Cave House For Sale

Check out the two links I have below. The first one is way cheaper then the second one but the second link is more beautiful. The first one I saw on the news so I went looking for the ebay page. Who knew there would be more then one person trying to sell their cave house? And who knew there would be more then one in existence. Even if I did have the money I don't think I could live in a cave but it is fun the think about. Enjoy!

New Business - Oh Sew Lovable

Check out our new business! Rob and I have been working hard this week to post all the blankets I have made on the internet to sell. Rob is still in the process of posting all the blankets that are done and ready but you are welcome to go see what we have posted up there so far. The link is http://ohsewlovable.etsy.com. You wouldn't believe how much work it is to get this project off the ground but we are hopeful that it will be successful. Oh and I can't take credit for the name either. Rob is very clever and thought of the name. I don't know what I would do without him! Let us know what you think!

Bangs

I decided to try something new with my hair. I didn't feel like Rob and I loosing our jobs was enough change for me. Haha! I actually hate change, just ask Rob. However, I have been thinking about cutting myself some bangs for awhile now so one day I just did it. It took me awhile to get used to them. It was a shock for sure! Rob really likes them though so that helped with the shock. Anyway, I just thought I would share. Rob and I are also starting up a new business for me. More details to come soon...

Weather Maddness

Yesterday the weather in Layton was crazy. It snowed really heavily for about four hours. Rob had to snow blow twice because the snow was so heavy it would have broken our snow blower to wait until the snow was done falling. Then at about 8 last night the power went out for awhile. Usually the power goes out at least twice in the winter months but quickly comes back on. Last night it took awhile for the power to come back on. It was kind of nice though. Rob and I enjoyed each others company while just sitting in the dark. I am glad the power is back on today.

Proof I Have A Great Husband

You are probably squinting your eyes and asking yourself "What is that?" Well last Saturday I was trying to paint my fingernails and accidentally yes accidentally lost my grip on the bottle of pinkish red fingernail polish and it dropped all over our white carpet downstairs. The first couple of things both Rob and I thought were first of all that is made a really cool design and second that it must have been an accident because if I were trying to do it on purpose I would have targeted our pink or blue carpet upstairs. I really thought Rob would be mad at me but he wasn't. He just told me to go get some heavy duty cleaner from upstairs and he spent the next two hours scrubbing the polish out of the carpet. You can still see a hint of the pink color on the white carpet but for the most part the polish is gone. This is just more proof of how great my husband is. He knew exactly what kind of cleaner to use and he didn't get mad at me at all. I owe him big for this one.

Fallen Cake

I'm not sure if you can tell but somehow my cake fell in the center. When I took it out of the oven it was beautiful and plump. Fifteen minutes later when I came to put the icing on it had fallen. Shrug. Luckily it still tasted the same and I was only making it for Rob and I so it wasn't a big deal. I just hate when that happens.

Richelleisms

I have to explain what my husband most affectionally calls "Richelleisms". Bascially they are things I do or say that are completely crazy. But my husband thinks they're cute.
**NEW**The other day I was at the dentist winched when my mother-in-law started using the sonic machine. She thought she had hurt me but it wasn't my mouth that was hurting, it was my ears. I told her I could hear dog whistles. Anyway, I came home and was telling Rob that story only I said I told her I could hear dogs whistle instead of dog whistles. Rob couldn't stop laughing. Just because I put the "S" in the wrong place in the sentence. I seriously struggle sometimes.
Rob was making shapes with his homemade donuts and I said, "Oh, you tore off the insects antlers!" Rob then asked me when insects first developed antlers.
Today Rob said, "My finger was feeling weird, so I bit it."
Today I put Dawn dish soap in the dishwasher. I didn't think anything of it. I happened to tell Rob just in conversation and he now calls me Lucy (from the I Love Lucy show)! Luckily my husband caught it before we were knee deep in soup suds. And it only took a bottle of vinegar!
My brother-in-law microwaved the Mrs. Butterworth bottle too long and it started to melt the bottle. Not thinking anyone was listening he yelled “Oh no! I melted Mrs. Butterworth. Now she has bad posture! “
When I was asked if I wanted any sauces by the worker in the drive through at Arby's I said "Ya, can I get roast beef?...I mean, Arby's sauce please". I know, I struggle.
The other day I was taking back a book to the library and saw a mom helping her little boy across the parking lot. Well she looked like a friend of mine so I yelled "Hey I.......DON'T know you. Sorry." The back of her head looked like someone I knew but once I started talking to her and she turned her head I no longer knew who she was. That was a little embarressing.
"I had a black gold fish once."
My husband grew up drink wassle during the holidays. Well I had never heard of wassle before. So a couple of years ago I asked Rob "What's a wassle?" Rob laughed super hard.
For the longest time I really did think buffalo wings came from buffalos. I mean why do they call them buffalo wings if they don't come from buffalos. Well recently I found out they got the name for it because the sauce was created in Buffalo, New York.
One Thanksgiving while I was still dating Rob we decided to make some pies to take to his parents house. You have to know that between the two of us Rob is way better at cooking then I am. I was trying so hard to impress him I wanted to make the pie by myself without any help. Big mistake! I was following the recipe so carefully until I dumped 1/2 cup of salt in the batch. I said out loud "Man that is a lot of salt for one pie." As Rob looked over I checked the recipe again. Yeah, it called for 1/2 tsp. of salt, NOT 1/2 cup! I was so embarressed!
Was that a dog barking or just me?"
More often than not I use the word "Pacific" in place of the word "Specific". It just slips out.
A few weeks ago I was driving down the road with a friend and started to honk. She asked what I was honking at. I said there was a bird in the road and I wanted it to get out of the way so I didn't hit it. As we drove closer to the "bird" we discovered it was just a big rock. Man did I feel stupid. My husband will never let that one down.
As much as Rob says I have Richelleisms he has his moments too. One sunny afternoon we were driving down the road and Rob looked at a sign in front of a bakery. The sign read ON SALE Cupcakes - Donut - Cone - Cakes. Right after Rob looked at the sign he turned to me and asked "What's a donut cone?" I couldn't control my laughter! In his defence they did put Donut and Cone on the same line. :)
