*A neutron walks into a bar. "I'd like a beer" he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer. "How much will that be?" asks the neutron. "For you?" replies the bartender, "no charge"

******************************Need to relax while writting your blog??? Here is a page where you can hear them without downloading and best of all it's free! (Gosh I LOVE free)
http://www.getrelaxed.com/****************************** Going back to school, sort of. I decided to sign up for a BNU online course. I haven't taken any class except a birthing class in the last 10 years. This should be fun.
**************************I would like a job to make extra money. I want to work out of my home. I don't want to work more than 25 hours a week. I don't care about benefits. I don't want to work some scam. I don't want to invest money. I think I am dreaming.
**************************Someone please give me some funny authors to read. I am out of books. When I am out of books I am out of my mind.

Sigh.
Something strange is happening to the appearance of my blog. Sigh. Hopefully it will work itself out soon.
Me, Myself and I randomly thinking
Ever wonder if Melinda Gate's computer crashes and she throws it out the Window('s support window)? I honestly thought of this at about 4am when I was listening to the wind blow.

Me, Myself and I... Just rocks me down to my (De La) Soul. Oh, just shoot me, it's on my XMFM radio right now.

Barf fest February 2006 appears to be over!
********************************
My lovely husband bought me the Lovely lotion by Sarah Jessica Parker. Nice gift, I've been wanting it for a while now. Since most of you don't know me, I'm not a big perfume fan, so being able to part with the $$$ for some is a BIG deal for me. (I'm also a major tightass when it comes to something I find frivilous)
********************************
Go Diego Go... not only is it a TV show, but it is my cousin's newborn's name. She has a son about 4 years old (that she named after an ex boyfriend) who is in love with Diego... so they named the new baby Diego. I could go on and on about how dumb she is. Amen she's not in my gene pool, she belongs to Elmer's side.
********************************
I am still perplexed that Canadian Customs don't use weapons. This allows them to walk off the job if they feel in danger, allowing anyone to enter at that port unless U.S. Customs sees fit to stop them, provided we have any idea they are coming.

