Happy Birthday Baxter

Today is my dog's 6th birthday! Happy Birthday Baxter!

Not much else going on.

Jason went and played in a poker tournament on the President Casino yesterday. It was his first time playing in a tournament at a Casino. He didn't do too bad either, he came in 4th out of 10 guys. He wanted to win so bad though. I know he did better than I would have!

Yesterday was so beautiful - I wanted to go home and walk around the lake, but about the time I got home it started to get dark and it looked like it would rain - but it never did! So, needless to say, I didn't go walk around the lake. Oh well, soon enough.

We watched the best movie last night. We watched "Saw". It was crazy. Regardless of how sure you are that you know who did it, you are wrong! I loved it! You all GOTTA watch it.
Then we watched American Idol and House - our usual Tuesday night. I've grown accustomed to my little TV nights.

Enough for now...later!

A Few Missives On Old Age

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office. "Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?" "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'.

"An older Jewish gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation. As he was about to get the anesthesia he asked to speak to his son. "Yes, Dad, what is it?" "Don't be nervous, son; do your best and just remember, if itdoesn't go well, if something happens to me .. your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife....

"Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.

First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you forget to pull up your zipper. It's worse when you forget to pull it down.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf!

Hero

A man appears before St. Peter at the pearly gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asks.

"Well, I can think of one thing," the man offers. "On a trip to the Black Hills, out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of macho bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground, and told him, "Leave her alone now or you'll answer to me."

"St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?" "Just a couple minutes ago!"

Post Valentine's Day

So, Valentine's Day is over. Jason sent me the most gorgeous roses at work. They are actually really neat. They have "Happy Valentine's Day" printed on the actual roses in gold. Neat idea. I love them.

Last night we were supposed to go to the Chase Park Plaza for dinner and dancing. Well, after work we went to the mall to find me something cute to wear. I was actually kind of crabby and didn't really feel like going and when I couldn't find anything to wear, that just kind of validated it for me. I didn't want to go. Jason is so sweet, he didn't care - he just wanted to be together. So, we gave the reservations to his parents and we went home, ordered Chinese food and watched a girlie movie - "Notebook". The movie was really good. I fell asleep really early, like around 8:00. I didn't even watch Medium! Believe it or not, that's actually the kind of Valentine's Day I like.

Jason seemed to love his album. I feel like I cheated him though.

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

I just emailed Linlee and told her how it doesn't even seem like Valentine's Day. It's nothing like it used to be. It doesn't seem as festive this year. It's really kind of boring. It's not even a special day anymore.

Jason made reservations for us at the Chase Park Plaza Starlight Roof - and I'm not really in the mood to go, but I would never tell him I don't want to go. I'm just thinking I wanna go home take a walk around the lake and go to sleep. Sad, huh?

My weekend wasn't much more exciting.

Zach took his ACT on Saturday and he said it was hard - I'm sure it was considering he's 12! I hated that damn test when I was 17, I couldn't imagine taking it at 12. Oh well. I'm anxious to see what his score is.

Jason and I decided we'll go to London this year for vacation. We'll take a little day trip over to Paris too - go see the Louvre. It sounds kind of exciting, we'll see. I just wanna go somewhere. We did the beach scene last year, I figure we can handle a sightseeing trip this year.

I suppose I'll talk to y'all later.

Buh Bye

What Season Are You?

Season = Autumn
You're Most Like The Season Autumn ...
You're warm, and the most approachable. You have
that gentle prescence about you. People can
relate to you, and find you easy company.
However it's likely you've been hurt in the
past and it has left you scarred so things can
become rather chilly with you at times. Being
the third Season in, you're mature, trustworthy
and loyal to your friends but prone to
depression and negative thinking.
Well done... You're the shy and sensitive season :)

"Pictures" by Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow

Kid:
Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
And fuelin' up on cocaine and whiskey
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways

Kid's Chorus:
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her

Repeat Kid's Chorus

Sheryl:
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they won't tell
But their half-hearted smiles
tell me something just ain't right

I've been waitin' on your for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights

Sheryl's Chorus:
I put your picture away
I wonder where you've been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him

Repeat Sheryl's Chorus

Kid & Sheryl:
I saw you yesterday with an old friend - Sheryl
It was the same ole' same how have you been - Kid
Since you been gone, my world's been dark & grey -
Both

It reminded me of brighter days - Kid
I hoped you were comin' home to stay -
Sheryl
I was headed to church -
Sheryl
I was off to drink you away -
Kid

I thought about you for a long time - both
Can't seem to get you off my mind -
both
I can't understand why we're livin' life this way -
both

Kid & Sheryl's Chorus:
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home

Repeat Kid & Sheryl's Chorus


I just called to say I love you, come back home

True Stupidity

One of life's little highlights, to me, is that once in a while you run into someone who is truely stupid. I don't mean the common day to day idiot who looks at the Starbuck's cup in your hand and says, "Whatcha drinking, coffee?" I mean the kind of goofball that asks, "Ya want fries with that?", after you've just ordered fries.

