I decided that it has been way too long since I have been a member of a non-performing band (I think Lemon Chug was the last), so I created one. We are called the Skipping Woodys, and the trio includes myself, Kelli Jelinek and Brooke Romney. I should just let you contemplate this name and not tell the story behind it, because I know there are some of you, without naming names (Mike Romney, Sally and Rusty Jones, Tara Fisher, Alexis Brown, Alyson Nielson...yes Alyson, you are officially grouped with the pervs), who might think this band name has some sort of sexual innuendo. Get your minds out of the gutter...all of you. This band name is nothing of the sort. It comes from a majorly fun weekend the three of us shared in the great state of Idaho. At the end of the trip we decided that the two most quotable quotes from this party weekend were:
(1) "I need some more wood in this room" (said while decorating my living room till 3 am)
-Kelli Jelinek-
(2) "Skipping is so underated " (said randomly)
-Brooke Romney-
Hence the name Skipping Woodys.
Two of my best friends, Brooke and Kelli, flew to a hick state just south of Canada to visit poor little ol' me. Talk about great friends. I actually think they really liked Boise, and will hopefully spread the good word so we can have more visitors come our way. We had such a fabulous time. We ate some great food, we transformed my living room from blah to chic (pictures will come in a future post when it is officially complete) most of which happened after 1 am, we had soul to soul talks, also until the wee hours of the morning, we laughed, and we skipped. I was so sad to see them leave, as were my kids, who adore them, and my husband (although they may not have felt the love, it was surely there). Loves to them both.
The picture of the three of us in my car shows how devoted they were to me and my decorating project. We drove nearly 30 minutes with a jungle in Kelli's face and a wicker and wood chair (Kelli got her wood) caging Brooke in. It was a sight to behold!

I don't know if I should be honored, mad or confused that I am included in that grouping, but I have to admit 'skipping woodys' didn't make me think of how great skipping around is... Sounds like you had a great time! I can't wait to see pictures of your decorating! BTW, you guys look fabulous, thanks to the Brooke and Kelly Modeling 101 class.
It was sooooo fun. Thanks for everything; the gorgeous acommodations, decorating lessons, late night chats, great food, the North End...give your kids a big kiss for me, and Steve a bear hug. He is the greatest. Mike's just happy that he isn't ALWAYS superman, but almost always. Oh, and I want you to blog about Max listening to the Book of Mormon for hours. It is hilarious.
You know it's a good weekend when you almost pee your pants from laughing at least twice a day. The pictures do not do it justice. Don't worry Alyson I was right there with you on 'skipping woodys' -Even with knowing the story behind the name. I must say, it is a difficult task keeping those two on the straight and narrow but I'm up for the challenge. Lyric, I can't wait to do it again!
You guys are DIRTY!!! I am shocked!!! =) hahaha Have to admit...a little sleezy thought flew through my head when I first read the title, thank goodness for the explanation!!!
just because i was willing to pay for your sluts does not mean that i'm a perv! ok ok who am i kidding.
We need to see more pictures of the inside of your house. Sounds like you guys had lots of fun.
