The other day I noticed the pockets on Ben's pants were slightly untucked, so I went to push them back in and pulled out a five dollar bill. It was crisp like it'd be through the wash so it must have been stuffed in there the last time he wore those jeans. Someone has starting stealing money from his parents a little early on in life.
I've been suffering from a new (to me) band obsession for a little while. Stars. How did I not know about this band sooner? I feel like I've been deprived. Here are three of their songs so you don't feel that way too.
Heart
Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
Elevator Love Letter
Speaking of music, have you heard the new Killers song, Human? I swear he's saying dancer in that song, but I feel like it should be denser. But neither one actually makes any sense to me. Does it make sense to you?
I made a winter resolution to not gain any weight this season. I decided this at the end of September and so far, so good. I had a rough couple of weeks when I tried to win McDonald's Monopoly game and ate a super-sized big mac meal three times a week (I wish I were exaggerating), but I somehow (exercising after every McD's meal) made it through. I'm still pissed I didn't win though...
I'm going through a serious case of the I Wants. I want another baby, preferably without having to actually be pregnant. I want a house, preferably in this neighborhood. I want new hair. I want straight teeth. I want new winter clothes. I want new shoes. I want a big, huge, plasma tv. I want new couches. I want new Christmas decorations. I want everything.
Speaking of Christmas, I'm just so excited for it. John said this year he wants to do a family Christmas letter, only not just a letter, but a book. And not just any book, but a choose your own adventure book. He's got it all worked out. He pretty much just wants to make up crap, like, to see what happened after John had a nasty run in with Dog the Bounty Hunter, turn to page 20. Stuff like that. Watch your mailboxes, it's going to be exciting. (It's not going to happen.)
Ben has been really into calling us by our names lately. It's pretty funny to hear him call out Lizzy or John. He even called me Sunshine a couple times today. It was cute.
I think that's plenty for now. Sorry to bore ya! Wish I had something more exciting to blog about.

Not boring at all. I love the story about the 5 dollar bill. Your posts are way more interesting than anything I'm posting about. . .:-)
Liz I want all the things you do an more...I hate wanting things, it is the worst feeling to have. I try and justify my buying, like it isn't sanitary to wear the same 2 pairs of jeans everyday. I know I am going to break down real soon. I'm trying to be strong but it is just so hard!
You just barely found out about Stars? I've loved them for literally years (notice, that's plural). I'm sorry I didn't introduce you.
I want lots of things, too.
Please do a choose your own adventure book. I would read it repeatedly and treasure it forever. Seriously. Please?
Oh Sunshine, your posts are never boring.
Just think, with the 5 bucks you found in Ben's pockets you can go buy another Big Mac value meal.
i just love ya! at least your posting. I am in a serious rut with my (ugly) blog, I can't bring myself to post anything. you are the best writer, please write a christmas book!
Don't give up on the monopoly yet!!! I want to see you on one of those McD commercials!!!!
Do the Christmas book!!!!!
Liz -
The Killers song Human is saying dancer. Isn't it fantastic? The lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers. I will email the song to JW.
Thanks, BA. The song is great but not knowing what it meant was driving me crazy. Finally, the answer to life's toughest question.
Oh, and doesn't his dancing in that video kind of look like he's waiting in line to use the bathroom? Gotta love Brandon Flowers.
Liz you always make me laugh! I love how diligent you are in not gaining weight!
And maybe we're just related, but I want, too. I want shoes, pants, shirts, jewelry, purses, decor. But mostly, I want a Christmas edition choose-your-own-adventure book with three fun characters.
Wonder where I could get one? For Christmas?
Liz you never cease to make me laugh. This post isn't boring. Keep em coming!
Never heard of Stars. I will give them a listen. I do like that killer's song. I like that you up with the current stuff.
I HATE that you can eat freakin big macs and not get fat. You are so lucky!! I had burger king last week and I'm pretty sure I gained 5 lbs. Damn metabolism!
I hate the want thing. It NEVER ends. Evil marketing geniuses.
Um, I am missing $5. I think Ben stole it. Please return it. And if you find any other cash in his closet, it's mine too.
My mother-in-law said that Jeremey was stealing his friends random toys as soon as he had pockets to put them in. She found a box of stolen goods under his bed. The best part was that there was nothing really worth stealing anyway. Too funny.
You'll never bore me. Ben must be a cute little guy. No money stealing yet over here, but Luke found some condoms the other day and thought it was candy. LOL (He climbed up a chair to reach them).
Love and hugs, Sanna
I've totally been in the want phase as well, and if I don't have a choose your adventure book in the mail I'm going to be so disappointed. That is such a rad idea!
I freaking love you! You crack me up. Um...I always have the "I wants", I hate you for being so flipping skinny, Ben calling you Sunshine is the cutest thing ever, I am pretty sure it is saying Dancer.
Sorry I didn't get to see you this last weekend. Next time...for sure!
Lizzy--no pics and I still want to go back and read AGAIN! How are you so funny? Can't wait to read the make your own adventure book staring Sunshine . . .
Lizzy, I've got an award to pick up for you on my blog :)
