bright
so it has not been hard for me to figure out that i am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. i mean seriously, all i have to do is examine my day to day life and the looks that mark gives me like "seriously, did you just do that?!" well i am used to it but i think others are not. there are some present examples like the fact that i think i am an expert seamstress now and the fact that i think i am good at decorating our house. ha ha. also remember how i tried to be a pioneer and make butter? seriously, who does that. well let me tell you about some past stupidity, oh man. a lot of them involve my bff linnea but i am sure most of them were my ideas since she is bright and lovely. instance 1. when linnea and i were about 11 or 12 (maybe older but i will never admit it), we braided out hair together since she was so blond and i was so dark. it looked cool. then we walked around for awhile like that and then (here is the really idiotic part) we decided to jump on the trampoline!!!! oh my lands the pain. seriously, not the brightest bulb. instance 2. also involving linnea. we used to take sunday drives all the time. and we would always go in our sunday dresses and ridiculous shoes and we would always get into some sort of pickle, like our car high centered and us miles from anywhere. or our car trapped on an icy road with a cliff looming right where we are slipping. then riding with a family also out for a sunday drive to help. the dad of that family made the mother get in the very back so linnea and i could ride in the front. nice guy. instance 3. one time i left my towel outside to dry. when i went to look for it later, it was gone so i stepped out to get a more thorough look. the door slammed shut behind me and locked. oh and did i mention i was NAKED. yep. buck. it was great. especially when i had to climb up onto our deck and in the blazing lights coming outside into the dark from the kitchen, i knocked timidly while crouching to hide all my personals. oh man. however, the look on my mom's face-totally worth it. ha not really worth it but awesome nonetheless. and all of this leads to my current state where i do idiotic things daily or bi-daily if that is a word. however, it is often. my other pioneer experience involves making tomato soup. yes instead of opening a can when i wanted grilled cheese and tomato soup, i decided to make it. 4 hours later, it was bubbling happily on the stove. 4 HOURS!!!!! i had to freaking peel and seed the tomatoes. and it took 12 of them. TWELVE!!!! oh and did i mention the soup was not good at all. mark lied and said it was but a pioneer can tell when people are lying.

halloween
beard
here is the beard in all it's "sleeping" glory. he would not open his eyes for these pictures oh well. he was going to shave off the beard but i told him to wait until christmas so people could see it in person. rad.
saturday is a special day
oh hi, remember me? i am megan, a notoriously bad blogger. oh well. i have another confession to make. friends. beside being a bad blogger and hating the twilight series, i also hate emoticons. there i said it. i think they serve a purpose but have you ever gotten an email filled with emoticons? so lame. anyway, my friend will shares this hatred with me and my most favorite email from him is one where instead of using emoticons, he describes them. so funny. so i am going to do that in this blog post and probably in more to come to convey my feelings. get ready. my version of emoticons :) ;) :0 :( ready? OKAY (said like a cheerleader while doing a split jump and clapping emphatically)
where to begin?(an emoticon with a perplexed look that is scratching her chin). well the other day, mark and i went to couer d'alene idaho to look at the fall foliage. silly us (an emoticon with a sheepish look on her face, shrugging her shoulders). we should have realized that almost the entire population of trees where we live are pine trees so needless to say, there were not many fall colors. oh well, (an emoticon who heaves a big sigh) lake couer d'alene is very pretty and it was a pretty drive and walk.

then we had to take a few pictures of each other of course (an emoticon who looks at you knowingly with an elbow nudge). here is mark making fun of my classic picture taking expressions. the big smile(ramsdell smile for those of you in the know)


it didn't hurt my feelings (an emoticon who is crying on the inside)
here is another face he is making fun of. (an emoticon getting a little angry but smiling through it)

Here are the extraordinary minutes from today’s meeting. Hold on to your hats!
and hers
The last three items on Megan’s notes are very important. Do you think she takes us seriously? I’m starting to wonder……..

Team Meeting 11/3/08
There has been some confusion on how to display plans with no coinsurance but a deductible and how to display the out of pocket maximum (OOPM).
· Therefore, we are not going to display the OOPM anywhere.
· If it is there to quote, it causes confusion to members.
·· In the State of Alaska- the deductible is OOPM.
· Starting today if you are building in the build tool, put n/a for OOPM
· · Change on main cost shares to n/a.
· We should rename the buddy audit tool-citizen’s arrest
· We need some get out of jail free cards
· More lame insurance jokes and laughter
· Blah blah blah
· Snore-me.
i expect to be unemployed by the end of the night.
