Street Dancing in Paris

Hopefully soon I will be able to put up my pics from London/Paris. In the meantime, here were some street dancers that busted a move for us...It kind of reminds me of when I dance. See Below.




(Yes, I realize this is the worst pic of me in the world but it's so funny how could I not post it!)

Katie's Commercial

I work for a place that designs and prints coupon doorhangers. My niece, Katie, came to my office and decided to do a commercial for us...so funny. And yes, we Leupens are ALL this cute.

Happy Thursday - Our Twinners!

Ok, so this last weekend Hosanna and I were at a cook-out and then all of a sudden 2 of the guys started impersonating our videos. So of course we grabbed a computer and made them do it for us. Unfortunately, you can't understand a word they say because the rest of us were sitting around laughing so hard. But let's be honest, you can never understand H and I either. You'll notice their homage to the Mullet Video and of course there are plenty of "How am I single, America?!" and PTL's.

Happy October!

An Immigrants Tale

My friend Betsy showed me this video and I laughed out loud. So if you haven't seen this video of JT on SNL...enjoy.

Life of the Party.

Now granted we did not getting any official confirmations from the people we invited over for Waffles and Cards...but really? Did it have to come to this?

THE BEST Service Announcements

The More You Know...watch the first 40 secs of each video. Hysterical.

Church Announcement

Here's one of my church's video announcements...I love anything with dancing.

Happy Thursday - Urban Legends

Oh dear. I don't even know how to warn you about this video. Just know that YES, we realize we need medication. We were just trying to tell a simple story. I can't help it if we get distracted every 10 seconds.

Words of Wisdom by Deborah Jane

hahahahaha. When my sister saw my last post she looked at me and said, "It's just as easy to fall in love with a rich guy as it is a poor one."

My Beach House.

I grew up in NC near the beach. I just didn't appreciate the ocean then...I think some of it had to do with being a teenager and not wanting to be seen in a bathing suit. Not that its at the top of my list now.

However after living in Dallas for 12 years I soooo miss the ocean! Hence, I've decided to add to my 10 year plan (after marrying a millionaire) Buy A BeachHouse.

Happy Thursday!

I can't help it I have the most fun friends! Lauren and Tony just had their 2nd little one only 2 weeks ago...but I still invite myself right on over! And of course we made them join this weeks vlog.



Take Two:

30 seconds of my life at the office...with Michael Scott.

This is not the first time Amy and I have come to work dressed the same. We're kindred spirits the two of us and that's just what happens. So why not vlog it. We didn't take into consideration that our 3rd Kindred Spirit would also want to be in the vlog.

Craft Time with Aunt Leslie

Shoes Update...

My friend Laura saw my post on the yellow shoes I wanted, sent me a link for some look-a-likes, and now I have them! And I didn't even have to spend $250...more like $25. One day when you become a bigwig like me, maybe you too can have your own personal shopper.

Katherine's wedding!

I realize I wasn't the one getting married...but it sure felt like it! Katherine sometimes would look at me and say "you do realize all these people are coming in for me and not you, right?". Yep, I really did forget it wasn't about me. But leave it to the bridezilla to remind me.

The absolute greatest part, for me, was having all my best friends there. None of us live close to one another and since everyone is married with kids, it usually takes a wedding for us all to get together. Oh but when we get together...pure greatness! Somehow they can ask me one question and within seconds I'm in tears as I'm talking of my biggest insecurity and struggles. Then 5 minutes later we are laughing hysterically at something one of us did in school. Each one of them has played such a strong part in who I am today. Each of them I could go to with a problem and know that I'm getting sound Godly advice. I know that each one is FOR me, always cheering for my team. They think the best about me, even when I haven't deserved it. They know all the yucky parts that make up me and yet they love me so. I don't get it. But for whatever reason, I sure lucked out. Katherine, Tami, Bethany, Mary, Laura...I LOVE YOU.

Some of these are some random pics. Wanted to put in a pic of Mom & Dad Killmon and a pic of Gene where you could actually see his face! And such a good looking face at that. If you want to see their profesh pics go to... http://www.julielimblog.com/katherine-gene-wedding-the-oaks-waterfront-inn/

Happy Thursday - with Jono!

Ok, a couple things you need to know before you watch this. 1) it's incredibly long. But look, it's me and Jono...both who are long-winded...and Hosanna wasn't here to cut us off mid-stream. 2) I think there is a revival of the mullet going on here. When you get a side shot of me, take a look at the hair action. It's pretty fantastic looking.

