Kristen Sudela

2009-10-24T15:42:00.004-05:00

Today I'm writing about Kristen Sudela, who could possibly be the funniest woman I know.

She's the cutest person I know who can wear a bike helmet while drinking wine...

She can pull off any accessory....

She's a proud Texan who loves country music as much as I do...

She's an awesome dancer...

She was the best maid of honor I could ask for!

*I may have been requested to write something about her for a contest she is doing at work.

Happy 50th Birthday Mom!

#2. Gmail cut my account off because of sending 56,000 emails to publicize my Cross Cheer Fall Camps (http://www.crosscheer.com/camps.html)

#1. I just haven't been in the blogging mood...speaking of, who remembers mood rings?

Radio TIVO

2009-08-21T14:05:00.004-05:00

So, the other day I told Kyle that I wished they would come out with TIVO for Radio?

I miss Kidd Kraddick in the morning, now that I live 5 minutes from work, and would love to be able to listen to it on longer afternoon/night car drives!

I just googled TIVO for Radio and turns out a device exists! It's called Radio YourWay...

2009-08-17T18:18:00.000-05:00

Kyle and I's Ranger seats are on the 3rd level of The Ballpark in Arlington. The entrance overlooks the new Cowboy's Stadium. It's fascinating, huge, and exciting!

We will attend the first game in the "Party Pass" Deck on September 20th. These tickets run only $29 each!

GO COWBOYS!

Stovall Cavender Annual Golf Classic

2009-08-16T21:07:00.004-05:00

Kyle, myself and our dads played golf at The Bridges golf course up in Gunter, TX this Saturday. We had a blast and decided that we would make this an annual event on my birthday weekend each year.

My dad and I won "Best Overall Score", Kyle and his dad won "Most Winning Holes" and Kyle won "Most Outrageous Putt" of the day.

Cheap Decor

2009-08-11T11:52:00.001-05:00

This Saturday at my friend Megan's baby shower, I was assigned the duty of bringing flowers. I thought it would be fun to make them out of tissue paper and save a few bucks.

Watch this video on how to construct these beauties!

Hacker

2009-08-10T11:30:00.004-05:00

**NOTICE: My blog was hacked by a Mr. Kyle Cavender.

Please disregard previous post. Though my feelings to the subject matter are consistent with what was written, I did not authorize this boasting on my blog. HA!

I guess that post was proof that he is indeed the Funniest Man I Know.

THE GREATEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD

2009-08-09T11:01:00.003-05:00

MY HUSBAND IS THE BEST. HE IS SUCH A GREAT PERSON AND SO VERY HANDSOME. I LOVE HIM AND ALL OF HIS WONDERFUL QUALITIES. I AM THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD BECAUSE OF HIM. I TRUST HIM WITH ANYTHING...INCLUDING ACCESS TO MY COMPUTER AND MY BLOG. I'M SO GLAD HE IS MINE.

Locusts in the House

2009-08-04T11:11:00.001-05:00

4:30 am Kyle and Brittany wake up to a loud buzzing noise.
4:32 am Kyle discovers and kills locust #1.
4:45 am Steel brings locust #2 in the house.
4:49 am After swatting locust #2 around our bedroom for a few minutes, Steel leaves him right next to Brittany's bedside.
7:02 am Brittany begs Kyle to discard locust #2.

And then she's the one who gets to sleep all day while we are working...

Promo Codes

2009-08-04T08:27:00.002-05:00

I was recently making an order on Edible Arangements.com and it asked for a promo code at checkout. Thinking that I might could find a way to save a few extra $$'s, I googled "Edible Arangement Promo Code" and found this awesome website that lists promotion codes for hundreds of retailers.

Before you buy, search this site for discounts!

The Ugly Truth

2009-08-03T10:23:00.000-05:00

This weekend Kyle and I went and saw the Ugle Truth.

I haven't laughed out loud in a movie as much as I did Saturday night.

This movie is hilarious and a must see (especially for all females) and even Kyle enjoyed it.

