Was doing some old Facebook post perusing and we came across this fun thing from a few years back...we figured we would share it with you all. Because everyone needs a laugh! (Oh, and the template is pasted below so you can create your own) :)
H: Dear Kelly,
I don't really know how to tell you this but I'm joining the convent. I think I realized it when I tripped on peanut butter outside of your office and I saw you sit on my boyfriend. I'm sure you're shamed enough to understand how awful you are. I'm returning your toe ring to you but I'll keep the results of that blood sample as a memory. You should also know that I am better off without you and the apartment building is on fire.
Greetings to your frog Leonard,
Holly
K: Dear Holly,
I don't really know how to tell you this but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I tripped on peanut butter in a clown suit and I saw you sit on my father. I'm sure you're shamed enough to understand how awful you are. I'm returning your Hannah Montana underwear to you but I'll keep the results of that blood sample as a memory. You should also know that I am better off without you and you should stop picking your nose.
Go drown yourself,
Kelly

Schtuff twin girls say, volume 8
A few special guests this time around...enjoy! (Warning: a minor and censored expletive below)
Holly: (to her computer) Why do you suck so much?
Holly: (to her computer) Why do you suck so much?
Kelly: Sis, did you just pour your water into the cat's bowl?
Holly: So? He likes it.
Kelly: Of course he does. He's a cat (I continue to ramble for a bit)
Holly: Kelly, your pizza isn't spinning.
Holly: What do you think cats pray for?
Kelly: Wiley probably prays for more food.
Kelly: Oh, you mean the 456? Don't they just throw up when they don't get their way?
Holly: How was your pumpkin spice latte? Hope it sucked.
Kelly: (while having girl's night). Can someone capable of adulting open the wine please?
Kelly: (while having girl's night). Can someone capable of adulting open the wine please?
Holly: by the way I'm texting boy right now.
Kelly: (impersonating general Strax) BOY!!!!!
(Holly proceeds to bust out laughing)
(Kelly was explaining cat scratch fever)
Holly: Isn't there something like that that you can get from dogs?
Kelly: Rabies
Holly: I'm about to turn my computer on. Say a prayer for me.
Kelly: (talking to the parents). Yeah...we had to fire the maid.
Dad: B****....(we lost it)
Kelly: I'm not irate. I promise (I wasn't.)
Dad: (in faux angry voice) WHAT DO YOU MEAN????!!!!!
Bonus from church choir:
Holly: Alan (our church choir director), you were a music major. Didn't you have to learn how to play the piano?
Alan: Get out! (Followed by a series of laughter and defenses from other music majors and 'there's no way you could learn every instrument in 4 years.' And all were kidding.)
Alan: I was a music major. Don't you know how to play the BASSOON??? (more laughter)
Kelly: Look at this pile of nothing I have to do today.
Kelly: (enters the room with a pudding cup) It's the rise of the Pudding Brains!
(Holly dies laughing)

A Generalized Life Update #2
Kelly: So I've been at my new job gig for a little over a month now, and so far things are going really well. Our patient numbers (census) have been high for a while, which has made things crazy but so far nothing catastrophic or earth-shattering has happened. For the most part everyone has been calm, somewhat happy and haven't made any ridiculous demands. I really enjoy the staff I work with and we all have a good time and love what we do. I really enjoy the patients too, and gone are the days of constantly feeling like walking on eggshells. When working in psych, things were so unpredictable all the time, and you just never knew what may set someone off. So there's that. It's pretty smashing.
Secondly, Holly and I have been in the process of trying to find a house to rent. We can't quite afford swinging to buy one yet, but it's time for a change. We've been at our townhouse for a little over 2 years now, and a series of circumstances have left us ready to go. It's been overall a somewhat frustrating process, in terms of finding a house and making phone calls to prospective rental companies/landlords. We've learned the term "single family" does not apply to twin sisters, which sort of stinks for us. Neither one of us can really afford to live on our own, nor do we want to. We've had a lot of closed doors, but as of today two more prospective options have opened up. I'm not really trying to keep my hopes up, but there's a part of me that is optimistic that one of these two will work out. On the way home after just driving by to look at a neighborhood in where one of them are, we prayed while driving, and soon after came across the number of another house to rent. God is good! I'm going to make a phone call tomorrow to this other house and hopefully things will be in our favor. So that's what's going on in our lives for the time being. Thanks for hanging with us!
Holly: I spent all of last week traveling for work-related events: building two high tunnels and a VISTA training/networking/catching up weekend in Pikeville, KY. Got to reconnect with a lot of VISTAs from my Atlanta training, and meet some more, all of who are doing some pretty awesome things in northern and eastern Kentucky. Speaking of VISTA, things are going very, very well; I am still really happy there and I'm learning more and more as every week passes. I have about three and a half months to go until my term ends, and I feel like the second half has just flown by! As for post-VISTA....well, they liked me so much they decided to offer me a full time gig!! Yep, you are totally reading that correctly! :) I've known for quite a while now but have been essentially sworn to secrecy, but I think I've kept it a secret for long enough! I am beyond excited to transition into this new role and I am still blown away at just how much God has worked for good when He called me to do this crazy thing almost a year ago! I don't know any of the logistics yet, but...yeah, there it is!!
Yoda and Wiley (our pet babies) have been with us for three years now. We still love them to pieces and they still drives us insane. They've brought us so much joy and have kept us ridiculously entertained. Neither of us are in relationships still, and we're still ok with that (Although I'm plotting...) And lastly, we're spending Memorial Day weekend in Indiana! You may remember when we went to their wedding almost four years ago! Yep...their little girl is due in July (their first!!!), and we are all BEYOND excited :)
So that's basically it. Pray God will have His will as we continue to search for a house, and that all will go well for our dear Ashley and her little Nugget :) Thank you all for continuing to journey on this crazy road with us!
And just in case you need a laugh, which I'm sure you could always use one, you can watch this video that Kelly and I can't get enough of!

