Week Update

Well, it’s Sunday. We have had a great week. March started, McMom is here, Joy had a baby shower, and the weather is warming up. McMom got here Tues night late, and has been having a good time since then. She enjoyed coming to primary with us today at church to see the kids we always talk about. Amanda threw Joy a baby shower last night. They had fun, I didn’t go, maybe she’ll post more details later. Meanwhile,  Joy is teaching mom how to make awesome parmesian chicken later tonight and I’m toying  with the idea of making this a family blog and letting anyone who is a mcculloch be an author, b/c I haven’t been posting as much. What do ya’ll think about that? Ok we’re out.

Comcastic

Dearly beloved, I’m sorry we’ve been offline for a while. Our comcast cable modem committed suicide, thus causing us to be unable to post for a few days. Please forgive Comcast, we are up and running again. Thank you for supporing us during our rehab.

We would also like to take this time to inform anyone who is still trying to figure this blog stuff out. If you read a post and want to say something about it, you look for the smaller words below the post that has a number then the words comments, i.e. “2 comments >>”. You then click on that which loads a new page. On the new page you scroll down and fill in the text boxes. Name, email, and your message. I think you only have to enter these one time, since the browser will autofill them for you next time… is that right? then you hit submit… that’s it! Unless you have included vulgar words, porn, or anything else I don’t like, your comment will show up immediately. Then others can comment on what you said! Try it now!

Balderdash 2 scores

Points

Good turn out this time… and the winner is…….. Ryan!

Actual answer: “Trailer Hitch Manufacturers Association”
Here’s how the scoring breaks down in a game where the points don’t really matter. Ryan gets 9000 points for answering first and being very clever; and for getting (or just by chance) McGowan to guess the exact same thing. McGowan gets 2 points for guessing the wrong answer. Ty gets -500 points for knowing that homosexuals have an association. Cotton gets 8300 points for having “Thee” in his answer. Darin scored 4787 points for including the greatest sport on earth. Yancy had 8933 points but lost 4453 points for posting multiple times, but gained 4454 points for stating that the rules were posted clearly. Steph lost any points she had left over from winning last time for guessing multiple times, posting a question in the Balderdash section and for giving Yancy a pet name of “Yance”. Thanks for playing, you guys have been great. We’ll see you next time!

Beyond Balderdash 2

INITIALS = T.H.M.A.

Balderdash rules (for those who’ve never played): “The main objective is to make up answers that will bluff other players, as well as for choosing the real and often unbelievable answer. ONE per person.

WORDS- What is the definition?
PEOPLE – What is the person known for?
INITIALS- What do they stand for?
MOVIES- What is this movie about?
DATES- What happend on this day?”

Apple Event, next week!

“Tuesday, members of the press received an invite to “come see some fun new products from Apple” on February 28 (more details here). Unlike many of the release events in the past couple of years, this latest enticement directs us to Apple’s Town Hall on the Cupertino campus. Recent rumors that the company filed a patent for a touch-screen interface for the iPod have fueled the buzz that a sixth-gen iPod is in the works. Is that what Apple will show off to the press next Tuesday?” What do you think?

Currently, Cotton has 5000 points for being funny, close to the real asnwer, and rhyming. Joy had 7000 points but lost 6001 because she called names; leaving her with 999. Ryan Gardner had 3000 points, lost 3001 for saying he was right, but gained 601 for saying he had documentation. Jason McG has 0 points b/c after I told him the answer he posted it. Steph Z has 1000 points for describing the thing that everyone hates touching when they have to reach into the disposal. Good work everyone, so the winners in alphabetical order are: Cotton, Joy, Ryan G., Steph Z.

Walmart Cover-up

A massive cover-up has been discovered at Walmart. Thanks to one honest employee by the name of Chris. Tonight Chris happened to be working the phones and let it slip that they had just recieved some Xbox 360’s. Naturally, I informed Darin and we rushed over. Upon arrival Mike at electronics said he didn’t know anything about it, and some weren’t expected till “later this week”. I said, OH NO YOU DON’T. So with the cell phone my in-laws had gotten me for Christmas I called Chris back right there. He said oh yes a manager said they had some in stock. Then Mike calls up his dark lord sith in training, we’ll just call him evil mexican guy with a strut or emgwas. Emgwas goes to “look” for them and comes back empty handed. I call Chris back again, he is “unable to identify” which manager he talked to. Mike calls the manager on duty and she informs them of other places to look. Emgwas “looks” at these locations and comes back empty handed again. At one point I overheard Mike and Emgwas talking about where to look up the barcode, Mike said why don’t you call home and get the number off of yours.. Therefore, if you want an Xbox360, or any other hard to find cool electronics, just get a job at the Orem Walmart Electronic dept. As a side note, afterwards I bought some milk and in casual talk with the front register lady, I mentioned we got shafted out of our Xbox 360 even though it seemed everyone who worked at Walmart had one. The way she agreed so whole heartedly, I knew she wanted to tell me about the cover up but was being watched. DARN YOU WALMART ELECTRONIC DEPT EMPLOYEES!

Married Lessons

It’s good to exercise (By Joy)

Tonight Pace and I went to the Smith Fieldhouse at BYU to exercise. We walked/jogged around the indoor track. I like it because it’s easy on the joints and it’s not 20 degrees in there like it is outside. The whole exercise thing is a good thing because if we don’t make it a point to do so, we are definitely considered “sedentary” in my book, because we don’t do much other exercise. At least when we were in school, we had the excuse that we had to go to and from school, and walk across campus to all our classes, and go running with people of the opposite sex just to try to impress them, etc. But now, that isn’t the case. I feel much happier when I get exercise in, especially because being prego like I am, my weight has skyrocketed anyway. But as you can see from this current photo of me here, I don’t look too bad… 😉 Please, everyone, please exercise, especially all those married people like us who are getting fat. Thank you.
