I dunno...

I really want to be a better blogger. I have lots to share. Just don't make time to share it. Darn it.

Why isn't your upper lip moving?

We were at a restaurant and this lady was talking, eating, and minding her own business. I guess I should have been minding my own business instead of just gawking at her. I was hypnotized by her stiff lip. She must have had tons of botox. It was so distracting AND unattractive. Half her face didn't move. Neither did my eyes. I couldn't stop staring.

Honestly, I have always thought that I would be a botox user one day. I am not opposed to cosmetic procedures. After watching her....I don't ever want my mouth to look like that! Sheesh.

So, what did I do? I took a picture to post on my blog. Of course I did!! Wouldn't she just be pissed!?? What does she expect? Of course people are going to oogle and stare. She looked like a freak. The photo doesn't show the full effect. I wish it did. Maybe I should have taken video instead.

After looking at the photo I think her nose has had some work too.

I know, I know....find something better to do. I'm working on it. It's not nice to make fun of people!

PS. If this woman is someone you know and love please suggest that she scale back on the botox. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

I have nothing to say. Don't be so surprised.

How many?? Crazy lady Octuplet mom Nadya Suleman

So what do you all think of this? It's sorta nuts don't ya think. Okay, so I get that it's not up to us to decide who can and who cannot have children. It's also not up to us how many we add to our families. BUT....seriously...how many at once do you need?

I've heard the reasons why people are talking about this women. They say shes unbalanced. They say the doctors were acting in an irresponsible dangerous way. They should not implant six embryos at once. Of those six, two multiplied and she ended up with eight babies! Yikes!

People are upset that she is single, no earned income, sucks off her parents and so on. I have to admit, it all sounds really bad. Sounds confusing and overwhelming to think of the money and living situation.

She has hired a publicists to help find book deals, tv appearances, and maybe even her own show. No thanks.

This is my question. Why hasn't anyone complained about the McCaughey (McCoy) Septuplets from 1997 or Kate Gosselin and her show? No one has mentioned that these ladies had pregnancies that resulted in a mass birth. Maybe the difference is Bobbi Mccaughey and Kate Gosselin had multiples due to fertility drugs, NOT embryos that were implanted. How about the Duggers and having 17+ biological children in one family? That's sorta weird too.

The Gosselin and Dugger families have shows, press, books, magazine covers etc.... That's how they make their income. The Gosselin family of 8 kids and both parents receive free trips and other perks. I remember the McCaughey family receiving a 15 passenger van and the community built them a larger home. Is that what this lady is counting on? She may be waiting a while.

I don't like the fact that she cannot support 14 kids and wants student loans and grants to finish her masters degree. Her own mother has bad mouthed her. Who is going to watch these kids while she sucks off Pell grants?

Last but not least. This Nadya Suleman has obviously had some bad plastic surgery. It's not cute. I have heard so many people say that she is trying to look like Angelina Jolie. I can see what they mean. This lady needs some help. She is no Angelina. Maybe her ugly sister. Sorry.

Here is a link to a video clip interview with the Today Show.

Scary and sad.

This is something that I had never seen until recent weeks. In the newspaper there are multiple pages of legal notices from mortgage companies that are foreclosing on homes. These notices show the amount owed, the names, and address of the poor folks. How sad, scary, stressful and embarrassing.

Now I know that there are the people who fibbed on the loan applications and said they made more income than they actually did. Shame on them. They got in over their heads and couldn't pay for the big bucks house.

There are also those people who were doing fine and making a living. Then they may have lost their job and now they are behind in payments.

Sad, sad, SAD. Anyway you look at it, it's just ugly. Terrible. These are young people, middle aged people, people with kids and people who were going to retire. What a mess.

I can only pray that our family never has to feel the pain of loosing our home. I also pray that no one I know has to suffer such a stressful fall.

Okay, enough depressing stuff. Let's talk about something cheerful. ...... Hmmmm. My dog is cute!

I know. I know. I haven't been tending to my blog. I have been a bad blogger.

No good excuses. Just lazy and busy.

I know, how can you be lazy and busy all at once? Somehow I manage to do both. If I am not busy then I am being lazy. In turn I end up with no posts on the blog.

I can tell you that I blogged for our local paper. That was fun. I wrote for them twice in September. They printed a little bit from one day and printed everything I wrote from the second day. Pretty cool huh?

All I know is that I always feel like I am playing catch up. Today was so beautiful and I spent it shuffling papers and cleaning the office.

What I really want to do is scrapbook and play with stamps. You know, crafty sorta stuff.

Alright, that's enough for now. I will try to get some stuff up on the blog soon. You all take care.

Foot in mouth disease.

I have a case of foot in mouth disease.

First let me say that I don't think I have many haters or enemies. If I do they are kind enough to be nice to my face.

I ran into an old friend at the grocery store. This old friend really, really dislikes me. She thinks I did something towards her, against her, to her...whatever. Any ways whatever it is, I didn't do it. She has totally misunderstood the whole situation.

When she saw me I said hello. She turned beat red and said "oh great, this is my luck day." I sorta approached her to maybe have the chance of a reasonable conversation. She started talking very loudly to draw attention. She was saying that she would never forgive me, don't even think it will ever be the same, and that I have betrayed her.