Schtuff twin girls say, volume 7
You know it!!
Kelly: You just gave me a concussion with a Wal-Mart gift card! (Holly threw it at me)
(while eating out at Sonny's)
Kelly: They say that half of your dinner plate is supposed to be vegetables.
Holly: (plate of ribs, chicken, mac and cheese, garlic bread, and green beans) Well, I'm out.
Holly: Do you mind not masticating so loudly?
Holly: (Kelly handed me a pudding cup). Kelly...why did you give me such a big spoon?
Kelly: (reading email). Oh. Matt Maher just added a new concert.
Holly: Probably in Florida. (finds out he's in Richmond).
Unanimous ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in 3...2...1...
Holly: Yoda, will you stop destroying me, please?
Kelly: Probably not a good idea to watch bloopers and have a glass of wine.
Holly: But we only had one...
Kelly: And we're laughing at your wheeze....(and we both bust out laughing and crying)
Holly: Oh look. I spilled wine on my shirt because Martin Freeman didn't win an Emmy.
Kelly: Actually he did....so now we need a new excuse.
(leaving Old Town Grill):
Kelly: It's so nice out!
Holly: Yeah, it is. Maybe I'll go for a wee stroll later. Or maybe I'll just clean the bathroom.
(watching Broadchurch):
Holly: He sounds a lot more Scottish today.
Kelly: Is there a such thing as song crack? I'm totally making it a thing.
Holly: Hey Kelly, look, I'm Yoda! (proceeds to run as fast as she can across the room)
(watching ER bloopers):
Kelly: Holly, it's not like this, I promise.
Holly: I had cheesecake when we were in-
Kelly: STOP!
(watching NUMB3RS):
Kelly: Charlie, change your clothes!
Holly: He's distraught, Kelly! Geez, leave him alone.
Kelly: If it were me, I would change my clothes.
Kelly: I've gotten really good at crumbling up foil with oven mitts on.
Holly: That's good.
Holly: I just realized my hashtag "Monday slump" also looks like "Mondays lump". Which sounds odd.
Kelly: (notices Wiley laying on her purse) Wiley, do you want to be pretty?
Kelly: Is your fried rice crunchy?
Holly: No.
Kelly: Sushi...
Holly: Ooh ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang.
(watching NUMB3RS):
Holly: You know why I like Don Eppes? Because he doesn't drink black coffee.
Kelly: I just tripped and fell into some feelings.
(eating Velveeta shells and cheese):
Holly: High blood pressure, woo hoo!
Kelly: I need a car iPod.
Holly: This parking lot is a hot mess. Actually, it's a cold mess.
(season finale of Broadchurch is tomorrow):
Holly: Let's have a moment of silence for our feelings.
Holly: I'm so bored!
Kelly: Why don't you go for a walk?
Holly: I already did that. I took out the trash.
Kelly: (at the fridge) So is this all just community pudding?
Holly: Yeah. Hey, community pudding. That sounds like a band name.
Kelly: Yeah it does. But I'd be hungry every time I went to see them.
Holly: I never liked the word "curd"...it always reminds me of turd.
(watching Facing the Giants):
Holly: Bobby Lee Duke is running with a sucker in his mouth! That is NOT good!
(texting convo)
Kelly: Size 10 JCrew jeans for 10 bucks. Sound good?
Holly: YEEEAAAAHH!!! Pic?
Kelly: Hang on give me a few mins. Berea email :D should be there
Holly: ERMAHGERD LUUUUUUUUUURRRRRVVV!!!! Man they were dirt cheap too.
Kelly: Right!!!! I could not pass them up.
Holly: We so savvy and fly!
Kelly: You just gave me a concussion with a Wal-Mart gift card! (Holly threw it at me)

The Tim Hawkins VIP Experience
Holly: Kind of sounds like it could be a title for an episode of Big Bang Theory...
Well...we are 2 days into the #2015bereasnowpocalypse and, since we are a bit what you'd call snowed in, I'll get things rolling by beginning our tale of when we saw Tim Hawkins live for the second time!
The date was Friday the 13th (how creepy!!) and we waited outside for about fifteen minutes in the RIDICULOUS cold for the VIP doors to open. Yes, this time we had VIP tix, a transaction that took place in May of last year! So no messing around with us this time. We were herded to the gym of the church and were promptly fed Chick-Fil-A. Yes, actual food! Which, at this time, I shall bring up, upon receiving these tickets, it was told that "hors d'oeuvres" were being served, so we ate beforehand. Definitely not expecting boxes of original chicken sandwiches and waffle chips, so we shared a sandwich and hated ourselves a little bit more. After we ate we were taken into the sanctuary where we ended up THREE ROWS behind the stage!
I know there's a lot of you out there who are Tim Hawkins fans, and if you haven't seen him live yet, you really need to! You WILL laugh, for the entire 2 hours, practically nonstop. Bonus: He laughs at his own stuff too! But what I really love about this guy is that he makes it all about Jesus! So I guess it's what I would call a win-win situation :)
Kelly: I kept telling Holly throughout the night "we should be VIP's more often." It was a lot of fun. I felt like we were right there in the action, being 3 rows from the stage. There's really nothing else to add; it was really funny. A few times I sincerely thought I was going to be sick I was laughing so hard. At the end of the show we got to meet him. He was like "have I met you all somewhere before?" We were like....nooooooo. I then asked if he knew any twin jokes. He said he didn't but knew a blonde joke. It goes like this: 2 blondes were on either side of a lake. One blonde yelled to the other "how do you get to the other side?" Yeah...it took me a while to figure that one out; it was a long day. Finally got it when we were driving home. Ahh well. It was still funny. They wouldn't let us take any pictures, but the church did post some on their website (that sis is perusing right now).
I wrote in my journal the night we got home and was like this is why I go to things like this. Tim said that this world is so...messed up, and we're all just a bunch of terds. Laughter is perhaps one of the saving graces for this messed up world. It gives me hope, seriously. And it's a good and healthy escape. Plus we just like funny things (if you go on our Pinterest we posted a couple of his stuff on our funnies board). And his humor isn't crude; it's laughable! You laugh at it because a, it's really funny and b because it's so true! He mentioned that when women laugh they let out this long sigh at the end of it. I laughed at this then sighed. I was like "oh my gosh, Holly, I just did what he said!" and I laughed even harder. Perfect example of "it's only funny because it's true." So yeah. It was a really great night. I am still thinking about it from time to time. And who better to share this night with than sis? I will close with a comment he said near the end of the show; his purpose for why he does what he does is all for Jesus. It's to glorify Him.
Jesus didn't come into the world to make bad people good. He came to make dead people alive.

Colin and Brad: Take 2!
Holly and Kelly: A lot of you have started following us just within the last few months, so if you would be so kind as to allow us to indulge in a brief trip down memory lane: So remember way back in the day when we were a bunch of young college kiddos completely stoked out of our minds because we met Colin and Brad in Richmond almost four years ago? (In case you didn't remember....this may help jog your memory). We thought for sure that this gut-busting night of improvised hilarity would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Make that twice-in-a-lifetime. History repeated itself last Friday night. Well...almost.
We packed a bag and road tripped down I64 to the city of Ashland, KY, so close to both West Virginia and Ohio that you can see it. Yes, the dynamic duo of humor were doing a show there that night, and thanks to our awesome trip-planning-guru of a dad, we scored a nice hotel literally a stone's throw away from the venue. But not before hitting up local eatery Fat Patty's. Man oh man, that was one glorious open-faced roast beef sandwich! And our waiter was really nice and super awesome. Once we got to the theater we had to wait a bit for the stage to open. We had to buy our tickets separately, so our seats weren't together initially. Right before the show started though, we orchestrated a plan to move a few rows back to some empty seats so that we could enjoy the show together. So we did. And it was glorious!!!!

| The sign! |
He duct taped a penguin to the ceiling, lit a cloud on fire in Paducah, KY at Terry's Polar Bear Shaving & Tires & Tubes with a ping-pong paddle. Ya'll, we are not making this up. And yes they did the mousetraps game again. And yes we cringed a lot. Unfortunately, they did not stick around at the end for meet and greets like they did in Richmond, but that's ok. We still had a really awesome time, and it was great for us to road trip, laugh and enjoy each other's company. The time we get to spend together is a treat for us, and we don't ever take it for granted. God has blessed us with a good relationship in which we share a lot of interests, including lots of funnies.

