Alittle bit of everything!!!

Surely Feb wasn't the last time I blogged was it??........I think once you hit 30 time flies.....In my case anyway........So last time I logged on.....I was talking about me switching to IE 8......Well guess what....I'm back with IE 7......LOL.....I couldn't take it!!!


I went thru one of them car washes where it washes your car and then you get a free vacum and I always wipe my car down afterwards.....well guess what I saw??.....A scratch on the side of my car.....from my tire to the bumper.......I was pissed off.......It looks like someone was backing out and cut it too close.......No dents....but did take the paint off in 1 little spot........It could've been worse I know.......still don't make it any better thou......


Anybody out there watching ""Dancing with the stars""??......My daughter loves that show.....I record it on the DVR and then on the weekends we watch it......and WE have to act out the dancing they're doing on the show....LOL.....She told me that I'm the man and she's the girl......pretty funny coming from a 6 year old...... lets not even talk about the dancin part we do!!!!

Weekend Getaway

So Valentines weekend is right around the corner. Hubby hit me up with he needs a weekend getaway.......I said ok......what weekend??....not this weekend....but NEXT weekend....hmmm ok.....So is he playing me or what here.......I'm trying to figure out if he knows it's Valentine's Day weekend.....or he has totally forgot and don't have a clue.....He forgot didn't he??....LOL......I guess I could plan this romantic getaway and be right in the middle of all the romance and say.....So what did you get me for Valentine's Day.....LOL......That's mean huh??........I don't know that he's ever forgotten Valentines Day.......what I do know is...... there has been a time where the night before he was running around doing ""errands""..........Who knows maybe he's playing me and making me think he has a memory problem......It does seem to come and go at times....lol........I have to say I have jumped the gun before......(yea you heard me right)....what do I mean by that??.....Well this is what happened a few years ago.......I was sure hubby had forgot the love day........I get up one morning and get going.......I had hubby's valentine stuff out.....my daughter had made him a card and all....So the first thing she wanted him to do was get his valentine gifts.....and she's helping him with his gifts.....I'm getting ready to leave to take my daughter to school....and hubby all smug with no gifts pops something off at me......I say to him this is coming from the man with no valentine card to give at the very least?.....He doesn't say anything just kinda smug....I should've known something was up.....I couldn't see passed the red at the time....lol......Anyway out the door me and my daughter go.....I unlock the doors with the little clicker and my daughter runs to get in her seat....I hear her say....what's this....ohhhh what's this mommy....and all giggles......I'm walking around the car.....and about to get in when I see something in my seat......Ohhh yea you guessed it.......Hubby put our valentine stuff in our seats in the car....So how tall did I feel after that??....I don't want to even go there....LOL......I did learn a very valuable lesson from that year thou.....Valentines Day isn't over till 11:59pm.....PERIOD!!!.....Have a great day!!!

Groundhog Day

So today is Groundhog Day......and it rained like cats and dogs here.....so you know what that means for us? Early Spring woohoooo!!!........Anyway when I picked up my 6 year old from school today....I asked her if she learned about Groundhog Day??.......she looked at me like I was crazy.....So I explained it to her again (we talked about this last year) and we talked about it......I really am surprised that they didn't at least talk about it alittle today at school.....I remember when I was in elementary school we would color sheets of the groundhog and talk about if we thought he would or wouldn't see his shadow....and usually watch the news that morning to see if he did or not.....and learn about the groundhog and Groundhog Day......I guess it being a holiday isn't important enough anymore.......Happy GHD!!!

Just plain rude!!

What prompts people to come to your house and complain about something IN your house.....what is wrong with people these days??.....I would never do that......I might think that just isn't my style or whatever.......but just throw it out there like that.......Yea that is exactly what happened to me last night.....Company shows up out of the blue........I have snowmen out......this is Jan right??......Little one loves them.....anyway.....The ""woman"" says......you still have snowmen out???.......AAA Yea........and then she says on top of that.....You going to keep them out till Nov??....What the hell!!!......Did she just attack me in my own home??.....Yea I think she did.........I said it is Jan you know........and if I decide to keep them out till till dooms day......it's none of your business.........It really pissed me off.......can you believe people???....I'm usually not rude to company......but once they cross that line of attack....I feel like they're fair game.......I hope I wasn't out of line.....maybe I should have bite my tongue...hmmmm.....NOT!!!.....Have a great day!!!

Song of the Night!!!

I love this song ""1985"" by Bowling for Soup""


Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo

Debbie just hit the wall, she never had it all
One Prozac a day, husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned twenty-four
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan

She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass
On the hood of White Snake's car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing has been alright

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo
(1985)
Woohoohoo

She's seen all the classics, she knows every line
'Breakfast Club', 'Pretty in Pink'
Even 'St. Elmo's Fire'
She rocked out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran

Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
When did reality become TV
Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows
On the radio was

Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo

She hates time, make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock
And when did Ozzy become an actor
Please make this stop, stop
Stop, and bring back

Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 1985

Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Secrets hmmmm........I was thinking about how everybody has secrets rather they are small or big......We all have something we don't like about our self that we keep a secret or that secret that a friend told you.....and then the secret crush....maybe a secret code name on here.....a secret nickname from elementary school....that you never want to hear again......Once you stop and think about it.....the list goes on and on and on......Bottom line is we all have some kind of secret.....The secrets we keep is what forms us in life.....at least in my experience it is.......Every secret I've ever had.....has had a impact on my life in one way or another good or bad.......Like when I was pregnant with my daughter....I kept it a secret for months.....That was a major impact on my life and still is....lol......I look back on that time almost 7 years ago and think...why did I keep that a secret?... It isn't like I could keep it a secret forever anyway...lol.....I did tell my husband thou.....but no other family members knew for months.....I was married,we owned our own home, money was good......but for some reason I wanted to keep it a secret......still not sure why till this day....other than at the time it was a big deal to me....To keep it a SECRET!!!.......I know ya'll wanted to hear about one of my deep dark secrets.......OK I guess I can do that.......or on second thought NOT....LOL.......I know you didn't really think I was going to do that did ya??.....No sense in boring you with that!!!......SMILE

Checking in

Yea I'm still alive.......really been busy.....amazing how much kids get you into.....and for me I'm in over my head....lol......It's all fun thou as we head right into the holidays......I know nobody wants to hear that.....I'm ready to get it going....I'm putting my tree up early and already bought alot of gifts.......I love this time of year and with a 6 year old it's so much better.......You know it's not about the gifts anymore when you have kids of your own......It's all about them......seeing their face on x-mas morning.......spending time with family members you see only once a year......going down memory lane.....somebody going to bring up something about you from the past.....Rather it being that time you got potatoes everywhere......because your brother lifted up the mixer before it stopped.....Or that time when it was raining and you fell in a mud puddle......or that time you broke up with a boyfriend in front of the whole family on Thanksgiving Day......There's always going to be something that somebody remembers and brings up......that you wished would just disappear......I think they spend all year to think of the worst thing they can and to see who can remember the most embarrassing thing about each other......And to think I love this time of year......what's wrong with me??....LOL.....Everybody have a great Halloween!!!
