Creative Minds Think Alike!

So, I thought that my quote list would be considerably shorter since this week's episode was only 30 minutes. But, it looks like it is about the same length! Enjoy!

Jim: Not very many people have heard of us. I mean, when I tell peopel that I work at Dunder Mifflin, they think we sell mufflers, or muffins, or mittens, or ....and frankly, all of these things are better than paper, so I let it slide!


Dwight: I signed up for 2nd life about a hear ago. Back then my life was so good that I literally wanted a 2nd one. In my 2nd life, I was also a paper salesman, and I was also named Dwight. Ablolutely everything was the same, except I could fly!

Andy: I need some advice! I've been spending a lot of time making out with Angela lately. We've been necking - but only necking, right, Not actually kissing our mouths, just neck on neck. It's just like rubbing slash nuzzling out necks together. It's hot, I'm not going to lie to you, but it's a little weird! But you seem like a guy with answers. So, how do I fast track this and get to 1st base?


Break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast!


Pam: I worked until 2:45 am, and then I had to decide if I wanted to spend the night with Michael, editing in his office; and Dwight, watching Michael edit iin his office; or drive home & probably fall asleep at the wheel, and die in a firey car wreck. I passed out on my keyboard trying to decide!


Michael: Tell me if you think this is creative. When I was 5, I imagined that there was such a thing as a unicorn, and this was before I had even heard of one, or seen one! I just drew a picture of a horse that could fly over rainbows, and had a huge spike in its head. I was 5, 5 years old! Couldn't even talk yet!

Michael: "You are creative! You are dang creative, each and everyone of you! You are so much more creative then all of the other dry, boring morons that you work with!"
Jim: "Who are you talking to specifically?"

DUNDER MIFFLIN: LIMITLESS PAPER IN A PAPERLESS WORLD!

I Love Italian Food Too!

Another great episode of The Office! I think that this may be (after Gilmore Girls) my favorite TV show ever! I think I like it better than Seinfeld - which is pretty significant! Here are my favorite highlights!










Jim: "You know what i just realized? This is Pam's and my first night away together. I used to play it over in my head, & it was just a little bit different. Maybe,a uh nice hotel or a romantic dinner, wine - uh but wine that wasn't made out of beats. Didn't think Dwight would be involved at all, and , uh, I always imagined less maneur - I mean some manuer, just less!"

"Yep! I am very passionate about Italian food. Infact, um, I am in love with Italian food!"


Kelly & Darryl

Darryl: " Hey, I like you alright. But you need to access your uncrazy side, otherwise maybe this thing has run its course!"

Kelly: " Darryl Philbin is he most complicated man that I have ever met! I mean, who says exactly what they're thinking? What kind of game is that?"




Creed:
"Creed Bratton has never declared bankruptcy! Whenever Creed Bratton gets in trouble, he transfers his debt to William Charles Schneider!"

" Bankruptcy is nathure's do-over! It is a fresh start!"


The whole office (this is long, but worth it!)


Ryan: What I want, honestly, Michael, is for you to know it, so that you can communicate it to the people here, to your clients, to whomever

Michael: Uh OK

Ryan: What

Michael: It's 'whoever' not 'whomever'

Ryan: It's 'whomever'

Michael: No, whomever is never actually right/

Jim: Well, sometimes it is right.

Creed: Michael is right, it's a made up work used to confuse students!

Andy: No, actually, whomever is the formal version of the word.

Oscar: Obviously it is a real word, but I don't know when to use it correctly.

Michael: Not a native speaker!

Kevin: I know what is right, but I'm not going to say because you are all jerks who didn't come to see my band play last night!

Ryan: Do you really know which is correct?

Kevin: I don't know.

Pam: It's whom when it is the pbject of teh sentence and who when it is the subject.

Phyllis: That sounds right.

Michael: Well it sounds right, but is it?

Stanley: How did Ryan use it exactly?

Ryan: As an object.

Kelly: Ryan used my as an object!

Stanley: Is he right about that -

Pam: How did he use it again?

Toby: It was, Ryan wanted michael, the subject, to explain the computer system, the object,...-

Michael: Thank you

Toby: ....to whomever, meaning us, the indirect object - which is the correct usage of the word.

Michael: No one, uh, asked you anything ever, so whomever's name is 'Toby', why don't you take a letter opener and stick it in your skull!"


Dwight - poor pathetic Dwight!
" As of this morning we are completly wireless here at Schrute Farms. As soon as I find out where Mose hid the wires, we'll get that power back on!"

Michael Scott:

" Yes, money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I am sitting on my yacht, am I going to be thinking about how much money I have? No, I am going to be thinking about how many friends I have, and my children, and my comedy albums. I mean, I have a yacht, so obviously I did pretty well money wise!"

"His meetings are pointless!"

