The Amazing Adventures of Corinna and Adam

Published on February 18, 2008 by Corinna Carlson | 0 Comments

Last week was a seriously huge week for Adam and me. We were both completely absorbed in ourselves, I a bit too much.

We had the absolute pleasure of selling our very first Sock Monkey to Phaedra, the ‘official’ site where they will be available is not finished yet, just email us through the contact page if you want details on obtaining one. We have now sold two monkeys.

Bobby *sold*

Phaedra’s Monkey who she has named Bobby has already been out on the town ripping it up. Here he is hanging out with Marc Emery. Oh, I know one of OUR Monkeys is hanging with Mr. Emery, CRAZY!!!. ROCK ON BOBBY!! The Monkeys we make for people never cease to make us proud.

Looks like Bobby will be joining us bowling as well, and the Bollwitt’s [R and J] have a Monkey and we have the original Dr. Vegas so who knows what sort of monkey business will take place. Naked bowling as per Keira’s comment and Monkeys? I’d say sponsor us or I mean me. [Please]

My Parents also dropped the HUGE news on us that they are moving to Asia, Bali to be exact. Everything is happening extremely fast right now. They put their house on the market last week and it is sold already. Adam and I are currently in negotiations with them over what we can have, buy, lease, and/or ship of theirs. Right now we are very concentrated on the Yamaha piano that I played growing up and some other stuff. It’ll be interesting I don’t think we can fit the piano in here Adam says we can and he wants it really really bad. I think our land lord is going to kill us but oh well we only like her 50% of the time anyway.

The kicker the hugest news of all is that my parents are I kid you not, flying us out once a year. Did I mention they were moving to Bali? They are having a house built for retirement and of course once the insanity of knowing we get to go to BALI ONCE A YEAR wears off [if it does] I wonder what phases I’m going to go through with this? I’ve already mentioned to my shrink that I feel like I am losing my ‘Northern Roots’. He said that is normal but it is just starting to bother me. There was a big deciding factor in their decision to go so far away that did consider us, but I’m choosing to keep it private at this time.

That news combined with the sock monkeys starting to sell has us both really excited and really busy. The possibilities feel endless right now.

    PS: ALSO:

    Bali? Holy effing ess! That’s what happens when you live in the wastelands of Northern BC for a long time. The snow cracks you up and one day you’re like, tropical island em effs! We’re going! Eat our dust! If there was any dust because when there’s snow, there’s just no dash-dust hanging around.

    Why, congratulations on your entrepreneurial debut! When you’re rich, I expect more meat and cheese plates.

    Also, I’m an ass because I’m so slow at doing my knitting that you had to go get your own leg warmers. LAME. I should remedy that asap. OOOH I also need to take photos of David posing in mine. Hmmmm…

    CONGRATULATIONS on your monkeys – that is soo freakin’ awesome, it almost hurts!

    love love love your sock monkeys and ummm, I don’t know that going to Bali once a year would ever be a bad thing EVER. I would gladly lose my roots if it were to go to Bali once a year…I’m such a sell out! Sounds awesome. I’ll take your place if you ever don’t feel like going. I have a feeling your parents and I would get along swimmingly!!

    Wow! congratulations on your new monkey selling business. You and Adam make the best sock monkeys in the world so selling them is a brilliant idea.

    And your parents moving to freakin bali??? That is so close to australia!!! My parents went to Bali on a holiday and loved it. It’s so cheap there. What an insane place for a couple of canadians to go and retire, yet brilliant! that’s awesome :)

    Hells Yeah!
    Joe is currently in talks with a major label for his first album entitled “Throw Dat Sh#t!”…. Me and Bert are talking to our Indie Label about possible royalties for the third track entitled “Pie in your eye” … Legal action looks unavoidable…

    The boy makes a good coffee though. 2 sugars please.

    @C.J you have a super cool monkey.

    @Phaedra and we are so glad you do!!! :)

    @Dan yeeeeees we are coming tomorrow and looking forward to it, im fighting off a cold but KEY WORD is fighting!!!! holy we feel like the two most spoiled people in the world right now. we didn’t think we’d be vacationing again for a long time and that our honeymoon would basically be it for like 10 years.
    AWESOME on the monkey, talk to adam tomorrow night, he is not going to NV so to save you shipping costs i bet he/we but likely he’ll be able to make it before you leave.

    @Christopher hey you! thanks a lot for your comment, and that would be awesome of you! :) i had a feeling you may just pop over on this one. glad you and lester p. are still madly in love. :)

    @Lyvvie thank you, we are very excited!! and yes if you wanna fly to Bali to hang and meet us bring it on! :)

    @Rhonda oh do you?!? :P

  • Rhonda

    I think Phaedra should talk to Bobby about the crowd he is hangin with :)

    Oh My god! how wonderful!! Monkeys!! Bali!! What fabulousness has become slathered upon you, and can I scrape a spoonful??

  • Christopher

    I think the sock monkey thing is really going to take off. I love Lester P. and he loves me (although he won’t admit it in public. He’s one proud monkey)
    A lot of people ask about him and I shall point them in your direction.

  • http://www.towards-utopia.com Dan

    woohoo! I’ve been waiting for news about how one might go about getting his hands on one of your sock monkeys! Put me down for one!!

    That is pretty cool news about Bali, at least from the side that you’ll now have a really nice (and cost effective) vacation spot you’ll always be able to go to :) Good luck getting the piano!

    and BTW I hope you guys are still planning on coming out tomorrow night! I’m very much looking forward to seeing you/meeting you again! :)
