Chin owies, payback, and a movie.

Chin owies: if anyone has seen TeamD&G lately and inquires about our chins our response is, "We fell off our bikes." The real answers as to why our chins look like we abuse each other are just too ridiculous to be the truth. 
The truth: For Giulia, what started as zit on our way to Provo (where we spent our weekend as slaves beautifying Keith and Keri's house) took over the right bottom half of her face as she slept. She woke up the next morning with half of Jay Leno's chin attached to her cute, dainty face. One side of her chin had blown up and was filled with zit-like fluids. Yum! That's not even the grossest part. What had once been one zit grew to 4+ other "heads" breaking out around it. That's not the grossest part either. The 4+ "heads" that had been disguising themselves as zits quickly took the form of cold sore "heads". GROSS! Sadly, this is not the worst part. As if this was not enough, some of the fluids (that are just bulging under the skin, giving the Leno chin) worked their way down to her neck, giving Giulia an "AdamsApple" looking lump. This lump was very tender when touched. And although the Leno chin has disappeared and only some scabby "heads" remain on the right side of Giulia's chin, the lump is still there! Ah! Although, thank heavens, it is not as sore or as noticeable anymore. If the lump doesn't disappear soon though, TeamD&G will be taking a trip to the doc'. grrreat. Maybe the doc' will do a "bibopsy and find some teeth of my twin" (My Big Fat Greek Wedding). 
The truth: David's story isn't as long or disgusting. Lonney threw a wood board at him, aiming for his knees. It was a windy day, and the board soared to D's face instead. Konked him right on the chin. David now wears a diagonal cut stretching from the right side of his lower lip to the left of his chin. woops! 
"We fell off our bikes" sounds better. And is a much shorter story! And sorry, no pictures. We don't have a camera. And anyone who saw Giulia's face may have spewed. So, really, it's a good thing that there are no pictures. 

okay, so here is one picture (courtesy of Ashley's facebook)

Notice that the I'm hiding the right side of my face...

And okay, I hate having posts without pictures, so here! This looks 1000x better than it did a few days ago. Lighting is drowning out the redness.

I'm sure the people sitting around me in this little study room on campus thought that I'm extremely strange as they watched me take photos of myself via the mac.


Payback: About a year ago TeamD&G snuck into Rob's garage. Actually, we didn't have to "break in" or crawl through any windows, because the front door was unlocked (at midnight-ish)! How convenient! So, we waltzed into the house, went to the garage and toilet papered the interior of his truck, and saran wrapped the outside (...using TP found in the house and saranWrap found in his kitchen...). If you know dear "Uncle Rob", then you know that he is a practical joker and that he always has his revenge. Well, a year later he finally got it. 
When we were first married, many threats had been made about booby-trapping our condo and the like. D&G would not give the house keys to anyone for anything. However, a few weeks ago, Giulia slipped. 
While Giulia was enjoying a nice breakfast of homemade waffles at Rob's one morning, she left her keys by the front door (as to not lose or forget them). Rob walked out of the office and there the keys were, just singing to him. (Imagine the skies opening, bright light shining through, and a chorus "ahhhh!"ing). This was a providential opportunity, and Rob took full advantage of it. Thinking quickly, he slid the house key off Giulia's key ring, and promptly left to make a copy. Giulia finished her waffle, left to go to her parent's house to find a box of lifeguarding shirts to give to Courtney, and came back to drop off said shirts. As she started the car to leave, Lindsey skipped out of the house holding a key! She said that it was just laying on the floor by the front door and asked if it was mine. "Weird," G thought. She looked at her keys. Indeed, her house key was missing! "It must have fallen off! Thanks Lindsey! How did you notice that and come out just in time to give it to me???" And then Giulia drove home. 
THOSE CONNIVERS!!!!!!!!
When D&G returned from their long weekend in Provo, Rob's Revenge was seen everywhere. Literally. Pictures of him (and Jerrick and Courtney) filled each pictures frame. The couch was moved to the bedroom, and the the bed to living room. For each pair of Giulia's shoes, the matching shoe was hid somewhere in the condo (microwave, cabinets, fan blades...). The bathroom sinks hot water was turned off. 
D&G vigilantly checked other things like: saran wrap on the toilet (nothing), gas turned off (nope), and Kool-Aid in the shower head. When they turned the shower on, no bright colors stream out, so they look up- and lo and behold there is a brand spanking new shower head!!! hahaha! Later we found out that Rob did, in fact, put some Hawaiian punch powder up there. But as he did so, it stained his hands pretty good, and because he does have a heart, he decided to take the powder out. As we he was putting the shower head back on though, it broke. Ha! He was kind enough to install a new one. 
The worst part of his payback so far has been the clocks. They switched the times on ALL of the clocks. We did notice this, and put the times back to normal. However, come Tuesday Giulia found out that she missed one! Giulia was at home, working on homework, thinking that she has 2+ hours until she has a piano lesson. Then she gets a call from Tracey, "Are we doing a lesson today???" It was actually 3:30. Lesson time. Not 1. grrr. "Sorry Tracey, I'll be right over!" :/ 
And if anyone comes to visit, the bed and couch have not been switched back yet. We kind of like it. Maybe it will stay for a while. It's fun having a TV in the "bedroom". 


And lastly, can't wait to see this:
