~Meet Joe Taylor~


Ok..... So most of you know that I am BEYOND picky about the music I listen to.... And RARELY do I find an artist that I actually like both the lyrics AND their voice / tone.......


I've found that in Joe Taylor............ I think I might have blogged about him before but guys, he's absolutely one of the most talented artists I've heard in a LONG time............


I hear a lil Steve Perry in there...... But more importantly ........ I *hear* an old sensitive soul in his lyrics and he sings with a passion.............. Something MOST bands know NOTHING about....


Rob and Chrissy I EXPECT you to go see him play... He does alot of shows in NY.......


My personal favorites of his are "Save Me" and "Life"


You can check them out on his website at http://www.joetaylorofficial.com/

Hic-cup


Here's the "offical" kiddo pick for 2008 I had a good friend of mine do a photo shoot with them back in the fall and this was just too adorable sooooooooo there ya go....... no more yelling at me about new pics of the kids!


Anything I say from here on in can be considered ramblings and when I read this tomorrow night I'll probably slap myself in the head a few times for doing this........ :P (Sorry it's a Vodka evening and until 4th quarter is over expect one of these a week!!!!!)


Gripe Time................


First..... WHY the hell does Gloria Allred wear pink eyeshadow? Wait...... why does ANYONE wear pink eyeshadow..... It's almost as offensive to me as the damn 70's blue eyeshadow...... I don't get it...... it's NOT *pretty* ladies please please please......... cease and desist from that shit.......


Second gripe for the night....... Why does my boss call me 50x a day...... to tell me the same thing over and over AND over again........ Can someone please disconnect his damn phone? Seriously I am going to start forwarding my phone to a Dr. Phil hotline..........


Third gripe....... Hell I can't remember it must not have been that important.......... and I think I am finally tired enough to go to bed.... So I guess you all won't have to put up with my rants tonight :P

***Twilight***


I watched a new release on my favorite website today........ ((NO NOT YOUTUBE!) LoL...... The name of the movie was ................ "Twilight"......... and I gotta tell ya guys....... I can NOT remember liking a movie THIS much......... I was *hooked* after the first 2 minutes and I couldn't peel myself away from the screen.....


The *passion* that was in this movie was just INCREDIBLE....... and before you twits accuse me of watching porn........ NOT even close....... This movie was just "ME"....... 100% ME.......


:Sigh: I think this will be the FIRST DVD that I've added to my collection in a long time......... (that is when it comes out on DVD) LoL


Til then........ If you have hi-speed and wanna watch it........ go to http://www.watchtvsitcoms.com/ DO NOT DOWNLOAD Zango or whatever the pop up is that they ask u to........ Just click "Movies" and it's on the list of new releases...........


LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor Poor Sparky......

I l.o.v.e Beta's....... If you have never owned one they are a MUST..... The kiddos and I have always had atleast one in the house and they tend to live for us for 3 to 4 years..........

Well, when our last one "passed away" I decided it was time to take a break........ That is until Miss Chloey saw one at WallyWorld and went nutso..... I went ahead and bought it for her and we've had "Sparky" for about a year and a half now........ (then came the other 3 but we won't talk about those) :P

"Sparky" has been having difficulties getting to the top of the tank lately, and when he does he sinks quickly to the bottom and just "lays" there....... Well after about a week of me bringing him up to the top with the net so he can get air and feeding him...... I decide ENOUGH is enough this poor fish is suffering..... (what kind of loon am I?) LOL

Anyway, off to the pet store I go...... (Did ya know they actually sell MEDICINE for fish?) I guess there are more loons just like me out there :P

I buy it...... Come home..... and ......... Nuffin..... Sparky won't even "think" about it......

So, tonight I decide to google "Beta Sinks" just to see if anyone else has ever had problems with their beta and what they did..... Those are really his only symptoms.... HE SINKS.......

Sooooooooooooooooo guess what pops up?

The damn fish is constipated........ I shit u not.... (no pun intended)

Sooooo now I'm on my way back upstairs to try to get him to eat a PEA..... (that's the flipping cure) Can I have my 20 bucks back for the fish medicine? AND if that doesn't work..... I get to give him an epson salts bath........

Fish Constiflippingpation........ Who would have thunk it........

Letting Go......

I ran into my "dad" a couple of weeks ago while I was working, & although I've tried to stifle the emotions it's renewed ...... I'm having a really hard time "letting it go".....

I think the thing that bothers me the most is I really thought I was done being angry at this man..... I had made the decision to put it behind me, and put him out of my head....... That seemed to last a few years..... ((And believe me THAT was hard to do........ I look in the mirror and I see his eyes.... (mine)

So although the negativity was......."put away"...... I have a daily reminder of "where" I come from......... every time I look at me...... And..... maybe, just maybe that is why I *hate* looking at pictures of myself......

I won't open myself up to him, and allow him to hurt my children the way he has me........ But I have made the decision to break this evil / vicious cycle and let the "hate" go......

I don't know how I am going to do it.......... but......... somehow I have to get enough courage to walk up to him and let him know that I forgive him.......... and.......... if and when he needs me I'll be there for him .......

I suppose in alot of ways I'm being selfish because I'm really not doing this for him....... I'm doing it for *me* and to *prove* to me that although I have his genetics...... I am not him...... and I've chosen a very different path than he took.....

Happy Birthday "Dad"......... I've always thought of you on this day, and I probably will continue until the day I die........ I wish things could have been different.......and I wish just once...... I could have heard you say I love you..........

Just a real quick......blog.....

This day can't end soon enough so I am going to bed early! :P

Tyler lost his second tooth today... :0) He decided that he digested the first one so well that he'd try swallowing the second one also...... (yeah he's honestly swallowed BOTH of them so far) :shrug: To make matters worse he is wearing this as a badge of honor.... He thinks that since the tooth fairy has to use a special wand to get the tooth from his tummy that he gets extra $$ (whose flipping idea was it to make THAT story up to him...!!!!!)

