Just the Two of Us... Dr. Evil's way



And in a related story:

Interview With a (Weird) Blogger

I agreed to be interviewed by two bloggers, Julia and Chelle. I am going to answer Julia's questions here since she asked an odd question (#3) and I have an odd answer with a few photos wouldn't you know?! And Chelle, I haven't forgotten you, I'll get to your questions soon.

1. What are your favorite shoes to wear - or do you prefer to be barefoot?

I used to prefer to go barefoot but then I discovered that I don't get to either sweep or vacuum my floors as often as they need it and they tend to get crunchy because my children are messy and lazy (they don't sweep or vacuum either) and I HATE to step on crunchy stuff barefooted so now I wear shoes. I prefer something comfortable that I can slip into easily. If you know of a shoe that I might like, let me know! I'm always looking.

2. What is the greatest lesson life has taught you?

Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. (whether you want to be stronger or not!) I love the saying in the movie "Aladdin" when Aladdin says something to the effect that "It's amazing what you can live through!" after realizing that even though a genie can't kill you, he can sure hurt you! I've been so amazed at the things I've lived through in this life and the pain I have felt watching my daughter struggle with her medical problems. I've had people mention that I'm a very strong person. Well, I have to be strong... I don't necessarily want to be. It also helps to have support from loved ones and a sense of humor. Check the next question.

3. What is the oddest thing you have done?

Here's the fun stuff. hehe... People usually see my reserved, serious side but I really can be a nut, too. Before I cut all my hair off last week my husband took some picture of me being silly. I used to do "Cousin Itt" imitations. Jessica got in on the fun too. I can't believe I am posting these amazingly strange pictures but hey, you asked for it!
Karl said that the first picture looked like he had taken a picture of the back of my head with sunglasses so I put my hands up by my face so you could see it really wasn't the back of my head. That is my long hair brought up and over my head and over my face. Yeah, I know... I'm weird.

Yikes! I can hardly breathe in here! See? It really wasn't a stunt... I wonder how Cousin Itt can stand it?

Jessica wanted in on the action. Her hair wasn't as long or as thick as mine but hey, we had fun. At least you can't see how blue she is, right?



4. If you were to dye your hair some other color than typical hair color (ie, blond, black, etc. would be typical) what color/s would you go for?

I confess, I do color my hair but it is a typical hair color. I guess I would have to go for pink. I love pink and so does Jessica.

5. Can you roll your tongue?

Hey, what else do you expect at 4:00am?! ROFL!

When Hallmark Writers Have a Bad Day:

Ever wondered what happens when Hallmark writers are having a bad day?


My tire was thumping.
I thought it was flat
When I looked at the tire...
I noticed your cat.

Sorry!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heard your wife left you,
How upset you must be.
But don't fret about it...
She moved in with me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Congratulations on your wedding day!

Too bad no one likes your husband.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How could two people as beautiful as you

Have such an ugly baby?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've always wanted to have
someone to hold,
someone to love.

After having met you ...
I've changed my mind.

----------------------------------------------------------
I must admit, you brought Religion into my life.

I never believed in Hell until I met you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am...

That you're not here to ruin it for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Congratulations on your promotion.

Before you go...

Would you like to take this knife out of my back?

You'll probably need it again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Happy Birthday, Uncle Dad!

(Available only in Tennessee, Kentucky & West Virginia)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we were together,
you always said you'd die for me.

Now that we've broken up,
I think it's time you kept your promise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have been friends for a very long time ..
………let's say we stop?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm so miserable without you
……..it's almost like you're here.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.

Did you ever find out who the father was?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your friends and I wanted to do
something special for your birthday.

So we're having you put to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So your daughter's a hooker,
and it spoiled your day.

Look at the bright side,
it's really good pay.

Hoppy Easter

I saw an Easter card several years ago with a cute little bunny hopping around, delivering easter eggs with the saying, "Hoppy Easter" and I've liked saying it ever since. I googled 'easter bunny pictures' and found this:


YIKES! That dude is scary! I am shocked that little girl isn't kicking and screaming. So I'm going to post a picture of our very own bunny, Mary. She's actually Jessica's bunny named Mary Elizabeth Potter after Jessica's character, Mary Potter, Harry's long-lost sister. Isn't she cute?

