Numb3rs

rule number 1: never go anywhere, do anything, think even...without my camera. i hate missing the coolest pics & not being able to share them with you, my friends. see that little white dot i circled? thats a big ole hunk of toilet paper & when i went to get my camera there was a squirrell fighting with it. he was dragging it but it was raining & wet & it stuck to him everywhere he touched it. hilarious but you had to be there to appreciate it now cos when i got back with my camera the shit paper was still there & the squirrell had finally separated himself from the the wet sticky ball.
rule number 2: people we have to talk about the shows that are on these days. i mean, the new 'terminator'? holy shit! how awesome is this? my favorite line of the century is when he says, 'i call shotgun' and his android protecter says, 'i call 9 millimeter'. great line. i laughed so hard i bout fell off the couch. and 'american idol' this year has got to be hot. hot singing & HOT contestants cos nothing less will do. this writers strike has got to end soon cos i'm missing '24' & 'supernatural' needs some new material. i can only watch jenson ackles do the same scenes so many times.
rule number 3: no more wrestling when i'm drinking. me & wrestling just don't mix with yag. by the end of the night i have hubby down in a power head lock to die for. and he almost did.
rule number 4: i have to drink more water & get my ass on that treadmill every night. its not doing me any good sitting in the middle of the floor. hell, jammer thinks its his new toy.
enough with the rules for now. how about punxsutawney phil seeing his shadow? again? who's bright idea was it to drag a poor sleeping groundhog out of a hole in the middle of his hibernation with a gazillion lights on him & proclaim he sees his shadow? unless your blind, hell yes, you're gonna see a shadow. if he could talk he'd tell you he sees spots too. does that mean a shorter year? cheese & rice people are we all idiots? i wish just one time he'd attack that stupid crowd that gathers to torture that poor animal. him & his den of little phils just go after them all like stink on shit! bet that would stop those fools from aggravating that poor little guy for some crazy obsession. its the middle of winter. yes, we are still going to have 6 weeks of winter. thats whats left!!!!
thats all too for the bitching tonight. wrestling is on & i haven't put hubby in his beloved head lock yet. i don't want him to feel neglected.

Unplanned Things

sonny & honey just left. my cv boot is fixed & all is good in my world right now. thats not speaking for tomorrow. (you know how that shit goes) but right now, my world is great. i'll be able to tell more after i make that hour trip to work & see how the boot is.
i'm in the middle of what turned out to be a football party. lucky, my younger sister, and her friend bashfull (which shes NOT) showed up to meet up with sonny, honey & their neighbor adam to watch the game. turned out we have a housefull & never made a plan for any of it. good thing i went to the grocery store & stocked up. this was supposed to be a bad week with the weather. there was a really bad storm working its way through heading right for us. we got the wind & some of the rain but the snow & sleet skipped us altogether. (thank you jesus) tuesday night i got very little sleep due to the wind that whipped through. for some stupid reason my back door refused to stay shut. all night long i kept having to get up to shut the damn thing. i've never had that happen before & it hasn't happened since. scared the shit out of me the first time it happened. it was about 9:00 pm & we were all sitting in the living room when it yanked open & slammed against the house. the dog nearly jumped out of her skin, running down the hallway barking like a banshee. buddy, if it was something she was gonna get it. her hair stood on end for the rest of the night cos she was sure someone was coming in that door. you ever tried to make a dog understand the wind? the only thing she knows about the wind is when shes in the car with her head out the window it makes her happy. it would have been funny if i hadn't been trying to get some sleep. hubby was up for the first time but let me tell you when that man lays his head down he's OUT!! he didn't hear another thing till i woke him about 4 am to make him go do something. he slammed it & guaranteed it would not come open again but within about 35 minutes it started all over again. needless to say he slept through that again. i finally jammed a metal strip in the chain that holds it to keep it from opening all the way & gave up on trying to keep it shut. wasn't enough room for anyone to get through the door & that was good enough for me. it did get cold but a few more blankets took care of that. believe me when i say not even the dog got out of bed after that. oh, the breaker kicked off, too. i didn't mention that yet did i? yeah, off & on until it finally blew a breaker in the box. the next morning it turned out 52 thousand homes was without electricity. i had electricity through most of my house just the lower half of the plugs weren't working & the heater. so the rest of the week will consist of stress testing everything in my life to see what each & every thing can withstand. there will be no more nights without heat for this bitch.