The Munchkins.....

I stopped by mom's house tonight after work to pick the kiddos up..... I literally made it 2 steps into the door when I heard 3 sets of feet running to me all 3 sputtering to get the first "Mommy Mommy" out first.......

I bent down gave them all hugs and the "Mommy Mommy" war continued..... Just as I thought my head was going to start to spin I managed to get out """OOOOOOOOK Guys ONEEEEEEEE AT A TIME""" We'll flip a coin and we'll see who goes first Deal?!?!?

Logan started it off.... He only wanted to get out one sentence which was....

"Mama, Tyler slapped me in the head would you spank him?"

Tyler ofcourse responded NOOOOO I didn't he's just trying to get another one of my beanie babies! (I have a rule in our house that's simple-- if you raise your hand or you smack your brothers or sisters they get to choose a toy that is yours and keep it) It's amazing how fast the hands have stopped flying!


Once we were past *that* drama it was Chloey's turn..... THIS was the EXACT sentence she hit me with.....and the only way I can express it in "typed words"

Mama-- Sissy took me shopping today on the internet and I learned all about percentages and I can tell you what 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 and 90% off is on any number you give me..Give me one mama give me one!!!!!! Oooooooh and I found the most fabulous top can you buy it for me AND Tyler really did hit Logan, but logan hit him first I didn't do anything I swear and Uncle told me that if you wouldn't buy me that shirt he would buy it for me and you look pretty mommy.....

See that above paragraph? Imagine that flying at you within 5 seconds..... there was NO pause.... NO time to answer her..... NO time to give her a number... it was literally "faster than a speeding bullet"......

I kneeled down so I could look her in the eye and said.... Chloey?...... Baby...... do you realize that your body needs you to BREATHE? "Yes Mama" then S-L-O-W down and let's start this all over again......

Sissy took you shopping today?

"Yes Mama and I found this fabulous top and it's 40% off of 30.00 which makes it $18.00 plus shipping but sissy said shipping is free for any order over 25.00 so I wish it wasn't 40% off because with shipping it's gonna be 26.00 so it's really not 40% off and I really wanted this and I'm going to have to find a pair of matching"

I didn't even try to stop her I just put my index finger to my lips and said Shhhhh

She stopped and said... "I did it again huh?"......

Yes baby you did...... let's try it again....

Her reply?

Mama? Do you have $26.00 I can have?

Somehow.... I am KNOWING she did that one on purpose!

Thank God I'm Older.......

I know you "men" that read this blog will enjoy this admittance....... Women are catty lil beasts............. and I suppose I need to admit that today..... I am one of those "Catty lil beasts"...

I had previewed the Leps "Crossroads" show before it aired on CMT last night..... and I had already started my "rants" about Taylor Swift long before sitting down last night to watch the entire show.....

Half way through it... I realized it wasn't a jealousy / envy...... I was seriously embarrassed for my gender.... (yah that sounds ridiculous) but that IS how I felt..(and) feel........... I know she's *young* but the thing about her that I just couldn't stand was the "cocky" vibe she was putting off...... There was just absolutely NO humility to be seen coming from that "child".

She definitely needs to take a few lessons from her violin player... (The red head) she RAWKED the stage and did it with CLASS...... Not one time did I see her pretending to be a pole dancer and strutting like a peacock in heat.... simply put..... she ROCKED it.....

Moving along, :0) I think my "guys" did a great job...... Joe's voice sounds better than it has in YEARS..... and Vivi...... well Vivi is just Vivi :0)......

During the lil interviews I was reminded just how much I would love to meet Rick Allen, he has SUCH a soft soul...... I think out of all of the "guys" in the band he is probably the most "grounded" and has some very intriguing beliefs..... I think alot of *who* he is right now can be attributed to his accident and his beautiful wife Lauren (who I would love to meet also) ...

All in all...... I think it was a damn good show, and I came away from it feeling ALOT better than I did when they made the mistake of being on DWTS.... (I still turn red when I think about that one) ........

One of my favorite Lep songs ever............ Just something about this one.........

A New Day....

It's hard to believe that I find something more important than the fact today is election day and the country is probably about to go to hell with Obama as president....

But.... :Sigh: I've been traumatized so I feel the need to write about it.....

I went to Defleppard.Com tonight to see "what" was going on with the guys........ One of the first things I see is this blurb about the CrossRoads Show they did with Taylor Swift......

Ok I'll bite..... I click on the video and I swear to God I did NOT mean to say it but before I knew what was spewing from my mouth I said..... "I Hope that Bitch falls off the stage" Thankfully only ONE of my children (my oldest) was sitting in the room with me and she IMMEDIATELY gave me "the death stare" and said "MOTHER"...... I turned 15 shades of Red...... Apologized profusely and her next words were..... "Taylor Swift is 20 years younger than you and blonde, it's OK"

:::::::::::WAIT::::::: Did she really just go there?!?!?

If ya all want to watch the future stripper pole dance her way across the stage with my guys..... It's on this Friday at 9...... (CMT)

YES I'm flipping envious! :0) (Does it show) :::::coughflippingwhorecough:::::

Last Day........

Gonna make this as short as possible........ because we are getting ready to run out again.....

Heading home tomorrow and quite honestly I'm depressed...... I hate the thought of going back to Ohio....... I think my *soul* belongs here...... I found a house here that I *really* like..... it's been on the market for over a year, and I'm going to do some SERIOUS soul searching when I get home...... I've been *thinking* about changing occupations, and if I can complete a LPN degree within the next year and "come home" I am going to.......

I want my children to grow up in a place where they are close to their roots....... Although my town is a good little town..... being here I've realized I've managed to find (probably) the only place in Ohio that is "close" to WVA..... but it's just that..... an imitation.......

My heart aches knowing I have to leave here tomorrow...... I just don't want to.....

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Let it Snow..... Let it Snow..... Let it Snow.....

