The Konchar Family Blog: Yo, Adrienne

Yo, Adrienne

Look to the right. There, at the top of the list of "blogs I'm always checking" is the link to your blog. Adrienne and Derek (if that is indeed how your names are spelled). A link right to you. Special-like. But you know what happens when I click on that link? A curt little message tells me I have NOT YET BEEN INVITED to view this blog. Apparently there is a party going on, and no one invited me. Well Lundberg, I'm officially inviting you to meet me at the bike racks after school. Prepare for your roughing-up. I'm older, craftier, (at least I assume I am. I did make my own wedding dress, you know. And without the aid of a stapler.) and obviously I've got the weight advantage. Kansas ain't too far of a drive for me! I've got a new Rand-McNally road atlas!

Please. Please let me come and play.

Love,
Julie

what is your freaking email?! And are you going to reject THIS comment I'm trying to leave too? What I lack in weight I make up for in scrappiness.; July 23, 2008 at 2:52 PM

Phew. I'm just glad I sucked up to Julie with a follow up email after the first email address she gave us was totally bunk. If she was willing to make the drive to Kansas, I'm sure she'd have gone to Indy next. I'm glad you avoided the cat fight.; July 26, 2008 at 6:15 PM

Things that Josie says...

Someday I will write a book filled with all of the funny, strange, scratch-your-head things that my girl Jos has said. And it's title will be something she said to me when she was four. "My Hands Call Me Bronco, But They Know My Name Is Josie"

During her potty training: "Mom, the pee isn't ready to come out yet. It has to get it's shoes on."

When she was in Kindergarten: "I will never marry. I don't like it when boys say nice things to me."

Recently, while snuggling me in bed:
Jos: "Mom, Dad is so cute"
Me: "Uhm Humm"
Jos, almost angrily insistant: "No, I mean seriously, he is adorable!"
Me: "I know!"
Jos: "I mean, turtle head! How cute is that?"

After hanging out with her cousin, Mark's 4 mo daughter Mia: "Mom, that baby is like, stinkin cute."

She told me when she grows up, she wants to be a pirate, a jungle explorer and a fry cook. She also wants to be a daddy, because she says "Being a mommy is too much work!" (Yeah, Dad, busted!)

Josie, disenchanted with the rotten 2 year old behavior of Tommy: "Mom, I really love Tommy, I just don't want to spend time with him anymore." Ahh, already preparing for motherhood.

Josie was describing for me what our two teenage neighbors smell like. "Ethan always smells like that armpit lotion that teenager boys use (I'm guessing she means he smells like Axe), and Erin always smells like bubble gum, even when there isn't any in her mouth."

While at Home Depot, she said, "I am noticing this store is full of Old People. But they look good...for old people."

During a long day in the car on our way to California, Josie was naming off all the pets she will have when she grows up. In addition to a fox, a donkey and an oppossom, she will have a rabbit named "Joey the Carrot"

Same long drive, between the state line to Barstow, Josie sees one of those refineries out in the middle of complete wasteland and she complains: Why would anyone want to build a space station here out in the middle of the desert?!

Josie says "Sometimes I annoy myself and sometimes I scare myself."

Josie observes with some disappointment: "Mom, I don't actually think my elbow has that great of a sense of humor."

Last night Josie walked in to the office and casually asked me, "Mom, how come life has to be so difficult and disappointing and sad?" If only she were much, much older and could date that really depressed comedian, I thought.

After tucking her into bed, Josie called me back to tell me a secret. Her secret? "Mom, I really hate polygons. Circles are my favorite and I love stars, but polygons? Ewwwww!"

While smelling a bottle of vanilla in the kitchen, Josie asked me if vanilla tastes good. "Yes", I replied, "but you wouldn't want to just drink it like that, it smells fantastic but tastes horrible." She said "Oh, like that soap in the guest bathroom."

Holding her newest ribbon on the way home from gymnastics the other day: "This ribbon's name is Donald."

While watching some commercial where a man and a woman are kissing, "Mom! Aren't you glad you only had to do that ONE TIME!!!"