I am still in my pajamas.
*********************************
Tomorrow I plan on getting dressed, showering too, so I can put on Lovely and look lovely at the same time.
*********************************
Elmer bought soft pretzels today, that were rock hard.
*********************************
I've become hooked on
Sudoku puzzles. Right now I only like them online because you can check for mistakes. I get really pissed if I think I've completed something and then find out I royally screwed up.
*********************************
I am going to go through the DQ drive through for some ice cream. Yes in my pajamas, wtf do they care what I'm wearing. They don't get paid enough to care.
Ciao for now!
Murder mystery on my street
I was thinking about writing a murder mystery novel about my neighbor across the street. I can guarantee some of you out there have known people similar to this stubby fellow. I'll just call him Stubs.
Stubs is a local lobbyist/activist. His big cause at the moment is saving the local lake from motorboats. I would say good for him BUT and that is a BIG BIG BUT... he's poisoning my family and neighbors.
He drives a 70something datsun wagon. This thing is leaking fuel, leaking oil, blowing out black smoke and barely runs. In the mornings when I hop in the van to take Punkinhead to school, you can bet Stubs hops in his car and starts up his crop duster, choking us to death on his fumes. Now maybe if he wasn't an environmentalist... maybe if he didn't own a $400,000 home... I wouldn't have such a problem. Stubs has the $$$ his short little chubby hairy body is just too lazy or uncaring to fix it.
Stubette, Stub's wife, drives a 70s van. I'm not sure WHAT this van is missing but it is louder than a freakin helicopter when they start it up. For some reason they also think they need to warm it up for 30 minutes before they go anywhere, so our house is in a constant shake until they finally pull away. Stubs has been under this van all week, I thought he was fixing it, until Elmer came in and said he thinks Stubs fell asleep, he must have just been looking for a quiet place away from Stubette (you would have to see/hear her).
The local highschool is not even a block away from our house. Teenagers stroll up and down all day, coming and going to school and of course a few rude ones dropping garbage.
Here is the biggest peeve of Stubs: HE THROWS THEIR GARBAGE ON MY PORCH!
Now I keep my yard/house in great shape. I don't throw garbage down and pick up garbage when I see it etc. I'm not sure WHY Stubs does this. I don't talk to him, never argued with him, never did anything to him, never said anything to the other neighbors about him, just to Elmer and I'm sure Elmer didn't spread it. My children don't run about the neighborhood, I don't run about the neighborhood.
The only reason I can think of is that the left wing anarchist is acting out against my Elmer, who is a Federal Officer. I also know dude is mad because I had a "Yes on Flouride" poster in my yard. Hey, I would vote no but who is going to pay my dental bills. This town was and is still split over the flouride issue. I suppose it will be in the courts and on the next ballot. In the mean time, I just get flouride from my pharmacist and deal.
I know this sounds totally petty and maybe it is. Think about it though, how would you like to be cropdusted and have garbage thrown on your porch for minding your own business.
Sigh. The Mystery Machine van just started up... Off to put my feet on the wall for a good massage.
Ciao for now!
Sonofagoshdarnfemaledog!
Earlier today I posted a link for Anne George... Apparently before I read it all. She's dead! (still good series of books however)
That just reminded me of when I found this great show on HBO. I was so excited! I have on demand so I watched 2 seasons in 2 days! Then I found out "Dead Like Me" DIED! Man, I was pissed. Poor Elmer is still hearing about it and this was like a year ago.
Punkinhead is STILL throwing up. I just found out she keeps drinking water, therefore she is tossing it right back up. STOP IT! LOL
Final straw. Dancing With the Stars has taken my Desperate Housewives spot tonight! That is THE dumbest show on TV. Not to mention Lisa Rinna's devastation all over the air. I think that all the collagen injections into her lips has taken over her brain. Normally I wouldn't give it all a second thought, but she was on EVERYTHING, including Larry King (who is going to turn into Jerry Springer if he's not careful).
I have a small handful of shows I must watch every week:
Most Haunted (Travel Channel)
Desperate Housewives
I try and catch Rodney and Still Standing, doesn't always happen.
I would LOVE to be asleep right now, unfortunately, One Sock woke up because of Punkinhead's crying. Skinnybones is in bed, she goes back to school after a week of vacation, Punkinhead does not (she's not happy about that, neither am I). Elmer should be on his way home soon, so at least we can tagteam the kidlets. My sympathy with single parents (been there done that with Skinnybones).
Ciao for now!
I wish it was Sunday, cuz that's my fun-day
Flummoxed's Favorite.
It's my lucky day! Now Punkin has that stomach flu One Sock had the other day. Good thing she can make it to the toilet, whew!
Today was a decent day (other than the vomit). Elmer brought me breakfast in bed, ok it was just toast but hey, I wasn't hungry after. He also bought my coffee... that was awesome! I did have to fold laundry and iron outfits and uniforms for the week. Honestly though, I like to iron these days. Gives me a chance to think and everyone steers clear, afraid I'll put them to work.
