Merry Christmas\u2026<\/p>\n<p>-Speaking of Christmas, Anna Kate will not be sitting in Santa\u2019s lap this year!&#160; She is adamant about that, and we told her that she does not have to if she does not want to.&#160; I\u2019m sure she won\u2019t change her mind, so that\u2019s that.&#160; She requested for Noelle to tell him what she wants for her, so that\u2019s the way that will go down.<\/p>\n<p>-I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand and can\u2019t feel my fingers very well, so it\u2019s impossible for me to text on a cell phone.&#160; Mike sees me struggling to type on his phone and always takes over for me because writing one sentence takes me forever.&#160; The good news is he set up the iPad for me so that I can text.&#160; Since the screen is so much bigger than a cell phone, my fingers can find the keys a little bit more easily.&#160; SO\u2026 if you have an iPhone, and you have run all the updates, you can text me, I\u2019m not even kidding.&#160; Text me through your text messaging app to my email address.&#160; Yay!<\/p>\n<p>-Noelle got her first sticker change from green to yellow this week!&#160; Ah man!&#160; She was SO sorry, and it\u2019s just one of those things.&#160; One of her friends told her to color green over the yellow dot so that I wouldn\u2019t find out about it.&#160; I saw a little green spot in the middle of the yellow dot, but she changed her mind and made a good choice about that.&#160; I was really proud of her for being honest!<\/p>\n<p>-Mike loves fashion blogs (he even won a $250 Visa gift card on one of them last year)!&#160; He decided a couple of years ago that he wanted to be stylish and know what the trends are.&#160; I didn\u2019t know dressing in style is something you can learn, but he\u2019s proof that it is.&#160; I used to buy him all of his clothes but now I\u2019m too intimidated.&#160; It\u2019s awesome\u2026 one less thing for me to do!&#160; I even ask him fashion advice now because he totally knows what\u2019s cool.&#160; For instance, if skinny jeans can bunch up at the bottom a little if you wear flats or if they should just be straight with no extra bunching.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>-Speaking of fashion, the other day, Mike said, \u201cI like your skinny jeans!\u201d&#160; As a joke, trying to sound up on my fashions, I said, \u201cUm, they are totally not skinny jeans, they\u2019re like jeggings!\u201d&#160; Then he pulled up a <a href=\"http:\/\/teamcoco.com\/content\/conan-shows-off-jeggings\">bit Conan did on his show<\/a> where he wore jeggings, and it was SO funny!&#160; Mike and I always have fun like that together.&#160; He\u2019s my BFF\u2026 totally!<\/p>\n<p>-I heard a song on the way home from the doctor yesterday that said, \u201cWhat if your blessings come through rain drops, what if your healing comes through tears?\u201d&#160; I like that a lot.&#160; Wow, I just went from goofy to serious like that \u2013 bam!<\/p>\n<p>-My dad (Poppa) had a parrot named Salvador after John went to college.&#160; Then we found out people with TMJ\/joint problems can\u2019t be around birds, so he had to get rid of Salvador for me.&#160; Then, God brought him Jax\u2026 and the rest is history!<\/p>\n<p>-That girl Drew, on the X Factor, wow!&#160; I\u2019m impressed.&#160; She\u2019s 14, and I guarantee you right here and right now that she\u2019s going to be around for a while.&#160; Mark my words.&#160; With that being said, I\u2019m really behind on my X Factors, so she could already be kicked off at this point\u2026 but I\u2019m telling you, she\u2019s GREAT!<\/p>\n<p>-Oh this is random, Mike times himself solving a Rubik\u2019s Cube twice a week.&#160; He says it keeps his mind active.&#160; I\u2019ll just find him randomly working one in the closet while he\u2019s changing clothes or whatever.&#160; My sweet computer programmer hubby!&#160; He\u2019s such a dork in the coolest ways!&#160; And, he\u2019s definitely the smartest person I\u2019ve ever personally met, hands down.&#160; Friends call him all the time to ask him random things they are too lazy to look up.&#160; He always knows the answer to everything\u2026 I couldn\u2019t even trip him up when I asked him what a tine is.&#160; I really thought that would stump him, but oh no, he\u2019s the king of defining the word tine!<\/p>\n<p>-I LOVE the new song, Stereo Heart.&#160; I wrote down the lyrics in the car on the way to the doctor so that I could buy it when I got home.&#160; After I had lunch up at the school with Mike and the girls, I pulled out my little spiral notepad and said, \u201cOh Mike, I\u2019ve got to tell you something!\u201d&#160; (I was about to sing him the lyrics to the song and ask him if he\u2019d heard it)&#160; Before I started, he said, \u201cIt would be really funny if you wrote down a song on the way to the doctor and just started busting out singing it to me right now!\u201d&#160; I just stared and him and started laughing so hard I started crying.&#160; When he realized what was unfolding, he was like, \u201cOh, this is so good!&#160; Now you have to sing it to me\u2026\u201d but I couldn\u2019t breathe I was laughing so hard.&#160; He wouldn\u2019t leave until I sang it to him.&#160; I tried so hard, but I couldn\u2019t make out a tune I was laughing\/crying too hard.&#160; I was so embarrassed in a dorky funny way.&#160; He said, \u201cT.W.I.L.Y.!\u201d which we say when something the other one is doing reminds us of why we love them so much.&#160; It stands for, \u201cThat\u2019s why I love you!\u201d but it\u2019s not cute or romantic in any way because it reminds him of a man he knew in high school named \u201cTwily Carl Twiley,\u201d which makes it even that much more perfect for us.&#160; Okay, so then he came to my side of the car, and we said good bye and kissed.&#160; And then we wondered if we would get in trouble for PDA on school grounds, because we are dorky like that.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>-And I\u2019ll leave you with the lyrics to Stereo Heart\u2026 try to sing this the next time you are laughing out loud \u2013 it\u2019s hard: \u201cMy hearts a stereo, it beats for you so listen close.&#160; Make me your radio, turn me up when you feel low.&#160; This melody was meant for you, so sing along to my stereo!\u201d&#160; I have a feeling I am going to hate this song in a couple of weeks.&#160; Please don\u2019t wear it out pop radio stations (you ALWAYS do that to Maroon 5 songs).&#160; It\u2019s really cute and catchy\u2026 and sweet!<\/p>\n<p>Told you this was going to be random!&#160; Have a happy weekend!&#160;
