Is anyone still out there?

I need to get back to this again... so here are a few updates...

• I have found Pinterest - and LOVE it - do you know about this yet? Great place to find ideas and share ideas...


• I spend most of my time on Facebook - Yes, i'm a junkie - I can't help it... YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT I'M UP TO!


• We have recently received custody of my 11 year old nephew who is a sweety. So, now we are a household with 3 children - Alex is 14, Cody is 11 and Lauren is 10 (almost 11). It's funny the difference just one more makes to a household - but he brings alot to us.


• I am still in the need of more cowbell - I just can't get enough of it!
  
  
  
  
  

Shopping with coupons and Geaux Saints! ;)

Well, this week, I did my first-ever "coupon-shop" and MAN, did I save some moola! I'm so excited about it! I've been kinda reading up and preparing for it for about a week now, clipping coupons and printing coupons and whatnot. Yesterday, I went to the store with my list and bought $165.00 worth of groceries and paid $86.00!!! Yep - that's right, I got nearly 50% off using coupons - and I didn't even have many coupons! I'm sold. I can only get better from here now. It's exciting seeing that kind of savings on my receipts - just amazing. Who can't use that extra money!?! woohoo!

So, is everyone ready for the Superbowl game this afternoon? We will be heading over to hang out with our friend Donnie and his girlfriend Pam - should be good times as always. Lookin' forward to it. TONS of great food and lots to drink! I love it. I will be cheering for the Saints tonight, even tho i LOVE me some Peyton - but the Saints have never won a Superbowl - so I'm cheering for them tonight! Who Dat?! Geaux Saints! So y'all have a great night and i'll chat with you later taters!

Flying

A poem, by Lauren.

I wonder what it would be like
to fly up high above the clouds.
people saying
that I am amazing,
and I would fly everywhere I know...
through the sky
Here I go!
Soon I will go
as fast as lightning.
and maybe some other people
will come flying with me,
and i hope some do...

Fast Weekend...

The weekend went by ridiculously fast, don't you think? It seems like I just left work, and here I am - right back at my desk. sigh. Oh well. Did y'all have a good weekend? Do anything fun? I really didn't get much done - certainly didn't get everything crossed off my list that I intended to. Here's the highlights as it were...

• Friday night... what did we do that night? I can't even remember... that's how exciting that was! ;) Sat around, had a beer... watched TV.
• Saturday, I ran around all afternoon. Took the kids to open up savings accounts (FINALLY), and ran to the store to spend some of the Christmas money. Tough decisions spending that Christmas money - too long at the store. Lil girl went off to a slumber birthday party that night and we stayed home and watched movies. We watched Knowing and The Invention of Lying. I liked them both.
• Funny story from the bank: While we were sitting there waiting on the lady to enter all of the kids info into the system, I had lil girl on my lap and I was looking in my wallet for their social security cards. I pulled them out and handed them to the lady, and then I noticed a folded up piece of notebook paper in my wallet - not sure what that could be, I opened that up and found Lauren's "toothfairy note" - AUGH! I quickly refolded it and stuck it back in my wallet, but of course - not before she saw what it was. She looked at it, looked at me... looked back at my wallet and looked back at me. She folded her arms and had a very "deep thought" look on her face and then proclaimed "You're the toothfairy! How did you get that note!?" I tried telling her that the toothfairy just left it for me, because it was such a nice note - but she simply wasn't buying it, and I really couldn't keep a straight face - nor could the bank lady. She said "No wonder, I didn't get any money on the nights that I lost teeth and you were already asleep! AND how do you do it? WHAT TIME do you get up in the middle of the night to do that???!!!" ROFL - it was very funny, the whole scene was quite comical and amusing. Oh well - it had to come out sooner or later I s'pose... hahh!
• Sunday was another interesting little something... Alex came home from the neighbors house proclaiming that him and the neighbor girl are now "boyfriend and girlfriend" - WTH? lol! I said - what does that mean? hahh! She's a total cutie and really super sweet. But it's a riot. He spent the afternoon over there and now I guess they are "going out" or "dating" in whatever terms the kids are using now. So, this is his first official girlfriend, I guess we have to lay down some ground rules now. Lauren is not real happy about this whole turn because she is also a friend of Lauren's and she knows that now when she comes over, she'll be hanging with Alex and not Lauren - that's not a good thing. Well, we shall see how this all pans out. hmmmm.

