it's a hard knock life...

sidenote: I get unreasonably excited about seasonal M&M colors...

Okay, mental war...when candy jar reaches this level I am always trapped between the "I should just go ahead and eat the rest because they are almost gone anyway" argument and the "that's the perfect amount to be eaten tomorrow" argument.

my life is so hard.

You've lost that loving feeling....

Conversation after dinner tonight:

(context we had a HUGE dinner tonight and Andy said his stomach was big after eating it)

Sandy: Are you pregnant?

Andy: I might be. I'm feeling very emotional.

Sandy: Whatever, you have no emotion --- you have no feelings.

Andy: That isn't true. Right now I'm feeling full.

Sandy: Feeling full is not an emotion.

Andy: Yes it is.

i go to college

Introducing a new kleinlife blog feature "i go to college".

For anyone who has spent any time at all on a college campus it should be a well known fact that walking behind students on campus and overhearing pieces of conversation can be interesting/amusing/weird/creepy/etc.

As some of you know, I think this is one of the best and most amusing "side effects" of working on a college campus. It only seems fair to share these amusing moments with all of you...

Example: this was a text from my friend Tyler I received today...

"Following awkwardly close to two girls who are talking about one of their friends becoming a witch. Thought of you. Not because of the witch thing"

So funny.

By the way, Tyler, not sure how I feel about you finding it necessary to add that last sentence. Thanks for that. We will have words later.. Beware.

winner winner chicken dinner

On our way home from the state fair today we had dinner at the Brookville Hotel ... For those of you unfamiliar the Brookville Hotel is a super fab restaurant that only serves family style chicken dinners and has been since 1919....

So at the end of our meal the waitress kindly brings us a bag to take our uneaten fried chicken home in.... As we are sitting at our table finishing our ice cream two people walk by and offer us their "take home" bags of fried chicken, explaining they were on a bus tour and couldn't take it with them but didn't want it to go to waste. SCORE! Free fried chicken.

Only we felt awkward paying and walking out with 3 bags of chicken.... So what makes us feel less awkward...shoving two bags of chicken in my purse and acting like we are only leaving with one.....

Stowing away food in my purse and we are only 27 ... The future looks bleak...

editorial correction

So for those of you that visit our blog often you might remember a certain "Hmm. Interesting" post involving Andy's ascertaining that many cats were named pickles. I graciously called this into question...and today I got this email from Andy...

Pickles, a Siamese kitten, demonstrates how a live cat trap is used Wednesday at the Helping Hands Humane Society, 2625 N.W. Rochester Road. Pickles will be available for adoption in two weeks.


-----------------------------------------

Andy's email(s) read:

Ha ha ha! See!?!?!? And it is such a smart cat too! Its trained to do livetrap demonstrations! I bet it can even let itself out, reset the trap, and give a little talk about the benefits of using live traps, then they probably follow that all up with a little wine and cheese reception so that attendees have the chance to personally chat with Pickles.




Thanks Uncle Kelly, for bringing this to Andy's attention so that he could have his "ha ha I'm right" moment. I'll keep this incident in mind, when I'm thinking about what to get you for Christmas.

This would be the best day of my life: http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/15/gilmore-girls-the-movie/

So I'm walking by "ultimate frisbee practice" ....there are not enough "hmm interesting"'s in the world to describe...

Wordizzle from baby J...

I'M GORGEOUS!!!

Hmm..interesting

Hmm..interesting. This was the guy sitting in front of us at the K-State football game yesterday...he's one of those types that listens to the game on headphones, while watching it..nothing really wrong with that...but in case you can't see it his headphones say

"OPERATES ONLY ON AIRCRAFT

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE"

super classy, dude.

Yay for Atwood FFA's county collective booth at Kansas State Fair...do you do home office organizing and labeling...because we would totally hire you!!!

Ain't no stoppin' me now...

So I know many of you have been cursing my blogging absence (okay one person said they were bored without it and went to my head)...be careful what you wish for megan..this is my first post from my new iPhone so now there is no stoppin' me. I hope this will give a boost to the hmmm interesting column.

Stay tuned.