The kiddos and I woke up to S-N-O-W this morning..... I honestly couldn't believe it (although) common sense should tell me that it's close to November and I'm in the mountains...... Heeeeeeeellooooo.......... it's gonna snow..... :0)

We really haven't had any "hysterical" stories like we did last year...... (although going west instead of east) was a tad bit of a disaster :P

The kiddos and I are both enjoying our "pool" time.... I'm trying to teach Logan & Ty how to swim....... Logan is doing very well and quite literally has NO fear of anything :shrug:.......

I have to watch him VERY closely as one second he will be standing on the side of the pool and before I know it he's jumping IN the pool (with OR without me waiting to catch him)

Guess that's it for now......... We're leaving in a couple of hours to go have dinner with one of my Aunt and Uncle's (and cousins) Til then.......

~Peace

Vacation 2008

I've got a second to post this so thought I'd write about our adventures (thus far) .... I remember going back and reading the blogs after vacation was over last year and laughing my rear off sooooo I am going to do it for my own amusement........If ya don't want to read about the quirky, quacky, NUTSO acts skip the next week or so worth of blogs....

We went to Shanksville today...... and tonight we are in Maryland...... Shanksville is such a beautiful place...... (lots of farm land) and it was also a very sober reminder of how 911 touched ALL of our lives.... I've uploaded pics to my Myspace site and for those of you that don't have MS I'll work on getting them up to another photo share site soon......

No really *funny* stories to tell *yet* Other than Mom and I will freely admit that we are navagationally challenged (is that even a flipping word?) I really want to LIE here and say we did not have TWO.... (yeah count em TWO garmin's going) and STILL got lost...... (no comments please it was stressful enough) :)

Oh.... and WHY do I have time to sit here and post this blog right now? Instead of SWIMMING in the pool or relaxing in the hot tub?....... Well that WHY belongs to my little Logan bear who decided that he was going to test the waterproof factor of my luggage..... (It failed miserably) and I am now sitting in the hotel laundry room waiting for two loads of laundry to be finished.....

Let's hope that I managed to get the chocolate milk out........

Enough for today......... Tomorrow is a new day and we'll be exploring Maryland- Will write more but hopefully it won't be sitting next to a washer and dryer!!!!!!!!

~Peace

HAPPY Birthday Lil Bear!!!!!!!!!


Well, it's here...... Logan Bear is 4 today........ As it is with all of my children..... I'm really NOT sure where the time went.....


"Yogie" was a 1 Vessel Cord baby......((SUA)) ------ ( SUA is when the umbilical cord has only one artery instead of 2) ...............................add the emergency surgery I had to have while 7 months pregnant and I am one LUCKY and BLESSED "mommy" to have my Logan...... T


Those "pregnancy days" seem like yesterday..... I remember them VERY well....... and I also remember the first time I laid my eyes on my little guy.....


True to form logan came into this world screaming........... but the second I had him in my arms he quieted down and just looked at me...... I've always thought that somehow he was saying to me...... "See Mommy I told you I would be ok"......


He still gives me that look....... but now it's usually after he's pole vaulted off of the sofa onto his brother's back or flushed my keys down the toilet..... It always goes back to "THAT LOOK"........ He knows it melts my heart..... and he knows he can get away with just about anything by utilizing it......


He and I were out by the pond the other day watching a Herron, when the Herron had......... had enough of us invading it's space he/she spread those massive wings and took off......... Out of no where he turned to me and said... "Mama, Mama! Dat is ammmmmmazing"....... I couldn't help to think...... No baby doll...... U are.......


Happy Birthday my little love.....

25 Minutes and Counting.....

On your mark..... get set...... GO.........

I've got 25 minutes before my hair turns purple so I have to hurry and finish today's blog :P

I decided to do something I haven't done in over a year and *pamper* me today..... Got my hair cut.....and tonight I am coloring it...... (be afraid be VERY afraid) I basically threatened the beauticians life about taking any of the length off..... she layered it and "modernized" my look........ I LOVE .... LOVE... Love it...... Let's just say it's "punky" .........

When she's doing my hair I FLIP because I think I see a grey hair..... She says NO NO it's just a blonde hi-lite....

Uh huh like hell it is...... Sooooo I start thinking.....

Ya know.... New style.... New color..... let's do this.....

So I stop off and buy some "coloring" tonight on my way home..... Sneak it into the house because I KNOW it's gonna be an issue and when no one is looking...... I grab it... grab my laptop and here I sit..... (I think ya all should start laughing now.....somehow a grown woman should NOT have to "sneak" this kind of stuff)

Oh..... and the hair cut reaction was as follows: WHAT the HELL did you do to your hair......

My response was....... A simple smile..... and.............. well obviously your the ONLY one who doesn't like it as I've had 4 compliments from total strangers within a matter of 2 hours......

In other words..... Kiss my Arss..... :)

Tic Toc Tic Toc...... 11 minutes......

Ya know....... I think this whole thing is stemming from the fact that my "baby" (Logan) will be 4 tomorrow....... I don't know that I am accepting that very well...... WHERE did the time go.......

O well....... atleast I didn't go out and buy a red convertible like most folks suffering from a mid-life crisis do......

Time to *rinse* :0)

On another note.... I signed on to Yahooooooo yesterday and what's the damn headline I see? Well, I actually can't remember the "headline" just the picture of Joe and a blurb about him placing the Stanley Cup upside down.....

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.

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 and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anyt hing! 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.

Am I going to Jail?!?!?!

I was Alllllllllllllllllllllllllll set to go to bed...... I studied my eyes out tonight..... and was actually tired and thought "Ya know I really should check my email just one more time tonight".......

Soooooo I click over to AOL..... Sign on and what's the first message I see....

"AM I GOING TO JAIL" (from no one else but MY MOTHER!!!!!!!!!) I think it's a forward so I kind of roll my eyes and wonder what the heck she's sent me now.......

I open it...... and she's SERIOUS! LoL

I won't post what she said..... But I will say she basically RIPPED a certain congressman (Dennis Kucinich) apart in an email and sent it to him.....

