Puppet Shows

When my best friend and I were teenagers she could take any toy, make it dance and I would die laughing.

She still does this. I don't know how many times I've watched this but I laugh to the point of tears every time.

Secret Identity

Almost no one knows this about me, but I want nothing more than to go to Comic-Con in San Diego and dress up as a super hero. In 5th and 6th grade I would spend hours drawing the ripped bodies of made-up super heroes. At recess me and two other boys in my grade would compare pictures we had drawn and our X-men card collections. While other girls my age were trying to grow up too fast, I was still playing X-men in the streets with my two best friends. I was always Rouge. She's so awesome. When Batman Returns came out and I saw Michelle Pfeiffer as Cat Woman, I remember thinking, "I want to be her. Someday, somehow I will own a patten leather bodysuit with a whip and find an excuse to wear it." Much to Luke's disappointment this has not happened yet. In High School I was made fun of for my homemade Spiderman book-covers and after school would come home and watch Batman cartoons. As an adult I discovered the Avatar series and will watch multiple episodes at night after my kids are in bed. Had Ender been born a year later I might have named him Aang. Instead we named our cat Suki after Sokka's girlfriend. I absolutely love anything to do with super human powers. I probably should have out grown this by now, but at age 29 I'm pretty sure I never will. Someday I will make it to Comic-Con, and hopefully while I'm still young enough to look good in spandex.

Luke Quotes

Luke was looking for bedroom sets on Craigslist when he said,

"Shabby Chic? Does that mean it's ugly on purpose?"

Love Texts

I got this text from Luke today.

"'Love is finding that the things you like best about yourself are not in you at all, but in the person who completes you.' I feel this way about you. I love you Sheri."

He's wonderful.

Bene Gesserit

Luke keeps telling me the Bene Gesserit from Frank Herbert's Dune books were based on women like me. (That's Sci-Fi Nerd for, he thinks I'm awesome.) I have to take his word for it that it's a compliment. In the past I've joined him in reading his Sci-Fi series. I drew the line at Dune. ...but did not draw the line when naming our son after Ender Wiggin.

Hail to the V

Luke and I were watching TV last night and saw this. We had to re-watch it to make sure we got it right. ...We did. Hail to the V!

Getting Older

Today I was sitting on my cellulite, plucking my grays, and looking at my wrinkles AND zits, not feeling cute at all.

Then later while pushing a giant cart of food through Costco with only 2 kids in tow, the cutest old lady caught me and said, "You look too young to be a mommy." I almost hugged her.

7 Years and Still No Itch

Happy Anniversary to Us! After much trial and error while dating, I figured out what is truly important in a man... and no, it isn't a full head of hair.  I found exactly who I wanted, married him and he is more than I even hoped for. We both feel so incredibly blessed. Cheers to another amazing 7.

I just realized...

I have a bizarre collection of celebrity crushes.

#1 Bobby Flay

#2 Legolas

#3 Rod Stewart

#4 Glenn Beck

#5 Bean
(he totally counts)

My favortie part of Mother's Day...

was last night as I was about to fall asleep, Luke turned to me and said,

"Thank you for making it so I don't ever have to wonder what a great marriage would be like."

(dang.... he's good.)

Cat Lady

"Raegan, what's your life's dream?"
"I want to be a cat lady. You know, one of those ladies who has lots of cats."

I guess that's good. At least it's very unlikely she'll end up disappointed with her life.

Caught

Luke walked in the door after coming home from work...

Luke: Hows the car?
Me: Fine.
...It's fine? ...after you hit that Sonic menu and took off?
WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!!
No one. I was in the drive-thru. I saw you.
oh ...the bumper's scratched.

Facebook

A lot of people knock me for being on facebook, but without it I wouldn't have conversations like these.

• Sheri Harrison Are you in Los Banos?
• Andrew Herd Was.
• Sheri Harrison I thought so. I used to drive by Rooney's every weekend on my way to San Francisco.
• Andrew Herd After years of driving right by and always wondering what Rooney's was all about, I finally stopped in to explore its secrets. Great deals on bubble gum flavored vodka....what the? Gross.
• Summer Connery Um, you said it sounded interesting. Nice try buster.
• Andrew Herd Summer, stop embarrassing me in front of my frieeeeeeeeends!!!
• Summer Connery Me!? We swore that the words bubble, gum, and vodka would never pass our lips collectively ever again. You have succeeded in embarassing both of us.
  
• Andrew Herd It's comments like these that drive me right back into the arms of bubble gum vodka. . .
• Sheri Harrison This conversation made my day.

• Zepuur Schutz I'm soo bored!!!.
• Sheri Harrison Me too! I'm on facebook so I don't eat.
• Zepuur Schutz You can't eat while you're on FB?
• Sheri Harrison ‎... I guess I could. Thanks Zepuur, you just ruined my diet.
• Zepuur Schutz hey, i didn't do anything! :)
• Sheri Harrison We could go interact with our kids, clean something or make dinner. *sigh* Fine. I gotta go...
• Zepuur Schutz Peace out homie.

Mix A Pancake

Peek-a-boo isn't good enough for this kid.
He wants me to act like an idiot.

Our House

Raegan wrote this poem about our house.

This is the house where I live

This is where I feel love like a dove

This is where it's a home not a gnome

This is where I play my game

and this is where there is nothing lame

and you can hear the doorbell ring

and feel the love all around (not like the pound!)

and somebody cares about meeeee!

I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!

No Nake-Up

This morning Ellie came into my bathroom while I was trying to get ready when she informed me,

"Mom, you're face look like this...

You need to do your nake-up."

What not to say to your over due pregnant wife

When you're pregnant I always let myself go too.

I didn't let myself go. I'm pregnant.

Eye Kisses

For a while when Kendal was younger she was afraid to go to sleep in her bed. She said she was "afraid of bad dreams". So I started a little ritual of giving her a kiss on each eye every night before she went to bed to help her have good dreams. This always calmed her fears as she went to sleep. I still do this. She never lets me forget. If I do she'll call from her room in her sweet little voice "MOM. YOU FORGOT TO KISS MY EYES!"

Last night she came into to my room to get her eye kisses. This has become the new routine as I am 9 month pregnant, almost completely immobile and unable to climb up and lean over her bunk bed. After giving me a kiss and a hug she said, "Wait! I have to kiss the baby." She hugged and kissed my belly. Then she asked, "Where are the baby's eyes?" I pointed to a spot on my belly and she gave it two kisses, one for each eye. I gave her a big hug, said goodnight and she ran off to bed.

Conversations of a Married Couple

Me: I told you I had heartburn.

Luke: No you didn’t.

Yes I did.

Maybe I wasn’t listening.

But you responded.

That doesn’t mean I was listening.

(punched Luke in stomach)

Luke's 33 Birthday

My favorite part is Brittney sitting on the couch with a lap blanket saying "I'm going to be sore tomorrow."



Sean's friend Vanessa was a trooper. She got up and did this on a date and in front of a room full of strangers. Cicily, I don't know how you didn't win.



Sean and Richard are good sports. Rules are you're not allowed to pick the song. They ended up doing the gayest song on Just Dance. Brittney beat them sitting down.



Yes... This is the Championship round. These boys beat all of us wives.



We needed one final round to determine who is the True Just Dance King/Queen. James came out victorious. He is unstoppable.
