What up w/ me now!

Alright kiddies, I'm sure you've all been waiting for me to post another update on this thingy. And to humor the many fans, I shall give in. So here goes! I don't really have much to say right now...I can't remember what I posted last time. Oh well, that's life. Well, in recent news, I've purchased a shiny thing...well, not purchased. I'm in the process of purchasing. I've made two big payments and have one more left, totally happening next Thursday. BE excited. So if that's not clue enough, and if I haven't told you, obviously there's an amazing chicky-poo in the picture. I'm not sure if I spelled that right, but I just wanted to use that phrase. It's fun!

So sometime in the near ish future I will pop the magic question and girls everywhere will let out a collective sigh as the biggest stud in the land is going off the market. Unless of course you're Kristin, then you'd be excited. And I'm just the lucky guy that managed to get her somehow... :)

So today was a long day at work, but I made 190 dollars; always nice. Though it was the only day I worked this week, not that exciting. And next week is my last week or work. It was a fun job. It pays super well and it's a job! Haha, I didn't even have to apply for it. I applied for like a million jobs and this one just magically fell in my lap. Pretty sweet! (somebody must be living right)

In other news, Dad and I built and awesome wall thingy for a garden in the front of the house. There's totally pictures on facebook so everyone can be jealous. Though don't get any ideas that I'll build one for you at your casa. Well, actually, I probably would. It's kinda fun...when you get past all the frustration of it having to be perfect. I'm not much of a perfectionist, but I guess I can be if I NEED to be, but that's it!

So that's about it for now. Stay fresh.

Picnics!

Killer Bunnies...and the quest for the magic carrot

So I was going to the store the other day to pick up another controller for the Wii so that I could race people in MarioKart and I ran across the game Killer Bunnies. I had seen it before and it always looked pretty interesting, but now I actually had the moneys to buy it! So of course, I did. And it's much more exciting when you open the box and figure out how to play and read the funny cards and such. So basically I'm way excited to play it...though I need more people. Technically you can play it w/ two people, but that seems pretty lame. I need to find a bigger group. On another note, I need to cut my hair. It's getting incredibly long...well, for my current lifestyle anyhow. Haha, this used to be pretty short. But alas, I'm no longer the long haired boy I used to be....missions can do that to you. Oh, and I think more people should follow this blog! Sheri is the only one that is "following" it, so Props to her. Everyone else, get on board! Church at 1 is usually a really nice thing...when I wake up at like noon. But when you wake up at 10, it makes your morning rather boring. Not enough time to really do anything, which is probably why I'm usually sleeping then. Though I think I may start going to the singles ward now that there's more people. Perhaps next week. I need to pay my tithing this week and I don't want to get behind at all. I'm not a fan of paying two paychecks at once, I prefer to pay it every paycheck. So switching now would really throw off my groove. Probably next week. I'm kinda hungry, maybe I should go eat. That's a good use of time before church right? Right. Peace out peeps. Speaking of peeps, I need to do something w/ mine from Easter....

Sheri: This Blog's for You!

So the title is kinda like the old Budweiser slogan, but in blog form and I told Sheri that I would write on my blog tonight. So this is me writing on my blog tonight! In recent news, I Finally got my missionary plaque! You know that cool plaque that they hang up while you're on your mission and such and they give you when you get home? Yeah, after 3 and a half months, I got it! Oh, and I got my honorable release certificate and they spelled my name wrong. Kinda disappointing, but I should be getting another one soon enough. Then I can spend a small fortune getting it framed w/ my name tag thingy and such. Pretty exciting stuff. And taking Elder Bednars advice to heart, I stayed after institute much longer tonight than any other night talking w/ people in person. I think I went done him proud. :) Anyhow, I don't have to work tomorrow so I'm gonna be really super productive...or at least pretend to be. I def. need to clean out my car and a trash can that I'm gonna use as a laundry hamper. But that's really the end of the definite to do list. I MIGHT work on my quilt some more tomorrow. Who knows though. Sometimes I'm just really lazy. Haha. But we'll see. Maybe I'll be productive. One can dream anyhow.

Valentines Ducks.........from Erin?

So I think others will be as shocked as I am, that these ducks came from Erin. She's really good at buying stuff and such and doing stuff for Holidays, so that is no surprise. And it's really no surprise that I got rubber ducks for valentines day. But it's the finer details about the ducks that make it so shocking...to me anyhow. Then again, Erin is married now, so maybe it shouldn't surprise me.

For those of you w/ bad vision, it reads, "Who knows what will happen when bath time is done!"
But wait, it gets better!!!

Again, "Rub-A-Double Fun in the Tub!" ...I think most innocence has left the ducks by now. But the best has been saved for last! Now to find out why these are perhaps the kinkiest ducks in existance.

And for all those holding their breath hoping this would be truly innocent, this poem smashes ALL hope. And I quote:
What to think, with lover ducks in the tub?
Splashing and doing the rub-a-dub-dub
Laughing and Kissing, and having much fun
Who knows what could happen when bathtime is done!

So that's that. It's quite amazing really. And perhaps the most amusing thing I've seen in a LONG time. I thought it was so great that everyone should be able to enjoy it and join in the laughter! Happy Valentines Day! :)

Videos!

For any and all who are interested in seeing some videos from my mission, I've uploaded a few of my favorites on Youtube! It's probably easiest to search by my username...which I believe is littlerubberducky8. So that SHOULD allow you to see the super fun videos and comment on them and such. Oh, and any other videos I've posted...though I don't remember any. I'm not sure how many people actually read this anyhow, but I thought I'd give it a shout out on here anyhow. Have a great day!

Sunday Sunday Sunday Guitar Hero

So I officially suck at Guitar Hero. For all of you who were wondering about that. If you ever need to feel better about yourself, just play Guitar Hero w/ me and you'll feel like a king. That aside, life is pretty good. I went to the temple for the first time since I've been home and it was quite a grand experience. I should really go there more often. It's not like it's even all that far away. I mean, intstitute is a longer drive. And I've seen a lot of blessings in my life in the last few days, which probably have a lot to do w/ temple attendance. It's remarkable how if we do what we're told to do and promised blessings for doing so, that we actually get those blessings! What a novel concept. Guess that's what Faith is all about. Haha, and I've always thought faith was one of my stronger attributes, but apparently not. I have great Faith in a lot of things, but I guess I don't in others, I pick and choose. And that's not really faith, that's convenience. Just happens to be the question in CLA quiz in PMG are things that I have a lot of Faith in, so that test isn't a very good measure. Then again, that test did show me that Charity is what I lack the most. Which really sucks b/c Paul says we can do the most amazing things ever, but if we don't have charity, then we're nothing. So it's def. important and worth giving attention to, at some point. The scriptures say to not procrastinate the day of our repentance, but what about procrastinating the day of our charity? I'm sure that's a bad thing too, but it's the easy way to do things. Laziness is the mother of invention afterall. Though I don't think you can invent your salvation, so laziness probably doesn't serve us to well in that respect. But that's life I guess. Live and learn. Come what may, and Love it.