The power of 4
Just a fun little thing we've seen amongst some of our blogger friends. Everything you ever wanted to know about us but were too afraid to ask. Enjoy :)
Kelly:
4 names that people call me other than my real name.
Opal, Kellz, Nurse or "Hey You!"
4 jobs that I've had.
Campus tour guide, Facilities assistant (AKA Janitor), Hospital administration office lackey and creative writing and research center office lackey (while in college)
4 movies that I have watched more than once
Pretty much everything in my DVD shelf, but I will name a few. Monty Python, Iron Man, The Holiday, The Bucket List, Up, A Christmas Story...that's just a few.
4 places I've lived
Stirling, Scotland. Athens, Ohio and Berea, Kentucky. Wait...I've only lived in 3 places.
4 places I've been
New Orleans, Louisiana (it's beautiful there), Edinburgh, Scotland. Nicaragua (all over) and New Mexico. It's hot and dry there.
4 places I would rather be right now
In my BED, the beach, somewhere warm in general or at my parent's house snuggled up on the couch
4 things I won't eat
Okra, Greek yogurt from Walmart (that crap is NASTY), tofu and french onion soup. And sweet potatoes
4 of my favorite foods
chocolate anything (except cake), sushi, pasta and cookie dough ice cream
4 TV shows that I watch
I only watch a few shows regularly, but currently on my queue is The Big Bang Theory, Sherlock, Doctor Who and Numb3rs
4 things I am looking forward to this year
Since 2014 is almost over, I will say things I'm looking forward to in 2015; turning 25, perhaps taking a mini vacation, summer wedding, Colin and Brad again, and Tim Hawkins again!
4 things I am always saying
Can I go home? (So and so) is going through it. Am I in trouble? And of course OH CRAP.
Holly:
4 names people call me other than my real name:
1. H-bomb. From my dad
2. H. Also from my dad
3. Hols. Good friend from home calls me that sometimes
4. Harry. New thing at work. Only happens once or twice. Don't ask :)
4 jobs that I've had:
1. Lab tech. Basically I got paid to play with beagles. It was awesome.
2. Jill-of-all-trades at Old Navy. I folded a lot of cardigans.
3. Lab coordinator with UK Biology. Insanity at its finest. Worked with some great people though and had a great time.
4. AmeriCorps VISTA: what I do now. I love every minute of it! :)
4 movies I've watched more than once:
*This is REALLY hard, because I love so many movies*
1. The King's Speech. One of my favorites.
2. Maze- an independent movie about an artist with Tourette's who falls in love with his best friend. A really beautiful story. And it's funny! Also one of my favorites, even though I discovered it just last month.
3. Titanic. Lost count at how many times I've seen it.
4. Big Hero 6. I've seen it twice in theaters and it will definitely be added to our DVD collection!!
4 places I've lived:
1. Surbiton, United Kingdom (small borough 20ish minutes outside of London)
2. Athens/Guysville, Ohio- spent my whole life there but left to attend college

4. Sadly, I have only lived in these 3 places.
4 places I've been:
1. Oxford, United Kingdom
2. London, United Kingdom

2. London, Trafalgar Square, people watching
3. At the beach with my family
4. In the TARDIS with the Doctor. That'd be a riot.
4 things I won't eat:
1. Peanut butter. But I love Reese Cups, buckeyes, peanut butter cookies, etc.
2. Acorn squash. Texture thing. Butternut squash is ok though.
3. Tofu. More like no-fu.
4. Black coffee (Yes, I know you can't eat coffee, but it's its own food group for me). It has to have something in it. Otherwise I just don't have coffee, and that makes me sad.
4 of my favorite foods:
1. Sushi. Koto's in Richmond is so far my favorite place.
2. Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia
3. Oatmeal raisin cookies (Are you sensing a trend here?)

4 TV shows I watch:
1. Doctor Who
2. NUMB3RS
3. Sherlock
4. A four-way tie between Frasier, Broadchurch, and Big Bang Theory
4 things I'm looking forward to (half in 2014, since it's almost over, half in 2015):

4. Second 2015 thing: Being in my first wedding! :)
4 things I am always saying:
1. Get out.
2. It wasn't me.
3. Lord have mercy!
4. Dingus (a made-up term used to describe a foolish person, usually myself)

Burger and Chips; it's a Fine Fine Life, and guess what? YOU Matter: A night of for KING & COUNTRY
Holly and Kelly: For the 3rd time this year, we saw for KING & COUNTRY last night.
If you remember, this was the same band we saw at the 4th of July concert in Winchester. Back near the end of September, I was randomly browsing and then I (Kelly) checked my email (we signed up to receive their emails after the Winchester concert) and found out they were coming to Lexington. Yup. All over that one! I mean seriously, we love these guys. Not only do they love Jesus, but they love their fans too! Before we left for the concert, they posted on Facebook that they were going to leave tickets at the will-call center FOR FREE for anyone who wanted to go for themselves, friends or family but couldn't afford them. Yeah. Does your favorite band do that? Would your favorite band do that?
We took a good friend of ours, who didn't want to go at first because of the cost and such, but I (Kelly) said "I will buy your ticket and your dinner because I just really want you to see this concert because you will be so blessed by it." Needless to say, we both got several thank-yous (and if you're reading this Matthew, you are so welcome!) But one of the other things that got us sold was their support of Compassion International. In case you don't know what they are, Compassion is an organization that sponsors children that live in impoverished areas of the world. Sponsorship pays for medical care, food, schooling and for these children to receive the Gospel at their local churches. Luke, one of the brothers in the band, is a big supporter of this organization, and so finally, after seeing them 3 times, we finally decided to become sponsors ourselves. We are now sponsoring 5 year old Perla from the Dominican Republic :) We are thankful to God that a portion of our earnings will be going to this little girl so she can grow and know that somewhere in the world she is loved not only by us but by a God so big and loving. If you have any questions about sponsorship or want to sponsor a child yourself, please go to Compassion International's website and get connected.
Anyway, so the concert lasted close to two hours and afterward we waited 45 minutes to meet Joel...again. I of course (Holly) just had to ask if he remembered me from Winchester (you can read the entire story here...which you should :) ). Guess what y'all? He did!!! In fact, he gave me a high five and said "Rock on! I can tell that it's been loved." You all, if I could just describe the feeling. alkdsjbzskjdfng!!! The icing on the concert cake was that they opened the show with my FAVORITE song, "To the Dreamers". Give it a listen. You will be encouraged! :)
Like we said, last night was the third time we've seen them this year, and it just blows me away at how much more I fall in love with their music, their message, their stories, every time I see them. I'll say it again: if you have not yet seen them live, you really need to. I'm serious.