I laughed....... and I laughed............ and then I laughed so hard that I almost choked......

And to answer your question..... NO Mom, I don't think you'll go to jail...... But I SO need to get you OFF of the damn computer before you do!!!!!!!

And for the love of all that is sacred PLEASE stop telling people that you dislike them so much that they "make your rear hurt"......

Simply say....... Mr. Kucinich Kiss My (ahem) insert profanity here!!!!!

Cripe..... She got Myspace last week and now she's e-mailing congressmen.... I thought it was MY job to give HER grey hair and not HER job to give ME grey hair!!!!

Keep it up young lady and your grounded!!!!

(And Yes I am STILL laughing over this)

~~O gawd~~....... I just had a HORRIBLE thought...... What if she learns how to blog!!!!!!!!

On that note.......... and in order to feel like I *am* doing my job...... I'm going to remind her that *I* will be driving her on her vacation in a few weeks and I hope she enjoys the 10 hours of THIS while on the road....

That'll teach her ;0)~

~Akon~ (No not AKRON)

A couple of weeks ago when Rob and Chrissy were in town I heard this song playing at the club we stopped at....... I usually HATE..... and I repeat HATE anything with "rap" in it..... The only exception to that rule is "Old School" schtuff..... (Heavy D, LL Cool J) Sorry I still have a lil of that 80's inner city girl in me.... :)

Anyway, this song came on and it was an INSTANT "Omg" I love it......... Which happens MAYBE 1x a year....... The last "new" stuff I can remember liking was "Welcome to the black parade" by My Chemical Romance...... (They sound like Queen I couldn't help it)

It took me 2 weeks but I finally FOUND the song on U-bloob tonight sooooo enjoy!

(Make sure your sitting because it is NOT typical "me" music & ya just might fall over from shock ) :P :P



Monday, September 29, 2008

Ok....... here ya go.......

I forgot to post this earlier and got a friendly "reminder" HEY email from Chrissy tonight...... sooooo here ya go! (So you guys don't think we are nuts) The story behind it is...... I was telling C and Rob when they came in about this INCREDIBLE kiddo named George Sampson that was on Brittains Got Talent..... I'd never seen someone so young have so much talent and charisma.... I just adore this kiddo!

Enjoy guys and I hope it makes ya smile! Rob? Are you seeing what I am seeing for a certain :ahem: Denim client we have? I would DIE if we could get this kiddo in those jeans and market them...... Watch the portion in the rain specifically... U will FLIP.....

This..... That....... & The Other......


It's been a crazy couple of weeks (again) but I finally have a day to sit back and catch up.....

My bosses from NY came in last week and as usual it was like a reunion with some of my best friends.... I hate calling them "my bosses" because they truly are more than that to me.... I actually love these guys and "gal". After "business" we all went to dinner and Rob and I officially made fools out of ourselves doing Karoke but had ALOT of fun doing it.... Chrissy remained sane the entire time, cept there was that 3 minute incident where I got her on the dance floor and she "rawked" out to Janet Jackson with me...... ::::evil grin:::: I am officially her "bad influence" ():0) <---note the halo......


I also wanted to say thank you to Jeffrey (who I know reads this blog even tho he denies doing so) Jeff..... U MADE MY YEAR...... thank you for the Jacket(s) I absolutely LOVE them..... They are BEYOND perfect and you my dear are the sweetest..... I hope you come in with Rob and Chrissy in November.... If ya do I promise to make you some of that fudge you love :P AND I promise not to corrumpt you as I have Chrissy :P

Speaking of corruption I am wondering why ***I*** am having to take the fall for being the "wild child" in this group when it was ROB who TRULY behaved like the devil! I think 75% of the female population in Cleveland now has his cell number......

On to family..... My Lil guy Logan got his stitches out on Friday.... He was a real trooper and his arm is healing quite nicely...... He's SUCH a good lil guy when he is by himself..... Truly a different child and just a sweetie....

Who is Jack Schitt?!?!?

Some emails I just can't resist....... Especially when they come from my Mom...... I know I've said this before but you would have to truly KNOW her to realize that she just does NOT use profanity (unless royally provoked) and probably is pictured next to the term "Lady" in Wiki......

Imagine my suprise when she forwarded this one to me! (PS Remind me to check her email list I think she's being corrupted!!!!!!)


For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt?

We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt!'

Well thanks to my friends generous geneology efforts, you can now respond in
an intellectual way.

Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer
magnate, married O. Schitt, the of Needeep N. Schitt, INC. They had one son,
Jack.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple
produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, and Bull
Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt.

Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high
school dropout.

After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced Noe Schitt later
married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids wer living with them, she wanted
to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt Sherlock.

Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a
rather nervous dispostion named Chicken Schitt.

Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were
inseperable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens
brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper
announced the Schitt-Happens nuptuals. The Schitt-Happens children were
Dawg, Byrd, and Horse.

Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently
returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

Now when someone says, 'You dont know Jack Schitt,' you can correct them.

The bet is simple.... If the Browns win tomorrow I NEVER have to get another survey from her AGAIN.... (NEVAH NEVAH) If they looooooooose I have to publish her last survey on my blog and answer all of the questions truthfully.....

It's that time again ~Hope~

Well guys last years "Hope" event went so well (and) I wanted to make this a yearly thing so here I am again..... Planning has actually been underway since January and I have accumulated over 18 LARGE boxes within 10 months..... For those of you who don't know what "Hope" is........ Well (long) story short it *should* be a non profit but I have not went that way yet.....I'm doing just fine with out it and I'm not in this for tax write off's or ANY other reason than to try to make some lives a little easier at Christmas Time and hopefully bring a smile or two to their faces while doing so...........

