Dumpster Diving Divas

That's what we are. Seriously, should have had a camera to capture Jess trying to get herself out of the nearly empty dumpster. We were looking for boxes and packing material of course but found some other goodies as well. Okay so just some broken up bead board, but I am determined to find something brilliant to do with it. Any suggestion?

We're definitely our mother's daughters.

Otherwise, just helped Jess with the house and the kids a little. And fell asleep watching the hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (love it). And watched conference. Great stuff. Learned that I better get in the ball on my Book of Mormon reading. I've been reading but it's slow going sometimes. (It takes me about a year to get through the Isaiah chapters okay?) So I need to step it up.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Wasn't Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (book) written by the same guy that co-wrote Red Dwarf?

Sarita said...

That I do not know, and would look up if it werent for the 2 hour lunch I just had. :)

What's Red Dwarf?

christina said...

a red dwarf is a star. More specifically, a small cool star approximately 100 times the mass of Jupiter.

Mikie said...

Oh never mind.

(Red Dwarf is both a novel and a British comedy that can be seen on PBS-- I don't know which existed first).

I just figured out why I had linked Red Dwarf with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: On the back of the paperback copy of Red Dwarf it says "Not since 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' has there been such a delightful excursion into the wackiest regions of the unknown universe".

So the movie is good, I take it? ;)

Mikie said...

(I should have known Nina would know what a red dwarf is with her endless fountain of knowlege)

christina said...

Haha, I knew it was a show, i just wanted to frustrate you. I haven't seen it, but I am getting it this week from a guy at my office.

Mikie said...

Hehe, you responded while I was writing that. The "oh never mind" bit was me realizing how retarded I am for thinking they were written by the same author (in my defense, both authors have a 'doug' in their name ;))

christina said...

yea, multiple Dougs always confuse me, too.

Mikie said...

You probably just googled it to find out it was a tv show. "getting it from a guy at the office", right. Turns out google is the never-ending fountain of knowlege.

christina said...

So what if i did. Google isn't against the rules.

I am getting Hitchikers from a guy at the office, smartypants.

I dub today Miscommunication Day. Mark you calendar.

Sarita said...

So I'm weighing in a little late...
but was just going to call you smarty pants for knowing everything...my dear sweet nina. Way to steal my thunder.

Mikie said...

I thought maybe we were on different pages, turns out it was different books. Doh.

And you're right. What good is google if we can't use it to expand our knowlege of the trivial. So the distance of the earth to the sun is 108 sun diameters, huh? Or IS it trivial?...

Sarita said...

The info you can retrieve from google is amazing. You can even find seemingly hidden blogs with the right information and way too much time on your hands.

Who's Mark?

christina said...

i get it now. I was like "who the HECK is mark?"

Mikie said...

Or is it Marc?

Well my name is with a K, so I was thinking my band's name could be with a C. That way it's kind of that psychedelic, you know, trip thing.

Always play with their minds.

I can't even find my own blog on google. How bad do I suck at google?

christina said...

thats pretty bad. I can find your blogs on google.

christina said...

You guys have to check out my NEW and IMPROVED (sort of) blog. I've been brushing up on my html skills. Basically, i suck.

Mikie said...

Granted I don't have a lot of motivation for looking for my own blog. Unless I got amnesia, but then would I know I had a blog? (how many of my blogs can you find on google?)

I like the new look. Noticed this morning... new banner and everything. I'm so lazy my blog doesn't really even have a layout. Or links or anything.

Sarita said...

What? You have a blog?

Nina you need not mock the google skills of others simply because your own are superb.

Sup-peeerb.

christina said...

i've been changing crap on it all day. Lots of little changes that no one but me will ever even notice, but they add to the overall aesthetics.

christina said...

i know, i am mean. Sarah, you are a mighty good googler yourself. I aspire to your googlability.

Mikie said...

Say it again Lucas.

Mikie said...

(i meant Keep it up Lucas)

christina said...

superrrb.

christina said...

misquoting. Tisk tisk.

Sarita said...

I know...and we've got the king of the quoters here. I'm shocked Mike.

Mikie said...

I know, I'm ashamed. I guess I need a refresher course in Empire Records.

Mikie said...

(5 bonus points if you know what movie "need a refresher course" is from)

(shameless gratuitous comment to up the chomment count)

christina said...

fletch.

Sarita said...

Dangit all Nina you're too quick.

But tell me this...did you have to google it?

christina said...

i plead the fifth.

christina said...

but even if i did, it only took me about 10 seconds to figure out. I should get credit for my incredible look-upping skills.

Mikie said...

bwahahaha. Too bad. I made no stipulation about not being able to google in order to get points, so I guess you get 5 points Nina.

I'd make a lousy teacher.

Mikie said...

Very quotable movie, in any case. I recommend it.

christina said...

how about this one...
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."

Sarita said...

Oh don't get him started nina.

Sarita said...

and how sad is it that I automatically relate the 5 points to winning the house cup at hogwarts?

christina said...

i'm waaaiting.

