There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me.
What in the world do leaping lords, French hens,
swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out
of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?
This week, I found out.
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were
not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone
during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics.
It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning
plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each
element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality
which the children could remember.
-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.
-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.
-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.
So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish.'
Merry (Twelve Days of) Christmas Everyone

Facebook Junky!
I am a Facebook junky. I may need an intervention. A twelve step program. Detox. I LOVE IT!!! Thank you dear sister, Abe, Dammit Janice!, Miss Carrie and all my other friends that have turned me on to such glorious wonders as "Food Fling" and "Mafia Wars", and "Scavenger Hunt". What would I do without you all day?

Nuthin spooky today, kiddies. It'ull be ok.
This post is not about haunting's or scariness. Surprise!! This is just letting you know about my fav-o-rite music to listen to while I'm at work. And it's free!! I love that!
You can find the link between Pennywise the Clown and Friday the 13th's, Jason. Totally appropriate placement. It's the oooy gooy middle of a horror love sandwich.
I always go for the 80's, but they have different options for you to chose from.
But why would you wanna do that?
Class of '86 rules!!

Scare your pants off......at home preferably.
So my Ghoul-friends, With Halloween just around the corner, I've been watchin lots of horror programing on my beloved television. It's a month long of delicious, scary shows to waste my time away! Here is a rundown of some of the horror-fest I've been spying.
IFC has been showing lots of cheesy, early 80's horror movies in the wee hours of the morning. Thank goodness we have a DVR!
Sci-Fi channel has the 31 days of Halloween. That means the whole month is dedicated to the dark holiday! My fav-o-rite show is Ghost Hunters. On Halloween they "go live" to hunt 'em some ghosties! Last year they went to the Stanley Hotel. To be honest with you, I watch it every week. I have a sickness.
The Travel Channel is awesome. They are showing a steady stream of haunted destinations and scariest places on earth. On Friday they are starting on new show called "Ghost Adventures". I have the original recorded and I have one word for you you, FREAKY!!!
Fox Family and Disney have some cute, family friendly, mildly scary programs on. Goosebumps and other fun things you can watch with the kids. My babies aren't at home, but sometimes I watch them anyway.
I'm also going to give you MY Top Ten Favorite Horror Movie List. Trust me, this is what I do.
10. The House on Haunted Hill -not the Vincent Price version. This movie has a lame ass kinda ending, but the rest of the movie kinda makes up for that. I liken it to 13 Ghosts. Same thing.
9. Friday the 13th parts 2 and 3 - I put these two together cuz they are both equal in my book. I watched part 2 with my best good friend Nissa when she left the big city to come down to the country for a visit. We were on the fold out in the living room watchin away when my evil brother Beau Baby jumped through the open window and scared the poop out of us! Part three is in 3-D so it's extra awesome! Both are good frighting memories.
8. The Evil Dead II - The Evil Dead is pretty good, but I think 2 is better! You don't have to watch the first one to watch the second one, cuz it does a lil recap in the beginning. Let me tell you, there is this scene with a deer head......Whoa! This is crazy stuff. Thank you Bruce Campbell. I want to have your babies. If I still could have babies.
7. The Amityville Horror - both versions. The original is so dark and unexpectedly terrifying. The remake has Ryan Reynolds in it, so what's not to love?! He doesn't wear a shirt in a few scenes, which is distracting from the horror. Ask Kate. He's so hot, it's frighting! A totally excellent re-make all-in-all.
6. A Nightmare on Elem Street - I was preggers with my first baby when I saw this movie. I'm still quite surprised he wasn't born right then and there! This movie seemed so real, like it could happen. The rest of the Elem Street movies turned into the Freddy Freak Show, but this one still has it's street cred. I sound so gangsta!
5. An American Werewolf in London - I love, love, love, wait one more, love this movie!!!!! If I'm feeling bad, sad or mad, I just play me some "Werewolf". Yep, it's like a happy pill wrapped in delightful, Wonka-like coating! It's dark and it's funny! It's Brits and Werewolves! It's two great tastes that taste great together! I especially love the scene when Griffin Dunn (cute!) and David Naughton (cuter!) are walking on the Moores. Ahhhhhhhhhh, feels like home to me.
4. The Entity - This movie is based on a true story. If you haven't seen it, you should. Barbara Hershey is excellent!
3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Ok, both are so wonderful and each have their creepy elements, but if you can make it through the first half hour of the original, which is a slow set up, the rest is some crazy shizzzz!! When Leatherface opens that door and grabs the girl, it happens so fast and it's so terrifying, you don't even know what you just saw. I'm quite certain that I peed my pants.
2. The Haunting - Not the craptacular re-make, the real 1963 version. My love of horror movies comes from my mom. She's not crazy like me, but her eyes would light up when she would tell me about a particularly good one! She has a really good story about this movie, which I will save for another day. This movie is rated G and there are no special effects, but it's what you don't see that makes this movie so scary. Tasty trivia, this movie is in Stephen Kings Top 10 as well. Now that's gotta say something.
1. The Exorcist - This movie scares the shit out of me!! For real! I remember asking my home-ec teacher Mrs. Sorenson about it when I was in 7th grade, and she told me that people were vomiting and passing out in the theater! The thought of that alone terrified me. I watched it one night with my best good friend Michelle and I was so frightened that I made her sleep in my twin bed with me. The weird thing was that she laughed through the whole thing and thought it was dumb. I guess horror is subjective.
So there you have it! Some fine television and movies to get your scare on. If you differ or have any other movies I should add, please leave a dark comment.
Remember, in Bloggland no one can hear you scream.

My baby is 22! Now that's scary!
Good Morning Shoppers! As you can see, I haven't been in Blogland as of lately. Do to our country's lack of moo-la, I've taken on several new and exciting employment opportunities! Really, I just needed the money. I've seen many a television movie of the week with some poor college co-ed making the same statement. Fortunately, I haven't had to resort to bein "Trudy the Daytime Hooker". The cash influx would be minimal at best, what with my cellulite and droopy double d's. Life ain't what it used to be, kids.
Nope, I got me a few jobs to add to my Cadillac Ranch duties! Now I'm spendin my Wednesdays being a Berista serving coffee and sandwiches to hungry contractors and heavy equipment operators. Waitress sounds so minimum wage. And on Thursdays, I work for my darling sis-in-law Laurie,(she married Beau Baby, poor girl!) running errands and buying things for the office. I'm calling that job "Personal Shopper", which sounds fancier than "Doin the stuff no one else wants or has time to do job". It's all in the title, my friends. Like gaffer, now one knows what that is, but it sounds cool and they get listed in the credits. How freakin awesome is that?!
Anyway, my point is that I'm only at the shop one or two days a week, so it's harder for me to keep in touch. I'm not neglecting you all. I promise. Also, I'm not poor, just earning some extra cash for the holidays. I'll let you know if I've had to change my name to Trudy.
Today is the birthday of my youngest man-baby, The Angry Youth. He turns 22. Gasp! I know, I can't believe it either. Seems like just yesterday I was screaming, "I just want this baby out of me!!!!!!" Ahhhhh, the memories. I hope your date last night went well, Baby, and I hope your birthday is happy! I love you more than there are words!
I don't know what the hell this is, but it's pretty fightening!

