AHEM!

*Please read Rhonda's post, below mine, first. Thank You!*

Dearest Little Wildabeast,
I would like you to know that even though my poetic skills are limited, I am still able to create short poems. Everyone can't be a master poem maker like yourself. Just to prove to you my poem making skills I created a poem on the way to Erik and Stacy's house tonight just for you, about you. Here it is:

Rhonda is so sweet.
She's like a little treat.
She is so fine,
and she's all mine.
She is oh so neat!

I learned how to write this kind of a poem in sixth grade. I think it's called a Limerick, am I right master poem writer? I hope that you can enjoy my limited poem writing skills wildabeast because if you did not I would be so sad!

Lots of Love,
Your Waterbuffalo

And for our reading audience's pleasure here is a poem that Rhonda wrote to me during Family Home Evening once:

As the dreary days go by,
I sometimes give a sigh
of unfound love.
The nights and days all fade away
Into dreams of forgotten pleasure.
My love for you that's strong
and true is more than I can measure.
Thine love is like a rose!

Don't we have a grand time in Home Evening? Master poem writer could you tell me what kind of a poem this is? Oh, one more! This is the poem that Rhonda made up spur of the moment when she was sick (the one about ice):

Linda is so nice.
She brings me lots of ice.
When I am sick in bed,
With a hurting stomach and head.

This is proof that the master poem writer does write short poems, but maybe only when she's sick!

My amazin' Poem!! YAY!

Reason 2:

I wrote this mostly amazing poem (with 2 lines from Anna). It happened whilst I was supposed to be...doing my homework. Anyway, I think it's pretty funny, so here goes!

Homework

Why do teachers give homework everyday?

It really makes me want to say,

"I already have a bajillian stuffs to do,

like watch clouds go by and hear cows moo!"

Why must the homework never end?

It's like my stalker, not my friend!

Oh the horrible woes of homework!

My teachers tell me not to shirk,

but if I do all my work, I do nothing else,

which ends up being dangerous to my health!

I wish my teachers could see

the agony they place in me.

My assignments are stacked up over my head,

pouring out of my backpack and onto my bed.

They fall to the floor and out of my door,

the very look of them I do abhor!

The black and white letters on the white crispy paper

describe the rules of the chore or caper.

This never-ending job overwhelms my social life

causing me much emotional strife!

Oh why do the teachers keep giving this stuff?

It makes them seem so mean and gruff.

If you were a true human being that enjoyed fresh air and breeze,

you would let your students fulfill this same need.

You'd allow them time for frolicking and prancing,

laughing and singing and silly dancing!

The End

If you had any doubt about who this is, it's Rhonda. Yup, you were right!

I don't think Linda is capable of writing such a poem.

One time I wrote her this one about her getting me ice when I was sick!

It was terrific!

She enjoyed every minute of it, and even reminds me of it sometimes!

If you have any random good rhymes for me, please share them!

Even if it's just a two liner rhyme, that would be super!

I think I'm obsessed with exclamation points!

What do you think?

YES!!

Ok, since I am now officially rambling, I will leave you.

I hope you have a super dooper day!

Later gator!

By Popular Request

By popular request we are changing our blog. We are now going to write all the reasons why we are happy/grateful/whatever positive! Even though I was very against this idea until we got to Reason 15 (okay maybe I'm a little OCD!) we are going to switch now.

Reason 1:

Every year at Organ Stop we hire a bunch of people for our winter crew. Usually this means we hire every single deadbeat, crackhead over 19 that ever walked the earth. (Okay, I know this doesn't sound happy, but I'll get there, I promise!) I mean seriously who else would want a minimum wage job like this at their age?!?!?! This is greatly troubling to me because I have to work with all of them and pretend to be nice to them and try not to tell them how much of a loser they are for not going to school when they could get financial aid and not pay a single cent for their education. (I seriously don't get it! I can't get financial aid because my parents are too rich or something, and apparently they're supposed to be paying for my education!)

