The Woman with Two White Shoes??

This morning I decided to make it to the gym. Keith and I got ready and headed over. I went to work out in the woman's gym while Keith headed upstairs. I hopped on the treadmill and about two minutes into my work out, I felt something a little funny on my left foot. Not thinking much of it and convinced it was my mind telling me that I needed to go home and be lazy, I ignored it. As I continued to run, I felt as if I was running lopsided. I happen to look down at my feet and what do I see: THIS!

Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? Clearly one shoe is an athletic shoe and the other is just an old shoe that serves no purpose at all. How did I not notice this? I tied my shoes and got out of the house without being aware that I was wearing two completely different shoes. At this point, I was pretty embarassed. Not that anyone stares at your feet, but this was a little hard to miss. As I finished up my work out, I met up with Keith and notified him of what was on my feet. Do you know what he said?? "I noticed that when we were leaving the house and also when we were walking in to the gym, I just thought you were into a new fad you read in one of your magazines." I do have a subscription to US weekly, but has anyone ever heard of two different pairs of shoes being a fad? I could have died laughing that for one, I went out of the house looking like this and for two, Keith honestly believed I did this on purpose. Sweetie, I have lots to teach you about style and clearly someone needs to teach me how to dress myself!

Thanks alot Dad and Keith

Keith got me a new knife set for Christmas. I was so excited because I was tired of having to strain through cutting cheese and bread. The minute I unwrapped the gift, Keith told me that I was going to cut myself. I don't blame him for saying it because I am sort of clumsy and tend to hurt myself all the time. Upon unwrapping the present, my dad called. I told him what Keith had got me and then my dad too said, I was going to cut myself. Am I missing something? I didn't realize I was that much of a hazzard in the kitchen. I thanked my dad for the confidence in me and I hung up. After that, I left the knives in the box and left them in the living room. Scared to touch them or even to look at them for fear I was going to slice my finger off. I continued to use my old, dull knives until one day I built up enough courage to use them. A bell pepper was sitting on the counter awaiting my arrival. I tackled that bell pepper and showed it who was boss with the new, ever so sharp knife. Until..... SLICE!!! Right through my middle!!! As I was standing there bleeding, I debated if I should even tell Keith I cut myself. Forget it, I needed help, I was about to lose my finger hahaha. Of course, Keith laughed at me (all in fun) then bandaged me up. He finished cutting the veggies. I was too scared. My next step was to call my dad and notify him of the situation. I said that he and Keith both cursed me and I will forever be scared to use the knives. Thanks alot fellas.

The Christmas Caper Part II Quest for the Jewlery Box

So what I neglected to tell everyone was after I had proven my husband wrong about the where abouts of the infamous jewlery box, we were informed by the good ol' target personel that they were out of the one I wanted on top of all the others that were displayed. I asked him if there was another Target close by that had one. His reply: NO. I was a little upset that I had went to all this trouble, but what is that word to describe what just happened... Oh yeah... KARMA. I had given Keith such a hard time that I was now being punished. We checked another Target close to our house and they also didn't have one. For the next week, it turned into a conquest! I was bound and determined. It wasn't even about finding a home for my wonderdul Claire and Icing purchases, oh no, it was war! Target vs The Ball's. (gotta love our last name) Keith was even on board. Everytime we past a Target, it was impossible to just drive by with out going in. One day, we got lucky. I found it! It was glowing on the shelf. So beautiful in all its glory. It wasn't the original one I picked out and no longer on sale, but still mine to keep. We get the last one. We get it home, pull it out of the box and it looked to be already essembled and ready to go. Till we saw that the top where the mirror sits was not attached. The hinges in a small bag and the screws were the size of a fingernail. Guess who volunteered himself for the job? Keith! No excitement however. After much consideration as to what microscopic screwdriver it would take to screw these things in and after a few attempts, Keith cursed out Target for making the impossible impossible. I ended up laying the top on with out the hinges in place, found a home for all of my cheap jwelery and called it a day!

Movie Mishaps

Upon meeting Keith, I soon realized that he is not much for TV or movies. I on the other hand, have seen about everymovie out there, including all the stupid ones which are the ones I rather enjoy. Since being with Keith, I have tried to bring him to my world of Hollywood entertainment.
One of my favorites that I enjoy whole heartedly is:
Now I know what you all are thinking. Why on earth would Keith ever be interested in this silly show. Well... your right. He hates this show and as a matter of fact, he will sit there and watch it with me to count how many times they say the word "Like" He has never sat through a whole episode because he can't take much more after five minutes. So I kinda understand why he doesn't give me much credit for picking out movies. Here are just a few examples of movies that he hasn't really enjoyed:


Just to list a couple. Now, I try not to discriminate against chic flicks so I feel I should try to see all of them and Keith just so happens to be my movie buddy. He on the other hand, doesn't share my enthusiasm. One day I was feeling real bad about never letting him chose so I handed the reigns over and this is what we ended up seeing:

Some of you may have thought this movie was great and I am sure it probably was if I had seen any other James Bond flicks. Since I haven't, I got a good nap in.
One bad pick after another, I was bound to prove Keith wrong that I could pick an excellent movie that both of us could enjoy. I think he was hopeful, but lacked confidence in my choices. I had heard good things about this new movie that just came out and when I described the plot to him, he gave me a look with one eyebrow raised said he would take one for the team yet again. Here was my pick:

It was a hit!!!Keith loved it even though it was 3 hours long. For those of you who haven't seen this movie or even go to the movies, I strongly encourage you to set a date nite and journey to your nearest cinema to check it out. Get plenty of snacks cause your in for a long nite!
