mad lib

i thought we might all like to brush up on our parts of speech before proceeding with this post.......

ad-jec-tive

an adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words.

ad-verb

an adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened.

noun

a noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract idea.

verb

a verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state (being something).


ok, if i haven't scared you off with all that learnin', let's get onto the story.

a letter from the road
-a mad lib by rychelle-
(extremely funny, if read with an accent)

travelogue, day 1



today we toured the insert adjective oquirrh mountain temple. i don't think i've ever seen a more insert adjective chandelier in all my life. good work, mormon craftsmen. i left with a feeling of peace, despite the insert number blister(s) formed on the bottom of my insert body part. (but, boy, did i look hot in those 3 inch heels. i'm kinda' surprised i didn't meet my future husband on that tour. i feel slightly insert adjective/still inspired and holy-like.)



following the temple tour, we headed out to kurt and amanda's insert adjective wedding. the bride looked insert adjective as she insert verb down the soggy isle. it's a shame we couldn't hear any of the ceremony, due to the fact that we were seated right next to the insert adjective ducks. but, it was entertaining to watch the insert adjective guests consume mass amounts of insert liquid and then try to navigate the un-even and insert adjective terrain. (note to self: doughnut holes + wedding cake = two things i truly love, but it's kind of like crossing a penguin with an owl. it sounds like a good idea, until you end up with a pengowl.)



travelogue, day 2

today i met up with insert noun (person) and insert noun (person) at insert noun (place) for scones. (note to self: find out why they do not have a "scone place" in las vegas.)

travelogue, day 3

today i began a two day day road trip with a two year old. insert adjective idea!



my favorite person and i began our adventure by having lunch with the insert adjective and insert adjective camille. she is even more insert adjective in person, than she is on her blog. i seriously contemplated purchasing her sister's house, just so we could be closer to one another, enabling me to insert verb her in person on a regular basis.

after lunch, we continued on to grandma and grandpa taylor's place where we insert verb cookies, played kick ball, watched tractor shows (who knew there were entire programs dedicated to tractors?!?) and petted the insert plural noun, insert plural noun and insert plural noun.



travelogue, day 4



after insert verb (ending in ing) our breakfast of pancakes and eggs, my favorite person and i hit the road once more. this time we headed towards the insert adjective city of idaho falls, to visit our insert adjective uncle, hott blair. we enjoyed our time there by graffiting the pavement with sidewalk chalk, playing with "that kid" and giving long, contemplative and curious stares to brant. (he really is a insert adjective looking fellow.)



travelogue, day 5

home again, home again, jiggety jig......today we insert adverb headed back to slc. the highlights of today's journey were driving through the insert severe weather condition, hitting insert adjective bumps in the road and peeing outside! (note to self: get yourself one of those two year olds. they make road trips, and life in general, a lot more insert adjective.)

travelogue, day 6



let me just say that joel mchale is freakin' insert adjective! i don't think i've insert verb that much all year. (note to self: don't bother visiting your father's birthplace, magna ut. although it sounds like a hilarious adventure, i'm sure the reality of the place would be depressing.)



travelogue, day 7



today i joined a group of insert adjective bloggers for lunch. it turned out to be a insert adjective experience. although many of my favorite bloggers were absent, i got to insert verb all kinds of new ones.



"the girls" (i want to clarify that by "the girls" i am referring to the women in my family, not my breasts. although, my breasts were also present) and i ended the evening by going to see the proposal, at the insert noun (place). although we were insert number minutes late, i don't think we missed much. the show was both funny and insert adjective. (note to theatre: if you're going to make me sit in an assigned seat, it would be nice if you provided me a way to find said seat in the dark.)

travelogue, day 8

today is a insert adjective day. it's time to leave slc and head back to insert noun (place). but, on a positive note, i got to make the insert number hour drive with heidi! we played MAD LIBS on the way home, which made the trip seem like only insert number hours long. there's nothing like laughing your insert body part off, while driving insert number miles per hour. believe you me, we will be insert verb about this trip for years to come!

Erin said...

I love your insert adjective Mad Libs! They are you are just plain awesome.

NIKOL said...

