Mean Face

Why must he always pose with the mean face?

 

I love the shit outta that mean face!

Wait, Who's Giving Birth?

Over the weekend Mike and I went to visit his fam for a little Birthday celebration. His mom arranged to have a chef come to her house and give us a cooking lesson and fix us a gourmet meal.





So those who wanted to cook, cooked. And those who pretended they wanted to cook, drank. Maybe you can tell which team everyone was on...

Team Drunk








Or Team Cook






And this is the man of the night, Chef Mike! I'm still not sure which team he was on...




(Yes there were three Mike's in the kitchen that night. I had a hard time telling them apart.)





The extremely tall dude in the pic above is Mike's brother in law. He's only 9 foot 10. No big deal. And that cutey standing next to him is Mike's sister.


She is not 9 foot 10. (Ok he's not really 9 foot 10, more like 6 foot huge.)


After dinner Mike's bro-in-law leaned back in his chair and rubbing his belly said,


"I'm so full I feel like I could give birth!"


Everyone laughed at the joke, everyone except his wife. Apparently it was an inside joke that Mike and I were not included in. We weren't let in on the little joke until later that night when Mike's sis blurted out


"Sooooo, how does Uncle Michael sound?" (Yes, you have to call Mike "Michael" when his family is present. Sounds so weird to me!)


Michael's (ie. Mike's) face went white as the fact that his sister was pregnant sunk in. He was seriously in shock. He didn't think they were actually going to have kids. They have chickens, that's pretty much the same thing right?


Except I'm pretty sure kids don't lay eggs. But I could be wrong.


After he snapped back to the present he said his congratulations and everyone was all happy and shit. If you didn't know, Mike LOVES kids.


In fact my neph Logan was talking to his mom the other day and said,


"I have two favorite aunts, aunt Pooba and aunt Mike!"


Yeah, Mike's already a favorite aunt, and now he is going to be a favorite uncle! The news is especially exciting as this is the first grandchild in their family. Here are the two proud grandparents to be:




(Shut up I know the pic is blurry but my cell phone bites! And also takes blurry pics.)


Apparently when Mike's sis and bro-in-law told her mom the news earlier that day, her first words were:


"Bout time! Thanks for knockin up my daughter!!"


So good luck to them, they are going to have 10 foot 9 babies! I mean, did you see this dude?





The dude in yellow, the other dude is mine. Mike is holding a cross bow he made out of skis and a bunch of other shit he found layin round the house. He's crazy creative like that.


Love his guts!

How to Pose For the Perfect Photograph

1. Make sure you look directly at the camera.





2. Hold your pose perfectly. Concentration is key, try not to make any sudden movements.





3. Make sure you hold the perfect smile as long as possible, don't be afraid to show your teeth.





4. Keep your eyes open!





5. Be aware of your hands, keep your hands to your sides as to avoid any awkward positioning. You don't want your hands to be the focus of the photo.





6. Be careful of the position of your head, you don't want to get a complete profile shot.





7. Make sure your hair and makeup are flawless, the worst thing you can do is have a photograph with your hair hiding your face.





8. Don't forget to act natural!

Tits Up!

Oh man I have soooo much to write and soooo little time to write it! I've decided I will have to write just bits and pieces. Better than nothing right?



Probably not, I know. Shut up.


Here's a little piece of my weekend:


Mike and I went to his parent's house in Sun Valley to celebrate Mimi's birthday (his Grandma). Mimi is not your typical grandma. Mike has told me this time after time with story after story but until you meet her in person, you can't really appreciate how unique she is.


I can't believe the things that come out of this old lady's mouth!

You know normally people will say things like "cheese!" or "smile!" when getting their picture taken.


Not Mimi.


No, as Mimi posed with her arms around Mike and I she yelled


"Tits up!"

Oh my god I love this woman!

Told Ya There Was More Where That Came From

So Mike is basically the king of magic tricks. He works with preschool kids who know him as "Big Mike". He is amazing with little kids, they all love him and ask for him by name. He has tons of tricks up his sleeves to impress the little ones and as you know, plenty of practical jokes to piss off the big ones.


And by big ones I mean me.


You've already seen a couple of his practical jokes of which he loves to capture on video. This lovely trick of his was actually on Christmas Eve before we went to my Dad's house for our Christmas party.


Mike had been waiting for me to get ready which apparently gave him some time to think up this lovely joke and of course set up a hidden camera. So anyway, here's yet another Pooba embarrassing moment:






If you couldn't tell, that was a bowl of water that I dropped all over me and the floor.


And of course Mike had to clean it up.

There's a Cat and a Bag and Well, I Think You Know Where This is Going. . . .

So I guess the cat's out of the bag and you have probably figured out that I have a boyfriend now.


I know, weird right?


Well it wasn't something I was looking for or planning for, it just sort of happened.


Of course I really am only dating him for his dog, Gus.









But seriously,


Mike? Meet blog.


Blog? Meet Mike.







There, now you've been properly introduced.
