Painting

I told Cal that I would help her try to finish with her painting of the house. You can see how much of a help I was. This one's for you, Tay:







The Office Quote of the Day:

Dwight: "The purse girl hits everything on my checklist: creamy skin, straight teeth, curly hair, amazing breasts. Not for me... for my children. The Schrutes produce very thirsty babies."

Scranton, the Electric City...

So I finally did something today. Yes, I still watched some more Office, but at least I was productive and multi-tasked. I finally got all of my pictures onto discs. I will now be safe if my computer ever crashes. (Cross my fingers that that will not be anytime in the near future!) It was fun to look at old pictures and video clips. I've come up with some great ideas of what I'm going to do with them. For sure I will be making additional posts with lots and lots of pictures!!

I've got another great video from The Office. I know that there are a select few of you who really appreciate my dedication to this wonderful TV show at this point in time. I love when I go through random phases where I'm addicted to something. Anyways, this is the whole video to the brief clip that was seen in the episode when the Scranton and Stamford branches merged. Michael's way of doing Orientation for the newbies.








The Office Quote of the Day:

Dwight: "In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, 'Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me and I'm dead.' Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion, you're dead.

New Apartment

Now that we've finally pieced together random furniture for our apartment, I've finally taken pictures of this place. I guess this post is mainly for the mother and aunties.

Here's pictures of my bedroom, taken from each corner:



Here's my closet:


And the living space:



Laundry room/Pantry:


I have thoroughly enjoyed the new place. Especially compared to the housing monopoly in Provo. I only pay $20 more a month in rent then I did at the last apartment, and this one is SO much better.




The Office Quote of the Day:

Michael: "Alright, since I am the boss I will drive as well. Who wants shot gun?"

Stanley: "You can't be serious?! You ran a woman over this morning."

Michael: "Everybody inside the car was fine, Stanley! [To camera:] Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh, I don't know, I sing in the shower. Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me......no, don't sue me. That's the opposite of the point I'm trying to make."

At some point I'll update.

I've had a little bit too much fun rewatching the seasons of The Office. As a result, I haven't done things that I should be doing. My room is starting to get messy, my desk is unorganized at the moment. I didn't do laundry this weekend when I probably should have. And I've been a complete slacker about getting all the pictures from my trip home onto discs to send out to everyone (Sorry LeLe).

Soon I will be back to normal life. But right now I'm having fun! I've discovered that the Bonus Features on the DVDs are totally worth watching. The deleted scenes is like watching an additional 10 minutes of an episode. It's great, i never realized how much I was missing out on. Here's a music video about Dwight that I saw on the season 3 DVDs:

(***Disclaimer*** - There's a naughty word in it. So tune out at about 1:30 to 1:32)





Michael: "You'll notice, I didn't have anybody being Arab. I thought that would be too explosive, uh, no pun intended. But I just thought, "too soon" for Arabs, maybe next year. You know, the ball's in their court. "

I ♥ The Office

Don't worry, I'm not professing my love to my actual job. You would probably have to be worried about me if I got to that point. One of my most favorite TV shows is "The Office". It totally cracks me up. At first I wasn't the biggest fan, but I finally got used to the humor in it and now I think it is absolutely hilarious! Definitely, my most favorite part of the series is Jim and his constant pranks on Dwight:



I can watch this show over and over again, and still find it so funny. I love watching it with Auntie Cal, cause she cracks up about as much as I do when we watch it. The latest season just came out on DVD, and the new season starts in almost 2 weeks. I couldn't be more excited!! I've been rewatching the previous seasons to catch up for the premiere of Season 5. Yay!! My only wish is that AD, Lauren, Tay, Scott and I were all in the same place so that we could watch it together, because I know they appreciate it as much as I do!

This is How...

Only my immediate family, or really close friends, know where "Moggy" came from. It's a name I've lovingly been called in my family (mostly by Taylor and Lauren) for about 7 years now. When Alli was a baby, finally stringing her first words together, and already able to say "mom" and "dad", we (the rest of the Nuttall kids) decided it was time for her to be able to say our names too. I vividly remember being in the hot tube of our pool in the Houston house, with Alli floating around, trying to get her to say all of our names. "Say 'mommy'..." and down the list I would go. I'd leave my name for last. She just quite couldn't get the hang of it. "Meredith" became "Moggy". I tried so hard. I even broke it down. "Say 'Mere'...", and she'd say 'mere' just fine. Then, "Say 'dith'...", and again, she'd say that part just right. I thought she would get it. So I combined it together for her again. "Moggy!!", is all that would come out. I tried and tried, but to no avail. The rest of my family thought it was hilarious. Taylor started calling me it nonstop. In the beginning, I was not a fan at all. I mean, come on, it sounded like "Soggy". Who would want to be called something that could be confused with that. But eventually (thanks to Taylor) I started to get used to it and decided maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all. To this day, I'm Moggy. With Lauren it's usually "Mogs" and with Taylor it's usually "Mogster". So there you have it.

I gave into the blog craze. I don't know how well I will actually keep up with it, so we'll see. Hopefully it won't be like Mom's (a once in a lifetime thing). Mom - I challenge you to prove me wrong and post more! Hopefully I will be able to document the happenings of my life and you can see "How I Became(/Become) Moggy". I've enjoyed reading my siblings blogs. (AD - you're the last one holding out...the 8-year-old doesn't count!) I hope they continue on with theirs and make it so that I will want to post more myself.

For now the main picture of my blog is a picture with Sam, the newest addition in our family. I tend to not have many pictures of myself, because I pretty much hate them. This is one of the few that I like, and I absolutely adore this dog! So, maybe I am forcing him a little bit in this picture, but he honestly loves me, I swear! There you have it, I am now a "blogger". Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure they would be a motivation to post more!
