Funny Quotes!

Well, since I have had an insistance of people (it's a like a flock of geese, or a pride of lions) begging, demanding etc. for me to do a new blog post, I decided, in a last ditch attempt, to think of a blogging subject. So, I give to you, quotes made by me and my crazy family and friends. Hopefully, they will make you laugh, (because that is the freaking purpose of this blog, for my inner comedian to shine through.)



DannyBoy:

"Ruby, you need 2 things to get by in the real world(since when does a 13 year old boy know anything about "the real world"?) ...a job, a house and a car."



"OK everybody shut up & be quiet! We need to make a suppressed box."




"Why are you and Katie always talking about TR? What's TR? Teddy Roosevelt? You guys talk about Teddy Roosevelt all day?" (Yes, Daniel, that is what normal teenage girls talk about. Actually, it means Teen Randomness)




Monkey:



Doing schoolwork with My baby bro, about 2 years ago, when he was 4.



Me:"Ok...Write the letter S,Gabriel."


G:"Ok, hold on. I have to finish drawing a smiley face on the sun."


Me: (rolls eyes) "Ok, hurry up."


G:(stops drawing) "I don't want to write my letters now. I want to do my math."


Me:(sighs) "Ok...(I get out his book) Write the numbers 8 & 9."


G: "I don't like writing my letters."


Me: (smiles, trying to be patient) "These are numbers."


G: "Oh yeah! I forgot! I'm so stupid!" (laughs hysterically)




"If I put on these boots, you will probably say I'm cute." (Jealous of my complimenting SissyBug's boots)


Making cookies one night...


G:"Ruby, how hot is the oven?"

Me: "Um, it says 185 degrees."

G:(laughs hysterically) "That must be how hot you think The Jonas Brothers are!"


a few minutes later...


G: (acting like he's up to no good)"Ruby, how hot is the oven now?"

Me:"350 degrees, why?"

G:"That must be how hot you think Taylor Lautner is!"(breaks into hysterical laughter)





SissyBug:


"Mommy! Yuby thyew the yope on the yoof!" = "Ruby threw the rope on the roof." (Back when she pronounced all her r's as y's)




S: (drops something) "Oh CRAP."

Dad: "Don't say crap.You're too little to be saying stuff like that."

S:"Crappity...crap,crap, CRAP." (flounces away)




"Ruby, what do you think is better? French kissing or American kissing?" (Not really sure what exactly AMERICAN kissing is but I think it's supposed to be a quick peck on the lips...?)



RubyDoo:



"Ah, I don't get this game! I'm tired and funcused."



"I make all inanimate objects shake in fear!"


"Oh mommy, I'm so 'tarded! *walks right into the wall* "Point proven."

Ok there ARE SO many more quotes that I have, I just can't remember them so I guess this, like the funny pictures, will be a 2 parter!

ENJOY!!!!!! And comment, you little monsters. Oh wait, I'm not Lady Gaga and you are not my fans...

Comment you little...blog followers. ( I gotta come up with a more creative name for you guys)

MORE funny pictures!

YAY FOR ME BLOGGING!! (sorry, I can't help but get excited for myself when I actually blog.)
So I promised more funny pictures, and I got such a wonderful response, (4 out of 6 followers isn't too bad, if I do say so myself.By the way, WHY do I only have 6 followers?! Tell people about me!) that I HAD to post again. (I'm a comment hog by the way...I LIVE for comments)

So without further a due (or is it a do? adieu? I've always wondered, but am too lazy to find out right now.) FUNNY PICTURES, RUBY AND DANNYBOY EDITION! (with some Sissy Bug thrown in)


SissyBug has that new baby "alien" look goin' on. (Yes, I think brand new babies look closer to "alien" rather than "cute". In my opinion, it takes a month or so before they qualify as "cute". SUE ME.) Daniel, being his usual camera loving self. I am looking like the typical dorky 2nd grader (Was there ever a 2nd grader who didn't look dorky? Like seriously...I can't think of one.) Oh and my hair was mostly straight back then.This was several months after my first haircut. (That's right...I was 6 before I got a haircut. I looked like a mushroom after said haircut. Ergo why I did not post any pictures of Ruby Mushroom Head.)



Speaking of brand new babies...Check it out! Ok, so this isn't really that funny (Except for the proof that I am in fact Gabriel's twin sister born 11 years earlier than him.) And though you can't see it, I am an unnaturally huge 3 year old....My sister was 6 before she could fit in my 3 year old clothes. Sissy was a pipsqueak.

Well known Rubyism. If I see the word "yawn", hear someone yawn, hear someone SAY yawn, see someone yawn or even think "yawn"...I WILL yawn.

Ok WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO STICK ME IN THE HIPPO? Could you not see that this was a potentially traumatizing experience?!?! The look of fear on my face is very real...and ok, freaking funny. Note to Parents: CHILDREN DO NOT LIKE TO BE STUCK IN REALISTIC ANIMAL STATUES...EVEN IF THEY CAN'T ACTUALLY EAT THEM. It's freaking scary if you use your imagination. (Which, by the way, Barney the Dinosaur taught me how to do verrrrrry well, and I was using my imagination the time, as indicated by my terrified face.)

