  • Karaoke was fun last night. I started off the evening winning a sweatshirt. I wanted the t-shirt that said ‘hold my hammer while I nail your girlfriend’ but the DJ wouldn’t let me have it. Instead I got the sweatshirt with  The Big Easy written across the front… It was the name of the place we were at, not a description of the wearer…

    My friend Angie did  Etta James ‘At Last’ and it was great as usual, I thought by far the best performance of the evening. When her brother’s turn rolled around he was announced and we all started pounding on the table and chanting his name, where’s Chris… he’s up. They started playing his music and Chris slides out onto the stage in a long white dress shirt, white socks, sunglasses and yes, his tightie whities. To the music of ‘Old Time Rock and Roll’… the women in the audience went wild…it was fun to see him shake his stuff, but I’m thinking ‘This is the little boy I used to take frogging???’  His Mom turned to me and said I wondered why he wanted to make sure all of that was washed. This was hysterically funny to me on two levels. 1.) It’s his Mom. 2.) He is 27 and owns his own home…why is his Mom still doing his laundry?

    Well I don’t know who won because I cut out early. I was turning into a pumpkin. Over all it was a great night. I think I’ve had my group activity fix for a couple of weeks… I definitely know I won’t miss the cigarette smoke…

    Oh, did not get hit on. But not disappointed… I know I still got it. heeheehee

    No pictures guys I’m sorry, my camera does not do well in bars… I know I’m a horrible disappointment as a Xangan…

    Don’t forget to  practice the set of pipes God gave you, remember all the world’s a stage… Ang 

     

  • HOUSE WIFE GETS TO LEAVE HOUSE>>>

    sisters I am going out tonight… NEWSFLASH… I don’t mean going grocery shopping… or late night Target trip. I mean OUT!!! I’m going to see my friends sing in a Kareoke (I have no idea how to spell that and I’m way to lazy to look it up) contest. I can’t wait to get totally stupid… I will be drinking water… although the thought of “Bring on the Mountain Dew, Bar Tender!” sounds good to me. I resolve to stand strong… Those of you who know me, know that I don’t need alcohol to get stupid.

    So that’s what I’m doing. The prize is a cruise and both of my friends Angie and her brother Chris are in the running… Our job as their friends is to be loud and obnoxious. Of course they said lets invite Ang… lol 

    MORE NEWS TO FOLLOW… Oh I wonder if anyone will hit on me besides my friend Kim… lol It’s always nice to know the magic isn’t gone. lol 

    EDIT**********************************************************

    I never said I was singing. I’m strictly cheer squad tonight.

    EDIT*********************************************

    Shackpacker tagged me and here’s my photo… I have a much better one, but I am so tired that I’m having tired doing anything today… I hope this will satisfy the TAG… until tomorrow and I’ll change it…

    I want to tell you ll everything but I’m having trouble seeing straight. lol And it’s not even midnight… all the screaming and excitement has just made me tired. lol  ang

  • BEWARE BUTTHEAD POST AHEAD>>>

    Things I have over heard today that have made me giggle… went grocery shopping first thing this morning…

    -floating over the top of the isle…woman’s voice. ” That is so HARD…” (I have no idea what this was referring too, I didn’t really need to know… )

     

    I was standing in line behind two teen girls at the check out … They looked like Farrah Faucett-Barbies. Is that look coming back?

    -one girl to the other. ” I really like your hair.”  response “Thanks, I blew it out…”

    I know, I am so going to HELL…

    I should clarify that I was able to contain myself in the grocery line…I didn’t laugh until I hit the door…

    Hope you all are finding your day as amusing as I am so far. Ang

    This is a post I did awhile ago…

    I was worried I would be this person on Friday night and I wouldn’t be able to keep up with all of the foreboding thoughts running through my head and it would explode. lol Ang

    I thought that if I stopped drinking caffine that I would sleep better… or sleep at all. lol It’s almost one a.m. and I’m still up…what’s the matter here? lol

  • yup, my head is still on my shoulders…pretty sure, yup…

    Church went well. I think Heavenly Father knows that a Sunday school teacher without caffeine is a Sunday school teacher on the edge, so all the little kiddies were on their best behavior, especially mine, which really surprised me.