What we do is "accumulate" items that nursing home residents can USE (and) that will make their lives a little easier...... All items MUST be *new* or VERY gently used (see list) ..... around the end of November...... I start wrapping EVERYTHING and in honor of my grandmother we pass them out on 12/23 (the day she passed away in 1999)

My goal has been and will remain to pick out facilities that are inner city and where residents need the help / love the most.... and to provide EVERY ONE of the residents with a gift (or) gifts for Christmas Day...... Everyone seems to focus on children during Christmas and Sooooooo many have forgotten about a generation that has formed and created this country.... They literally are sitting alone in a 12x12 room everyday and LACKING what you and I take for granted (books, TV's Etc. etc) This is just WRONG and I am determined to CHANGE it...

Last year I sent this out via Email and received such a GREAT response that I decided this year I'll post it here (and) later send out an email in October...... I'm leaving 2 lists One list is what we have so far.... The other list is what we need......

~Peace~ (and) as I have said before... Remember..... One day you just may be in their shoes.....


~What we have so far for this year~

3-32 Inch Color TV's (Thank You to Connie!)
8- AM/FM Radio's
4- Tape Players
2- Clock Radio's
1- CD Player w/headphones
18- Women's Pajama Sets
7- Men's Pajama Sets
9- HUGE Boxes of Books!!!!!! (Thank you to Chrissy, Rob and Dave!!!!!)
4- Boxes of puzzles and Games!
1- Box of Pencils, Paper, Journals, Markers, Stationary, Etc.
4- HUGE boxes of Figurines and Picture frames

~What we NEED~ The items with the * beside them are nursing home requests that I have gathered from the TWO nursing homes that I plan on making deliveries to this year......(In Other words these items are things that the employees KNOW that one, two or a few of the residents *NEED* ~

BODIES!!!!!! As I did last year I will be hosting 2-3 "wrapping parties" I need folks to come over and sit with me and help wrap and categorize these items once wrapped... I'd like to get 2 groups of 10 folks this year as we have ALOT and with my work schedule 4th quarter I just can not do this alone.....

TAPE!!!!! Boy do I ever need tape! LOL I believe I have enough Wrapping Paper...IN January of this year I spoke with a Manager of the local "Marcs" here and told him about "Hope".... He (literally) gave me 150 ROLLS of paper for .10 cents a ROLL!!!!!!! So I am SET for this year..... (Thank You to him!!!!!) If you have extra wrapping paper please feel free to bring it..... The more the merrier!

ALWAYS More Pajama's and robes (Men's and Women's ALL sizes) .... I never can seem to have enough of these!

Slippers / House Shoes... MUST be "slip free" (ie) rubber souls or have some type of anti-slip bottom.

Blankets, Comforters (SOFT) (YES) the nursing home *DOES* supply blankets but how would you feel sleeping with a hospital blanket that smells like bleach all the time? I Loooooooooove giving the residents SOFT blankets that they can be comfortable with..... ALL blankets and comforters MUST be "Twin" size

TV's (Used, New, doesn't matter as long as they work) There are a total of 14 residents in 2 nursing homes that do NOT have a Television (or) radio .... They have NOTHING in their room and 5 of those residents are bed ridden.....My Goal is atleast TWO more Televisions so that I can provide TV's to the 5 that are bed ridden...

Pens, Pencils, Stationary, Crayons, Art Paper, Lined Paper, Folders (etc) We DO have a box so far but this is a HUGE demand with the residents... They enjoy these things immensly!

DVD Players (or) VHS players.... NO Hi Tech only EASY to use... Also looking for DVD's ..... I AM in the process of striking a deal with a local business that will be donating over 200 VHS tapes!

Brushes, Combs, Hair Clips, Wallets, Purses, and Fabric Roller Bags (These are the bags that residents can pull that have wheels on them) The nursing homes DO take "field trips" weekly and *some* of the residents that go are in need of these...

Compass* We only need one of these... SAD story behind this one but I will not post it publicly.... If your interested in knowing please email or IM me on AOL

Toiletries- Although the nursing home DOES supply basic toiletries let me ask you all a question..... If you've ever been in a hospital you KNOW what those types of toiletries are like..... I had one resident tell me last year that out of ALL of the gifts I gave him he liked the soap the best!!!!! He said he had not used REAL soap in EIGHT years..... (that's how long he had been there) These people are so thankful for BASICS that it's an eye opener and a GOOD reminder of how we ALL should BE!

Perfume- (should be in toiletries) but the ladies LOVE the perfume.... It doesn't matter what size (samples, bottles, sprays etc etc)

Candies, and SUGAR FREE Candies ....You would be SHOCKED at how much the residents love getting little packages of Candy and Cookies on top of their gifts... We have ALOT of Diabetics so we need ALOT of Sugar Free....

(On that note) I do have a bakery who has been BEYOND generous and decided to donate 40 dozen cookies.... I am however looking for someone to pick them up on 12/22 as I will be working 12 hours that day and won't be able to.....

Basically? Look around at the things you take for granted every day, imagine yourself confined to a 12x12 room and think of the things that YOU would want and miss the most...... That's what I like to provide to these gentle folks.....

In closing..... "Hope" was my grandmothers middle name this entire project is dedicated to *who* she was...... as she would give the coat off of her back to a total stranger...AND literally did twice.......

I want these residents to realize that there are people out there that still love and care about them..... After all for some of them... It may be there last Christmas.... So lets work together to make it a GOOD ONE!

Someone Remind Me.......

To call my doctor tomorrow and raise holy hades with him...... 3 A.M. and here I sit....... I want a 15 page explanation as to why Ambien is any more dangerous than me running on 3 hours of sleep every night while trying to raise 4 children, work, and do everything else that I do.....

When he prescribed Ambien for me it was the first time in my life that I actually looked forward going to bed because I knew I wouldn't lay there for HOURS staring at the ceiling..... I've been this way since I was 12 or 13...... My mind just does NOT stop and I literally can be on the cusp of sleeping and POOF an idea or "worry" pop in there and I'm awake for the next X amount of hours "planning".....

