Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

Brianne said that she doesn't think our relationship is going to survive the big office move this week because apparently I'm being "emotionally abusive" when I have my "temper tantrums" and "act like" her "child used to act when he was five and" she "told him it was bedtime."

Admittedly, I may have been somewhere approaching bridezilla on Tuesday, but I've been saying "please" and "thank you" to most people since at least Wednesday afternoon.

I DON'T LIKE CHANGE, OK?!? Being a 75-year-old man on the inside is the entire basis of my relationship with Matt. If I wasn't this way, none of us would have Mr. Pants in our lives. So you're welcome!

And now, your Pictures & Distractions:
Last day in the office hashtag selfie. 


My niece and I behave the same way after a long day at work.

Mr. Pants talked about the real issues this week in Strangerville. 

If you're ever having a bad day, try to remember that this is the look on Mr. Pants's face when he's hiking.

Mr. Pants made a very important announcement this week on Instagram.

I've been tweeting lately.

Usually about food.

Jolyn and I texting about Strangerville.


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

Wonderful zoo prank. Thanks, Brittany.

  1. I NEED that candidacy shirt!!!!! Seriously. Why hasn't anyone created a shop for you yet? Is there a copyright issue where the shop has to be made by you? Because I would totally buy knockoff, because you're clearly too busy/lazy/lawyering/TV watching/Ironmanning/pet sitting to make the shirts happen. :) But seriously.

  2. Eli - you MUST be nicer to Brianne!

    We've already fallen in love with too many people through your blog only to have them horrendously and unceremoniously ripped from our lives - WE SIMPLY CANNOT SURVIVE ANOTHER LOSS!

    1. Haha. I love that on days when it feels like the world is ending and my heart hurts for so many people, I can rely on stranger and all of the strangers here for a much needed pick me up. Stranger for life. And prayers for all.

    2. Nicole, are you referring to Tami? I think you're right. She is due for an update. What with her new hairdo and all.
