Back at it

I am SO greatful that I finally figured out how to get my blog back. I had to remember old emails and even older passwords... but finally its back in my possession! For me, this is a gold mine of rememberances of years past... pictures I cant find anywhere, and heartfelt sentiments from a time where I was a stay at home mom with 4 girls.

I really wanted to blog again... I have my blog back... it's on people!

It's a marshmallow world in the winter...


We had what is now being called "November Blizzard 2006" yesterday and today and I will tell ya -- it has been beautiful. I am so cheesy -- I got out and took a picture of our house in the snow...



There is a lot more snow now -- I really didnt want to get out after this pic -- WOW it's cold.

We had a great day. We opened all the blinds so that we could watch the snow fall, made fresh baked cookies, hot chocolate (loaded with marshmallows) and watched Polar Express with the kids. All the dogs had gotten baths so they were all inside and we were cuddly and warm and, well... it was perfect.

Sara, my 7 year old, spoke the same sentiment that I was feeling...

"It's days like these that I will always remember"

Yeah Sara, me too...

Giving Thanks

Hello everyone -- miss me?? I've been here, but I have been SO busy with... well with life. I am the mom of 4 girls after all.

I did however, want to take the time to update you on life here. All is well with us. Monty started a new job with OTR (Offroad Tire Recycling) and he is loving it. The great thing is that we will be transferring to another city soon so that Monty can run one of the hubs for the company. Those who must know where can email me.

If you are wondering why I dont blog as much anymore I have one word for you...

Myspace.

I know, I know -- I am one of many who have whored themselves to myspace -- but its cool because its like one big online reunion. I'm an addict -- I need a 12 step program... c'mon -- join -- everyone is doing it... LOL

So Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Duh, right? Everyone is blogging about it -- and what they are thankful for.

Well, I shall conform. Call me a follower. Go ahead.

In a season where family is the center, I have had such a blow to my life. My best friends Daddy, a man I have known, loved and sometimes feared (lol) for almost 18 years, was diagnosed with a very serious form of leukemia and has not been given a positive diagnosis. My heart has been breaking for my friend. She is my sister to me and I cannot take this pain from her, nor can I walk this walk For her. I can however walk beside her and hold her hand and cry with her and smile with her and be strong for her. I am so thankful for that -- we have a bond and I can't buy that or recreate that -- it's us, and I love her. My mind cannot drift far from she and her family though -- and what they are facing.

Of course, above and beyond all else... I am thankful for these people and what they mean to my life.







What am I saying? They ARE my life and my reason for getting up and breathing end and out every day...
Thank you God for my life and my family, for health and happiness, friends and loved ones, and for reminding us how awesome and fragile life can really be.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Kotex Tips for Life

I dont know who wrote this -- but it gave me such a laugh that I had to post it! Ladies, get ready for a chuckle... Gentlemen --try to keep up.

I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a bunch
of"Kotex Tips for Life" on it. Annoying advice such as:

*Staying active during your period can relieve cramps.
*Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches.
*Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated and feeling fresh.
*Try Kotex blah blah blah other products...

Obviously the individual behind this was someone who has never possessed
a functioning set of ovaries. Go ahead and tell a menstruating woman that
drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep her feeling fresh. Like we
need more fluid inside our bloated bodies from hell...but go ahead...I
triple-dog-friggen-dare-ya... See what happens and report back.

I'll wait.

While you're at it, dump out the coffee at work and remove the chocolate
from the vending machine. I garan-damn-tee you that the first responders
will be females who just ovulated.
Staying active will relieve headaches & cramps...well guess what, the
only activities that interest me is Eating..sleeping..bitching or crying for
no apparent reason.. ...and oh...does ripping someone's head off count as a
friggen' activity?????
Look, females don't need or want tips for living on their feminine
hygiene products. Younger girls are already hearing "helpful" crap like that from
elderly relatives. Veteran females have already concocted their own
recipes for survival, many containing alcohol & barbiturates.
Printing out crap advice while sneaking in ads for the brand that was
already purchased is just plain annoying, not to mention rude, and is
enough to send a girl running to the Always brand.

