No Time

So I was all ready to write about something today when I got carried away with talking to my dear sister online who has been gone away to Wisconsin for the last...oh....6 months or so. OK so that's exhagerating a little bit but it sure does seem like that long! We ended up chatting for awhile and now it is time for me to go and get ready for work. I told Holly that I would send her some reading material, so she'll just have to read what's up here for now. Hi Holly! (jumping up and down waving my hand to Holly!) Hopefully I will have time to write tomorrow along with some pictures. I just learned how to add photos to this blog so I'll have some fun with that! Y'all have a great day and try and keep cool! Leave me a message if you will. It's good to see a comment or two left behind!

Absolutely Fabulous

Has anyone ever seen this British Comedy show "Absolutely Fabulous? It is so friggin funny! You have two very eccentric women who are best friends who smoke cigarettes, do cocaine, smoke an occasional doobie and drink Champagne all day long. Neither one of them know how to do anything for themselves. Edina, is one of them who has a very normal daughter (the ONLY normal person in the bunch!)named Saffy. Edina doesn't like Saffy at all and neither does her best friend Patsy. Actually Patsy despises her. Saffy totally disgusts Patsy and Patsy isn't afraid to let anyone know it either. This is just a brief description of the characters in the show. If you have never seen it before you should watch it. It takes a little bit to get used to. You really have to watch an episode or two before you get to understand who and what the characters are all about. My brother Craig turned me on to this show a few years back. I went by his house one day and he called me in the living room and told me that I have to watch this show. I watched it and thought that it was kind of stupid all the while he was just laughing his ass off. Well this went on for a few days and the next thing you knew I was hooked! A couple times of watching it, Scott and the kids were hooked too! Well, to make a long story short, we cancelled our cable and no longer was able watch it. I had thought about the show a few times in the past and even got lucky and caught a couple episodes when I went by Lorries house one night. Well, I went to Best Buy this past weekend and seen that they had a 2 disc DVD of "Absolutely Fabulous", the Complete Series 5 and so I splurged and bought it. Again, it took a little bit to get used to but love it! It's like meeting up with old friends again that I haven't seen in ages! I missed this show so much and so now I am on the hunt to get the other 4 completes series. They also have new ones coming out on September 13th. I can't wait! I would like to one day own all of them. Just like all the "friends" series. These are two shows that have been my favorites for so long. So if anyone comes across these anywhere for a good price, think of me and pick them up. It'll make me a happy camper.

Retail Therapy

As you can see I am back up and running. (Bet nobody even noticed I was gone at all. Sniff sniff)
Any hoot... I was feeling a little down and out last week and so I took myself on a "little" shopping spree. After all, I needed to pick up some things for my trip in a couple of weeks and pick up a birthday present for Nichole. So while Scott was at work I took a trip to the mall. Now everyone knows how I hate the mall, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I was walking around Dillards and picked up the pair of Rainbow sandals that Nicki had been wanting. While there, I found a pair of cute black shoes that I had seen a couple months ago and regretted not buying and so I bought those too. Well, the purse department was right next to the shoes department and so I mosied on over there and found they had a good sale going on. Well, I can't pass up a good sale! So I found me a leather pocketbook I liked. Bought that too. What good is new shoes and a new pocketbook without something new to wear it with right? So upstairs I go to the womans clothing department. I head right to the clearance and low and behold I find a pair of Capri's and 3 tops that were priced just right for me and so I bought those too. I thought I'd better get ouit of this store because I am spending waaaay to much money in here and so I head on down to another department store. What is that I see? A sale? I better go and check it out. It's safe to look because I never find nothing I like in this store anyway. Wrong. Found a couple more tops that were just to good a price to pass up. And plus they went well with the Capri's, shoes and purse I just bought so what the hell, I bought those too. I thought I'd better head on home because I didn't want to get stuck in the rush hour traffic so I start heading back and naturally I had to stop at Lane Bryant while passing it on my way out. There I buy 3 more tops, well one was for work so I NEEDED that one, so that doesn't count. OK here I go. If I don't leave now I'm going to get stuck in traffic. Wait.....theres INK bookstore. Let me just see if they have the new issue of scrapbook magazines in yet. Yes they do! Yippee! Which to choose from......I hate making decisions! Can't think... Can't think.....screw it......take them all. NOW I am finally headed for the car to get home and what happens? There's traffic up the ass. That's ok though because my feet are tired from all the walking I done. Once home I show hubby all my purchases! He just smiles and see's how happy I am and doesn't say a word. Bless his heart. He's the best! Well, I'm still not done spending money and so I ask Scott, "Honey do you want to take a ride to Best Buy with me? I want to look at computers." Sure. He'll come with me. So off we go. Well, needless to say we didn't just "look". We ended up buying a whole new computer, some software, batteries and battery charger, more memory for my camera and a couple other things we needed. Buy the time we got home I was completely exhausted! My feet hurt so bad, I was tired, thirsty, hungry and had a headache from hell! But you know what? I FELT GOOD! That is just what I needed!

