Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

You guys. Valentine's Day. It's not that I don't love that I'm Cathie's "NUMBER ONE VALENTINE XOXOXOXOXOXOXO" again. But this holiday just gets more and more annoying for me every year. And this one is particularly obnoxious. It is destroying a weekend!

I'm fine with Valentine's Day ruining a Monday. Tuesday or Wednesday? Fine. Thursday? Not ideal, but have at it. BUT WHY MUST IT DESTROY AN ENTIRE WEEKEND!?

Here. Have some Pictures and Distractions:
Burke was just sitting there and Ollie walked over and plopped down like this and I love him BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT PUPPY DOES IS CUTE.


Ollie politely waits for Rebecca to give him food he knows he can't have. 

I like big butts and I cannot lie.

I rediscovered this at Bob and Cathie's house last weekend. One of you sent this to me a while back and now I don't remember who. Sorry and thank you!

The sun sets on downtown Salt Lake City.

Island cabinets installed! Up next, counter-top. 

You guys. This isn't funny. Thanks, Adam.



Crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing:

23 things that get way more exciting as you get older. Thanks, Amy.

Taylor Swift 1988 National Aerobic Championship Opening. Thanks, Amy.

Conan at a Korean Bathhouse. My same experience except he didn't lose his clothes. Thanks, Magan.

26 pictures that will make you want to burn the Internet to the ground. Thanks, Lori.

House of Cards leaked for a moment. Timing is everything, people. Thanks, Brad.

There's no other way to say this: A 109-year-old man is knitting penguin sweaters. Thanks, Derrick.

The real cause of addiction. Thanks, Matthew.

Facebook now lets you control what happens to your account after you die. Thanks, Rod.

A little Paul for all my lonely friends on Valentine's Day.

  1. I saw someone post: "I don't need a valentine. I need 8 million dollars and a fast metabolism."
    Eli, I told you I was new to your blog and have read many of the old post. Uuuuuuh, am I going crazy? I have seen some of those pics in older posts. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm new, so, I'll just wait for the others to comment so I can GET IT. :')

    1. Do you follow him on the Instagrams? ;) I think I saw the Rebecca and Ollie picture on there earlier this week. Sometimes, his IG pics show up on Friday posts.

    3. Emmy,
      First of all, your hair is fabulous. Did you change shampoos? Secondly, Eli takes a lot of pictures of Ollie, which look nothing like (read that: exactly like) pictures from last week. And lets be real, just like the cowbell, there can never be too much Ollie. But seriously, you look great today. ( You too, Eli. I think your haircut creates conversation, and honestly you could use some help in that department. Lord knows you can't find anything else to talk about...)

  2. Please install electrical outlets in your island. I didn't think it was a big deal and now I wish I had at least one!

    2. Eli, would ya have a look at this vid I just came across and notice what I had noticed at about 3:12 minutes into it. Check out (hear) her mild expression of the thing! Was that the sound you made when you rediscovered the thing at Cathie and Bob's house??? :D

  3. Eli, is Ollie going to be your valentine this year? You shouldn't be complaining!

  4. Seriously...I can't take any more of this overrated exaggerated HIPPY DIPPY BALONEY!!! This place has turned ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. I just can't believe I'm even bothering to post this I'm so annoyed and disheartened right now. You've just gone too far Eli. YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR!!!

    ...I mean, as if Rebecca would EVER feed Ollie something he's not supposed to have. You just crossed the line with that comment.

    1. Would it make a difference if I told you the pizza was supposedly gluten free?

    1. It only hurts if they have a soul. My 20 month-old son is a ginger, and he has a soul. His soul likes throwing everything that isn't bolted down (and some that is), terrorizing the cats, tackling his brother who is double his weight and then pulling his hair (or tackling him by the hair), pulling keys off of keyboards, and acting all cute and snuggly for a portion of each day in a form of manipulation of my heart that I'd never have imagined. (My cousin, also a ginger, gets to blow stuff up for a living. Hmm...)

    2. Yes, and you have a father-in-law who is ginger who likes to blow things up and is a trouble maker.

  6. It's the dancing homeless man in the sunset picture! Fun fact: He will always compliment your shirt.