Schtuff Twin girls say: Volume 6
Off we pop with some more funnies!
Holly: She sounds like Lady Gaga with a cold. I heard that song on the radio today. "I'M SO FAAAAANCY." Iggy...Petunia I think.
Kelly: I thought it was Iggy Azalea.
Kelly: (after Holly said something not so nice. Not inappropriate. Just not nice) Holly. Say something else. That's not a nice word.
Holly: ....Trees
Kelly: So if I wanted a cup of hot chocolate but then put it in the fridge, wouldn't that just be chocolate milk?
Holly: ...that's deep.
Holly: I think Malcolm Tucker would be a good psych patient.
Holly: (talking about King Solomon). I think it's fair to say he fell off the wagon.
Kelly: Actually, he pitched himself off the wagon and the wagon ran him over.
(a typed conversation)
Holly: That is my pick. !
Kelly: ~
Kelly: Q crap! (I was trying to type !)
Holly: lol whaaaa?
Kelly: !
Holly: UMQRA?
Holly: I just really want to get fat and bake stuff this weekend.
Kelly: Sonic tater tots make me weak!
Kelly: (while watching a classic Doctor Who) O Dalek, my Dalek.
Holly: Why is it called Banana Republic? Why not, like, Watermelon Republic or something?
Kelly: Can someone please give Peter Capaldi a BAFTA?
Holly: I think he already has one?
Kelly: Well, give him another one!
Holly: Yoda is sleeping on your wrist brace. (a few minutes later) Maybe the cats sleep on our things so they can feel close to us. Like when you're dating a guy in high school and you sleep in his hoodie or something.
Kelly: So...Yoda wants to be close to my smelly, sweaty disgusting wrist brace?
Holly: Precisely.
Holly: (while making brownies) I just snorted pumpkin pie spice.
Holly: Yoda always seems so excited after using the litter box. She just runs out.
Kelly: I peed!
Kelly: (while petting Wiley) Hi there, pretty girl. (Holly realized my mistake)
Holly: Uh...that's Wiley.
Kelly: (in pet voice) I sorry, handsome boy. (He purred)
Kelly: Can we go see for KING & COUNTRY now?
Holly: (while driving to ALEP) Uh...we're 1.7 miles away and there's still no food.
Holly: (carrying Wiley out of the garage) Wiley, you are a vast expanse of cat.
Kelly: (while hiking, to the tune of "Hey Jude"). Hey dude....don't wanna fall.
Kelly: Have you ever heard-
Holly: No. Probably not.
Kelly: (to Holly regarding twitter). You have the best hashtags.
Bonus from our dad:
Kelly: You say potato, I say potahto.
Dad: If anyone pronounces it that way I don't want to be their friend.
Kelly: So if I wanted a cup of hot chocolate but then put it in the fridge, wouldn't that just be chocolate milk?

Getting to Know us!
A friend of ours posted a challenge by a friend of hers, titled "Getting to know me." So here's ours! :D
1. What is a nickname only your family calls you?
Kelly: Opal. Well, only my dad calls me that. It started when I was a kid. Still stuck
Holly: My dad calls me H, which has been a recent thing. H-bomb when I was younger.
2. What is a weird habit of yours?
Kelly: If I remember it I'll put it on here.
Holly: I chew on the insides of my cheek (gross, I know). I still bite my nails too. It's probably why I'm still single :P
3. Do you have any weird phobias?
Kelly: Stinging bugs. Any of them. I am pretty sure I'm borderline phobic of them. When I grew up if there was one in my bedroom I couldn't kill it because I was too scared. This stemmed after I got stung by a wasp under my nose when I was a kid. And after one that I squished stung me on my foot. And after stepping on a bee in the garage while I was washing my parent's car.
Holly: I am terrified of breaking down in Lexington. This isn't a joke either. Cray cray drivers up there. Ok, this may be a joke, so I wouldn't go so far as to call it a phobia. I don't really have any phobias, but I am afraid of falling. Yes, that is different than being afraid of heights.
4. What is a song you secretly like to blast to when you are alone?
Kelly: I still now and then listen to N*SYNC and Backstreet Boys. Not ashamed whatsoever.
Holly: "Fix My Eyes" by for KING & COUNTRY is pretty much default nowadays. And not a secret! I like "Pompeii" by Bastille, although the premise is really sad. And if "What's Love Got to Do With It", oh, it's on. I have others, but I'd like to maintain some of my dignity ;)
5. What is one of your biggest pet peeves?
Kelly: Close-mindedness. Bottom line.
Holly: I have several, unfortunately, but one that really grinds my gears is drivers that don't use a turn signal. AAAGGHHH!!
6. What's one of your nervous habits?
Kelly: Fidgeting, that's the most common one. Also, I act really stupid/giggly.
Holly: Bouncing my legs when I'm sitting. Used to drive my mom nuts.
7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
Kelly: My bed is a twin bed, but when I'm out or in a bigger bed, usually the right side.
Holly: My left, your right, depending on your perspective :)
8. What was your first stuffed animal and what was its name?
Kelly: It didn't have a name, but it was this raggedy bear with googly eyes. It was our brother's and (I think) our mom's too. It's at our Ohio house. I think at one point it was called Ginger.
Holly: I can't remember my first stuffed friend, but I have one from when I was 7 that I still sleep with: a ratty terrier-looking dog from the Columbus Zoo. I call her Ashley. She's been lots of places.
9. What's the drink you always order at Starbucks?
Kelly: Either a grande cafe vanilla frappucino or grande cafe espresso frappucino. Then the usual pumpkin spice when they're in season.
Holly: Pumpkin spice latte when they're around, no questions. Other than that, either a grande cafe vanilla frappucino, a grande valencia orange refresher with vanilla, or a blonde roast with cream and sugar. Sometimes I like a caramel apple spice. As you can tell, I frequent Starbucks :)
10. Which way do you face the shower?
Kelly: Uhhhhhh...I'm not really sure how to answer this question. So I suppose I will say no comment.
Holly: I reject this question and substitute my own. Which....I will think of later.
11. Do you have any weird body skills?
Kelly: This question made me LOL. But no. No I don't.
Holly: Kelly didn't mention it, but we can do this silly foot dance thing that our mom taught us. Ask us about it sometime!
12. What is your favorite comfort food that you know is bad but you eat it anyway?
Kelly: Chocolate. ANYTHING chocolate.
Holly: Well, I just finished a bowl of Edy's mint cookie crunch, so.......
13. What is a phrase or exclamation you always say?
Kelly: Either "Allons-y, Allonso!" or "Oh my glob." If I really sat down and thought about it then I could think of more.
Holly: If I hear something awesome or crazy, I say "get out." Actually, it's more like "GET OUT!" Kelly has been on the receiving end of this quite often.
14. What do you wear when you go to sleep?
Kelly: Sometimes my scrub pants from work. I only have one actual set of PJ's. But usually just whatever.
Holly: Usually just a big t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Cute PJ pants when it gets cooler :)
15. What did you used to wear that you thought was cool, and now you realize it wasn't?
Kelly: Oh my gosh, does anybody remember those fugly plastic shoes/sandals from the 90's? Totally had a pair of those. HACK.
Holly: Not really so much "wearing", but when I was in high school I used to wear a ton of eye makeup. You know, the black mascara, black eyeliner, metallic eyeshadow. I was so into it, and looking through old pictures now a few years later it just looks terrible. I rarely wear makeup now, but when I do I prefer the natural approach.
1. What is a nickname only your family calls you?
Kelly: Opal. Well, only my dad calls me that. It started when I was a kid. Still stuck
Holly: My dad calls me H, which has been a recent thing. H-bomb when I was younger.