Yellow Heels - my heart be still.

This might shock some people...but those that have seen my closet know something about me...I love shoes. High-heeled shoes. I've tried to wear flats but unless their sneakers, I'm not having it. I even have some low heel shoes but they're just not as comfortable as my high ones. I can't explain it.

This last year I have been on the hunt for the perfect yellow heel. I want them to be the perfect height so I can wear them with jeans to work or with an outfit to church. And I want the right shade of yellow too. I don't want mustard or pale yellow. OH NO! They must be bright yellow. (Tami, this whole talk of yellow reminds me of our car ride to NC when Carl W. talked about why yellow was his favorite color...do you remember that?)

I said all that to say this...I finally found the perfect yellow shoe! I'm so excited. One problem. They are Dolce & Gabbana $490. BUT they are on sale for $250. I'd have to say that is the Lord, right? He's giving me a bargain! Oh dear, I need help over here.

Happy Thursday - Grandma or Monkeys?

Happy Thursday! This one's for my girls.

So You Think You Can Dance?

Why yes, I think I CAN dance. And it looks a little like this...

Once you push play, you will then need to click on "watch on youtube".

Happy Thursday

If at first you don't succeed try, try again.  Really?!  I am not too sure about this, I think at some point it is best to just stop.  And with that said...Happy Thursday!

Doilies and Dinners for 28

Thoughts of a Dieter

So many posts in so few days. I know, I know...contain yourself. I'm sitting at my desk eating grilled chicken - the same thing I've eaten for the last 2 months. For lunch. And for dinner.

For those that don't know I'm in my best friends wedding in 2 wks. That means there's a bridesmaid dress for me to fit into. My own personal hell. Standing next to people of various sizes, but ALL smaller than me, in the same dress. Kill me now.

I will say though that this wedding is especially sweet to me. Katherine is the exact opposite of me - graceful, intelligent, kind, never self serving, and just downright precious. Let me sum it up this way - one of my nieces is named after her. Make no mistake, not one niece is named after me but dear Katherine has herself a namesake. Plus, she'll be marrying Gene who I absolutely love. And who hopefully is ok with sleeping on the couch when I come to visit.

Ok, I got sidetracked...back to eating grilled chicken. Today, June 21, 2010 am now officially tired of it. I feel like I'm going to start clucking at any minute. And I miss Coke. And for those that have always dogged me thru the years about my love for Coke, let me fill you in - NO, I didn't lose weight when all I did was stop drinking it and NO, my complexion didn't get any better. 2 months of drinking 3 liters of water a day and I still get pimples. Yes, even at the age of 34.

I've lost 1/3 of what I need to be at my ideal weight. I have no idea however how I will stay on course when I get back from the wedding and no longer have the threat of a too-small-to-fit bridesmaid dress. A couple weeks ago I thought I had lost enough for now and would just coast thru til the wedding. Then I gained 6 lbs in 5 days. Apparently I'm not a coaster...I'm a gainer or a loser. You know, I just got a fantastic idea...for my next goal I'll just buy a size-too-small wedding dress and plan to fit in it since I AMMMMM getting married sometime this year. Whew...problem solved.

Now back to my chicken. cluck, cluck.

Intruders Beware!

We had all just finished swimming...please keep this in mind when you see us...Anyway, Woody wanted to have Hosanna do some target shooting. Yes, we have a shooting range in our backyard now. Leave it to Woody to come up with all kinds of contraptions. H was a complete natural and in her 2nd shot was already in the lead. A naturaly athelete, some might say.

Rock Stars!

This video is proof that God enjoys our Happy Thursday videos. Please notice the light that is being shown down on my head. Also, please put all dogs in another room when playing this video. Because if you don't at 3:47 into this video they WILL be howling.

Happy Thursday!

Oldie but a Goodie!

Hosanna went out of town and her flight was delayed by 2 days. Yes, 2 days. Only H knows how to tack on extra vacation days like that. She's a genius, that one. We weren't able to do a new vlog so here's a favorite old one.

Captivated

I was watching a TV show and at the end of the episode they had this romantic dinner set up for this couple and the music in the background was "I am...I'm captivated by you". My romanticism kicked in and I looked up the song.

The artist is Shawn McDonald who I had never heard of...This isn't too surprising since my music knowlege is limited (to say the least). He's actually a Christian artist and this song is written to My Savior. My compulsiveness kicked in and I bought a couple of his albums on the spot. And I have loved them! Enjoy this love song to our Creator.

