Wow, haven't reported in since March... It could be that I'm lazy or that my life is so boring that I can go MONTHS without anything of interest happening... Sorry Fan (yes, singular, not plural) I'll try to keep my blog updated...

A funny thing happened at the dinner table at Arby's... This is a conversation between my mother, me, my son and my husband...

Mom: "Your Dad and I are thinking of getting seperate rooms"
Me: "I hate when old people do that, why do they do that?"
Mom: "We both snore and wake each other up, he comes to bed 2 hours after me and besides, it's not like we have sex anymore!"

Silence... Realization dawning on Justin...

Justin: "YOU AND GRANDPA HAD SEX!!!!"
Me: Dumbfounded... rendered speechless (which is hard to do)
Mom: "I know, Emagine that"
Me: "Where do you think I came from"
Justin: "YOU HAVE TO HAVE SEX TO HAVE KIDS!!!" (yes, he's talking in a LOUD voice)
Me: nodding my head, regretting this conversation already...
Justin: "THAT MEANS YOU AND MY DAD HAD SEX"

pause....

Justin: "THAT MEANS SHELLY AND MY DAD HAD SEX"

pause...

Brad: (trying to curve the conversation)... "Notice, Justin that your mom and I don't have any kids together"
Justin: "IT'S A GOOD THING, BRAD, CUZ IF YOU AND MY MOM HAD SEX, YOU'D BREAK HER BONES"...

I've totally lost control... Gotta love kids... ;oP

Sigh... I need an Edward...

So, I'm finally getting around to reading the Twilight series books... I know, I know, I'm behind the times and need to catch up. However, in my defense, I figured seeing as my niece and sisters (whom I love so) already dragged me to the movie I didn't need to hurry and read the book... With this being said... I am now wondering why the heck I waited so long to read this book!!! Not only am I a vampire fanatic, I am also a "closet" hopeless romantic (don't let that last part get around... I have a rep to protect)... and this book has BOTH!!! Anyway... As I stated... I need an Edward. Now this is not to say that my wonderful husband is not and Edward unto himself, but lets face facts, he's no vampire who can dent a car with his body to save me from being squished!!!! I do, however feel I should add a discloser to this here post by reiterating that I need an Edward... Not just any vampire... Knowing my luck, if I hadn't specified this last part, a vampire would be reading this post and swoop into my room at night to drain me of my life... Now back to Edward... I need one...

LOVE YOU BRADFORD!!!

I thought I'd share some of my favorite thoughts and/or excerpts from books that I like... Some I have as 'unknown' however, if anyone knows who might have written them, please let me know so that i can give credit where credit is due! Hope you enjoy and even find some you may want to write in your own 'thought books' (that is if you have a thought book) =)

I always like the time before dawn when no one is around to tell me who to be so that I can remember who I am - Unknown

I am down today, not sure why... Just a depressed state of mind I suppose. The weather is bleak... AGAIN. The few days of sunshine, though I am grateful for them, were not enough to clear my mood. I hate this time of year, the holiday's are over and there is nothing but dead trees, dead leaves, dead flowers, dead... dead... dead... I need sunshine, spring flowers, children's laughter on the streets, that God-awful music the ice cream truck plays... Yes, though I loath it entirely... I need it. I need the smell of a freshly mowed lawn, the sound of a riverbed in the mountains, the chirping of the birds and the rustle of the trees when the cool wind blows on warm spring day. I need new life to spring from the roots of this beautiful world.... Boy... Now I've depressed us all... Sorry about that...

Here is a nice picture to lighten our mood...

I have a cold sore...