I don't hate her. I feel sorry for her. I do wish we could talk. So, I tried to talk. When I did..I screwed it up BAD! Of all the things I could have said....I said the wrong thing. I feel like such a heel. What a jerk. Instead of maybe having a chance to make things civil I made it worse. I totally added fuel to her fire. I could just kick myself. I ruined my opportunity to make a moment of peace.

Great. Now what? Don't you ever wish you could do a conversation over? Don't you ever play the "I shoulda' said" game?

Do I send a card or something? I probably should just forget it. It's really over with now.

Thanks for reading my rant.

A different kind of wedding.

Now I know not everyone will appreciate this posting. Some people have super strong feelings one way or the other. So be it.

Well, I went to a gay wedding. Yep you're read correctly. I went to see two men "tie the knot". I guess it's called a commitment ceremony.

My sister in law was invited as a guest and brought me along as her date. I didn't know these two men. It didn't matter. I had to go watch. Sorta like a reality show. I have to say that I was curious how the whole thing would be pulled off. Would there be one in a dress? Would it be like a traditional wedding? Who walks them down the isle? Would there be rings and a KISS?

As we were going to the roof top of this building to watch the ceremony I realized that we were in the elevator with lesbians. I think they thought my sister in law and I were "together". Yikes. Well, if that's the case I hope they thought I was the girl!! LOL.

Any way. There were no dresses. They wore matching suites. A mother and sister walked them down the isle. There was a song, a minister of some sort, rings, and even a kiss. I have to say that I didn't think the kiss would bother me. Well, it sorta did. It went on a bit to long.
The reception was normal with toasts, music, and cake. The food was really good! We pretty much ate and ran.

Overall I would say the whole experience was like any wedding. ..except with two guys. People were genuinely happy for them. They seemed "in love". There was nothing that caught me with my mouth hanging open. They were just two PEOPLE who want to have a committed life together.

Lemme tell ya.

Lemme tell ya. I have been so busy with hairdo's, lashes, and life.

We are going camping. This means that I work my butt off the week before AND the week after our trip. I have to cram everyone in or they freak out.

I am really looking forward to being a vegetable. That is what I am hoping for any ways. I don't want to take any major hikes or strenuous bike rides. I just want to sit there with a book and a marshmallow roasting on a stick.

I know, I know, not likely to happen. Somehow I will get sucked in by my boys. I can see it now. Me, the mountain bike, the not so cute helmet and sweat rolling down my neck. My butt checks bruising, my tummy growling, and my body aching. Oh well. I have to look on the bright side....I need the exercise.

So, have an easy week. I hope to blog like a mad women when I return. Take care.

Today. Sun, toilet, and tears. Oh my.

I need to talk about my day.

I got the kids off to VBS. It's not fun to get up like it's school hours.

My husband had the day off so after VBS we went to Wild Waves Water Park. I once again contributed to getting age spots and wrinkles. I cooked in the sun and then felt guilty about it. When we were leaving my stomach felt really BAD.

Got home and drug myself to the shower. Ended up spending some quality time in the bathroom with my sick tummy. Yuck. Must've been that funnel cake with strawberries and whip cream OR was it those healthy nachos?

Got my self pulled together and called my mother to apologize for something I said yesterday. She started out calm and rational and ended up screaming at me. She was apparently not ready to accept my apology and just wanted to give me a list of all the crappy things I have done. It was also a chance to rehash why she is so kind and wonderful and she doesn't understand why no one can see how sweet she is. I ended up bawling and just letting her know I couldn't carry on any more of a conversation and hung up.

So, got up early, visited the toilet, and my mom freaks out. BUT...the boys had a really good time. Thank goodness.

I am exhausted.

Thanks for taking the time to be a friend and reading my lame problems.

More fun than I thought.

When my husband wanted to take the boys to the NHRA drag races I was a bit worried. I thought about the crowds, the heat, my kids being hungry, them wanting to use the restroom, etc...

I know I am a bit of a control freak. To prove how much of a freak I am I decided that I would go along. NOT to see the races but to make sure my husband was looking after the boys. Making sure the boys were not getting sun burnt. Making sure the boys were not hungry. Just making sure they didn't get lost. I obviously had complete confidence in my husband.

Well, I went. Everyone was fine. AND....I had a really good time!! It was so FUN!!!! I know, like I said, FREAK!

Take a peek at the photos. Thoughts please.

The drivers pictured are Ashley Force (John Forces daughter), Antron Brown, Gary Schelzi, Brandon Bernstein, and Tony Pedregon.

Just a tired rant.

Oh man. I am soooo tired. I went to bed late then I ended up waking up at 1AM with my stomach turning. We had gone to Claim Jumpers for a retirement party and apparently my dinner did not sit well with me. I ended up throwing up and tossing and turning for a long time before drifting off to sleep. I was wiped out this morning. My poor kids must think I am the grumpiest mom ever. So, yuck. That's all I can say..YUCK. I have to work all day too. I can't wait to rest my head on my cold pillow.

Have an easy day.
