I have four days off this weekend. I even get paid for it! YES! New job and holiday pay in one week, that sooooooo rocks.
Today, I learned a few things, the legal software they use is completely new to me, it's neat though and I've even entered a few clients and it hasn't crashed so I'm guessing it's April proof. I opened two new files, much different procedure than the old office, and that was pretty easy too! We use WordPerfect there rather than Microsoft Word. I have Word and Works on my laptop so I'm not able to brush up on that too much but maybe I can take a class at Vo-tech this fall or something. We used WP at PMM years ago but that was nearly 10 years and many versions ago so my knowledge is outdated. The ladies I work with are sooooooo nice. It's nice to just talk to women and cut up... I needed that.
At my old job, I felt a lot of pressure to get things done, stay busy, be one step ahead. I had a great boss and I absolutely loved working there, but the difference is so night and day. I feel so calm now, I didn't even realize how stressed I was at the time, but I see it now.
I didn't know that the office closed at 4:00 on Fridays and T, one of the other girls, left skid marks from her flip flops out the door. LOL I barely understood her as she flew out of there! Actually, it wasn't quite like that, but she was in a hurry. C and D were still in their offices so I went back and talked to them, thinking maybe it was a holiday thing, but no, it's a Friday thing! WOO HOO! That rocks!
There was one funny situation today, I had two lines ringing at the same time, I put line 1 on hold and answered line 2, line 2 spoke in a thick hispanic accent and said his name was "Jose" and wanted an appointment for his friend who didn't speak English, I said ok, let me put you on hold, and I went back to line 1, he also had a hispanic accent and said his name was "Jose" and wanted an appointment. I thought wait a minute..... so I asked his last name and who his attorney was and he told me, then I went back to line 2 and asked him his last name and his attorney's name and he didn't have one, an attorney, he had a last name, but don't ask me what it was, by that time I was so confused I was happy with Jose no name and Jose name. LOL
My sister emailed me today, she's going to have a C-Section in October, probably sooner though, she's having a lot of problems. Joey starts pre-school in August or so and she can't wait for that. She bought a new Ford Freestar and loves it (so happy for her on that!). Her mom is very sick and may not have too much longer to live, so sad.... And, if all that isn't enough, my sister was in the hospital with kidney stones and had to havve a stint put in! Good grief, when it rains it pours for her!
I have some major plans for tomorrow so I'm going to bed early!!!!!!!!

A quickie.......
Not much time to blog tonight, dinner is on the stove, I've got to make a Wal-Mart run and I need to gas up my car before the gas gets to $3.00 a gallon for the holiday weekend.
The new job started today and lemme tell you I LOVE IT! We had a client walk in today, she was a client at my old office and the look on her face was priceless! She soooooooo did not expect to see me there! LOL
We don't use Yahoo IM there (they use MSN Messenger) but I did figure out how to listen to LAUNCHcast without having messenger on so it's fine, just fine.
There are a couple different things there that I'm not used to, like their fax machine. You fax with the text down, totally different than any other fax machine I've ever used! I know there will be a blank fax in my day soon. LOL They also have one hell of a copier, I'm almost scared to touch it, it's so nice! All the bells and whistles a girl could dream of! WOO HOO!
Ok, my scallops are screamin' at me so I'd better get back to the kitchen. Does it ever end?

TMI Tuesday
1. Are you a member of the mile high club? No, when Bob flies he is highly medicated and completely intoxicated, sex is the furthest thing from his mind.
2. Do you give/get special sexual attention on your birthday/special occasions? Yes, give AND get.
3. a)Stubble... good or bad? On men, yeah, it can look sexy, but not on women.
b)How often do you shave? It depends, 2 or 3 times a week in summer, once in a blue moon in the winter.
4. a)Have you ever let someone else shave for you? Yes
b)What parts? :) My bikini area, my legs........
5. On a scale of 1-10, how much of a pottymouth are you? Oh wow, a 7? LOL, It's pretty bad. It really depends on the people I'm with too. There are a few words I despise and to me they are pure venom.
Bonus (as in "optional"): a)How often do you spend on foreplay? Definition please? LOL Just kidding, it depends on my mood or how much time we have.
b)How long would you like to spend? Totally depends on my mood...... Sometimes that's all I want, other times I don't want it at all!
Now, of course, it's YOUR turn!!!! DO NOT forget to leave your own answers in my comments, okay?! Or don't.....and just be like that. lol ;)