We're Definitely Back.

This vlog comes with a side game: see if you can count how many times Hosanna sings her words. Oh, she makes me laugh.

Happy Thursday - my vaca in Frisco!

Blake...The New White Collar.

My nephew Blake's style has been inspired by Matthew Bomer from the show White Collar. He finally saved up enough money to get the hat...and now the outfit is complete. So handsome!

Happy Thursday - Celebrity Sighting!

Guest Vlogger this week! And stay tuned to find out what celebrity I spotted this week. Of course, he just might be telling people that he spotted me.

Happy Thursday - Anger Management

Oh dear. Have your finger on the volume button. And whenever it looks like I'm about to talk...turn it wayyyy down. My anger management classes obviously haven't been working very well. Our guest vlogger this week is Hosanna's fantastic sister Rebekah.

Happy Thursday - My online date!

How in the world is it Thursday AGAIN??? They keep whipping right by me. And these last couple days have been a doozy because I've been sick & coughing non-stop. I've come to realize that I'm not sickly but I sure am sick often.

So here is a video that I sent to my friends last year (or was it 2 yrs ago?) and told them "I just met this guy online...Here is his video. I really like him. What do you think?" All my friends knew it was a joke...except for ONE. Who emailed me back and said, "Well, he seems nice. I bet you'll have a lot of stories for me." Oh dear. I realize I'm OLD & SINGLE. But even I have my limits.

Happy Thursday...Ghost of Germany Past.

Thank you Hosanna for uploading this video! This is footage of us in a town square crushed up against people, waiting for some angel to fly out and say "Christmas is Here"...or something like that in German. As you can tell in the video, Stac is in heaven the whole time :)

The attack of the Guest Vlogger

Ok, so surprise surprise...neither Hosanna nor I looked that great this week. Shocking, I know. But no problem - we will still give you something nice to look at. The bottom video is pretty fantastic :)



Bloopers...

First Date of the Year

We're back...Happy Thursday!

Oh dear. We are back! New & exciting things are going on for Hosanna and I in the year 2010. What are they? Well, you'll just have to watch and see. Just remember... SAVE THE YEAR!

Germany Pics!

I'm two months late but I'm finally posting some pics of Germany. You will see that my trip was more about being with friends than the actual country itself. I was just so excited to see Stac that everything else was secondary. And what a hostess! She was absolutely fantastic to us... she stocked her refrigerator full of food and when we left, that fridge was empty.

The country was beautiful though. Usually when I travel I end up staying in a big city the whole time, but this was so fun because I actually got to see the countryside. And let's get to whats really important... I found the German men to be really good looking.

The Bachelor!

The Bachelor Is Back! I watched it last night and laughed soooo hard, as well as spent most of it with my hands covering my face because I was embarrassed for them. What is the matter with these people? I was going to vlog it because there was some pretty funny stuff...like the fact Jake throws a football like a girl. Or the fact he cried within 2 min's of the show being on. Or that the only normal girl there (ELIZABETH, YOU CAN DO BETTER!) he didn't pick. But the Crazies? He was all over that mess. Like a moth to a flame. This is going to be one train wreck of a season and I'm looking forward to it.

But since I couldn't vlog it...here is the the funniest recap out there...http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20334460,00.html

The Leupens Sing!

We're basically a modern day VanTrapp family.

BEST VLOG EVER!

Ok, so in 1.5 min's Raina has managed to be 10x funnier than any of my vlogs. Just. Not. Right. This is my best friend, Tami's daughter. Precious.


I guess I should say why Tami had Raina say "mind's well". Basically that was Tami once again making fun of me...

Back in college, I wrote a note to Katherine saying "you mind's well do this". Katherine decided to wait until our gang of friends were together to bring this up - you know how Katherine just LOVES an audience. I didn't understand what was so funny about saying "mind's well". Growing up in NC we used that expression all the time. It wasn't until they said..."did you mean to say 'MIGHT AS WELL'?" that I actually got it. But it will always be Mind's Well to me.

Which reminds me of other things I said that I thought were normal...

Mussmellon. Other people say Cantelope.

"You make me feel like a mansion of a woman". Never understood why any woman would want to feel like a mansion. Is that some kind of fat joke? Then I learned it was Natural Woman. yes...I like that version better.

Hunyuck. This is what my mom would call me when I did something she didn't approve of: "People are going to think I raised a Hunyuck!" Didn't know what it was, but I knew it couldn't be good.

I'm sure I'll think of other ones too.
