adios.

in less than 24 hours we will be on an airplane, taking off to florida so we can then ship off to belize, cozumel, and costa maya.. i think. i am actually not really sure of all of the port names. neither sean or i have been on a cruise before. we were very fortunate that sean worked really hard this last year at work and was able to earn it. otherwise we would probably not be going on one!
 
i am sooo excited! i need a break. (but who doesn't?) i have felt like lately that i am at my breaking point. there have been a lot of things really bothering me. it is my own fault that they are. i really have a lot that i need to work on personally. you think at 24 years old that i might somewhat have myself figured out? even if it's just a smidgen? but no. i really think this vacation couldn't have come at a more perfect time. i just want to get away from here. and i would be okay with not coming back.

except i would miss my dog dearly. he will turn one while we are gone and i am sad i am going to miss it. i have been really attached to him lately. is that weird? not sure why. maybe because i can just talk to him. and he just listens. and sure he might lick his bum after... but no really, dogs are amazing. they can sense when something is up. moe will just jump on the bed and curl right up next to me. or lay his head on my lap. he knows how to make me feel better when sean is not around. he is my little buddy and i am so happy that i randomly picked him up at the springville walmart on a whim. best spontaneous thing i have ever done.

anyway, i can't wait to go on a ship. also, i really love airports. i know, call me crazy. but i just do. this video below? first of all makes me laugh like crazy. second of all? it explains exactly how i feel when i am on a plane. (the excited part, not the angry part)

                    

also? i just love this video. as funny as it is? i think we can all learn a lot from it. i find myself getting frustrated about the dumbest things. like my computer at work being slow. i get so mad. but then the older people at my work say "well, we used to have to handwrite all of the documents here..." then i feel ashamed for expecting more from the universe. also, with the things that have been bothering me lately? it helps me realize.. that it really doesn't matter. i have it a lot better than i realize. life is good. it really is amazing. see you all in a week or so!

i wanna love you tender.

so. i know that i said i would be posting more because we got the internet back.. and man i say that like the internet is only ours or something and someone took it away from us but seriously that is kind of how it felt. anyway, we had it back and then it stopped working. and so we really only had it for like 2 days. but tonight we got it back but to be perfectly honest the real reason we have not been blogging...

is because we  found this little gem below recently and we are trying to learn the dance moves to the coolest music video in the entire world. no really. you should watch it. especially if you are in a bad mood like i was before i watched it. and it just gets better and better the farther into it you get. oh and disregard the title of it saying "worst music video ever" i actually beg to differ and i would even go as far to say that it is the "best music video ever".

my favorite line is when she says "how can i be sure your no pretender?" except it sounds like she says "how can i be sure your not pretender?" and that line is way funnier so i just sing it like that anyway. and we really have been walking around the house dancing to this song. maybe in the next post we will have to show you.. in a remake music video. do you think i can get sean to play along with that? i got a new flip video camera thing from my work and i have been dying to try it out... maybe i'll set it up and not tell him it's recording...

anyway i can't help but think that they just had an open casting for this music video, on the exact same day that they wrote the song. they just threw it together and had one person start dancing and everyone just sorta joined in and started copying the person next to them. and the space thing? genius. i love when they fly away in the car. it's like grease all over again. i can't get over it.

anyway. remember how i posted about the bedding we were getting in the last post? well i changed my mind. i still ordered that one but i found one that i absolutely fell in love with. and i may just have to wait to show you what it looks like on my bed when i finally get it. okay i can't wait so i will at least show you what the quilt looks like...

on a more serious note, seans grammie passed away this saturday. i just met her for the first time earlier this year, but she was the sweetest person that i have ever met. she had such class and a kind spirit and always asked how moses was doing. we are going to miss her so much, but are so glad that she is no longer in pain. she has changed me for the better. i hope to be more like her someday. and to make me feel better i think i am going to go watch this music video again and then go to bed. good night ya'll!

blast from the past.

lately i have been trying to go back and fix a lot of the old posts that got ruined when i tried to change my blogger email profile thingy and accidentally ended up deleting it. it has been a long and grueling process. i have been avoiding it for months. but have decided to slowly try and fix  a couple a day. some pictures i have lost forever, since i am so incredibly smart and thought i could delete my pictures because they would be "safe on the blog". ha. boy did i learn a lesson. 

