Old TV Shows

Nickeldeon

1.) Clarissa Explains it All – when there is a brother named Ferguson it’s worth watching.  Then there is Sam who must have been afraid to use to front door because he always came in through Clarissa’s window with a ladder. Strange.

2.) AAAHH!!! Real Monsters – I think this show was close to my favortie. You had the long skinny monster named Oblina she was the smart one. Then there was the trouble maker Ickis red, short, with long big ears. Then there was Krumm he just smelled bad. But Krumm was my favorite because his eyeballs weren’t attached to his body so he held them up with his hands. I thought it was cool.

3.) The Secret World of Alex Mack – This show was awesome! Alex Mack was doused with a mysterious chemical called GC-161. So Alex was able to turn herself in to a glob of silvery liquid and move around. She could squeeze through doors and could listen in on conversations. What an awesome show… being able to turn into a silvery glob of liquid because of GC-161… AWESOME!

4.) Legends of the Hidden Temple – My favorite game show of all time! You have contestants that not only have a cool outfit but cool names like Blue Barracudas! The outfits for the blue barracudas was brightly colored sweat pants and t-shirt that’s always too big and a bright gold helmet. And you can forget the best parts… the talking head thing.. and the ooga booga people that scare you.

5.) Doug – do do doo do doo do… the theme song was always so great! It was cool that all the characters where different colors; Roger the mean one was greenish yellowish, and his best friend Skeeter was blue. Doug’s dog’s name was Porkchop… what a great name for a dog.

6.) Rocket Power- this was a great show! I always felt bad for the really smart guy.

7.) Hey Arnold! – “Move it football head” One of my favorite shows. The one episode I distinctly remember is when he was in a food eating contest and had to eat a lot of ice cream. And how Helga or whatever her name was, was in love with Arnold and had shrine of him in her closet. ha!

8.) Saved by the Bell – Who doesn’t like Mr. Belding?! Favorite episode when Jessie gets hooked on caffeine pills and Zach comes to her rescue, but she is all for still singing and busts out in song, “I’m so excited and I just can’t…” then breaks down. classic. (I can’t remember if this was a nickelodeon show, but it was a still a show I loved)

9.)Rugrats - Phil and Lil always pulled lint out of there belly button, Tommy always had a screwdriver in his diaper to bust out of their play pin, and Chuckie was afraid of the toilet when he was being potty trained, Angelica was just mean, and they had a cool dog named Spike. Probably my favorite show growing up.

10.) The Angry Beavers - it was a good show, made me laugh!

11.) Salute your Shorts - I don’t remember this as much as the others, but I remember the theme song…

“We run. We jump. We swim and play. We row and go on trips
But the things that last forever… are our dear friendships
Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts.
And when we think about you (it makes me wanna fart!)
It’s ‘I hope we never part’. Now get it right or pay the price.
Now we will share a lifetime of the fondest memories.
By the lakes of Anawanna.. Sat in the old pine trees.
Camp Anawa-.., we hold you in our hearts.
And when we think ab-.. (this thing came apart)
Think Anawanna-wanna, speak Anawanna-wanna..
Live Anawanna-wanna! Ugh!”

12.) Are you Afraid of the Dark? – No this show I actually never really watched because it always scared me when I was little. Too much to handle! : )

13.) The Wildthornberry’s – Traveling around in a RV looking for rare animals… now that’s one way to live your life.

14.) As Told by Ginger – “Some one once told me the grass was much greener on the other side…”

Some shows I liked on Nick t Nite: Full House (cute little Michelle), Fresh Prince of Bel- Air, Home Improvement, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Growing Pains, The Facts of Life (they had a movie at one point), I Love Lucy (Lucy I’m Home), and The Brady Bunch. At least some of these shows are still on TV.

Disney

1.) Boy Meets World- A wonderful show! It was so funny and I’m glad there were so many seasons. Eric was very funny… I liked when he hid in different places trying to scare Topanga like in the couch. haha Probably my favorite disney show.  I am totally going to get the seasons on Netflix so I can watch them… oh yeah!

2.) Lizzie McGuire – Yes I did watch this show sadly. haha!

3.) Even Stevens – Funny stuff. This is when I first saw Shia LaBeouf, he was so little.

4.) Smart Guy – A 10 year old or however old he was in high school… crazy!

