Some People Just Don't Cut It

2007-06-28T08:03:00.000-07:00

I hired this "what I thought to be" a great employee. She was so bubbly in her two interviews. She said she was very outgoing, and said she didn't get offended easily. After 4 days of training she was further behind than most people are after 1 day. I had suspicion she may not cut it. So on the 4th day we were doing role playing and have her pratice as if she was speaking to the customer. She broke down and started crying. Then she asked if she could go home. I asked why. She said she couldn't train at work, but could take her notes home to learn her information. I explained to her that she needed to train from the office so we could help her. She said she couldn't concentrate with the phone ringing. I had explained to her multiple times in the interview that the phone would be ringing off the hook and she need to be able to multi task and work in a chaotic enviroment. She agree this was on problem. Anyway, I ended up telling her to stay here. She preceeded to ask two more times if she could leave. So, on the third time I took her into a closed door. I told her if she wanted to leave so bad go ahead and pack up her stuff and go home. Just don't come back. I explained numerous times to her this wasn't the job for her. She keep coming up with excuses. I swear excuses are just like assholes. Everyone has one. Anyway after I pretty much fired her, here is the email I received the next day.

Me,

On my long drive home I had a lot of time to think about our conversation. I spent the time reflecting on what I really want out of a job, and what is going to truly make me happy. I really thought that was what Milestone was going to bring to me. I was determined to make this job work, even though it was for less money than what I was asking for. I don't feel that I was even given a fair opportunity to train for this position, but according to you I should have had it down.

Your words rang in my head on the way home. No matter what I had to say, you repeatedly told me I was NOT going to be happy. If that is how I was coming across, you were very wrong. I told my family every day that I loved that job from the beginning. It was new, and different, and I thought that I had opportunity to really learn alot. Those thoughts came to a screeching halt today. Yes I cried, but surely I am not the first person that you have ever met that wears their heart on their sleeve. I was crushed by the belittling way that Brittany was speaking to me. I was not fed constructive criticism, instead I was fed rude and demeaning words and behavior.

I am not going to fake being perky, that is not who I am. I am a stong willed, sweet, passionate, and thoughtful person. I am not fake. I have never been, nor will I ever be. You have seen the true me through this entire time that I have known you. I do not smile all the time. I think too much. I am not perfect. I am smart, and can be funny. I am a little ditzy at times. I am not skinny, nor pretty. I am not as laid-back as most. I am a serious, young lady that is trying to better her life everyday. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, and I have paid the consequences of every one of them.

I don't hide much, but I did hide a few things. It is time to be honest, since that is what this whole letter is about. I have been in a relationship with Magan for a few years. I did not let that be known, because I didn't know how open minded everyone would be. SO.. I wear a leave-me-alone ring to make sure that I am left alone. I am happy. The reason I shed many of the tears I shed today was not because of stress, but instead because it had hit me what today's date is. You see, I was once engaged to a pretty good guy. He broke my heart, and a week later I found out I was pregnant. Today is the day that I lost the baby... 3 years ago. I was 5 months pregnant. I tripped going down the stairs outside of my apartment. I moved away to get away from everyone that I knew. I went through depression so severe that I ended up in the hospital. I have healed, but it is still an emotional situation.

I didn't mean for this letter to turn so personal. I just felt that I needed to let you know the truth.

I have decided to find myself a new job. I don't feel that Milestone is going to work out. That was made very clear to me today. Please mail my check to my current address listed below. I cleaned out my desk before I left. All that is still in there is 2 cans of diet coke. And my timesheet that is in the top drawer. I may or may not come up there tomorrow.

Trish's bachelorett Party

2007-06-09T12:15:00.000-07:00

My ol' buddy came to Dallas to visit from Colorado. We had a little bachelorette party for her. We met up at Sushi Rock for dinner. It was wonderful. Then we all went to Ad-Libs. They got Trish on stage for some entertainment. Check out the clip.

Wildflower Festival

2007-05-19T20:17:00.000-07:00

Saturday, my nieces, my secretary and I went to the Wildflower Festival. It is an art and music thing. We had a blast acting like wild women. LOL! Here are some pics.

This is a kewl dancer.

Here is Macee's Spary on tat!

Here is my spray on tat!

Here is Jacee's spray on tat!

Here is Brittany getting her spray on tat!

Here is Britany trying to be a kewl biker chic!

These are the freaks we seen before we got there and asked them if we could take a pic. I call the dude in his under-roos. They were making a video. Some sort of 24 hour contest thing coming up. They interviewed us, so we could be on it. Woo hoo!

Friday Night

2007-05-18T20:12:00.000-07:00

Friday Funnies - Especially for the Women

2007-04-27T08:50:00.000-07:00

Yes, I'm an idiot!

2007-04-25T17:32:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't been around in forever and a day. I have been a total idiot. Every since blogger switched over to the google account, I couldn't remember my stupid new login. Yes, I'm an idiot. I finally figured out tonight to delete my account and start over with a new blogger account. Yeah, it worked. So, I'm back in action.

Max is still working in Austin. So I got there about once a month or so. I really enjoy it there. He bought a new truck in December. The second weekend he had it there it got keyed. So he let me keep me until recently. I drove it and he made the payments. Hell of a deal! He started missing it. After I got my truck back I realized I was spoiled. So I went and bought a new vehicle last week. Woo-hoo! I love it, until the payments come in.

Jr and Sissy are the best of friends. Sissy got fixed yesterday so she is a little sleepy today. Jr didn't know what to do while she was gone overnight. They are both soooo cute. They think Max's hotel room in Austin is a second home.

Still no babies. A friend recommended me to a great website and I'm going to try to some natural fertility junk. I think it would work better if Max and I were at the same place at the same time during ovulation. LOL!

Anyway, going to momma Claire's Friday night for a Pampered Chef party. I can't wait to see her. Also, I have Ames wedding around the corner. Can't wait to see her either. I know she will be a beautiful bride.

Well, that is about all I have for tonight. What all is going on in your lives? I miss you all!

My Niece Macee and I

2007-02-11T17:55:00.000-08:00

Hello! How has everyone been? I miss you all so much. The move into the new home was great. I love being a homeowner again. Max has been working in Austin, so I feel like I'm living a single life again, just not as active as I use to be. We have been communting alot back and forth on the weekend. I'm worn out. I hired a new person to work for me in Aug/Sept. Their husband is now being transferred. So, I hired a replacement last week. After 2 days of training his background check came back and it wasn't very impressive. So I'm interviewing again. Working lots of hours during this process. What all is going on in your life?

New Addition to Our Family

2006-12-14T17:22:00.000-08:00

No, I'm not pregnant. We do have a new family member. Her name is Sissy.

Peep Meet

2006-11-19T21:29:00.000-08:00

Finally, a peep meet. Momma and I got to meet up again. It was a good reason too. We went to go meet up with Weltek. She was in town for a conference. Momma came by and picked me up and off to Kim's hotel we went. We met up with her. She spotted us quickly. We then went for a walk down town Dallas. The lights were wonderful. We went to the West End. We started out dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. Had to make sure Kim got crabs. Then went over to Gators for some drinks. We had a lot of fun, but as most things it came to an end. Some of the highlights would have included momma getting shit on by a bird walking under a tree. She will not live this down. Anyway, look forward to many new peep meets in the near future.

What's Up Here?

2006-10-08T19:04:00.000-07:00

My youngest niece Macee's b-day was in August. I bought her tickets to see the Cheetah Girls and Hannah Montanta. Here is her and her best friend Sierra before walking into their first concert.

Here is Hannah Montana a.k.a. Miley Cyrus. Yes, you guessed it Billy Ray "Achey Breaky Heart" Cyrus. LOL! She is so cute. Really minds me of a younger Hillary Duff with the blonde wig and all. I actually liked her alot.

Here are the girls during the concert rocking out.

Here are the Cheetah Girls. I was quite impressed with them as well.

Here are the girls all wound up on the way to go home.

I dropped off Sierra, then Macee. When I got to Macee's I got to see her older sister Jacee's new belly piercing. They are really growing up on me.

Finally, made it home and night, night time it was for me.