I finished another
Anne George book. It's a southern sister mystery type series. Nice easy reading with some giggles. Check them out!
I've been messing around with links and Blog Explosion. Click the links and check them out!
Time to hop into pjs to watch Desperate Housewives and give this old computer a good defrag and all that.
Tomorrow is payday. Pay this Mofo and that Mofo (bills).
Ciao for now!
Balls... snow or suction
First of all...we are just a few days from March and it is what??? snowing??? Bizarre weather for the Pacific Northwest that's for sure!
I was reading a blog a couple of days ago. This man/young adult was talking about how he spends days thinking about his next post to make it interesting. I was wondering, how long did he spend thinking about thinking what he was going to put in that blog? I don't really think before I post... it probably shows, but you can think to much and really come off as if you never thought at all. If you think you know what I mean, think about it a bit and let me know ;)
Punkinhead had a birthday party this afternoon, so Elmer and I went out looking for an original present. I don't know this girl very well, other than the fact she LOVES animals. What I thought was great was that they asked for a donation for the alternative Humane Society here in our city. Just a pet toy, bag of food collar whatever. The easiest part was finding the pet item... some chew toy that would engage the dog. Finding the present for her friend was not so easy! I ended up paying an outrageous amount for a box that had the makings of bunny slippers (that I probably could have bought assembled for half the price). I hope her friend doesn't think it's wrong to wear bunnies on her feet (no it's not made with real fur).
While we were out I bought Punkin and One Sock these balls made of suction cups...BIG MISTAKE. They make the loudest noise when they are thrown to stick at the wall and ripped off. I just wanted something cheap and small to entertain the smidgets a bit since it is so cold outside and One Sock is skinnier than any child in those feed a child for $.20 a day commercials (I promise we feed him!).
Time to grab some coffee and a book, take away the suction cup balls and whip out some watercolors.
Ciao for now!
Time flies when you are NOT having fun...
Wednesday night: Elmer is off of work. We are all having a kickback kind of day. The kids are on midwinter break. We have a late lunch/early dinner of a local drive-in. Gus takes the kids to play, while I fold some laundry etc. I am sitting here, ready to blog and I hear the strangest sound... noooooooo it can't be, can it be? No, it can't! One Sock Joe is barfing up all of that chicken on my living/dining room carpet. I thought that vomit with chunked hot dog smelled gross (courtesy of Punkinhead)... chicken is a close up second! Thank goodness a few years ago I had sense to buy a carpet cleaner! There would have been no way to get that clean, honestly... ick, I won't go into more detail. So I clean the spot very well, whew! Uh oh! Now there is a big clean spot on the carpet! Very obvious... it wasn't going to be able to wait until March when I do spring cleaning. Sooooo I spent the rest of Wednesday night cleaning carpets with the cleaner that has a bum trigger and water continually shoots out... I can't afford a new one this pay period, but you can bet your ass I'm buying one next payday!
Thursday: We spent most of the day with the olympics on waiting for ice skating. We are fortunate to have a Canadian station that plays big events in real time, so we watched ice skating starting about 11am our time. I was disappointed that the Americans didn't do better. Hughes did wonderful for such short notice (thanks alot selfish Michelle). The Japanese lady did an excellent performance, congratulations! Now I can't just waste my days saying I'm waiting for an event... I'll have to come up with a new excuse to lay around!
Friday: Elmer is back at work. Punkinhead had a friend over. One Sock Joe fell in love with the friend (he loves older women). We had some freak snow... good thing it didn't stick, but it gave the kids something to run around in for a bit and it was nice to look at. No big hot plans for tonight, typical but nice. I have a book waiting for me and that nice new bed that I can't seem to stay out of!
Ciao for now!
On a mission - impossible
Once again I am desperately trying to get organized. Mostly my paperwork and all that... Sometimes that mission seems well... Impossible!
No no no, I'm not going to go on and on about getting organized. You'll have to go to Flylady.net or something for that (she's a bit overbearing for me, but some people swear by her... I just swear AT her).
I finally went to the store today without dragging along kids (poor Elmer) ... Where did I go??? Walmart LOL. In my quest to get organized, I started printing off some sheets for my notebook...I had JUST put a color cartridge in them blammoooooo, the black ran out... daggonitall! Printer ink is EXPENSIVE... And I don't know about you all, but mine isn't good enough to print up money on... So I tried buying a refill package, where you refill it yourself. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and it was honestly a nice way to save myself $12! I also picked up some pens... I have a strange love for pens, desk supplies and anything for cleaning. I bought pens, paper, a new phonebook AND clorox cleaner for the toilet. Elmer just shakes his head at me...I don't blame him.
All that organization and pen shopping has plum worn me out!
Ciao for now!