I'd like to try to pretend I don't have a cold sore and that nobody else I come in contact with notices that I have a cold sore. For the most part, this delusion of mine proves satisfying... However - and without fail - along comes a tactless person who says (with a disgusted look on their face as if my lip were host to the one thing that is sure to end life as we know it) "What's on you lip" (and at which point, time stops and I imagine myself sticking a letter opener in there eye). It is then that I realize just how rude some people can actually get. To me, asking someone "what's on you lip" when they CLEARLY know what it is, is just their way of embarrassing you for no reason what-so-ever… I’ve seen people with humongous zits on the tip of their nose, but I don’t go up to them and ask them what is on the tip of their nose because
A) I know what is on the tip of their nose
B) THEY know what is on the tip of their nose and most likely have the same hopeless delusions as I do and are praying and convincing themselves that no one actually notices it
C)I’m just not that mean
So I am here to tell you all, though I am sure none of you do this, because you are all lovely people, that pointing out someone’s imperfections is just mean… and I don’t like it… And now I’m going to go bury my head in the sand and cry!!!

Goodbye…

So I've just had an Epiphany!!! In order to get ahead in my company, you have to work a total of 2 hours and sleep the other 6... Oh, and you have to call in and invent some wild story about how a mouse came in at night and nibbled off your big toe while you slept... I'm not by any means bitter about this situation... More or less just upset that it has eluded me for the last 15 years, but; I digress... At least I still have a job... for now...

Not much more to say today… So I am off… Boy I’m a boring blogger…

BTW... The red font is to add to the anger I have boiling inside me... I thought it was a nice touch...

2009-02-12T20:23:00.001-07:00

GRRRR.... I just typed out a whole spill and lost it!!! GRR GRR GRR....

Anywho, as I was saying... Valentines Day is here again (or 'single awareness day') as my sister likes to refer to it... and Bradford has something nice planned (it's a secret, so I don't even know what it is...) I'm excited, it's so nice to have a husband that actually cares for me and loves me like a husband should... and I love him in return as a wife should... Such a great feeling... I know, I know... Blah, blah, blah... Sap, sap... Moving on...

Justin asked me to be his valentine today... I so eagerly said YES!!! It won't be too many more years now that he'll refuse to admit he loves me so I'm living it up while I can!!!

Work has me stressed!!!! They are looking to layoff (just like everyone else...) so I'm not sure if I'll have a job by June... Gotta hope for the best and have faith that it will all work out, no matter what happens... Tell that to my nerves though... They are SHOT!!! It's hard to go to work and put forth 110% when your not even sure you'll be there in a few months or not... But, alas, because my parents raised me right, I go and give the best I can give anyway and hope for the best. Wish me luck!!!

Ta ta for now...

So I'm trying to be healthier, drink more water, less DP and cut out the snacking... Figure if I trick myself into being more careful about my food choices instead of out right dieting, it might just work turns out I'm entirely too smart for my own good and I'm not fooling myself in the least. I'm thinking this 'tricking your body' thing is a lot like fighting with God... You're never gonna win.

What I really need is to find my 'inspirational story' - ya know the one the skinny people talk about on TV... "It was when I woke up to find the wood beams of my bed given way under my weight that I finally decided to do something about it... blah, blah, blah" Yeah, one of those stories, maybe then I'd finally have the motive to actually go full force on this thing and lose the weight.

But, alas, as it stands, the junk food is just too tempting and I can actually hear the DP calling my name... It really is a shame...

P.S... I was actually eating a sugar donut while writing this post... Can you believe it...? I'm doomed!

2009-01-18T18:44:00.002-07:00

So I can't believe it's already Sunday night... Where do my weekends go? I have to admit, I have absolutely nothing of interest to say today but I figured I ought to write something for my adoring fan club (all 3 of you...;oP) My sweetest boy, Justin, got 100% on his last spelling test, which is a wonderful thing as spelling is one of the hardest things for him... I'm so proud. He also went with his dad this weekend to see Walking with Dinosaurs... He had a great time, wish I could have gone with him.
On a separate note, I went to Pine Needles this weekend at Gardner Village and got THE CUTEST mini crosstitch but was unable to find the linen needed to complete it, but no worries, this crosstitch woe would only hinder my progress if I were my sweet sister, Alexis, but as I don't have to have it exact, I went with a different color and thread count (try to move on Lexie, do not linger here...;oP) and it turned out just great! Well, that is all I have to say... Love to all...

2009-01-06T17:12:00.004-07:00

So I'm getting flack from my "fans" ;o) for being an absolute lazy butt when it comes to my blogging so I decided to, well... Blog...