5.) Sister Sister – I like the newer theme song they made. They also had many seasons where it showed them all the way in college… must of been a good show.

Now I’m sure I am forgetting many shows, but there are some of my favorites! I just wish Nickelodeon and Disney could be just as good now as it was back then. These show were pretty awesome, so sad most of them aren’t on TV anymore.

Maybe a Little Laugh For The Day?

When my sisters and I were younger we were all sitting with my Dad in a chair telling knock knock jokes. We were having a good ol time when it kinda started to smell, so my little mind went to work and I decided to make up my own knock knock joke. So here it is…

Elise: Knock knock?

Family: Who’s there?

Elise: Pincher Bug

Family: Pincher Bug who?

Elise: Pincher Bug tooted!

There ya go that was my cleaver joke… I’m sure if you use it it’ll be a knee slapper!

Spiders Are Creating an Army Against Me

If you look back to one of my blogs I wrote about killing a spider, you might need to read before reading this one.

Well today I woke up like any normal day went into my bathroom to prepare for my shower. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a little something crawling around in my tub. You guessed it.. it was one of my friends.. Mr. Spider. It was a normal spider; medium size, normal color and easy enough to kill. Grabbed a cup and started pouring water on it, continuing until it drowned. That whole system works great. The spider went down the drain and I was so proud of myself that I had killed Mr. Spider.

As you know on most shower curtians there is a plastic curtain part that goes inside the tub. So as I was moving that I noticed that something was there. It looked a little strange. I then hit the curtain and that strange thing was in my tub. Then these gross legs came out of it and sure enough it was another one of my friends… Mr. Spider 2.

Now Mr. Spider 2 must have been all of these spiders colonel or something. I mean he was huge (or at least it seemed) and his color just wasn’t right. He was like a dark redish orange color and to me it seems that kind of spider can hurt me.  I had to kill this spider but I just gave all my courage when I killed the first spider. That’s when I turned to someone else to come to my rescue…my father!

I ran upstairs, through the kitchen, up another flight of stairs and swung open my parents bedroom door. “Dad! Dad! Dad!” I said. “I need you to come down and kill a HUGE spider that’s in my bathtub. I already killed one and I can’t kill this one, it grosses me out. Can you please come and kill it real quick?!” He responded some what like my mom in the last spider blog, “Can’t you just pour some water on it and put it down the drain?” “I can’t  Dad! It’s just way to gross and it’s HUGE! Did I say that it’s HUGE??” “Okay, okay,” he said. “I’ll be down in  mintue.”

I ran back downstairs to watch Mr. Spider 2 to make sure he wouldn’t escape to call his troops in.

My dad finally arrived in my room and went to business to kill that spider. I must have learned from the best because my dad got a cup of water and started drowning Mr. Spider 2. In no time Mr. Spider the colonel was down the drain and gone forever! Yay! I finally was able to get on with my morning as normal.

I am pretty sure that spider hate me now. Pretty soon I am going to have an army of spiders in my tub one morning that’ll look like this:

 

          

(except i am sure they’ll be a lot bigger and much much more of them!)

When this happens I am afraid I might die, or have a heart attack or something. Let’s just say it’s not going to take to much work or effort for this spider army to take me down!

What a Great Start to My Morning!

+ = (DEAD!)

 

This morning I woke up around 8:00 to get ready. It was just like every other morning; I was really tired and didn’t want to get up but I had to… but what i didn’t know was that this morning was going to be different….

I walked into my bathroom to go get ready for my shower. I pushed my shower curtain out of the way and started the water to get nice and warm. Then out the corner of my eye I see a gross, huge, ugly, awful spider! ! (looked somewhat like the one in the picture above) EWW! I then had a slight problem. It kinda grosses me out to touch a spider even if it’s with a shoe or tissue, it gives me the crawlers! So what is a girl to do….Well let me tell you…

Luckily for me there was a mason jar sitting on my counter. (we use them as glasses) I grabbed the jar as quick as I could and filled it with the hot steamy water and you can probably guess what my next step was. That spider was getting 3rd degree burns all over it’s body. Now here is were I think spiders are so stupid! I continued to throw water onto it and the spider would shrivel into a ball then when the water wasn’t hitting it crawl up my tub. Oh it was on, that spider wasn’t getting out of that tub alive. Finally after fighting back and forth with the dumb spider it died. oh boo hoo! Then I had my next problem!