Hello

I'm Back or Maybe Just Stopping By

2006-09-20T12:43:00.000-07:00

Hello, all! I really miss you all. I have been so slam with a new job, training new people, a new house, the move and everything else in the world. Sorry I haven't been around the blogs and haven't posted lately. I'm going to try to start checking in more. My new hires are starting to get a little more trained, but still have to be babysitted. I love the new home. We have already added a new storm door, rear storm door, new shutters, window stools and now covering the patio. Fells like a remodel. I have also purchased some new ceiling fans and moving around some fixtures. Lots of work. I'll take pics for you soon and post them. I have some neighbors on one side of me that are wonderful. A real nice female couple. They are a blast. Love them to death. Our dogs are best friends too. We have a couple from Kansas that he is getting released from the Army in November and him and his wife are moving on the other side of us then. He got a job as a cop in the little local town. They have the cutest adopted boy. I can tell I'll enjoy him alot. Anyway, that is about all going on in my life. What all are you up to these days?

Update

2006-08-22T07:18:00.000-07:00

How is everyone doing? I want to hear all. We are doing the walk-thru on our home Thursday. Yeah! We are supose to close on Aug. 30th, but I don't see it happening at this time. They still have lots to do. If everything did go right we would be moving Labor Day weekend. That would be a good thing, cuz 3 days off work would really help. I'm so busy at work. We are looking for another part-time person in the afternoons. So hard to find good help. Anyway, just wanted to know what everyone is up to. Miss you all!

I'm a little more challenged and don't have to spend my days blogging all though I miss you all so much. Thanks for all of your kind words. I couldn't have a better group to blog with than all of you.

Hiatus Due to Drama

2006-06-18T19:44:00.000-07:00

Hello, everyone! Thanks for the kind comments while I was away. I really missed you all. We left town on Thursday morning for our 8 hr drive to Branson, MO. We had a great time. Our plan was to return on Sunday, but decided to cut our trip a little short and came back on Saturday to rest up prior to starting the new job. Good thing we did. We weren't home 10 min on Saturday night when Max's aunt called. She wanted us to meet her at his grandparents. We got there and an ambulance was taking his granpa away. He had no pulse and no heartbeat. We followed them to the hospital. A little after midnight they called us into a family room. He had passed. So we were glad at least we could be there for his family. We got up early on Sunday and went to his dad's for Father's Day to take him to lunch. Then went straight to his grandma's until the evening late. We are totally worn out. They will make arrangements Monday. Yes, I start my new job on Monday too. The visitation will prolly be on Tuesday night and the funeral on Wednesday, but we don't know yet. To top off the drama, I got a call this evening from a very dear old friend. She had a daughter when she was younger in our teens. Well, her daughter is 15 and been missing since Thursday night. She found out her daughter had been doing drugs and hanging with older kids. We were shocked. So the police have been looking everywhere. I'm about to go hit the streets with her tonight, so I'll prolly be exhausted come Monday for my new job. I'll catch up on everyone's blogs as soon as I can. Lots of drama going on. I have missed you all!

Out of Town

2006-06-14T19:42:00.000-07:00

Sorry if I have been MIA and not around on the blogs. Tuesday was my last crazy day at work. I ran errands all day on Wednesday and heading out of town Thurs - Sun. I'll post lots of pics when I return. I'll be in training at the new job next week so might not be around a whole lot. Hope everyone has a great weekend and thank you for all your kind words on the last post. I'll miss you all over the next few days.

P.S. Yes, I watched the Hills. I can't wait till next week with Jason.

Father's Day is Around The Corner

2006-06-13T06:30:00.000-07:00

Father's Day is Around The Corner

Do you have any special plans? This is a paticuliar hard day for me since my dad has passed. If you want more details go to this post. Since we will be going out of town on Thursday, I thought I'd do a quick Father's Day post today to see what everyone had planned. So, here is the history of Father's Day:

Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact when a "Father's Day" was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards.

Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.

The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.

A Reflection of Time

2006-06-09T12:57:00.000-07:00

Do you ever think back in time to where you once was or the kind of person you once was? I do. I always think about how every action has a reaction. If we were to make one different turn in life we would be somewhere different today. Kind of like "My Name Is Earl," talks about karma. I know I don't normally quote him of all people. Sometimes I have regrets, but then I realize that if I had of done something differently I would not be where I am today. I am a happy person. I'm not financially rich, but I am rich with love. I am healthy. I have a great family and wonderful friends. I have shelter. I have food on the table. What more could a person ask for. I just always hope I was never one of those "Mean Girls" growing up. I have often wondered. If anyone is reading this that possibly knew me while growing up, please let me know if I was ever mean to you. If I was, I am sincerely sorry.

Now, here will be the real suprising part. I have a "My Space" account. Nothing fancy. I had 2 or 3 real life friends start using is and I thought it was stupid. Well, I finally decided to get one just to comment back and forth to them. I enjoy the communication there, but miss the post that are in blog land. My Space has a section where you can browse other and you can do it by schools. This means it is so easy to find old class mates.

I grew up in a small town till after my freshman year of high school. I kind of consider it my hometown, because I lived there so long. After that I moved to the next town over. So I have got to reconnect with people from both schools. I got contacted by a guy I went to school with at the smaller town. I have copied part of his message to me:

"I always had a crush on you at that time, but was to shy to say anything. I also remember my freshman year I won some kind of fundraiser contest the band did and got $50.00. I remember DELETED NAME FOR OBVIOUS REASONS complaining about everyone on cheer leading having mums but her family would not buy here one. I thought it would be sweet and bought her one with the money I won and asked her to the homecoming dance. She did not like me and did not want to go. I told her she could take my name off the mum and just wear it with her cheer outfit to feel special. She left it, I believe her mom made her but I am not sure. I remember everyone cool laughing at me, but you. You said it was thoughtful and sweet."

Okay, now don't laugh at me, but I do not remember this at all. It still just made my day to know I had my own opinion in school and didn't let the other kids push their opinions over on me and I would still nice to him. He was a really sweet guy. I never knew about the crush either. Just reading this today and thinking back how many kids can be to other kids made me want to cry for him. I mean I'm sure he is over today, but to remember something like this tells me it must of really upset him that the girl didn't go to the dance with him and etc.

I know I have done more of my share of mean things in my life. I'm glad I at least made a nice comment to this sweet guy when he was down. Evidentally, something this small can really leave a lasting impression for some people. Anyway, just wanted to remind everyone that even with reflections on time of what we did back then isn't always what we would do not. We are older now and hopefully more mature. Sometimes doing something little can a long way for some people. Just keep this in mind and try to be nice to all.

I love you, my fellow bloggers! Have a great weekend!

Does Cold Water Kill Germs?

2006-06-08T19:23:00.000-07:00

This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean.

Frank went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Georgia.

After spending a great evening chatting the night away, Frank's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, Frank noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, "Are these plates clean?"

His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!"

For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, Frank was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"

Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don'twant to hear another word about it!"

Later that afternoon, Frank was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. Frank yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car".

Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted...

"COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN!!!!"

Wednesday Hung Over

2006-06-07T06:44:00.000-07:00

Usually I call today, Wednesday Hump Day. Today I'm calling it Wednesday Hung Over Day. Not to bad Hung Over, Just a little. We went out last night to happy hour with Max's dad. His friend is a DJ at this little hole in the wall. I didn't dress up thinking we were going to one place, but ended up at another. It ended up being a place that on a Tuesday night I didn't have to dress up, but on the weekends I would have. We got in with free cover when we said, "I'm with the DJ." Had to throw that in due to that old song. LOL! There started the beers on the house. Uusually one to two coming our way at a time. About 8:00 the band started. They were pretty good country band. The main singer was the son of Mason Dixon. Does anyone remember them? Anyway, we listened to a bunch of old B.S. stories between the older people around. We finally left about 9:00 pm and was starving. I suggested a good greasy burger to soak up the alcohol. Max's dad was driving so he hadn't really drank like Max and I. We went to down the road to Fat Daddy's. This is a cool place. They have a sign that reads, "Best Beer Around - FREE" and they mean it. It is just our favorite flavor. Free and cold. LOL! No joke. They give (2) big draft Bud Lite free per person. Since Max's dad wasn't drinking that gave us 3 prior to meal. Yummy! We got home close to 10:00. My alarm went off this morning and I pushed snooze. Well, I thought I did. I actually turned it off. I woke back up and clock read 7:12 a.m. and I had to be at work by 8:00. I have STD (Short Timers Disease - Get your mind out of the gutter) so I wasn't real concerned. Anyway, you talking about someone really looking like death warmed over today that would be me. To top it off, as I was feeding the dog before I left I noticed the answering maching blinking. I push the button. My landlord left a message he would be coming by today while we were at work and just wanted to give us a heads up. He usually gives us a bigger notice so this pissed me off, but I can't bitch. He is letting me out of my lease without a charge when we move into our new home and still returning our deposit. Woo-wee! Anyway, he is coming by for his quarterly maintenance. He will service the HVAC and etc. So my house is a mess. At least the dog will get some company, right? Well, I'm slammed for the morning, but will by playing this afternoon or so. Have a great day!