Ahhhhhh, live television.
Gotta love sticking your foot in your mouth!
Here are comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they
would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: 'This is Gregoriava from
Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up
and it was amazing.
2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and
I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her
mother.
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents,
especially my mother and father.
4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even
some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that
serious.
5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should
think we can expect the same thing again.
6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the
opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all
over their faces.
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the
wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the
British crew.
8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere.
It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.
9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing
so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes
out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I
just said?'

I'm a Halloweenie!
I love Halloween!! It's my fav-o-rite holiday! Must have sumpthing to do with my love of cheezy horror movies and fascination with serial killers and my general dark side. Not sure where I get it, but I know my youngest man-baby, The Angry Youth, has it too! I'm pretty sure he gets it from his mama.
I've pimped-out this blog-ger-ific site to all things Halloweenie!! I do want to mention that I got alot of my pimp stuff at satanspace.com, not because I worship the evil one(I'm dark, but not that dark!), but they have some really cool stuff! If you are into that kinda stuff.
Don't get the wrong idea about me, I'm very normal. I like pink and lacey, frilly things. My house isn't a Gothic tribute to Dracula. I love "happy endings", Barbie's (the doll and Katie's neighbor!), puppies, babies, and cotton candy! See.....normal.
If wishing you could dress up for Halloween as a tranny, dressed up as a cross between Dolly Parton and Pam Anderson and call yourself Dollisha Panderson is normal......then that's me! Totally normal.
Don't be skerd.

The Nun in Hooters
A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local
Hooters.
The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every
once in a while 'the lights would turn off.'
Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into
cheers.
However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent.
She walked up to the bartender, and asked, 'May I please use the
restroom?
The bartender replied, 'OK, but I should warn you that there is a
statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf.'
'Well, in that case, I'll just look the other way,'
said the nun.
So the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant.
After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place
stopped just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause!
She went to the bartender and said, 'Sir, I don't understand. Why
did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?'
'Well, now they know you're one of us,' said the bartender, 'Would
you like a drink?'
'No thank you, but, I still don't understand,' said the puzzled
nun. 'You see,' laughed the bartender, 'every time someone lifts
the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out.
Now, how about that drink?'

A very, very un-birthday to me, but not HP!
Today is my darling Mr. Horsepower's birthday! I told him he was old, but he's still just a young pup! How young you ask? Well, let's just say he's closer in age to my oldest man-baby than he is to me. What can I say, I like 'em that way! Dang cradle robber! Not a cougar, that just sounds icky.
I think birthdays are bitchen!! They are "your" on special day! I mean, everyone has Christmas, (or Haunaka if the dradel fits), and Halloween and even Arbor Day, but not everyone has the same birthday. I think birthdays should be "all about you"! And you should be worshiped by your loved ones for the "gifts that you are!" Thank you cazy Paula. Who would we talk about if we didn't have you?!
So Happy Birthday my beautiful husband! You are amazing! You are a friend and father to the man-babies, you work hard for us everyday and never complain, and your kisses still make me weak in the knees! I'm so glad it's your birthday and I have a reason to sing your praises! In a word, "YOU ROCK!"
Guess that was really two.......I love you, Baby.

Bad blogger! Bad!
I'm a terrible blogger. I haven't posted much in pevious months. Guess that makes me a slacker. I admire all of you, yes you, for being dilagent in you writings. Well done you non-slackers!!
It's not that I have nothing to write about, it's that I always have something else to do! Something that seems more important that sitting down at the ole computer and telling some mundane story. Like cleaning up the dryer sheet that one of my darling nuggets just shredded into bits! Who doesn't want to hear about that tidbit of crazy, whacky fun?!
I realy have had a buzy summer. Some things I haven't even visited with you all about! Not cuz I didn't want to, but they just happend and went so quickly that I by the time I sat down to write, I had something else to say. Here is a list of things I forgot to tell you!
1.Horsepower and I judge a dance compatition for my fabulous friend Andrea! No, we know nothing about dance but we did watch "So You Think You Can Dance" on TV, so that makes us almost professionals!
2.While we were on va-kay with Momma HP our business was broken into so we had to rush home and meet with the coppers. Booooo!!!! New doors cost a mint!
3.Went to the lake on new boat many times. So many times I had to......
4.Get a chemical peel. I'm recovering as I type this. My face looks like a greasy, brown paper bag. It's just starting to peel around the nose and chin area so I will soon be looking like that guy in "An American Werewolf In London" with dangling hunks of dead flesh! Yum!
There is probably more, but it's all in the past. Like old boyfriends, fun to think about, but there is a reason why they'er gone.
I'm gonna end this with a tribute to my friend Cecilee. I just found out she was killed in a terrible plane crash. I'm so glad I got to see her not long ago and meet her beautiful daughter. She was so kind and really listened when you talked to her, and she was always the type to think before she spoke. She was peaceful and at ease, like a "flowerchild", she found good in everything. The world will be a little sadder and lonelier without her.
It's not that I have nothing to write about, it's that I always have something else to do! Something that seems more important that sitting down at the ole computer and telling some mundane story. Like cleaning up the dryer sheet that one of my darling nuggets just shredded into bits! Who doesn't want to hear about that tidbit of crazy, whacky fun?!