here is one of the posts that was undamaged because it was a video. not sure how that happened but i am so glad we didn't lose it! these were taken right after sean came out of a colonoscopy. we weren't married yet. i am sure some of you have seen it before, but it gave me a good laugh watching again, so i thought i would share. i may chose to do that on a few of the posts as i come across them! such as our wedding and honeymoon posts. all those pictures are gone.

i might just entirely re-do those posts. sorry if that bores ya! but they are important to me so i gotta get them back on this blog somehow since i will never be a scrapbooker! no offense if you scrapbook.. i just don't have the skill or dedication to that. and i failed scissor cutting in kindergarten. no really, i did. i don't think i've ever been more devastated about a grade. i mean come on! "i was 5... couldn't even talk yet." 5 points to whoever can name where that quote comes from. but seriously. i failed cutting. i believe that might have been the first memory that i recall in my life. not my favorite, that's for sure.

my favorite part is when he says, "this is in my body." or "they stuck a probe up my bum!" he kept telling me after his surgery that he won the lottery and the big championship basketball game. it was so funny. all he wanted was a burger and fries. i told him it would make him sick. we got it anyway. he got sick...

sean surprising chloe: the video

first off? i have never had to type the word surprise so many times.
and without fail everytime i type it suprise. so if i get it wrong?
whatever. i don't have spell check on this computer, but i do
know how to spell it... just so you know. just like i know when i am
typing your wrong. you're. if it were up to me we would spell it like
yor. or use a symbol or something. the shorter the better. (in some cases)
i am lazy. but this is nothing new.

moving on....

i hate hearing myself on camera. i hate the way my voice sounds.

especially when i didn't know i was being recorded... because

if i would have known i would have tried to sound sexier or something.

however, i am posting this video because sean wanted me to. and since he

 pretty much deserves anything that he wants from now on for his amazing

suprise.... here it is.. me at work, just finding out that i would

be spending our anniversary weekend with sean in Las Vegas!

{it was a blast by the way, i will try and post some pics later.. }

it's not the most exciting video..haha. but i promise i have never
been more excited. seriously, it was awesome.

and this video better work. it took me an hour and a half to upload it.

then? it didn't save. so i had to do it again. lame!!

and i am so behind on blogs..so sorry i haven't commented lately!

i didn't plan on spending the weekend in vegas ;)

oh and if you haven't entered the giveaway yet,

"you know why!"

i had a few people ask me for the beloved oreo ball's recipe! so here it is! i used melted milk chocolate chips as the drizzle on top. i don't care much for dark or semi-sweet. also, i didn't refrigerate them before hand like it suggests. i never believe in that crap even though i probably should. i am too impatient though! anyway, i thought they turned out fine, and ate way too many but it was totally worth it. i have seen recipes for it made with red velvet cake too. delicious as well!

also, when i tried to "drizzle" chocolate on top it just plopped on top of it can you tell? like that one up front? i tried to just spread the chocolate around but it didn't work out too well. actually it worked out just as it should, it looks messed up. i don't know why i thought that would make it look better. i almost tried washing it off but that seemed a little to extreme so i gave up. i was so frustrated and still kept doing it on 5 more thinking that magically it would work with out me changing up the technique. anyway, that is why some of the balls are "special", just so you know. haha. special balls.

i was so confused at first as to what almond bark was. i don't care for almonds but then when i went to the store and saw that it is pretty much just bricks of chocolate and way easier to used then a bag of chocolate chips or hershey bars, i went for it. very easy!

so lately i have been having a lot of fun messing around with blog layouts. i am not pro or anything, by any means. but i have forced myself how to figure out HTML which i am surprised that i even bothered messing around with. it has been kinda fun though and i figured out how to make a favicon, that is the little heart thing up in the URL instead of the blogger symbol. i asked my smart co-worker what that thing was even called and when he first told me i thought he said "flavicon" which i thought was so much cooler...like flava flave or something. i was sort of disappointed to find out it was not really called that. i even made one for my sisters photography website :) it was fun. if anyone is ever having layout issues, or wants to move something around on their blog but don't want to mess anything up, i would be happy to help! free of charge of course! keep in mind i only know a little so don't expect much! anyway, my email is chloerosethomas@hotmail.com.

