The Grand Scheme of Things

I am going to Atlantic City tomorrow and I left a "honey-do" list for my man. I expect that when I come back I can start planning to plant my vegetables for the season. I bought the Better Homes and Gardens magazine which has a full spread of what veggies to grow when and how you can recycle the.... Okay enough of the Domestic Goddess, I am going to take enough Allergy medication so I do not sneeze, find myself a good Roulette table, have a 'free' cocktail and gamble. I am hoping that I make enough money to pay off any debt that I am not aware of yet, or that I have been purposely ignoring. If you are my boss and reading this, I am so joking ahAHHHAAHAHA! We are leaving tomorrow morning, I will get up earlier than I do for work. I am hoping that I have a good time. Everyone who reads this leave me a number to bet on, if I will I will donate the winnings to a Cancer society benefitting children.

5 bucks down the drain

Today I watched New Moon, which for those of you who have no idea about the epidemic of young teen girls wanting their necks sucked or older woman who are having teen dreams of a young Edward, it is the second movie made from a book in the Twilight series. Now this movie was not as cheesy as the first, except for the part when the menacing werewolf comes out of the forest and it is growling, but looks like a large fake wolf that is on wheels. With a movie like Avatar having such spectacular effects, it makes me wonder why New Moon did not follow suit. Anyways, the young bella drifts around without Edward, he moves away after his crazy brother, who only utters 2 lines throughout the entire movie, tried to make a move on Bella after she endures a paper cut at her birthday party. I guess that the blood was too much to take, maybe he needs to eat a sandwich. Bella, who is unable to move from the couch is mourning that Ed is gone, still looks thin as ever. She goes and does stupid things, w

Spring has Sprung

As most of us in Northern Virginia, the time has come. The time to clean out our cars, because now that we can have our windows down, we dont want anything flying out of the car and assulting anyone. We start seeing people outside the house with other things than snow shovels in their hands. Everyone, and I mean everyone has a smile on their faces. On the way to the grocery store you see hundreds of cars outside of Home Depot, making the yearly bulb and soil trek. I by the way, am doing that next weekend. I am looking forward to this, but I do not think my nails are. The spring cleaning around the house has also begun. I have some plans as to what I am cleaning before I am home for a few weeks on medical leave and I do not want to see a single dust bunny under the bed, tables or hanging out procreating with the spiders in the corner or on top of the cabinets. I plan on putting everyone to work, doing something, while I read my latest novel and relax watching television harvestin

a Friday Funny, or an obituary...

A man, or maybe a mouse went for finger surgery today. He got there on time and the procedure went very well. He called me on his way back to work to let me know that while he was in the waiting room he was reading about a hospital in the area, where I will be giving birth to Elvis soon, and they had a special article on my type of 'birthing' process. He read this and exclaimed to me that "I will be up and back to work the next day". After he called me back, since I hung up on him, he said that after two weeks these women were running 2 miles. I was speechless and was thinking very fast on my feet this morning so I came back with, since you had surgery on your ring finger, you can wait till tomorrow and be able to put that wedding ring back on your finger right? He came back, "well I dont think I am going to get anything over this knuckle for a long time". Then I said, Well, looks like I wont be running two miles two weeks after surgery. Idiot! Why do

TGIM Yes M

Thank god it is Monday. I had a weekend that seemed to go on forever and I was actually looking forward to going back to work this morning. I woke up to rain and a sore throat, the rain I knew was coming, the sore throat I attribute to screaming so much, or laughing so much this weekend. All in all it was great. Got home in time to order pizza do two loads of wash watch some television had a migraine start so I was in bed by 830 last night. But heck it was really 9:30 so there! Time change, I didn't notice as much cuz I got so much sleep. I am sure that tonight I may feel the effects, we shall see. Nothing else is happening in my life that is blog worthy. 37 more days before Elvis leaves the building.

