Thirsty Thursday

Yes I have spent the last 15 1/2 years with this man and I have no idea what possessed him to allow someone to take this picture of him. Those are my Aunt Sue's glasses and I'm pretty sure he is about to make out with that beer. Another day in my life!

Too Much

This itty bitty post may be offensive to some of you, for that I am sorry, but I found this really funny.

This is a bottle opener and wine corkscrew.

My dear friends the Madziars are the proud owners of this gem.

These are lovely underwear that I found at a Lane Bryant store. Two things about this...No I did not buy them and yes I looked like a total nutcase taking a picture of this mannequin but they made me laugh so hard I couldn't resist. Next time you see a full figured gal walking down the road just know that she may have these panties on!!

Wordless Wednesday

Freakin Friday

The only good thing about today is I FOUND OUT I'M GOING TO CA!!

"I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again"

Not entirely true. I'm going in July, for 4 1/2 days.

I'm staying with the coolest people ever!

Ha this picture makes me laugh.

That's my Uncle Gary and Aunt Colleen. They live in Hermosa Beach, CA.

This is one of the pictures I found when I googled Hermosa Beach.

Since staying with my mother is Scutsonville Florida I'm a little leary of people telling me they live by the ocean and it's within walking distance. If you haven't heard that story you may want to check out the Fl trip of Feb. (moms got a great house but far from beach front girls weekend getaway).

So I have high hopes for this trip. My cousin Misty and I are going...and we've been talking about going for about 4 years so it's been a long time coming. Everyone who has visited talks about how beautiful it is and how much fun they've had.

Poor Gary and Colleen, they have a lot of hype to live up to.

It won't take much to impress me, I think it's cool we're flying in to LAX!

A much better picture of my cool family. From the right starting with Gary in the white shirt and going around the table....

My Uncle Gary, Me, cousin Drew, sis in law Allison, bro Josh, cousin Sylvia, Aunt Colleen, Aunt Barb, and hubby.

Random Thoughts

I think I'm supposed to do some sort of linky thing to do Random thoughts but this is my first time so I think I'll try it out first and decide if I want to participate.



I'm the dishwasher unloader. I never asked for this job I'm just the one that does it the most often. So I was a little irked the last (first) time he did it and complained about how I loaded it. Apparently I didn't put the bowls in the right way. My first thought..when you do the unloading you can complain about the loading, my second thought...well lets just say I kept all my thoughts to myself and I'm sure that I continue to load incorrectly and I'm ok with that.

I'm the boss right? So I shouldn't feel bad about telling someone they're doing something wrong and correct them, right? And I shouldn't care if they think I'm being "bitchy" cause I don't think sitting in the same chair all day long is ok, right?

Why is it when I have time to sit down and watch the season finale of Gossip Girl it isn't on fox.com yet?

I've read several things lately about custody issues. I believe we are getting to the day and age when it isn't just assumed that the mom is the "best" place for the kids. One of those reasons why I never became a judge (yes a judge lol). I wouldn't want to be the one that makes those decisions. What if you're wrong?

Thats all I got folks. This was supposed to be a Random Tuesday but too bad its now Wednesday, deal with it.

My Soccer Star!

Sarah seems to catching on to the fact that soccer actually has rules, and positions, and strategies. She's a fast runner too. She still hasn't quite got the hang of working with a team mate and she seems to back off when the group huddles around the ball and everyone starts kicking (really who could blame her). Luckily she has a good coach this year who is actually teaching them about the game. This may be her "thing" since dancing doesn't seem to be.

Once again she seems to be one of the tallest kids on the field. She's the tallest in dance class too.

Her favorite part of the game might be sitting on the sidelines drinking water but hey every girl needs a break now and then.

I've been told they grow into their front teeth, lol

My soccer star!

Ok so this might be her favorite time of the game. Enjoying Ms. Mesha's lap and catching up on some reading. (yes this was while the game was going on)

Family Fun Night 2010

Pony rides, rock wall climbing, sno cones, air brush tattos, a bag full of cheap carnival toys and candy, a obstacle course, corn dogs, nachos, a dj playing Justin Bieber, and cool spring weather.

He didn't quite make it to the top but he sure tried. I really didn't want to go, but we had fun. Well the kids had fun and I enjoyed watching them.

Poor Mason

Mason's preparing for his big move out to the toddler room. I'm not sure how thats gonna go.

When he visits, he keeps getting stuck on the climber.

And he's so dang cute when it happens that we just have to run and get our cameras.
Sorry about the pictures not being very good but I didn't know this was a Mason picture taking day so they were with my cell.

Eventually Mrs. Mesha did have to save him!

Hair

Some of Battle Creek's finest!

Lady to the left, sporting a purple sequin jacket and blonde/brownish mullet

lady to the right wearing a lovely handmade balloon crown

And I thought Jacob's hair was too long, yes this is a male child....not only too long but stringy and greasy as well.
This may be that child's father. His hair was to the middle of his back, but bald from front to back.

And I always love the totally bald with the sunglasses stuck on top of the head.
Skinhead.

Yes I know, not a very nice post but I have to wonder what people are thinking. Then I begin to wonder is there someone out there taking a picture of my hair. Maybe to puffy or surely way too gray. What about your upbringing makes you wear your hair the way you do. Recently someone came into my life that has truely awful hair. I KNOW she has no idea. I KNOW she thinks its beautiful. And maybe I'm wrong maybe others love it too. I'm pretty sure she could hide things in her hair....maybe she does. Maybe thats why she does it. Next time I'm around her I might pretend like I need a pen desperately and can't find one, maybe she'll say "hey wait a minute, I have one right here" and pull one out.
I'll let you know what happens.

Scrappy Chicks

Another scrap book weekend has come and gone. What a great time! I'm still bummed that we didn't go for longer. Due to job and money constraints we only went for one night this year but two full days.

I only finished 14 pages and I'm sad about that.

I almost had to fight a woman for our lunch table which is UNBELIEVABLE but I restrained and I think she could see I was serious cause she backed off. People are crazy at these things. It's as if they have never seen brads on sale for $1 or paper in that shade of red.

I go for the time to scrapbook and the time with my bffs but man people watching sure is fun too.

April and I at the convention, shopping!

Kelli's first time
I hope that it was all that she thought it would be.

Our room was awesome. I found a really good deal that I was a little leary about but when we got there we realized it was a great deal. Other than the possible murder in the room next door (jk) and the iffy elevator, it was amazing.

Kesha
It was fun to take Mesha and Kelli for their first time. I wonder if they'll go next year.

True Friends

Everybody should have those friends in life that are always gonna be there.

I can go years, yes this time it was approx 2 years since Ive seen them...years without being with them and when I see them..nothing has changed between us. Yes babies are born, houses are bought/remodeled, husbands get balder and fatter, other friends are made but between us NOTHING changes. These 3 girls are the girls that I KNOW that no matter what they are always there. Spending the day with them on Saturday was so refreshing. I miss them so much. We've promised that we wouldn't let this time go by again, but I think thats what we said last time. I intend to call more, to stop over when we're in Bay City and to go see that new little bambino that Michelle is going to have. Most importantly I'm not gonna let another summer go by without our camping trip.