anyway, things have been so crazy busy lately. as much as i love the holidays and all of the breaks, i am kind of looking forward to getting back on a normal schedule/routine. i guess i never really have a consistent one anyway. last night i went to bed at 4 a.m. 4 a.m? what is wrong with me? sean went to bed at 11.

i am learning that we only spend like 3 hours in our actual bed together. last night it was actually less because he got a phone call at 4 in the morning and had to leave to go help out a friend. so we spent like no time in the bed together. because when he got back he went and tried to sleep on the couch but couldn't.

i think when we got married i thought we would learn to compromise on things like this. perhaps i would go to bed earlier, and he would sleep in a little or something. well no, that hasn't happened. we are both not willing to budge. sean was up since 4 am and i fell asleep around 5 am and woke up at 12:30. he never went back to bed. even though he wanted to. he said he didn't want to not be able to sleep that night.

i don't think like that? i am like this.. "i am tired. i am taking a nap."

sean is like, "i am tired but will not be able to get a good night's rest if i take a nap. so i will do laundry instead."

sean says, "oh man, i only have 4 pairs of clean underwear left. guess i better do some laundry."

i am like, "LUCKY. don't rub it in. guess i should run to the store and get some more."

sean is like, "i am gaining weight. i need to go to the gym every other day. even at 6 am on a saturday morning."

i am like, "that is freaking against my religion and i will not do that. that is a disgrace to the sleep gods."

sean complains about being sore from the gym.

i laugh and say, "that is why i don't work out. because then your body is sore, and you have to keep up with it, and when you don't? it gets sore all over again when you start back up. i don't think my body would appreciate me treating it that way. why would it want to be in pain? my body likes to be comfortable on the couch. i think it makes me healthier. inactivity. it's better on the joints and bones."

sean is like, "we should plan dinner out for the week."

i am like, "great, i will call chili's and see if they deliver."

sean wants to put the christmas tree away.

i feel like that is kind of insensitive to the spirt of christmas. if crazy christmas lady can keep her stuff up til april, i think we can keep it up a little longer. besides, i don't want to put it up yet because there is a marathon on tv right now and i really don't want to miss it kill the christmas spirit just yet.

when sean has about a week or 2 before he is going to run out of a prescription, he gets it ordered and filled ahead of time.

i usually miss 3 or 4 days of whatever medication i am on because i run out and "don't have time to get to the store because i can't miss the biggest loser  am way too busy. being all productive and stuff."

guess if we end up prego it's my fault. but at the same time, it's not really, right? why can't guys use the ring or take birth control. WTH (who the hell... i think i just made up my own OMG slang) came up with that? probably a dude. i wanna smack him in his baby maker and show him what's up.

have you ever seen "What Happens in Vegas"? with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz? my favorite part is the end when her friend and his friend go to the ex's house and she punches him in the privates and he says, "WHY?" and she says, "YOU KNOW WHY." that is what i would like to do. to the MAN that invented birth control for women to take.

here is the clip. i love it so much.

anyway, i mentioned before that sean got up in the middle of the night to go help a friend. i started to feel guilty because i have turned my phone on silent at night ever since that incident with my cousin missing. remember that? what if someone really needed me? i act like i am a store or something that is only available from 8 am to midnight. well anyway, sean got up with no hesitation and went to help his buddy out. he drove up the canyon to help get his truck un-stuck. i wish i was more like him. that is why i have decided to help out anyone that needs yummy treat recipes, cool TV show suggestions, or help with their blog layouts :) it is my contribution to feel less bad about myself since i am married to freaking Gahndi.

p.s. i am sorry my posts are so long. i know i need to cut them down, because let's face it, who really has time to read the whole thing? sigh. i just feel incomplete if i don't say everything that i am trying to say. even if it makes no sense to anyone else. that is just the kind of person i am. remember this post? yeah, it is like that.

$25,000 cupcake car.

sean found the video and i don't think we could be happier.

i guess it's the small things in life that can make us the happiest.

although i could buy like $25,000 cupcakes for the price of this car.

and that would make me happy for a long time.

it's okay if you don't think it is funny.

i think it just one of those things..

if you could hear sean's laugh when he watches this,

you might think it's ten times funnier than it really is too :)

happy friday!!