Anyway, that's my weekend in a nutshell - hope you had a good one too!

One more week left...

to shop and get ready... sigh. Can you belive that Christmas is next week? DANG! I know - next Friday! shwew! ;) I really don't have much left to do cuz we are not doing much this year - it's back to basics in our house. That's kind of a relief actually - maybe this will hang over to next year, and the next? I hope so... it's not all about the bigger and better gift anyway is it? No, it's not. Nice and simple - that's all I want!

So, it's been a busy week. My mother-in-law has been staying with us for a few days and we've been having a great week. Eating, drinking and making merry! ;) Last night, my father-in-law got in too and we had a wonderful dinner and a great night. They're leaving today to head back up to Ohio. It was a really nice visit tho' and it was just a spur of the moment thing - so very cool that we got to see them before Christmas! Today, my parents are due to arrive in to Huntsvegas to spend the weekend for a short visit - so yeah - busy week. They're coming in to see the kiddos before Christmas and bring them their Christmas presents and all that jazz. It'll be a very nice visit too - glad we get to see everyone. The kids don't even know that they are coming so it'll be a fun surprise for them - can't wait to see it! hahh! Lauren will be shocked - cuz her room is such a mess and I know my mom'll get on her for that hehhe! yeah - not like my mom ever got on to me for my room tho! whatever... ROFL!

Anyway - that's all that I know for now - hope y'all are having a great morning and I'll talk to ya later! buy bye!

Way to early...

Ya know those Saturdays when you are SOOO looking forward to sleeping in? Yep - this was one of those for me. But of course, I was wide awake at 6 am. WTF? I mean, seriously - it's not often that I get to sleep in, and I went to bed pretty late last night... well, late for me - it was after midnight. So, I should slept in this morning. I was just looking forward to it - and then boom. wide awake. sigh. I hate that. So here I am, flipping through the channels, and surfing the web and there is nothing to do. Everyone else is still sleeping. :( oh well. Not sure what I'm gonna do today. My mother-in-law is in town for the weekend, so we're going to hang out and who knows what. I was thinking about maybe doing some Christmas shopping - but am not too "keen" on that... we shall see.

Anyway, hope y'all are having a great Saturday morning... talk to ya later tater...

Some laughs...

I just got this email and I'm still laughing, here's some funnies...

• I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
• More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
• Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
• I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?
• Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
• I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
• The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
• Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no Internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
• There is a great need for sarcasm font.
• Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.
• I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that every one's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
• The other night I hit a new low at an open bar. I had already hopped on highway blackout when, inevitably I had to find a bathroom. Eventually I decided it was probably on the other side of the bar so I tried to walk over there, but ran into a guy coming the other way. We played that, both go left, both go right game to no avail, so I finally put out my hand to guide myself past and that's is when I realized, yup, that's a mirror I just tried to walk through. And the guy on the other side is me. Even cats can recognize their own image.
• How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
• I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
• I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
• The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.
• A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
• Was learning cursive really necessary?
• Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
• I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
• Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
• Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
• How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
• I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
• Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples,I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's Gas in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"
• What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
• While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
• MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
• Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
• I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
• Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,and you can wear them forever.
• I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu' to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."
• I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
• Bad decisions make good stories
• Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
• If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
• Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem...
• You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
• Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
• There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
• I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
• "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
• I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?
• 'While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for China and USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain that when Chinese athletes don't win, they are executed.
• I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
• I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
• I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
• Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
• As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
• Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
• It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
• I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
• I think that if, years down the road when I'm trying to have a kid, I find out that I'm sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college.
• Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
• Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
• My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
• It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
• I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
• I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
• I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
• The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner.