$2 Off Coupons, Woodard Hollow Sunburns and High Winds
Friday night we went to the Miami Sidewalk Sale. No, there were no sidewalks for sale, and very few businesses were selling their wares on the sidewalks but there were carnival rides, dunking tanks and general fun activities all around.
I had seen in the Westco ad in the local paper a $2 off coupon for the wrist bands for the rides. Usually we just buy a few tickets (cause we're poor) and call it a day, but I thought, hey, my kid's worth it and here I have this coupon, I told her she was getting a wrist band. Long story short, you had to take the coupon to Westco before 4:00, hang upside down from a triple bunk bed, pee in an ice maker and flash your hooters to the store owner and his cohorts. Needless to say the paper failed to mention any of this and I did not know we had to go to Westco by 4:00 so my hanging upside down, urinating and flashing did not take place. Thank GOD. Personally, I will NEVER do business with Westco over that little $2 coupon fiasco, but hey, that's their problem not mine.
We spent about 4 hours at the carnival and really had a good time, the rides were worn out, too old and rusty, the carnies were creepy, toothless and nasty and I kid you not, three of them were trading rides for cigarettes TO CHILDREN! Ok, they were teens, but still, minors! Ugh, so wrong.
Saturday morning we went to Grove to meet up with some other families and head out on their 33' cabin cruiser. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet. We had Bubba's BBQ *yumm-o* and lots of alcohol to drink. I, of course, can't drink for another 10 months, but hey, it was still there and I watched my husband drink. We all got sunburned except for my too tanned child, I swear she was switched at birth. The water was great, the boat was superb, the company was sooooooo nice and the whole experience was wonderful! I can't wait to do it again!
Bob actually got too drunk. How drunk is too drunk? Well, it involves being at peace. When he's at peace, he's too drunk. It's hard to describe, but that is one man who should not find his happy place. LOL Honestly though, it was so good for him, he had a great time. So did Miss Whineyhiney, she made a new friend and even has plans for later this summer with the girl.
Sunday was a day of peace and quiet. Bob was hungover and sunburned so he was not doing much. We read about the horrible crash on the turnpike that killed 3 souls from Afton, so sad. We read the Best Buy ad and decided to get me a new wireless router for my laptop. We read the Academy ad and saw boots on sale, Bob needs boots, but Bob was too hung over to care so the boots are on the back burner now. LOL
I went with my mom to the new High Winds casino and we did alright. I came out better than when I went in. She lost her ass of course. While I was at the casino, the DISH man came and repaired our satellite system, now I can watch my shows without errors. Then Miss Whineyhiney had an afternoon rehersal with a friend so Bob and I headed back out the High Winds and got two free t-shirts, some freeplay and he hit the jackpot on a Penny Lane machine. Not too shabby of a day I must say. Actually my whole weekend was great.
Two more days until I start my new job. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!

Finally Friday, er um, Wednesday
I have been writing this post since last Friday and just could not seem to finish it.
This week has been so wild. Things are really good right now. I just know someone is going to drop a house on me and steal my perty red shoes or something.
I've been offered another job, a great paying salary job with benefits. Lemme say that again, benefits. Damn, that sounds good. Feels good, I'd go so far to say if I sniffed it, it'd smell good too. I wasn't even looking for a new job, I was sought after, word of mouth. I'm so honored.
I think that may have been why I chose to take it, because I wasn't looking.... Sometimes good things find you when you are least expecting them. Take opportunities when you can.
I have to admit it's so fantasic to be wanted, to hear good things about yourself, to be told that so and so said great things about you and you didn't know about it. I like that feeling. I was really feeling down on myself after the whole stalker bit (no, I didn't discuss it here and I don't intend to either, those who need to know, know).
Ok, so enough about me, onto the other things going on.
Miss Whineyhiney has been so busy with activities I can barely keep up with her schedule! The next few weeks is going to be worse too! LOL She's doing Miami Little Theater, they're doing the junior version of Godspell. I don't know what that is exactly but she's having a lot of fun, that's all I care about. She's also doing M.S.R.P. and she loves that too, she's learning a lot of new things, making new friends and having a ball! What more coud a parent ask for? And the tan on that child, I swear, I don't know where she gets it from.
Here's some highlights (or lowlights) of my week:
Retro Kim found out she has gall stones. OUCH! I had mine out in 1994 and the surgery has changed a lot since then. When I had mine out, I was supposed to stay the night, but I had no insurance so I got up and left against the doctors' wishes. When Bob had his out two years ago, they couldn't get rid of him fast enough, he was barely out of the anesthesia and the nurse was puttin' his underwear on him! Seriously! We both had the same surgeon too!
Earth Lily's daughter had heart surgery in Kansas City this week, that poor girl has been to hell and back and now this...... poor baby. She's just in 2nd grade, maybe 50 pounds, it's just not right.... Oh, get this, they went in through her mouth to get to her heart. Will wonders never cease?
Cruella is having a grand time in Idaho without me. Soooooo totally sucks. It's just so wrong to be such a jetsetter without your side kick (uh hum, that would be me.)
Mrs. Coach's beautiful blonde flower child was hospitalized this weekend. She's better now, thanks to lots of love from Mom and some good TLC from several doctors. I also think that some candy and balloons had something to do with it but I could be wrong.
Irish Divinity and I had lunch Monday and that was nice. Thanks Irish Divinity, I had a great time! I hope you did too!

