool nearby town of Story, IN (now an Inn)…

Wii had a ton of fun…

A Just Because Photo…

And a trip down memory lane! THEY BROUGHT ONE OF THESE TO LOUISVILLE, FOLKS (or at least the other side of the river)!!!! This is several notches above Taco Bell, and a standard Oklahoman cuisine! I was in my happy place after my order of crunchy potato chicken burrito and mexidips & Chips was no more…

AND… WHAT BE THEE?

Contest Answer: Carbonation in a 2 Liter Soda Bottle (Sierra Mist). Thanks to the few who played. Better luck next time! Special Kudos to my sister’s interesting guess: A globe behind glass that has drops of water on it. She thought the dark shape on the left was Africa. A+ for creativity!

Stay Tuned in the near future for another WHAT BE THEE? Contest!

The End…

Great Mulling Material

I’ve been mulling on this song for days. Good stuff.

Health Food Junkie

Recently, Michael & I had overnight guests. Michael was in charge of serving lunch because I was at work. I gave Michael a few ideas of items he could serve. At 4:00, I called him to inquire about the lunch menu he had served and quickly realized that he had diverted onto his own lunch-making path. The conversation went like this:

Maren: Were you able to scrounge up something for lunch?
Michael: Mmmmhmmmmm.
Maren: What did you end up eating?
Michael: Ravioli, Chips, & Bologna Sandwiches (And a Dilly Bar which he OMITED from the list lunch menu–probably intentionally.)
Maren: Um…Did you offer them anything healthy? Veggies? Fruit?
Michael: (slight pause) Diet Coke with LIME???

Hahaha! I’m thankful for gracious family guests & a husband who keeps my smile intact!

Choose Your Own Blog Adventure: You be the Judge

June 9, 2008 by Maren 2 Comments

Remember those old Choose Your Own Adventure Stories? Here’s a modern day Choose Your Own Blog Adventure written just for you.

Yesterday a lady informed me, “I am on the wrong planet and I have to get back to mine.” At first I thought she was kidding, but alas, no joke here. I had thought she had misspoken and was trying to give a crazy person the benefit of the doubt—but ALL benefit of the doubt was shattered when she used the same verbiage again “I am on the wrong planet and I have to get back to mine.” She then told me that people were out to lock her up and put her in the loony bin. hmm…wonder why? She told me that she used to be bright and had planned to make something of herself by being a journalist until ‘they tried to get her.’ No further comments are necessary, your honor.

Verdict:

This lady is indeed crazy. Maren was right to think that the martian woman was in need of a new rocker, because this lady is apparently off hers and her original rocker was undoubtedly obliterated by the UFO mothership. Although Maren reserves the right to feel sorry for this woman, the poor martian woman is still crazy. Please skip to page 77 by clicking here.

There is nothing remotely odd about this lady and she is nowhere near crazy. Maren, you’re the one that needs to be admitted. This poor martian woman was probably your neighbor on Mars…or is that Venus where women originate? Please skip to page 66 by clicking here.
