background info: sometimes when i go shopping i can't refrain from
getting mervie a new toy. i come home, merv gets the new toy before the
milk is even in the fridge, merv plays /maims /destroys the {new} toy for
about 24 hours nonstop until the new toy is decrepit like the rest of
his victims.

| BOX DWELLER |
a few nights ago my new taillight cover arrived....in a box. oh
the joy! merv is a box dweller. this is not new knowledge for me, but
what i did come to realize is that a new box will last many moons
whereas the toys i buy for merv only live to see one moon. and merv loves loves
loves playing with /in /on /under boxes. the new toys are not completely
in vain because he loves to drag the remains in the box. here is a small taste of what goes on for hours when merv has a box at his disposal:
our house is a mess...let's just get that out there. mockingjay
and LOST season 6 are responsible for this. yes i am a grown women, yes
i am now a wife with responsibilities, yes i know i should be able to
demonstrate some will power, but.....mockingjay and LOST!
speaking of will power, i have been counting my calories the last
few days. the first day was a complete disaster! i was doing so good
despite the doughnuts someone brought to the office. i had all my meals
planned out to stay within my desired caloric intake for the day...then.....i
got so stressed and hungry that i made matt take me to kfc for
dinner...which didn't take much persuading, believe me. so we pull up to the ordering spot in the drive thru and (still trying to hold on to the tiniest bit of will power i have left) i ask the order-taking person what the healthiest thing on the menu is...matt and i find humor in the rest of the conversation:
order-taking person: i have NO idea
ash: really?
order-taking person: honestly, i have no idea
ash: ok. what about the coleslaw? that's just mushy vegetables right?
order-taking person: no, you should see the amount of grease that we put in that stuff
ash: all righty
long story short matt and i ordered mashed potato bowls.
last eventful thing of the week:
a few nights ago at about 5 am i shot out of bed and according to matt yelled "ah! seat belts" very loudly. i then preceded to clench matt's leg as i yelped in pain. this part i do remember. i had the worst charlie horse of my life. it felt like it was in my whole leg. poor matt didn't know what to do as i clenched his leg harder and harder and yelped louder and louder...he just kept saying "ash! ash! what's wrong? ash, what's wrong" in a very panicked tone. at the time i thought i was dying and matt probably thought so too, but we haven't been able to stop laughing about it now....who knows why seat belts were on my mind.
Ah Seat Belts! I'll be laughing at that for years too! It kind of has a nice ring to it... hee hee! So cute and fun! We love your stories keep 'em comin. As for the video, there was an error.... Well check back later, nothing like seeing the baby Merv play! Call me when you are done with Mockingjay. I finished sunday and am dying to talk to someone about it! love ya, Jen :>
