It’s a sad day in the land of coconuts. Krishelle, or as we
like to call her now that she is an island girl, “K-Shell” is leaving us
tonight. I can’t believe two weeks have already gone by. One time when I was
twelve I had to go to Camp Steiner for an entire week with the Boy Scouts and
it felt like an entire decade. Actually, in a way, I feel like my soul is still
at that camp, being forced to jump into icy waters and not die of sadness. I
wish Krishelle’s visit had been like that. Not the jumping into icy water or
sadness or scouting parts but the part about it feeling like a whole decade.
Well, at least we had some fun while she was here. Happy
trails, K-Shell.
And now, your pictures and distractions:
Crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing:
50 Shades of Chicken. Thanks, Mandy.
Squatty Potty. Thanks, Mandy.
Moew-or. Thanks Emily.
In memory of our childhoods and in honor of Pioneer Day this week (don't worry--it's a Mormon thing), Oregon Trail! Thanks, Susan.
Character Snuggie. More or less. Thanks, Carrie.
And why not a little something on the dream cat wedding? Thanks, Risaha.
An update on the world of Prancercise. Thanks, Laureen.
~It Just Gets Stranger
What is all over your faces?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteMud. We were told that it's good for your skin, but it just smelled a lot like poop.
DeleteI'm using your sunset as my facebook cover photo. Its that beautiful. I hope you don't mind. Thanks for sharing Eli! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat, as long as you use a picture of me as your profile pic, is TOTALLY fine.
DeleteI kid.
Oh my gosh, the sunset picture looks like the sky is on fire :D
ReplyDelete(sings) "This sky is on fiirrreee! This sky is on firererer"
DeleteHA! My supervisor's ring tone is that song. It drives me a little nuts when she leaves her cell phone near my station and it rings at like 80 decibels and I have to dispatch and answer phones like it ISN'T blaring in my ear.
DeleteI had a terrifying chicken experience!! I was at a friends house and they have 4 chickens. None look like the QofC but they're still pretty evil. They had just laid their first eggs so we all went out to see. Stupid, I know. We were in a tiny enclosed space with these demons! Anyway, they suddenly came flying at my face! Not cool chickens, not cool.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! I need to come visit asap!
ReplyDeleteOregon Trail. There goes the rest of my day.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that a whole chapter of your book is dedicated to explaining exactly why you hate camping so much. I can only imagine there is an amazing story in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures today.
Am I the only one freaked out by the jellyfish pictures?
ReplyDeleteWas just referred to your blog and LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading all I can about Palau, my daughter leaves me tomorrow to spend a year as a teacher there on the island. Hopefully her adventures are half as exciting!!!!
Welcome! Who is your daughter? I'll keep an eye out for here (this is a VERY small island, so I'll probably see her 27 times every single day).
DeleteUm, so... How did my kids on Oregon Trail get Chlamydia? I am just a little confused... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI blame bad parenting. Maybe you should consult eligetstobeamommy.blogspot.com for some tips. You sound like you might suffer from "June Snapple Syndrome."
DeleteAlso, before submitting that ^ I had to do the captca thing. The picture of the numbers was totally blurry and unreadable (no, I do NOT need glasses!), so I tried to do the audio thing. Yeah, it TOTALLY sounded like whale mating calls. I couldn't even stop laughing long enough to switch back to visual. And, you know what? After you laugh so hard you are clenching your stomach and crying, the whole thing REPEATS itself!
ReplyDeleteThose jelly fish pictures are creepy. Awesome.
ReplyDeletethe things nightmares are made of:

ewww, maybe that's what happens when lizards and snakes mate...
DeleteTHEY ARE EVOLVING! (watch Evolution and you'll see)
I thought the picture was terrifying enough but then I read in the article that the lady woke up to the demon-creature MAKING IT'S WAY ACROSS THE WALL using it's TALONED CLAW!!!!!!! Now I'm still awake at 6:45am unable to sleep because I keep picturing it grappling across my ceiling and over my head to attack and take me with it to the fiery depths of the 9th circle of hell where it came from as an offering to its dark master.
DeleteYAY!!! Thanks Eli for posting the Oregon Trail, and yes apparently there are zombie pioneers. LOL
ReplyDeleteI looked at this on Friday, as per usual, and now I have squatty potty ads all over my Facebook. Yay for 'personalized' ads!
ReplyDeleteThe Squatty Potty is no joke! You have not lived until you've taken a ridiculously satisfying poo by way of squat. Try it, you'll see.
ReplyDeleteMy first response to the featherless chicken was "GAHH KILL IT!!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!! But then after reading the article I have to say... My initial response still rings true... The thought of the Queen of Colors naked and with a score to settle will haunt my dreams for the rest of my life...
ReplyDeleteHowever, I must say that I would sell my soul to own a Harry Potter snuggie!!!!! Perhaps it would give me the power to rid the world of that promiscuous chicken. INCENDIO or CONFRINGO!!!! Yeah... That'd do it!