6. What's one of your nervous habits?
Kelly: Fidgeting, that's the most common one. Also, I act really stupid/giggly.
Holly: Bouncing my legs when I'm sitting. Used to drive my mom nuts.
7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
Kelly: My bed is a twin bed, but when I'm out or in a bigger bed, usually the right side.
Holly: My left, your right, depending on your perspective :)
8. What was your first stuffed animal and what was its name?
Kelly: It didn't have a name, but it was this raggedy bear with googly eyes. It was our brother's and (I think) our mom's too. It's at our Ohio house. I think at one point it was called Ginger.
Holly: I can't remember my first stuffed friend, but I have one from when I was 7 that I still sleep with: a ratty terrier-looking dog from the Columbus Zoo. I call her Ashley. She's been lots of places.
9. What's the drink you always order at Starbucks?
Kelly: Either a grande cafe vanilla frappucino or grande cafe espresso frappucino. Then the usual pumpkin spice when they're in season.
Holly: Pumpkin spice latte when they're around, no questions. Other than that, either a grande cafe vanilla frappucino, a grande valencia orange refresher with vanilla, or a blonde roast with cream and sugar. Sometimes I like a caramel apple spice. As you can tell, I frequent Starbucks :)
10. Which way do you face the shower?
Kelly: Uhhhhhh...I'm not really sure how to answer this question. So I suppose I will say no comment.
Holly: I reject this question and substitute my own. Which....I will think of later.
11. Do you have any weird body skills?
Kelly: This question made me LOL. But no. No I don't.
Holly: Kelly didn't mention it, but we can do this silly foot dance thing that our mom taught us. Ask us about it sometime!
12. What is your favorite comfort food that you know is bad but you eat it anyway?
Kelly: Chocolate. ANYTHING chocolate.
Holly: Well, I just finished a bowl of Edy's mint cookie crunch, so.......
13. What is a phrase or exclamation you always say?
Kelly: Either "Allons-y, Allonso!" or "Oh my glob." If I really sat down and thought about it then I could think of more.
Holly: If I hear something awesome or crazy, I say "get out." Actually, it's more like "GET OUT!" Kelly has been on the receiving end of this quite often.
14. What do you wear when you go to sleep?
Kelly: Sometimes my scrub pants from work. I only have one actual set of PJ's. But usually just whatever.
Holly: Usually just a big t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Cute PJ pants when it gets cooler :)
15. What did you used to wear that you thought was cool, and now you realize it wasn't?
Kelly: Oh my gosh, does anybody remember those fugly plastic shoes/sandals from the 90's? Totally had a pair of those. HACK.
Holly: Not really so much "wearing", but when I was in high school I used to wear a ton of eye makeup. You know, the black mascara, black eyeliner, metallic eyeshadow. I was so into it, and looking through old pictures now a few years later it just looks terrible. I rarely wear makeup now, but when I do I prefer the natural approach.

30 Days of Doctor Who: Favorite Doctor Gadget and Favorite Interview
Holly: I love the TARDIS. Seriously, I do.
I don't even know where to begin. What I wouldn't give for a magical blue box of my own? I love all the sounds and quirks it has (I have to agree with Eleven, that "sound" is glorious...and if I have to explain, then you'll just never know). I LOVED "The Doctor's Wife"; the TARDIS personified- basically nothing short of brilliant (and a wee bit...ok a lot bit...sad too!). Bigger on the inside, that impeccable blue color, I love it all! We watched "An Adventure in Space and Time" last night (side note, if you have not watched that yet and claim to be a Who fan, SHAME ON YOU. WATCH IT ASAP. It is brilliant and beautiful and will make you do all kinds of feely happy warm fuzzy things at the end. Ok, I'm done. Shew, that Coke Zero is kicking in BIG. TIME, y'all)....anyway, we watched that last night and we got to see the very first TARDIS, in color! I freaked out big time. Someone get me a TARDIS, please?
My favorite interview....it's just over a year old (2013) and it's David Tennant and some other I'm guessing British celebs. There's a sketch bit in the beginning, and I will warn you, the beginning is a bit on the inappropriate side. But the rest of the interview is absolutely charming and delightful....much like our favorite Doctor :)
DT interview (non-inappropriate stuff starts at 1:40)
Kelly: Something I wish I could have should I need it; psychic paper. What it is is that when The Doctor has it, it's just blank. But when he shows it to someone its whatever he wants the viewer to see. For example, in one episode someone asked who he was and he flashed it and said he was an undercover cop from Scotland Yard (I think that was from The Unicorn and the Wasp). However, sometimes the paper doesn't do what its supposed to and it gets caught in its bluff. One kid just saw a bunch of squiggly lines...now I really can't remember what episode that was from. Something, like I said, that would be very useful to have.
My favorite interview is HILARIOUS. Freema Agyeman, aka Martha from Season 3 and a tiny bit of 4, is on the radio doing an interview on the radio where listeners call in and ask questions. She gets a call from "Derek" who ends up being a bit of a creeper. It is later revealed who "Derek" is and is quite hilarious (actually the title of the YouTube clip gives it away but you probably could have figured it out.) And it's just audio but you'll get the jist of it pretty quickly. "Derek" comes in around 3 minutes into the video.

