Cool Link

I thought was kinda cool http://www.fuali.com/tests.aspx

You Might Be A Redneck If...........






Get 100ft roll of construction grade plastic, cheap rafts, drink alot, and have fun for not just one day, but soon will be our third day doing this over this summer. Since we thought of it half way through the summer we will more than likely do it more next summer.


I really wonder where the hell we come up with some of the stuff we do. The 2 Mike's & Bill always have the wheels turning in thier head, and now they have Mikey to help! Heaven help us! Actually I remember how they came up with this idea now!!

Fast forward to the beginning of June. We had a big birthday party for my children, Paula & Mike bought them a slip n slide. We set it up in the yard, the adults had just as much fun playing on it as all the kids did. One problem though, it was to small. So the guys came up with the idea of using the roll of plastic. Then they thought hmmm..... Mike & Diana have a great hill to put this on. So at their annual July 3rd party, we tried it out, huge success! Everyone drank alot that day and played as hard as the kids did, which by the way the kids love the really big slip n slide AKA Redneck Waterslide. The second time we broke it out was for Emily's going away party. Doug is our unbeatable distance champion. Who knows what this group will do next.(Hopefully throw another kickass Halloween Party!!) If any of you are reading this WE HAVE WORK TO DO!!!

The kids started school yesterday and let me tell you it has been great. My house is so quite during the day, no more screaming, crying, fighting, snitching. I could take a nap!! The cat has even come out of his hiding place. The only thing is that it is the second day of school and my son has already gotten in trouble. He didn't get to go to recess today and I got a note from his teacher telling me that he refused to do any work in class today.Mmmmm someone's going to be in trouble when dad gets home from work today!!

Surprise! A big ass snake in my truck!!



My boss calls me the other day, and says, you are not going to believe this but the UPS driver just pulled up to deliver some packages to Great Clips next door. When the UPS driver got in the back of the truck, there it was a 9ft long albino burmese python, laying on top of the boxes. If it hadn't been for the noise in the background, I wouldn't have believed him. Went to the work the next day and was given these pictures. Animal control was called to help remove the snake, being the snake lover I am, what worried me were the words Animal Control. I know they do not adopt out snakes, so my fear was that they would end up killing this beautiful animal. Thankfully the owner was found and the snake was spared, which I was so happy that I even shed a few tears!! I myself would love to have snake like that one, but that will never happen, since my husband is very scared of snakes, even the little bity harmless garden snakes! By the way UPS does not ship live animals. (The snake was bought from a man in Philadelphia, who shipped it UPS to St.Louis)

Drunkfest 2005 Float Trip




Now that charter has finally fixed my internet I can start blogging again!!

Wow! What a great float trip this year! This was my favorite trip so far!! We had such a wonderful large diverse crowd this year.

It was great just sitting in the river on Thursday & Friday doing nothing but playing drinking games!! Then Saturday was the big float. We had 10 rafts and 38 people. 14 of which were DF Virgins. 700 Jello shots, 2 grosses of Mardi Gras beads, 12 beach balls, phatty patty our blow up doll in a Bud Light tankini, and of course girls on the loose with cans of whip cream.

Only 339 days, till DF 2006! Yeah Baby!