I'm jealous that you got to see Joel McHale and attend the bloggy lunch.

Have you ever seen Napoleon Dynamite Mad Libs? They're flippin' sweet.

Shellie said...

Jillene said...

This post is FREAKING AWESOME!! I am glad that you had a great trip. But I am way sad )0: that I didn't get to see you here or in Vegas. )0:

amber belmonte. said...

Lara said...

Looks like you've had an (insert adjective) (I choose FABULOUS) vacation!

And why don't they have a scone place in vegas? That's weird. Maybe you could start one up and make oodles of money.

Amander said...

Wait, why are you so hilarious??

Also, I love that you ended up road tripping with your favorite person!

Amander said...

Oh, and you look pretty in those pictures. All of them.

Barbaloot said...

I am (insert adverb) 9insert adjective) that I didn't get to see you while you were in Utah. Boo.

Machen family said...

I love you and your blog!! It was so great, I just wished that I was able to attend Joel Mchale with you. This was the greatest post EVAH!

Kristina P. said...

BTW, I had to tell you my Mad Lib story. I was in elementary school in California, and of course all Mad Libs were dirty Mad Libs. So, my neighbor friend and I used to put dirty words in the blanks, and my mom found them.

So my mom and her mom had to have The Talk with us. We didn't even know what most of the words meant!

Haha. Who am I kidding. Of course I did. I was a ho bag.

And yay for In the Heights!

Brittany Marie said...

I'm sorry I missed Joel AND the bloggy lunch. Boo!

PS: You're right: Never visit Magna. Ever.

Dads(2) said...

the Gold Angel Moroni on top was struck by lightning--you attended the opening--hmmmmm, just sayin! ;-)

Melissa said...

If I had only known YOU were going to be at the blogger lunch......crap!

Martha H. said...

You get to have all the fun.

I can't believe I missed meeting you AGAIN! What the crap is up with that?

Wendyburd1 said...

LOVE the pics and tell that Hott Blair..where are all the posts man??! And it is SYTYCD season too, I was expecting all sorts of great posts from him on the dances!!

Maren-Moo said...

Yes please find out why they do not have a scone place in Vegas. That information would be very very useful as well as informative.

sara said...

Wow, you are so creative/ amazing/ stunning/ inspiring (I guess I got a little excited with my adjectives.)
What a creative post. You crack me up!
I'm glad you're back!

Whitney R said...

Oh man, after going up to make sure I knew what an adjective was about 5 times I got tired. The only one I know is noun and verb. It's a problem. English is my worst subject and no matter how many teachers try to teach me what each one stands for - it never sticks.

You are very clever, though! And it looks like you had a great time. THe temple looks so much like the Rexburg one I thought you had come here! I about typed in all caps wondering why you didn't tell me. But, I forgive you - it was just a look alike :)

And I'm jealous, I really wanted to see Joel. Both Jaren and I wanted to. We heart him.

Amy said...

Mad Libs are my favorite. I even have the app on my iphone so I can endlessly entertain myself at the expense of whomever happens to be trying to talk to me at the time.

Poor person trying to talk to me: "So then the doctor told me sister...."

Me:
"Wait, gimme a plural noun! Oh, were you saying something? How about a number between 1 and 10"

Omgirl said...

I used to love to do mad libs as a kid! My dad told us we always had to use words like scabs and puss and mucous or it wasn't funny. Love that dad! Anyway, I'm sorry I missed seeing you. I was in charge of a ward activity at the same time (well, slightly after, but I had to prep). next time!

Lady of Perpetual Chaos said...

That post was fabulous....and humbling because I couldn't remember the difference between adjectives and adverbs. *sigh* But meeting you was fabulous! You're just as adorable in person. And very brave to take a 2 year old on a road trip.

b. said...

I'm (insert adjective)(insert negative emotion) I missed you...again!

It looks like you had a (insert adjective) time!

Marie said...

Oh , My FAV-o Rychelle!! your back!!
OK, HANDS-DOWN this is the best blog post EVER!!! I was laughing till I pee'd...I totally forgot about "ad-libs"!!
Glad your back , wish I wasn't on VACAY when the bloggy-lunch took place :(!

tiburon said...
