I have realized that unclericky doesn't quite fit just right anymore, and so we are moving to a different front.

http://ginnyandrick.blogspot.com/

We're moving!

2009-03-02T05:55:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to let you all know, that way you wouldn't be confused when you find us not here.

Can you survive?

2009-02-27T08:11:00.001-08:00

President Obama made history(up).

2009-02-25T17:43:00.000-08:00

Or else he was talking about some other nation I am not quite sure. I only caught bits and pieces of the address, but this part stood out to me. Maybe because it didn't sound right, because it isn't, and also because I had learnt this fact in grade school, in the United States of America, and he didn't have that opportunity, I'm not sure, but one thing that I am sure of is that the president of the United States should have a fact checker go over his stuff just to make sure, unless the facts aren't what is desired, then just go with your gut.

"And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it."

We made it a year.

2009-02-16T04:39:00.001-08:00

I just wanted to do a quick post to thank all of you who have helped us out over the past year+. We appreciate it.

Plus here are some of our HoneyMoon pictures.

Have a good one, I know that I do.

Happy Birthday Ginny!!!!!!!

We all wish you a Merry Christmas.

Enjoy the time with Family if you can

Happy ThinksGiving!!!

2008-11-27T12:33:00.000-08:00

Well, just a quick post. Happy ThanksGiving! Just want to wish you all a good one. Have a good day.

Well I'm gonna give the answer anyways.

2008-11-18T11:29:00.000-08:00

I try to be a stickler about the rules to my games, but I am feeling generous, here is the answer to our quiz

New Idea on the guessing game!

2008-11-14T05:39:00.000-08:00

I will not post the answer to the one until someone comes close. Good Idea huh? But I will post a new image to guess from. and here goes.

And I will give you a hint, since you guys have a lot of trouble, it may or may not be a fish.

I hope that helps.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

2008-10-31T11:04:00.000-07:00

Well You guys should have remembered this spookey day. Remember the science experiment that went wrong. Noah-gator was transformed into a gianormus being

well maybe the next round of guessing

It was deffinitely not him in a sink, I don't care what you say.

Well You need a real challange this week.....

2008-10-07T08:06:00.000-07:00

The challenge this week involves a collaberation.

Of several photografts.

Can you figure it out?

I don't

Think so.

Well a year ago.....

2008-09-29T05:19:00.000-07:00

Hey, lastyear I had met the most amazing person ever. It was at a single adult conferance, finding someone was the last thing on my list, well maybe not last but defenateley not the first thing. It is a pretty neat process of finding her. Which I wont write down, because I would most likely leave something out and then there would be evedance and so that is it.

What's that Orrockabama doin' on the t.v pappa?

2008-09-21T15:00:00.000-07:00

Well you know it is an over-hyped election year when a three-year-old can spot out and name one of the canidates. And when your seven year old confuses their aunt for the same cantidate.

So what do you think? Skyler thinks they look alike, might need to get him some glasses.

So are the rest of you guys tired of the election shinanagins yet?

We don't make taters with ear taters!

2008-09-18T05:45:00.000-07:00

So how often do you find yourself having a conversation where you can't believe what you had just heard/said? I know we have those pretty often, mostly because we have a seven year-old in the house, but also because I am kinda an oddball.

Well you guys were not even close

2008-08-01T16:18:00.000-07:00

You all remember "The Prickett's go to India." Well if not that is the answer to this bi-weekly guess-a-thon game. Now half of you are going, duh! I knew that, and the other half weren't old enough to remember it. Thank you.

Hey you guys!!!!

2008-07-29T06:17:00.000-07:00

Time for our favorite knock-off game show. If you think that you are enjoying some other guessing game, well then you haven't had the option to play the much more fun and interesting game possible. Please draw your attention to the picture pictuered

If you want to test your skills at skilling then go ahead and figure it out, I dare you to take the ultimate skill challenge. Ha Ha Ha!!!

Hello Clarice....

2008-07-24T07:39:00.000-07:00

Well we made a visit to Missouri yesterday. We had a good time.

Now what does this mean?