Tuesday Rambles

2006-06-06T06:19:00.000-07:00

Well, my last day at work is still a week from today.
We have no replacement yet. Not my problem and
I refuse to feel guilty when I gave them such a long
notice. I said this was going to happen, remember?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My ovary hurts today. It really hurts everytime I step.
I was ovulating a few days ago. I hate when this does
this. Any idea why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would like to say that I'm so happy to PPP is back
blogging with us. I have really missed her. Now I
have her and EE to discuss The Hills with, unless we
also suck Kim into it. LOL! Kim is a closet Laguna fan,
but I don't know about the Hills yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did anyone watch the season finale of Apprentice
last night? What did you think? I thought Shawn
was better than the young one, but still not my
first choice. What do you think will develope
in the future between Shawn and Tammy?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope everyone has a great day!

Monday - YUCK!

2006-06-05T00:50:00.000-07:00

I may be a little hiatus this week. I'll try to post and get by to your blogs off an on this week in the evening. I'm training my replacement at work. For some reason, I don't think I should start out training with blogging 101. I think I should start out with the more simple things first and then move on to the priorities. LOL! Anyway, we had a wonderful weekend. I got up early on Saturdan and the dog JR and I went for a walk. This squirrel was up in the tree by my drive way and I couldn't resist taking a couple of pics to share with you all. I thought he was so cute. After our walk, I got cleaned up and went to breakfast about 8 am with an older gentleman Max and I use to work with. After that I came home and cleaned house while Max worked some more O.T. Then mom and I went to the Farmers Market downtown Dallas. I got a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. I came home and made some wonderful homemade salsa. Let me know if you want the recipe. I got it off NBC5i. It is the recipe from Blue Goose Mexican restaurant. It is so yummy!

Once, Max got home we went to the lake. Got there and went out for a spin in the boat till after dark. Then we all cooked out. It was so

yummy! I took some of my salsa too and it was a hit. We stayed at the lake all day on

Sunday. We got alot of R&R. Anyway, hope everyone had a great weekend. I can't wait to hear all about it. I'll be around on the blogs when I can. Please tell me all about your weekend. Have a great day!

EDIT: My trainee just quit at 9:30 am. No crap. She only made it through our weekly meeting and me showing her around. She decided this wasn't the job for her. To many office dutities and not enough accounting and it was to small of a company. We had bets that she wouldn't last. She seemed pretty unstable.

Friday Facts & No So Fact W/ A Litte Fun

2006-06-02T06:27:00.000-07:00

I heard this morning on the celebrity gossip on the news that Anna Nicole Smith announced she is pregnant. Why would she want to gain weight again after she just lost it all? You see this is why I'm not going on a diet. I would hate to lose a bunch of weight then finally get pregnant. That would be luck. At least it is a good enough excuse for me so I don't have to watch what I eat and exercise. LOL!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I would like to offer donuts to everyone. I heard this morning that it was National Donut Day. In 1938, civilians would take donuts to the world war II fighters to say thank you, so on June 2, 1938 they returned the favor to the civilians. This is if I understood correctly while getting ready for work and listening to the news. I'm sure I'll get corrected on this numerous times today. LOL! That is okay, cuz I already know I don't have the story correct.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My mom made some good homemade ice cream last night. On the way to go eat some, we stopped by our new home. Construction has started. They has started forming up for the slab. Here are a couple of pics:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally for some fun. This something that will either make you laugh with it or offend you one. Sorry. I don't mean to offend anyone. Have fun with these:

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.

WOMEN'S REVENGE
"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV remote?"I asked. "No," she replied, " but my husband refused to come shoppingwith me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and STILL be afraid ofa spider.

MARRIAGE SEMINAR
While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, "It is essentialthat husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes." He addressed the man, "Can you name your wife's favorite flower?" Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn'tit?

CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? He answers, " You see, it'slike this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooooooooooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I haveto roll my own .......... so does she. (I figure this guy is the one onthe milk carton! )

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying aword. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of themwanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the wife replied,"in-laws."

W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has tobe because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. "The wife responded, "Allow meto explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says..........

"HEBREWS" The Silent Treatment A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The nextmorning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn'twakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "Itis 5:00 AM. Wake up." Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

New Furniture

2006-05-31T11:01:00.000-07:00

We bought a new living room suite for our new house. I took some pics on she showroom floor of the store. I hope it isn't to cheesy. We now have a black entertainment center with silver pedestals and the cabinet doors are a silver decora. So this is what we went with, but this isn't at my house (and no I didn't buy these rugs). Anyway, ours set isn't at the warehouse yet. This is just a display.

This is the coffee table.

This is a huge (3x3 or 4x4) picture we
purchased to hang over the couch. The
frame looks like pipe cut in half and the
middle looks like (4) ceramic tiles painted
abstract. Sorry for the glare.

Display of sofa with coffee table and picture.

This is one of the two end tables.

This is the love seat.

This is the recliner/rocker.

We went with black leather. Hope it isn't
to cheesy. Anything will go with it and we
really like leather. It seems to hold up the
best for us. We got the sofa, love sit, picture,
coffee table, (2) end tables and the recliner.

First of all, I would like to remind everyone that cares that The Hillz (spin off from Laguna Beach) is tonight. Woo-Hoo! Can't wait!

Last night Rescue Me came back on FX. I really like that show. I use to not be a big fan of Dennis Leary's, but he has changed my mind after this show came out.

I seen the commercial that Nip Tuck starts back in September.

The arts festival is going on in Downtown Dallas this weekend. Free admissions to museums, free concerts, and best of all - all kinds of food and drinks. Yummy!

My replacement at work starts on Monday. Can't wait to get training over with. So next week don't expect to see to much of me. I sure will miss all, but will get online at night to check on everyone. I'll have my "stupid" new hire list next week to post each day, I'm sure. LOL!

I seen a couple of funny pics, I couldn't refuse:

This sign above is something I so need. I
think that everyone that walks their dog,
lets their dog poop on my yard. Maybe they
are marking their territory after smelling
my dog. I don't know. Oh well, I guess it
is good fertilizer, right?

Above just speaks for itself. Romance or what?

Have a Great Day and a wonderful Hump Day!

Well, I thought for Friday before a holiday weekend we should have some fun. Do you like bowling? So for extra fun have you ever hairball bowled? No, I'm not into cruelty to animals. I'm actually a big animal lover, but couldn't pass share the fun with each of you. Hope you enjoy and hope you have a great 3 day weekend (the ones of you who get 3 days and the others just a great weekend)! Here are the rules:

You just wait for the cat's head to get in a position and you "click", hoping for a strike . the score will accumulate ... you'll have to click the "continue" when it asks. The cat's head moves very fast. It IS addictive). ha !!!!!! you click continue after each frame

Thirteen Things about Crap Going on in my Head

1. My allergies are killing me. It is all in my chest. I'm going to the doctor today to get some meds before it gets worse.

2. I only have today and Friday left with my boss. After that he is on vacation for 3 weeks and I'll start my new job on June 19th. Yeah!

3. We hired someone to replace me yesterday. She will start June 5th. Double Yeah!

4. We are going to Branson, MO June 15-17. Any tips?

5. We went by our lot where our house is being built this past weekend. They have a load of sand to lay out to start the slab.

6. Max doesn't know yet, but may have to work all weekend. This screws up our weekend at the lake.

7. I'm hoping he doesn't work so we can go relax.

8. I have been slammed this week at work with my boss getting ready for vacation.

9. Has anyone noticed there hasn't been as many people blogging this week or is it just me?

10. I will be taking the dog to get groomed on Saturday morning and I'll post a pic of how cute he will look afterwards. Actually he won't look cute. We are shaving him, but he will feel better with this heat we are having.

