Dinner Quotes

WOW! Dinner never will get boring....

Just some quotes from our latest family meal.

Jeff: Mrs. Wishart! Do you think I would download porn on your computer!?!
Mom: umm...well....
Jeff: I'm not that stupid!
Mom: umm...well...


Mom: Jeff, have you talked to your mother recently?
Jeff: Yes, talked to her yesterday
Mom: oh good. So she knows I haven't killed you yet. (she is stone cold serious)
Jeff: oh haha (nervous giggle)

With this, Jeff stands up, opens the fridge, and proceeds to have one of his sneezing attacks. Judy steals my wine and chugs it. Our fridge now needs cleaning and our food is contaminated.

Jeff Stuns The Dinner Table

It was bound to happen folks. At some point, Jeff was going to mess up. He and Judy have had their misunderstandings in the past, and now he is pretty afraid of her. He just tries so hard! After only two days living here, the first two major incidents happen. Both times, all I could think of was Drew and Justin laughing.

First, Jeff and I were working on folding his laundry. He didn't feel well so naturally folding his jeans was just too tiring for him (even though I am the one with strep throat). He got pretty snippy with me over my folding skills, so I walked out of the laundry room, leaving him to his own technique. Since he felt bad, he tried to help me carry up some boxes to the attic, even though I told him I was fine. He kept pulling the boxes out of my hand, till he banged into the wall, knocking over my mom's picture. When he went to pick it up, he "accidentally" kicked it down the stairs, breaking the glass. I took the blame as my mom would have eaten him for dinner.

As we sat down to eat a nice home-cooked meal, Jeff was too tired to come to the dinner table. It almost would have been better if he stayed in his room, for as he showed up 20 minutes late, my mom asked him "what he wanted to do in his first weekend in Jersey". I told my mom we might go to the beach, check out the new wine bar overlooking the city, or actually go into the city (NYC that is). I really want to play in Central Park a little or check out a play before bar review begins. What did Jeff respond with? "I think I'm gonna go to Atlantic City alone. I'm really competitive".

hmm...if there was a way to insert crickets into this blog it would be great.....

Here were the responses of my family:

Judy - menacing glances at Jeff

Bill - disapproving silence and stare down

Brother - WTF giggle and simultaneous head shake

Me - red embarrassment.

It was only a matter of time.

***UPDATE: As Jeff is in AC right now, my mom cornered me and asked me who really broke the picture. Apparently, Jeff did the same thing earlier in the day when he was trying to help her, only the picture didn't break that time. As Reba would say, "you Mo-Ron".***

Graduation

Well, folks. We finally did it! We are graduates of the Valparaiso University School of Law! It was a fun filled weekend, full of madness. Kicked off by the Champagne Reception, events included the actual graduation ceremony, a fantastic BBQ at Kelly's house, and a party at DISH. Check out our graduation gear - I know we look like we stepped out of Hogwarts!

For the first time, my family and Jeff's family met each other. With the aid of liquid lubricants, all became great friends.  Highlights included: my dad calling Jeff's aunt a "pisser", drunk JP giving a toast to all those lucky enough to be in an 8 mile radius, and many other stories which are not internet appropriate. Sorry! 

 Jeff's family surprised us with a cake - I heard it was most excellent! Unfortunately, I shy away from chocolate but from the looks of it, everyone else took over and killed that bad boy. It must have been fantastic!

It was very sad to graduate, even though we had been looking forward to it for months. I will not miss Valpa-rain-hail-sleet-or-snow but I will most definitely miss the people. I made such excellent friends and now we are all spread across the country. I hope we all are able to visit each other and keep in touch. Everyone should move to Jersey!

Blogging 101

Months ago, I told Michelle that Brianna and I were going to start our own blog, "Single Girls who only hang out with Mormon Wives".

Well, now that we are done with school and months have passed, I have decided to actually follow through with my statement, if only to provide a BarBri outlet. (lucky Chandlers are not taking the bar!) However, instead of being Laura and Brianna's adventures, it has morphed into randomness...mostly about Jeff moving to NJ. After much urging from the Valpo Law Class of '09 who are interested in his transition to the Garden State, I promise to try and keep this semi-updated.

DISCLAIMER: my version of stories often differ from Jeff's stories. Example: my verison of breakfast today would be "I made pancakes for myself, Jeff ate them and didn't clean the kitchen up. I went to McDonalds instead". Jeff's version would be "Laura was so kind to make me pancakes and clean up - damn I love NJ housewives".