I think I will call him.... make an appt..... tease my hair into the largest rats nest you've ever seen and let him know that if he does not do something to help me I am going to start billing him for the Adrienne Arpel makeup I am going to be forced to buy to cover up the damn dark circles......

Hmmmmmmm



I really don't even know how to title this present blog..... I thought about "An Insult"....... and didn't like it because I feel it's much more than just an "Insult"..... Perhaps biggotry..... but.... again I feel it's even more than that.....

I am FAR from a "Fem-a-Nazi"...... I tend not to do well around "bra burners" and folks like NOW and NARAL..... They repulse me.... At the same time I guess (as a woman) I am begining to see the need for such organizations.....

John Roberts is an anchor for CNN news and recently made this comment about Sarah Palin....
"Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of vice president, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?”


And then right on his heels Sally Quinn, a columnist with The Washington Post, wrote in a recent online column that Palin needs to care for her special needs son, Trig, and her daughter, Bristol, not to mention her three other children, would
“inevitably be an enormous distraction for a new vice president (or president) in a time of global turmoil.”


Honestly? As a woman? I'm INSULTED..... HIGHLY Insulted over comments like that.... and believe me it takes a HELL of alot to "insult" me...... but that is REALLY pulling the trigger with me....

Women, although extremely catty in nature are incredible creatures.... We tend to be able to run circles around men with our multi-tasking abilities... We are the "organizers" the "planners" the ones who normally keep things together when they are falling apart.....

This is not meant to be insulting to men..... Because quite frankly men are incredible creatures also and they posess skills that we as women do not..... (I just can't seem to think of any off of the top of my head) :::::Adjusting Halo:::::: Ok I am KIDDING folks.....Men "know" they have abilities that women do not.....

With all of that being said I have decided that the latest attack wave on Sarah Palin has been started by the maids on the White House Staff...... Think I'm crazy? Well here's my theory......

For YEARS these folks have probably NEVER had to clean a toilet seat in the oval office... It's been left sitting up....... because the only one that uses it is a man and we all know how good they are about putting those seats down...... Now that the staff has found out that there is a good chance of a woman being in the white house they are revolting simply because they don't want to clean the toilet seat..... (True Story..... You'll see it on CNN in a day or two) And we ALL know that what we see on CNN and the Washington Post should be trusted eh? :0)


I suppose I view those that think Sarah Palin can't pull this off because she is a wife, and a mother just as ridiculous as my theory above....

Listen up liberals....... If Sarah would have been in the White House 7 years ago...... I truly believe that we would still NOT be chasing Bin Laden around..... She would have got on a plane and hunted the man down herself..... While you sat in your comfy anchor chair and reported about lint counts in toilet paper...

While writing this.... I've made another personal discovery..... I blog about toilets entirely too much..... :0)

~Peace

Palin..... The RIGHT choice....

I am just so FED up with liberals right now that I am having a hard time focusing on anything else but bashing the crap out of the hypocrites..... (thus this blog).. If I had a dollar for every time I heard a liberal tell me how the republicans are taking away our personal freedoms, inserting camera's into bedrooms and that the republicans need to mind their own business........ Well I'd be a rich woman....

Enter Sarah Palin and her un-wed teenage pregnant daughter..... I suppose since the lib's couldn't dig up any hard core dirt on the woman they had to drag a 17 year old girl into the picture and expose her.....

The only thing this has done is piss me off further at liberal tactics and mindless rants........ I won't say that Palin's daughter is a "child"...... She IS a young adult... and as you damn liberals like to preach she has made "her choice". Yet you hypocrites are now criticizing her?

Add to the fact that Cecile Richards (Planned Parenthoods President) has joined forces yet again with her bra burning buddies at NARAL and NOW and is running her mouth faster than someone running to the bathroom after eating cabbage (great analogy if you ask me) :)

Sooooo let's take a look at what this particular hypocrite is spouting.....

“Right now there is so much shameless rhetoric from the Republicans about breaking the glass ceiling, especially from McCain and his running mate. What good does it do to break a glass ceiling with a woman who wants government to control women's reproductive health,”


Shameless Rhetoric? Dragging a 17 year old into this mess is not shameless? Rhetoric? Does this "woman" even KNOW what that word means? I'll tell you what "good" it does...... We for the first time in history have a GOOD chance of a WOMAN being in the oval office...... Sure we've had women run before but they have NOT had the chance Sarah Palin does...... She's simply pissed because Sarah Palin is NOT a robot for Planned Parenthood and walks what she talks.....

Now let's add another quote from this Cecile drone

“I'm still having trouble expressing the depth of my anger about McCain's choice of a running mate,” she said. “This shameless pandering to women — with a woman who doesn't trust other women to make their own decisions about childbearing — has really got me going.”


When I read that I actually had to read it twice because I could NOT believe that she went there...... (again a statement that is beyond hypocritical)

IF I had the chance to say anything to her it would be ........ Cecile..... although you may be having trouble expressing the depth of your anger about McCain's choice..... I am NOT having any difficulty whatsoever in expressing MY anger towards your statements..... The only shameless pandering of women that is going on is the fact that you do not trust other women to be smart enough to make their own VOTING decisions... (or) for that matter their own reproductive decisions....

Allow me to explain my hatred for Planned Parenthood and their goons.......17 years ago I visited a planned parenthood facility...... Hubby and I had been married for a year and I really did not know alot about planned parenthood.....other than they offered free pregnancy tests..... I *thought* I was pregnant and decided that I would go in and take a pregnancy test.... I took the test and was ushered to a small "counseling office"...... a few minutes in a lady came in and threw some files down on the desk and said "Missy I have the results your pregnant" I immediately started to cry because I was so HAPPY...... She immediately took that as a BAD sign and without missing a beat started explaining my "options"..... I was HORRIFIED...... I stopped her mid way through and told her that I was HAPPY and that I WANTED this child more than anything else in the world.... Guys, I shit you not she CRINGED...... it was if it disgusted her to see someone stating that they wanted their baby.....