Life happens. More randomness.
Does anyone else love the "Soyjoy" commercial? I do! I just sorta speaks to me.
Did I mention that we have a new boat? We do!! I love it! I want to be on it everyday. Mostly, because summer is almost over and we are running out of boat time.
Bad news. Because we have a boat, more people are exposed to my jiggly fat. Good news. I starting to worry a little less about it. I said, "starting" and "a little". I'm off to do Barry's Boot Camp.
I love to watch the History Channel. Just the dark stuff. I watch "Surviving History" because those crazy Puritans were really demented and made some depraved torture devices! Who doesn't like that crap?!
Do you think Ghost Hunters will let me be one their show when they go to the "Stanley Hotel" on Halloween to do some investigating?? They don't even know that I want to, but that would be cool.
My darling HP and I were watching "Flipping Out" one day and HP said that he and Jeff Lewis had alotta the same tendencies. I agreed. I now realize I'm married to Jeff Lewis, not gay version, although, HP does like Tim Gunn......Hummmmmmmm....Just kidding! He's not a scared of vagina's! But he is crazy like Jeff Lewis. I'm like Jenny. I can't rap though.
I have not watched the Olympics. Does that make me um-American? I did watch the opening ceremony! It was rad!! That counts for something, right?
Do you think that persons with the last name "Hitler" change their names, or want to? I would!
Ohhhhh, I got a Cricut machine! I've been scrap booking like a maniac!! I used to be in a scrapbook group and we were called "The Crop Circles". I miss those girls! We ate alotta M&M's.
I used to have a boyfriend in high school named Jimmy. He always bought me M&M's cuz he new I liked them. I like a boy that pays attention! He also took me to the "big city" to see the greaest movie ever, "Sixteen Candles"! On my 16th birthday he took me to the elementary school and kissed my on the playground. How freakin sweet is that?! His ex-girl friend shot his truck because he broke up with her, or because he was dating me, I'm not sure which. He married her. I hope they are doing ok. No really, I do!
In case you were wondering......always plain, not peanut.

All my dreams came true last night.....In tears!
Not really last night, actually on Thursday, but I've been having technical difficulties. Much better now thanks to HP, he can fix darn near anything, including broken hearts. That's the best kinda "Mr. Fix It"!
So,on to Thursday night! As you all have probably read on darling sister's blog-a-mania, she and I went to a "Bring back the 80's" reunion concert! As you also know, it TOTALLY ROCKED!! Amazing doesn't even cut it!! We made new friends, we sang out loud and we danced our asses off! And then we rode TRAX home! We are so cool and fabulous!
I would also like to mention that Martin Fry is just as foxy as ever! There is something about a tall man in a straight leg, black suit and skinny tie! Grrrrrr!!!
What's your destination? Ecstasy!

70's and easy, that's the way ahuh, ahuh I like it!
I'm sitting here with my nuggets just catching up on my lovely friends in the blogging world, listening to the 70's on XM. Sometimes you need a break from the
80's. Not very often though.
I have been a terrible blogger as of lately. I'm sorry. My summer has been chuck full o' busy-ness. Never in my whole life have I ever wanted summer to end, but this year I'm ready for it to be done! That makes me sad. Life happens and it is what it is. But I haven't started smoking again. That's good.
So, for the record, I used to not be much of a cook. Ask Kate. My family even made fun of my failures to boil water. But now, I cook almost every night! Not to toot my own horn, but it's better than edible! I've been practicin. Now I like to give credit where credit is due, and I found this in The Hungry Girl's Cookbook. If you are watching calories, like ME, it's a good one to have. She has a website too, but I don't know how to link all that crap together. Maybe one day my very smart sister will teach me how to do all that stuff. Then I will forget and have to call her 15 times, and I will cry cuz I can't get it to work. Until then, here is the address:
www.hungry-girl.com. Lots of yummy things to check out! Go there quickly!! But make this first!
This is my version of Southwest Surprise. I call it Dumpa, Dumpa, Dumpa like Cupa, Cupa, Cupa from Steel Magnolias, and basically you just dump in cans and packets of stuff. Did I say easy? Well I am now!
Dumpa, Dumpa, Dumpa
1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 can pinto beans, rinsed
2 cans black beans, rinsed
3 cans diced tomatoes, no salt added if available
1 can diced Italian tomatoes
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 packet taco seasoning mix
2 cans mexicorn, or frozen I don't care
Brown meat with onions and garlic in a big pot. Add tomatoes, beans, corn and packets. Not the packets themselves, but the contents inside. I only clarify cuz the old me would have questioned this step. Simmer for 15 mins. Let sit for 5 mins. before serving. You can top it with cheese and sour cream. You could use fat free sour cream and cheese, but why would you want to? Guess that explains why my fat ass is still fat, don't it?!
Now you won't see alota recipes on this here blog, but I will share ones that are delicious and easy. We don't want to be stuck in the kitchen, there are men that need kissin and babies that need lovin, and someone in the lot always needs clean socks! So get to it!

This Sucks!
Holly crap! It's been some week! More of the usual, and then some more!
It's Tuesday, and I weigh 126.2 lbs. How this is happening, I do not know. I do know that I have been doing Barry's Boot Camp faithfully every day. I'm sweating buckets and I'm gaining. God hates me. I'm eating a whole pie by myself, since it won't matter anyway.

God save the Queen!
What?! I think I'm British. I meant to say Happy 4th of July!! Thank you founding fathers for giving us such a lovely holiday so we can enjoy many beers, picnics and sparklers! I'm quite sure that is what you had in mind. Oh yeah, and our independence. That totally rocks!
Today everybody bailed on us, so it's just me, HP, Mama HP and the Nuggets. We are fixen to have ourselves a lil bar-b-que and have some homemade ice cream and many brewskies. I didn't make it to the liquor store for anything else. Dang! HP said we just got invited to our friends the Schmutzy Wootzies to do fireworks. We are sharing the ice cream. I will share. Just cuz they are just about the best friends hillbillies like us could wish for! They feed us drinks and let us swim in their pool! Freakin sweet! They are sinners too. I like that in my friends.
Besides, I rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, the sinner are much more fun! Thank you Billy Joel. Words to live by.
I'm gonna live forever if the good die young! I don't know who sang that one.

Buzy as a sinner can be!
So I've been out there in Blogland catching up on ya'alls gossip. I was feeling kinda bad about not keeping up on my post, due to all my summer ventures, but then I noticed that some of ya'all have been slacking too! Now I don't feel so bad. Summer is a hot bitch! Here are some of the things I've been doin to keep me away from you for such long periods of time.
1. Got hair colored and trimmed
2. Went shopping at Target (regular not super.)
3. Moved oldest man-baby to new pad (which is Beau Baby and Laurie's house. Thanks
family for taking in my stray!)
4. Went to Vegas so HP could look at old cars
5. Did the "Bodies Exhibit" at the Tropicana (what a dive!)
6. Watched Brandy's baby (no teeth marks, just nibbles. Yum!)
7. Cooked many, many meals
8. Had dinner with Kym Squared
9. Went shopping at Costco (twice)
10. Cleaned dog poo
11. Red-neck Swimmin Party w/Andrea and girlies (more about this lata.)
12. Went shopping at Wal-Mart (1500 times!)
13. Various house cleaning duties (the lot. That was very British.)
14. Let 4 dogs in and out of house 9 thousand times (in hopes that they will poo out there instead of in here.)
15. Went shopping at Ross
16. Countless hours in car goin to and fro
17. Starbucks (twice)
18. Visited Laurie in her new office (fancy!)
19. Had dinner at Mom's
20. Found out Angry Youth has a girlfriend (WHAT?! Many questions, none answered.)
21. House hunting
22. Scheduled some therapy (I didn't, but I should.)
Whew! That wasn't even all of it! There was a lot more poo cleaning than I mentioned. I've also had my darling mother of HP with me on most of these outings, and she is a pretty good sport. And nephew is back from Jesus camp, with Twitch. I may need Jesus camp too. I've been praying alot!!
Actually, I've just been saying, "Jesus Christ!".
What can I say? I'm a sinner.