30 Days of Doctor Who: Favorite quote and favorite Doctor catchphrase
Kelly: So you have now realized that yes this is 30 days, but not 30 consecutive days. Haha. Anyway, with this we each picked our favorite "serious" so called quote and then our favorite funny one. So enjoy.
"We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one."
Though it's from my least favorite season of the show, this was one of my favorites. In the scene where he speaks this, The Doctor is talking to a sleeping young Amy, putting her to bed and telling her of her new life, all the while knowing that she'll forget him, as time has been rewritten. It makes me think about where my story is heading, and if I'm doing my best to be the person that God wants me to be. I sometimes wonder how my story will end; with God or elsewhere? Only He knows that. And I am trying my hardest to make my story a good one, as he would say. Challenge accepted for some of you readers I presume. And now for the funny bit.
"Do you know why? Because you're so thick! You're Mister Thick Thick Thickety Thick Face from Thicktown, Thickania. And so is your dad."
Oy. Had to pull up the transcript to make sure I got it right. This silly blunder is from one of my favorite episodes, The Girl in the Fireplace, and to me it shows 10's silliness along with his "charm," if you want to call it that. But ahhh, we love him so. He has so many funny one liners.
Holly: Guys, this show has some KICK. BUTT. writing. I mean, woah. I have waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too many favorite quotes. But I'll be good and do my two-part.
"We all change, when you think about it. We're all different people, all through our lives, and that's ok, that's good! You've got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people you used to be."
So....yeah, I love this quote. We hear this from Eleven literally as he's about to regenerate. Talk about irony, huh? SAD and wonderful irony. I am so thankful that I am not the person I used to be, but oftentimes I think of where I was and who I used to be...what a difference! A good one, though. Sometimes we just want to blaze through life and forget about all the stupid stuff we did, the bad choices we made, the things we didn't say, what have you. I think, in order for us as people to move forward, we have to humble ourselves and remember that we weren't always where we are now, and usually, at least in my experience, it's for the best.
"Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm trying to save the world?"
Let's face it, Nine doesn't get much love. Which is a shame, in my opinion. This line is gold. Solid gold. Every time I watch that ep I always have to go back and rewind that part.
And I think our favorite catchphrase is a phrase that should be used in everyday common speech.

30 Days of Doctor Who: Favorite friendship/Favorite spoof
Holly: All together now: "Doctor Donna, friend! Doctor Donna, friend! Doctor Donna, friend!"
In terms of comic relief, these two definitely take the cake- they bicker and nitpick each other so much it's almost like watching an old married couple, which they actually get mistaken for a time or two. A married couple, not an "old" married couple.....ANYWAY. They go on some pretty wild adventures together. Donna gets to meet Martha, the Doctor's "daughter", and even Rose! Though the story has a terribly heartbreaking ending, it's still a hoot to watch them. Plus, without Donna, you don't get Wilf, which....oh Lord. If you don't love Wilf, you're wrong. End of discussion.
Kelly: You see, I have a different take on the first pairing; The Doctor and Rose.
Yes, I do believe that without a doubt they loved each other. However I don't think it was always so. Like any couple starting out and wondering if there is "something more," it's like meeting a new friend. Especially with Rose and Ten; she had to re learn to trust, believe and ultimately love a new face all over again. Again, I think that they did love each other, yes, but I think their love was a brother/sister/looking out for each other love...that is, until Journey's End. And when you think about it, when someone gets married, they "marry their best friend." So that's the way I see it. It's a love, like a romantic love, but I think they also have a "best buddy" sort of love, if that makes sense. You see their relationship flourish throughout seasons 1 and 2, and you're just like oh my GOSH. I hope to have that with someone one day. They don't come right out and say "I love you," well....ok, there was once...SPOILERS. But it is sweet nonetheless. They complete each other. And you know what else is so great? They hit it off in real life and to my knowledge are still friends today. Now isn't that just super awesome?
Our favorite spoof/spin off is one that I stumbled upon while just browsing the world wide web one day. No, we haven't seen Torchwood or the Sarah Jane Chronicles or any of the animated stuff, and we're still undecided about whether or not we want to delve into those yet. Anyway, this one we found is called The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot. It was created by David Tennant's wife Georgia for the 50th Anniversary celebration of the show. It's in the style of The Office; as a "mockumentary/drama" sort of thing, and it's just goofy and fun. It features just about everyone who's been on the show, and it takes a look at some of the older doctors and "what they've done post Doctor Who" since they have hung up their keys to the TARDIS. It's only 30 minutes long, and if you are a fan of Who definitely take a look at it; if you just google it you should be able to find it. Please enjoy.

30 Days of Doctor Who: Funniest and scariest episode
Day 11: Funniest episode
Day 12: Scariest episode
Holly: I'm being scandalous and combining days again. Deal with it. :P
There are a ton of funny episodes in my opinion...Doctor Who really is quite funny, and I was surprised at first. Now I just kind of expect humor at some point, even if it's just a chuckle. One funny ep that sticks out to me is "Aliens of London", which is waayy back in season 1 with Nine. What makes it funny to me is that it features the Slitheen, which are just an absolutely ridiculous alien species. Ridiculous. It also is littered with excellent one-liners, my favorite one being "Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" In fact there's quite a few fart jokes thrown in there. I'm so mature, I know. It's just so silly and ridiculous and unexpected that it's funny. I enjoy it, personally. But that's just me.

Now, scariest, and I think this is a tie for Kelly and I.
"Blink." Hands down. Features the Weeping Angels, which we've mentioned in earlier posts. This is the episode in which they first appear. Oh my gosh. It's creepy, but not like Psycho cut-people-up creepy. Creepy as in sends-a-little-tingle-down-your-spine creepy. The last time I watched it, I was by myself, which is something I do not recommend. If you're new to the Who fandom, "Blink" tells the story of Sally Sparrow who receives a message from The Doctor (not heavily featured in this episode) from 1969 warning her of the Weeping Angels. "Don't blink," a recorded video message says, "Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead." Through it all she encounters the Weeping Angels and even finds herself in the TARDIS (oh my gosh that scene freaks me out. SPOILERS). It's a bloody brilliant episode. But it is legit scary. And Sally Sparrow is awesome.
Kelly: I really won't add too much, except that I LOVE New Earth as a funny one! New Earth was the 10th Doctor's and Rose's first adventure together where they travel to New New York and discover some not so good things going on. I will post a video at the end of this as to why I think it's so freaking funny. However, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship from Season 7 was rather amusing too. Granted, the plot was downright awful but the dialogue was great and there were so many great one liners! Definitely one I'm going to go back to if I have a really crappy day. Often with this show, I sit and wonder how in the world these writers come up with what they do. It's freaking brilliant! This show has some of the best writing; funny, sad, heart breaking and heart warming. Sometimes all in one episode. Anywho, that's about all. The video below is when evil lady Cassandra possesses the 10th Doctor. She has quite a few choice words to say about her new body...quite humorous. Enjoy. :)

