Excuse Me...Your Fly is Down

This morning I went to the bank.  I had to wait outside because I got there a little early and the bank wasn't open yet.  As I was waiting this guy walks over and stands near the entrance.   As he walked over I noticed that his fly was completely down on the jeans he was wearing.  Then, we made eye contact to acknowledge each other's presence and I couldn't help but give a goofy smirk as I tried to hide my laughter.  All I could think about was "what should I say?...Excuse me, your fly is down."  

Do you tell a guy when his fly is down?  Yes.  But, what about when it is a complete stranger?  Do you tell him then?  What if he thinks I was looking at his junk when I wasn't.  What if he thinks I'm just trying to start casual conversation or if I like him?  So...do you tell a perfect stranger that their fly is down?  If I did, it would have been awkward, because it was only us standing outside the bank until the doors opened at the bank.  I decided not to tell him.  I assume some other stranger/passerby would mention it, but today it wasn't me.

Next time PLEASE wear a HELMET!

So, it's been a while since my last post.  We have been busy.  Our friends Betsy and Chris, from Texas, came to visit SD this past weekend and we spent time with them.  Chris proposed to Betsy on Friday morning in La Jolla down by the beach after a wonderful breakfast at Barbarello's.   J and I knew about the plan earlier in the week when Chris called to tell us.  I played clueless during the whole event.  I came back later to take a few pictures right after the proposal.  We are so happy for the two of them and were glad we got to be a part of their fun engagement weekend!  

We drove up to the mountain on Saturday and went skiing at Mountain High in Wrightwood, California.  It was supposed to rain all weekend, but the sun came out on Saturday and it was beautiful weather, perfect for skiing/boarding.  It had snowed the night before and the powder was awesome.  J gave me a heart attack when he decided to attempt the terrain park on skis.  He went up a huge ramp and got about 8 feet of air before he crash landed on the slope.  From my angle he hit the ramp and then all we saw were skis going straight up to the sky and J was parallel to the ground.  We (myself, Betsy and 5 other snowboarders) rushed down the mountain to see if he was alive.  He was fine, he said he landed on his butt and was laughing so hard. 

I started cursing him and telling him that he scared the crap out of me and he really could of hurt himself.  My angle looked like he landed on his back and I thought he was seriously hurt.  All the snowboarders were asking "Are you ok man?  That looked bad."  After, we recovered the skis and Jahon made two other skiers crash as they attempted to get the poles J dropped on the top of the ramp we continued skiing.  I made J promise he wouldn't do anymore jumps unless he had a helmet. 

Jabalism

What is a Jabalism you ask?  It's a random term that J and I coined when being completely and utterly dorky.  It is usually a made up word that stands for something that happens in our everyday lives.  They can be nouns or verbs or used interchangeably.  

1. The first Jabalism began when J and I were at the movies and saw Don Cheadle in an upcoming movie.  We began to talk about "cheadle" and how it is a funny word.  Later that night, while watching food networks "Unwrapped" we learned that "cheadle" is actually the cheesy orange residue left on your fingers after enjoying Cheetos.  

2. The second "schmeagle" was born when J was making fun of me one evening for mumbling.  I have been known to talk fast before, but apparently I was talking too fast this time and it sounded like I was mumbling.  He decided to call it "schmeagling", when a person is mumbling, otherwise know as a Schmeagler,  a mumbler.

3. "CaNoodle". verb.  The combination of cuddling, spooning and nuzzling the person that you love.  "My girlfriend and I canoodled on the couch last night while watching a movie."

4. "C-Bad".  noun.  The city of Carlsbad where we live, otherwise know as C-Bad for being awesome and bad a$$.  "I'm up in C-Bad right now at my house, but I'll be down in San Diego later tonight."

We will keep an ongoing list as more Jabalism are created.