2008-07-15T10:30:00.000-07:00

What is it they say about kids killing ants with a magnifying glass? Is it a good thing because they are letting out their creative juices, or bad because they are killing some living creature? Or, on a different path, does it not really mean anything at all? Also, does it matter if he says that he is at war with them, is it okay then.
But, on the otter hand, what does it mean if he isn't using the magnifying glass to murder them, but the nozzel on the garden hose, no he isn't spraying them, he is smashing them into the sidewalk. I was just curious, because I can't get him to stop terrorizing insects at all, and I was wondering?

And behind door number............................

2008-07-02T08:33:00.000-07:00

Well you all have waited patiently for a long, long, long, time now. The answer to my daily picture puzzle(parody of Marcia's, but much, much better) is coming here soon. First I will make up some stuff about how I recieved many, many, many, guesses, and most of them were correct, and so I would remove them e-meatiatly so everyone else would get a chance to allow their creative--ivity to take them to a world less lookeded at. This is the Answer That I was looking for, if by chance you actually guessed it and thought it a foolish guess, you can let me know.
Man with Cinnamon Roll

Now I know, some of you have actually been to the statue of man holding fish, we all know that fish is not for breakfast, so you have been there too late in the day, This is what He looks like earlyer. And There are probably some of you nay sayers saying that it is just photoshoped, youdon't even know what you are talking about. The size of a giant cinnamon roll still isn't big enough for the statue, as evidence here is an actuall picture of a giant cinnamon roll, baked by me in person. so look I didn't make the one in the picture and just put it in his hands, that would take probably at least two or three of them, and I don't plan that far ahead.

Cinnamon Roll withouth Man?

I wish, I wish, I hadn't squished that....

2008-06-10T06:04:00.000-07:00

So what do you think of our fishing expidition, Skyler wanted to put a fish in his pocket and I promised that if I got another one he could do so, it didn't happen.

Tell me a story please!

2008-06-07T09:00:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody, this is a challenge, Come up with a better story. The trick is, don't write it for them, or cheating, have your kid tell you a story on the spot without any advanced notice. All I did was ask him to tell me a story about a Banana, the topic is of your choosing, see if you can do better.

We're the Kids!!

2008-05-29T15:21:00.000-07:00

Well, Skyler came home the other day singing his new favorite song before his time I think, and so I did a quick search and found a video of it for him...

What kind of songs do you find kids singing now that you think in your mind, "where did they hear that, I haven't heard that since I was young?" I would be glad to hear your ideas.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY G-4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-05-28T07:15:00.000-07:00

Hey it's somebody's birthday and she is born today. Happy birthday and congratulations to the family.

So, who doesn't like a copy cat?

2008-05-14T12:06:00.001-07:00

I had an Idea, I want to take Marcia's idea of a guessing game and make it more interesting; I will give more pieces of the picture, and then after I get guesses, I will give the answer, but it will be a joke answer, maybe the real one also.

This is the main picture of interests

These three are pieces of the whole, go to and Guess!!!!!

Well I have been taged?

2008-05-14T09:27:00.000-07:00

10 years ago I was:How am I supposed to know that was ten years ago, I don't even remember what I am doing right now, Oh, yeah, I could figure it out this is 2008, that would have been 1998. So I graduated High-school in 2000, so I was finishing up my sophomore year? It was a thursday, and the series finale of Seinfeld was airing and Frank Sinatra had died.

5 things on my ‘to do’ list today:
Well I made a list this morning, well my Wife helped, let me go and get it...
...Okay, I'm back hear goes: It says-
Rototiller
Bag of hair
Wedding Dress clean
Laundry
******** Stuff (censored for secrecy-nothing wrong here)
My actual list is more like this:
Make some calls
run to the store and get ******(its a suprise, not a secret)
Clean the basement some(I"m getting there)
Do laundry
Clean up the mess I make in the process

