Some family news
Thursday, January 29, 2009
FYI, The superintendant, Stan Mack, outright lies. He insinuates that my dear step-son mooned the class when all that happend was he accidentally flashed when bending to pick up a pencil from the floor. The teacher, the asst. principal and the principal ALL agree it was an accident.
Anyone know if we can sue the superintendant for defamation?
Also, this was a first offense and the school policy calls for a WARNING and gives no other reasons to deviate from that policy. When you say "pants at the waist" and a kid accidentally flashes what is below that...then write that into your policy.

Next, jam itallian sausage of your choice over the top:
Fill with cooked bacon:
Roll, Roll, Roll your sausage...
Roll the bacon round and throw it in the smoker...
GLAZE
Wish you came up with this idea and grin anyway
Cut, Serve, Call the heart surgeon.
then if you live in my house furiously get rid of the stench of smoked bacon/sausage roll, or "Bacon Explosion"
I love winter, but this is funny.

Sair
Sunday, January 18, 2009
Sair- bear is the most independant woman I know. And I like to believe that I and my family had at least 15 percent of a hand in that. We were talking a lot today and it made me think about it....
So, why do I think I have ANY thing to do with how independant this girl/woman is?
My mom and her get along so well - she usually drops everything when it comes to her.
Her views on love mimic mine
She gets along great with all her male relatives - I do not know ONE that she has major problems controlling with a witty comment or sideways glance, including my goofy brother...
I LOVE HOW MEAN SHE IS TO HER BOYFRIENDS...she is just how I want her to be, they are worshiping her and NOT vice versa.
She pities the girls who fall all over her little brother...although he is not bad to them, he is a bit of a play-er.
This is the girl who in third grade said - "I like divorce."
me: "okay, why?"
her: " because then you get more people who love you and care about you. More grandpa's and grandma's, aunts, uncles, everybody! It is awesome."
me: "yes you do."
isn't she awesome?
In the Spirit...

The Rules:

2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
*********************************
Six random things................
1) I am missing four adult teeth. Yes, this is really random isn't it? I do not have eyeteeth or two bottom molars for no reason other than they NEVER WERE EVER THERE! I had the corresponding baby teeth, but not the adult teeth. So I had to have braces to close the gaps and they filed two teeth so they looked like eyeteeth and people would not wonder what exactly was "off" about my smile.
2) I love the cold. No, I am serious...it does not bother me ONE LITTLE TINY BIT when the weather is super-duper cold. Now, I do not spend a lot of time outside in this sub-zero weather we have lately (MINUS 20 this morning as I drove to the Y at 4:45am) but I like it WAY better than hot. Which leads us to number...
3) I HATE TO SWEAT if I am not working out. Seriously it is terrible for me to sweat because it comes out my head and makes my fine, thin, blonde hair damp and dirty looking. If I am just sitting there and it is so hot I sweat...forgetaboutit.
4) I wish T-bone would eat squash and sweet potatoes. Yes, very random...but he absolutely hates any type of root veggie that is not a russet, red, or yukon gold - and all squashes. I always find cool recipes, then see 1/2 cup zucchini, and have to move on...or substitute.
5) My New Year's Resolution is to try and be positive, focus on the positive - it is tough and I only told my mom before today.
6) I loved loved loved loved every minute of being pregnant. I would do it again in a second - I loved eating, working out, being so tired on Friday night I rarely was able to watch What Not to Wear on television and usually fell asleep while watching. It was awesome and I was super jealous when my pal Faux Martha had a second so fast...I wished I could do it again too. But, I hated the "medically challenged" method I had to use to get pregnant - sooooo, no go. Well, that and we have two other kids, my steps are pretty fun too & three is quite enough.
So, there you go six randoms about ME!
To tag SIX people I need to tag some that may not know me very well -

My Personal Top Ten of 2008
Wednesday, January 7, 2009
I only saw, like, three movies in the theatre - Atonement (liked it), Mama Mia (GIVE YOURSELF OVER TO ABBA - it is SUPPOSED to be stupid and FUN!!! and Pierce Brosnan - me-OW!), and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa - (Oh yeah baby, I am so hip!)
I only read text books and magazines, but I do recommend Wondertime to any parent.
I only saw ONE cool concert - Liz Phair (thanks go to Faux Martha for keeping me in the loop of cool moms). I do not think Nemo on Ice, Playhouse Disney Live and Disney on Ice count as cool or concerts...Nemo and Disney on Ice were AMAZINGLY fun though! AND we did go to The Swinging Nutcracker at Orchestra Hall with Jules, Riley and Jeff too... Boo Boo enjoyed feeding her Starburst to Jules and the dancers.
I really did not catch on to most Wii games, until I got my Wii Fit for Christmas - so it is not a "habit" yet...
So what do I know?
Here are my TOP TEN BOO BOO LA LA moments of 2008!
10) Any trip to the Minnesota Zoo! ~ with friends, with grandpa & grandma, any day at the zoo is super-fun!
9) Pooping! The exploration of using the potty continues to exasperate Mommy, but the poops are funny to take pictures of...
8) Our trip to Breezy Point - ahhhhhhhh
7) Our end of year trip to Wisconsin - I love how well Boo Boo and Miss Kendall get along - and how they play nice with the other kids too.
6) Bathtime
5)Our nights when daddy and the other kids are not home...
4) Her fascination with the computer - it is growing exponentially and we are now playing GAMES!
3) Our trips to CVS pharmacy are a total blast - she knows all the people in there, because Mommy likes to stop and wander the drug store...is that weird? She wants to immediately head back and get a drink from the water jug by the pharmacy counter and then wander the aisles with Mommy pointing out all the "Hanna 'tanna" stuff and where she sees Ariel too.
2) Boo Boo La La's "BEST FRIENDS" - she says EVERYONE is her best friend, but mostly Sair...sorry Snake.
1) CHRISTMAS!!!! If you know me you know I hate holidays where gifts are given to me...I do not really need much and it all feels so strange to me - (however I get really good gifts from some of my girlies who know me bestest!) Since Boo Boo came around though I love the whole thing from putting up lights to Christmas Morning. Thanks Boo Boo...Mommy loves you very much.Interview with a Monkey...

2) If you could be a superheroine what would be your super power and what wold your costume look like? I would want to be invisible so I could check up on people...including the boo boo la la. Super-strength should come with that skill, right? And I would look like this...
We sit on one side of the bar, Mike gives us a cold one, and we begin to pick out our songs. If I remember accurately I probably sang (forgive me)
"Heartache Tonight"
"I touch myself."
I lean into Kyle Ann and say,
KA - HE's too old.
L - Too old for you maybe. Remember I have a few years on ya babe.
Brother Pete- HEY, should I go get my "Chocolate Salty Balls" cd and sing that?
Polo shirt and shorts finishes singing and starts to work his way around the bar to where we are sitting and gets halted by "Trucker Girl" wanting him to play pool.
KA - You need another drink.
bold-faced lie.
Just ask Kyle Ann, she was there. Unless she had too many Long Islands that night. ;)
p.s. the line I used on my hubby worked EVERY TIME. If you are single use it tonight!
5) What would you rather find in the trunk of your car a dirty stinking to high heaven diaper or a dead skunk? Since my car is a station wagon (and Hubs drives an Aviator) this is highly unlikely, but I would rather find the diaper. Dead animals of any kind skeeb me out! Ewww.
