May the Fourth Be With You

Family Weekly Newsletter

Issue 9 Vol 5

Important Holidays: National Star Wars Day, Cigar Fest, Cinco de Mayo, Brandi’s Birthday

Fun Fact: The actor who played Darth Maul in the Star Wars Phantom Menace is named “Ray Park” who was born in Scotland. He also played Chuck Norris in another movie, so apparently he’s from the badazz side of the family. For anyone who watches Heroes, he is Edgar on that series, so you may also recognize him from that. Long lost cousin perhaps, who is an honorary member of this issue.

Weather:  Just like saying “le” in front of everything doesn’t make you fluent French, preceding words with “el” doesn’t make you fluent in Spanish. But feel free to try, and when your fake accent annoys an immigration officer so much that he deports you to a Spanish speaking country, you will be grateful for all of the Spanish phrases you learned in songs so that you can get around (ie, Feliz Navidad).

Urbandictionary word of the day (by MM): Exhaustipated

When you’re just too tired to give a sh*t

Barson: I see the Cheez-Its spilled on my bed, and Lana laying across it. But I’m too exhaustipated to do anything. Let’s hope I don’t wake up with food in my hair.

Song of the Week: Ai Se Eu Te Pego, Michel Telo (currently #1 on Latin Billboards)

Trainer Tip of the Week: (Temporary special section as C is voluntarily getting her butt kicked at the gym with a trainer) Instead of using tortilla chips with salsa/guac dips, slice up some bell peppers into chunks to use instead. Cuts on the carbs and is healthy!

Notable Accomplishments:  Get well soon cards go to MM as she is having thumb surgery this week. C threw out her drinking arm but it has recovered in time for the weekend. Brandi had a surprise baby shower today at work. Alex’s car hit 180,000 miles. Greggy graduated, and is running the marathon this weekend. C is still on the trivia leaderboard. The stogie bar crawl last weekend was a success.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week:    Celebrity Deathmatch… Combining the cultures: Chiquita Banana Lady (female banana) vs Chewbacca.

FWN Member of the Week: Brandi!     

Brandi’s first kiss was during a truth or dare game on the steps of a school, and she is still good friends with that person. The US city she’s never been to but would like to visit is LA, so she could see all of the places in Pretty Woman, with Hollywood Blvd in particular. Her desktop background is her baby sonogram, and she does not like spicy food.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)

Classifieds: AL will be hosting a Thirty-One Party; be on the lookout for invites.