This is not the case this year however. I am so excited! This year Organ Stop has partnered with this program that sends college students from foreign countries to the United States to work during their summer vacation . This means that during their summer vacation it is our winter season which equals mucho snowbirds! So, we are having very intelligent (Pre-med and lawyers) come from Brazil and Chile to work for us this winter! No crackheads, druggies, strippers, losers, or uneducated people this year! I am greatly looking forward to it! It makes me HAPPY!!

Sheesh, I don't know!

DISCLAIMER: Rhonda is about to fall asleep and is dictating this to me. She may not be quite coherent or even awake for all I know!

Reason 11: Choir Co-Presidentness is tiring!!

Have you ever been choir president? I didn't think so (with the exception of Kailei, whom I love)!

Oh look my quotes! (as you can see Rhonda is really out of it!) She would like our viewing audience to know all of our inside joke quotes! Most of them are from me (Linda) because I have a hard time speaking and am slightly dyslexic (never ask me which hand is my right because it will probably take me five minutes to figure it out!)

"No wonder you have soles in your hawks" ~Marcie

"Illegal, doesn't happen, not allowed!" ~Linda

"It is microwave and dishwater safe!" ~ Grandma Huber

"We don't dance, we only make pizzas!" ~Linda

Rhonda: "I don't like Softlips!"
Linda: "Me too!"

"I told you, I have problems speaking!" ~Linda

"I'm going to tell Santa Claus on you!" ~Linda

"You still have five more minutes of today" ~Linda

"It won't wake up. It's in a coma! ~Stacy

"Did Rhonda dictate this to you?" ~Linda

"Movies, Series, Seasons, Episodes!" ~Scott

"It's not today until you go to sleep, it's still tomorrow! ~Linda

"You look like you're supposed to be in the cemetary!" ~Marcie (She meant Military)

"Gas lawn mowers kill the ozone later, and then we'll all float away into olivian" ~Linda

If you don't like our quotes, "oh waah"!

PS-all of these have a "terrific, extravegant, macho" story behind them. If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again, if you need help please hang up and dail the operator, oops I mean if you'd like to hear a story behind a quote please specify which quote you'd like to be educated in and we'll decide if you're worthy or if the story is appropiate enough for your eyes to behold upon the screen.

Thank you and goodnight!

What a perfect day for a wedding!

Reason 10: Wedding: A day that is sure to make you tired and give you a headache. Also, a day that will make you very happy!

Kaela and Derek were married yesterday, and it was a perfect day! On Friday night I was watching the news and the high for the day was 95, but the high for tomorrow (Saturday) was 75 and breezy. It was perfect!! A perfect day for a wedding! So, as I was standing at outside the temple, with the rest of the single people that sadly aren't allowed to go to the temple even though they wish they could so badly, I saw Brother and Sister Bryce. It was nice to talk with them. Then, when they left my grandpa came walking out of the temple. I love my grandpa so much, he is an amazing man! So, I went to talk to my grandpa and he starts crying and tells me that he had the opportunity to seal Kaela and Derek. Of course then I was crying because my grandpa got to seal my best friend in the temple for time and all eternity. Then a little while after that Kaela and Derek came out. They were so happy and just glowing!
Kaela was so gorgeous, and so happy! When we were all standing on the stairs we saw our manager standing there, we told him to come get in the picture, but he wouldn't. So, the cameraman turned around and started taking pictures of him. When we were done with that picture we went over and talked to Jack. He was on his way to the bank and saw everyone gathering so he decided to stop by and see if it was for Kaela and surely enough it was. Kaela had ordered all of her fruits and veggies through Organ Stop and hadn't picked them up yet so Jack cut everything up for us when he went back to work. He is such a good man. I love him to death, he's always looking out for the other guy!

This is the whole "wedding party". Some of our faces look kinda funny because these aren't the professional pictures, they're just from Scott's camera.