Random Thoughts and Other Weird Stuff In My Head.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Having company means that you eat, and eating means that you gain weight, which is exactily what I did. I have however, started "Barry's Boot Camp". I just finished and I'm sweatin like a sinner in church! This better work. I hate sweat.
Do you ever just have weird thoughts in your head? The kinda thoughts where you are looking off into the distance with vacant eyes, staring, until someone says something to you and you snap out of the long winding space cruise you were just on. Ya know know the kind where you are almost drooling. Well, I'm not talking about those, just random thoughts. Not like math or anything.
Here are some of mine.
Is it just me, or are those guys from "Deadliest Catch" kinda cute?
What purpose do cockroaches serve? I mean why are they in the eco system plan? Do they really have purpose, other than being discusting?
Why does the hair on your under arms and legs grow a quarter of an inch over night, and the hair on your head takes months to grow the same amount?
Is it to watch "Bridget Jones' Diary" every day? And who is the better kisser, Hugh Grant or Colin Firth? That lucky Renee!
Does it hurt for a chicken to lay an egg? Cuz it sure looks like it does! Are we mean for making the chickens produce so many if it does?
Why are babies so cute that you would want to take a bite out of them? Really! I just want to eat them up!
If I had to choose one channel to watch for the rest of my life, which one would I pick?
Do other love to play "Desert Island" as much as I do?
Why do I love horror movies so dang much?
What is my fasination with serial killers? And everything Egyptian.
I need more Botox. Can you get addicted to Botox? Do I care?
I hope others of you have some unusual thinkings in your noggins. I'd hate for you all to read this and think I'm some kinda whack job. I often wonder what Stephen King thinks of as he's drifting off to sleep. It could be something totally normal like, "Deep dish really is better than thin crust!" I hope it's something dark and crazy. I may never know. I think I'll think on that for awhile.

Dang Summer!
Do you remember when summers were for relaxing? No pressure, just hanging out with your friends by the pool, meeting cute boys from other towns, walking to the local drive in to get cherry-vanilla cokes, dragging main, working on your tan down at the lake. Ahh......the good ole days. Now summers are as action packed as an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie! I can't believe how much of the summer is gone already and I haven't even gone to the lake, not once! And, I don't even know what I've been doing. It's just that time has slipped away. And then I'll be 60, and I'll wonder why I drink so much and where did all the cats come from.
I've been sticking to my diet.....mostly. My weight as of Monday, 122.6. I did get down to 122.4, but nothin to write home about. I'm sorry I haven't been as diligent at my blog as I should have been. I'm intending to be better. Really. I swear, I looked up and it was Thursday.
My mother in law is coming to stay with us for a month. Does that help explain? I sure hope so. I'm sitting on the floor writing and waiting for the carpet cleaners to show up. Four dogs in the house sure takes it's toll on the rugs. I've been cleaning like crazy! Not that my mother in law would even care, she's awesome! But, I wouldn't want her to think that her oldest child would marry a slob. I want her to think, "Wow! My son married an amazing house-keeper and I'm so lucky to have her as my daughter-in-law!" You know, just a lil supthin like that. Basically, I don't have any skills so I'm gonna have to impress her with cleanliness.
I've also been catching up on my Netflix. I've had 3 movies for like 2 months that I have needed to watch. I highly recommend "Lars and the Real Girl". It was darling!! Love that Ryan Gosling! He can do no wrong.
Carpet guys are here now. Gotta go. TTFN!! Really! Did you notice how I got stuck on italic? Fixed it all by myself.

Bonding with the Angry Youth
Hello Peanuts! Yes, I know it's been quite some time. I did take my picture as promised. Good news! I swear, if I try, I gain. If I don't I lose. Go figure. I'm thinking now that I'm old, it's gonna take more than diet. I'm thinking about buying Barry's Boot Camp. I saw it on a infomercial. The exercises only last in 60 second intervals, and since that is about all he patience I have for any one exercise, it could work. Discuss and get back with me.
The reason I've taken so long to get back with ya'll, is because..............well, I just didn't feel like it. Not cuz I don't care, I just found other things to occupy my time. I spent last weekend with my crazy, delightful family! Even got my man-babies together for a picture with myself and Mr. Horsepower. It may be our future Christmas card, so watch for it this winter. Then, my youngest man-baby came down for a visit, I don't get to see him much since he is an "angry youth", so I spend as much time with him as he will give me! We've been watching the new "Day of the Dead" movies and episodes of "Firefly"! There is nothing so wonderful as bonding with your child over flesh eating zombies and the Sci-fi channel! It's like magic!
So sorry Peanuts, but babies don't keep! I once read this poem about a woman that needed to clean her house, but she didn't cuz she was holding her baby. I just remember the last line, "dust settle down and cobwebs go to sleep, I'm holding my baby and babies don't keep." I cry every time I think of it, because it is so true! Then I think of Abe Hunin and screamin hooligans at the store, and I am glad that I have any Angry Youth that loves cheesy horror movies.
Do you think he'd be willing to sit in my lap and watch them?

Sex in a little City!
Hello my yummy's! I finally got my long lost post to post. Huh? Don't feel like you missed anything. I'm still a chubby petite.
I'm so excited! My beautiful, darling sister is coming for a visit. Not to my house, but to Beau Baby's house. Close enough. She is bringing her littles with her! I can't wait to squeeze and kiss them, and pretend that they love me best! They do. I just don't want the rest of the fam dam to hate me for it. Family life is hard enough without that hanging over your head.
I'm really excited cuz Kate and I are going to see Sex and the City, The Movie! Heaven in Manolo Blahniks! I could pee my pants!! I love, love, love Sex and the City! I own them all, watch them on TBS and buy every rag with SJP on it! My good friend Autumn and I would discuss SATC every week at work, and we had our favorite bits. Hers was, "He broke up with me on a Post-It!" I will forever associate those words with Autumn. We had this theory that every thing in life was related to an episode of "Seinfeld" or "SATC". Note to self: Go visit Autumn! Note to men: Never break up with a girl on a Post-It!
I can't wait to see the girls! They are my old friends and I haven't seen them in a long time! I've missed them so! I know that Kate feels the same way too! I'm super glad that she will be with me. Did I mention that I'm so excited?!
Autumn, I miss ya girl. You are my Miranda.