Holidays were amazing and my time off from work to play "Stay at Home Mom" was completely and utterly wonderful!!! But... Reality has a big fat hand that likes to slap me across the face, so alas... I am now back to the good ol' nine to five (OK so it's 7 - 3:30 so you get what I mean) either way, it's hell and I work in it... ANYWHO!!! I'm so very excited to say that my puppy graduated from puppy school last Saturday and I've included some pics for your enjoyment... Dogs are great... They bring a smile to my face on the worst of days... I do, however, wish God didn't make their teeth so sharp ;o) Here are the pics... Hope you enjoy...

Christmas shopping today with my sister and mom... Always a nice treat. It's so great to get out and shop, if only I had the money to buy everything I wanted to buy for everyone I wanted to buy for... Oh well, guess its home made cookies and divinity again for those wonderful friends of mine! It's the thought that counts...

On a crazy note, my sweet little dog and I sort of ran into each other Saturday night (I was leaning down when he was jumping up...) Anyway, somehow his tooth hit my nose just right and the next thing I knew, I had blood spurting out of my nose! Needless to say, I panicked (weird, I know, cuz I almost never panic, lol) I ran to the bathroom screaming "my nose is gone, my nose is gone!" while my dog looked at me like I was crazy... I proceeded to try and stop the bleeding and take a look at my nose-less face when I realized the cut was very, very small, yet very, very deep but my nose, was in fact, still intact! Hallelujah!!! So, off to the urgent care clinic we go, we arrived at 10:02 just in time to see that they close at 10:00, we then headed over to the other urgent care clinic I knew about but they closed at 9:00...(What the heck kind of emergency clinic closes at 9:00/10:00 - Do noses normally only get ripped off before then so they think it's safe to go ahead and close up shop after then???) Anywho, after that, we decided to go home seeing as I didn't want to spend 15 hours in the hospitals emergency room for one stitch (seriously... It's that small of a cut...) Sides, stitches on the tip of my nose... REALLY??? ok so vanity played a part in this decision, but can you really blame me?? Anywho, my poor nose hurts like a Son-B and I have been soaking it in peroxide. I also discovered the liquid band aid... This has got to be the greatest thing invented!!! You should check it out! Anywho, that's my latest adventure... Until next time!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

2008-12-04T20:00:00.007-07:00

Busy making Christmas cards, here are a few I've done. I LOVE this time of year

2008-11-22T07:34:00.002-07:00

Meet Moose...

He's my adorable, chocolate Lab, but don't let this adorable face fool you... He's got mischief behind those 'puppy dog' eyes and I've got the bite marks to prove it. For some reason, little Moose here, has decided that my hands are his favorite toy. Don't get me wrong, I adore this puppy to the fullest extent or adoration, but he is, none-the-less, a pain in my big butt! My sister keeps threatening to steal him from me but personally, I don't think she could last a day ;o) I also think he may be deaf, at least when it comes to my voice, as he doesn't listen to a word I say and only wants to 'affectionately' bite me and play with his other toys upon my lap, yes, that's right, he gets a toy, puts his front paws on my lap and proceeds to play with his toy... It's the cutest thing, but very strange indeed. Daddy seems to be able to get his full attention and he performs trick after trick for him... He's shakes, speaks, sits and stays, but only for Daddy... I suppose, in little Moosy-Moose's eyes, I'm just one giant toy to be conquered!

2008-11-13T18:11:00.004-07:00

Heading off to the TSO concert tonight with my favorite people... I am so stoked! I'm some what disappointed that it's coming before Thanksgiving this year but, hey, it's TSO!! I can't wait to get an eye full of Angus... SO HOT!!! Also, my sis is looking for a clever name for her blog... Any suggestions?

2008-11-09T20:23:00.003-07:00

So I'm officially a blogger, now I just need to worry about what to say and who will actually read it. I thought I'd use this blog to write some of my thoughts and feeling and share some of my poetry and pics. I hope you enjoy reading it and I hope you'll return.

More to come...