Happy Monday to y'all! ;)

First and foremost a very happy 13th wedding anniversary to my little bro and his very wonderful wife! Yep, just 13 years ago today they tied the knot in Maria Stein, OH. (actually, I'm shocked that there is ANYTHING on the web about that town - if you've ever been there, you'd understand! hahh) Anywhooooo. Just 4 more days or so til I see my kids again, how bout that? Yep, they've been gone since May 27th - wow. I'm sure my parents are ready to get rid of them, they are sounding a bit tired of it all! ;) I can understand that. LOL. So, Fuddy and I drive to Cinci this weekend and meet my parents up there to get the kids and head back here on Sunday morning. So that'll be nice. I'm looking forward to seeing them now. It'll be about 40 days that we had without them. A good break for all of us! hahh. Well, except for my parents.

What else is going on? Not too much else here. The summer is sneaking away from us quickly. School will be here before you know it. I have to take the kids school shopping and get them ready pretty soon, tons to do. Sigh. Anyway, just wanted to say a quick hello - I have to get back to business here. Hope you are having a really great Monday - as far as monday's go. Take care and chat with you later! ;) buh-bye now.

TGIF!

Thank goodness for Friday's! It's just such a relief to know that you don't have to go back in to work for 2 more days - sigh. I plan on a nice relaxing weekend. Not sure what we'll get - but that's what I'm planning for now anyway! ;) I think that tonight we shall hang out around the house and not do much of anything. I'd like to cook a little dinner and enjoy a glass of wine and just relax tonight. I'm thinking that I'd like to paint tonight - get my paints and canvases out and do a little painting. Maybe I can get Fuddy to paint something too!? He's quite creative too. We shall see. We're planning on going out boating tomorrow, it's ridiculous hot - so not sure how long we'll last out there, but we haven't been out in awhile, so I'm lookin' forward to it. Hopefully I'll get some sun out there too! ;) Anyone got some exciting plans for the weekend? What else is going on? I don't know much else.

Odds and ends...

• 14 days and counting until I see my kids again - not sure if that's good or bad yet... ;) hahh.
• coming up on my 9 year anniversary at work. 9 years? wow - doesn't seem like I've been here that long. interesting...
• Fuddy has his 20 year highschool reunion in August and we are going back to Canton for it. This should be fun - in some ways, I feel more pressure to look good for his reunion than I did to look good for mine - isn't that funny?

That's all that I know - hope you have a great weekend! Talk to ya' later! ;)

Happy bday mom!

Today is my Mom's bday and for a change of pace, she's down here in bama to spend her bday with me! woohoo! We'll have cake and ice cream and get to hang out and chill - sounds like fun! My brother and his wife will get into town late tomorrow night with their family, so hopefully the weather will behave this weekend and we'll have some nice sunny weather for boating - we shall see. Then, next Wednesday - my parents will take off with my kids and it will just be my Fuddy and me all alone - whatever will we do? hahh! ;) guess we'll find something to do...

What else is up? Not much in my world. It's just been crazy, I've been busy at work, so I haven't had much time to get ready for my visitors and all that - i still have tons of shopping and whatnot to do and Fuddy seems to have an aversion to doing that. AUGH. Anyway, got to get back to work - hope you are all having a wonderful day! chat with you later! ;)

I got nothing...

• Lil man went to work with me today for "take your child to work day". He was thrilled, I'm sure. [said in my most sarcastic voice] ;) Nah, I think he really did have an OK time. We got him signed in and got a badge ... he got to do my computer work... all fun for him. It was an easy day today.
• It's ridiculously hot out (well, not ridiculously, but still hot) and my car has no A/C. Yep, no A/C. What the hell am I gonna do about that? You cannot have a car without A/C in 'Bama - it just doesn't work so well in the summer. nope - not so much. I guess I will have to take her in to get fixed, but ... I really don't wanna spend the $ or the time. augh. oh well...
• Fuddy took lil girl on her field trip to the botanical garden today. He said it was very difficult to not be an @sshole. I'm sure it was for him. I just don't know if it was the kids, or the other adults that were ticking him off... hmmmmm....
• Tomorrow is Friday - THANK GOD. I'm so looking forward to that. This weekend we are doing another BBQ cook off - YUM. And by "we", I mean Meeester Seeeemons and Fuddy - mostly meeester seeeemons. We just show up for moral support and to run errands, etc. Someone has to show up to drink some beer - right? right! ;)

OK - that's all that i know right now - I'm outta here. Hope you are having a wonderful Thursday eve - I'm gonna go do a quick run and get ready to watch The Office! Talk to y'all later!