What a weekend!
Oy, it's been forever since I posted!
Last week was insane! MWH was at the YES program with Mrs. Coach (a HUGE THANK YOU for inviting her and he pictures and the driving and everything else you did!) I had all sorts of running to do every different day and now that I think about it, I couldn't tell you what the hell I did but I do know I never stopped!
Monday she had a dentist appointment (no cavities, I so rock as a mom) and then she had to be out at Sky Ranch and wow that place is truly amazing!
Wednesday, we watched Tristan + Isolde and, wow, that was a good movie. Lots of romance, lots of action and it was set back in midevil days and that is just too cool.
Thursday Bob & I went out gambling and didn't win anything, I guess my Mr. Moneybags days are over. Oh well, how many times can you hit a real jackpot in one lifetime anyway? hehehe
Saturday we went to Joplin to see Cars and it was really, really good. I loved the tractor tipping scene, I nearly wet myself laughing so hard. When I saw the previews, I really wasn't sure it would be a movie I'd want to see. I kinda went in thinking it wouldn't be that good, that it was more of a guy movie. Lemme tell you I was wrong. It was funny for young and old, men and women. There were so many little funny moments, I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't go on and on and on about it.
Sunday MWH & I went to the pool and I went down the blue slide, wow, that thing is FAST! There is NO WAY I'll go down the yellow one, it's too high. I'm too scared of the height, not the speed or going down it, it's climbing up there and feeling the thing move! The blue slide stairs moved and good grief I can imagine how much the yellow slide stairs will!
Have you wall watched Windfall yet? I'm was an 80's kid, I adore Luke Perry and Jason Gedrick! WOO HOO! I'm so glad they're back on TV! The show looks pretty good, a couple scenes were unrealistic but who knows, it's not like I'll ever win $20 million so who am I to talk?
Big Love is over for the season ( so sad ) and Deadwood and Rescue Me have started. I'm in heaven for a while.
It looks like my lunch break is about over, later taters!

