So - I have been so stinking busy & lazy about blogging - but this is NOT an apology, nay it is a summary of my life for the past two weeks or so...
* Dear Snake gets the flu
* @Iambooboolala and I go to see "If you give a Moose a Cupcake" with my parents
* @Iambooboolala gets the flu & I foolishly allow T-bone to go snowmobiling with his buddy all that day!
* LOSE MY SAPPHIRE FROM MY ENGAGEMENT RING
* Work, work, work
* Ignore blog
* NEVER ENDING LAUNDRY PILES
* worry, worry, worry
* Get sick myself
* Get annoyed by EVERYTHING under the sun
* Ignore blog some more
* Hubby gets sick so I foolishly take @Iambooboolala to McD's on a FRIDAY NIGHT???
* Clean, put stuff away, more laundry
* Drive to the boonies for nephew's birthday
* Teach Sunday School and immediately drive out to the largest mall in America to take @Iambooboolala to yet ANOTHER birthday party, lunch with T-bone during, and foolishly go to BUILD A Bear on the DAY before Valentine's Day???
* Ignoring blog on FULL power now
* work, work, work
So you see I am up to my neck in foolishness! ;)
But for you - a giveaway from BuildASign - do you see over there in the side column? That is the cute sticker BuildASign allowed me to make for my car. Have you seen those EVERYWHERE? They are too $$$ for me - but not at BuildASign.
Here is the sticker on my car:
As you can see I am a BIG FAN of the window cling - there are more on my back side windows too. Yes, I am THAT freak!
Wow are Build A Signs bumperstickers and window clings affordable. So if you needed/wanted to advertise something - you could VERY inexpensively with Build A Sign's help!
And they have cute stickers too!
And since you don't want one of MY FAMILY - they gave me ten cool cling stickers like this one:

Why that one?
Well - here is the story of how my hubby and I met. Just in case you missed it the other two times I posted about it. Happy Trails!
Imagine June 1999 - it is HOT and HUMID in Minnesota and my brother, my buddy Kyle Ann and I decide we need some cold beers and sweaty singing. We head up to NordEast to hang at a place called Arrones -- not sure I would go there anymore, but at the time the bartender Mike* and the Karaoke Chick were tons of fun --
I was wearing (or it was stuck to me) a cute Target grey tank top with blue flowers on it and these army green cargo pants I got at Abercrombie & Fitch. One day I hope to fit back into those things...the pants, I mean.
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):
But, wait! There at the "mic" is a cute guy in polo and shorts - and he is SINGING "Pretty Woman" ....I wonder if he will do the... Oh yeah, he can growl like Roy Orbison, SWEET!
I lean into Kyle Ann and say,
L - There is my boyfriend.
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.
L- Bitch, get away from my boyfriend.
KA - You need another drink.
FINALLY about midnight Polo shirt sits at the barstool next to mine -being the smooth chick I am I lean over toward him and say -
"You're cute, what is your name?"
Yes folks that is how I met the madman I am married to...he will say he sang the song because HE saw me first, I buy that, but he will also say that he TALKED to me first and that is a
bold-faced lie.
Just ask Kyle Ann, she was there. Unless she had too many Long Islands that night. ;)
* God bless Mike wherever you are!!(he died a few years ago, we went to the funeral. THAT is how charming this bartender was.)
p.s. the line I used on my hubby worked EVERY TIME. Single? Use it tonight!
