Dear The Office- I heart you.

So I watched the new Office 3 times in a row last night. There has never been a funnier episode.

Here are some of my favorite lines:

Okay! So I have flaws. I sing in the shower...sometimes I spend too much time volunteering....Occassionally I'll hit someone with my car

You know what they say about forgiveness in the Bible...Forgiveness is next to Godliness

Michael Scotts Dunder Mifflin Meredith Palmers Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Fun Run Race for the Cure, this is Pam.

Im not SUPERstitious, but I am a little stitious.

Did anyone do anything involving an Indian burial ground?

Michael: I would now like to talk about each of your individual religious beliefs.
Toby: Oh, Michael you can't ask about religious beliefs.
Michael: Satan (referring to Toby) is the master of lies. Everything he says is the opposite.
Toby: Alright then, you CAN ask about religious beliefs.
Michael: Thank you for the permission. PSYCH!

Maybe there's some sort of animal that we can make a sacrifice to. Like a giant buffalo. OR some sort of monster, like something with the body of a walrus, with the head of a sea lion. Or something with the body of an egret with the head of a meerkat. Or JUST the head of a monkey..with the antlers of a reindeer.....and the body of a porcupine.

I thought they'd be good together like PB&J........Pam Beasley and Jim. WHAT A WASTE! What...A....Waste!!

A woman should NOT have to be hit with a car to find out she has rabies. But that's where we are in America.

Michael, 5k means 5 kilometers...not 5 thousand miles.

Kevin: Michael you can not make me run
Michael: Look, I know you're probably scared of people seeing your fat legs in shorts.

*Andy covering his nipples with gauze and tape*
I'm petrified of nipple chafing. Once it starts it's a vicious circle. You have sensitive nipples - they chafe - so they become more sensitive - so they chafe more. So I take precautions.

Wait, this money IS going to bat birth control right Michael? Thats what you told me when I contributed.

MYTH! 3 Americans die every year from rabies. FACT! FOUR Americans every year die from rabies.

It truly is the deadly killer. NO, it is the foaming barking killer.

NO, no water for me when rabies causes fear of water - SOLIDARITY!

WATCH THE NIPPLES KEVIN!!!

And while I eventually puked my guts out, I NEVER puked my heart out. And I'm very proud of that.


Some funny shots on the show:

Phyllis making a quilt that had a picture of a racoon, bat and rat on it. I loved that Michael told her she was really capturing the spirit of Merdith.

Andy with his bloody nipples.

Michael almost quitting the race like 10 feet from where the "finish line" was.

Just the whole show was too funny. I love you The Office and I'm glad youre back on!!!!

Might I just say....

Can I just say how lucky I feel this week. For oh so long, I have been wondering how and where some of my closest friends are- Joanna, Kaela and Bethany. I have had no idea of how to contact them- and within the past few days all 3 have contacted me!!! I love it! It's made my life worth living. Now you just need to email me, so that I can get more updates on your kids and lives and such! I love you guys soo soo sooo soo soo soo soo soo soo much!!!!!!!!!! My email is andreafrandsen@gmail.com

Loves be unto you all

Dear lady in Stall #3,

I'm wondering what made you think it was a good idea for you to talk to people on your cell phone whilst on the toilet...in a public restroom.

Don't make me CRY

Wow. Me really tired equals me really emotional. I just cried watching LA Ink. I hope I can make it through the upcoming episode of Saved by the Bell. Jessie and Slater have relationship problems. Maybe I shouldn't watch- this could turn into a weepy mess.

Happy Anniversary

Well yesterday, September 18th, was our 3rd wedding anniversary! Oh Brad Frandsen I love you!! These 3 years have been so fun and fabulous. Well the first year was pretty much hell most of the time, if we're being honest- but SINCE then it's been fun and fabulous. And that really is the truth. I really think I have the funniest husband in the world. Sometimes I have to tell him to
seriously stop talking so that I don't throw up from laughing. He makes me so happy. He is so creative and smart and is such a hard worker. He is my best friend and I could spend every hour of every day with him and still want to spend more time with him. I think he sometimes thinks I am crazy that I just can't get enough of him, but I just can't help myself. He is such a happy person and he's made my life a better one. LOVE YOU FRANDSEN!!

okay- so im adding a "correction" if you will onto this post, due to the amount of shocked readers. When I said our first year was pretty much hell- let me just say that it was NOT all bad- we just had some rough spots which everyone does. don't try to tell me you didnt. k thats all.