Princess Di, Tigerbeat, Pole Dancers and Beeeeeer!
What a weekend! Whew!
Bob's company had their annual picnic Saturday and we signed up to participate in the scavenger hunt. WTF? Um, I'm 34, scavenger hunts are for kids, scavenger hunts are for energetic people, scavenger hunts are FUN! LOL Ok, so out of 100 items, I had 94 or 96 of them! I've used every favor I could call on!
Where would I find a Tiger Beat magazine with the Osmond brothers on it? You'd ask my friend Cean, she rooooooooocks.
What about a Nixon campain button? You'd go see the Classy Bitchy Brassy woman down on main street if she were ever fucking open! Um, helloooooooo, that's a tough one to find!
After all that hard work and efford, yes, I won. I WON! WOO HOO! I say "I" but truly it was a "we" who won but dammit I did most of the work, most of the running, most of the leg work. I had the contacts, I kissed the asses and I had my eye on the prize.
Bob was in charge of the Fear Factor event and let me tell you that ROCKED. I was supposed to be just for the kids, but it was sooooooo kewl the adults got involved too! Young and old were lining up to root around face first in a bin of potting soil in search of a burried key! I won't even begin to tell you what that first key opened, talk about nasty, but the last key opened a box containing either mustard sardines or pickled pigs feet and holy cow no one threw up! One kid even asked Bob for the left overs, HE LOVED THE SARDINES! Ewwwwwwwwww. I swear, I threw up in my mouth a little twice!
The picnic was catered by Jim Neely and his motley crew and damn, I have to say it was some damn fine BBQ. The boys who served, I believe most were Jim's grandkids, were amazing, very professional and courteous. I wish we had a place like that around here!
After a great day of wiffle ball, scavenger hunting, bobbing for apples (yes, I did that too), bean bag tossing, three-legged racing, water balloon tossing and bingo, most of the folks went home but a select few stayed to play horseshoes and drink beer. Let me rephrase that, drink beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. I swear to all that is holy there was more beer drank there than day than I've seen in my adult life. What do you get when you put a few dozen men together with a crap load of beer and some horseshoes? A DAMNED GOOD TIME! There was wild pitches, blood, broken bones (hairline fracture maybe, but I think he was faking! LOL) and yes, one man was so drunk he gave us a free pole dancing show. Yes, my night was complete.
I had such a great time I can't wait to do it again!
Oh, the other great thing that happened that morning was that I stopped at a garage sale and found a Prada purse for $4.00. THAT WAS AWESOME! It's lime green, very springy, and has silver chains on it! I swear, my day went so good I just knew a house was going to land on me and someone was going to steal my shoes! I don't know if it's a real Prada or a knock off but, hell, who fucking cares? I like it either way!
Sunday Missy and I hit the pool and wow that felt good, a bit cold, but it was nice to get in the water! The new 30 foot slide is great and now that they've got the mats for it, she loves it!
Things are good.......

I'm back
About a month ago, my blog got hijacked or something. I have no idea, it was the second time it happened and I just decided to give up. I sent an email to Blogger and they found it but renamed it something I didn't like so I renamed it yet again.
So, here I am.
Some of you might ask, "but first..."? WTF? Well, so often I need to do something, want to do something but can't because so many things also need to be done. Yeah, sucks to be me sometimes. So, "but first...." was created, it just seems to fit me.
Ok, no wise cracks from the peanut gallery though about me being ass backwards or doing things butt first! LOL
So, here I am.
Some of you might ask, "but first..."? WTF? Well, so often I need to do something, want to do something but can't because so many things also need to be done. Yeah, sucks to be me sometimes. So, "but first...." was created, it just seems to fit me.

Meme of the Day
I've had this in my "drafts" since 4/25 I just never posted it, this is for you Mrs. Coach.
I AM: not pregnant. Why do all these medical people keep asking me if I'm pregnant? Um, doc, look in my fucking chart there in your hands, I don't have a uterus!
I WANT: to fast forward my life by 6 months. This summer is really going to suck for me.
I WISH: I had pretty feet. My feet are ugly and veiny and just too damned big.
I HATE: how I always need something after I just threw it away.
I MISS: me, who I used to be, who I was. Where did she go? She was so fun......
I FEAR: birds and clowns.
I HEAR: Eminem - Shake That. Yeah, baby....... raunchy but I love it.
I WONDER: what my life would be like if I'd gone into the Air Force as planned.
I REGRET: ummmmmm, having that salsa for lunch, heartburn! UGH! (ok, that was soooooo long ago, I do not remember lunch.)
I AM NOT: ready for summer, I hate summer.
I DANCE: only after I clear the building for one of those gigantic Gong Show shephard's crooks. hehehe
I SING: in the car and when I'm cooking and when Boss Lady isn't paying attention to me. I do not sing well, but dammit I try!
I CRY: when I put gas in my car or think about the Oklahoma City bombing or September 11th or our men and women dying in Iraq. Or when I run out of loratabs........ yumm, loracandy!
I AM NOT ALWAYS: nice but I am usually pretty honest. Don't ask if you don't wanna hear the truth!
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: pretty much anything that you can imagine. I make the best No Bake Cookies. Seriously, every man I know will do damned near anything for my no bakes...... Bob is soooooo not happy about that.
I WRITE: because it makes me happy and is sooooooooo much cheaper than therapy.
I CONFUSE: advice with advise; bill slips KILL ME!
I NEED: to figure out how to configure my laptop to print using my printer at home. Yes, I have a laptop, didn't I tell you all about it?
I SHOULD: exercise more. *looking all around* Where the hell did that come from?
I START: running my life soon........
I FINISH: watching all of Grey's Anatomy again today. I love my laptop, it plays DVD's too! WOO HOO!
I TAG: whoever's readin' it; you know who you are