Now that's hot!
Okay, I had a post for yesterday, but I can't get it to post. Technology. Whatever. Bring back the 80's! When things were simple. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. Or was that the 60's? Hummmm.................I'll get it to work eventually. I hope.
Today I'm gonna go over my top five laminated list. For those of you that don't know what that is, you should watch more "Friends". Top five laminated list is a person/celebrity that you will never in a million years get to be be with, but if the situation actually presented itself and you got an opportunity to be with that person, it would be ok with your significant other. Kapeeseesh? We all have a laminated list. Mr Horsepower says he doesn't, but he does. He doesn't want me to feel bad about the thought of him wanting to lock lips with Halley Berry. Let's face it HP, it ain't never gonna happen. I mean she's Halley and he's a grease monkey in a small southern town. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I love that about him! And if Miss Halley tried to take my man, I'd have sumpthin to say about it! But like I said, it ain't never gonna happen. Besides, I'm no Pam Anderson myself.
So with much thought and deliberation, here it is. My top five laminated list! These are not in order, just five. Thank you.
1. Bruce Campbell- The Evil Dead movies
2. Joe Bob Briggs- TNT Monstervison host
3. Ryan Gosling- The Notebook
4. Chris Noth- Mr. Big from Sex in the City
5. Mike Rowe- Dirty Jobs
There it is. As you can see, I have a thing for "tall, dark and handsome". Dark being the key word there. An interesting nose and sense of humour gets me every time! I'm a sucker for a big nose and a laugh. Now some of you may be going "Huuuuhhh?", or "Yuck!", but the list is a very personal choice. Also, this list is subject to change. I've found that as time goes by, my list evolves. My list used to consist of Billy Idol and C.Thomas Howell. While both still have their hotness, I've grown up a little. Like I have to remember to walk past the "juniors" section at Dillard's, and actually search for "trendy" women's apparel. What's wrong with a 40 year old wearing a mini skirt? I know exactly what is wrong with a 40 year old wearing a mini skirt. But if the legs hold out, isn't it okay?? Discuss.
Now I expect a surge of you commenting me back on your own top five laminated lists. I'd like to get to know you all a little better, and I think that a list like that says alot about a person. Like weather you need therapy................. or an exorcism. I promise I won't judge.
Okay, maybe just a little. My grandmother is Catholic, she's got connections.

I developed a Twitch. Both kinds!
I don't even know where to start. The photo is aweful, but so is the progress. I thought I was being careful. How do things like this happen? Am I really seeing this? Try again, maybe it's wrong. These were the same statements and questions I asked myself when I found out I was preggers in high school. Only this time my dad won't cry. I did, however. Again. How did I gain 3 lbs?!?! I'm now more than when I started!! Dang! Double dang! Freaking holidays! What the crap?! Disiplin!! I need to be strict and structured! No more foolishness! I mean business. Where is Richard Simmons when I need him??
Okay, so now I'm done. Ranting, that is. Just to let you know, my nephew PJ and his dog Twitch have moved in with us for the summer. PJ wants to learn how to turn a wrench, so were takin him and Twitch into the fold. Yep people, that is four, count 'em, four dogs in my lil home sweet home. And Twitch is a Boxer. His meaty paw is the size of Miss Lola's head! She's not gonna take any crap from him though. She lets him have it ( from the safety of the couch), every chance she gets! Thorley's not to fond either. There's lots of yipping and barking and carring on. Murphy and Twitch like to wrestle. And growl. And bite. There is so much going on round here. It's a Dalmation Plantation! Minus the Dalmations.
Good thing I have tile floors.
Footnote: I was struggling with my pictures. My weight was 126.2. Craptacular! Gained back the 2 lbs that I lost and add 1 extra. Lovely! Will add pictures of Twitch soon. Before he gets any bigger. Which may be tomarrow.

Her name was Lola, she was a show girl!
Hi my noodles! I woke up this morning, and realized it is Thursday! Where has the time gone?? I also feel like I'm 16 still, in my head, but that is another story.Here she is! My new lil nugget! Isn't she lovely?! We've had a ruff start with her. She spent the weekend in the emergency room, for pets, and is on every med that they make for lil nuggets! I think we have found the culprit, though. My new lil baby is hosting a parasite in her lil belly! Doesn't that just make you think of Alien?! Yep, it do!
Now, I know I love this lil nugg cuz I have done things for her that only a mama would do. I've caught her puke in my hands, I've scooped up her poop in a Tupperware container and drove it across town so the vet can look at it, gotten up at night to feed her! Sheesh! It's like having a real baby!! But the funny thing is, I don't seem to mind. She's mine now. Plus, Mr. Horsepower let me stay home this week to get her on the mend! There are advantages to sleeping with the boss!
There is one more sad story. Lola has a open fontanel, which is the soft spot on top of her head. It should have closed by now, so Doc is a lil worried. She's ok, no dain bramage, but we have to be extra careful. No wrestling with the other hounds. No droppin her on her noggin. Dang!! You know how much I like to do that! With that in mind, it has been suggested that we fashion her with a little helmet. I have a dog that wears a helmet. Never thought I'd be uttering those words from my mouth. We have a dog with special needs. Once again........I'm tired.
Sooooooo, we've found a house that we love!! Bad news is there is already a bid on it. Double dang!! But, it may not go through, not sure why, but then we would be next! This is big, people! I looked all last summer and didn't find a dang thing, and yesterday was my first day out looking! The stars must be aligning with the planets or some crap like that. Anyway, I need you all to come together for a moment of silence, in prayer or whatever, for the "house". Work your mo-jo, get rid of the bad ju-ju, burn some sage, do the chicken dance, ya know whatever. I'm going to redeem my karma points. Mind you, I don't have many. I am a sinner, after all. A heathen Jezebel. Is it wrong to wish "those people" don't get the house, so I can have it? I mean, it's not like wished them to get in a car crash or something. Right?? GOOD JU-JU! GOOD JU-JU!!
Holla goes out to my beautiful lil sis Kate and her best husband ever, Bob, for being married a really long time! They rock!! They are the shiz! They're better than bad, they're GOOD! Happy anniversary you chicken lickins! I love yer guts!
PS. Kate, ask Seth if he's using his helmet, Lola needs to borrow it.

Coming soon........Pictures!
Hey Ya'll! Sorry I missed you yesterday, I have some sick hounds that have been monopolizing most of my time, but I did take my picture on the scale, as promised! I took it first thing Monday morning, honest to goodness! And then I did the happy dance!! So happy that I didn't let you all, or myself, down. Whooosssh! That was makin me nervous.
So now that is over, I'm please to announce a new addition to our family. She is a long hair, teacup chihuahua and her name is Lola. I love her to bits!! She is super sweet and so beautiful. I know, I know, most of you are gonna think I'm crazy for having three dogs, but some people have 5 cats or 17 children! What works for some, doesn't work for others. And she makes me happy, so how can that be bad?!
Don't answer that.............It's pretty in this lil world I've made.

