Happy Birthday to me!

I am really thrilled right now because I feel a great weight lifted off my shoulders. You see, I have had a large trial in my life, that trial being a desire for sports. I have played many a sport in my time, only to be disgusted and dismayed by the amount of time and effort it took to find players. I have had to return them, get rid of them, etc., with a great lump of sorrow in my throat. But don’t worry any longer. All my problems are now solved, because Joy bought me something I have desired for many days: a set of golf clubs, brand new out of Costco! I love em. I just used em and my drive was completely pin straight after about 2 strokes, versus about 20 strokes that it used to take me. The main differences between these and a some used clubs are that they’re 100% new, very durable, fast, and I gets really good shots, so no waviness will be left behind after the swing is finished. Thanks, Joy

Merry Christmas to Me!

I am really thrilled right now because I feel a great weight lifted off my shoulders.  You see, I have had a large trial in my life, that trial being wavy, thick hair that cannot be tamed by a typical flat iron.  I have bought many a straightener in my time, only to be disgusted and dismayed by the amount of time and effort it took to tame these locks.  I have had to return them, get rid of them, etc., with a great lump of sorrow in my throat.   But don’t worry any longer.  All my problems are now solved, because Pace bought me something I have desired for many years: a Farouk Chi Turbo 1″ flat iron, brand new off EBay!  I love it.  I just used it and my hair was completely pin straight after about 5 minutes’ work, versus about 20 minutes that it used to take me.  The main differences between this and a regular flat iron are that it’s 100% ceramic, it’s very durable, it heats up really fast, and it gets really hot so no waviness will be left behind after its job is finished.  Thanks, Pace!

To Vegas or not to Vegas

Here is an update to raise more questions for our life. Bizsight Communications (Pace’s possible employer) is in the process of attaining an office in Orem, Utah. This means that we will either still move to Vegas to work there, or stay in Utah Valley area to work at the Orem office. Very interesting. Stay tuned to see what happens.

Yet another Story

Sorry for the frequent posts, but I found a verrrry interesting story or two from last night. So as most of the McCullochs who have lived in our house know.. our power goes out quite often. For some reason our circut thingy just isn’t very good. So it’s Sunday night, having family home evening, and talking about how to recognize spirits, good and bad. Dad goes “And remember when there’s a bad spirit, you’ll shake his hand and you can’t feel it. KAAWHOM! Every light in the house (and half of charlotte) goes out. Dad then says “Well lets NOT TRY IT NOW” Yes that was funny, now on to story numero dos! So we didn’t know that more than just our neighberhood was out, when our good friend johnny calls. He asks if we have power. That’s wierd because the Williams NEVER lose power. We usually go to their house when we lose power. So we decided to go out driving, to see how much was out. We get in the car with flashlights and all and drive out. We see over half the arboretum is completely dark, and everything past that was also. (locals: taco bell’s side and on was out, wal mart and past was still on) So we drive around and decide to stop at the Williams just for the heck of it. Dad suggests we go around the back to scare the crap out of them.. heh heh heh. So we do, we go around very stealthily, walk onto the deck and point flash lights into their house, we see Johnny jump, and run upstairs, we keep doing it and see elizabeth jump too. So we decided we were done and went to the front. We get to the door to find elizabeth standing there on the phone and when she sees us DIVES to the floor in the room next to her. Then when we knock on the door she peeks out, sees us, opens the door, and screams at us. We then hear the story of how johnny saw a light, ran upstairs and got out his super sharp knife (it’ll kill somone) and elizabeth told their parents, who both didn’t believe them. It reminded us of one of those movies were kids are actualy telling the truth but the parents don’t believe them so the kids are left to save the world. Yes well sorry for such a long post. But it was an extensive story.

Epsom Salt

Pace mentioned Epsom salt in the post revealing myself as an author, and my mom read it and suggested i told the story. So here goes..
Mom was gone to Utah for the 2 weeks, and we (my dad, me, and my best friend johnny) were going to ci-ci’s. (An excellent speciality pizza buffet) On the way there in the car, johnny is sittin in the back and is being regular curious johnny, and looking around. He finds a bag of white powdery, shelly, salty, like stuff. And goes “Why do you have cocaine in your car?” Me and dad look at each other and dad says “Must be mom’s secret stash.. Lemme see it” While driving opens up the bag, smells it, looks at it, puts a bit on his finger.. and.. Sticks the finger in his mouth. He immediantly spits it out and makes the wierdest “This is the worst thing I’ve ever tasted in my life” face I’ve ever seen. Me and johnnny (johnny and I sorry) begin laughing. I pull out my cell phone and call mom. She picks up.. here is what was said.. “Hello?” “Mom why do you have a bag of cocaine in the car?” “(gasp) Did you get pulled over??!” “hahahaha no dad just ate some, what is it?” “HAHA he ate some!?” “yeah what is it?” “It’s epsom salt” “It’s epsom salt dad.. what’s that?” “It’s stuff I soak my foot in.”
Yeah we laughed some more as dad decided he couldn’t eat very much pizza with foot taste in his mouth.

Married Lessons

Men who tolerate chick flicks are sexy

Here’s a little “married lesson”: This evening, Pace asked me out of the blue if I wanted to go rent the movie “Must Love Dogs” from our local Red Box. This was surprising to me, because he doesn’t generally enjoy that genre of movie, the genre being a chick flick. But to me, after having had a restful yet somewhat boring Saturday, this idea seemed appealing. In fact, I was delighted by his suggestion. I was in the mood to watch a movie like that, but for a moment I did have a painful recollection of the last time we rented a chick flick which was Elizabethtown, which ended up being the weirdest, most annoying and uneventful movie we had seen in a long time. But nevertheless, Pace fearlessly stood in line in the freezing cold at the Red Box and waited a good 15 minutes for some very indecisive people to make their big $1 decisions for the night. Nada and Darin came over to watch the chick flick with us, too. But just like the last chick flick we saw, it turned out to be slow and sort of lame (although not as lame as Elizabethtown). However, I was very grateful to Pace for sacrificing what I assume were his initial desires to rent a more masculine, action-packed movie. So basically, it turned out to be a successful event, even though the movie wasn’t very good, because he did something he figured would make me happy, even though it wasn’t #1 on his list of fun things to do for the night. The moral of the story is that men who tolerate chick flicks are sexy.

Yet another reason…

Yet another reason to read McBlog daily, Cotton has agreed to be an author. Watch for his first post soon. He says that “he promises nothing” reffereing to the quality of his content, or frequency of writing? I’m not sure, but don’t expect much from him. Maybe he’ll post some of his artwork. And congrats to Ty for posting his first post.