Since that day I have despised...... no...... HATED planned parenthood.....In my opinion they do NOT trust women to make their own decisions..... they PUSH for what *they* want...... (I'd bet that counselor would really piss herself is she knew I had 4 children now)

I'm not going to argue the pro-life / pro-choice crap in this blog (today anyway) I will say tho that perhaps you whining liberals could take a day off of preforming abortions and work on some other rights that are being taken away..... Such as my right to smoke in the stadiums that MY damn tax dollars built.....

If I have to be exposed to the liberal second hand bullshit that is being blown then you wankers can surely put up with my cigarette smoke...

My Wish.......


So after months and thousands of pictures taken I finally got to snap a "good" picture of the boys.... For some strange reason they both are drawn to pick their nose, stick their tongue out, or jump as soon as I say..... "Say Cheese"......

Although most nights end with taking a Tylenol and sometimes even feeling overwhelmed..... I had a HUGE reminder today to enjoy every second with my children.... There's just nothing more important to me in this life other than my family.....

Have a good week all...... ~ Peace ~

Ohhhhhhh My GAWD.....

I wanna start this blog off by saying THANK GOD my Sherriffs Dept. has a GOOD sense of humor....... I was on my way back home from a show today and I turned off the "main" highway to a side road to get to my house, glanced over and saw this "woman" driving her lawn tractor.... I did a double take because I didn't see a "shirt" and there it was....... NO TOP, NO BRA..... NOTHING (except for a pair of red shorts..... I literally almost wrecked my SUV.... I went into hysterics (literally CRYING from laughing so hard) hit the speed dial # for one of my best friends (who happens to be one of my neighbors and I managed to get out the following sentence before I literally hyperventilated from laughing so hard........

WHERE THE HEEEEEEEELL ARE YOU THERE'S A NAKID WOMAN ON XXXXX ROAD!!!!!!

Finally we both managed to stop laughing for a minute and she said Mis you better call the sherriff she might be drunk and that's a main road there's alot of kids that are going to see that..... "Ok" I'll call.....

Sooooooo I call them and I started the conversation out with....."I really don't even know how to begin this conversation" The lady that answered was an absolute sweetheart and said "Well just tell me"....... So I did the best I could composing myself and said.... "I'd like to report a woman mowing her lawn partially nude"......

"Is this a joke" <-- her reply...

Which sent me even further into hysterics..... But again garbled out O NO NO NO I swear to God Here's my name, address and phone number you can call me back to verify ALL of the information......(She did) I think she thought I was inhebriated or a "kid" playing a prank...... But still she remained ABSOLUTELY 100% pleasant...and even began to joke around with me while taking the report.....

I hung up with her...... came in the house and called my mom to tell her that I had decided to move back into the city because the folks out here were just as crazy..... (Mom went into hysterics also when I told her)

About 30 minutes goes by and I get a phone call that shows up as "private" I answer and it's the lady from the sherriff's office...... The following is "close" to what the conversation was.... I was laughing so hard by her 2nd sentence that I can't guarantee 100% accuracy.....

"Hello is this Missy"

Yes it is.... Who is this?

This is XXXXXXXX from XXXXXXX County Sherriffs office..... I just wanted to let you know that the woman is a MAN....

Me- WHAT!?!?! (Uncontrollable laughter)

By that time she was laughing as hard as I WAS!!!!!! So we both finally got it under control and I apologized profusely and she said NO NO it's ok the officer that was dispatched to the location came to the same conclusion you did until he verified her (excuse me) HIS identity...

Well, I have this HUGE problem with sometimes just BLURTING out what I am thinking before THINKING about what I am saying and before I knew what was coming off of my lips I said...... How did he check "HIS" identity did he pull his shorts off?

Weeeeeeeeeell that sent her OVER the roof she was HOWLING..... (God I hope they don't tape those conversations that will be the biggest flippin blooper of the year)

We finally hung up after laughing and chatting just a few more seconds and then it occured to me.....

O GAWD I probably just TOTALLY squashed this "lawnmower man / person's feelings and it was NOT intentional..... Guys I swear to you...... I in 1000000 MILLION years would have NEVER EVER........ NEVER even GUESSED that this was a guy.....

HOLY MOTHER OF JOHN DEER!!!!!!!!!

Although I feel bad...... I just can NOT stop laughing......

Laughter......

I'm not gonna say "why" I am posting this but I'll just say some folks need to laugh more.... It's good for the soul...... I knew George (the gentleman singing in the youtube video below) for 20+ years...... One of the nicest men on this earth..... He passed away in 05.....

He taught me a great lesson..... LAUGH..... Scroll through the video til about the 40 second mark..... and then watch and listen.... I've sung this song to my kiddos a hundred + times...... They can be in the FOULEST mood on this earth and I get to the 3rd word in the song and they are laughing hysterically..... It's simply GOOD for the soul.....

Crazy? Eh maybe but laughter is good for the soul.....

Thank's for the lesson George..... I miss you~

Say Thank You!!!!!!


One of the "perks" of doing the shows I've been doing on the wknd is that I get to meet some pretty interesting people...... One of the ladies I met this past wknd was simply incredible and I wanted to share her story with you guys.... She's been a "military" wife for close to 37 years.... Her husband did 2 tours of Vietnam and he's retiring in 3 years, she shared stories with me that would bring the strongest man you can think of to tears......Not ONCE missing a beat or shedding a tear....

By the time our conversation was over I realized that I just became a better person for having the priviledge of talking to her.... and as she was walking away I said something that I *thought* should be a common courtesy and that we ALL should be saying to our Military families.... a simple "Thank You & please tell your husband that I said Thank you for protecting and serving my family".....

She stopped dead in her tracks..... turned around to me and began to cry & gave me a hug..... Which in turn.... turned me into a blubbering baby.... Here this total stranger who I had never met before that day, spent maybe 20 minutes with talking to.......was now hugging me and telling me "thank you" for appreciating their sacrifices..... I was beyond "honored" and still am to make her aquaintance..... and I'm also a little angry that more folks don't appreciate our Vets and Military.....

