Why I Don't Wear Pantyhose

Over the years I've learned that I seem to be prone to some wacky embarassing moments.  I've also learned to just roll with it and get a good laugh.  So, yesterday I'm at church teaching the adult women's group and realize that my nylons are creeping down.  Then I realize I can't even form sentences because they are creeping WAY down and it's probably only a matter of minutes before they are down to my knees and visible below my skirt.  I tried my best to move forward but then realized there is NO way I could stand in front of a group and teach a lesson with this going on!  After weighing my options I told them my pantyhose were falling down, ran out of the room to an empty room across the hall - ripped the things off and returned to teach my lesson!  How embarassing - but mostly how funny is that??  I'm sure I had everyone's attention!  Have you had any embarassing moments happen lately?

LOVE it!! I'm sure this made your lesson even more memorable. :)

Recently I sent an email at work and typed "wildbod" instead of "wildblod" for his address.

I thought it was awesome and I'm so glad I got to see it first hand! That's happened to me before - there's not stopping them! At least it was at the beginning of the lesson right? You're awesome.

Well, I have had a similar thing happen to me (and bra straps falling down, too), but I've never had to leave the room. I honestly just counted my blessings that I was teaching RS instead of Gospel Doctrine! :) RS ladies understand perfectly. Group in GD? Not s'much!

That is so funny! Every woman can relate to that! The same thing happened to me on my mission in Germany. We had just got off the subway and were walking across the street to Aldi to do some grocery shopping when the elastic on my pantyhose gave way. I clutched my pantyhose (around my waist and under my coat) and asked the Aldi people if they had a restroom, which they didn't. So in desperation I ran into their back storeroom and hid between tall crates of boxes and hiked up my skirt and pinned my pantyhose with a large safety pin that I always carry in my purse for emergencies. I was totally panicked and my husband laughes to this day about how I was totally freaked out. I could just see myself trying to get back on the subway with my pantyhose around my ankles!

Pantyhose are evil.

Dr. Noehren is Now FUNDED....a Little!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I seem to blog a lot about Brian's work stuff - but I just get so excited and want to share.  Plus, I figure it is our family blog, and Brian's not one to mention this stuff on his own so here goes another post that you can skip if you could care less! At any rate - today Brian got his first grant!!!  Oh happy day.  He has been included on other people's grants and gotten some as a grad student - but this is his first official grant that he is the primary investigator on.  The glorious sponsor's of the grant are his professional foundation - the American Physical Therapy Association.  I love them.   I really do.  They gave us 3 grants during grad school that saved us $30K in student loans.  They are one of the few organizations that when in a position to do so, I will donate lots of money to.  And now this.  Man, they are cool. So, as a rookie researcher they typically give you 2 years to set up your lab and ge...

Science Center & Niagara Falls

Brian took this picture of a bridge competition that was going on at the conference center.  That is a lot of bridge players! While Brian was conferencing, we ventured out in our car to the Science Center across town.  It was awesome!  We loved the interactive displays and things to do.  It was way, way fun. This frog is the cutest, saddest, frog I've ever seen.  He was so adorable. Haley loves turtles! We tried some Pizza Pizza for lunch in the cafeteria.  Not bad! This wooden slide was awesome in their little forest.  Grant went flying down it like a rocket.  Once he didn't get his footing right to stop and he kept on flying.  It was sooo funny.  He had a little bum rash from the slide, but was okay. What a good sister...picking out the mulch from Grant's shorts after he went flying off the slide.  hahaha. After finding so many good deals at the outdoorsy place the night before, I decided we ne...

Life is Expensive

This black friday I had my hopes set on this: But what I got instead was this: Cool, right?  Well - yes, and no.  I do really, really love our new Toyota Rav4, but was geared up to spend around $800 this week, not so much the more than $800 a new car costs.  I should also mention that I have been saving for the past 3 months for my big tv purchase and had finally saved $750 this week when our money pit Buick Rendezvous finally decided enough was enough and decided it only wanted to drive to Clarksburg West Virginia, not Morgantown...another hour down the road.  So needless to say there will be no big fancy tv in my house this Christmas season, (boo hoo hoo) but hey - I can live without a tv, but I can't live without a car. As sad as I am at the loss of my near tv purchase (and all of my financial savings!) I am grateful this Thanksgiving week for many things.  Here are just a few things I've learned this week: 1.  Never buy a Buick....NEVER!...