Don't ask, just go!
Hi Weekenders! Ittttt'ssss here! Yippeeee!! I'm desk dancin!! So, I know that I already put that cute lil puppy/kitty thing up, cuz I had to look a MLS listings sent to me by our sweet gal realtor, Miss Heidi, and I didn't have alotta time. But I wanted to mention one of my fav-o-rite sites in the World, next to all of yours, that is..........
It's http://www.hulu.com/ and I love it! It is awesome!! You can watch movies and TV.......stuff you missed! Old Charlie's Angels and Battelstar Gallactica! And my most favoritest show ever, Buffy the Vampire Slayer!!! (And I wonder where youngest man-baby get's it from.) Right now I'm watching Bones, it's lovely.
I suggest you go there directly and watch the snippets of SNL! My personal fav is called "It's a Match" and "Barry Gibb Talk Show" and "Girls Trying on Clothes", ohhhh and "Annuale" sooooo Freakin funny! Check it out and tell me what you think. Come on, would I steer you wrong??

Is house hunting a sport?
Hi my fav-o-rite lounge lizards! Tribute to the 80's game Leisure Larry and Land of the Lounge Lizards! For those of you that care, I have a Leisure Larry key chain, a most prized possesion. Which reminds me of the time I traded a rubber chicken key chain to my craziest, funniest, demented friend Rach, for a shirt that says "Trailer Trash"on it. It was a good trade. Oh Rach, how I miss you so!
So, I have alot going on these days. Let's be honest, who doesn't. Sometimes I feel so whelmed, that I just want to climb into bed, minus devil hounds, and sleep for a week to ten days. Again, who doesn't. So what do I do in these times of whemedness? I look for a new house!!
Yep lizards, the hunt is on! This time I'm bringing a lunch! Last summer I looked at every dang house is the valley, did we buy anything? Of course not. Mr. Horsepower is very particular about where he's gonna keep his collection of crap. He want's a rambler with an entryway and only certain colors are acceptable, must have three car garage, etc. Sheesh! How'd he get so picky?! I mean he comes home covered in grease, smelling like a dirty man-boy! Who does he think he is, getting to be so choosy? It must be the Tim Gunn in him. He is a bit metro. By bit, I mean alot. Shush! It's a secret.
I'm much simpler. I only requested a yard big enough for a pool, and a wonderful closet! It's the Carrie Bradshaw in me. Oh, and a nice kitchen. Pretty easy, don't you think? This is the part where you all, as my trusted lizards, nod approvingly with agreement. Thank you. Mr. HP has learned that technique and has never once regretted it. It's really in his best interest. Silly boys!
Truth is, we both have the same taste and ideas on what a house should look like for us. I'm just a lil more flexible. I don't mind a two story or if the master bedroom is a lil small especially if it has a good bathroom. I'm willing to compromise. Not Mr. HP. It's his way or the highway! He'll be the judge!! He's the boss! You don't know!! I got sooooo good at just opening the door of a house and knowing Mr. HP wasn't gonna like it. And there were some cute houses out there! But none for me. Where to put me and my devil hounds and my man-babies when they come to visit?! Sheesh!
So now we are back on the hunt for a new nest! And Mr. Horsepower is gonna see how hard it really is, cuz I'm not gonna do it by myself this time. He's goin with me.
I'm tired already.

Week 1, Feeling motivated!! At least til I get real hungry.
Hello my doodle bugs! Well, here it is......scale and feet! And 125.8 lbs!! Booooooooooo!! Me no likey! Them's fightin numbers!! The'r makein me angry!! Tarnation!! Did Yosimitie Sam just posesed my chunky body?!
Did you notice how some of my toe-nail polish looks black?? Weird, cuz it wasn't. And sorry bout the strap that's hanging in the picture, it was harder to get that shot than you'd think! Plus, now that I'm older, it's a lil harder to bend over like that!
So, you get to look forward to this every Monday! Lucky!!! I appreciate your kind words and support! I look forward to leaning on you in my times of need. Like, I NEED that peanut butter cup! Or, I NEED those tortilla chips covered in mountains of delicious guacamole! Just slap my hand and say, "No! Bad girl! We don't eat Cap'n Crunch by the handfuls out of the box in the middle of the Wal-Mart! Now go to your room!"
Yep, this is gonna be a piece of cake......pie......
PS. Kate couldn't remember being called "chickens", I thinks it was actually "chicken lickins", which is also a little strange, but I call my devil hounds "nuggets", so who am I to judge?

This is gonna be me! A skinny chicken or better yet Katie Price!
Hello my lil chickens! My mom used to call us chickens, so it's not bad. I promise. It'll only require a small amount of therapy.
Today I will not mention fabulous shoes or the fabulous concert I will be attending with my most lovely sister, both of those things have been covered today. Today I will be talking about the diet that I MUST go on. I'm ever so excited. Do you feel it? Oh yeah, baby! I know you do!
Last night after a hard day of getting my hair done and shopping at the Wal-Mart, oh yeah, guess who I ran into outside the Wal-Mart? My youngest man-baby!! He looks so handsome in his Capt. Spaulding t-shirt and his hair in his eyes! My beautiful baby! He let me hug him and give him 20 dollars. I was sooo happy it was like Christmas and my birthday and summer vacation all together! Anyway, he had important stuff to do, like add to his japanime video collection, or something, so off he went. Followed by many "I love you's" and "Don't forget to call your mother's" and "Find a nice girl that likes vampire books and Harry Potter role-playing games". You think I'm kidding about the last one, don't you?
Anywho, after such a trying day, Mr. Horsepower took me out to eat dinner because he felt so bad that I had to live under such stressful conditions. Isn't he sweet?! Yep, I know. We went to Famous Dave's and had the "garbage lid" dinner. We also had margaritas, beer and a bread pudding. As I was shoveling desert in my mouth, like I had never tasted the likes of such sweet confections, I realized that this has got to stop! No really! Like now! I've put on 15 lbs in the year and half I've been married. Summer is coming and my good friend Miss P has a pool, and pool parties, requiring me to unleash these chunka lunka thighs! My bottom has more dimples than kindergarten class photograph! Make the madness stop!!!!!!!!!!!
So now is the time when I share my plan with you, my trusted, faithful chickens! I figure if I tell you all that I am going on a diet and I make weekly postings, it will force me to loose the extra poundage, if only from sheer embarrassment at posting it a site for all to see!! There IS the method to my madness! I need the love and support and diet tips, ways to sew my mouth shut, how to make water taste like a steak and mashed potatoes, from my friends! I'm counting on you all to make this easier for me. Thank you.
So look forward to the fatness on Monday! Hopefully every week it will be a little less! I promise not to show pictures of my chub. Don't be skerd! I will however, show pictures of the scale. What?? I must be crazy!!
And how.