11. School is coming to an end so I'm guessing traffic should start getting better during the break.

12. So what did you think about the American Idol winner?

13. I hope you have a great day and really appreciate you stopping by!

We have an interview at 9:00 am Central today at work. Hope they hire her and she starts right away. Then I can start my new job quicker.

Who do you think will win AI tonight?

We are going to Branson, MO June 15-17. Anyone live in the area or have visited? Any must see we need to do while we are there?

My allergies are killing me. I'm about to lose my voice. Good reason not to talk today. LOL!

Well, it is hump day. We are almost over the hump of the work week. So, happy hump day!

Does it seem like there hasn't been alot of bloggers around this week or is it just me?

Hope everyone has a great day! If I'm MIA this afternoon it is because they hired her and she started imediatley. I doubt it, but I have to have wishful thinking.

Monday Fun

2006-05-22T07:30:00.000-07:00

Here is a fun game to get your Monday going. Click here:

Caitliin's B-day-Medeval Times

2006-05-20T22:01:00.000-07:00

Well, my cousin Caitlin turned 14 today. Her mom bought the family tickets for a dinner and show at Medeval Times. Caitlin is in the pink shirt below:

We had to act like we were back in Medeval Times while we were there. You had to eat with your hands. No utensils whatsoever. This picture should give you a good idea:

The horses were amazing. They were so beautiful.

The knight (RED AND GOLD) we got to cheer for was so hot. He didn't win though.

Here is my mom and I. Yes, we favor alot. She is really dark though. I'm jealous I don't have time to fake bake as much as she does. Can I can't decide if I like my new hair cut or not.

Anyway, overall I had a great weekend. Hope evreyone else did too. My friend Leslie is turning 31 on Tuesday and a bunch of people went out to kick it country style at Red River. I hated to miss it, but my aunt had already purchased tickets for Medeval Times. Anyway, I have a hell week. This is the last week to put up with my boss. After this week he is on vacation for 3 1/2 weeks. When he returns I'll be at my new job. Yeah! He will be beside himself this week. We have to hire someone and I have to prepare to do year end the following week. So if I'm not around much this week you know why. I'll be back in full stroke the following week, unless I'm training. Then I'll be around at night. Have a good one!

Hair Cut

2006-05-20T20:34:00.000-07:00

I chopped my hair off on Saturday. Yes, I did. I got a wild hair and did it. I even have bangs now. Am I crazy or what? It was unhealthy and had old blonde coloring on the bottom of the back that really needed to be cut off. Max absolutely hates it. He is so mean. He said he can't even hardly look at me. How mean is that? It feels much better. My mom and aunt see it and liked it much better. Well I ended up cutting 9 inches off the back. Yes, 9. Here is a pic I found around Christmas (so it has grown quite a bit since then) so you can get an idea of the before pic:

I know the pic doesn't even show the full length. It was really long. Well, here is the new do. Tell me you hate it. It won't hurt my feelings. I can let it grow back healthy now. I'm thinking I need some blonde highlights. What do you think? Although that is kind of high maintenance to keep doing and I'm turning into a low maintenance kind of gal and damaging to the hair which I just got cut off. Well, here comes the after pic:

American Idol & Local Radio Channel

2006-05-19T06:26:00.000-07:00

We have a great radio station here KISS FM 106.1. This stations is syndicated so some of you may get it in other states. Kidd Kraddick in the morning is a great talk show with some pop music too. Well they are doing a contest at an IHOP outside of Dallas. The winner wins a trip next week for both nights of American Idol and gets to stay at some nice hotel. I haven't got to listen real well. On Tuesday (I think it was Tuesday, maybe Wednesday - I'm sure if someone knows about it they will correct me in the comments) they announced this contest and told people where to meet up. Your only allowed one person per vehicle. You have to stay at the IHOP parking lot, in your car and listen to William Hung (However you spell that crazy guy that tried out for AI a few years ago and got a CD out of it). Here is the kicker, you are only give to potty breaks a day. One at 8 am and one at 8 pm. This is a 5 minute break for everyone. They do bring you food to the car and stuff. Anyway, I had forgot I heard this on the radio on Tuesday. Well when I got up on Wednesday FOX 4 news was showing it on the tv. Yesterday I listened on the radio about it on the way to work. People were calling in with ideas to get people to quit. One person said to run water down their windshield to make them have to go pee, someone said to order them antchovie (however you spell this too) pizzas and let them eat 1/2 and the other half has to sit in their car all day to stink up. (It has been in the 90's here). Well this morning I came into work listening again. They are down to 6 people. They were about to start some contest to narrow it down to 4, then to 2. They have to pick a winner today to get their names on the airline tickets. Come to find out yesterday they had a contest to sing. The winner of it was allowed to get of the car and go into IHOP for a real sit down meal outside of the car. Well he was the only guy left this morning and the rest were women. He now has a stomach flu and said it was coming out both ends and he reamins in the contest. Why you may ask? Because him and his wife are having problems and she is a major fan. He thought if he won this for her it would be good for them to get away and she loves AI. Is this a true fight to get his wife back or what? I mean doing this with the stomach flu and all. Okay, now let me tell you about the contestant I have a problem with. She is a 19 year old pregnant girl. I feel sorry for her. Her dad died last October, she found out she was pregnant (unplanned and out of wedlock) in Novemember, her grandpa died in December and then her boyfriend dumper her in March. She is 7 months preganat. She wants to win to take her mom for being there so much for her during all of this. I understand that. She also told us she had been in the hospital for 10 days for kidney infections since she had been pregnant. Here is my question, if you have a history of kidney infections with the pregnancy how health is it for her to do a contest that only allows her to pee twice a day for 3 days? Isn't this putting herselp and possibly the baby at risk? I have never been pregnant, but is this stupid or just me? Anyway, I guess we will find out who wins today. I just wanted to vent about this and hear your thoughts. This is all I got, how do you like that?

Have a great weekend!

Misc Ramblings

2006-05-17T06:00:00.000-07:00

We are going Saturday night to Medieval Times in Dallas for my cousin Caitlin's b-day. I think it will be a blast. We have front or second row seating and get a complimentary souvenir and dinner with our show tickets. My aunt paid for everyones for my cousin's b-day. How cool is that. I think it will be fun. I will take alot of picture. I went there once on a blind date. It was a horrible experience due to the guy. I had to get up and sneak out and have a friend pick me up from the date. Crazy, hun? That is a story for a different day.

I feel so much better to have turned in my notice. (see the last few post for more information) We have got a ton of emails and not one person with the software experience. Do people not pay attention to detail, but expect to still get the job?

I have one all time favorite song. Last night I went to bed and turned on the TV. The movie Notting Hill will Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts was on and they played my favorite song. I never realized it was in that movie. This was a different singer singing the song that I'm use to. I have heard many versions. My favorite version is a duet by country singers Keith Whitley and Allison Krause. The song is You Say It Best When You Say Nothing At All. If you have ever loved someone or still do this will really touch your heart even if your not a country singer. Here are the lyrics:

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Resignation Letter

2006-05-16T03:00:00.000-07:00

Dear Asswipe,

This witch has flew the coop.

See ya!

So do you think the above letter will work for my resignation? LOL! I'm turning in my notice first thing and so sick over this. I'll let you know how it goes. Be online when I can. I'll comment here of the details. So anyone want to take bets if he tells me to go on or keeps me to train someone? What is your bet? This is a very difficult man I'm dealing with.

Monday

2006-05-15T05:40:00.000-07:00

Well, I came in extra early this morning for work. We usually have a weekly meeting at 7:30 am every Monday. No one had the decency to contact me that they cancelled the meeting. I was here before 7:00 am. Ugh! It is kind of funny. I had this feeling this morning that this was going to happen. Weird, hun? Anyway, doesn't make me happy. To top it off the boss left town last night for a job in Sacramento. This was a last minute meeting. So he will be back today, but we prolly won't see him at the office till tommorrow. We will prolly reschedule our meeting for tommorrow, so I'll have to come in early again. That aggravates me since I don't want to be here anymore than I have to with the pressure of quitting. (If anyone doesn't know what is going on, go down to Friday's post below.) So, now I have to wait till tommorrow to turn in my notice. My stomach is all mush and I'm so stressed out. The day is already dragging. Hope your Monday is better than mine!

Tribute to Mother's Day

2006-05-14T19:12:00.000-07:00

Why God made moms" answers given by elementary school age children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?
1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other Mom?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your Mom?
1. My Mom has always been my Mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.