It's not a fun time, but DO NOT try to cheer us up by adding smiley faces
or bunnies or flowery cutesy crap to your products or the packaging. Put the
crap in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw it in our carts discreetly
and have it blend in among the wine and beer.

There is nothing more annoying than having a blinding pink package
announcing your uterine state to everyone in the store. Why don't ya just
add an in-store microphone to the damn package & announce that...helloooo,
another female in the store is starting!!!!!

So take your tips for living and your cute bunnies & the smiley faces and
shove them right up your ___!
P.S. How about adding a free sample of Pamprin & maybe a shot of Bourbon to
your packages instead?

To work or not to work... that is the question

I have been mulling this very question over in my head the last 2 weeks. A lot of you have been wondering and asking where in the heck I have been this summer... well, I went and got a "part-time" job for extra moolah and let my teenagers babysit for met his summer - - a job that I was only supposed to be working 20 hours a week on and I have been clocking 28-30 hours instead.

But here is my delimma --

School starts next week (thank the GODS of education) and Sara starts her first years of all day school which leaves Jinny Wren being the only child home and me looking for a babysitter that doesnt charge my freaking hourly wage. I found a place that only charges $4 an hour -- but literally thats almost haf of my hourly wage at this measly job.

I really dont want to quit. I love having the extra money, and having adults to hang around with again, but is does not seem feesable for me to go to allllll that trouble for 4 hours a day.

Grrrrrrrr.

I feel like such the jerk too because I know there are parents that HAVE to workand would love to even consider the option of staying home.

I think I may have made a mistake in going to work this summer too because my teenagers took it apon themselves to become the Hitler's of this house to my younger kids. And my daughter Amber? If there was a rule set into place, she made it her goal in life to break it every which way to Sunday. Seriously. My teenagers think they rule this roost.

I guess I am in a funk tonight... and I have to go to work in the morning so I cant have a beer (or three) to chill out --

Sex is not an option tonight either...

Bummer.


On a lighter note, I promise to be diligent in blogging more... Ive missed you guys too.

Total Nirvana... at Health Food Store??


I had to work today... only about 4 1/2 hours, but I dont "do" Saturdays typically, so I was bummed. They needed me - - I went. I was stressed when I went to the Health Food Center where Monty is working part time on weekends to take him to eat after I got off and the guy that does reflexology up there was working. I took Monty to eat and then when we went back, Monty made me sit down and I got my very first reflexology massage.

OOOOHH

MYYYYY

GAAAWD

Have you ever??

I'm absolutely HOOKED.

Now let me tell you - - I LOVE massages - but it takes SO MUCH for me to ever go - - take 3 hours out of my already crammed full schedule? Puhleeze.




But this - - this is 45 minutes in a chair to end ALLLL chairs, with warm towels over your feet and hands and a man rubbing your feet in ALL the right spots. Then when you think it cannot get much better he comes up and masages your hands.

As the chills were coursing throughout my body, and I was slipping in to complete relaxation, I realized that I was having a totally erotic feeling foot and hand massage by an 80 year old, very sweet man in hte corner of a health food store.

Pshaa - - who cares, right?

I'm going again next week.

The Husband hit a home run today...

I HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS

WELL, APPARENTLY I NEED TO CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP.

1. I AM A PRINCESS. I mean in every sense of the work. Not the Diana kind, more the Fergie kind - - always trying to please people and make people happy and failing miserably. Not only that, but I also like to be treated like the proverbial Princess. No scones and clotted cream tea times, but the Husband has always treated me like a Princess and I have gotten used to it. I am a freaking Princess guys... and you know what? I am not apoligizing for it.