I suddenly LOVE tomatoes!

Who needs a husband when we have TOMATOES! Yes, this is a real tomatoe on a tomatoe plant. One of the "peas" on the message board posted this and it got me thinking.....I need to plant some tomatoes. I never really got into gardening before but I think it's time for me to start. I suddenly have this urge to go out in the backyard and dig it all up and plant nothing but tomatoe plants. Can you imagine it? Going out on my back deck and seeing all these beautiful tomatoes out there. Growing and getting larger by the day! I'm getting sooo excited just thinking about it! I can imagine Scott coming home and wondering why nothing is done around the house. Honey? Why does the house look look like it hasn't been cleaned in a month? Because I been tending to the tomatoes. Honey? Why have we eaten dinner in such a long time? Because I been tending to the tomatoes. Honey? Why don't we have sex anymore? Because I been tending to the tomatoes. Honey? Why are there tomatoes on your nightstand? Uhh...........

I hope you all miss me.

Just a note to let everyone that reads this stupid blog of mine know, that I will no longer be writing. My computer kicked the bucket. I cannot log in to this site unless I am at work and I just don't have the time while I'm at work to write. Soooooooo.....until further notice, I am outta here. I will let everyone know when I start back up again. All you have to do is let me know that you want to know. Sign my guestbook and I will let you know as soon as I am up and running again.
I'm really gonna miss writing in here. Hopefully it won't be too long before I will be back.

If anyone is wondering....which I doubt they are.....

If anyone is wondering why I haven't written anything lately, which I doubt anyone even cares.....is that my puter is fucked up. Yup. It sure is. I can't access any web sites for some unknown reason. I don't know what the hell I did, or if I did anything at all, but the sumbitch won't let me do anything I want to do. I keep getting a "page unavailable....web site may be temporarily down....blah blah blah." Bullshit. You mean to tell me that every single web site I go to is temporarily down? I mean come on! If you don't like me coming to you're site any more, or if I just stink and need to take a shower or sumfin, at least say it to my face! Damn! I mean really....I KNOW it isn't my puter. I take care of that baby. I deferag it every couple days, delete all my temp files and cookies, stay away from opening unknown e-mails from peeps I don't know and all that other stuff that you are supposed to do to your computer. Yeah right. I tried to deferag it a while ago. It was going for almost 3 days and the damn thing wasn't even at 1%! No shit! Needless to say I just said blow it and let it go. So if anyone out there is reading this and knows anything at all about puters and would like to give me some advice....feel free to do so. Really. I won't mind one bit. I need my puter. I miss my puter. I love my puter. It's pretty much my "lifeline" you could say. It's what keeps me connected to the people I love!
If you're wondering how I am writing this right now, I'll tell you. I'm at work. And now I have to go. The press is calling me.

My already planned retirement!

I have decided that when I retire this is what I am going to do. There will be no nursing home in my future....
When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a Carnival Cruise Ship. The average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day. I have checked on reservations at Carnival and I can get a long term discount and senior discount price of $135 per day. That leaves $65 a day for :

1. Gratuities which will only be $10 per day.

2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the restaurant, or I can have room service (which means breakfast in bed every day of the week).

3. Carnival ships have as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, free washers and dryers, and shows every night.

4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo.

5. They will even treat me like a customer, not a patient. An extra $5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help me and make me happy.

6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.

7. TV broken? Light bulb need changing? Need to have the mattress replaced? No Problem! They will fix everything and apologize for my inconvenience.

8. Clean sheets and towels every day, and I won't even have to ask for them.

9. If I fall in the nursing home and break a hip I am on Medicare. If I fall and break a hip on the Carnival ship they will upgrade me to a suite for the rest of my life.

Now this is the best part! Do I want to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Asia? Just name a place where I want to go! Carnival will have a ship ready for me! So don't look for me in a nursing home, just call shore to ship!

P.S. And don't forget, when I die, they'll just dump me over the side at no charge!

8 Stupid Things I Done As a Kid

Here is a list of some of the stupid things I have done as a kid. I wanted to post 12 of them, but seeing as I was such a good kid and hardly ever got in trouble, I had to shorten my list to 8. So, here we go......the stupid things I have done:

1. Dropped out of highschool in the 10th. Grade.
2. Stole the teachers language book with all the answers in it just because I liked the way it looked. I wanted to take it home with me to play school with but the teacher found me with it before I could.
3. Ran away from home with Mike Maz and he changed his mind and ditched me at someone's house.
4. My friends and I used to sit on her front porch in summer time and drink hot Maddog 20/20 to get drunk. (It turns my stomach now just thinking about it!)
5. Snuck out of the house at night so I could drive in the cemetery.
6. Took Lorries station wagon for a ride around the block when I didn't have my license and I got pulled over by a cop and got a speeding ticket.
7. Sold my white bedroom set that mom bought me because I simply needed some money.
8. Boozed school and stayed either in the basement or the attic at the entire day.
