The Funny Wiig...

Okay people, so I've always been a fan of Saturday Night Live, or SNL to all those junkies, but I've never been religious about watching it. But I have recently stumbled upon some seriously funny SNL clips. This new lady, well I can't really say how new she is, but she is hilarious. Her name is Kristin Wiig (pronounced WIG). She has made some funny clips. My favorite one is the Surprise Party.

Another thing that is so great about her, is that she can stay in character. She doesn't laugh or even crack a smile. Brilliant is what I say. But watching these clips has been a really good time. I highly recommend watching these, so please watch. You won't regret it...Promise!

The Grinch, again?

*Kids Today, so desensitized by movies and television...
*All right, you're a reindeer. Here's your motivation: Your name is Rudolph, you're a freak with a red nose, and no one likes you. Then, one day, Santa picks you and you save Christmas. No, forget that part. We'll improvise... just keep it kind of loosey-goosey. You HATE Christmas! You're gonna steal it. Saving Christmas is a lousy ending, way too commercial. ACTION! (The dog, Max, knocks off the red nose)
*BRILLIANT! You reject your own nose because it represents the glitter of commercialism. Why didn't I think of that? Cut, print, check the gate, moving on....

If you don't know what that is from, then you don't even know me at all, or my favorite Christmas Movie. My #1 pick of all Christmas movies is DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS, the Jim Carey version, thank you.


Last year my roommate and very dear friend Lauren watched the Grinch a million times, and during this time we would talk like the Grinch, and quote it ALL THE TIME! We even went as far as writing on each other's Facebook walls of all the quotes we know. Great right? But the best thing is that my dad totally loved one of the lines. It is the first one. And it does have some truth to it. Also, my dad hates the glitter of commercialism during Christmas time, so I'm sure that he LOVES that line too. But I watched the Grinch last night, and it just makes me remember WHY I WATCH IT EVERY YEAR!!!!! It is amazing. It has quotable lines, great costumes, full of color, and the make up is amazing.


So please, if you haven't watched the Grinch for a long time, or haven't ever seen it, I highly recommend it. You won't be let down. Merry Christmas!!!

So Long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehen, Good-Bye...

To Grandma Glendenning aka Ghetto G...
I love You, and I'm going to miss you. I never thought that you would be the first to go, but please watch over us, and like Courtney said, we'll take care of Grandpa. I'll remember all the good times we've had. KU, you and Grandpa coming out to stay with us, and letting us tease you about your smoking cigs. You were a great Grandmother and Mother. And we will miss you dearly.
I love you and I will miss you. God be with you till we meet again.



(These lyrics are touching. Please read them)

I saw Mary, She was walkin' on the water.
Smiling at me.
Humming her river song.
And i tried waving,
But she was walking away.
Said that she'd been waiting on me,
All day long.

I tried to call her.
And said, Please come back.
Because i didn't mean.
To make you sad.
She said,
Well don't you worry,
Cause i'll see you again.
But i hear my mother call,
And i have to go.

(These lyrics are by the artist Joe Purdy. I heard the song in a movie during a funeral scene and an overwhelming feeling just came over me. It was touching. I wish I could describe it better. But the song is captivating, and the lyrics are beautiful. The song isn't very long, but the feel of the song is amazing. Download it.)

The month of Candy, Costumes and Fun is OVER...boo.

Well Halloween is gone, and what a great Halloween it was. We had lots of fun, again. We were Rockstars, as you can see from my post below. They turned out wonderfully, except for mine. I really wanted to be Michael Jackson, but it didn't go over so well. I had all my costume stuff together, and I was trying on my outfit, and it was TERRIBLE. And I am not just saying that either. I was so upset, so I had to hurry and think of another costume. Then Cami mentioned Tina Turner. She is quite the Rockstar, with that hair and her infamous legs, how could you go wrong? Well let me tell you, IT DID. My costumes was bad. I thought that I could make it work, but I don't have the long, lean legs, and well to be honest, I don't have black hair, or dark skin. So I was a short, white, blonde Tina Turner. Quite the opposite of the original idea right?
Well we went to a concert, and Katelin, Jamie and Cami looked great, I looked like a fish out of water, but the concert was killer. It was Girl Talk. He is amazing. He is a DJ and he mixes classical rock with modern hip hop. It is incredible. He did a fantastic job. Afterwards, we took a picture with him, and we got to tell him how great he did. He also does bug eyes in photos like you mom, and Matt too. haha. Its cool, now you know you aren't the only one who does it...hahahahaha Here's a few photos from Girl Talk, which I might add was the day BEFORe Halloween, so it was a festive weekend to say the least...

Then on actual Halloween night, we went to a friends house party. It was really fun. It was fun because it was not "SWEET BRO" central. It was friends who we see on a regular basis, and those are always the best. I was NOT Tina Turner on actual Halloween. While at the concert however, everyone thought I was Debbie Harry aka Blondie. So I had everything I needed to be blondie, I just needed a few socks and some red tape to wrap around my dress. I copied her Greatest Hits album cover. But Jamie, Katelin and Cami were still Ozzy, Bret Michaels, and Slash. We had a good night, and an overall GREAT Halloween...







I LOVE HALLOWEEN. I THINK IT SHOULD BE ONCE A MONTH, THAT COULD BE A GOOD TIME...

Another Halloween, another great time, another great Costume...

Halloween is here. Wahoo. I love love love Halloween. I am very excited, because we have good costumes, AGAIN. Last year, we were "victorian" vampires, but this year we are going to be Rockers from the late 70s, early 80s. We've got Slash, Brett Michaels, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael Jackson, and Axl Rose or possibly Steven Tyler. It is still up in the air.
Cami is SLASH...

Katelin is BRETT MICHAELS...

Jamie is OZZY OSBOURNE...

Missy (ME) is MICHAEL JACKSON...

And Kelsey is AXL ROSE OR STEVEN TYLER...



Like I said earlier, Another Halloween, another great time, another great costume...

Boring Life...

My life has been so dull recently. I wish that I had something really incredible to tell, but alas, nothing. I have just been going to school and things. I had a job interview with Square Magazine and guess what I GOT IT. I will be talking with the editor in chief next Tuesday to discuss my schedule. It is going to be an internship, which is great. So that way I'll be doing one, and have the credit for it, so in case I don't get the internship for W Magazine. But I am thinking positively and I will get it, I will get it. But other than that, school is consuming my life and I have been going to the 24 Hour Fitness everyday, trying to keep in shape. Or get in shape. But my life is BORING. No pictures. Sorry.

Bye, Bye Jann...

I have good news and bad news...

Good News: I have my own room!!! Wahoo. I never thought the day would come. I have so much space, and it is the greatest thing I have had happen to me in a long time.

Bad News: Jann has officially left the Beach House. She left this morning at 9 am. It was sad, no tears were shed, but she is gone. Boo. Oh if you don't know, Jann is leaving on her mission. She is going home for 4 weeks, then coming back up here right before she goes into the MTC. She reports Oct. 22. She is going to South Carolina (Cakalacky). She'll be a really good missionary. She is great, and the beach house will miss her.

The night before her departure, so last night we had a little get together for her last night at our house. We had quite the turn out. We had a BBQ, bought some hot dogs (YUCK) and some chips, salsa, cookies and candy. Great right? Of course it is, except when you are trying to NOT eat crap. Oh well. But there were some really good people that showed up. Lots of Jann's friends who she hasn't seen in a while, and I'm sure she is glad that she got to see some of these people before she departed.

THE BEACH HOUSE WILL MISS YOU JANN....
(Thanks for giving me my own room too...ha)

Cami is getting everything ready, before the party starts...
