Happy New Year!


Happy 2006-- this is me at a new years eve party. I am on an exercise bike with my phone waiting to wish people a happy new year and with champagne for a toast. Also note the blue thing in my hand that I am kissing... thats right, that's my boyfriend. My mom gave him to me for Christmas, he is a grow a boyfriend.... you put him in a bucket of water and he grows in 72 hours.... He doesn't talk back or complain....of course there are other things he doesn't do as well.... Happy 2006!

Rachel Ehrhard said...

so um yeah...my boyfriend is totally cuter than your boyfriend : )

melthedce said...

dang gina.... you did not just dis my man. and how can yours be hotter? Have you even grown yours yet? but how do you feel about a double wedding... we could have purple for the accent color since my man is blue and yours is red.

Thats funny cause my brother teacher kids at camp that girls are red and boys are blue and you aren't suppose to "purple"

Wait... what does that say about our men.....

Rachel Ehrhard said...

See...you pointing out the colors TOTALLY proves that mine is hotter...in fact he's RED hot!

No I haven't "grown" him yet...woulnd't it be great if it were that easy...hmmm what does it say that last year for Christmas I got the Mr. Wonderful doll...and this year I got the "grow your own boyfriend"

um...pathetic???

melthedce said...

HA HA! I got a Mr. Wonderful doll last year too!! HA HA HA!


GO BACK TO OUTDOOR ED! Blue flames are hotter than red!

Rachel Ehrhard said...

Nice rhyme : )

But still...I don't know...

ok...we BOTH got Mr. Wonderfuls and we BOTH got grow a boyfriend, and we both got mistletoe to pathetically hang in our very empty homes...um...MELISSA....This is NOT GOOD.

You know what I think...I think people are totally jealous of our super stinking cool single life style where we can go out and drink starbucks whenever we want, in our jammies, and we can play DDR until our little hearts are content...and we can do whatever the heck we want so the "smug marrieds" of our world are trying to bring us down with them. it's all part of their evil plan...muahahah hah ah hah ha...

or something like that.

Chris said...

That's right the 2 of you, start a revolution of starbuck drinking, jammie wearing DDR playing misfits......Hmmmm takes me back to my college days.

It's cool you added me Mel (and no I've never heard the groupie joke before....)Maybe someday I'll figure out how to add anybody.

melthedce said...

ha ha it is kinda tricky chris... I can't figure out how to put a pictur on... though I haven't tried tooo terribly hard.

Rach--are you doing a children's sermon this weekend? I just came up with an awesome modern day wise guy/mission impossible/GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL!! :) (its epiphany so thats why the wise guy)

Rachel Ehrhard said...

oh...oh...oh...

pass along the children's message thing...I haven't done one in a while...granted there haven't been alot of kids around...but I'm working on it...and hmmmm

and um chris...are you judging our DDR, pajama wearing sessions...don't be jealous now.

melthedce said...

me and another lady dressed in allblack with sunglasses on. We had mission impossible music come on over the system and we came down the aisle's total mission impossible style... it was awesome! Oh we also had on crowns and the fancy sashes from the wise men costumes. Ok so we get down then aisle yelling back and forth Agent Wilson do you see him? No agent scheer I can't see him, maybe we should check up front.... Then we get up there and explain who we are and that we are your modern day wise guys ha ha. And we talk about the wise men and then coming to see Jesus that that was their special mission. Then I made them stand up and I was like this is your mission should you choose to accept it..."I WILL LIVE EVERY DAY WITH JESUS" and then they shouted it out and told their parents that they only way they could really do this if they set the example... so anyway the who deal was to put a focus on Christian education and living... the music and costumes had the whole place into it though! We now use the mission impossible theme music to tell the kids and parents its time for sunday school!

Chris said...

Hey Rachel,
Don't forget the Starbuck drinking part to the party, I know that's what gives you the caffiene high to get you through the DDR part.
As for being jealous, naaa not really. I don't drink starbucks (I'm a diet coke kinda guy), I look terrible in "jammies" and while I don't embarrass easy, me doing dance dance revelution may put me over the edge. Besides my friends prefer me not to dance, less chance of things getting broken that way (like me).

But otherwise I say let the party live on.

Rachel Ehrhard said...

Mel...great idea for mission impossible. I think I could talk aubrey into doing that with me...oh man...that would be AWESOME. I'm pretty sure the people at church wouldn't know what to think. oh, that's a good point. I wonder how many of them saw mission impossible. I'll have to think that one over..

and chris...

ummmm. join the rest of our over-commercialized society and jump on the Starbucks wagon...just because you don't drink the liquid coffee goodness doesn't mean you couldn't go there and buy a "gourmet" diet coke and be like the rest of us addicted to legal stimulants paying $4.25 for something you could get for less than a dollar at the gas station. Live a little! sheesh.

Rachel Ehrhard said...

oh...and p.s.

no need for a caffeine high for us to play DDR. We're high on life.

melthedce said...

amen to that. you should hear my parents house when the two of us are together... its out of control, yet one may think they were close to heaven! :)

Chris said...

Touché, though I must admit you two are nuts. It’s seems like these days it’s the lunatics running the asylum at church (not that that’s a bad thing). High on life, High on Starbucks, from your encouraging me to live a little by drinking the “gourmet” stuff, one could deduce that they were one and the same for you. I am convinced that to work in the church one must drink massive amounts of Starbucks, I haven’t talked to a church worker in years it seems like who isn’t an addict. I honestly have a feeling that putting you all in the same room leads to hysterics Mel. Sounds like a fun time.

Rachel Ehrhard said...

"It seems like these days it's the lunatics running the assylum at church"

mel....is your friend calling me a lunatic?

sheesh...first he judges our dancing, then our coffee drinking...and then calls us lunatics.

But I will admit that my coffee adiction has reached an all new state of pretention. I don't drink starbucks as much any more becuase i am in to getting fair trade coffee...which I think makes me far more trendy than the starbuck junkies of the world. : )

Maybe I am crazy!
