(Don't tell my DH I just posted in Carolina Blue... he won't like it )


As for hot dogs, my DH likes the red ones and once I got used to the idea I realized that they a) are really cheap and b)are not any *more* processed than any other hot dog. Then again, he also likes 50 cent chicken pot pies. Why cook? But I did tonight.... lemon chicken and rice and salad. Also I spent my wild Friday night grading....

the only excitement was the cell phone call at 11 pm demanding to speak to DeAndre. Some chick thinks I running around with her man and her cell phone. I tried to explain that she had the wrong number but she wasn't buying that. I told her to redial since she wouldn't believe me.

Celery-

Dubbya- That is the best post ever. First the absolute adorable idea of a father and son having so much fun together. So Sweet. (Don't worry I won't tell anyone) And the great story of you asking for directions

 

[pumba]

red hot dogs are way expensive.......3.99 a lb and if we are lucky a good sale is 2.99 a lb....some are 100 percent beef and none of those yucky stuff to make it a hot dog.....we are Mainers and love them....

sun is out this morning......and I am going for a hair dye job in a few hours......I need that and a hair cut.....so I will relax and fall asleep in someone elses chairs..

hubby got up at six thirty and made coffee ...took Megara out and I reaped the benefits......

WWWOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOTY MARITA

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1700 POSTS!

Pumba - there must be different red hot dogs south of you guys.

Wheat - At least you asked for directions. We all need a little embarrasment occasionally to keep us humble.

To all the hugs and support - thank you.

I'm up early enough to actually watch videos. Kinda weird. I know they have videos on those extra channels, but I'm a purist. I want to watch MTV or VH1 without all the extra letters.
So you'll never see them on Mtv anymore, but VH1 has them occasionally.

First I watched Nelly Furtado.
Timbaland is rockin'. I guess he produced all of Nelly and Justin Timberlakes new albums.
Kinda makes you think of the artists as crap and the producer as all that. Or at least me.

Then I watched Norah Jones -
I love her! I need to buy her new album. She so beautiful and talented, but you don't hear about her.
I wonder why.
Well, my dad knows about her. He asked for her album a couple of years ago when she did that duet with Dolly Parton. It made me so proud of my dad! (He's 60 in case you guys were wondering)

Next I watched the all american rejects.
Which made me sad.
Cuz there are so many super cool bands out now and I get them all mixed up. But I know that one of them made a fool of themselves at the Mtv video awards (which I wouldn't have watched except that jt was on there and I was out of town and bored).
They were so DRUNK! or HIGH! or something! It was disgusting.
Their first major appearance and they couldn't even do it sober.
That does not bode well for them.

Next was Joss stone.
Oh my goodness! It's like Janis Joplin reincarnated only pretty and not strung out.
Have you guys heard her? She is incredible.

And now john mayer.
who I liked til I saw he KEEPS DATING Jessica Simpson. How stupid can you be? No piece of a** is worth that. Get a damn hooker.

Ok. This has been Morning Music Bites (what else can she eat?) with Amber! Thanks!!!

z. taking Cliff to a baseball card show.

What a riot. He loved it. I loved it. We spent 4 hours agonizing over which cards to buy. We talked to each and every "vendor". We haggled over price. We haggled over condition of the cards. We talked Cardinal baseball and politics. In the end we spent $75 on a trophy/plaque football card holder of Issac Bruce, a complete set of 1990 football cards. 84 individual cards of a variety of players, (mostly Rams) and Rams baseball cap. We capped the night off with a hamburger and a shake at Jack in the Box. Although I only spent $75, I would gladly spend $1075 to have that much fun with him again.

Windy, at the time you were posting your question I was probably trying to find a municipal court. Court started at 8 am. I arrived at 7:30 and knew it was held in one of two building located about a block from each other. Since I am on a diet (thank you Jill) I initially refrained from buying donuts at the local bakery located directly across from the court. Then I remembered that I could buy a dozen and bring them in for the secretaries/paralegals in our office. But, of course, who could they eat a dozen. So, while I was waiting and trying to figure out which building court would be held in I ate two, ok three, of them. They were hot glazed donuts with extar icing. Yummm.

Anyhow, I saw a secretary/clerk pull up next to me. I rolled down my window and asked where court would be held. She told me it was at the building located a block away. Then, she did it. She smiled. Now this was a very attractive looking secretary/clerk. I KNEW what that smile meant. It confirmed exactly what I had been thinking for a LONG time now. It confirmed that my wife is a lucky woman to have a catch like me. It meant I could tell her to take her DIET and shove it. Then, sadly, I looked in the mirror. I then realized what THE SMILE really meant. It meant that I should have taken one of those napkins and wiped the glaze from the glazed donuts off of my face before I rolled the window down to talk to her. I think I will stick to the friggin wheat thins from now on.

Wheat Thins

I LOVE that you were thinking you still got it when the attractive lady gave you the smile But you had doughnut extar glaze on your hunky mug!!! She probably thought you were cute like that!

The card show sounded like time well spent with your kid. I love the one one one time! Aren't the Rams football? I think you got scammed on that cap. Edited to say: Wups, I see that at a baseball card show there is also Football and general sports stuff. A little birdie just whispered that tid bit in my ear (thanks Jiminy!) Now I look like a doof. "Aren't the Rams football" (HA!!!)

We wont tell Jill about the treats. We promise.

Morning all,

Feeling a 100% better today. Thank goodness, except now I have to play catch up with house stuff and get one kid to a birthday party this afternoon.

Woooohooooty Marita!!!!!!!!!!!! on 1700 posts. I should have stayed up a little while longer.

Celery love you Music bites....

Wheat Thins sounded like you had a great time with your son. Mine is just getting into collecting cards but it is hockey and a few baseball ones. Too funny about the donuts.

Pumba what colour do you colour your hair? Are you a blonde, brunette, or red head.... Go get pampered.

Hi UMA is the car still clean and ready to go.....how many days now?

 

[UtahMama]

6 more days! And yes, the Suburban is still sparkling clean and our road snacks are in there too. I need to stay out of them.


Off to the Library!!!!

Love the baseball card story, WT. My dad used to take me when I was a kid too.

I think some of my favorite memories as a kid were when my dad would take my two brothers and me to a Reds game. We'd watch Bench, Rose, Morgan, Griffey, Concepcion, Foster. The perfect summer night, sun's setting, a warm breeze blowing... You can hear the vendors "Peanuts, popcorn," I can smell the leather in my baseball glove that I'd brought. I just KNEW I was going to catch a fly ball. Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, tied ball game, up steps the batter. The tension in the crowd is palpable. "Striiiiike one....striiiike two." And then perhaps the sweetest sound known to mankind; the crack of a Louisville Slugger. It's going, it's going, it's gone! The crowd goes wild. Dad carries me to the car, and lays me in the back seat as we listen to the post game on the radio, and I drift off to dreamland.

Sorry, for the long post, I just got swept away into my childhood

Anyway, have a great Saturday Open Mikers.

Hey, Michele! Nice to see you. Gotta run for now though. Have a good one.

Happy Saturday, everone!

Hi, Disneymama

Beautiful day here in Orlando today. The family is out at a Lacrosse game (my daughter plays). And I am peacefully WORKING . Nothing I have to do, or need to do, just because I like what I am working on. I'll have to be sure to let me boss know, LOL.

I promised to make stuffed peppers for dinner this weekend. It was my idea even! I always forget how much work that is until I get ready to do it. So I am trying to decide if I should bite the bullet today, or just put it off till tomorrow. Tomorrow is still the weekend, right?

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