Things I would do if I became a billionaire:
If I became a Billionarire I would:
pay off student loans, probably about, um, off the top of my head I can think of ten to fifteen peoples and that is just the ones I can think of now.
I would hire a body guard for a 18 foot statue of Pikachu I would have errected in a local park
I would buy a fifty pound bar of chocolate for the IRS agent who would be auditing me, and they wouldn't be able to take it and so I would cry and say "please just have a bite, I searched all over the world for it will you please just try it?" and then play a game of checkers with them.
I would go on Oprah and jump on her couch then get kicked off the show, and then write a tell all book about how she was mean to me and made me cry, probably lasting around 6 pages including 5 pages of pictures, mostly of dolphins.
I would probably learn to play dominos

3 of my bad habits
Who told you I have bad habits?
Well I don't like to answer questions straitaway, I won't lie to you directly-I will just hide the truth in a bunch of gibber-jabber
I procrastinate- Like right now I should be working on my list of to-do stuff, and yet I'm doing this tag thing and will skip most of the list and have no excuse for it.
I am a bad example-I get people in trouble by suggesting they do certain things that seem cool, but I am too chicken to do it myself.

5 places I’ve lived:
San Diego, Ca
Harlingen, Tx
Burlington, Ia(twice now)
At Mom's
At Dad's

5 jobs I’ve had
Substitute school janitor
Working at McDonalds, this I've done several times and in many different ways
Cracker Packer
Cookie Maker(these last two for the same place)
U.S.M.C.

Things most people don’t know about me
I count stairs most all of the time, but it doesn't have to be all of them, just start where I think about It, and usually by two's, or backwards.
I drink milk out of the container, but only when it's a full one, I don't want to get anybody elses germs.
The last one is made up, I don't care about germs that much.
I can make a cheesburger faster using one hand than most do with both hands-or I used to be able to.
I sing songs in my head, but not the same ones I sing out loud, at the same time, and I'm afraid I will sing the wrong words that I switch songs half-way through on purpose.

I don't like tagging others because that means I'm not important anymore, and I can't think of any to tag.?

I usually do not believe in conspiracies....

2008-04-22T13:33:00.000-07:00

I just came upon this by chance, it is irreputable proof that the government is covering up something.

Any questions should now be answered.

I'm going for a record

2008-04-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

Going thru pictures and stuff on the computer I found this, I really am not just being lazy.

Make video montages at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Happy birthday Munchie(You are missed)

2008-04-10T12:32:00.000-07:00

Photo and video editing at www.OneTrueMedia.com

I just thought that I would celebrate Munchies birthday today, seeing how I get vary distracted, or very distracted, So I would like to remember him like this.

Thursdays are my day off from school.

2008-04-10T11:57:00.000-07:00

Geneva and Gretchyn sure tryed to beat Skyler up good.

She is so beautiful

Skyler was being so helpful with his Cousins...

and posing with the cars.

So, today I don't have class(so you think, What's new?), and I should be doing some homework. And so some of my procrastination is posting on the blog. So you get a prize, here are some pictures.

When you need help, make sure you pack some heat.

2008-04-10T07:51:00.000-07:00

I like a good joke as much as the next fat guy...

2008-03-26T12:38:00.001-07:00

So I was thinking about starting a band, I just don't know what kind of music we should play. It's not as though I have any other person involved,or even talent but what the hay?

I'm not sure the target for this blog, or if there really is one, but when would this be an efficient use of space?

2008-03-14T12:24:00.000-07:00

So I think I'm gonna become like Jay Leno with the ads people send in, but with a smaller chin and much smaller collection of cars.

Marcia thanks for sending this one in

So where do I Start?

2008-03-14T12:09:00.000-07:00

This is our cake, Thank-you Aunt Rebecca it was so beautiful

Here is the grooms cake, Diane did a great job!

It really wasn't a long ceremony, his legs were just tired.

He doesn't want to admit that kissing looks fun.

Get used to it Honey

....
Today was the last day of classes before spring break, I'm taking a survey of what I should do during this week. I am not going to give any hints at my current plans but beware, I may take some of your suggestions.

Happy "Real" Birthday Martin!

2008-03-10T07:49:00.000-07:00

This is a group shot taken after the wedding, there are a few holes, we'll have to get them pictures or something.