30 Days of Doctor Who: Favorite Special
Holly: The End of Time. Hands down. Although I haven't watched it since we watched it for the first time back in February. Kelly watched it not too long ago and she says it's still as good as we remember it to be. I don't want to ramble on and on and give too much away, but for any of you new fans who are still tredging their way through Ten's run and have fallen in love with him as much as we have...yeah, you're in for a doozy. Basically a non-stop emotional roller coaster that lasts for 2 hours and then time afterwards: I laughed, I held my breath, I yelled, I cried (yes, you read that correctly). It was shot beautifully, written beautifully, Ten's exit was pretty much as close to perfect as it gets. It's a different side of Ten, too; he's much more despondent, almost as if he knows his time is coming to an end. It's absolutely mesmerizing (and SAD!!!!) to watch.
Now I feel like I need to sit down and watch it again. Lord have mercy!
 |
| "I don't wanna go." Spoilers. |
Kelly: There are so many good specials to pick just one. A Christmas Carol from season 6 is up there on the list. I really enjoy that each season begins with a Christmas special. I have to say though, that my favorite is still the first one that I saw; The Christmas Invasion. It's 10's first on-screen episode, and though he has minimal screen time, it's still a good introduction to his character. Plus there are so many funny and witty parts that are symbolic of 10's personality that you pick up on right from the start and Rose really shows as a companion. She has to think like him when he's not there to save the world and has to trust this new face and new personality...SPOILERS. I've watched it probably half a dozen times and will probably never tire of it.
In fact, me thinks I might pop it in sometime this week and re watch it, just because I enjoy it so much. So that's all. That's all I have to say about The Christmas Invasion.

Boredom buster on a Saturday evening: H and K play MASH.
Holly and Kelly: We were perusing a list of topics for when in a blogging "rut". This is the idea we agreed on. Does anybody remember this game????????
We are also 24 years old and have absolutely no shame.
We laughed more unnecessarily than should be allowed on planet Earth.
Here is Kelly's post round 2 future: living in a house in Glasgow, with Robert Downey Jr as the hubs, driving a Tesla, working as a social worker with 2 kiddos. Again, not bad.
There you have it, folks. Some 24 year olds meet up with friends and go out for drinks or go see a movie. Nope. We play MASH.
We are also 24 years old and have absolutely no shame.
 |
| Holly, round 1: Just for clarification, Mr. C is Benedict Cumberbatch and DT is David Tennant. |
 |
| Kelly, round 1 |
At the conclusion of round 1, Kelly's preteen indeterminate make believe future was she was to be living in a shack in Edinburgh, with Mr. C as her hubs, getting around in a golf cart, with 2 kiddos and working doing what she does now. Not bad.
At the conclusion of round 1, Holly's silly, faraway yeah right preteen future was that she was to be married to Rory (from Doctor Who), with one munchkin, getting around in a BMW, living in Sydney and working as an author. Pretty sweet.
Needless to say, we decided to play another round.
This is Holly's post round 2 future: getting around in a Fiat, married to K9 (again, from Doctor Who...she'd have to get used to be getting referred to as "Mistress"), with 2 kiddies, living in New York City and working as a florist. Oh, and living in a shack. Domestic bliss at its absolute finest.
There you have it, folks. Some 24 year olds meet up with friends and go out for drinks or go see a movie. Nope. We play MASH.

Something funny....or a few funny things.
Kelly: So today we thought it would be funny if we tickled our funny bones. Not that either of us have had a bad day/week, but still. Sometimes you just need to post some random funny things. Plus we just watched a pretty intense episode of Doctor Who...go figure. MOFFAT! The first funny bit is from a series 5 episode titled The Lodger. It was my favorite from the season, but overall I thought the season was just kind of meh. I thought this episode was witty, fun and cute. This bit made me laugh so much.
Have some rent
Then today, I re-watched the movie Holes, which is one I watched often growing up. I remember seeing it in theaters when it came out with Holly and our mom. GET ME A WRENCH, READ MY LIPS, GET ME A WRENCH! So many good one liners. Found myself quoting it often, but yes. An all around good movie. Ok so most of our funny stuff is pertaining to Doctor Who, but oh well. Enjoy it anyway. I also stumbled upon something on Facebook that was trending. Apparently Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have been in New York for quite some time working on a play....sadly I can't remember which one. Anyway, they posted this ridiculous but hilarious compilation of pictures from their trip. I have posted the link below.
Patrick and Ian in New York
Holly: I like laughing. It's one of my favorite things to do. We hope you enjoy our funny things :)
Can you hold? I have to eat a biscuit.
And this (fun fact: the first season with the Eleventh Doctor, as I just learned, aired four years ago TODAY. Wow, time flies. We were still in school)
Fish fingers and custard
I haven't stopped laughing at this in about a week.

Schtuff twin girls say, volume 5 (with guest appearances by Brittany the roommate/friend)
And away we go!
Kelly: (singing to the tune of "I'm Gonna Be 500 Miles"): I hate chopping onions and I hate chopping onions more!
Holly: Oh my gosh! Somebody call Nicholas Sparks! (If you want the full story ask) :)
Kelly: Holly, I'll give you $1 if you can spell "Raxacoricofallapatorius"
Holly: R-a-x-a-c-o-r-i-c-o-f-a-l-l-a-p-o-t-o-r-i-u-s? Well? (mind you, had to ask for the pronunciation a lot too)
Kelly: (brief pause) Yeah...you were off by one letter. I'm going to give it to you.
Holly: (talking about kids) We were talking about at work that we wish there would just be a rubber room where you could hose them down.
Holly: (Yoda is on her lap, kneading) Wow Yoda. That feels good. It's right on my sore calf.
Brittany: I don't think that's your calf.
Kelly: Uh dear....that's your thigh.
Holly: Wow, yeah you're right. Guys, I promise I'm a biology major.
Holly: So I looked up those autographed cards. They're 24 pounds. I love David Tennant but I don't love him that much.
Kelly: (in a span of about 2 minutes apart). Yoda, why are you attacking nothing? Yoda, let's not try to climb up the wall please.
Kelly: (calling Holly at work; left her wallet at home) I'm going to have pop because I'm pissed at myself.
Brittany: Holly, if you want to come sit on my bed and watch Ponyo with me, you can!
(We were listening to "Song of Freedom" from the Doctor Who soundtrack)
Holly: I just want to listen to a scene from Journey's End. Not watch; just listen. (Pulls up on Youtube and we read the video descriptions)
Kelly: NO. WE'RE DONE! STOP! WE'RE DONE!
(while watching Jeopardy, the clue was the German word for "Rich")
Holly: Reich
Kelly: You're a creep (proceeded by a large laughing fit from both of us)
Kelly: Scotland makes beautiful things.
Holly: Can we get an Ood? I want one.
Kelly: Yeah, I wouldn't even have it do anything.
Holly: I'd just keep it over there (points to a corner in the living room)
Kelly: Stand or sit?
Holly: No, I'd give it a chair.
Kelly: I'm just saying, if I ever married someone with the last name of Who, I'd get my PhD.
Holly: I know! I feel like I'd be doing a disservice to society if I didn't.
Holly: It's spreadable chocolate oh my gosh!
(while waiting for our dryer to arrive):
Kelly: I don't remember what it looks like.
Kelly: Three great things come out of Easter: the resurrection of Jesus, Peeps, and Cadbury Eggs.
(talking about a work incident):
Holly: So what did she kick you with?
Kelly: Uh...her foot.
Kelly: (singing to the tune of "I'm Gonna Be 500 Miles"): I hate chopping onions and I hate chopping onions more!
Holly: Oh my gosh! Somebody call Nicholas Sparks! (If you want the full story ask) :)
Kelly: Holly, I'll give you $1 if you can spell "Raxacoricofallapatorius"