A Special Birthday Note To My Son

now, i'm a day late but it still means the same. i wasn't a day late with the celebration or anything like that. just the posting of those events. yesterday was sonnys birthday. i really surprised him this year. he most certainly didn't expect the cake & ice cream let alone the huge 'happy birthday' banner & balloons. everyone beat him into the house & as they walked in i whispered, 'shhhh, just sing.' so as he came in we broke into the birthday song & you could tell by the embarrassed look on his face that he was surprised. it was his 33rd & i think it was the first time i've ever really surprised him. this time i didn't tell anyone what i was doing. i just did it & waited till they all walked in to let the cat out of the bag. otherwise these loose tongued hooliegans can't keep their mouths shut. my lil sis pj is the worst for that. you could never keep a secret if she knew anything. she would shout it from the rooftops before she would keep it to herself. like she would explode if she couldn't tell first. ixxie is the same way. she just can't keep her mouth shut. we had fun but him & honey took off pretty fast to enjoy their private time if you know what i mean.
to my special son: i would like to say 'i love you'. i hope you have a hundred more birthdays & may every one of them bring you a wonderful surprise. you have always been a special gift to me & i've cherished every day of our life. i've always been sorry that your dad couldn't be around to see what a wonderful son you are. what a wonderful person you are. how much like him you've turned out. he would be so proud of you. you are a credit to who i am because of your sweet, caring soul & your giving heart. you continually make me proud. not to mention the grandchildren you have given me to fill my heart & my life. without you my life would have been empty. i thank god everyday for the precious gift he has given me. both in you & now your children. i pray that god will always bless you & you will always know how much i love you. happy birthday, spud.
love , mom.

Times Have Changed

to be honest with you, i'll be so glad when this bullshit menapause stage i'm going through is over. i've been so hyper lately. and anxious. everything is much more intense & i don't know how to handle it. its all i can do not to cry or have a fit. whichever comes first. my mood bounces quickly from one to the other. how do women do this? its absolutely killing me. i can handle the hot flashes. sometimes thats the only flash i get. they don't bother me so bad. i've always been a little hot...as in temperature...(hey, i'm still no slouch) so i really haven't noticed that much difference there. i have nooo patience though. thats not good for me. i've always been pretty easy going so its hard to adapt to losing my cool without any obvious reasons. of course, my reasons are sane to me but not everybody sees that. its hard to know what someone else is going through until you walk a mile in their shoes. right now i don't advise anyone to step in. they wouldn't be a happy camper.
i picked up the boot to replace on my car. did you know that they have a split boot these days? this is new & nobody ever bothered mentioning it until i went to pick one up. its split up one side & can be applied without removing the tire...let alone brake assembly or cv joint. check this out.
just too much. i didn't know they came in different colors either, till i saw this pic. but the idea is simple. one side is split & you slap it together with either a glue or screws. a much quicker & simpler job that i can't believe someone didn't come up with along time ago. believe me when i stopped by my local shop & asked about the price of the job not one of them suggested i use this boot. hell, i could do the job with this. i don't know if i've mentioned this before but i'm actually pretty knowledgable when it comes to cars. when i was growing up my step dad was a mechanic. at 35 he had a heart attack & couldn't do much anymore. so, not to give up his side jobs he had us girls climb under the hood or the car, whichever the case may have been. he would tell us what to do & supervise the jobs, we would do the work & he'd collect the money for a job well done. as a matter of fact when i hooked up with my husband he didn't know much about working on cars. he's a lot better with them nowadays. i've taught him more than he'll admit but he directs people to me when it comes to figuring out what might be wrong with a car. diagnosing is one thing. getting my fat ass on the ground & up under that car is something else all together these days. i bribe sonny to do the jobs now. he's a good little shit. he's what i call 'a jack of all trades & master of most'. seriously, this kid can build a house, fix your car & cook his meal all at the same time. i raised a super kid & i'm super proud of him. you name it & he knows something about it. alot like his momma that kid.
k, time to watch the coolest show on tv these days. i love me some 'supernatural' with jensen ackles & jared pedelecki.