What did Mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your Mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms and dads?
1. Moms work at work & work at home, & dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your Mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your Mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

If you could change one thing about your Mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.

3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on her back.

==============================

THE MOMMY TESTI was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. "Why?" my daughter asked. "Because it's been laying outside, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied. At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?" "Uh," ...I was thinking quickly, " All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy." We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information. "OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy.""Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face and joy in my heart

Update

2006-05-14T19:11:00.000-07:00

Well, we went to lunch on Friday and it went well. I'm turning in my notice on Monday or Tuesday. Depends on when my boss is there. The sooner the better. I'm sick just thinking about it, so please keep me in your thoughts.

Need Your Opinion

2006-05-12T07:40:00.000-07:00

I got an email yesterday from an old boss. Let me give you the background on the old boss and why I left. I was so happy working with him. It is where I met Max. They started having financial problems, so I was forced to find another job. I left, then Max did. Have all our eggs in one basket was scary. Shortly after we left he closed down and someone else bought the place and re-opened under another name and do a little different type of work, but the same industry. He still runs the place.

It is less than 1 mile from where our house is being built. Out of the blue yesterday he asked if I would be interested in working close to home. This came out of left field. Who wouldn't with gas prices, right? Anyway, we emailed back and forth all day. We discussed money, benefits and etc. It would be a little more money. About $200 more a month. Not much, but a little. Health insurance is better. I would have maternity on there where I don't now. It is casual dress 8-5, I could go home ever day at lunch. If I started before we move I would have to commute until then, but there is no traffice either way and would be more miles, but probably less time on the road due to traffic. Also I would be out there to go check on the construction of the house so Max and I wouldn't have to take so many trips in the evenings.

I like my job now okay, but it isn't my dream job by any means. I am loyal and feel bad for leaving or even wanting to leave. My old boss told me I could put in a notice and stay until they found someone to train. He would work with me. Just let me know the date I would for sure be there and he would have the position open for me. I wouldn't have to do any accounting anymore, which would be a great stress reliever. So, what do you think? I'm so stressed about possibly giving my notice. I have an email to my old boss to meet him today for lunch. I want to talk to him in person before I make any moves. Please tell your thoughts. I need some support in a bad way.

Have a great weekend!

OK listen up! As every southerner knows it's time to get ready for that all important cooking technique of the south---outdoor Grilling! I have found several stores (not just in the south) where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Q Grill! This is not a joke. You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores: A&P
Albertsons
Costco
Food Lion
Fry's
Kroger
Big Lots
Brookshire's
Meijer
Publix
Safeway
Sam's Club
TargetVons
Wal-Mart
Winn-Dixieand
even our beloved New Orleans Robert's
I especially like the higher shelf which can be used for keeping things warm!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor." "Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a doctor." So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart. He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout: "You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart." That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure. Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results. The computer prints the following:
1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!
Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

It is time to change from REDNECK humor to TRUE AMERICAN Humor! Only I don't see it as Humor, but the correct way to LIVE YOUR LIFE ! If you feel the same, pass this on to your True American friends. Ya'll know who ya' are... You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God." You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places. You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival." You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays. You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem. You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have. You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag. You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening. You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same. You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend. If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that you, like me, have just enough TRUE AMERICAN in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about in this email.
God Bless the U S A !

Cinco de Mayo

2006-05-05T08:46:00.000-07:00

Cinco de Mayo is a date of great importance for the Mexican and Chicano communities. It marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Althought the Mexican army was eventually defeated, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to represent a symbol of Mexican unity and patriotism. With this victory, Mexico demonstrated to the world that Mexico and all of Latin America were willing to defend themselves of any foreign intervention. Especially those from imperialist states bent on world conquest.
Cinco de Mayo's history has its roots in the French Occupation of Mexico. The French occupation took shape in the aftermath of the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. With this war, Mexico entered a period of national crisis during the 1850's. Years of not only fighting the Americans but also a Civil War, had left Mexico devastated and bankrupt. On July 17, 1861, President Benito Juarez issued a moratorium in which all foreign debt payments would be suspended for a brief period of two years, with the promise that after this period, payments would resume.
The English, Spanish and French refused to allow president Juarez to do this, and instead decided to invade Mexico and get payments by whatever means necessary. The Spanish and English eventually withdrew, but the French refused to leave. Their intention was to create an Empire in Mexico under Napoleon III. Some have argued that the true French occupation was a response to growing American power and to the Monroe Doctrine (America for the Americans). Napoleon III believed that if the United States was allowed to prosper indescriminantly, it would eventually become a power in and of itself.
In 1862, the French army began its advance. Under General Ignacio Zaragoza, 5,000 ill-equipped Mestizo and Zapotec Indians defeated the French army in what came to be known as the "Batalla de Puebla" on the fifth of May.
In the United States, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to be known as simply "5 de Mayo" and unfortunately, many people wrongly equate it with Mexican Independence which was on September 16, 1810, nearly a fifty year difference. Over, the years Cinco de Mayo has become very commercialized and many people see this holiday as a time for fun and dance. Oddly enough, Cinco de Mayo has become more of Chicano holiday than a Mexican one. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on a much larger scale here in the United States than it is in Mexico. People of Mexican descent in the United States celebrate this significant day by having parades, mariachi music, folklorico dancing and other types of festive activities.

Hump Day- What is in a Name?

2006-05-03T05:45:00.000-07:00

First, I would like to say happy hump day to all! I should be back in full force Friday. I tried to make my rounds yesterday afternoon, but blogger only let me comments on some blogs and not others. I couldn't even comment on my own. Was anyone else experiencing this? Anyway, what is in a name?

All of these are legitimate companies dealing in regular products
and services, but they didn't think their domain names through !!!!!!
Take note of their 'Domain Names' !!!!!!!!!!

Some of them are prime candidates for the
"What was I thinking?" Award !!!!!!!!!!!

ALL of these websites actually exist, selling something totally benign,
(and work - safe, in case you're wondering).

1). A site called 'Who represents' where you can find the name of
The agent that represents a celebrity.
Their domain name is: www.whorepresents.com

2). 'Experts Exchange', a knowledge base where programmers can
Exchange advice and views at: www.expertsexchange.com

3). Looking for a pen ????
Look no further than 'Pen Island' at: www.penisland.net

4). Need a 'therapist' ????
Try 'Therapist Finder' at: www.therapistfinder.com

5). Then of course, there's the 'Italian Power Generator Company' -
www.powergenitalia.com

6). And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery,
based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7). If you're looking for computer software, there's always
www.ipanywhere.com

8). Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church.
Their website is www.cummingfirst.com

9). Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers,
and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com

10). Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe ??????
Try their brochure website at: www.gotahoe.com !!!!!!!

Kidd Rock

2006-05-02T03:15:00.000-07:00

Kidd Rock? Sexy? Trashy? Both? Neither? What do you think of Kidd Rock. He makes me think of that song by Hank Williams Jr., I Like My Women On The Trashy Side, except it would be me singing I Like My Men On The Trashy Side. I do believe he is humbly trashy, but there is something sexy about him. Argh! What do you think?

Can of Worms

2006-04-29T08:55:00.000-07:00

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????

Bounce

2006-04-28T04:48:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine sent me the following email. I don't know if it has any truth to it or not. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this wise tale:

Bounce My mail carrier told me that the Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away. Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you.

1. All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer! It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.
2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.
4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.
6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.
7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.
8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.
9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.
10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.
12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan.
14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.
20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.
21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

Administrative Assistant Day

2006-04-26T06:05:00.000-07:00

In honor of all the great Administrative Assistants in blog land I would like you to know that you are a wonderful asset to any company. There shouldn't be only one Hallmark/FTD Florist Day set aside to honor you. You deserve to be appreciated every day. Here is some history on this appreciative day:
Administrative Professionals Week ― Always observed annually during the last FULL week in April, standard Sunday through Saturday calendar week - April 23-29, 2006
Administrative Professionals Day ― Observed annually the Wednesday of Administrative Professionals Week - April 26, 2006

Event History and Objectives:
This annual event was originally organized in 1952 as "National Secretaries Week" by the National Secretaries Association (now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals) in conjunction with public relations executive Harry Klemfuss and a consortium of office product manufacturers. It was established as an effort to recognize secretaries for their contributions in the workplace, and to attract people to secretarial/administrative careers. In the year 2000, IAAP announced a name change for Professional Secretaries Week and Professional Secretaries Day. The names were changed to Administrative Professionals Week and Administrative Professionals Day to keep pace with changing job titles and expanding responsibilities of today’s administrative workforce.

