I think I am the most tired any person could be. This long week is finally coming to the end for me after a few very intense and long meetings and one significant court appearance this afternoon for the sweet client who passed away earlier this year. There is a 92% chance I will fall asleep tonight and stay in bed until November 21st. I'm going to pass out a sign-up sheet for you each to take turns stopping by to feed me and switch out my bed pan. I'm handing it to The Suzzzzzzzzzzzz first and expect she'll proceed to pass it through all of the Strangers in order of height and age.
It is the very least you people could do. Don't make me have to lecture and guilt trip you. I have a very large picture of Jesus ready to show you if needs be.
And now, your Pictures and Distractions:
 |
| The crew at Arches, with Delicate Arch in the background. |
 |
| Matthew. Screaming. |
 |
| Matthew finding inspiration from Delicate Arch. |
 |
| Anna took this picture of the rest of us looking annoyed at the children playing under one arch. I especially love the look on Wade's face. I assume he's upset that he wasn't invited to join. |
 |
| My hair is getting to be Texas big. Alicia explained on the Instagrams "The taller the hair, the closer to God. Tease it to Jesus!" |

Apparently, Caitlyn Jenner is being named Woman of the Year by Glamour Magazine. So, not only do men make more an hour than women, but now it looks like we make better women too.
ReplyDeleteThat Shia LeBeouf video is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI was this close to going to Moab this past week, too! I could've bumped into my 11th cousin 3 times removed and planned the next family reunion. Dang! And, The Suzzzz, should we line up to nurse Eli in order of family relation? Let me know, I'll make myself available!
ReplyDeleteKina
We shall coordinate our schedules for next time!
DeleteI live in Nebraska, have four small children, and am the seminary and Sunday school teacher for my ward, but I am more than happy to fulfill my responsibility to care for Eli during his rest. Just let me know when to be where and all that. Just for the record, how are we being compensated for this when he wakes up, homemade pumpkin cheesecake, or an afternoon with Ollie or... ?
DeleteI like Anonymous' suggestion, who's Eli's closest relative? We'll work backwards from there, sorry Krishelle.
DeleteI was really hoping you'd start with the furthest relative, The Suzzzz. I have done more than my fair share of taking care of Eli and I'm exhausted.
DeleteAnd Amy Rose, I'm not sure you want a homemade pumpkin pie from Eli: http://www.itjustgetsstranger.com/2014/12/food-assignments.html?m=0
OK, how about we start with Bob and Cathy and THEN work backwards from there. Either that or I'll be forced to actually go to Relief Society this week and pass around the sign up sheet in the class roll.
DeleteI send you ONE link involving green poop and now I'm on bedpan duty? Geez, how about a box of adult diapers and a happy meal does that count?
ReplyDeleteOh hey, while we're all feeding Eli, it would be great if we could help feed a few other people as well. The Box Elder county food pantry here in Northern Utah is having food shortages and needs some help. I'm driving over from Logan with a couple cases tonight after work: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10153751139241350&id=235109301349&fref=nf
ReplyDeleteNice, Suzzzz! We can do it, Stranger family. Let's help out the food pantry!
DeleteI clicked on the link in the first paragraph thinking it was going to give me specifics on the hugs from Jolyn...
ReplyDeleteYou weren't the only one...
DeleteUmm...my passport expired...yeah...YEAH THAT'S IT! My passport expired, sorry can't take care of you. Guess the rest of you will have to take my shift. Make sure when you do, that you draw something on Eli's face with permanent marker. Like maybe some my little pony's prancing on his forehead or something.
ReplyDeleteAnd what the heck is up with that yoddling chicken video. When that asian dude started to yoddle I just about lost it. Emily, that was super funny and yet so crazy strange.
I kept expecting Maria to pop out from behind the hill and start singing "High on a hill stood a lonely goat, yode-lehee-yode-lehee-yode-le hee-hoo" or that darn song about the female deer. The hills truly ARE alive... With the sound of CHICKENS!!!!
DeleteWho's going to be responsible for taking out your garbage and glass recyclables? NOT IT!
ReplyDeleteDon't make me make a chore chart with stickers young lady.
DeleteMy sisters boyfriend called our chore chart "mormon wheel of fortune"
Delete#selfie - for shame, Eli.
ReplyDeleteHello, and beautiful pictures and I enjoyed visiting and getting to know you a little better. As this is my first visit.
