Commercial Debut

By
In case you didn't know, Justin and I are pretty much famous.  Okay, I'm kidding.  But we are going to be in a sushi commercial!  On Monday, after I went to quit my job, Justin called and asked if we could meet up at a new sushi place called Ninja Sushi for lunch.  We had a babysitter at home with Channing so it was a fun lunch date.  This sushi place just barely opened down the street from where we live in Idaho Falls.  Justin and I both really like sushi.  When we got to the sushi place we saw there was a camera guy and one other guy directing it.  Turns out they're from Local News 8.

After we ordered our food we sat down to wait for our rolls and teriyaki bowl to be made.  Then an employee came over and handed us utensils and said "try it!"  He was pointing to a plate of sushi behind us.  We thought, sure!  I don't turn down fresh free sushi.  Then we realized they were going to film us eating for the commercial.  Luckily I have a lot experience being in commercials...okay not really.  But my cousins and I did make a pretty great brownie commercial one time.

They told us to look happy and look like we were enjoying our food.  The sushi was really good, but I don't know if my face really showed it.  I needed a lesson from Guy Fieri on how to eat food and make a "wow" face at the same time.  I learned it's really hard to eat sushi daintily.  You pretty much have to put the whole piece in your mouth and pretend like you're mouth isn't stuffed with sushi.

After that we went back to our seats and the food we ordered was ready.  We secretly hoped the owners would give a coupon or gift card for making "yum!" faces into the camera...but they didn't.  :(  Oh well, we got a fun lunch date and a funny experience. 

We don't know when the commercial will be on and we don't have cable anyways.  But the director guy gave us his card to call and find out when it will be on.  We'll have to figure out where we can watch it!  I think it'll be hilarious.

    So glad you could use the experience of our brownie commercial for something. You were meant for stardom.

    Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller?  My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person.  And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy.  I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much.  For example I don't like to exercise when I:  Have to wake up earlier than normal.  Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time.     Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap.  That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in.  Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller.  I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it....

Pain in the Neck Child

By
I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck!  Did you follow that?  Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis.  Here's what google says about torticollis,  a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms.   Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right.  This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day.  She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time.  The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap.  And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time.  We're hopeful that w...

$$ for Jeeps

By Justin
Well I've done it again - bought another Jeep. But this time it was Melissa pushing me to do it! (what a good wife!) It's a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited (we previously had a Laredo by the same year.) The people were originally asking $4200 but we Hamiltoned them down to $2800 thanks to Melissa. I was talking & negotiating with the husband. And then the wife comes out appalled that the husband was coming down so much in price. And she snapped and said she was firm on $3000. So Melissa stepped up and said "I wouldn't give more than $2800."  The tension was high as the 2 women shot dagger-eyes at each other. Neither one backing down. Finally the husband agreed. And we drove it home. Then 2 days later I decided to list our Cherokee for sale around midnight, by noon the next day (today) I had it sold. It's been a busy day. So in 2012 alone, I've now owned 4 different vehicles. Melissa is the hospital today. She is just starting her preceptorship in labo...