Musical Monday

I'm a little late posting this but better late than pregnant never, right? Here's to all my wacky cyber and 3-dimensional friends:

Visions of dead flowers, broken chocolate and a handmade card

My dear cyber-friend, Mary, had a vision that dead flowers, broken chocolate and a handmade card were in my future. How right she was!

Here are the dead flowers and broken chocolate. The dead flowers are much more beautiful (and functional) than I would have envisioned!

The flowers are PENS! How clever is that?!



Only the chocolate wasn't broken when it arrived, it was melted! So I put it into a plastic bag and into the fridge it went. Later I got it out and here's what it looked like:





Of course I couldn't let the chocolate just sit there, it could melt again! There were starving wolves children laying prey so I had to throw them little pieces of chocolate to keep them from attacking me... so after a few minutes, the chocolate really was broken:


But like I told Mary, I love chocolate in any shape... and it was good.

Here are the dead flowers with the beautiful handmade card:


Thanks Mary, you really made my day!

and has been seen wearing a toga.

Scary 'Mary Poppins' Trailer: THE ORIGINAL

This is what I expected the first time I saw Mary Poppins for the first time as a child. I wasn't sure whether it was a friendly movie or a scary one. Enjoy:

The Mommy Test

We all get those emails that pop into our mailboxes every day that have been forwarded a bijillion times. I skim over them and some I delete but a few jump out at me as being really cute or funny. Some, like the following one, is true. Enjoy:

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" my daughter asked.

"Because it's been lying outside, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?"

"Uh," ...I was thinking quickly, "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."

We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.

"OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy."

"Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face and joy in my heart.

Back Again

So I decided to revive this blog. It took a bit of CPR and a few jolts from the paddles but it is back. I have a few family members and friends who follow my other blog mainly to keep up with Jess and the rest of the family and I don't want to discourage them from visiting that blog. I'll post some interesting things there but for other silliness I think I'll post here.

I think my funny bone has been injured and needs mending... this just might be the place to do it. It's been a rough winter with Jess not doing very well and my health has been crap. I hear that laughter is the best medicine so I figured I could give it a try. Also, my mom just had a knee replacement last week and is doing a lot of physical therapy and exercises on her knee. The same goes for my funny bone: I need to exercise it and you guys need to help!

So bring it on!

Just remember this blog is rated G...
ok, you twisted my arm... rated PG. ;)

Rude or funny?

So I have this friend... yes, it really is a friend and not me... who had his tongue pierced and then accidentally swallowed it (the post, not his tongue). Then he sends out an email saying, "suppose someone hypothetically swallows a tongue ring, could it hurt him?" LOL! Too funny. Well, that story has come up again and it is still funny! Am I rude? I think not. It's not like I was there when it happened and laughed.... I just laughed later.

Cat - - - or another kid?

Why is it that whenever my cat, Charlie, wants attention he claws at the furniture or does something else bad? Is he watching my kids and taking lessons from them? lol! Also, almost every night he turns into a spaz when I am busy trying to get Jess settled and into bed... he competes for my attention?

Did I really want another kid? NO! I wanted a cat who would curl up on my lap when I want to sit and watch tv. Charlie does NOT like to be held. EVER. He is nervous about every little noise and all strangers. If we have company over I have to lock him in my bedroom or he really spazzes out and it's not pretty.

So... no curling up on my lap. :*(

Although when I get out my scrapbooking he will come over and smell everything... gotta make sure it all meets with his approval. He will also play with the tail of the tape runner (those of you CM scrapbookers will know what that is). Whenever I get a CM order in and I go through it and organize my product and put orders together, he is right there, "helping" me. lol

That's Charlie... a perpetual toddler who gets into trouble to get attention and thinks it's funny to run away when being scolded. Oh yeah, he likes to tip over cups and play in the water that spills.... likes to play in the water as it trickles out of the bathtub faucet - then he drinks it.... his favorite toys are twist-ties and the plastic part that comes off when you open a gallon of milk... swat the fly, chase and eat the cricket are some of his most popular games... and trying to keep Mary (the bunny) in line is his most difficult job. (Don't worry, we don't ever let Mary run around the house unless she is closely supervised - and even then only for a few minutes).

These are just some late night observances. Mr. Charlie just attacked my recliner. I think I will feed him and go to bed.

trying this thing out

I'm trying to find a really cool template. I thought I found a site where I could get a different one but they won't download properly. bummer.