Happy Birthday Martin!!!!

2008-03-07T08:19:00.000-08:00

Hey so there was some hoop-la going on yesterday in the world of ads, I think this will become a reacurring theme....

I used to think about this topic, so maybe the ads pick a past mind-reading to pick out which ads are placed.

Pictures from the big event

2008-03-06T11:24:00.000-08:00

Who's the lucky guy? That would be me.
"Got Ring?"
Eyes Right!
We made it!
Nothing to be embarassed about

So I noticed earlyer....

2008-03-06T10:45:00.000-08:00

I know that I am not supposed to draw attention to the ads that are on the sight to get you to click on them but.....

Where do they get the idea to put that add there. I guess talking about getting married and having pictures taken, maybe that is what Marcia does on the side. Who knows? I'll post some pictures later.

Where the Red Fern Grows?

2008-03-04T06:30:00.000-08:00

Have you ever met Troy McClure?

This is the view from the window right outside our room

hi

So I was thinking, or was I? I need to post more stuff/blogs. I don't do very well, except for when I need to be doing other things; like right now, I really should be studying for my Chemistry test which is in about an hour. But does cramming really work. The most it has done for me is give me a headache and cause undo stress. what are your thoughts?

I owe you one....(Oh Yeah, happy leap day)

2008-02-29T08:17:00.000-08:00

You know LIfe gets really busy sometimes. It has been a couple weeks since the big day, and they all seem to be getting better and better. Even with some illness in the household it is still good.
We got a dryer, and I hooked it up yesterday. It was kinda fun, my firsttime doinganything that important of the type, and it works. I think I ran 7 or 8 loads of laundry yesterday and still have a couple more, but it was bed time. *I would put up pictures of what I did but someone might realize I did it wrong and so I'll hold off on that for a while*
Skyler picked it out at the store, and so He was kind of excitedd I guess. He enjoys coming down and playing in the basement while I'm working down there, and so I guess I like to go down there so we have some time together. I just remember playing around Dad working and it kinda remindes me of that. *Ronda, sorry if any of your stuff gets played with, we cant help ourselv's. You should come get the rest of it :) *
I'll post some pictures later of the wedding and maybe some fun ones from our HunnyMoon. We had a Blast, and I need to get them uploaded for ya'lls.
Take Care

Three weeks from today!!!!

2008-01-26T10:43:00.000-08:00

So I realize, now that my computer is in another place than I am, and there isn't a highspeed internet connection I realize that I don't post much, let alone do anything else here, but that will change eventually. Time is flying so fast, but yet dragging too slow. Do you realize that I only have three weeks left of being single. Well less than that already. So what suggestions do you have for a guy before he is tied down for good?(I am just kidding here, I am happier than I ever realized I could be. So before any of you write nasty comments realize that This is just some teasing on my part)

It's been a couple weeks, so sue me. :)

2008-01-15T09:11:00.000-08:00

Well what has happened since the last post? Hmmm.... A big thing is Ginny and Skyler are now moved over here to Burlington, and She has started her New Job. She is liking it. Skyler has started school and really seems to be adjusting very well. I Just started the new Semester Yesterday. I think I'll keep going, for now. Has anyone an Idea of a carrer I should persue. I never did pick something in kindergarten so I havn't really had a goal in mind. Any of your ideas will be thought over.
Wedding planning is getting a little stressful. More so for the bride than the groom I'm afraid, but I believe that is the way with most weddings. The invitations are out, well most of them, after getting them done, we thought, we realized there were a couple that didn't get addressed and they might be a day or two later. and if we happened to somehow overlook you compleatly or it gets lost in the mail you are invited to the reception being held at the Galesburg LDS Chapel from 2 to 5 pm. on Feb 16th 2008. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Christmas has come and gone, or has it?