Over the years, Administrative Professionals Week has become one of the largest workplace observances. The event is celebrated worldwide, bringing together millions of people for community events, educational seminars, and individual corporate activities recognizing support staff with gifts of appreciation.

Make sure you wish your Admin a very special day. If you are admin, please let today be your day!

Would You Remarry?

2006-04-25T05:58:00.000-07:00

I have a controversial question for today. If something were to happen to your spouse for example they got sick and passed away, would you remarry? From experience with my parents, my dad passed away at 42 years young. My mom was only 40. I didn't want to see my mom go through the rest of her life alone. Luckily she met a wonderful man her same age who was also a widow. They have been married 14 years now. Back before my dad ever passes my mom use to tease that if she passed first, he better not remarry or have another women in her house. So, what are your thoughts? Would you consider re-marrying? Have you ever thought about this? How would you feel if your S.O. remarried? Here is something cute I received on this subject:

A husband and wife are sitting quietly in bed reading when thewife looks over at him and asks a bold question.

WIFE: "What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?"
HUSBAND: "Definitely not!"
WIFE: "Why not - don't you like being married?"
HUSBAND: "Of course I do."
WIFE: "Then why wouldn't you remarry?"
HUSBAND: "Okay, I'd get married again."
WIFE: "You would?" (with a hurtful look on her face).
HUSBAND: (makes audible groan).
WIFE: "Would you live in our house?"
HUSBAND: "Sure, it's a great house."
WIFE: "Would you sleep with her in our bed?"
HUSBAND: "Where else would we sleep?"
WIFE: "Would you let her drive my car?"
HUSBAND: "Probably, it is almost new."
WIFE: "Would you replace my pictures with hers?"
HUSBAND: "That would seem like the proper thing to do."
WIFE: "Would she use my golf clubs?"
HUSBAND: "No, she's left-handed."
WIFE: -- silence --
HUSBAND: "Crap."

Is Blogger Smokin' Crack?

2006-04-24T08:20:00.000-07:00

I have tried and tried to post comments and do a post this morning and blogger won't let me. Is it smokin' crack or what? Since I finally got through and all my creative juices are gone this is the post you get. LOL! Not much going on. Just a busy Monday. My allergies/sinuses are better, but still not good. Yesterday I got up and cleaned out the flower garden, while S.O. mowed, weed eat, trim trees, shrubs and etc. Then I cleaned out every cabinet and closet at my house. We made (2) trips to my mom's for stuff for her g-sale this weekend. I still have (1) more trip to make. Uck! Hopefully my junk will be someone else's treasures. If not I will either drop it off at Goodwill or put it in her shed till about a month before we move and we will recycle it to my house for one last g-sale and then what is left will be donated. If I have a g-sale at my house later it is different customers and by then I'll be ready to sell my living room furniture I have now for my new stuff for the new house. Yeah! We seen on Saturday that there is a SOLD sign in front of our lot. That made me feel good. I have to write a letter this week to put in with our rent check to my landlord that we will be moving. Yuck! Anyway, I got alot accomplished this weekend and ready for next to relax, but I don't get to relax cuz I have to help mom with the g-sale. Yuck! How was your weekend?

Treasure Hunt

2006-04-22T09:38:00.000-07:00

Well I met my mom and her friend about 6:30 a.m. this morning. We hit the huge community wide g-sale at Chandler's in Rockwall. I found a cute Kenneth Cole purse brand new for $4. 00. Then I found a guy that owns Sunglass Huts and had a whole table of brand new sunglasses. I got the cutest Ralph Lauren pair for $20.00. After we left I went to the mall and seen the same sunglasses for $110.00. Is that a steal or what? I had to go to the mall for the S.O. He is working today and Sear's had some of the Craftsman tools on sale from 9-12 only for 50% off. So I went and got him some goodies. Since then I'm been at home cleaning out closets and such for a g-sale at my mom's next weekend. This has been the fun of the day. So, what have you been up to?

Friday

2006-04-21T06:25:00.000-07:00

Woo-hoo! It is Friday. It couldn't have came enough. Everyone is out of my office today, except my boss. Yuck! I'm stuck with him all day. That prolly means lunch too. I came down with an allergy/sinus infection yesterday. Prolly from our crazy weather in Texas. I am doing better today, I think cuz my throat doesn't hurt so bad. Now I'm hoarse though. Maybe it will be an excuse not to have to talk to my boss, hun? LOL! I figure if I'm going to be miserable I might as well be miserable at work, hun? Well I got the final word yesterday that everything is a go ahead and approved on our house to be built. Yeah! I have to sign one statement at closing that I have never applied for credit under some alias that is showing up on my credit report. It scared me that someone had tried to fraud on my report, but it appears to just be a type-o. I don't know why anyone would want to steal my identity anyway. So we are so excited about the house being built. Yeah! I started H/O's insurance quotes today. Yes, I'm ahead of the game. Now, I have to write a letter to the landlord to go with the rent check that we are moving. I dread that since we are breaking our lease a little early. Can't wait to see how much it cost us or if he will just apply our deposit towards it. Anyway, no big plans for the weekend. Max is working on Saturday and I'm getting up early to go to a huge community wide garage sale at Chandler's Landing in Rockwall. It is an annual event and you can find lots of good treasures from the rich. LOL! Then I'll prolly go home and clean, and grocery shop before Max gets home. What an exciting weekend, hun? LOL! So, do you have any exciting plans? Well, hope everyone has a great day!

Martha Vs. Maxine (Hump Day)

2006-04-19T06:02:00.000-07:00

*Martha's Way*
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
*Maxine's Way *
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!
*Martha's Way*
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
*Maxine's Way *
Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix, keep it in the pantry for up to a year.
*Martha's Way*
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
*Maxine's Way *
Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you.
*Martha's Way*
If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up."
*Maxine's Way *
If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad Please recite with me the real woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!"
*Martha's Way*
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Celery?
*Maxine's Way *
Never heard of it!
*Martha's Way*
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
*Maxine's Way *
The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.
*Martha's Way*
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
*Maxine's Way *
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!
*Martha's Way*
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
*Maxine's Way *
Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.
*Martha's Way*
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
*Maxine's Way *
Leftover wine???????????
HELLO !!!!!!!

The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?
Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than in a Hyundai.
Drinking makes some husbands see double and feel single.
Living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.
After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

I thought I would start you off on Hump Day with some Martha vs. Maxine. You can never go wrong with Maxine, right? LOL! Only 2 more work days left this week. Yeah! So, did you hear congrats was in order for Tom Kat? Yes they had a baby girl, I think. Also, what do you make of Angelina and Brad delivering their baby in Africa? Is this healthy? Just want to know your thoughts on these celebrities. Hope everyone has a great Hump Day!

Tuesday Rambles

2006-04-18T06:11:00.000-07:00

I found out what the story with my niece was yesterday. (If you don't know what I'm talking about go down 2 post to WEIRD). Some kid went up to the office lady and told them her aunt wanted to go on the field trip. Well the lady thought the kids name was my niece's name because she had the two girls confused with one another. So that is how the whole mess started. I'm free and don't have to go on the field trip. Yeah!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It got over 100 degrees yesterday here in Texas. The power company wasn't expecting the temperature to get so hot and they weren't prepared. They had to shut down power here and there for 15 minutes at a time to store up power. So we had rolling black outs all over town. Luckily, my power didn't go off at my house, but I'm not sure about at work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must be hormonal today. I am mad at the world for no reason. I have really ripped the guys a new one over paperwork. If I don't quit mouthing I could get fired today. LOL!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, you seen above that it got over 100 degrees yesterday. Well, guess what? My tight wad boss wouldn't turn on the a/c. Luckily I have a ceiling fan in my office, but some don't. And people wonder why I have anger issues at work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will Friday ever get here?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's all I got for now, but there will be more moaning and groaning later. How do you like that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went into the store and asked for $5 of gas.

The cashier farted and handed me my receipt.