a can of worms
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol - Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead.
Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead.
Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation - What can you learn from this demonstration?
A little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand and said, "As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"
Don't you just love little old ladies????

Thursday Thirteen
Thirteen reasons why I detest summer.
1/ I hate to sweat. I don't like to be sticky or clammy or damp. Perspiration is just evil.
2/ The sun is too damned bright. I don't like it so bright out......
3/ I can't wear sunglasses 'cause my eyebrows are lopsided. Yeah, I know no one but me realizes it, but I know and we all know it's all about me, babe.
4/ My kid is out of school. I feel like I'm constantly worried about what she's doing or is she bored or too busy.
5/ I'm working hard while my kid is loafing. UNFAIR.
6/ Skinny, tan, well-rested ladies of leisure. I call them bitches, 'nuf said.
7/ Baseball on TV. Why do these jackasses think they deserve $8 million dollars for hitting a ball and running around little white bases is beyond me...... If I spit and scratched you think anyone would give me millions of dollars? I think not.
8/ Shorts. Have you seen the tree stumps others call calves?
9/ Sandals........ I still have nail polish on my toes from my pedicure treat from last October. I hate women (and men, ha ha ha) with fancy, pretty, dainty feet.
10/ Swimsuits. Do not make me go there. Have you seen my ass?
11/ Daylight Savings Time cuts into my precious sleeping time.
12/ All my TV shows are reruns!
13/ The summer holidays, Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day mean nothing to us anymore. These American holidays are nothing more than a day to golf or fish/ski or watch movies or shoot fireworks, it's not about independence or memorials or patriotism.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It is easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

pillow talk
Bob: Oh, come on.
Me: Leave me alone!
Bob: It won't take long.
Me: I won't be able to sleep afterwards.
Bob: I can't sleep without it.
Me: Why do you think of things like this in the middle of the night?
Bob: Because I'm Hot.
Me: You get hot at the darnedest times.
Bob: If you love me I wouldn't have to beg you.
Me: If you love me you'd be more considerate.
Bob: You don't love me anymore.
Me: Yes I do, but let's forget it for tonight.
Bob: Please...come on
Me: All right, I'll do it.
Bob: What's the matter? Need a flashlight?
Me: I can't find it.
Bob: Oh, for heaven's sake, feel for it!
Me: There! Are you satisfied?
Bob: Oh, yes.
Me: Is it up far enough?
Bob: Oh, that's good.
Me: Now go to bed and from now on when you want the window open, do it yourself.
Ok, so that really wasn't us last night but darn, it's funny!

Birthday Weeeeeeeeeeek
I gotta start with a big THANK YOU to all of you who wished me such a GREAT BIRTHDAY! Thank you so much!
Cruella, just you, that's all I can ask for, you're too good to me!
O-Cean-o, your cards rocked, I loved the car one!
Ethan, please give me a warning on the next one. I soooooooo did not expect to see so much or so many! Your friend with the mole should have that thing checked, I think I saw something....... hehehe God, I love you, you know how to make an old fat woman feel goooooooood.
Zanadoooooo, thanks! You're so nice to me!
There were more cards, emails and good cheer from Bexxie, Mrs. Coach, Jean, Sheila, Irish Dinity, MamaKBear, Lora, Brady's Mom and Twinny. Thank you all so much, my day was sooo fun!
I have decided that I had such a great birthday day that I'm celebrating my birthday all week long. Yes, I'm gonna enjoy myself all week long. I think I'm gonna need more batteries. hehehe Just kidding.
Last night, Bob and I hit the casinos for some freeplay, not to be confused with foreplay, that came later. LOL I didn't win big but I won enough to keep playing all night. Bob, on the other hand, did win big. Yes, he sucks like that sometimes. He put $5 in a nickel machine and cashed out with $53. No, some of you wouldn't think that's big money, but to us small time gamblers, it's pretty damned good. My best win was at Miami Tribe Entertainment on a Royal Reels machine, I won $27.50. That rocked.
Boss Lady sent me a beautiful basket of flowers and today more came for Administrative Professional's Day. Damn, I could get used to this special treatment!
Bob helped me in the yard this weekend, we put a new concrete border around my flower bed and planted some grass seed. The rains have washed it all away but it was done, very nice too I might add. As soon as I can, I'll plant some more annuals or perenials, whatever hostas are, and get it back in shape! It'll look nice someday!

