Surprise!

So we went to one of my co-workers wedding today. It was a really beautiful wedding, but it made me realize how grateful I was for the temple. The ceremony was really nice, but it felt kind of empty. So I guess my heart is really just full of thanks that I'm stuck with Joe forever, and not "until just death do us part."

We are watching the couples' dog while they go on the honeymoon so its been a little crazy around here. They like to play king of the mountain on our bed right before bedtime and early in the morning (when they deem its time for us to wake up.) They are really funny together though. They will only eat the other's food and won't touch their own. They always want the other's toy. I guess dogs really are like children.

Well, time to say goodnight!!

P.S. (It's titled surprise so you would be surprised about the content matter!) :0)

New Promotion!

So, on Friday, my boss calls me in and says we need to talk and that its pretty serious. He then proceeds to tell me that he has decided to promote me to Executive Assistant with accompanying pay raise. Yay!!! I told Joe he should be the stay at home dad; he didn't laugh. :)

This is when he gave me the "Janet look"; however, Joe claims he is the one who started "the look." You know,the one where you do the glare/roll of the eyes. And this is when I realized that all of the Scoresby's use "the look", although I think Janet, Joe, and Emily have perfected it. I also think "the look" comes out most often when one is losing a game. We can test it at Christmas. So maybe this will be a family trait Joe can pass down since I would never be able to pull it off! :0) Below is a video clip of the look for those of you who haven't had the privilege of being on the receiving end of "the look."



Other news, I found some maternity shirts on sale at Old Navy for like $7 and under. Although the only one that you can tell that I'm slightly pregnant is the one below. Thanks Mom for the shirt; its really cute. I'm sure I will get big soon enough. The little bump is the baby in case you were wondering. Ciao!

The Ultimate LEGO Book

One of my favorite websites, Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, recently reviewed what has to be the best LEGO book ever: a collection of projects that LEGO would never, ever, ever sell, mainly because you could put somebody's eye out with it:


Forbidden Lego


Not only do you get pictures of actual LEGO catapults, you get fully-automatic LEGO guns. All sorts of cool LEGO toys!

I hope it's cute enough!

don't ask me how, but I found a website called Cuteoverload.com that strives to be just that: an overloading of cuteness. They have several 'rules of cuteness', and we found that our dog unintentionally fulfills many, many of them. However, she did better when she was a puppy, so I present our two submissions to
CuteOverload:

Sloppy Joe's Kitchen

You may wonder how I manage to get up to 160 lbs, like Tracy mentioned, considering the amount of cooking that doesn't happen in our house.

I leave you to ponder my sister Emily's words, and see how I learned to cook. (At least in my mind): Sloppy Joe's Kitchen

Incomunicado

For those of you who are unaware, we've moved. (If you need our new address, email or call our cell phones. Don't expect a fast answer from email or the house phone. See below for details.)

For the much larger percentage who are unaware of this: We have our cable TV, telephone, and internet service provided by Comcast. I don' t like them much at all.

When we moved I tried to move our service from our old apartment to our new, however, the previous resident had not canceled their service, so Comcast wouldn't complete the move unless I faxed them a copy of our lease.

How to explain this best: I don't like giving people solid data about me. Especially forms that detail things about my family, where we live, how much we pay for the privilege of living there, etc... It's none of their business. If they want to know, they can call the leasing office and confirm my address.

Anyway, yesterday they disconnected the previous resident's service for failure to pay, ignoring the fact that I told them we had moved in there and I was still paying; they just hadn't moved my service to the new location.

Since it's a move, we just get the next available appointment, even though all they have to do is plug in the stuff in the demarc point outside the building. The 'next available appointment?' Sunday, between 12 and 3, Eastern time.
