It's Tradition

Hopefully you didn't miss out on the 2008 Wollenzien Family Music video.



A Thanksgiving event that has now become a tradition. Just this past Thanksgiving we dressed Willy up again and got everyone together (virtually where necessary) and did it again.

Here's the 2010 Wollenzien Thanksgiving Music Video.

Oh Hey You (あなた)

Back in the day... Chip, one of my best friends growing up, had a foreign exchange student named You. I'm pretty sure it was spelled like this though, そなた.

Back in high school we used to tease each other every time we heard the name You, pretending the person was talking about Chip's little house guest. It got even worse when the neighbor also got an exchange student. Her name was "We" probably spelled, 私達. Of course the two of them became good friends and we had You and We hanging out all the time.

To this day I still think about You (the foreign exchange student) every time I hear her name in every day sentences.

Dewey: Was it You that took the garbage out?
Me: Chip's foreign exchange student? What is she doing around here?

Dewey: Did You eat all the rest of the M&Ms?
Me: So.. she not only loves Hello Kitty, but she's also a big fan of chocolate?

Dewey: I love You
Me: What the $(^%^* ???

I'm sure I'm not the only one of my friends who has this problem. You had a big impact on our lives, and we will never forget her. Do you think You forgot us?

Donny Osmond's Flowers

Did you know that the UPS uniform was voted the sexiest uniform for a man to wear. Well, did you also know that my man works at the UPS store. Yeah, I know. Super sexy.
That's not the only perk of his job. The UPS store has individually owned mail boxes, and our good friend Donny Osmond happens to have one there. Yeah, that's right. Dream-Boat Donny get's his mail at Dewey's place of employment.

Apparently there are other people who know that because people often send gifts to Donny, via the UPS store. And by people I imagine elderly women, probably teachers and cat lovers, or just THESE ladies. Well, the other day some flowers came in for Donny, a beautiful arrangement. So Dewey calls up his buddy Donny, who's currently in Vegas selling out seats at more that 100 bucks a pop.

Dewey: Oh hi Donny, it's Dewey here at the UPS store. I Just wanted to let you know that some flowers came in for you today.

Donny: Ah great, I love my fans. What wonderful people they are. Too bad I'm in Vegas making millions.

Dewey: Yeah, that's too bad. They're really pretty.

Donny: You know what Dewey... How about you take them home to that cute little wife of yours. And send her my love.

Dewey: Sure will Donny, good luck tonight. And no matter what anyone else says, I'd see you over Penn and Teller any time.

Donny: You're a good man Dewey, a very good man.

(The conversation ends)

So that night Dewey comes home with this flower arrangement, and now I have Donny Osmond's flowers in my kitchen.

Thank you obsessed fan.

Now here is the truth. If they weren't Donny's flowers, I'd be ticked. Dewey knows I don't ever want him spending money on flowers. My theory is, if it's not edible, it's not worth it.

What do i blog about?

I don't have cute kids. Actually, I just don't have kids. So I'm not really sure what to post here. In Relief Society the other day we talked about how some people (mostly women) get depressed by reading other people's blogs. I guess it is a way for people to glamorize their lives and this can make other people feel they are missing out or not living up to what they should or could be.

I hope this blog does the opposite of that.

I intend to inspire and entertain, and maybe even make you glad you aren't me. Or mostly just make you stop by my place for some string cheese, because I have a lot of it in my fridge.

Hello blogging world,

I'm new here so please be kind.