i should be sleeping

*Sigh* It is 3:28 am on Wednesday 19 September. Please tell me why I'm awake, for I do not know. Do you ever have those nights where your dreams are wierd and they keep you up and then your husband keeps talking in his sleep and you just can't sleep.. you're uncomfortable, and you hope that its almost time to get up cuz you just don't want to deal with the nighttime anymore. Well that's me... right now. I am SO looking forward to 3:30 because Full House is on then. It's the one where Danny is out of town and DJ, being the sneaky thing that she is, fakes sick so that Joey will excuse her from school so that she can go with Kimmy to the mall to get Stacey Q's autograph. "Stacey Q!! She's SO RAD!!!!" (That is a direct quote from the show for your enjoyment). Well of course she gets busted and Joey has to punish her, because- he can't let that kind of behavior slide! (AND he must feel pretty stupid for getting duped by a 12 year old- so now he has to show her who is boss right) Deej- I hope you have learned your lesson. And Bob Sagget- I wish you weren't such a terrible actor.

I LOVE KEITH URBAN!!!

i just got back from my 2nd concert ever, and my first keith urban concert! it was awesomeness!!!! i didnt know i loved him so much. it was amazing and im so glad i went!!!!!!!!!!!! ...just keep on movin into me i know youre gonna see the best is yet to come...

*****After thought- I just realized, I havent only been to Weezer and Keith Urban concerts - I went to the Jets concert w/ my Mom and Amy and I believe Andy when I was like 15. HMM, here's an after thought on my after thought - Can a Jets performance at USU really be counted as a concert. It sure seemed big time to me being 15 and from Preston, ID.

Dang you blogspot!

I dont like how at the end of each post I make it says "Posted by Andrea F at (insert time)" I really keep thinking it says, "Posted by Andrea Fat" ALRIGHT ALREADY!! I AM TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!

Who you tryin' to get Crazy with ese? Don't you know I'm LOCO?

So Brad was on his way out the door this eventide (lookin mighty fine might I add- I heart him) - and he opens the door and stops and says in a calm yet intense voice - Andrea, Come Look outside our front door RIGHT now. I walked over and that is when my eyes fell upon something similar to the picture above (Minus the glistening muscles and tight buns so radiantly displayed in a form fitting USA lovin' singlet, and flowing gold locks). There were two ENTIRELY awkward looking guys each with some fluffy homemade weaponry, fashioned after what Malibu is holding above, covered in duct tape, and they were engaged in some sort of combat. I was DYING!!!! We tried to get out the camera in time-but by the time we got it, they were already leaving the premises, looking worn from battle but all the while keeping their heads held high. What gallant warriors.

It was such a weird moment in time because what the heck were they doing? And why were they doing it on our grassy knoll? And why did they act like it was so cool? I mean these boys don't date I'm sure, and they were dressed in gray sweat pants and had brought jugs of water along to quench their thirst during the heat of battle. Really boys...get a grip.

I hope they never come back. Okay actually I hope they do because as intensely awkward as it was, I think I could really pull up a chair and watch for hours. They also need to come back so I can get a picture so that you can all partake.

Am I wrong here people? I think not!!

So there is this lady at my work, sure she's sweet but come on - I have TWICE seen her leave the bathroom and not wash her hands. So that's fungus-y enough on it's own - but the other day she brought a pan of food she made to work for us to have at lunch for a potluck and I, NO LIE, witnessed her come into the building that morning, go into the bathroom WITH THE PAN!!!, use the bathroom, not wash her hands, and come out pan in unwashed hand. So needless to say - I opted out of lunch. Ya know- thinking back upon it now- I guess I should've warned the others. Oh well, too late.

THE HILLS

I AM SO EXCITED THAT THE HILLS IS BACK ON! Yesssss! It came just at a perfect time too- right as So You Think You Can Dance ended. I love that show, and I LOVED all of the top 4 but figured that Danny and Sabra would be the final 2. I had a lot of mixed emotions about it because Neil was my fave- just cuz he was hilarious, and of course amazing too. But then at the same time I loved Danny too! And Sabra...I didnt really notice her much at first but in the end thought she was superb! So yay for Sabra!!

K so that's my little shout out.

So sue me!

(You have to say the title in a gay/valley girl voice)

I bought the old school Janice Kapp Perry, I Walk by Faith cd (i originally had it on cassette , of course) that has songs about the Young Womens Values on it and I LOVE IT!!! (brad despises it) I SING IT AT THE TOP OF MY DANG LUNGS IN MY CAR AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT!!!!!!!!!!!

"Wait..What'd You Say?" continued

So for those of you who have read through my blog may have come across a post titled "Wait..What'd You Say" , where I laid out all the funny incorrect words to songs Brad has come up with. Well I just got a new one. This one comes courtesy of our good friends Curry and Melissa.