*Warning: Some of the ideas presented are not consistent with the Bible, so watch lightly :)

Mod Podge

2009-08-02T22:56:00.004-05:00

I recently had an urge to do something crafty. I had an extra canvas, some 2 yr. old mod podge, and 100+ sweet wedding cards and notes that I didn't want to throw away.

This is what I created:
A Collage of Wedding Mementos!

(Do you see your card front or gift label on here?)

Taylor's Wedding

2009-07-28T00:06:00.006-05:00

My friend Taylor got married this weekend at Delaney Vinyard in Grapevine. It was a beautiful location and this venue has a grape stomping event in August for anyone interested!

Here are some pictures from the wedding.

Steel

2009-07-24T08:51:00.004-05:00

The other day, Steel was rustling around in the pantry. I sneaked around the corner (camera in hand) to see what she was up to and this is what I found.

Noice her bushy tail! She was scared and couldn't get out of the paper towel bag. HA!

Marlee

2009-07-23T14:41:00.002-05:00

Here are pictures of my cute little neice, Marlee!

Did I Ever Tell You You're My Hero

2009-07-17T15:57:00.014-05:00

A couple of nights ago, the Funniest Man I know sang me "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler.

He flapped his wings elegantly in the air. It was beautiful.

Sweet

2009-07-13T15:24:00.010-05:00

The funniest man I know is also the sweetest man I know.

He went to Seattle this weekend and left me this on our kitchen counter before leaving.

Sour Patch Kids always bring a smile to my FACE!

Build-A-Cake

2009-07-10T18:29:00.000-05:00

Strapped for time and need a birthday cake on-the-g0?

Here's an alternative to baking a cake; let Mrs. Baird pile on the fun with a powdered donut birthday cake.

It's easy to serve and FACEs will smile :)

Out in The Wild

2009-07-08T18:56:00.000-05:00

The funniest man I know's mom gave him a whistle to scare off wild animals so they wouldn't attack us on the mountains in Estes Park.

I couldn't pass up posting this hilarious FACE.

Top Ten Things I Learned in Estes Park

2009-07-07T15:10:00.002-05:00

#10 Everytime the Rockies score, the fountains go off at the ball park

#9 There may be absolutely no fish in their lakes

#8 One of the oldest theaters in the US resides in Estes Park

#7 It hails at 3pm in the middle of a beautiful cloudy day

#5 There aren't many port-a-potties on the mountain

#4 The marmots are ugly

#3 The ants are HUGE

#2 There's still snow on the mountains in 70 degree weather

#1 Driving an orange rental car attracts lots of funny FACEs

Beware!

2009-07-06T21:48:00.001-05:00

I'm scared of squirrels (hence the awkward FACE),

But...

The funniest man I know has them eating out of his hand.

Brandon Rhyder, Best TX Country

2009-07-06T14:28:00.000-05:00

Let's FACE It, DFW Sports Nerd spoke correctly when stating that Brandon Rhyder is on of the best TX country artists out there... (ok, I'm a little partial since my husband is the author of that posting)

We went to the Brandon Rhyder concert at Gilley's two weeks ago and he put on a great concert. Check out his music and support this rising TX musician.

Corny Humor

2009-07-05T17:43:00.001-05:00

I love corny jokes.

Here's the best I've got in my line up...

Q: What kind of bees produce milk?

A: BOO BEE's

Q: Why did the blonde bring a ladder to the party?

A: She heard drinks were on the house.

Q: What do you call and illegally parked frog?

A: Toad

Q: What do you call a cow that won't produce milk?

A: A Milk Dud

Put a smile on my FACE and tell me your funny joke!

Best Mexican Food in Tyler, TX

2009-07-03T17:11:00.000-05:00

I ate at Mercados in Tyler, TX last weekend for my friend Taylor's bachelorette party and it was AMAZING. The homemade tortillas brought a smile to my FACE.

It's easily one of my favorite Mexican food places now!

Estes Park, Here We Come

2009-07-02T14:20:00.000-05:00

Kyle and I are headed to Estes Park for the 4th of July. I got my hiking boots and opted out of the expensive North FACE gear - I'm a mountain rebel.

Here's Kyle at Estes Park in 2008!

This is Where I was Last Week!

2009-06-29T20:24:00.003-05:00

What could be more fun than hanging out with these cute FACEs?

The Birds at North Park Mall Eat Fiber Hourly

2009-06-25T17:47:00.004-05:00

Avoid parking under any trees at Northpark Mall.

I parked to watch Transformers for 3 hours and then returned to find my car transformed into a white splatter painted masterpiece.

Good Bye Reunion Arena

2009-06-24T21:04:00.003-05:00

The FACE of Reunion looks a little different. I was driving downtown and saw that Reunion Arena is pretty much demolished. Internet articles say that demolition should finish by September and will cost around $6Million total!!

Speak Up, It Pays!

2009-06-23T09:16:00.001-05:00

So, I'm not great at demanding quality and speaking up when I'm not happy with service, but my confidence was up this week and on two occasions my bravery was rewarded.

Case Study #1: Wolf Camera

I had a few wedding pictures printed at Wolf on Preston & Forest. There were tiny scratches on many of the 4x6's and an 8x10 black and white had pink coloring on the edge. I called the store back to report the issue with plans of bringing the damaged prints in the next day to be reprinted. Instead, they reprinted my ENTIRE order and it was ready early the next morning. Double the prints for 1/2 the price! Good customer service Wolf!

Case Study #2: Frosted Art Bakery

Frosted Art was the baker for my wedding cake. Long story short, look at the awful monogram on the cake below. My FACE cringes every time I look back at this elegant cake with kidprint font. Poor quality from the "city's finest" Needless to say, I got up the nerve to send the chef pictures and my disatisfaction with the quality. Bronwen called me the following day offering her apologies and a 10% refund on the cake. Every little bit helps!

New Project

2009-06-21T08:06:00.001-05:00

My next project will be to paint our early 90's wallpapered master bathroom.

Does anyone recommend a good way to remove wallpaper?

Let's FACE it, I need help!

He Was in a Singing Mood

2009-06-20T12:53:00.000-05:00

This morning, the funniest man I know awoke serenading me "Say My Name" from Destiny's Child album in 1999. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vucPGTAQvGI

Then he started singing an opera version of Black Eyed Pea's Boom Boom Pow.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIK-U6ZfyYE

I guess he was in a singing mood. He brings a smile to my FACE.

Let Us Fix Our Eyes on the Cross

2009-06-19T10:40:00.009-05:00

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

-Hebrews 12:2

This is my favorite wedding picture. Besides capturing the landscape of our ceremony beautifully and symetrically, the symbolism is sweet...both of our FACEs are hidden behind the cross with hands held.

Helmut Walker Photography captured our wedding perfectly!

2009-06-18T23:20:00.001-05:00

Weekly I recieve a trend watching newsletter with great new ideas and cool happenings from around the world.

Steel Learns to Use a Doggy Door

2009-06-18T17:48:00.008-05:00

Steel was born March 26, 2008.

She entered my life on May 23, 2008.

She entered our new home on January 15, 2009.

She exited our doggy door sometime in March.

Our doggy door is the most fun thing about our house. The pets love it.

I recommend a doggy door for every home with pets. If you want to install your own, just watch this 3 minute video or call Hale if you are in Dallas!

Did I mention that Kyle is allergic to cats?

Rain Dancer

2009-06-17T22:12:00.009-05:00

OK, I got it.

I'll talk about the funniest man I know who happens to be living in my house.

This morning, he put indian war paint on his FACE
(aka anti wrinkle cream) and did a rain dance in our bathroom.

He makes me laugh.

I extended him an offer to write funny editorials for this blog.

Tune in to see if he accepts.

Blog Fright

2009-06-17T21:14:00.006-05:00

So, I'm having blog fright (see footnote). You can see it in my FACE.

There's lots of pressure. It's my first blog post. It must be great if any of you are going to follow me. I could start with the predictable corny "Brittany" joke, but that would only gain me the following of 3rd-5th graders.

What to post?

It All Begins

2009-06-17T20:13:00.003-05:00

My Ninetendo DS broke this morning.

After crying for several hours with tears running down my FACE, I decided I needed a new hobby to take up my time.

So, I started this blog. Enjoy!