Oh, I had a annoying experience at Wal-Mart yesterday morning. I don't understand why they can't either hire enough help or hire competent workers or just simply hire nicer people. I don't get it. If you take your reciept in with you for an item to be reimbursed for, management does not need to be called. I BROUGHT MY RECEIPT. Then, when the first manager tells you to refund the woman you don't need to call HIS boss just cause I'm giving you a smug kiss-my-big-fat-ass-and-go-to-hell look. Just a little Wednesday Whine for you.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!
Yes, yes, it's my birthday. I'm 34 today. Thanks to all of you who have emailed and IM'd and called! You're all so good to me!
Bob and MWH gave me cards and a cordless mouse for my laptop and Boss Lady is taking me to lunch!
I got an email from my sis and I wanted to share. It means the world to me today.
Dearest April,
Today is a very special day, the day you came screaming into a world that would throw at you many things that you have over come. You are a very special person and to say that is really not really saying enough. Although we haven't had the closest of relationships, it can not be said enough that I think of you as a very close friend as well and a dear sister. I know that sometimes I lose track on keeping in touch but please never think you and your family are not always in my thoughts and prayers. Over the years, I have had my own problems and I think that with all the pain we have both grown as people. I hope that this year brings you everything you want and that this new baby along with Joey will always be a big part of your life as well as you a part of theirs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS.
Love & Kisses,
K
How did SHE know I was screaming????? Was I that loud?

Manic Monday
This week has been GO from the beginning!
Sunday, Bob & MWH went ATVing and let me sleep in. I didn't even get dressed until afternoon. LOL I love lazy Sundays where I get to do things at my own pace...... ah, peace. I did next to nothing Sunday, mostly I watched the entire first season of Grey's Anatomy. I love watching TV shows on DVD. No commercials....... Can't beat it! After I did finally get dressed, my mom came over and we hit the casino again, we didn't win but we did have fun!
This morning I had to go to the doctor again, more bloodwork....... Plus, this cough is just too persistent. Doc gave me a Z pack and I'm good to go. Just one pill and I am clearing my throat a lot less already! One of these days I'm gonna learn to hock up a good one, I'll spit right in someone's eye too! Hmmmmm, dare to dream........
I've been watching Big Love on HBO lately and I really like that show. I've never thought much about polygamy but HBO sure knows how to make it interesting. I could never share my husband with anyone and I'm not Mormon so it'll never happen to me, but I think it takes a rare breed of women to be strong enough to do it. I know it's illegal but I'm sure it still goes on even in this century.
Tonight we're going for some of my birthday freeeeeeeeeeeplay. I've decided to celebrate my birthday the entire week, not just Tuesday. Who knows, this could be my last one! I should enjoy it while I can! WOO HOO!
Well, Bob is out of the shower and we're going out for dinner!