Boobs and Rats and Babies.....That otta get yer attention.
Hello my pretties! I'm feeling optimistic today, considering the events of the morning. Nothing earth shattering, just mildly aweful. It was just another day.............
I woke up this morning, tired....again! Told Mr. Horsepower to go ahead without me cuz I was feeling a lil late this morning. You know that feeling, right?? So after he left I got out of bed, pulled down the one pant leg that had wiggled itself to the upper thigh area, tucked in my right boob that had escaped my shelf bra, tank top and headed straight to the kitchen for a very large cup of coffee. Ahhhhhhh........one sip and I feel brandly new! Came back to the bedroom to check on the devil hounds, much mischief can occur in the short amout of time that it takes to get a cup o joe. Still sleeping! This is shaping up to be a great day! Now to survey the damage that has ensued during the nights journey that has caused unleasing of boobies and riding up of pants. Ohhhh mirror, please be kind to me! Truth is, I should know better.
For those of you that do not know, I had an unfortunate accident with a unkown hairdresser. Said hairdresser gave me a "do" commenly known as "The Mrs. Brady". Yes, THE Mrs. Carol Brady from the Brady Bunch! Needless to say, that was very very far away from the look that I was going for. After a few (3) days of crying and kicking and tantruming like a 2 year old, Mr. Horsepower said, "Go get some dang hair extensions if it will shut you up for five dang seconds!" It didn't really sound like that, but it probably should have. So I called up my favorite hair extension gal to make an appoinment. Problems solved! Or not. Favorite hairdresser gal just so happens to be having a baby..........like she is literally in the hospital as we are speaking! Dang it!! Come on baby, I'm in a hair crisis! Why do you have to be born now when I am distraught?! Favorite hair gal says to see some other hair gal and get hair extensions. So I do. After spending my man-babies college education money, I have beautiful, long, blonde hair. And I feel happy again. And let's face it people, if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Today after looking in the mirror, I wasn't so happy. My beautiful blonde locks had morfed into a big ball of hair! First I tried combing it, no go. Then I thought I'll get into the shower and wash it and put on tons of Bio-Silk and that should do the trick! I'm smarter than the average bear. After fourty five minutes of trying to detangle the rat's nest attached to my head, I gave up. I went and got my trusty seam ripper and ripped those sucker out! And three hours later, I have shortish, thin hair again. It doesn't look like Mrs. Brady anymore, so that is good, and my hands kept moving fast so no rats could make a lodging on top of my skull. Also good.
I have and appointment with Favorite hair gal tomarrow. Would someone like to buy a devil hound? I need some cash, fast!
PS. My lil brother Beau Baby is now the proud owner of a grand baby! I'm soooooo glad it's you! Just kidding, I wish it was me, but since my man-babies can't remember anything unless the X-box loads it up onto the TV screen, it is for the best. Hope the lil one knows what family he got himself into?! Crazy is the standard, so it's best to keep up. Don't worry little one, your feet won't touch the ground and hugs are sure to be followed with kisses! Welcome home, baby!

I won't be able to work today.....because I have a bad case of dead.
Hello again, my fembots! I only say that, because I'm sure the only one that reads this on a daily basis is my beloved lil sis and her delightful friends! And since we all feel a little like robot moms/stepford wives, I think it was fitting. Also, those outfits are so dang cute with the marabou gun boobies! I'll take mine in pink, thank you!
As you can see, I didn't post yesterday. It was bill day at the "Mr. Fix It's House of Horrors". I am terrified of bill day! I'm not a circus clown, juggling isn't my specialty. Besides, I think clowns are scarey and creepy. But juggle I must on bill day. In the words of Mr. Horsepower's idol, Tim Gunn, "Make it work!" (Please don't tell Mr. Horsepower that I told you he idolizes Tim Gunn. He'll worry that you'll think he's not manley, and he'll totally deny it!) Over the past few months, I have learned how to make alotta things work. I had no idea what I was in for. Smelly, dirty man-boys, that make smelly, dirty man-jokes! Uggh! Some days it's too much for a delicate flower such as myself. I just want to run away and go shopping! If you are now wondering if this story ends with me running straight to the nearest mall, it doesn't. I'm tuffer than that! I'm not gonna let a few man-boys with dirty hands and a few hundred million dollars of payments scare me! And, for the record, I only cried a little. And nobody saw me, so it doesn't count.
Today I put on my big girl shoes, by that I mean my Jessica Simpson, silver, 3 1/2 in. heels, rounded toe, and faced the day. How bad can it be with such fabulous shoes, I ask you?? Then Mr. Horsepower asks if I balanced the check book. Dang!
With every day there is fresh hope.

TGIF!!!! Music by Donna Summer
Yes friends an neighboors, it's the ever beloved Friday! Yippee! I once had a guy come into the coffee shop that I worked at, and he yelled,"Happy f@&kin Friday!" That sums it all up for me. Some weekends are a long time coming. And some drinks aren't strong enough. Ya know what I mean? I know you do.
Fridays make me happy and rejuvinated! And that happy and rejuvinated me listens to disco! It reminds me of being young and having a dream of being a Solid Gold Dancer! Before becoming a teenage mother. But that is a another story for another time. Today is for dancing! For those of you that don't remember Solid Gold, or are too dang young to even know about this sparkley, varity show, it was the best thing on television!! It was the late 70's begining 80's, and every Sunday night, I'd park my booty right in front of the big cabinted, console TV in our living room, sitting on our semi-shag, rust colored carpeting. Ahhhh, the memories........it's like I'm still there! Anyway, it was a varity show, with Dionne Warwick, and later, with my personal favorite, Andy Gibb (my lover), and Marilyn MaCoo. There was singing and comedy and DANCING! Ohhhh, the dancing! Every week they would count down the top 10 songs, and to my delight, each song was dramaticly danced to by the Solid Gold Dancers! They also had the most amazing costumes, all shiny and glittery and.......tiny. I used to picture myself up there on that stage, dancing to "All Out of Love", by Air Supply. And later Andy (Gibb) would tell me how great I was, and did I have any plans for later?! Ahhhhhhh......... heavy sigh........................We used to say that in high school. I'm not sure what it means, but it was totally bitchin!
So, that was my dream. Back when kissing was enough and my biggest tragedy was having my hair not "go right". But I still have the music, and I love it! My dreams of dancing may be over, and it's probably for the best, (I'm not very co-ordinated, along with bad spelling and I didn't major math! ), but I DO have car dancing! I love to car dance! Kate, my beautiful sister, loves to car dance too! We car dance whenever we can, whenever we're together! I also get to dance around my house, much to my man-babies dismay. I have be asked on more than one occasion to "never do that again, please". To that I say, NO! I just wanna dance!! Dance my ass off!
Fridays rock! I feel like a whole new me! Or maybe, I feel like the old me, the young me...........with a dance to go to. Even if it is in the car, on the way home from work. And sometimes that's almost as good as a shiny, gold lame outfit.
Music for this memory was provided by:
KC and the Sunshine Band
The Bee Gees
Peaches and Herb
Diana Ross
Donna Summer
Lipps Inc.
The Gap Band
Pablo Cruise
Andy Gibb (my lover)
And countless others!
P.S. I just found out that Chaka Kahan and I share the same birthday! It's a sign!

