1. What's a nickname only your family calls you? 

missy e, urrkuh, fryka and my mom calls me doodlebug or doodles. {dont even know where that came from.}

i am constantly moving stuff around. like, the little knick knacks i have on dressers and such. it's random and weird.

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves? 

currently: when people bring every single one of their kids to the store with them, and let them run crazy around the store. seriously, keep track of your kids. i know i'll probably feel different when i have my own. but for now that's my pet peeve.

my name is eryka...

...and i am addicted to prison break. busy bee lauren, started blogging about this show awhile ago, and i was all hm interesting i dont have time to watch this show nor do i have netflix. well, my hubby did and waaahh la i now have the time to watch. it is amazing, and trust me if you watch you will become addicted. i was about 15 min into the first episode. so, basically moral of this post is to get you to watch prison break. 

love me some wentworth miller. :)


anyways, here in the clark home all is well. we are finally feeling pretty much settled. we love it here, and i have finally met our "landlords" upstairs. they both are really nice, and i think liz and i will get along really well. what can i say things are going really good here, besides the whole headache/random nausea spells. {no I AM NOT PREGNANT!}. oh yeah, im totally cutting my hair tomorrow...are you excited to see what i will do? well, you better be. {hahaha}. you just have to wait to see it. 


peace out bloggers. xox

what we do on a sunday night.

sunday night after dinner at dan's parents house, we all were sitting at the table talking and steph, says "have you guys seen this youtube video of this guy singing happy birthday?". we say no. she pulls it up and thus started the next 20 min or so of all of us cracking up so hard. we watched like 10 of his these videos. oh man. when is say everyone. i mean everyone was cracking up, my mother in law too {even with her trying not to}! haha. 





this is just one of my favs. this guy is so funny. love him!
go over to his channel and watch some more.


i know some people, might think it is mean for us to sit here at laugh at him. i personally feel he is doing it to get laughs and enjoys making others laugh. but, that is just my opinion. 

funny story.

saturday night:

i had just layed in bed, after staying up til 2 am chatting with annie {she was staying the night}. im talking to dan {well, i wouldnt call it talking, he was half asleep}. 

[hear creaking of the stairs {we live in a basement apt and they use the other half of the basement, so they have stairs}]

me: what was that?

dan: the stairs.

[crreeeakkk]

dan: sshhh i think they are coming downstairs

me: hmmm.

[SUPER LOUD NOISE......]

me: {as i grab dan's leg} what the heck was that?!

dan: relax, it was just probably annie trying to turn off that light and did the disposal instead. 

me: i dont think so. please go check. what if annie is dead? {haha i know, im dramatic}

dan: eryka, go to sleep its fine.

me: fine ill be the man, and go check/ 

{dan laughs at me as i struggle to get outta bed.}

[the whole time i am thinking to myself some crazy escape prisoner is coming to get me. haha, yeah maybe ive been watching too much prison break. too much, nahhh!] :)

i go out to the living room, and find annie just laying on the couch, still awake. and alive. ha. 

me: are you ok? 

annie: did you hear that?

me: yeah, what was that?

annie: well..i was trying to turn off the light and switched on the disposal instead. i almost knocked the chair over.

[ we are laughing sooo hard at this point]

me: oh crap, dan was right!

annie: hahaha. 

me: hahaha. well, good night!

annie: good night! 

thank you prison break, for keeping me on my toes and making me think someone is out to get me. lets just hope its wentworth miller. {oh, la la}. 

the end. 

the first dinner.

last week annie came over to help me unpack and such. she even stayed for dinner, it was so fun. we made spaghetti, because it was pretty much the only thing i had to cook in the apartment. haha!

excuse the messy mess. i promise it looks better now, ill put up more apartment tour pictures soon, once we get our comforter! ;)

laugh out loud.

this weeks modern family was hysterical, and this made me crack up so hard. isn't this so true?! hahaha {still cracking up about it} it actually just cheered me up a little. today has been sucky. {oy vey!}