Sarita said...

hmmm...does it have John Cusack?

christina said...

not telllling.

Sarita said...

well i give up then

im better off dead

and a nerd

christina said...

My little brother got his arm stuck in the microwave. So my mom had to take him to the hospital. My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she freaked out. She hijacked a busload of penguins. So it's sort of a family crisis. Bye!

Mikie said...

Gee, I'm real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky...

I leave my desk for 2 seconds and you start talking. Better off Dead. No google.

Wait, this is death....

Classic 80s tho ;)

Mikie said...

Everybody wants some.

Sarita said...

oh nina...brian mcknights on the radio.

takes me back

to your days of hiphop

One....

christina said...

For my birthday, i want a claymation hamburger.

christina said...

and a cornballer.

Sarita said...

You make my dreams come true...

Sarita said...

two...

Sarita said...

just wanna be with you...

Mikie said...

So Tony... what's the deal with your clothes?

christina said...

so i married an axe murderer.

christina said...

she stole my heart and my cat.

Sarita said...

nadia...let us dance like children of the night

Sarita said...

eeeveeel like the fru-eets of the deveeel

christina said...

"It's some kind of hyroglyphic that says, 'Sacrifice the full moon on the Prince of Plenty'... That doesn't sound right. Oh, how silly of me! It's eye before eats except after teeth. I got it reversed, it's 'Sacrifice the Prince of Plenty on the full moon.'"

Mikie said...

I give, I give (I'm Charlie's father...)

Sarita said...

Getting lucky...great nina. mike i will be oh so impressed if you know that one.

Mikie said...

Glad I didn't know that one.

Mikie said...

If I knew that one I'd have to kick my own... butt.

Sarita said...

Mike I'm hurt. Christina and I have that one memorized.

That's actually a little sad.

christina said...

love love love The Chipmunk Adventure. GREAT soundtrack.

Sarita said...

you can say that again nina!

Mikie said...

Oh my. What kind of childhood did I have without chipmunk movies?

Sarita said...

A very sad one. Very sad indeed.

Mikie said...

Perhaps I did... 87, what was I watching in 87...

I don't think a nun would say that about a hill.

Sarita said...

what? that it's alive?

Mikie said...

you know, I'm not really sure.

Mikie said...

What if he sings "the hills are vital, intoning the descant?"

Sarita said...

Then he would need Ewan Mcgregor's help.

Badly.

christina said...

great work-out movie.

Mikie said...

'splain how.

Sarita said...

well, the tempo is upbeat...and when you move at upbeat tempos, your heartrate elevates and that burns fat and junk.

christina said...

i don't know. I watched it while i was working out, like, the one time i worked out in the past year. Lots of music, with a good beat, i guess. But it's a story too, keeps you enthralled, makes the time go by faster.

christina said...

yea, sarahs was better.

Mikie said...

What movie are we talking about?

christina said...

i was off an hour ago.

christina said...

i need to GO HOME.

Sarita said...

I'm talking about Mystery Sciance Theatre 3000 the Movie...

I don't know about you two...

christina said...

"i'm going to curl up in his sock drawer and sleep for days."

Mikie said...

Hahaha, nice.

Nina-- an hour ago? What gives?

Sarita said...

these pages...they seem to be made out of some sort of metal....

....no sir, that's paper....

Sarita said...

And who knew you could spell sciance with an "a"?

christina said...

i don't know. People walk in my office and ask what i am doing here so late. And i am like, ...uhhh, i just never went home...

I have some sort of major malfunction. But i do have about a days worth of overtime on my next check.

Sarita said...

yeah for overtime!

Mikie said...

heh. one of the few perks of being paid hourly.

Mikie said...

so is this overtime-age a normal occurance?

christina said...

peace.

Sarita said...

love

Mikie said...

lol. I just heard a coworker in a cubicle nearby say "gargantuan cranium" in a mock-scottish accent. Yay for movie quotes. Man I'm sad.

Sarita said...

It's like an orange on a toothpick!

Mikie said...

I'm not kiddin' that boy's heed's like sputnik. Spherical but quite pointy in parts!

Sarita said...

hehe

Mikie said...

Maybe she's gone... but here's a good quote for future reference:

"You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go."

Another 80's flick for ya ;)

Sarita said...

Save Ferris!

Mikie said...

yesssss....

7 more minutes. Chommenting has made the afternoon fly by once again..

Sarita said...

Ummm, yeah. I shoulda left about 25 minutes ago.

Mikie said...

Hahaha! What are YOU still doing here?

christina said...

you guys are crazy. staying at work late chommenting. *scoff*

Mikie said...

Gah, you're right. I'm now 4 minutes past when I need to go (not that I'll hit overtime, wah...)

"Fine, go! You've stayed your hour..."

Sarita said...

Okay okay....I'm going already.

Mikie said...

9 minutes and counting. I swear I'm cleaning up and shutting down.

Mikie said...

p.s. we broke 100 today. woot.
