the one about Q-tips

If any of you know my little Quayd-er at all, you know that he LOVES Q-tips! I consider myself pretty addicted to them too. I have always needed to use them right after I bathe, shower or swim because I hate having that itchy wet feeling in my ears. But good old Quayd has taken it to the next level. He uses them several times a day. I have often worried that he has something wrong with his ears, but on several occasions, the doctor has confirmed that his ears are fine. And very clean, I might add! Anyway, I was going through some old pictures a couple of weeks ago and I found these from when he was a baby and they just made me laugh. Obviously the obsession started pretty young!

the one about friends with nasty ears

So this is old. I have had these pictures for awhile and I forgot to post them. I just saw them still on my memory card and I was surprised that I didn't blog it yet. Maybe I did and I am just losing my mind. If you read/see this, and you have seen it before, let me know so I can know I am not crazy.

A couple of weeks ago, Tara and Shae stopped by and they were so proud of themselves. They had bought earwax candles and they were ready to take the plunge. Tara SO didn't want me to take pictures, but I just HAD too! It is just who I am!




Shae didn't mind the pictures. Isn't she cute!!!!


So, then, strangely enough, Kandice called through all of this and mentioned that she had one candle and would like to try it. I just happened to have 1 extra so we were able to clean both ears. She came over and I just lined all of my guests up on my couches. I hate to say this and I hope I don't embarrass her, but Kandice's ears were the grossest ears I have seen yet. I KNOW!! I am shocked too!!! Actually, they weren't dirty GROSS, but sorta smelly gross. I have never gotten the least bit ill or dry heav-ey while doing other peoples ears, but I sorta did with old Kandice. Sorry friend!



I am so glad I have friends who allow me to get my kicks from their nasty body functions. I am so blessed! And I am also grateful that they allow me to publicly humiliate them on my blog!!!

the one about Quayd's nasty ear

ok, another funny thing that Quayd just said.... Sorry if this stuff gets annoying, but I have to write it all down somewhere!!!!

So the other day, his ear was really bugging him. We looked in it and Brett and I could see this HUGE chunk of wax. We tried to get it with q-tips and stuff, but it was too big and hard. I even had Gibler look in there with her super earwax removal tools, but no luck. Well I knew just what he needed! (Are you with me here?)

Oh yah... EARWAX CANDLES!

So we did the candle and got the hugest chunk ever. It was insane. Well that was last weekend and I kinda forgot about it. He just randomly came up to me and said, "Mom. Remember that huge chunk we got out of my ear? Like, that was crazy. I mean, how could a chunk that big come out of such a little boy?"

He is too funny. Of course, I still have the chunk, so we posed this picture. Isn't he cute?

Brett just came home from work and looked aver my shoulder at what I was typing. He started laughing and said that last night in the shower Quayd, out of NOWHERE, said, "Wouldn't it be cool if you could put a watermelon up your nose?"

Brett said, "No. Not really. I don't want want a watermelon up my nose. I think it would hurt."

Quayd said, "Well, I think it would be cool."

Then Brett picked lint out of his belly button (I know, sick) and Quayd asked why he got lint in there. Brett said, "Because I am fat."

Then Quayd said, "Wouldn't it be cool if your belly button went all the way to your back?" Brett just looked at him and said...... "Yep."

Funny stuff. Like, you can't make this stuff up! Love that kid.

the one about earwax

Today, my heart is full as I explain the complete-ness I have found. I have found peace in my life and now I feel like I can tackle anything that comes my way. I now understand how the pioneers must have felt when they finally came over the mountain and discovered Zion. Or how the 49'ers felt when they struck gold. Even Jed Clampett when he was out shootin' fer some food, and up from the ground came a bubblin' crude. Well, my friends, I have discovered a little gold for my self. EARWAX CANDLES!

I have heard of these things before, but I have never seen or used them. Well the other night, Brett needed to go over to the Olsen's house and I decided to go with him. Alison had one of these babies in her ear and I could hardly contain myself. When it was finished burning and Holly pulled it out, I couldn't believe my eyes. You would not believe the crap that came out of there. Well, I knew I had to get some for myself and stick them in all of our ears. All six of 'em. So yesterday I drove my butt down to the health food store and bought 5 packages of 2. I knew Gibler would go crazy for them, so I took her a Dr. Pepper, a donut and the candles at her new job. I think she was excited! Anyway, the second I got home I had one burning in my right ear. I didn't get a ton of stuff because I am freaky about having clean ears. I Q-tip all of the time. But I was surprised to see what I did get. Wanna see? You know you do. Cool, huh! After I did mine, I couldn't wait to get Quayd going. This is what came out of his cute little ears. Ok, now I am going to show you something that grossed even me out. This is what we got out of Brett's ears. So nasty.... I was shocked and I even threw up in my mouth a little. But I still liked it.

So I highly recommnd these to EVERYONE! But the only thing I request is that you let me see what you got out of your ears. I know that is gross, but I can't help myself.
