Second State to the Right and Straight on Til Morning

Before I get deep into my taxes and watch SportsCenter for the 4th time, I thought I would jot down a few favorite memories and quotes from the weekend. They were too hard to rank, so I put them in chronological order. If I had to pick a favorite I would probably say it's a tie between #2 and #3.

19. Precisely. NW: "That is actually the third most beautiful place in the world."
18. The Rock Jump Shriek. JS: "Ahhhh!"
17. The football to the truck. ZZ: (shrug+grimace)

16. The football where it counts. ZZ: (slumped over+grimace). Me:"I am sooo sorry."
15. Expensive taste. AH: "So, how's that GRAPE juice?"
14. The accidental food throw. SW: "At least I acted like a lady, and didn't throw it back." Me: "I am sooo sorry."
13. The Knee club. AH: "You've had reconstructive knee surgery? ME TOO!" DH: "Me too."

12. 'Breaking' the soap dispenser on the sink. (me looking around discreetly) DH: (smiling) "That happened to me 5 min ago."
11. Breaking one of the darts. Me: "I am sooo sorry"
10. Cooking Skillz. ZZ: "So how do we make it?" DH: "Hmm. Don't Know. I'm actually much better at ordering breakfast."
9. Only at CU. The hairy dude: "I usually practice on grass, but this morning I ran out. Just kidding...it's Boulder, I never run out."

8. Padres epithets. 8 yr old fan: "Bell! You. Are. Sub-par."
7. No Bus? JS, DH, Me: "Welp, back to the suckfest."
6. The noise club. NW: (to me) "You snore." JS: "So do you!"
5. All alone and one row behind. (RWM-random ward member) "What, are we not exciting enough for you in Boulder?" Me: "...um...I was concentrating."

4. When talking to the Mongolian sister missionary. (RWM or perhaps DH) "Whoa, don't get excommunicated."
3. The casserole to the tablecloth. ZZ: (head drop+sigh+grimace+red face) later on- "No, she didn't tickle me, if she had it'd be on the wall."
2. Foot in mouth. (Pointing to an old picture of NW) Me: "What RACE are you?" BW: "She has some Cherokee in her." Me: "Hahaha" (NW) "He's 100% serious." Me (realizing): "haha...um...really. What side of the family?"
1. The back cracker...a.k.a. the neck breaker disclaimer. DH: "Actually, if your back doesn't need to be cracked it just hurts a lot."

So did you notice the common theme? I'll give you a hint, it's me apologizing (for injuring people, breaking things, throwing food, sleeping loudly, and sleeping period). Thanks to all who made it possible.

Others From the Fam.
JW: "Take I-70 East!" NW:"We CAME East."
DW: (to NW) "You're going down!"
SW: "You STILL have to buy a car."
BW: "Next trip destination- NY!"