With that in mind, below are a few stories that were sent to me about just that kind of people. After you read them, you can walk around holding your head high, feeling very smart. Or at least, feeling very, very, not stupid. I'm happy to do that for you. I'm nice like that.
- Michelle -

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When another person jumped in and explained that the sun rises in the east [and has for some time], she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."

I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One day I got a call from an InDUHvidual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Pacific.."

So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving."

I was in a high school advanced physics class and the teacher was talking about a new military weapon that uses sonic waves on the battlefield to burst enemy soldier's chests. One idiot in the class spoke up and said, "Well that's stupid! Why don't they just wear headphones?"

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut through a seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two cases. The cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

I was hanging out with an idiot friend of mine when we saw a woman walk by us with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I had to explain to her that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned!

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because they were trained professionals and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"

"Over and Over" by Nelly (f/ Tim McGraw)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause it’s all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it
Nooo

I can’t wait to see you
Wanna see if you still got that look in your eyes
That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes
And it’s a shame that we gotta spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same things
Over and over again
Ohh
But I think she’s leaving
Ooh man she’s leaving
I don’t know what else to do
(I can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head

And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again yeah
And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it
Nooo

I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath you took right in front of me
When you said that u would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keeps playing in my head
Over and over again
Playin' in my head
Over and over again
Ohh
I think she’s leaving
Ooh man she’s leaving
I don’t know what else to do
(I Can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it I can’t shake it
Nooo

(Now that I’ve realized that I’m going down
From all this pain you’ve put me through
Every time I close my eyes I lock it down oh
I can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head

Disappointing Sports Weekend

I should have opted out of watching all of the sporting events that I did watch. It all started Saturday with the Beck v. Barrett fight before the Spinks v. Judah fight. Beck was undefeated and then Barrett beats him and, I'm sorry, but Barrett is an ass. I really wanted Beck to win!

Then, the Spinks v. Judah fight pissed me off - I can't stand Zab Judah! I believe Spinks WILL get him back! Come on Cory!

Finally, my crappy sports weekend was ended with the New England Patriots winning the Superbowl by 3 measly points! I needed to see The Eagles win this one...but NO! So, in the 3rd quarter of the Superbowl, Jason and I started to watch the Chuck Liddell v. Tito Ortiz UFC fight and I wanted to see Tito Ortiz win that one even though Chuck Liddell is my #1 UFC man! Guess what - Chuck Liddell won it! Come on! Can anyone I root for win this weekend??? But, at least Chuck Liddell did win, I do love that man and I usually root for him, but for some reason I was rootin' for Tito (I think I was doing it for Jason). After watching the UFC fight, we turned back to the Superbowl to watch the last 3 minutes of the game and it was so close, The Eagles could have taken it, but no, because I was watching the game, New England stole their 3rd Superbowl win in 4 friggin' years. Oh well, next year! Maybe, next year the Rams can get off their ass and get to the Superbowl and win it! Anyway...that was my disappointing weekend.


Not to mention, the Superbowl commercials weren't even that good. I have seen better. The best one was probably the "You're being robbed" one - however, I did like the guy that sent his buddy a picture of his girlfriend, beer, and apartment. I wanted to see more animals - last year was a good year for animal commercials - gotta love the Budweiser Donkey!

So...

Today is, thankfully, Friday and we are going to have a busy weekend. Tonight, we probably won't do anything. Saturday night is the Cory Spinks and Zab Judah fight...not that we're physically GOING to the fight, but I'm very, VERY interested in who is going to win - CORY BETTER WIN! And, Sunday is the Superbowl! I'm not interested in watching the game since the Rams aren't in it this year, but I have to watch the commercials! I already like the one where the Clydesdales are having a snowball fight...anything with animals gets me hooked!
Jason wants to get Hooters wings and some Champagne (Champagne with Hooters wings is actually VERY good - especially when it's Dom Perignon). I"m not real sure why he's so interested, neither of us are that into football...now, if this was October and it was the World Series again, that would be a different story! Anyway...

Last night we watched "The Grudge"...I didn't like it. It was really kind of stupid. It could have been a lot better. I am quite certain there will be a sequel...the movie just kinda stopped in the middle of no where...hhmmm

Uummm...what else? Oh, on The Apprentice last night good ole' Danny was fired...about time, that guy was a complete idiot/flake! Plus, that one chick quit...good thing, I'm sure she would have been fired soon anyway. How is it that Danny has a Marketing background but had no clue what the hell he was doing last night? Scary...

