Last Week:
Chup: Oh hey. Guess who was in-line with me at the airport today?
Me: Who?
Chup: Marie Osmond! She was surprisingly normal looking. It was weird because I kept waiting for her to recognize me.
Me: Did she?
Chup: I don't know. But we did lock eyes.
Tonight:
Chup: Oh hey. Guess who was coming into Target as I was leaving?
Me: Who?
Chup: Marie Osmond! She had a load of kids with her. And a head of foot-long black hair extensions.
Me: What does all this mean?
Chup: (answers without missing a beat) She is supposed to be our sister-wife.
43 Pieces of Opinion:
Please let me join your union. I have a little Golden Book of the Osmonds where Donny builds a Robot to help Marie with the chores. I need her to sign it and then my life is complete.
Also I want extensions, too.
And I am both country and rock n roll.
And a Coal Miner's Daughter.
Shhhhh!
(Had to steal it, LVC.)
I think you better count your lucky stars he was at Target and not the Center St. Albertson's.
B. would totally have taken Chup for a husband. I think.
Perhaps this is his subtle way of "hinting" that you need extensions?
I wouldn't worry too much about Marie stalking him...now, if it Linda Ronstadt, there would be cause for distress.
Thank heavens Az took it. It was killing me not to write that.
KILLING ME.
It's too bad YOU didn't see Marie at Target. She probably would have told you that she too reads your blog!
As for the sister wife...suhweet!
Um, I think I am the only one who doesn't know what a sister wife is.. can someone clue me in?
A sister-wife is a term used in polygamous marriages. The thought is that you are not only a wife to a husband, but a sister to the other wives.
It's a term that Mormons used in the beginning, but since they stopped practicing polygamy more than 100 years ago, it's use is archaic. The term, however, is still in use in some of the polygamous sects in the Western U.S.
A sister wife like Marie could be helpful in terms of teaching you important life lessons such as how to make life like (?) dolls, proper use of hair extensions, the secret behind NutriSystem weight loss, and of course, perhaps most important of all, cool dance moves as illustrated on 'Dancing with the Stars (tm)'.
Is Chup sporting a little crush on Marie???? I would never have guessed that.
I am all for sister wives that do toilets, windows, floors, laundry, dishes.......
Please do not start wearing denim dresses.
I would LOVE to be Marie's sister wife! I think I might be in love with Marie as much as Chup is!! OR maybe- I just secretly wish she was my really cook aunt!
chup goes to target without you?
hee, hee
ya'll are TOO much. FUNNY! FUNNY! Did you pee your pants? I might up. Big Love ; )
I must say, Marie is looking pretty fine these days... (Jenny Craig, maybe?) Not that I really like her, i think she is Crazy... her and Paula Abdul need to get together, I think they are sister- wives.
Busting up laughing! Holy Cow. I was stressed out, but not anymore after reading this post. Who needs a therapist when they can just read CJane?!!
she just came with her realtor to look through my house. and once i was in a session with her at the LA temple.
and both times she said she was looking for a really big guy to marry, maybe one that already had a cute wife, she's super busy, you know.
I love reading your blog... always a good laugh. Target is a bit like heaven, you're right. We loved seeing you guys there, we need to get together once your little one is born and let our 2 boys hang out, and you can fill me in on the details of the conversation we ended with in Target (which you both totally left ry and I hanging) :). Here's me email... I'll send you a link to my blog

Hope you're still feeling okay!!
Marie was in my ward in Southern California (1998) when she was working on the Donny and Marie Show.
My sister got to go and hang out with her backstage, just as she (Marie) was going into labor. It was a special moment!
I'm sure it was also a special moment when she showed the missionaries her doll collection....they told me all about it.
Isn't she cute?
So funny and down to earth!
If you are going to have a sister wife it may as well be someone with money. Sounds ideal.
and to think I thought CJane had all the sass in the fam.
Chief will match head-to-head by his 3rd b-day.
just you wait.
Ha! You can have her...she would bring a boat-load of creepy dolls into the union. I couldn't handle that. Although, when my colicky son was a baby I discovered that turning on Marie and her dolls on QVC shut him up. He was mesmerized.
2 summers ago I was in line behind one of the Osmond boys at the grocery store. He dropped his name as often as possible. Really, he should have just had a light up jacket that flashed "I'm Donny and Marie's bro. and I sing in Branson" on the back. He was more impressed with himself than the checker was, that's fer suuure.
C Jane, you are the photo-editing genius!
Just another reason to LOVE Target.
Marie Osmond nothin'; cjane's got the wife of THE Ryan Shupe commenting here!
good luck!
I have seen Ms. Marie as well and I always want her to recognize me too, as my name is Marie. Once in Borders she was next to me buying her books. I had an item on hold and I said in a really loud voice "the book is under MARIE" so that she would look at me and say, "Your name is Marie too, let's be best friends". But she didn't even flinch when I spoke my name. She was wearing dark sunglasses in the store, so maybe she was looking and I just couldn't see!
Hahahahaha cracking up laughing. Maybe she can teach you to dance?
Steve laughed out loud when I read this to him.
Then he got serious as he shared with me his recent revelation concerning Heidi Klum.
Chup is one funny guy!
Her hair extensions are ridiculous.
LOL-- You can ask your husband Chup to bring Marie to your home for free singing lessons. You are lucky to have a sense of humor, husband.
Good Luck!
I got dirt....HIPPA prevents me from sharing, unfortunately.
I'm still holding out for Chup.
Haven't you heard? Target is the new Center Street Albertson's.
ps. Chup (call me)
see main body for my startling comment b...we as a family have kind of a rubbed on noterity with the osmonds...which means we know thm, but they don't know us
That is hilarious stuff!
Once, downtown, I pointed at a guy and said to Lois, "Hey, that guy looks exactly like Donny Osmond. She gave me a classic damn-you're-stupid-stare and said, "That's because he IS Donny Osmond."
Marie's second ex-husband was notorious for making outrageous demands in a retail setting, and saying things like. "Do you know who I AM?". Pretty much anyone who has worked a cash register in Utah County probably has a nightmarish tale to tell...
la yen- it was Jimmy helping make the robot. Or was it that Jimmy
was the robot?
I had a roommate at the Y who was not attending the Y, having graduated long before, I think, who was Donny's #1 fan. Literally. She's ridden in limos with them and everything. But that would be nothing to Marie as a sister-wife.
ps. My first two babies were very late according to the dial-a-birthdate. Hang in there! Cuz like you have any choice.
If Marie becomes your sister wife will you both start doing your hair in "swan bangs" like the El Dorado sister wives? (I hear it's a sign of purity).
Sister wife! Still laughing. He is a funny guy!