What happens when you give a 5 year old batteries to go with the toy you got him...but you wrapped up the batteries like another present? This.





It's my blog so I need to put more pictures of me...YAY FOR ME BEING PRETTY FREAKING CUTE!!! (If I do say so myself...which I do say so myself.) Awwww, look at me with my big blue gun and diaper!!! And look at me with my ultra pinkness and baby Jackson nose!!! And being a total model, as usual. Ruby sees camera. Ruby poses for camera. (Only difference now is "Ruby sees camera, Ruby hides until she finds out if her hair and makeup look good, then poses if they pass qualification of "good".)






















Now for more DannyBoy and me! Aw, look at me talking in the middle of a Christmas picture, most likely suggesting poses to Mom. ("How about I put my arm wike diiiiis?") And me with my gigantic hair. I think I was born like half Rapunzel -Wolf or something. (Do not question my imaginary mythical creatures.) And My NEW baby brother (at the time) looking like he doesn't know what to
think. So he makes the classic "baby Daniel buggy eye face".




And who needs a binky when you can chew on Dad's nose? It never gets lost and it doesn't cost a thing! I'm guessing DannyBoy didn't have teeth yet...otherwise, Dad would've woken up pretty fast. (IF he hadn't drowned from baby drool.) Trust me, I know for a painfully obvious fact, that my brother was very "experienced" with his lil chompers. (Thank God his Terrible Two's only lasted for a couple years.)

My dad stuck a cloth diaper on my head. He took a picture. Dad is weird. I'm cute. 'Nuff said.

That is a confetti wig, one of the many fun things that grandpa gave me that mommy did not like, because it shedded/stained etc. and she mysteriously lost it when we moved. I was not happy with Mommy. But I no longer feel the need for a confetti wig, so all is forgiven.

Soooo....I may have to do a 3rd edtion...because I STILL haven't found the picture of Daniel in a dress! HAHAHAHA! Enjoy!

You thought I was dead? WRONG!

OK, so I totally deserve being called worst bloggy person ever cuz I've left my poor blog alone for nearly a month (or maybe it was 2....I'm not actually sure.) But it wasn't a case of neglect...it was lack of inspiration! I mean, who the heck is gonna wanna read a blog telling you how much you hate snow and how much you wish you were rich? (2 of the pathetic topics I thought about using) So anyways, One Lovely Person from church brought us a meal, one of several this week, due to my mommy having her guts taken out and whatnot. (She's doing fine by the way.) And what should be in the meal but treats...Sour Ropes and Peeps! PEEPS! For some reason I eat them every year even though they taste absolutely disgusting...It's like a weird personal tradition or something. I always eat Peeps around Easter...even though I don't like them. Yes I'm weird....let's not dwell on that fact.

Anyways, Peeps inspired me. How? Well, as I went to eat a sparkley (Hey, maybe THAT'S why I eat them. My love of all things sparkley perhaps?) blue bunny, when I noticed...one of them was different. There was a new nationality of Peep next to the American one. (Peeps ARE American, aren't they? Not like some Scandanavian/Spanish hybrid?)



















And it struck me as very funny...which (Ha, I have such LONG explanations.) inspired me to blog about...FUNNY/WEIRD (yes, we are famous for being weird, your point?) PICTURES! OK, so these first ones are from our Road Trip/Vacation (They called it Vacation, I called it Road Trip.) Last summer. When you are in the car for long periods of time, you tend to go insane (and to this day, I get claustrophobia when we all get in my grandparents Toyota) And what happens when you combine walking all around Mount Rushmore, a few hours in the car and a bag of candy corn? (By the way, I don't know what happened to Monkey Boy's candy corn after we took these pictures, and I don't wanna find out.)



















Me and SissyBug were going to do a series of "faux" (The French people's fancy word meaning FAKE) movie posters, but it never happened, due to well, procrastination and other pictures taking waaaay too long to do make-up for. These were gonna be for "Planet of the Apes" (by the way, grapes are good for making you appear to have monkey lips) and "Dark Knight". Yes, my little sister is trying to look like the Joker.


















The Jester (Joker's little brother) meets the Princess on Halloween 2008! The princess is apparently having a Sugar Rush in the first picture.
















Guess what happens when bored sisters have little brothers? Well, if you were a little brother with an older sister, or an older sister with a little brother, you know the answer. I will have to find a similar one of me and Dannyboy some day. Needless to say, our family likes dressing up.


OK, so there are tons more lovely pictures. I will make another post with pictures of me and Dannyboy, cuz I couldn't find any REALLY good ones in my alotted time...Blah!
I hope you enjoy these IMMENSELY! You must COMMENT YOUR LITTLE HEARTS OUT if you want another post!

New Hair Do!

I have exciting news...be prepared...Drumroll! I have a new 'do! Thanks to:


, , AND...
(MOMMY)

Yes, I'm wearing fake glasses in the picture and that picture is like a year old.


