Married, And How I Got There
Sunday, June 1st, 2008I am married.
There, got that out of the way.
My friends, I’m sorry the announcement comes postwedding, but I myself was only notified yesterday.
It happened like this. Folks, this is the easiest way to get married, ever.
First, find someone, preferably someone with the same last name as yourself. That way it works. If you didn’t have the same name, it wouldn’t work. For instance, a brother would work perfectly.
Second, create a bank account together. Ours was for AJ Web Studios.
Thirdly, wait. You will receive paperwork in the mail. Ours (Joe’s and mine) said, “Dear Mr. and Mrs. McLean,”.
Now you are married.
I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial on how to get married. Please do not sue me for using it incorrectly. Please do not sue me for bad results. Please do not sue me if the state thinks you aren’t really married. Thank you.
P.S. I’m not really married, just to let you know. In case you got worried or something. Like in case you were worried I sent you an invitation and you lost it…or that you didn’t get one. There was no wedding, therefore no invitations.
Cameras are handy, you know
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008Especially when one hasn’t much to write about, or doesn’t know what to write about! See the end of the post for the best parts though. 
An ornamental knife Ben made for the fund raiser our friends are putting on to adopt the Filipino girl
Another view. The blade is made out of an old saw blade, the guard is a cross of copper, and the handle is a naturally-shaped antler. Uncomfortable to hold, but awesome to put on a shelf and look at!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Saturday, March 15th, 2008Yes, my friends…today is St. Patrick’s Day, not the 17th. Why? Well, St. Patrick’s Day is always on the 17th of March, except when the 17th falls on “holy week” (the week between Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday). Then, it’s celebrated the 14th or 15th of March.
Are you wearing your green? If not…*pinch*!
We wear green maybe, and instead of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, we celebrate cabbage going on sale. Tonight we had cabbage soup, which we call borscht (it’s rather a version of borscht, I guess…but totally not traditional!), and tomorrow we’ll have eggrolls. If you can make it you’re invited!
Speaking of eggrolls, our family has been “hired” to make 1000 eggrolls for our friends’ fundraiser; they’re having a fundraiser to adopt a little girl named Annie from the Philippines! Sound like fun? Totally! It’s gonna be a blast!
P.S. for Pi day, we had cake! Ben bought us an ice cream cake from Mr. Thrifty’s because Mom thought there wouldn’t be enough pies for company tomorrow night, but there were ten berry pies and four pumpkin so she figured 14 pies was enough for breakfast today, dessert today, and dessert tomorrow!
It Never Ends
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Tonight at dinner we were discussing how since we’re a large family, people always stare at us and comment about how we’re such a large family, etc. Joe was like “Argg!! Everybody stares at us! I hate being looked at while I’m eating! I’m the third of twelve kids! And when I get married people will be like ‘oh, what a cute couple!’!!”
Everybody laughed, and somebody said “It never ends!”
We started listing all the times people would comment or stare.
1. He has eleven brothers and sisters; people stare and comment.
2. He goes to the store and people comment about how his “kids” (younger sisters and brothers) are cute or whatever.
3. When he gets married, people will say congratulations on his being newlywed.
4. When he has his first kid, people will say “oh what a cute baby” and things of that sort.
5. When he has more kids, people will comment on how well-behaved they are.
6. When he has a lot of kids of his own, people will comment on how he has so many kids.
7. When he takes his last baby to the store with just his wife and himself, people will say “Oh, is this your only child?”
8. When he takes five of his boys to the store people will say “Oh, you have only boys?” when he’s actually got five more girls at home!
Poor Joe.
Jay Funnies
Thursday, February 21st, 2008The other day Jay asked me for something to eat.
“Why? Don’t you have something to eat?” I asked.
“Yeah, but all they gave me was bread and leafs! And I hate leafs!” (Leafs = fresh spinach)
Today Dad was reading a Cabella’s magazine, and Jay and Rase were watching. They fell to discussing whether Joe got his buck before Eric got his doe, or whether Eric got his buck before Joe got his doe. Then Jay said, “Maybe Dad got a daddy doe!”
I laughed and explained, “Jay, does are girls, and bucks are boys.”
Dad looked up from his magazine and asked, “What are you?”
“I’m a buck!” Rase asserted.
“I’m a lion!” was from Jay.
In case you haven't noticed, my name is Anne, but in RL it's pronounced Annie. At this moment in time I happen to be 21 years old. Herein you will find: The rants, rambles, and otherwise uninteresting happenings in the life of...well, ME, you might say.
