i am embarassed to admit it, but i always cry at the end of extreme makeover home edition too...
i loved the one a few weeks ago about the yazzie family, the navajo family with the amazing teenage son! what 15 yr old boy is that awesome!
I also enjoyed reading what is the what.
sadly, i can also agree with the farting comment as well...
mary! i wish you had a blog, so i could "stalk" you more.
i loved that particular extreme makeover too. the one this last sunday made me cry so hard, my shoulders shook.
and why must boys/men feel that once they are comfortable around you that a fart really close to you is okay? i don't care if they do it, i just prefer it within a safe distance from my schnaz.
Seriously, boys need to stop with the farting AND the burping. Ben never would have farted around me when we were dating and now it's some sort of game or something. Can't they just go away for a few minutes?
it is a game suzy. cuz pete will do it, look at me out of the corner of his eye, and then giggle annoyingly at my reaction to it. he never did it when we were dating. i think he thought it was okay once i said "i do."
oh ladies ladies, don't act like you've never farted in front of the hub just for the fun of it
liz, i am not saying i never fart around pete. but i certainly do not "share" my farts as a game or anything.
funny how this post really focused on one thing, and it happened to be the most crass topic. so hilarious.
haha I guess that's just me?
I've had balut too. In the philippines. I think i almost died.
and I'll have to do this soon. thanks for tagging me!
I can't even tell you how excited I am about you guys. I wasn't sure pete had it in him. And yes the double entendre was on purpose.
so i actually did this little tag game. i copied and pasted yours, so if some of the answers sound familiar...it's because i couldn't think of a better way to say it. oh - and i actually watched extreme home makeover last night for the first time... and even though i tried to hide it from kirk, i was definitely crying.