Weird

2006-04-17T07:18:00.000-07:00

Well, it is Monday and it is so dragging. I hate that. Anyway, I get an email from my ex-sil this morning that just reads, I need your fax #. I replied making sure she needed mine, cuz I thought maybe she clicked the wrong name in her address book. She replied back saying, yes you. She said my youngest niece's school needed to fax something to me. I replied again, asking why me. She replied back saying it was a permission slip for a field trip. At this point I'm really confused. So I asked why they would be faxing it to me, I'm not the guardian. She said someone from the school called and told her that they had to have a slip signed from the people participating and my niece told them I was goind with her. My ex sil assumed my niece had spoken to me about this, but I know nothing. My ex sil is calling the school back to get more information. I feel bad. I'm assuming my niece wanted me to go with her. I don't even know when it is or where. I doubt I could get off work. My ex sil is still getting more details for me. Is this weird or what? I am thinking my niece just had wishful thinking that I was going. That makes me feel bad. She and her sister are both my pride and joy!

Easter Sunday

2006-04-16T20:51:00.000-07:00

Easter was wonderful! I got up early and started cooking. Left and we headed to my mom's to help her finish getting things together. We had a feast. After lunch, mom had me to hide plastic eggs and she wrote numbers on them. We didn't have any small childern there. They ranged from 9-16. So, to do something fun for them she let the hunt the eggs, then depending on what number they had she gave them a prize. The boys got caps and cologne and such and the girls got bubble bath and parfume and such. It was a cute idea. We all just sit around and visited and ate and ate. Pretty typical for my family. It is all about eating. LOL! We like our groceries. On the way home Max's sister Kacie called and had free tickets to the Mavs game. You can't beat that, now can you? So her and her B.F. came by and we all went. The Mavs played Utah and won. It was a lot of fun. I really like hanging with her. She is like the sister I never had. Here are some pics that I took:

Anyway, if the pics are a little dark, try to click on them. We ended up sitting in section 102 row R. It was lower balcony and pretty good seats. Guess what style is back for guys again? Princess Fashion Enforcer is going to have fun with this. Guys are wearing their collars up. Do you remember that style many moons ago? This so marks me age. I know. Also, if you never have been to a Mavs game there is only one song to sum it up. Here it is, CLICK HERE. (<-- It will take it a minute to start playing the correct song). You may ask yourself why. Well there is so many "plastic" chics around that place. It is more fun to people watch than watch the game. LOL! Monday morning is going to suck though. I have to be at work an extra hour early for a meeting every Monday. Then it is pedal to the metal to get work done, so don't expect to see me on blogger till later in the morning. It is 11:05 Central now and I'm still up. This means I'm going to be tired Monday morning. Oh well, I can sleep Monday night, right? LOL! Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Saturday Night

2006-04-15T21:17:00.000-07:00

Well we just got in from shopping. Have you been to IKEA? I am loving it. I am hooked and addicted. Yes, I was a virgin to this place until today. It rocks! Almost as much at Em, but not quite. Anyway, it has really contemporary type stuff and so much space savings ideas. This would be perfect for a dorm, a small apartment or anyone on a low budget. We didn't buy much. Got some prints, frames, what nots decor thing to sit around and I got the cutest toy box. You ask, "Why a toy box when you don't have kids?". Well, it is for my dog's toys. It is so cute. You would just have to see it to understand. So here it is, but it doesn't give it justice. Guess what I paid? $12.99. Is that cute for the price or what?

Here is the print we bought, but the way I have it sitting to snap a pic the light from the ceiling is glaring, but you still got an idea. Max picked it out. A friend of his (a bachelor) has this and all the guys have signed by a different person their name and it is actually really neat looking.

Anyway, it is close to midnight now and we are exhausted. We have to get up early tommorrow and start cooking to take for Easter lunch at mom's. So, I am about to log off. Before I do, I wanted to show you what I just seen outside when I took the dog out. Well here it is:

I hope everyone has a great Easter and hope the Easter bunny treats you well. Have a great day!

My New Look

2006-04-14T13:34:00.000-07:00

Did you click on my link and think you were at the wrong blog? Well, your not. I have a new, much imporved look. All creativity and hard work is courtesy of Emily. She is so awesome. She is completely self-taught. Can you believe that? She is truelly talented. I hope she know how much I do appreciate this. Anyway, I just wanted to say to Emily that YOU ROCK! Please check out Em's blog when you get a chance. It is truelly amazing. Thanks again, Emily!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Easter!

I Got Tagged and You Could Be Next!

2006-04-13T08:38:00.000-07:00

I've been tagged by the Emily(who was tagged by Reluctant Housewife, who was tagged by sugarmama, who was tagged by the pajama mama), and since I can never be called a poor sport, I will do as I am told. I am supposed to share 6 weird things about my self, things I do, say, whatever....then tag 6 more people to spread the general weirdness(again). I am a very weird person so coming up with just (6) things will be incredibly easy.

So, here goes.

1. I'm to extremly observate at times for my own good. I pick up on things that most people wouldn't notice. For example, I catch more people in story telling cuz they forget who they have told what to and they can't be doing the same thing at two different places at the same time and so on and so on. Then this eats at me and makes me so nosey.

2. I don't like any veggies, but pickles on hamburgers or sandwiches.

3. I like to mix squeeze butter with my salsa at Mexican restaurnats (only if they have squeeze butter like Posado's) to dip my chips in.

4. I don't like to kiss before I brush my teeth. That just totally grosses me out.

5. I don't do the drinking after people thing either.

6. I have different work morals than most people. I can't stand for someone not to be at work at least 15 min early and back from lunch early and you don't turn off your computer or shut down till time to get off and not before. I also can't stand people staying on personal calls at work all day. Yes, I'm a hardass. Of course, if you can find time for blogger and get away with it w/o being caught that is okay. Very double standard, I know.

****FTR, (there is only supose to be (6) things, but I thought I would give you one to grow on) I'm not a big fan of candy unless I'm hormonal. How weird it that?

So, I am off to tag:

Tagees:
Shannon
Amy
Cherish
Kim
Gareth
Tina

Here are the rules-
1. Reveal six weird facts/things/habits about yourself and then tag six people
2. Leave a "You're Tagged!" comment to let the people you have tagged know they have to reveal six things (or the entire blogosphere will explode and it will be their fault)
3. Leave a comment HERE to let me know when you have completed your mission

Hope everyone has a great Good Friday, a great weekend and nice Easter!

Thirteen Things about Thoughts To Live On

1. Whatever happens, happens for a reason.
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. !
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love! with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Hump Day

2006-04-12T06:04:00.000-07:00

I got an email from an old friend yesterday and I can't decide if it is bad humor or good humor. Someways it is bad, but other ways it is funny. What do you think? I'm sure some of you have already seen this, but here it is anyway.

He emailed saying:

Guess who I ran into today?

(I'm thinking a blast from the past that we haven't seen in awhile. Well, here is the picture that was attached.)

Tuesday Random Thoughts

2006-04-11T06:09:00.000-07:00

I have another hectic week. Really trying to stay on task at work and we get to meet with the mortgage company this week. They will start building our home in June. I'm really excited.

I am going through all kinds of stuff this weekend. Out with the old and in with the new. Mom is having a garage sale the last weekend of April, so I'm going to get together things.

Saturday we may try to go to IKEA to look around for some new living room suite ideas. Then, Sunday we will go to my mom's for Easter lunch.

Is it bad that I totally live for weekends? I mean I really do. Every Monday I start the count down.

I was reading Em's blog yesterday about BlogHer and realized I had never heard of this. Have any of you? Sounds like so much fun and a great peep meet. Kim will be coming on a buisness trip to my area in November and Momma and I are going to meet up with her. I can't wait. Cezi also lives in my area, but I have never gotten to meet her or Em's for that matter. Ames is a R.L. friend like Momma so of course I have met most of them. If you were to go on a vacation would you try to meet up with a fellow blogger friend if you were going to be in their area? I would love to meet some of my blogger peeps. Jodes went to school in this area and has friends here. She may come here to visit soon. I mean, think about it. Just from blogging I have friends that I depend on living in California, Florida, Mississippi, Washington, New York, Canada, Ireland, everywhere in between and even Nowhere ville. Anyway, this thought is just about meeting bloggers, I guess.

Do you have just one truelly best friends or several close friends?

Why are so many people quitting blog or taking a break? I mean I know it is addicting, but I miss you.

Just want to end this post with saying I hope everyone has a great day.