The Song: Manic Monday by the Bangles
The real words: "Just another manic monday" (Hence the title)

Curry's words: "Just another man named Monday"
LOL LOL Kills me everytime I think about it!

Please people, if you have any good ones, please share!!!

Well, Crap

I went to Panda Express the other day for lunch and excitedly opened my fortune cookie at the end of my meal to see what wise words were to guide my future. Much to my shock and depression my fortune was this: "Work on improving your exercise routine"

ARE YOU EVEN KIDDING! At first I just scoffed at it thinking- I'll show you! I Dont' even HAVE an exercise routine! So IN YO' FACE!! Then I realized that's just MORE depressing.

But my question is this- Is that even really a fortune??? I thought a fortune should be more like "Next month you will find happiness when you improve your exercise routine" Well whatever- let's just say I think Panda has a little too much insight into my life somehow and I really don't appreciate it.

Oh and I got a new Template, whatta ya think??

I got a new template. Do you like? yay or nay Oh and Lara Stice- I need help knowing how to add links to other peoples blogs. Help please!

Did you mean FUN-due?

Oh la-dee-dee la-dee-dah. Last night (Saturday) Fransy Pants and I went to Bart and Meriels apt for fondue. We didn't know who else was going to be there for sure- but we were pleasantly surprised to walk in and find Bryan and Dawn- the newlyweds!! They have been living in Mexico, just for fun, since they got married in June and we didn't know they had just come back in town. Im so glad that Bryan is so happy now. Yay for getting married and being in love! Anyway- It was a really fun night- we played the new 80's Guitar Hero, chatted, laughed, heard a GREAT story about a bruise, ate cake for Bryans 27th birthday, watched Bourne Identity and of course- ate the best fondue EVER!!!!!!! Its this amazing cheese fondue that we dipped apples, carrots, and bread in. Talk about scrumptious! I'm happy to say we are going back for chocolate fondue tomorrow. It's times like these when I really appreciate Meriel's deep love for chocolate.

Also noteworthy from this weekend- we went to Curry and Melissa's Friday night to load up the trailers with 2,000 beach balls. Don't even try to tell me that it doesn't make you tired just THINKING about throwing 2,000 into a trailer one night-just to throw them at a bunch of screaming children chasing you down the street during the parade the next day in the blazing heat for Alpine Days. But honestly- It was actually pretty fun and it's always just fun to be with Curry and Melissa and their dang cute kids (PS- go to her new blog at caughtupwiththejones.blogspot.com). Then we went and walked around the booths in the park just to take part in the whole "excitement" of Alpine Days. It reminded me alot of yester year and going to Idaho Days. Let's just say, things like that are much more exciting when you're 10.

K well I hope everyone had a great weekend and that you're all looking forward to the work week more than I am. Cuz whoa- how is the weekend already over!??!?!?!?!

Well Well Well...Look Who's Back

Sorry to all you readers of blog Andrea (all 1 of you that actually reads it), I've been a major slacker at writing. I was feeling as though Ive nothing to write about and after thinking about it for a minuto, I realized I have TOO many things to write about. So now I'm back to square one not knowing what to write. *Sigh*

So this month has been a great month so far, well of course it has been- it's July- and uh-hem- my birthday is in July. My 26th birthday was a good one. We went to Curry and Melissa's and they made us the most SCRUMPTIOUS dinner and the seriously cutest card ever. It made me cry. Thanks guys for making my birthday so so fun!! And of course thanks to my Braddy too. It was a good day. For my birthday I spoiled myself and Brad let me :) I got 2 new shirts and some shorts and contacts! The contacts are killing my eyes cuz my eyes are so dry- but I'll keep using my eye drops and hopefully it will get better.

Last weekend we went to my family reunion on my Mom's side. I was not wanting to drive the 4 hours to Rexburg to go because I just wanted my weekend at home, but I couldn't be more happy that we went. It was SO great to see my cousins that I haven't seen in a while and to catch up and just all be together. It was also so fun to go to Rexburg again. I havent been in a few years and it has grown SO MUCH! I couldnt believe it! It was soo fun to go back and see where I used to live and work. It just brought back so many memories. I love Rexburg!

Work is going good- I talked to 2 guys on the phone today for 45 mins and they were really upset and rude at first... but I'm basically just amazing and helped them and they loved me by the end of the call and insisted on telling my manager how great I was and how they've talked to 8 other coworkers of mine and noone else has been able to help them. So I got a recognition certificate. *im so great*

K well Im going to watch "Growing Up..Elephant" on Animal Planet. It is my new favorite show. It just shows a baby animal grow up and I LOOVE it! I've seen Growing Up Seal, Gorilla, Zebra, Camel, Polar Bear, and now Elephant. I'm a nerd. The Gorillas were my fave.