    Side note:  Endorphins do wonders for caffeine withdrawal head aches.

    EDIT****************************************

    Charlie, who turned eight last Saturday, had a friend over to spend the night as a late celebration. His little friend brought Charlie a present. I thought oh isn’t that nice of his Mom. Since we weren’t really having a party a present wasn’t necessary… It was a giant gift bag and inside it contained two types of plastic swords, a bow and suction cup arrows, a set of suction cup dart guns, and a bag of marbles…
    When I first saw the swords I thought okay that’s not so bad… and then the items of torment kept coming…

    I stood there and stared at the pile of bootie as the kids started attacking each other with the swords…And my daughter was eagerly opening the dart guns. Some of the things that ran through my head were… What was she thinking!!! What did I do to her?! Why does she hate me!!!

    My head was throbbing and the sound level was rapidly increasing… I didn’t yell, I didn’t take anything away… I took the toddler upstairs and said have fun…don’t draw blood…

    If there had been blood shed, she would have only herself to blame… I didn’t leave them totally unattended… Ben was there, as I was climbing the stairs a distinctly older male voice floated up the stairwell behind me… It was shouting ENGARD…

    When I came down to face the mayhem this morning everything was pretty much in order, everyone’s digits were still attached… eyeballs were all still  intact… the house suffered minimal damage… and I managed to keep the Doomsayer at bay… I think I did ok… Just wait until his birthday…Actually do I have to wait until his birthday?  A have a Happy Christmas Vacation gift may be in order… What do you think?

  • mountain dew limonande *SIGH* I miss this…

    -my head hurts.

    -I’m tired.

    -I’m Cranky.  (I hate being cranky.)

    -I’m irritable.

    I think I’ll have a coke…I’M KIDDING…yesh…

    ang

  • So I took my children to the toy store tonight. Charlie had money, it was burning a hole in his pocket and he had plans for it… Boy that was not fun… I was thinking it would be easier to take him to the store then to listen to him keep asking to go.

    When can we go to Toys ‘R’ Us? I wanna go. Can we go now? When Can we go? When I get home from school? When Dad gets home? When can we go to Toys’R'Us?

    I don’t know. I don’t know. Later. I don’t know. Maybe… I DON”T KNOW!!

    UGH… Now I’m remembering how insane that was driving me.

    Anyway the toy store was packed… I thought people waited until the last minute to do their shopping. I guess they just waited until Charlie forced me to take him to the store. It was a phone tree… I can just picture it.

    Yup…she’s out the door the kids are in the car… Lets’ go to the store now. Yup I’ve called my ten other people did you call yours … ooo… lets load up the bus and clog the lines before she gets to the register… let’s make her suffer. You know she hates shopping… sure she says she’s patient but if I jab her in the back with my elbow enough times and shove her a couple of times She’ll crack.

    Did I mention that I haven’t had any caffeine today? I’m rereading this post thinking man am I crabby and irritable.

    HMMMM… I wonder why?

    Well Charlie got his toy and he is really happy. He didn’t use all of his money so he’s happy about that. I guess that is a good thing.  I’m going to bed.

     

  • Giving and recieving

    It was so much fun yesterday seeing if you all liked your presesnts. I can’t believe how many warm fuzzies I would get just from someone saying thank you for a thought.Or how much fun it was to read what you all would give me. Thank you for a really enjoyable day.

    I think I have always enjoyed the giving more then the receiving…I like seeing the look on someone’s face when they open my present. It’s especially fun if it is something  I made specially for them.

    Part of it is  that when I’m making a quilt or a stained glass item for someone I’m thinking of them and how much they will enjoy it…I leaf through memories in my head and the things I like about that person and the things they enjoy and what makes them who they are. I suppose I do the same thing when I’m actually shopping for someone.Christmas shopping is really the only kind of shopping I enjoy.

    So here’s my question for the day. Do you enjoy the getting or the giving more?

    Even though I enjoy the giving…I enjoy the getting too… there’s something to be said for receiving a gift from someone that is carefully chosen for you and that brings them to mind when you use it…

    See I guess I just like it all. I’m not hard to please.

     

  • because i like it

    You are The Star

    Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

    The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

    The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you’re a dreamer, but you’re not the only one.
