Maren Macgyver

Okay. The only reason I am Maren Macgyver and I had to use my sweet skills to get me out of a sticky situation is because I'm a total dork.




The other day, I was getting in the car to head to work. I put my phone above the steering wheel while I put my bag in the back and keys in the ignition (as I always do). Then, for some reason, the phone fell....BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL! Like, into the car! It was so far back there that I couldn't see it. I was totally freaking out because I thought it would destroy my phone and the car. I hurried and turned the car off. And the, I got resourceful. We had hangers and tape in the car, so I fashioned a little pulling device by putting a roll of tape on the hanger. I then proceeded to fish my phone from behind my steering wheel. 15 minutes later, BAM! My phone is out.


And that, my friends, is another proof of how awesome (and stupid) I am. (I also took pictures of my process in case it actually worked)

The little hole behind the steering wheel is where my phone fell. You can barely see the silver lining from my phone back there.

My sweet device

BAM! Here it is! Hooray

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was so fun this year! I'm so glad it fell on a long weekend! It was so nice to worry about school or work and just hang out with each other. We went to dinner and a movie and John bought me beautiful roses and star lily flowers (my favorite) and then surprised me with a new band for my wedding ring! I was so surprised and excited! He is THE BEST!

I usually hate posting videos, but....

This is like the funniest video I have ever seen....

Not Much Happenings.....

The past couple weeks have been crazy....but not with anything really important, just crap. Only a few things happened that are worth posting about. Last week, John and I were making Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (because they are like my favorite meal in the winter). Anyway, John was slicing up some cheese and all of the sudden, he starts jumping around, holding his finger, yelling....I thought he had touched the stove and burned himself, however, after seeing all the blood, I soon realized that he had not been burned, but had sliced his finger open with the cheese slicer. I'm freaking out and screaming (and gagging) that we need to go to the hospital (Mind you, it is a fairly large cut and it looks deep). John is says he's fine and goes to put a bandaid on....1 minute later, he has to switch band-aids yet again. Anyway, he didn't go to the hospital and now he has a nasty on his finger.
Another notible event. We had a SuperBowl Party with our friends KC and Adam yesterday at KC's house because he has a sweet big screen. It was fun to watch the game and just chill and laugh. (Also, the Office episode after the game was hilarious). Of course, I forgot my camera and now all precious memories are lost to time.
Also, I have developed a twitch in my eye. I'm pretty sure it's work related...but it's been going on for about 1 1/2 weeks. It's fairly annoying.