2. I am so damn VAIN. I know it. Even with extra baggage and the beginnings of crows feet, I am a vain little vulture. My Dad is 67 and he is still vain. I come by it honestly, I am not going to change, and I am comfortable with that. We all have a bit of a vanity issue just by being bloggers, dont you think? I know I am a damn good singer. I have had opportunity after opportunity and i took some and left some and thats my decision. The fact that I am not a Broadway star does not mean that I am a failure. I know I am good. I'm vain, and you know what? I am not apoligizing for it.

3. My life is crazy. I have 4 kids, A job, bills and issues. I freaking doggy paddle my way through some days, and I know there are a bajillion others just like me in the world. I get all self absorbed in my shit sometimes like that same bajillions people. I am a self absorbed, vain, Greek-American Princess and you know what? I am not apoligizing for it.

I am also about the most loyal friend you could ever find. I love the people in my life so much, so intensely that I hurt when they hurt and I feel the urge to save them from any mistake or pain they may be feeling... even if it means that I take that pain into myself... an almost fatal flaw of mine on a few occasions. I can make people laugh, typically with ease, even if it is at the risk of making myself look like a fool. I will spend my last dime just to make someone smile. I work hard for my family. I bust my butt to make sure my kids live in a nice house with nice things. They deserve that, and I will do whatever I can to make that happen. There are 50 thousand other things that I could say but I dont feel like I have to anymore. I guess this little "vent" was enough.

Enough is enough.

6/11/2006


Took a pic of me with my hotttt red guitar... I need a hobby.

6/04/2006

Awesome feeling

There is nothing that can make a Mom feel better than having their 13 year old wrap their arms around your neck and say to you what my 13 year old said to me today...

"Momma, you are the best thing that ever happened to me..."

Make ya cry.

I have the greatest teenagers. And I am still the coolest chickadee to them. Still.

This weekend, my 14 year old got a phone call from a guy friend, asking her if she wanted to go hang out at their youth ministers house. Instead of going out with her friends she wanted to hang with her Dad and I - and go to the movies. I know eventually she will pick the friends, but it felt so good... ya know? We had the BEST time with the teenagers. (Our younger two were spending the night with the grandparents and thinking they were the lukiest because they got to take baths in their ginormous jacuzzi tub)We sat and a resturant and talked for almost 3 hours and then went to the movies. We came home really late and crashed and it was just an awesome night.

Ask me tomorrow and I might change my mind, but today - - the teenagers a great.

Post Secret that made me cry...

This is your brain on drugs...

There are some eternal questions out there...

Is there life after death?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop?

Will Van Halen ever take David Lee Roth back and be a family again?

Well, we might have an answer to one of these soon enough!

Check it out...



Roth Predicts Van Halen Comeback
By Gary Graff
Reuters

DETROIT (May 26) - Now that he's lost his radio job, David Lee Roth is seeking gainful employment in another capacity -- as lead singer of Van Halen. Again.
"I see it absolutely as an inevitability," says Roth, who was deposed by CBS Radio in late April as one of Howard Stern's replacements. "There's contact between the two camps, and they have legitimate management; Irv Azoff is part of their loop now.


"To me, it's not rocket surgery. It's very simple to put together. And as far as hurt feelings and water under the dam, like what's-her-name says to what's-her-name at the end of the movie 'Chicago' -- 'So what? It's showbiz!' So I definitely see it happening."



Despite that claim, Roth -- who was Van Halen's singer from 1974-1985 -- acknowledges that he hasn't seen Edward Van Halen "in a couple of years." The last time Roth recorded with Van Halen was for the group's "Best Of Van Halen Volume 1" album in 1996, though there have been periodic rumors ever since.