Ok so, you wanna see my hair? Yes? No? Well, guess what...if you read my blog, you have no choice.



As with ANY makeover, you need a "before" picture so...

And YES, I know I look like the Queen of the Undead Zombie Legion of Montana.




BEFORE (Ewww!)


AFTER (YAY!)




If my hair was always straight, I'd totally go shorter...and apparently I am not photogenic last night or today...Or it could be the lack of sleep...Anyways, what do you think? Is it better Curly or Straight? Speaking of which I need a new straightener...mine is evil...it PULLS YOUR HAIR! I yelled at it this morning and it pulled again! Ergo my straight haired pictures looking kinda frizzy. Oh yeah and I got hurt by the scissors...mommy stabbed me! lol They are the freaking sharpest scissors EVER!

2 Cards made with Mommy's Stampies!

Hello all you Crazy People! (Once, I had a friend who had that as her email address.)


I made 2 cards...the first is an ultra girly but rocker/punk/emo style card, with the Maltese stamp...with TONS of sparkley and pink stuff!

I used patterned foil heart paper (from the mini DCWV Rockstar stack) , metallic silver cardstock (the square under the puppy) and pink white core cardstock,(under the puppy and on the top & bottom of the foil paper) which, as you can hopefully see, I quite thoroughly distressed(Scrappers talk for making "looks like it was ran over by a truck" look cool). I used 2 black star shaped eyelets and silver ribbon with black edges. Oh and how could I forget? I used Pink "gift of the crafty gods" aka "Stickles" on her hair bow!

The next card is a belated birthday card, which, if you're like me, always meaning well but never meaning well on time...IT'S PERFECT! This card is also quite distressed, with dark brown ink and sanding. I also tried something new to me...I sewed on paper! (see the "little" and the strip of jeans on the bottom) GASP! It looks kind of stupid but my crookedness went along so well with the style I was going for, that I actually like it. Speaking of new, I also used a strip of Sierra's old jeans on the bottom edge (Hey,the butt of them was basically shredded, so I might as well make good use out of them!) The gift of the crafty gods was used on this as well...I used matching Stickles for random dots on the paper...Mom has enough variety that I actually had trouble deciding which pink/purple/green etc. to use! As we say, Stickles equals love, therefore someone verrrrry special (who's birthday I forgot, unfortunately) will be getting this card! ;)

COOOKIEEESSSSSS!!!!

Hello my adoring public!
I have not been blogging for the sole purpose of keeping up my reputation as a procrastinator. But alas, though I swore that I needed nothing interesting to blog about, I HAD to have something at least semi interesting to blog about...What's more interesting than cookies? CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies! DUH! So I will share the fantabulous recipe and a few pictures of my cookie baking experience...





Me, listening to Demi Lovato, while gazing at the last chocolate chip that was in the bag, which, as is my tradtion, I got to eat!



Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup of softened butter 1 teaspoon of salt OATMEAL!!!!!

1 cup packed brown sugar 3 cups Quick Oats

1/2 cup white sugar 1 cup of chopped walnuts

2 eggs 1 cup Semi sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons of vanilla 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

Preheat oven to 325 F. In large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar, until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; Stire into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the quick oats, walnuts and chocolate chips. Drop by heaping spoonfuls on ungreased baking pans. bake each batch for 12 minutes and cool. Enjoy with coffee, tea or the good old classic...milk!

This recipe is very versatile. You can listen to Demi Lovato or Relient K or Lady Gaga or Black Eyed Peas...whoever you like. You can listen to country, rap, hip hop, pop, 80's etc. A radio is good if you like spontaneity (a word that basically means RANDOMNESS), or you can be cool like me and use an MP3 player, with everything you like on it, in the order you want. You can hum along or you can be awesome like me, and totally rock out, using whatever utensil is in reach, for a microphone...

Seriously though, I added 3/4 of shredded coconut...it was waaaay good! Once, I added white chocolate and cinnamon chips along with the semi sweet. Every bite was like heaven! I'd like to try it with Craisins...or if you're weird and like those sorry excuses for grapes (aka raisins), I'm sure you could add those too...

AHHH NEW BLOGGER CHICK!

Hi Everybody!

I'm starting a BLOG! Holy cow! What am I thinking? Oh yeah. I was thinking, "Hey, that sounds kind of fun, cuz I like to write. But I have nothing to write about...oh, wait. WHO CARES?! I can be random!" So yeah, hopefully it will be amazingtastic and fantabulistic and all my other made up adjectives.

Oh and by the way I am going to post pictures of my recent crafty thingies too...so it will sort of be a craft blog but that's why I named it Randomly, Ruby...so I won't be tied down to one thingy! YAY!

Now that I've posted, I'm going to Youtube to learn how to play "Catch Me" by Demi Lovato, on the guitar, from Taylor Wagner, because she's the best Youtube guitar teacher I've found...YAY!

Peace, Love, Randomness