Potpourri
Today is Wednesday and so much is going on.
April 19, 1995. It's been 11 years since that horriffic day when the heart of our great nation was stopped dead in mid beat. Americans killed Americans. We lost 168 wonderful Americans. We should all stop today and take a moment of silence; 168 moments of silence.
To read a recap this tragedy and for a complete list of the 168 lives lost, go here.
*
silence
*
I'm still battling this flu / sinus / allergy thing I've had going since Saturday night. I'm past the sore throat and the pelvic pain is nearly over but now I'm onto the chest pain and the severe congestion. Ugh, it never ends I guess. I've got the "Charlie Brown" thing in my ears. That kind of screeching "wha wha wha" noise when you talk or when others talk. It's terribly annoying. I hate to go back on Singulair but I have no choice.
On a lighter note, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes-Cruise have now welcomed their daughter into the world. Welcome baby Suri! I haven't seen/heard a middle name yet and no word on the last name. Will she be Suri Cruise or Suri Holmes-Cruise or hell, Suri Mapother? HAHAHA! Whatever her name is, she weighed in at 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. I hope you can handle the heat, cause baby, it's gonna be hot in your house! LOL In an odd twist of fate, baby Suri was born at the same hospital and on the same floor as Brooke Shield's baby girl, Grier Hammond Henchy, which is freaking hilarious after the Tom Cruise / Matt Lauer antidepressant debacle on NBC's Today show a while back.
Yesterday I watched Brokeback Mountain. I've heard both good and bad reviews about this "gay cowboy" movie. I've heard all the "John Wayne would have turned over in his grave...... " comments and seen the cartoon jokes. Personally, I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was slow, but I don't think it would have been good had it been faster paced. Ennis was such a sad man and Jack was so needy. I think it was a great romance story. A gay Romeo and Romeo. LOL I can understand the Ennis's fear about the brutal murder he witnessed as a child of the gay man who bled to death. Fear is an odd thing. It can hold you back so much....... I knew there was something up with the shirt though, that wasn't a surprise. I did think that Jack's wife was horrible the way she told Ennis about Jack's death. So sad. I thought highly of her when she smiled when Jack told off her dad but when she was so cold to Ennis on the phone it just threw me....... I've been to Riverton, WY and seen the Teton Mountains. That is truly America the Beautiful. I'm not sure if I specifically saw Brokeback Mountain or not but I have seen that area of our great country and it is very breathtaking. My favorite line out of the whole movie though was when Ennis said something about not being a traveler, that the most he'd travelled was around the coffee pot lookin' for the handle. That was perfect. So Ennis.
On to another topic: FREE WILL
Free will is the belief or the philosophical doctrine that holds that humans have the power to choose their own deeds.
Just 'cause your friends do it doesn't mean YOU have to too. Get a life. GROW UP! Pull your head outta your ass and make your own damned choices in life! Sheesh! (this is a shout out to a particular online friend who's really having a tough time right now)

Manic Monday
It's Monday morning and I'm gonna do a quick recap of my weekend.
Friday afternoon my mom and I went gambling again, neither of us won, but damn we had fun. She's such a hoot to gamble with, she's so addicted. I rarely play anything more than a quarter machine, but when she's with me I'll play a dollar machine just to see her expression. It's hilarious.
Saturday I took Miss Whineyhiney and one of her friends to the Jenks Aquarium to meet some more of our friends for our last friends outing of the year. I was pretty impressed with the shark tank, very cool. I could have sat there and watched them all day had I not been responsible for keeping track of them all. LOL
After the Aquarium, we headed to the Woodland Hills for lunch and a mall crawl. The girls really liked eating in the mall, so many choices, I think everyone had something different. LOL Then we hit Build-A-Bear (again) and bought more clothes for our critters. Miss Whineyhiney is up to 5 animals now and I'm telling you she could clothe a small third world country if she had to.
When we got home though I was beat. Driving in all that traffic kills my neck. I really need to get into PT for that again.
Saturday night we went to Wal-Mart and bought groceries. BAD MOVE. Every idiot and their twin was there. We normally shop on Sunday mornings when everyone is in church, but for some Godforsaken reason we had to go Saturday night.....
When we got home though, my throat started hurting and I was really not feeling well, all achey and sore. Sunday morning I woke up and realized I was sick. Very sick. My entire body hurt. My head was pounding, my hips ached, my throat was dry, everything was sore....... I slept all day Sunday and Sunday night. I'm feeling a little better today. My throat is better but my hips still ache.
Sorry nothing fun or exciting to report, just the same old, same old........

Girl Next Door
Small town homecoming queen
Shes the star in this scene
Theres no way to deny shes lovley
Perfect skin perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside shes ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her
She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sittin in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleepin on the floor
Shes Miss America and I'm just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutaunt
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too demanding
Maybe I'll admit it
I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her
She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sittin in the stands
She gets the top bunk I'm sleepin on the floor
Shes Miss America and I'm just the girl next door
Oh an I'm just the girl next door
I don't know why I'm feelin sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishin that I was someone else
She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sittin in the stands
I get A little bit she gets a little more

she's Miss AmericaI'm just the girl next door...