Roth isn't sitting around while he waits for the call, however. He joins the John Jorgensen bluegrass band for two songs -- "Jump" and "Jamie's Cryin' " -- on "Strummin' With the Devil: The Southern Side of Van Halen," a bluegrass-styled tribute to Van Halen. Roth calls it "a detour" as well as "an interesting return ... Before there was rock 'n' roll, there was me and a single guitar, flat pickin' Doc Watson (songs)." Roth plans to make a number of TV appearances on behalf of the album, which comes out June 6.


Roth is also planning to tour later this summer to play Van Halen hits -- "I'm so proud of that music," he says -- favorites from his solo album and covers. He'll leave the banjos and fiddles at home, though.


"I like to bring out the brass section now and the keyboard players and the singers and so forth," Roth explains. "It's probably a little closer to the Rolling Stones' revue than to the early three-piece power trio. But the demand is amazing; I guess I'm lucky enough to be one of those guys now who can point at the map and say 'Let's go here' -- or, rather, my favorite expression, which is 'Let's follow the sun."'


I for one am in the "Van Halen is just not Van Halen without David Lee Roth" camp. I always was. I married a "Van Hagar" fan and that has been a fun 10 years... I will admit that I like alot of Van Halen/Hagar hits. But given the choice? I want the original...

Here is what cracks me up... Reread the bolded portions of the interview with Roth. This egghead has fried his brain! It's not rocket surgery? Water under the dam? I was cracking up. I hope he still has a little bit of star power - - at least enough to sing their songs like he used to.

See kids? His interview is a perfect example of Why you dont do drugs. Stupid - - so stupid that the reporter didnt even correct it - - how sad.

So which side are you on? Van Halen with David Lee Roth or Van Hagar?

5/24/2006

Well, the results are in

American Idol...
I was an occasional viewer - - minding my business, living my life - - then Crystal would hound me about watching - - drawing me in to the evil black box called television. She's done this to me often... First 24, then American Idol, then Lost... she also got me to watching Young and the Restless regularly again.
There is a special place in hell for her - - waiting - - with a broken TV there just to taunt her.

ANYHOO - - -
Tonights the night. Season Finale. Taylor or Kat... I am typing this in real time - -It's 8:45, almost time for the announcement of the winner.

The thing is - - the odds are stacked against Kat. WHY? I have no clue...
She's phenomenal. She's beautiful. She has star quality. Last year was such a toss up - although I am really glad Carrie Underwood won, being from Oklahoma myself.

Taylor has been consistant, I'll give him that. I personally do not like him, or his style. Now, I didn ot say that I didnt think he had a good singing voice or any talent. I think he does - - but the whole package? I just don't see it. Whatever.

Well, here is the moment. They are about to announce the winner.
Hang on guys...

Whoa Prince. Prince is performing. I cannot believe hes on American Idol... He seems to big, too iconic to be on AI.

Dude, Prince should have borrowed Taylors Purple velvet jacket tonight!

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER??


Okay - - the real announcement time is here... Geez.
Grrrrrr. It's not like I dont know that Taylor's going to win.

OMG - another song my Kay and Taylor - - ewww it's "Ive Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing. My husbands probably in the bathroom retching, LOLOL

Can we PLEASE KNOW the results??

This is so funny - - Crystal is about 6 seconds behind me in Tulsa. We are on the phone together right now. I will know 6 second before her... LOL

Taylor Hicks.

He's the winner - - huge surprise (dripping with sarcasm)

I really hope next season is better.

And I really hope Kat does better than him in record sales, acting, whatever she wants to do.

I bet you guys are going to be so pleased that you wont have to hear my AI blogs until next season...

:)

BTW - -
I am still SOOO sick of hearing "Soul Patrol"... Who is the actual soul patrol? Are their members? Is there a membership fee?
These question haunt me... LOL I have to let it go.
Alright people. I'm spent.

5/23/2006

VOTE FOR KAT



This freakshow should get docked several MILLION votes for this jacket alone...

Guys... its ROYAL PURPLE.

"Hello, Taylor? Liberache called from the afterlife... he wants his jacket back..."
