The 2011 Christmas Card

The year of 2011 has gone by all too fast. But given that we were both on the edge of being kicked out of the singles ward due to our dinosaur like age we decided we best grow up and get married. Some people fall in love…others suffer through years of parental lectures and eventually give in like we did. While we are not proud that our parents won… we are proud that we held strong for thirty years.



So now we are married and we live in a tiny basement home, we have much less money, we drive trashier cars, we have an empty fridge, no cable (which has nearly killed Richael), we auction our organs on ebay for rent money, and we have NO fun….and NOW our parents are happy.


Our parents thought they won the battle. But now they want grandkids. ( Jokes on them…. because we are planning on holding out another thirty years).






Merry Christmas !!






love


The new Hurless Family


(Richael and Ronnie)

tomboy i am

I am still a tomboy and I still enjoy grossin the sisters. So when I had surgery and pulled this little gem outta my nose I had to send them the picture text. Here it is....and may I say this was just one of MANY.

I saw in on my phone today and just couldn't help but post it. lol

college gotta love it

RIchael came home with this little gem yesterday!

All I can say is MAN I am so glad this is not me. (see below)

Richael suprises

Living with Richael has been realitively easy and even pleasant at times. Like when I come home and he has done laundry...or dishes...or cleaned the front room. Last night was one of those nights. I had been sick all week with a head cold and SO many things did not get done. I kept thinking I would be better the next day. Before I knew it..the week was nearly over ...I had to go to work..the house was on the brink of being condemned due to its state of disaster and I STILL felt like crap and my body oozed with snot. Needless to say..it was a bad week that just got worse.

But this morning I got home from work and the house was assembled again. Laundry was done. Dishes were washed. I was soooooo happy I could come home and have a day of recovery before I had to go back to work. So I cuddled up next to my humidifier and relaxed while I coughed up phlegm.
It was about the time that I got up to blow my nose for the kazillionth time that I decided to bring in Richaels dish from the front room along my way and THIS IS WHAT i SAW!!! UTTER DISGUST!!

That is right....this was his cereal bowl...and his fingernail clippings to join. For some reason he just HATES to take them to the garbage and I am constantly finding them in places they should not be....and this was his latest and greatest invention.

Be sure to stay tuned for our next addition of "where will Richael try to hide his fingernail clippings next?" (previous chapters included on the coffee table, on the carpet, or under the couch..each time he gets a little more inventive.)

The Civil Wars, "Barton Hollow"

Barton Hollow - The Civil Wars - The Civil Wars Videos

I posted about these guys before but few thing give me the chills as much as this song. Amazing. And now that I know how to post the video I can tell you about it again. No man and womans voices have blended so well. And I have NEVER heard music like this song before. So different, so old school so new. It is so chilling. If you prefer the acoustic live version they have it as well on CMT. TAKE THE TIME.. listen to this song. YOu won't forget it.

Taylors new video

Ours - Taylor Swift - Taylor Swift Videos

ps THIS IS such a HUGE big deal..this is the first time I have been able to post a video on my blog fron the internet!! I am so proud of myself.

surgery and bored out o my mind

So I had surgery....AGAIN...on my sinuses.  My sisters like to say I had a "nose job." My sister had me send her a picture and this  just seemed to capture just how I felt this week.  I am still pretty drugged when I took this picture... think my right eye went lazy in the picture.  But ya...this is how I felt.

I was told not to eat after midnight. I FREAKED!  I had just gotten through fasting on Sunday!! My Surgery was not until 4:30 the next day. They tried to settle me by telling me that I could have liquids up until 10am.  I knew the risk of aspiration but I also knew that they were giving me generic precautions.  I knew that I didn't have some old lady metabolism so I ate that morning around 9:30.  Just a small candybar....and the noodles to my chicken noodle soup..and my gum.  There was NO WAY they would still be in my system by 4:30..they would be half way through my colon by then.  Which is why I HAD to eat ...cuz if i didn't I probably woulda died of starvation before I even made it to the OR table.  At least that is what i told myself as I was rebelliously eating myself happy. 

