San Francisco. Peace, love and marijuana. We love that place.
Got stabbed
It is 2:34 A.M. My patient just stole the shot out of my hand I was supposed to give him, and stabbed me in the arm with it. Nope, that doesn't only happen in movies. So I am nice and anticoagulated now. Sweet, I love my job.
Isn't my family huge and beautiful now? We are all grown up! Rhett is going on a mission, Lincoln is playing varisty basketball, mostly everyone owns their own homes now, I have a career, Todd is balding- man we are old. We all spent thanksgiving together at a cabin in Island Park. It went by way too fast. I'm so grateful I have all eternity with these crazy people.
August Trip
It was one crazy week with 12 adults and 5 little kids packed into two motorhomes driving across the country. There is never a lack of adventure on a Sutton trip, and this vacation didn't disappoint. We traveled to Nauvoo, sightseeing as we went. It was one of the greatest weeks ever. There is nothing better than being with my family. Thanks for all the laughs and memories. I can't wait to see where old Opal takes us next year.(Opal is the name of our sort of ghetto motorhome- I lovingly included a picture of her at the bottom. While Opal is sort of ghetto I don't know if any of you remember our beautiful first motor home "Bessie" a.k.a "the booger machine", "ol Bess", or as I liked to refer to her as "the most embarrassing machine a teenager was ever forced to ride in." Now that thing was ghetto, so I'm grateful we have upgraded to Opal- she's a champ.
Boys
Gotta love Todds and my little brothers hair brain ideas. This is one of their latest, wake boarding up the canal being pulled by four wheeler(yes I even did it). Others ideas of the summer include, four wheeling in their undies through massive mud puddles, jumping off a tractor onto a 6 foot cage ball, throwing footballs off the roof in the dark and trying to hit each other in the face, trying to water ski behind the boat without lights at 2:00 a.m. Ah, I love my boys.
Grandpa Todd
Can you believe Todd is 25? What a blast his birthday was. We went up to Olympic Park in Park City and walked around and went on the zip line. Then I took Todd on an unforgettable Banana Republic shopping spree at the outlets. He has a new passion for What Not To Wear on TLC- Clinton is his idol. You should see this stud in his new clothes. It was like school shopping for the first day of middle school all over again. The next day we had friends over for a party, we all had so much fun together. Todd requested his grandmas peach tort for dessert. It has some gross ingredients but with 2 extra bags of powdered sugar it ended up being pretty much amazing. Feel free to contact me for the recipe. You gotta love the video, WOOH. Happy birthday Babe!
Come My Creative People
Lets talk paint. I have issues(not that you don't already know that), but specifically paint pickage issues. I've had multiple paint catastrophes. 1st bad paint experience was at age 14. I begged my mom to let me redo my bathroom and ended up painting it orange and wallpapering it with a dollar store palm tree border(what the?). 2nd, I was 15. I begged my mom to let me paint my room pinkish tan... ended up looking similar to diluted pepto bismol puke. 3rd bad experiece, I was 16 I once again begged my mom to let me paint my room like a jungle, yes bright green with painted leafs, I even painted the doors. 4th, I was 20 and I begged Todd to let me paint our kitchen Bessie the motor home green, then repainted to bright red,WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS,redder than Todds bum the one time I made him go tanning;red. The one positive paint experience I had is when my wonderful sister in law Lyndi picked it for me(pony tail from Lowes). At this rate I am in line to be featured on HGTV's ugliest paint jobs It's time for an intervention. I'm starting in the living room. I've seen your homes they are beautiful, what are your living rooms painted? Don't hold out on me. SAVE US.
Exciting!
Exciting news! Todd and I are buying a house! Our offer went through, and by the end of the month Todd and I should be all moved in. The town home is in North Salt Lake in a quiet little community pretty close to work and school. Its perfect for us just a 3 bedroom 3 bath and we are stoked. However, there are one thing that I am struggling with about it... Creepola major, a guy died in it. I'm nervous how the spirit of the dead old guy is going to affect Todd's nocturnal tourrette syndrome. There is a small possibility that Todd could somehow channel dead guys spirit while sleeping. Ya, it's possible, I read about it abnormalsleepingbehaviors.com. So, I'll let you know.
Island Park
A few times this month Todd and I have been lucky to go to Island Park with my family. It's amazing up there, and it's fun to let our redneck roots shine through. Even though Todd may have contracted giardia by accidentally inhaling stagnant fecal swamp water, and I may face may never look the same because of the multiple mosquito bites-we had a blast.
Nocturnal Tourettes
So, Todd is not typically a big cusser, but if you get him stressed out or tired enough he will swear like a sailor; but only in his sleep. On multiple occasions I have woken up to profanities being yelled to the darkness. I think we all remember the punching incident with the spiders, and my bleeding lip(a few posts back). But, the violent black outs have been replaced with something I like to call nocturnal tourettes. For example, last night Todd throws off the covers in a huff, sits straight up and yells "Oh Shit!" then calmly lays back down and goes back to sleep. "Oh hell"s mumbled in his sleep are very common, and if the dream is bad enough there has even been a few "get away from her you son of a... female dog" accompanied with a kung fu kick or two. He never remembers what his dreams about and rarely remembers the swearing incident in the morning. I'd love to see what a shrink could do with that.Ha,thanks babe for keeping me entertained both day and night. I love you and your uncharacteristic swearing fits.
Farewell Appendix Song
Morphine, Percocet, Tordal, Tylenol
Ice bag, puke bin, vomit is on my hair again
Need to work, need to shave, need to try and stand up straight
T.V’s lame, all day long
When does Dancing With the Stars come on?
Good bye my appendix
You worthless tumor sack why’d you cause me so much pain
Just like my high school boyfriend
Worthless, full of crap causes so much pain.
Appendix you’re just like him
Useless just the cause of drama
Appendix you’re the luck one
At least you don’t’ got a crazy mamma.
My husband wanted to keep you in a jar
But the surgeon says that was going too far
He loves every part of me,
Even if it’s inflamed and infecting
That’s why I love him,
He sees me through allergic reactions
When my face is puffy and red
He still says he wants me in bed
This song is really naughty, ya its kinda bad
I’m sorry please forgive me I’m high on lortab
Good bye appendix
It was a good twenty one years
Farewell appendix,
You tried to kill me and drew a few tears.
Farewell appendix
So long and good bye
Farewell appendix, appendix, appendix
GOODBYE