Well kids...I'll talk at ya later!

CIA Entrance Exam

I LOVE this one...

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists — two men and one woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. “We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her.” The first man said.“You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife,” The agent replies, “Then you’re not the right man for this job." The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.” The agent replies, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.” Finally, it was the woman’s turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, “You guys didn’t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair.”

Kids of the 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because we were always outside playing.

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no internet or internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live in us forever.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little league had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm...

You know...is it really premarital sex if you never intend on marrying the person?

Did they name it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken?

Did you ever think that the Aspirin bottle directions have been written incorrectly? When it says to"take two" and "keep away from children", shouldn't those both be in the same sentence? As in, "take two aspirin and keep away from children".

Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant. Did it ever occur to anyone that they may just be eating a slow learner?

Is war really the President's way of teaching us World Geography?

Isn't it disturbing that our missiles are smarter than the average American student...the missiles can actually find Afghanistan

Isn't life technically sexually transmitted?

Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and asubstantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have cometo realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first...



I Believe This Conversation Has Really Taken Place Somewhere in St. Louis!

A group of seniors was sitting around the pool in sunny Florida talking about all of their ailments.

"My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.

"Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my coffee."

"I couldn't even mark an 'X' at election time, my hands are so crippled, " volunteered a third.

"What? Speak up, I can't hear you," said a fourth.

"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a fifth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.

"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy I can hardly walk," exclaimed another.

"I forget where I am and where I'm going," said an elderly gent.

"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head.

The others nodded in agreement."Well, count your blessings," said one woman cheerfully.

"THANK GOD WE CAN STILL DRIVE!!!"

I must say...I really believe this conversation has taken place somewhere in St. Louis and for some reason these people always happen to be in front of me...then again, no one drives fast enough for me! I really need a helicopter like the Trumpster!

A Sweet Love Letter

I shall seek and find you.
I shall force you into bed and have my way with you.
I will make you ache, shake, and sweat until you moan.
I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.
I will exhaust you to the point that you will be relieved when I'm finished.
I will leave you weak in the knees, with your head spinning for days.

All my love, The Flu

Modern Hotel

A traveling salesman checked into a futuristic hotel. Realizing he needed a haircut before the next day's meeting, he called down to the desk clerk to ask if there was a barber on the premises.

"I'm afraid not, sir," the clerk told him apologetically, "but down the hall from your room is a vending machine that should serve your purposes."

Skeptical but intrigued, the salesman located the machine, inserted 50 cents, and stuck his head into the opening, at which time the machine started to buzz and whirl. Fifteen seconds later the salesman pulled out his head and surveyed his reflection. He was suprised to see the best haircut of his life.

Two feet away was another machine with a sign that read, 'Manicures, 25 Cents' "Why not?" thought the salesman. He paid the money, inserted his hands into the slot, and pulled them out and they were perfectly manicured.

The next machine had a sign that read, 'This Machine Provides a Service Men Need When Away from Their Wives, 50 Cents.' The salesman looked both ways, put fifty cents in the machine, unzipped his fly, and with some anticipation, stuck his manhood into the opening. When the machine started buzzing, the guy let out a shriek of agony. His screams were heard by every guest on every floor of the hotel. Fifteen seconds later the machine shut off and, with trembling hands, the salesman was able to withdraw his pecker... now with a button sewed neatly on the end!

Can you say ouch!?!?

Miscellaneous

Okay, so today is going by very slowly. My boss is in Pawnee, IL today so I'm not as rushed or busy as I am when she is here, but I'm still pretty busy.

I forgot...last Monday we went to the Fox and saw Larry the Cable Guy...that guy is so crazy and funny - I ended up sweating from laughing so hard for so long. I love going to comedy shows.

My brother and Susan came over last night...we didn't do much but watch TV, talk and we ended up going through pictures of Jake. Jake has a project due at school that chronicles his life from the minute he was born to present day - Susan asked if I would help since I am the scrapbooker - so we picked a few pictures from my collection to use on the project.

I think the Superbowl is this weekend - doubt I'll watch - no Rams!

But, is the Cory Spinks and Zab Judah fight this weekend too? I guess I should know since it's here in St. Louis! That should be interesting...I'll tell you what...Cory better win! He's the St. Louis boy and Zab Judah flew in here acting like he owns St. Louis - don't think so! He said he was the King...whatever...Cory better win! Knock his ass out!

Ummm...I don't think I have much else to say...I know, it's sad. I don't understand. When I'm in person I can talk for hours straight...hhmmm...who knows?