  I was told no exersize for 10 days. (My most dreaded words of life...you might as well tell me that I have to go back to dating again ... or I have to give birth naturally to a HORSE...or I have to stop eating chocolate..all equally as painful in my eyes.) So the next day I went for a much needed few miles WALK.  Richael chastized me. I reminded him that I was told no exersize...I was NOT on bedrest. Poor kid tried to keep me in line...but who are we kiddin..it s Me..RONNIE.

I bled out o my nose for 2 days straight.. I was SOOOO annoyed.  The first day I pulled a HUGE blood clot out o my nose.  (A respiratory therapists dream!! Its was so big and relieving). But then I bled like crazy. Richael made me promise not to pull any more clots out. I agreed......but than by day three my nose was all crustied with blood. I could feel big dried clots o blood in the back o my nose.  So while he was gone i got my hemostats and went to work. I cleared a good amount of DRIED blood clots out. I was finally able to clear myself a breathing path. 

Anyhow...that is my story and I am feeling sooooo much better today. 

But since i got nothing to do here are a few things that are worth the purchase. 

The wonder hanger.....It SAVED our marriage.  I have a lot of clothes...and NOT a lot of closet since the marriage. I tried these and they SAVED me from having to get rid of a lot of my clothes. 

IF you have ever seen these at costco...GET THEM!! They are amazing. Rather spendy but worth it!!! Its like a big bar o almond and dried fruit and nuts in the most delicous togetherness .  The are pretty filling as well.

I am a peppermint bark lover!! And DOVE makes one o the best!!

These milkshakes are SEASONAL at Chickfila...and how my goodnesstobetsy They are AMAZING!!

I had Richael get one for me when I wanted to slit my wrists because my nose wouldn't stop bleeding. It was just what I needed and I was happy for the next 10.5 seconds that is lasted.  Then I wallowed in self pitty again.

I NEVER woulda tried these...but coworker wanted me to try one. And o my how pleasant it was !! I DO NOT LIKE chips so I never would have tried these otherwise. They are really good. I don't know if they are healthy or not..I am sure they claim to be. But they last a long time because they are individually packed with about 12 sticks per pack. Richael even tried it without gagging so you know if can't be too bad .

funny as hell

Richael and I just had this conversation and I am still laughing about it...

RONNIE:  Oh my gosh..look at what BOBO did to brooklynn for Halloween.  This is ridiculous.

Ten minutes pass and a disney princess commercial comes on and  I start to gag.

RICHAEL:  You do realize that if we have girls it is okay for them to play with princess toys and pretend to be princesses. They don't have to be GI Joe because you like it

RONNIE:  I am not saying they can't, I am saying I am not going to make them.  When they want to choose they can and if they want to be a cheerleader they can.....and I will roll my eyes.

RICHAEL: You do realize that if we raise our girls like you want to they are all going to be lesbians.

Halloween

I was VERY disappointed in my costume this year. Wasn't RONNIE worthy so I didn't take pictures. But I did bring in a little Halloween fun. Richael came home from work and I put on a skanky bachelorette party outfit and then I beckoned him from the far room. When he got close enough I turned around and he got THIS as a halloween surprise.

PUMPKIN this year

I always carve a pumpkin. SO I just had to put up a quick post of my pumpkin this year. My inspiration is a UFC fighter. He has cauliflour ear.

Is it so wrong of me?

Is is so wrong of me if I want to have these around my house and mounted in the car for my kids? I think it is a brilliant idea.

People just laugh when I tell them this...but I am sure that after seein the convienience of it they will secretly want them for their kids too.
Just think of all the times your kid has come to you and said, "mom can you get me a drink." That is how often I WON'T HEAR it. I know...your jealous already.

FOAM FEST

Just had to put a shout out for a new run i just heard about...its called the FOAM FEST!! Its like the exact opposite of the dirty dash. You actually run through tons of suds and foam and bubbles. Sounds like so much fun!! I tried to post pictures but I won't let me copy any of them. You can expect to see OFFICIAL pictures of ME in it next year however.
Happens in September..happens in Ogden and Idaho falls.