Meet the lil.........Mister?
Hi! I'm just back from saving the world..............again. Sheesh! What a job! I'm watching my max limit today. For those of you not familiar with the amazing world of E-Bay, max limit is 100 items. They cut me off. Those lil suckers! Oh well, now it brings me back to ya'll. Good times, kids. Good times.
I've been discussing this here blog thingy with a handsome man that sleeps in my bed, better known as my husband. He's rugged, dark and dirty with car grease, and wears a uniform like nobody's business! And he's got dimples. Dimples so deep I just wanna fill them with ice cream and then eat it with a spoon! I love that! But best of all, he's sweet. Sweet to me, sweet to my man-babies, sweet to my crazy family, and then, he's just plain nice on top of that! He's even nice to people that are grouchy and mean! Makes me wanna puke! All that niceness. But hey, that's what I love about him. He inspires me to be a better person. But enough enough with that inspirational crap.
So, in our discussion about my blogging, I mentioned that I wanted to give him a "name" for my visitors. Something cute and manly. Ya know, like Pioneer Woman has Marlboro Man and Katie has.........Bob. No, Bob is not his secret alias, but still..........Anyyyyywhoooo, I asked him if he had any suggestions, after all, it is his a.k.a. too! I came up with a few ideas, and he came up with a few. My favorite sugguestion of his being, "Dirk Diggler". When the laughter stopped, I told him he was really funny and really cute.......... but no. (For those of you that are not familiar with that name, it's from the movie "Boogie Nights". Learn it, know it, love it.) Looks like we're gonna go with Mr. Horsepower. Yes, it does sort of have a lil bit of a porn ring to it, but it is actually a mascot for some kind of automotive product, and since my husband turns a wrench for a living, (instead of making porn), it seems sort of fitting.
So, now I've introduced you to Mr. Horsepower! He's a dream! And I'm soooo lucky he sleeps in my bed! Just me and him.........and the devil hounds. Dang!

I went on E-bay and all I got were these fabulous boots!
Just for the record, this special effect was created with ONLY two phone calls to my beautiful, darling, helpful sister, Kate. Me and my vintage (used) boots would be lost without you! Sigh.
Sorry, I've been buzy..............buzy shopping!
I'mmmm back! Yes, it's been a while. But I'm back in my lil office with my lil devil hounds sleepin soundly under the desk. They don't even know how good they've got it. Some dogs are sleepin outside in the dirt, for goodness sakes! But that is a story for another day.
I've decided that I should write on this here blogg thingy instead of shopping on E-Bay. Yes, I have a problem. The E-Bay has taken over my life. And I think I love it!! There is something so wonderful about the whole process! The searching, the watching, the bidding! And sometimes you have a stand off, like a shoot-out in the old west! The quickest hands win! The trick is not getting caught up in the moment. Like, how much are you REALLY willing to pay for someone's vintage, (also known as "used", but I prefer the latter), 1970's Frye Campus Riding boots?? In my case, that would be $56 plus $6.55 in shipping and handling. Whooohoooo!! And for the record, I fought tooth and nail for those puppies!! I even got my husband involved in this act of debotchery! He was watching over my shoulder saying, "Bid more! Times almost up! Yer gonna lose em! Just bid a hundred! You want them don't you?!" The pressure!! Sheesh! You get all sweaty-palmed, typing like a man possessed! ( I like to think of that man as Stephen King, but hey, that's just me.)
But I was victorious! I've actually been the weinner quite a few times now. In fact, my husband checks the account daily for my Pay-Pal transactions. He said that he's gonna have to disable our server, or some other technical verbage. Whatever! I didn't major in math! Besides, honey, I really NEEDED that vintage (used) apricot, dancing diva, 1970's, lace collared dress! And my life wouldn't be complete without that ruffled, cream colored, secretary button-up blouse, cira 1981! Come on people, it's called recycling! We've got to be more enviromentally concsious, and I'm gonna do my part!
I just spyed a darling, 1960's, pale green opra coat..............Just me, saving the world.
I've decided that I should write on this here blogg thingy instead of shopping on E-Bay. Yes, I have a problem. The E-Bay has taken over my life. And I think I love it!! There is something so wonderful about the whole process! The searching, the watching, the bidding! And sometimes you have a stand off, like a shoot-out in the old west! The quickest hands win! The trick is not getting caught up in the moment. Like, how much are you REALLY willing to pay for someone's vintage, (also known as "used", but I prefer the latter), 1970's Frye Campus Riding boots?? In my case, that would be $56 plus $6.55 in shipping and handling. Whooohoooo!! And for the record, I fought tooth and nail for those puppies!! I even got my husband involved in this act of debotchery! He was watching over my shoulder saying, "Bid more! Times almost up! Yer gonna lose em! Just bid a hundred! You want them don't you?!" The pressure!! Sheesh! You get all sweaty-palmed, typing like a man possessed! ( I like to think of that man as Stephen King, but hey, that's just me.)

A new world to rule........the world of Blogging!
Hi everyone! Soooooo, here I am, in the world of "The Bloggers"! Sounds like the makings of an excellent scary movie, if you ask me! "The Bloggers"! (if you peak through your fingers, it's not as scary!) Anyway, I'm giving this a try for a few reasons:
1. My lovely, beautiful, darling sister Katie, makes it look easy! And fun, no less.
2. I'm stuck in an offlice with two devil hounds, and my only visitors are dirty, smelly man-boys.
3. I'm wearing cute shoes, and want to tell someone! Go Shoes!! You Rock!!
4. I have something to say, and it may be helpful/funny/clever/ smart/ etc. Who knows? It could happen.
So, here I am. Oh, by the way, don't expect perfect spelling and punctuation. Katie is very buzy being a mom and doesn't have time for me to be calling her asking how to spell things. Sheesh! Also, I graduated from a very small school in a rural community.......Not that THAT has anything to do with my bad grammer and spelling, cuz it was a really great school, I just needed an excuse.
Wish me luck, Kids! It's a crazy world out there.........Hope you will stop by and visit me in mine!