2007-12-26T10:58:00.000-08:00

So what do you do for christmas traditions. This year I was lucky enough to join in on some that are going to be a part of mine from now on. Christmas eve we put together a gingerbread house. We had a good time, I think learned some things for next time. The roof kinda fell off, and a little bit of decorating could be done before putting it all together. We watched some christmas movies. And we had "gadunkas"???? I'm not exactly sure how it's said or spelled, Ginny will have to fix that for me. It is just a bunch of snack foods set out, eat what you want and have a good time. And that we did.
Before bed we heard the christmas story, and Ginny's dad related the time he saw santa. then we opened a gift and it was time for bed. That night I had some of the most restless sleep in years. It must have been the christmas excitement keeping me up. Skyler was so excited Christmas Morning, he enjoyed everything he got, he is a good boy.
Then we came over to dad's in Iowa, and opened more presents. This has been the best Christmas ever, and not because of these gifts. Being with the woman I love and always will has been the best gift I could want. Still have Christmas with Mom on sunday and then the New Year will begin.
Everyone have a Merry Christmas season, and a Safe and enjoyable New Year.

Ready or not Here It Comes!

2007-12-21T17:05:00.000-08:00

So what are your plans for Christmas this year? I am headed over to Ginny tomorrow until Christmas day. After that we will be coming back to Iowa for Christmas with Dad. And Christmas with Mom will be next weekend, Sunday I think. I should probably get some shopping done. Any ideas for last minute shoppers. I always figure bank pens and trash bags are the best gifts, so if I don't get any other suggestions that is what you should expect.

Well, we got some pictures done

2007-12-19T18:58:00.000-08:00

Thank you Marcia! You did a pretty good job. Out of the hundred and thirty eight or so Pictures you took we narrowed it down to a couple we really like. Thank you.

It was kinda cold trudging out in the snow but we made it, and with all our toes still attatched.

Yayyy!! Snow Day(well ice actually)

2007-12-11T06:26:00.000-08:00

Remember those days when you were little and going to school. Well, me neither, I've never been little, and I have a bad memory. But what I'm getting at is, how excited we were when we heard that school had been cancelled. And, so we would dance around in our pajamas and decide all the fun things we would do that day. Now, it's more like a dreaded day. Especially since this week is finals and I may be almost ready for the tests but not quite there yet. I guess that gives me another day of studying before I take the tests.
I kinda think I should get some pictures of the ice coating everything, maybe later, but it's cold out and I am in my pajamas, don't even think about it.

*Update*
Well I wanted to get some pictures of the ice, this is day two of having no class, for me.

So I've told 'em all

2007-12-03T15:20:00.000-08:00

Well that is except Ronda. I'm not going to though. She is special, and I emailed Martin, he is a little harder to get ahold of. But, I think I let everyone else know. Well, if not, you figured out somehow.
So, what do you need to plan for when your getting married? Do I need to go out and get all my vaccinations? Buy a tux? Book a cruise for the Honeymoon? I need some suggestions. Help me! I'm just kidding, I think I have it under control for now. Call back in a month or so.So, I made some bread today. Not that kind, this kind. Well I should say I baked some Bread, I think that is the technical term for it. Notice the steam coming out the bread. It is good. Good day to do it. Freezing cold outside, come in for a nice warm slice of bread.
Well You all have a good day

Well, she didn't say no.

2007-11-28T19:15:00.000-08:00

So I guess that makes me just about the happiest Man in the world. If you are confused that's okay. Just ask and I might explain more. I finally proposed, and made it official. Even though we have pretty much been planning the wedding for the last couple/few weeks. That must mean I'm engaged. Who ever thought this day would come? Well I guess that's about it for now, I need to go and write in my journal. This is one of those days I don't want to forget.

My Entrance into blogging.

2007-11-20T14:05:00.000-08:00

Well, how does one start. I've read a few others and don't feel like I'm near as good at it as anyone else, so I'll do this for myself.
Today's events are a kind of a close. The last day of school before Thanksgiving Break, "Five Day Weekend." But how much of a break is it going to be. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving dinner with Mom. Thursday, I will be with Ginny's family. So I guess maybe friday I will get to rest, until Somebody tells me what is happening. And then back to school Monday. And just a couple weeks left of the semester at school.