The dead spider was just floating in the water and I didn’t know how to get rid it. hmmm.. I knew what I would do. Just run up stairs get my dad and he’d come to the rescue and take care of it. So I quickly turned of the water (yes it was running the whole time, I know a waste, but hey people I was in a crisis!) As I got upstairs I looked outside and my dad’s car was gone! oh no! Well then I thought my mom is pretty brave she’ll come and take care of it. Oh but was I wrong….I opened her bedroom door and believed our conversation went like this:

“Mom there is a spider in my shower!”

“Kill it with a shoe.”

“I drowned it and don’t know how to get it out!”

“Elise I am tired, just flush it down the toilet.”

Well it looked like I was on my own. Great!

I ran back downstairs and went into my bathroom. As I got in there I peeked over the bathroom tub and there that spider was stuck to the side of it. EWW! I was in trouble because I didn’t want to touch that gross thing. So I thought I’d take my mom’s advice and flush it down the toilet. I turned the water back on so I could scoop it into that mason jar..well there was another slight problem. When I turned the water on…the spider kinda went down the drain. At that point my emotions were torn.. I was happy I finally defeated the spider, but then I was like great it is going to come back up from the drain!

Being the brave person I am, I proceeded to take my shower. The whole time I was thinking it’s going to be like return of the Achaearanea Tepidariorum(common house spider)! I looked at the drain just thinking that any moment the spider would come up and get me! Unfortunately this whole situation caused my shower to be cold so that wasn’t fun and I think I have a clogged drain because of the gross ugly spider that’s in it. I am absolutely not unclogging that drain.. that would be a job for my father!

Spiders are just awful and I hate them!!

Polio Vaccine

As many of you know I am leaving on July 28th to go to Belize on a mission trip. Unfourtunately I had to get 3 shots for the trip. ouch. Thinking about these shots I remeber another time at the docotors when I had to drink a little tiny thing of Polio Vaccine….

When I was just a wee little tyke, probably around 2 years old I was at the doctors for some shots for whatever I needed those for. Well the sweet kind nurses then proceeded to tell me that I needed to drink this small thing of Polio Vaccine. For some reason I freaked out. I locked my lips and wouldn’t open them. Being the sweet kind nurses they were, they didn’t have a clue what to do.  Then I began to run around the room from them because I feared that Polio Vaccine. I don’t know what it was, but my wee little tyke mind led me to believe that the Polio Vaccine would be painful.

My mom then decided it was time for  her to take action. Not wanting to make a scene in front of the nurses sweetly said “Leesy you need to open your mouth and drink this.” Still being stubborn I just shook my head NO. Well it seeemed that hours had gone by and my mom wasn’t playing Mrs. Nice Woman anymore.  She took me and head locked me and squished my cheeks together and forced that Polio Vaccine down my throat. And that was that.

So those of you who have kids or might have kids in the future, learn from my mom. If your child won’t take there Polio Vaccine then head lock them, squish their cheeks and force it down their throats. It should work like a charm! = ]

Elise and Hula Hoops Don’t Mix!

You may not know this but hula hoops can be very dangerous. Listen to my little story of what happened to me and maybe you can learn from my mistakes…

It all happened when I was just a wee sprout in 5th grade. I had about 2 or 3 weeks left in school and then it would FINALLY be summer!

My school decided to have a sock hop for and end of the year party thing. It was a Friday and in gym class we had a sock hop thing. There was music, fun games, fun people, and then lying on the floor were those dangerous hula hoops. Being the wee sprout I was, I picked one of the hula hoops up. I was hanging out with my friend Shelby so we were hula hooping together.

Do you ever remember when the cool thing was to hula hoop around your foot? Well that’s what Shelby and I were doing when Shelby said “Let’s see how fast you can go?” I that it was a genius idea! Then my left foot turned on its side and then I wasn’t able to walk on it anymore. Uh Oh!

Well I tried to walk back to class but the pain was just to strong. I made Shelby go get my teacher so I could go to the nurse. Well I stopped right in front of a heater and I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting…(i think you get the idea). My teacher had forgotten about me. After what seemed like an hour my friend Devin came down the hallway with a rolling chair to roll me down to the nurse’s office. The nurse then called my parents.