I really don't give two flying flips of a damn what you think of this War, Bush or Oil.... But I DO immensly care how we as a society do not appreciate and honor those that sacrifice so deeply for us..

The next time you see a vet or someone in the service, walk up to them and THANK them it takes 30 seconds of your time and it will forever leave an impression on their heart as well as yours......

(May God help me) :P To start things off I now have a new "toy" I bought a "cute" lil utility trailer this week for my "shows" and it will come in handy for vacations.... Although I just may end up selling it! LoL I've had someone offer a substantial amount over what I paid for it and I'm seriously thinking about taking the $ and running...... It's an 06 Trailex (Cleveland Browns Special Edition) I should dump the sucker before the Browns end up making a total fool of themselves (yet again) this season.... :sigh:

Next order of business...... and the most important... I just didn't want to start the blog out on a depressing note..... Yesterday was the 5 month anniversary date of my cousin Anna's death...... It was a *tough* day and with school starting up again I've thought about her alot lately.... (She would have been a senior this year) Anna..... Thank you for giving us 17 years of you..... The world was a better place while you were here and your family misses you..... "I'll see you on the other side kiddo"..... And thank you to the friends who have posted this YouTube Video of Anna, Shasta, Hannah, and Lynzie.....

I so love these Obama Calls


Anyone else getting 900 calls a day from Obama's camp begging for votes? I'm just beyond sick of it..... They've managed to hit my Mother In-law, and Mother and now me within 2 days..... MIL hung up on them..... Mom (well I won't tell you what mom said but the lady on the other end replied to her with "You know what I am not going to listen" and then hung up on her..... (Hey the apple didn't fall to far from the tree) LOL

Which brings me to today's "interesting call"......I didn't get angry, but boy did I have fun with them.....This poor guy went through his script and I listened and then he says "Can I count on your support"....

My reply was Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, what kind of cigarettes does Obama smoke? The poor man had no clue and it through him totally off guard....

I-I don't know maam!

Me: I'm not a "maam" I'm a "sir"

Oh Ummm I'm Uhhh

Me: It's the hormone replacement pills the doc gave me I'm having a trans-gender surgery

Oh well, ummm congratulations.... Ummm Can I count on your support?

Me: Does Obama have any high heels?

I'm sorry what?

Me: Does Obama have any high heels? Ya know I've seen his wife's shoes and I am just not impressed.

I-I don't know maam can I count on .....

Me: NO you can not count on my support, how can I vote for a man you know nothing about?

Maam, I mean Sir what would you like to know?

Me: I'd like to know what kind of cigarettes Obama smokes and if he has high heels in his wardrobe.

Sir I don't think those are appropriate questions

Me: What? This is the United States of America, Is this how your candidate will answer tough questions? Will he oppress the people and tell them he refuses to answer simply because he deems the questions inappropriate?

:::::::Click:::::::

God I hope they took my number off their list :0)

OH and FOR THE RECORD...... I am NOT having a trans-gender surgery... Somehow I think Rob and Carl are just going to have a little bit to MUCH fun with that......

Chloey(isms) Part 2


I have this problem...... The problem is simple....My youngest daughter who is in the "bodily" form of a 7 year old has the mentality of a 20(something) year old...... This constantly creates debates within our home and recently the debates have turned bilingual (Damn Rosetta Stone to Hades and back)....

I purchased the Rosetta program for the kiddos because I feel in today's society you absolutely NEED a one up on competitors.... and you can never start to early..... My ONLY mistake was not following the program myself....

Me- "Chloey, it's time to go clean the playroom, your dolls are all over the place again"....

Chloey- Replies back in Spanish....

Me- I HAVE NO CLUE what this 4 foot wonder just said to me but I know it's not good as my oldest daughter gasps and proceeds to ask me why I am letting her get away with talking to me like that.....

Why Why Why did I sleep in Spanish class........ I guess it's time to start ME on the Rosetta program so I can keep up with these munchkins.....

*Snip* *Snip*



"See, Barack been ummm talking down to black people on his faith based. I wanna cut his nuts off"

How precious is that? Good Ole "Rev." Jackson is now in the business of neutering.... (Bob Barker would be soooooo proud)

Gawd forbid that I even THINK about defending Obama, (and) that's not what this post is about..... I simply can't believe that Jesse Jackson has not super glued his mouth shut yet!

Now, in his defense (note the sarcasm) Mr. Jackson has issued a statement and a half assed errrr apology....(My comments in Red)

"For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused"

Translation: That da*n Fox news, Son of a B*tch they caught me...

"I apologize."

Translation: I'm only doing this because I have to, what would Imus think?

My support for Senator Obama's campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal.

Translation: Why didn't they pick Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.

Translation: I'm pissed I got caught

Seriously tho..... WHY does this man think that him saying he wants to cut someones :ahem: "nuts" off equates to a "historical" moment....

Better yet why are *we* as a nation giving this man air time on national television......

Logic.....


I was emailing a friend today over a problem involving "lack of communication" I was typing away and all of a sudden it hit me.... My gawd that's GOOD.....


The sentence was.....


You can't put your head in the sand when you have bombs going off around you and not expect your ass to get hit a few times....


Anyone know where I picked this one up?!?!?!?! I'm *thinking* it was probably something my mom or grammy has said (as it sounds like both of them)


Wait.......... Does this mean IF it was an original thought that I've turned into my Mom and Grammy? But then again is ANYTHING (really) an original thought? hmmm something to "think" about........


:Sigh:


Totally Un-related to the rant above...... I read today where a Cleveland Ohio girl died after receiving a round of the "new" cervical cancer immunizations...... Ofcourse the makers of the vaccine have gone into "It's NOT our fault" mode.... I just wonder if they have seen these articles....






Now if you really want to get pissed off...... Take a look at this one......