Ashlee and I spent most of the day together. I think we're glued together at the hip when Brian, her boyfriend, isn't around. We had lots of fun together!

These are a bunch of pictures of the reception. They are mostly Organ Stop people because that's who I hang out with at functions like this!

This is my cousin Stephen, and his girlfriend Lisa (who works at OSP)

This is my best friend Katie, who got married and now I don't see her very much. I love it when I do see her! She's got one of the cutest babies in the world!!

This is our trooper/social Rhonda. Even though she just barely got home from the pioneer trek she still had to come to Kaela's reception!

ANAMIN!!! You simply cannot say Anamin's name without using exclamation points! Yes, Anamin works at OSP.

Ah, ha! These are my Hale cousins. Michelle's hair was so so so so cute! I loved it!

This has probably got to be one of my most favorite pictures. This is Brother Beach sitting on a bench. He just sat there while everyone else in his family danced. I loved it! He looked so relaxed and comfortable. He was probably super happy that he didn't have to stand in the line anymore, I would have been!

Everything went so well. I was kind of worried on Friday when we were setting up! I'm so happy for Kaela and Derek, they are amazing people who have overcome great obstacles! HOORAY they're married one less stress in my life!!!

BWAAAAHHH!!!!

Reason 9: Applying to the ITC program!

Let me tell you that applying to a program at ASU can be very exhausting! The most exhausting part is waiting for 6+ weeks to find out if you're actually accepted! Opening my ASU email account every day made my heart stop. Maybe today was the day my "acceptance letter" would appear.

So, today I had Rhonda cross everything, her fingers, arms, eyes, legs, tounge, EVERYTHING as I was opening my email, and here's what I found:

"Hello Early Childhood Education ITC Applicant,

Congratulations on your progression into the Early Childhood Education ITC Program for spring 2009 in the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education! On behalf of the faculty and staff, it is a pleasure to welcome you into this outstanding program."

Thank you to Jack Barz, my wonderful manager, and Kelly Moore (who as of today is a Hurt) for writing wonderful letters of recommendation!

I am SO SO SO excited, now I'm on the real road to being a teacher!! Maybe I'll be able to sleep at night!

Some of the BEST people in the World!!

Reason #8: These two girls can be very tiring! BUT let me tell you about how amazing they are!

Meet Kaela and Ashlee, they are my two bestest friends in the whole entire world (besides my family of course)! They have taught me so many things! They have taught me how to be a friend, and what friendship is all about!

Kaela and Ashlee are both converts to the church and I'm always amazed by their faith and determination! I don't think that I could have as great faith as they have with the things that they face! Kaela joined the church about 3 years ago and is now going to be married in the temple next Saturday! I'm so proud of her and her determination to stand up for what she believes in! Ashlee wanted to join the church a long time before she actually did. I always tease her because if she would have joined the church when she wanted to I wouldn't have been the only Laurel in my ward! Her mom wouldn't let her, but that didn't stop her from sneaking to seminary and going to church with her friends. Now her mom is a member too. What a great example these girls are to their families!

I love these girls so much and I'm so grateful for their example to me! They never give up on me and help me to be more social. I'm so lucky to be in the relief society presidency with Ashlee, she has so many ideas and makes me not be so afraid to do all those new things that scare me to death! I'm so lucky to work with Kaela and see her bright smiling face almost every day of the week! I love you girls and want to thank you for the great blessing you are in my life!

Linda Lou Leona La La La Guthrie

Reason 7:

I Love Linda! (Which is very tiring...read on)

Now, just to let you all know, if you truly love someone you put a ton of energy towards making them happy. For example, the other night I stayed up WAY past my bed time until like 10:30 just to laugh at Linda. I don't remember what it was we were doing, but it was very funny at the time. Also, I help her with her History class. Sometimes she keeps me up really late to describe to her every part of the Constitution. Through trials like these, it's amazing I still love her the way I do. So here's to you "Lee-duh"! Have a happy day!

~Rhonda~