After getting done at the doctor’s office…sure enough my left foot was broken. Over the weekend it didn’t seem that bad. I was getting used to the crutches and after awhile I would get a little booty so I could walk on my foot. I thought hey I will be able to do things I’ve been doing except sports of course, but that’s when I decided to be Little Miss Independent. ..

That following Monday I was getting ready for school that morning. I was downstairs eating my bowl of cereal but I finished and needed to go and brush my teeth. My mom told me to make sure someone was always behind me when going up the stairs on my crutches. How hard could it be to go up the stairs by myself. I had been using the crutches for two days and I thought I was a pro. (yeah right)

I got up and started going up the stairs. Right when I got about halfway up I lost my balance. I proceeded to fall down backwards when everything suddenly went into slow motion. thump…..thump….thump…smack….AHHHH! I smacked my left wrist on out dining room chair and started screaming. The pain was excruciating! My mom came running to the top of the stairs seeing me in a little ol heap at the bottom of the stairs. (for those who were wondering my foot was perfectly fine.) I had my mom at my side trying to calm me down but the pain was just awful. “I think it’s broken,” my mom said to my dad. My dad being so loving said ” Oh she’s fine.” My face was pale white so I then returned back to the doctors office..and sure enough my left wrist was broken too.

I started off my summer being in a wheel chair. It was fun for awhile though having everybody doing everything for me. Then it got to the point when I was ready to get out of that wheelchair.

After reading this I hope that you have learned that hula hooping is very dangerous. So please use caution whenever you pick up a hula hoop. = ]

A Penny For An Apple

When I was 5 years old I thought having some pennies would make me so rich. I was only 5 so pennies seemed like 5 dollars to me. = ]

In my backyard we had to HUGE apple trees. Being that the trees were so big, we had many apples all over our backyard. The apples needed to be picked up and my dad didn’t want to be the one to do it, so he came up with a plan. He told Bethany and I that he would give us a penny for every apple we picked up. Bethany and I contemplated with one another, and WE WERE IN!

Bethany and I believed that we would become so rich. It soon then became a race to see who could pick up the most apples and get the most pennies. My dad busted out some chalk and put both of our names on the sidewalk and each time we picked up an apple we would make a tally mark next to a name. Each of us girls were having a good ol time when the fun stopped when my hand reached a picked up that tragic apple.

 From were I was looking it looked like every old apple i was picking up, but what I didn’t see was that there was a wasp hiding on the other side of the apple. Then that mean wasp stuck out its stinger and stunk me right on my middle finger by the cuticle..ouchie! Then my finger started to swell up and then swelled up like a balloon, who would of know… I was allergic. Bethany was freaking out yelling for my parents..okay i’ll stop now!

I wasn’t allergic and didn’t swell up like a balloon but it would of made the ending of this little story a lot more interesting. All that really happened is that it hurt like any other bee sting would. I cryed a single tear and from that day on i decided that i wouldn’t pick up apples for pennies anymore. = ]

Missing!!

For the past few weeks my favorite pair of jeans have been no were to be seen! I bought them for my birthday and they were so cute!

I thought for sure that one of my sisters had gotten them put in their room’s accidentally. So i went down to Robbin’s room and looked in every nook and cranny in her room. They weren’t in her closet or her dresser. It was off to Bethany’s room. I looked in her closet and i got excited because i though i found them…but they were they exact same jeans only a different size. They weren’t mine. I was so sad! = [

Today i went to the mall with my mother and i almost bought the same jeans since i couldn't find them. Well i had that gut feeling that i would find my jeans so i didn't  buy them. I did get a really cute shirt but that is besides the point.

 Well i got home from the mall and told my dad that i still couldn't find my jeans. He then gave me permission to search my sisters and mom's closet. So i proceeded in doing this and with my luck they were no where to be found! I had come to the conclusion that my jeans were lost forever!

All day today my dad had been bugging me to clean my room. I kept putting it off and doing other things. Around 9:30 off i went to clean my room. I hung up all my clothes and put my dirty clothes in the laundry basket. Then i looked in one of my bags to see what was in there. To my surprise i had found my FAVORITE jeans! I was so happy that i went and showed my dad and my sister Bethany. They weren't as enthusiastic as i was. I am very happy though that my missing jeans have been found!

Thanks Dad for making me clean my room!! = ]