K well tootles. Hope you have a great day!

Hola Friends

So I don't necessarily have anything amazing to blog about today, but I feel I should write something. So I think I'll share a few things that I have done in the past week or so just to keep you updated on all the EXCITING things I do. (Exciting meaning- really average and slightly ridiculous and boring)

1. I have been yelled at on the phone at work. One guy yelled at me and then he realized he'd clicked on the wrong link to something- so it was entirely his fault and he really didn't need to call in, but he was still mad at me afterwards, wierd.

2. I have yelled at another driver, a couple of times, on the road for driving to slow while merging on to the freeway and I'm stuck behind them.

3. I bought a new bag and some cute green earrings at Nordstroms.

4. Gained a pound or two...grrr - but you'll see why below.

5. Had 2 cans of Dr. Pepper a day.

6. Ate a salad for lunch today, but counterbalanced any good that did with a Snickers milkshake.

7. Dropped food down my shirt more than twice in public and had to fish it out.

8. Ooh- speaking of fishing, I went fishing for the first time!

9. Went to Ikea, the new one in Draper for the first time.

10. Ate a meal at the Jones' with sausage in it and actually LOVED the sausage.

11. Cried in the grocery store because I talked to my little sister and missed her and wanted to fly to VA and hang out with her.

12. Wore polka dots 3 days in a row. (Mind you, these are at least 3 different shirts)

13. Watched a ton of King of Queens.

14. Surprisingly only played Guitar Hero once!!

15. Walked around in public with a button undone on my shirt on two occassions and my zipper down once.

16. Called T-Mobile to find out how much a couple phones I want would cost to upgrade to and was told by the kid that he'd have to put me on hold cuz he needed to pull up his "how much they cost list"

17. Learned alot about hookahs from a customer that called in about his merchant account. He sells them on his website.

and last, I only did my hair once. I have just been pulling it back in a pony tail.

Wow... after re-reading all that, I really am beginning to dislike myself.

I LOVE TICKLEHOOK

So this weekend was soo soo soo fun!!! We went to Huntsville, UT to my sister-in-law's parents house that they just built that they haven't moved into yet. There were 3 couples and we had a blast. This house is right on the lake and its just ginormous!!! I will for sure add some pictures later- although no pics or words could do it justice. It was the most beautiful home in the most beautiful area- it was just so relaxing and perfect. And also, I got to go fishing for my first time!! Fishing was awesome- except for the fact that I had to jump in the cold muddy lake 3 times to unhook our lures that got stuck on one thing or another, I got so sunburned that I can barely move, aaaaand in 4 hours all we caught was a 3 inch fish that we had to throw back. All in all- I honestly can't wait to fish again- I loved it!!!!! It was just awesome to lounge around by the pool, make s'mores in the fire pit, watch boats on the lake, watch movies in the theater room, and laugh all weekend with friends. Good times. But now I'm back in my apt, back in reality and can only dream of the beloved estate on the lake, known as Ticklehook.

Wait...What'd you say?

So one of my most favorite things in life is when people sing the wrong words to songs. I do it all the time, in fact many a time I realize that the words I'm singing aren't even real words. I do have to say that my hubs Brad has had some of the funniest mix ups- so I feel the need to share.

The song: Blame it on the rain by Milli Vanilli
The OBVIOUS words:
"Blame it on the rain

Brads words:
"Blame it on the ranger"
He sang this on our first date- and he growled like a bear when he gave me a hug at my door when he was saying goodnight. How did this boy get a 2nd date?!

The song: Hands to Heaven by Breathe
The Actual words:
"Tonight you calm my restlesness"

Brads words:
"Tonight you call my breast nuts nice"
When I asked him what the heck breast nuts are, he said- I dont know! I just thought they were like chestnuts!

The song: Down on the Corner by Credence Clearwater Revival
CCR's words:
"Down on the Corner, Out in the street"

Brads words:
"Down on the Corner, Howdy in the street"
LOVE IT!

The song: Babys Got Back by Sir Mix-A-lot
The real words:
"Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin You say you wanna get in my Benz?"

Brads words:
"Ooh Rumpelstiltskin..say you wanna get in my Benz?"
I actually have heard many people getting this one wrong

The song: Break my Stride by Matthew Wilder
Aaaand the real words:
"Ain't nothin gonna break my stride"

Brads words:
"Aint nothin gonna break my spine"
I nearly died when he sang this. I LOVE IT!