"Don't sell your implants, please!"

SanDiego or Bust!

It is 383 miles to San Diego.

We are going to walk/ run/ bike/ crawl those 383 miles and then take a trip there!!

This is the plan that Heather and I hatched up when we were discussing our troubles with self-motivation and exercise. We also decided that every 8 minutes of aerobic exercise that is more stationary in nature, should be worth 1 mile, towards our goal of 383.

We want to invite anyone who wants to do this with us, to join us on our fabulous Girls Weekend! We plan on setting up an email group or separate blog to help motivate each other, and keep track of each others progress. Let us know.

A Change of Heart

I have been one of those people who had the opinion that the Phoenix area does not have all 4 seasons, and I have always felt a little annoyed at that. However, in the last couple of weeks I have reformed my thinking. While we do not have the "traditional" fall season other places do (with the multicolored leaves, crisp days perfect for sweatshirts) we have our own autumn season with distinct characteristics! In my mind, this fall begins as soon as the weather stays consistently below 100 - when this occurs - strange things begin to happen! For example:

1. I do not have INSTANT hot water anymore - now it takes 30 seconds to get warm!

2. One shower a day is enough!

3. My legs don't stay smooth - because as soon as I shave them, I get goose bumps!

4. My daughter goes outside in the evening (when it is around 80 degrees) and says, "OOOH! It is freezing out here!"

5. I can go on walks with my family and ENJOY being outside!

6. Emma can go to the park - and actually go down the slides, sit on the swings, and take her shoes off in the sand!

7. We can open our windows!

8. I am not blasted with a wave of hot air everytime I open the door.

9. I get cold when I go swimming (I know I'm a pansy!)

10. Candy Corn are in season!

I love this time of year! Cool mornings and cool evenings are fabulous! I can't wait for cool weather all the time, but I also have truly been enjoying what we have! I love fall!

Thusrday = Office!

Ok, So looking over my blog, I realized I need to start posting more than my weekly tribute to The Office - this is starting to turn in to a blog about the show, rather than my family blog! I promise that my life does not revolve around this show - appearances can be deceiving right? That being said, I will now post some of my favorite quotes!

Michael Scott:
"Quarterly Reports - they are just unreadable, they are just numbers and boring and Black!" (This may be the only thing he has ever gotten right!)

Jim: "You are going to let me know when we get close right?"
Michael: "Yes, actually, I will tell you right now. it is a club called chat room, and there is a password to get in - which is actually password. So..."
Jim: "OK, Uh, that is an invitation to an online party."
Michael: "No, No, I'm sure it's not!"
Jim: Are there 3 W's at the beginning of the address?"
Michael: "Yes"
Jim: "Yepp!"

Jim Halpert
There is this cube on the screen that bounces around all day, and sometimes it looks like it is heading right into the corner of the screen, and then at the last minute it hits the wall and bounces out, and we are all just dying to see it go right into the corner. Pam claims that she saw it one day while she was alone in the conference room - Ok...I believe she thinks she saw it."

Dwight K. Schrute & the Website!


DunMiff/sys: Who am I?

DwightK.Schrute: You tell me.

DunMiff/sus: Not sure. Just became self aware. SO much to figure out. I think I am programmed to be your enemy. I think it is my job to destroy you when it comes to selling paper.

DwightK.Schrute: How do I know this isn't Jim?

DunMiff/sys: What is a Jim?


Dwight, "It appears that the website has become alive. This happens to computers and robots sometimes. Am I scared of a stupid computer? Please, the computer should be scared of me! I have been salesman of the month for 13 out of the last 12 months. You heard me right! I did so well last February that corporate gave me 2 plaques in Lu of a pay raise!"

Meredith
"I was wondering if you would sign my cast?"



I love this show!

I love Thursdays!

So, last night was another episode of one of the best TV shows ever written (and the Dbacks beat the Cubs again!). Here are some of my favorite quotes from this week.

Michael Scott:
"Yah, Ryan Snapped at me, but there was this twinkle in his eye, that I picked up on, which said, 'Dude, we're friends. I am doing this for appearances. I am the big boss now, and I have to seem like an ogre, but you know me, and you trust me, and we like each other, and we will always be friends, and I would never take you for granted in a million years, and I miss you, and I love you' - his words!"

"Well, new ideas are fine, but they are also illegal because they are a form of ageism."

"FYI, I eventually aced 2nd grade, and I was the biggest kid in class!"



Jim:
"Well, I guess he can't get any girl he wants!"




Who else loved that Creed is now trying to pass as 29, Kelly pretended to be pregnant to get another date with Ryan, and Michael driving into a lake! I also enjoyed the gift baskets!

P.S. I have a crush on Jim (No worries Dean - its just a crush. I'm sure it will pass - your my real man anyway!)