Friends come in all shapes and sizes

I have been blogging since 2003. I started out with Livejournal, thinking that was the only blog world out there. A friend turned me on to that, and I was hooked. I then discovered Blogger and have 'lived' here ever since. I have found blogs of people with the same interests or not, and have read them over the years, thus their everyday life has become a part of mine. I have posted for giveaways, given them my advice, thanked them for their post of the day and also promoted their blog on mine. Today I wanted to let you know of a giveaway that a friend is having for her birthday. For every comment that is left, she will add a gift to her present, which will go out to a random person who leaves a comment. It would also be great if you mentioned my blog when you are there. Such a great idea she has to share her birthday with someone else. I would have never thought of it, but then again being an only child I have learned that the world does indeed revolve around me!

A name is just a name, so give me one...

April 21st is the date that I need the name for. I am giving birth. Yep you heard me right, giving birth. If you do not get squemish read on I am giving birth to my uterus. I need a name. Has to be a male's name, cuz no female could even fathom of the pain this uterus has put me through. I thought already of hermoinal but when I say it a few times it comes out like Her Man Hole... I just dont think that is saying much of my womanhood if you know what I mean. So leave me a name. I have also been asked to see if I can bring it home in a jar...

Very productive weekend

I have been busy busy! Friday I was able to get some stuff done around the house. I have been making a list of things that I want to get done before I give birth to my uterus, because if I am home and see the things that I wanted to clean, then I will be doing it then, and that is not allowed. I got the stove clean, bought new kitchen towels and cloths. Table mats also, all green. a light green. I have cleaned the entire stove and am waiting for a good day to leave the windows open so I can do the oven. I also need to buy gloves for this. Interesting post isn't it. I am down to one fish in the tank. I have been debating on what to do with him. He is so lonely but I will not buy any more fish until this tank is cleaned out and all good to go. Is a sight to see. I want to strip the banister and refinish it. There is about ten years worth of gunk on them and I would love to see the actual color of the banister. I was looking at those tosy turvy plants and decided against it..

Tater Tot Thursday

I sneak on the rail, looking for my tater tots. I do not smell any so I go closer to the door, I see that stupid cat who thinks that he can catch me and kill me. He does not know that I am Tater, the Terrorist, I kill you! I wonder at times, what he would do if I went Stealth Squrriel on him... we will have that for another week... so I still do not see my normal taters, I see omg peanuts, in a sheeellllll. Better than Jose on a stick! I grab a peanut, and torment the cat, the dumb silly cat who will never catch me!

No matter how old your children are

You still care for them in ways that can be lethal. You feel the pain that they are going through even if you think that it is a bit dramatic. You will never forget your first love and how much it hurt when they started ignoring you, already moving on to the next one. You never forget the long time boyfriend who would do anything for you, yet you didn't feel the same, so you saw someone else and hurt your boyfriend in the process. You never forget an episode where your trust is betrayed in a marriage and the emptiness you feel when there is no trust. Hopefully we have learn from our mistakes as well as mistakes that others have included you on. I have met many a friend who complicated my life as well as their own with mistakes. Some of these have costed friendships. This is not something I choose to go through again. I am fourty years old, I choose my friends carefully becuase I do not want drama or mistakes. I understand that what I put myself into can deal the conflicts tha

Another one by Brad Paisley

If I could write a letter to me And send it back in time to myself at 17 First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid And then I'd say I know it's tough When you break up after seven months And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare And oh you got so much going for you going right But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night She wasn't right for you And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back And you're wondering if you'll survive You'll make it through this and you'll see You're still around to write this letter to me At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth Always stop completely don't just tap your breaks And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool Each and every ti

For my friends

Taylor Swift You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors It's the morning of your very first day You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while Try to stay out of everybody's way It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here For the next four years in this town Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say You know I haven't seen you around, before Cause when you're fifteen and Somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen feeling like There's nothing to figure out Well count to ten, take it in, this is life before you know Who you're gonna be At fifteen You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail And soon enough you're best friends Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool We'll be out of here as soon as we can And then you're on your very first date And he's got a car and you're feeling like flying And your mama's waiting up and y