House

2006-04-07T12:30:00.000-07:00

House hunting if fun at first, then it gets old real quick. We finally found one we like and the model/spec home was available. We decided to think about it. We go back (3) days later and there is a contract on it. So we are back to square one. Finally we have now decided to build one similiar to the model. It will start production in June and should be ready around September or so. Here are some pics of the model home:

Friday Funnies

2006-04-07T06:37:00.000-07:00

Hello, fellow bloggers. Well, I have so Friday funnies for you. I'll try to post some pics of the house this afternoon. My boss is for a meeting then will be come back and leave again to go out of town for the weekend. So I should have some free, I mean fun time this afternoon. Yeah! Anyway, if you too need to kill some time, try drawing a pig. For now, have a great weekend and here are some work funnies to end your week.

HNT (Half Nekid Thursday)

2006-04-05T21:30:00.000-07:00

For more information about HNT (Half Nekid Thursday), please click here.

My pic for today is my pinky finger. For some odd reason I was born with both my pinkies crooked. The bone just bows out. No clue why. I have accidentally broke both at different times and they still didn't grow back straight. My grandma (dad's mother) has the same conditions, so I think it is hereditary. Some people say arthiritis will do this, but hopefully I'm to young for that. Anyway, today I thought I would show you a very unattractive feature on my body. Hope everyone has a HHNT! Only one day till Friday. Yeah! Have a great day!

Finally, watch out for this lady:

Please be careful.
This person has found her way into my house and could
also get into yours.

A very weird thing has happened.
A strange old lady has moved into my
house. I have no idea who she is, where she came from,
or how she got in. I certainly did not invite her.
All I know is that one day she wasn't there,
and the next day she was.

She is a clever old lady and manages to keep out of sight
for the most part, but whenever I pass a mirror I catch a
glimpse of her. And, whenever I look in the mirror to check my
appearance, there she is hogging the whole thing, completely,
obliterating my gorgeous face and body. This is very rude!
I have tried screaming at her, but she just screams back.
The least she could do is offer to pay part of the rent, but no.

Every once in a while, I find a dollar bill stuck in a coat pocket,
or some loose change under a sofa cushion, but it is not nearly enough.
I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think she is stealing money
from me. I go to the ATM and withdraw $100, and a few days later,
it's all gone!

I certainly don't spend money THAT fast, so I can only conclude the old
lady is pilfering from me. You'd think she would spent some of that
money to buy wrinkle cream.

And money isn't the only thing I think she is stealing. Food seems to
disappear at an alarming rate-especially the good stuff like ice cream,
cookies and candy. She must have a real sweet tooth, but she'd better
watch it, because she is really packing on the pounds.

I suspect she realizes this, and to make herself feel better, she is
tampering with my scale to make me think I am putting on weight too.
For an old lady, she is quite childish. She likes to play nasty games,
like going into my closets when I'm not home and
altering my clothes so they don't fit.

And she messes with files and papers so I can't find anything.
This is particularly annoying since I am extremely
neat and organized.

She has found other imaginative ways to annoy me.
She gets into my mail, newspapers and magazines before
I do and blurs the print so I can't read it.

And she has done something really sinister to the volume controls on my
TV, radio and telephone. Now, all I hear are mumbles and whispers.

She has done other things - like make my stairs steeper, my vacuum
heavier and all the knobs and faucets harder to turn. She even made my
bed higher so that getting into and out of it is a real challenge.

Lately, she has been fooling with my groceries before I put them away,
applying glue to the lids, making it almost impossible for me to open the jars.

She has taken the fun out of shopping for clothes. When I try something
on, she stands in front of the dressing room mirror and monopolizes it.
She looks totally ridiculous in some of those outfits, plus she keeps me
from seeing how great they look on me.

Just when I thought she couldn't get any meaner, she proved me wrong.
She came along when I went to get my picture taken for my driver's
license and just as the camera shutter clicked, she jumped in front of
me.

I hope she never finds out where you live. I really do!

Dr Phil's Test:
Here you go. Try this! Below is Dr Phil's test. (Dr. Phil scored 55; he did this test on Oprah - she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out! Read on, this is very interesting! Don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty accurate and it only takes 2 minutes. Take this test for yourself and send it to your friends.

Don't peek, but begin the test as you scroll down and answer. Answers are for who you are now..... not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust In your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Hump Day

2006-04-05T06:40:00.000-07:00

Happy Hump Day, everyone!

Well we got our massages last night. I had so many knots from looking down at the computer ever day all day. She really worked them out hard. I'm actually a little sore today, but in a good way. I feel much better. Tonight we go decide on a house. Yeah!

Anyway, today I want to share things with you on our local news.

First, K-Fed (Mr. Brittany Spears) was at our local radio station KISS 106.1 with Kidd Kraddick and the morning show last Friday promoting his new album. Kidd challenged K-Fed to a dance off on the dance revolution game. Here is a video clip of this and it is hiliarious.

Streaker

Now, to celebrate the mid week I have a little game for you.
Here's a stress reducer for you. I can get on the dance floor now without hurting my poor old body..he,he! Bet it makes you smile.

You should have your sound on for this one. And be creative!

Last, but not least I have updated some really great and funny video clips on my side bar under "MY VIDEOS", if anyone wants to kill time and watch.

Hope you all have a great day!

Tuesday Random Thoughts

2006-04-04T06:04:00.000-07:00

We made it through Monday at work. Yeah!

We got pre-approved for a new home. We have picked one out. Now we go Wednesday night to decide if we want the model or build a new one. We can get the model with the upgrades already in it and it would be less expensive then building with the same upgrade. I just can't pick my colors and can't upgrade the carpet like I would want to do. So we are going to re-look at the model and see the difference of prices then decide.

We both have massage appointments tonight. I can't wait. I really need it.

Some really great bloggers have been talking about quitting blog land or taking a break. I hope they don't. They are wonderful people.

It is 53 degrees right now, but supose to be getting in the 70's again today. Yeah!

Allergies and sinuses are getting the best of most people around here with the weather and something in the air.

I'm already ready for the weekend.

Anything interesting going on in your life?

Have a good day and I'll be around blogging today, when I can.

Monday

2006-04-03T06:31:00.000-07:00

Well, it is already Monday again. Crazy how quick our weekends pass, hun? I have another hectic week so if I don't make it to your blog to comment quick enough I apologize in advance. We had a busy weekend, but didn't get nearly enough accomplished. This weekend is up in the air, cuz we don't know yet if the S.O.'s work schedule. So it will either be Nascar, stay in town and do the annual rodeo parade and festival for the opening weekend of the rodeo or if he goes out of town to work the doggie and I may go with him. Decisions, decisions. We looked at some home this weekend. Something small, but still big enough for room for us to grow. We have many more to look at. Here is a floor plan at one we are kinda liking so far:

Here is a drawing of the outside:

Sunday

2006-04-02T18:05:00.000-07:00

Well, it was really hot here today. We went and looked at some new homes and found some really liked. We still have more to look at. It really takes alot of time going through new homes. We got home and cleaned and raked some leaves in the heat. The dog enjoyed time in his pool as you can see. Tonight we are at my aunt's home. She rented a PPV for Wrestle Mania for her daughter and whoever else to come see. The guys are watching it and my mom and aunt are messing with the dogs and I'm taking the time to blog. Yeah! I'm sure I'll have another crazy week at work, but I'll blog when I can. If I don't make it by your blog enough I apologize in advance. Anyway, I hope you have a great week and the new time isn't kicking everyone in the butt. Have a good one!

Friday

2006-03-31T07:00:00.000-08:00

I'll post some Friday funnies later. For now, it is extremly busy at work and been like this most of the week. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of blogger world more in the next couple of weeks. Last night I laid in bed thinking of how I so didn't want to be at work today, but then looked at the positive side that if I took the day off it would be that much more stress when I returned and decided I should come in. I woke up this morning and still had no desire to be at work. So, I decided I could look at things (2) ways. Either decide now it was going to be a bad day and it would be or decide it was going to be a good day and make it good. I decided it was going to be a good day. I brought donuts in for everybody and I'm keeping a smile on my face and a positive attitude. What a way to end the week, hun? Now, if I can keep this positive attitude on Monday and start the week out right next week maybe it too will be a better week. Anyway, I'm off to do my work. Yuck! I'll post and comment and visit blogs later. Happy Friday and have a good weekend!

P.S. Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend for daylight savings time.