Winged Horses, Fairies & Magic Dust

jammer finally pulled his tooth. he said he did it all by himself & he got a whole dollar for it. he was so excited with his dollar. kinda makes me wish we had regrowable teeth cos sometimes i could use a buck from a fairy. couldn't you? come to think of it, man, if teeth regrew i could use a few thousand at a time from a fairy. i don't care what fairy just any fairy would do. course, i'd want my teeth to regrow really quick. i'm sure i wouldn't look good without teeth.
while we're in fairyland. i could use a flying horse, a unicorn would do. just cos i think they're so pretty. i'd want mine to be purple with flowing white mane. and sparkles. yeah, lots of sparkles. and a regrowable gold horn. shit i need lots of money. can you tell?for the last week my drivers side front wheel has gotten more & more wobbly. i know the process of elimination starts with my tie rod end. there was no clicking sound so i immediately dismissed my cv joints. then it could be my ball joint. if its my ball joint i might as well go all out & replace the axle. just an easier job. probably cheaper too. so, hubby grabbed the tire & tried to shake it. it shook but just a tiny bit. as bad as its driving it had to be more than that. so i was more or less leaning towards the ball joint deally. (lots of my teeth having to go there) even if the axle is cheaper to replace its still gonna cost a pretty penny. finally i gave up & called sonny. in my finest mommy begging voice i asked him to take a look with hubby to figure out what it was this weekend & we had to fix it. my worst nightmare is of me dying in a car accident. i just know thats how i'm gonna go. after he had to deal with a flat tire he made it late this afternoon, jacked the car up & immediately pointed out my cv boot is shot. it was dry with shards of metal showing inside. it was already getting dark so he packed it with grease & told me he'd fix it next weekend. all i could think is nooooo, not another week!! i'll never last another week!
i still need to replace my lights that were busted in the wreck. i want to replace my convertible top.
oh, hell if i'm gonna dream i might as well dream big. i need a new house & a new car & a new job & a new .........damn, the list goes on & on & on. i need some magic dust too. that should fix all my worries.

Growing Up

yes, in case you're wondering, i changed all my passwords to one. yes, it has capitals & numbers & its at least 6 characters to meet their criteria. i'm good to go, now. after all that i figured since i was in the upgrading mood i might as well start on the pc too. so, i upgraded to more ram & fixed the broken plugin to my cdrw & added the program that works with my cdrw. i figured in for a penny....in for a pound. i did all the things to make my pc faster & better & now i'm good for another 230gigs of crap that i can add to my, what was then, full hard drive capacity. mbwwaaahhaaa. i'm in evil mode now.
on the lighter side, jammer is about to lose his first baby tooth. it cost sonny $40.00 to find this out from his dentist. jammer smacked his tooth on the schoolbus seat causing it to become loose. honey, (being the idiot that she is) insisted they rush him off to the dentist. dentist shookit & said 'oh, yeah, its ready to come out of there. his permanent tooth is right behind it ready to come in & this is normal'. sonny said, well, that was a waste of forty bucks. honey said, well, i didn't know. i said, yeah, i've been trying to get him to eat an apple for me. jammer said, 'i'm having nothing to do with any of that'. so, he has this tooth thats ready to literally drop out of his mouth but hanging on by mere shreds of skin that he refuses to pull out. i'm sure it'll be gone by the time he gets back here next weekend. i just can't believe sonny hasn't yanked it out already except its jammers first real loose tooth instead of his sisters abnormal way of making him lose teeth.
other than that i've just been boring. nothing exciting going on, so, you haven't missed anything.
i'll be back when i have something new going on.
later.