Happy Wednesday!

Is it Wednesday already? Man, I guess it is already... it was an early morning around my house. I woke up to my FuddyDuddy making a racket around the house at 3:30 am. He had decided to go fishing since he was awake anyway. sigh. So, he was getting everything ready to go. Finally, at about 4:15 he got the boat all hooked up and left the house. Good - I could go back to sleep. I was in a nice sleep when at 5:30 am, he pulls back into the driveway and comes back into the house and wakes me up. Boat trouble - he was never able to fish and spent an hour or so out there trying to fix it in the dark. damn. So, I get up and start getting ready for work. While I'm in the shower, I can hear him working on the boat engine in the driveway - doesn't he realize our neighbors are sleeping???! geez. He comes inside as I'm getting out of the shower and asks if I can hear that - YEAH - oh, well... maybe I should wait then. Yeah, maybe you should. hah. So about 7ish, he heads out again, back to the water. I think he finally got the boat running and is out there fishing now. Well, is out there holding a fishing pole at least... I wouldn't necessarily call what he does fishing. :) haha.

In anycase... that's what my little housebitch is up to this morning. Isn't that a nice little hobby for him? sure, whatever - hope it keeps him outta trouble! Then he can get back home and finish all of his housebitch duties.

Odds and ends...

• Happy Earth Day to everyone - do something to save Mother Earth today!
• Tomorrow is Take your child to work day - are you going to do that? I'm considering taking mr. man in - but lil girl is still too little I think. Not sure, I'll decide tonight, I guess...
• Crazy Bitch - I mean, we've all been there, but really???

OK - that's all i've got - hope you have a great day! ;)

My fictitious album cover...

Stolen from my Quacky friend...


Do a Wikipedia random search : that is the band name.
Do a Quotations page random quotes search : the last five to four words is the album name.
Do a Flickr last seven days search : the first image is the album cover art.


I added it all together in MS Paint and here's my album cover:

Well, today is another day...

I'm feeling somewhat better this morning - so let's keep our fingers crossed that I stay that way! ;) Last night was pretty rough. I felt so-so, was making dinner and just got worse and worse... before i know it, I'm snapping at everyone and just completely losing it. I was feeling awful, my head was spinning so bad - I just couldn't take it. I didn't even eat dinner in the end, just sat down with them at the table and watched them eat - went to my room, puked and went to bed. nice, huh? I took my meds which completely knocked me out and i think i was asleep by 7:30 or so. I woke up around midnight to go to the bathroom and I'm not sure if I got up too fast, or what - but as I'm walking to the bathroom, I realize i'm going to be sick and sure enough, I just made it in time. I felt much better after that, and slept OK the rest of the night. I woke up feeling much better, so we shall see. I need to call the doc today and see if they've gotten me that appt with the neurologist yet - I'd really like to get in there right away and at the very least, get some tests run to rule out stuff. This could be just a virus - who knows? weird stuff going on. Most likely, I'm getting stressed out over everything and just going nuts. LOL - well, more nuts than usual - hahh!

BUT - the good news is that today is Friday! hallelujah!!! I am so looking forward to the weekend and just relaxing. I need to get a few things done around the house and just chill. That's the plan right now anyway. I hope to go running tonight and see how that goes. OK y'all - that's all that I know for now. Hope you are having a wonderful Friday morning! Talk at ya' later.... me.

AN IRISH BLONDE IN A CASINO...

An attractive blonde from Cork , Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice. She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'. With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'
As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...'YES! YES! I WON, I WON!' She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.
The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?' The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching.'

MORAL OF THE STORY -
Not all Irish are drunks,
not all blonde's are dumb,
but all men...are men.