Holly: (Yoda is on her lap, kneading) Wow Yoda. That feels good. It's right on my sore calf.
Brittany: I don't think that's your calf.
Kelly: Uh dear....that's your thigh.
Holly: Wow, yeah you're right. Guys, I promise I'm a biology major.
Holly: So I looked up those autographed cards. They're 24 pounds. I love David Tennant but I don't love him that much.
Kelly: (in a span of about 2 minutes apart). Yoda, why are you attacking nothing? Yoda, let's not try to climb up the wall please.
Kelly: (calling Holly at work; left her wallet at home) I'm going to have pop because I'm pissed at myself.
Brittany: Holly, if you want to come sit on my bed and watch Ponyo with me, you can!
(We were listening to "Song of Freedom" from the Doctor Who soundtrack)
Holly: I just want to listen to a scene from Journey's End. Not watch; just listen. (Pulls up on Youtube and we read the video descriptions)
Kelly: NO. WE'RE DONE! STOP! WE'RE DONE!
(while watching Jeopardy, the clue was the German word for "Rich")
Holly: Reich
Kelly: You're a creep (proceeded by a large laughing fit from both of us)
Kelly: Scotland makes beautiful things.
Holly: Can we get an Ood? I want one.
Kelly: Yeah, I wouldn't even have it do anything.
Holly: I'd just keep it over there (points to a corner in the living room)
Kelly: Stand or sit?
Holly: No, I'd give it a chair.
Kelly: I'm just saying, if I ever married someone with the last name of Who, I'd get my PhD.
Holly: I know! I feel like I'd be doing a disservice to society if I didn't.
Holly: It's spreadable chocolate oh my gosh!
(while waiting for our dryer to arrive):
Kelly: I don't remember what it looks like.
Kelly: Three great things come out of Easter: the resurrection of Jesus, Peeps, and Cadbury Eggs.
(talking about a work incident):
Holly: So what did she kick you with?
Kelly: Uh...her foot.

Winter feelings
Holly and Kelly: 2 days ago it was in the mid-40s and sunny! Yesterday it got to 49 with some more sun. This morning we woke up to yet another round of snow (albeit not much, but still...AAGGHH). This winter we have had more below-freezing days than we can remember. We've had many mornings where it was below zero (yeah, -5 is not fun). We've gotten REALLY good at driving ourselves out of skids, slides, black ice, crappy roads, etc. We've had many close calls of wiping out on icy sidewalks, parking lots, front steps. We've had near $150 electric bills (now that doesn't seem like much, but when our average bill is $50-60, yeah, that's a sucker punch to the checkbook). Basically if we see any more snow we're going to go nuclear.
IT IS WARMER IN LONDON ENGLAND RIGHT NOW THAN BEREA KENTUCKY. Just let that sink in.
We've had it with this winter crap, so now we're going to poke fun at it. Enjoy these pieces of humor on your Saturday morning, wherever in the world you may be (Fun fact, just checked the 10-day...supposed to be in the 50s by Monday! Holla!!)

Schtuff twin girls say, volume 4 (Brittany makes return appearances)
And we're at it again...
Kelly: I would love to be a Hobbit. Just for a day or two or ten.
Brittany: You could house sit while Bilbo goes on his adventure.
Holly: He WAS gone for 13 months.
Kelly: I could!!!! Oh my gosh I would totally do that.
Brittany: I would love to have tea with them.
Holly: I would love to take them to Orange leaf. I could just see them standing over there like "aahhhhhhhhh" because they love food.
Kelly: Honey, I do that when we go there.
Kelly: Brittany, I keep telling Holly about all the stuff that's at Plato's Closet because she keeps asking me.
Brittany: They really do have everything.
Kelly: Except scrubs.
Holly: Or puppies. So they don't have everything!
Holly: Devin (other guy I work with) thinks Wiley's gay.
Brittany: Why?
Holly: Because he likes to lay on shoes, and my purse, and all that...'
Brittany: Nah, I'd say he's more like Smaug. They're his treasures!
Dead. Holly died. XD
(A few minutes after the above conversation)
Holly: (notices Wiley laying on her shoes) Wiley, are you Smaug? Are you guarding your treasure?
(Wiley purrs)
Kelly: (while watching America's Funniest Home Videos) Ok, that HAD to have been photo shopped. Or video shopped. Or whatever the video equivalent of photo shop is.
Kelly: (watching an Arby's commercial). Au jus. Au jus. Au jus sauce. Au jus. Bless you. (Holly proceeded to laugh so hard she snorted).
Holly: I'm officially in cell-phone limbo. I'm in cell phone purgatory. I'm scared.
Holly: (in reference to Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, who are often photographed together) I don't see how the world just hasn't blown up because of their awesome.
Brittany: Come on Wiles, let's get crunk.
Kelly: German just sounds like a very angry language.
(while out with friends, one of whom is a photographer. She asked if we felt pretty)
Holly: (taking a large spoonful of ice cream) No, I feel fat.
Holly: I feel bad for Gollum because he doesn't eat.
Brittany: No wonder he's losing his hair.
Holly: Well there's Aragog, then Aragorn and Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon.
Kelly: It's like different tenses.
Brittany: Oh Wiles, why are you so cute? You have such a handsome face, like Liam Neeson.
Holly: (after watching the DoS TV spots) Smaug kind of sounds like Darth Vader.
Kelly: I'm already ready for bed tomorrow.
Brittany: Oh look, boyfriend is calling. (picks up phone). Hello, boyfriend. (short pause). Yes, this is girlfriend, how may I help you?
Kelly: Peter Jackson! (while watching Jeopardy)
Holly: Um, Kelly, the category is Female New Zealand Directors.
Kelly: I would love to be a Hobbit. Just for a day or two or ten.
