Funny MEBL conversation for the day:

Miriam: Mon!
Erin: Yes Mon?
Miriam: You have to look at my website.
Erin: You have a website?
Miriam: No. You know! The school's!
Erin: OK. Why? What'd you do?
Miriam: I made it Jesus'.
Erin: Jesuses?
Miriam: Yes, Jesus'.
Erin: You made it Jesuses?? Jesuses?
Miriam: Yes.
Erin: Like plural Jesus?
Miriam: What?
Erin: Plural Jesus?
Miriam: No! Jesus'. Like Jesus owns.
Erin: Oh! Like the "property of Jesus".
Miriam: Yes!
Erin: Oh. Weird. I'll go check that out.
Miriam: Thanks Mon!

Erin: (in response to life advice from Miriam) But...

Miriam: Everything you say is "but". It's like you've built a wall of "buts" around you.

(Erin thinks hard for something witty to say.)

Erin: Sounds pretty stinky.

Miriam: Don't be cheeky!

.... Time passes .....

Erin: I know, I know. I'm behind a butt-wall. But the but's are true. I'm not full of shit.

Miriam: On the contrary! Your butt-wall is crack-full of shit!

Erin (stumbling over her words): So we went in to the .. in .. convenience store.

Miriam: They have those! Inconvenience stores. They're on the top of mountains and across rivers with no bridges.

Join in! 

Erin: I'm going low-carb.
Miriam: Low carb?? You just ordered "Bread Balls!!"

Sunday we spent a good ten minutes discussing the short movie we could make that would be all about poking Jodie Foster in the nose.

Amazon.com: Books: American College of Physicians Complete Home Medical Guide (with Interactive Human Anatomy CD-ROM)

I've got to say - one of our better purchases was this book. Me being a hypochrondriac and Miriam always seeming to be ill...we're constantly arguing over who gets to sit and read it. The only problem is the pictures...

Every once in a while I, Erin, go through what I call a "flushing" period. This happens every few months or so and I'm just thirsty for water all the time.

Miriam is currently in a "flushing." This is a quote from her conversation with me:

"I drink and drink and drink and I'm still parched! Its like a curse. I might be a Pirate of the Carribean!"

"OW! Don't make me furrow!"

- Miriam Brady
(after being elbowed in the head as Erin tried to reach back and hold the passenger seat while backing out of a parking space)

Interaction between Miriam and Erin's Parents:

(Barbara is wearing a purple shirt with pictures of flourescent cats all over the front of it. She puts on a light-weight jacket which is semi-transparent.)

Miriam (to Barbara): I can see your kitties.
John (to Miriam): Boy I'm sure glad I heard what you said!

(Disturbed laughter ensues.)

Miriam: Blooop blooop ... blooop bloooop ... bloooooop blooop

Erin: Yes, Dr. Spock, what is it?

Miriam: That's not logical!

Miriam has weird relationships with drive-thru speakers. I think she thinks the funny little people live in the funny little boxes and therefore...she has no need to "act normal" in front of them (being that they are funny little people that live in little boxes at the drive-thru).

Last night Miriam and I went to the McDonald's drive-thru to get some snacks. Miriam ordered: 1) Large Diet Coke, 2) Small Fries, 3) Ice Cream Cone, 4) Dasani water. When the drive-thru voice asked her, "Is that all for you?" Miriam was perplexed. She began to explain that, no, in fact, the food was not ALL for her - that there were two people that were going to be sharing the food... when Erin leaned over and said YES (before the words actually came out of Miriam's mouth). When we were paying the female order taker (the mysterious "voice" within the drive thru speaker) came by the pay window to take a peek at who the crazy woman was. :)

Then we laughed...and laughed...and laughed

Anyone ever realize that Shania Twain kinda sounds like a muppet?

Shania Twain Fanclub :: Welcome

We're finalists in the "Make Your Own Shania Video! Contest"!!!! Both "Man, I Feel Like a Puppet" and "What A Way To Wanna Be!" (by Miriam's aunt and grandmother) are among the top 4 to vote for. There's a video starring two kids that could topple both of us though! (Personally I think they might not have had a lot of entries.)

Quote of the day:

"Why does Love come out of your nose?" - Erin

This morning I woke up and was so disoriented when I went in the bathroom and looked in the mirror that I asked myself, "Why am I wearing my shirt backwards?"

FYI - Avoid using flavored coffee creamer as a replacement for milk in certain recipes.

We've had Diet Coke for quite some time. No worries.

For those on the lookout (I can count you on one finger and I don't think you know this Blog exists) the puppet Shania movie is done! Not the best I can do but the best I can do with corrupt ROM and Windows Movie Maker.

There are still no Diet Cokes at Sav-On! What is the world coming to? 7-11 had only one 12 pack! IS this strike related?

Miriam loves Diet Coke! Last night we travelled to the 24 hour Sav-Ons to get beverages because it was hot and we were thirsty. Normally we'd go to Ralph's but because of the grocery store strikes we headed to the drug store. When we got there - THERE WAS NO DIET COKE!! No six packs...no twelve packs! Miriam was in a panic! Her fall back plan was Diet Pepsi (which she hates but which is better than the generic "Diet Max"). Yet - THERE WAS NO DIET PEPSI!! What was going on? She asked the manager to check in the back and he did ... no diet sodas in the back either! He suggested that they might get some on Friday or next week. It was a Tuesday night - that's a long time to wait for an addict! We left with a rain check and lots of water.
