Monster Trucks

The monster trucks were in town the other night so we took the kids and they had a blast!! My children are wanting us to buy tickets now for next year. I have to admit I had a blast also, I love the monster trucks. The kids were really excited to see some of the trucks roll over.

Kenny loved it when Bounty Hunter tore through this RV

They also thought it was pretty cool when Maxium Destruction jumped the Bob N Tom truck.

Some changes

Some of you know some don't. I have a new job that I start next week. I hired on yesterday with Merry Maids. Full time Mon-Fri. with full benefits and 1 week vacation in 6 months. I am going to stay on at Papa Murphy's 3 nights a week more if at all possible. By staying there should provide about another $500. 00 a month.

Also my car finally shit out recently so I am in the market for another vehicle. Well I found the one I want but now I have to work on Bill cause he doesn't want to spend that much. It is a 2005 Ford Freestyle Limited, it has 13,000 miles on it. It is the mac daddy of this model. It has every option you can get on this type of vehicle. I want it, I want it, I want it.....Really bad. It drives like a dream. It has leather seats, it will sit 7 people, power moonroof, 6 disc mp3 player, dvd system which does not run off of the car stereo, it is its own system with wireless headphones. The price for this car is $23,850.00. If it was a 2006 model it would cost. $31,285.00. Bill says we need to stay around $15,000.00........but when I look for something in that price range it is either 6 or 7 years old already or it is 2 or 3 years old with 70,000 to 80,000 miles on it already.

So anyway now I can say I have posted a recent blog entry! :D

Here is a picture of the vehicle I want. The color is merlot. I LIKE IT!!

I am a......

In response to Dave & Emily's blogs:

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Cha Ching

Last night we went to the bar and had a few drinks, which I found a new drink that I like. Captain Morgan (of course), OJ, Cranberry juice, & a splash of Grenedine...YUMMY!!!

So after we left the bar we went to Steak n Shake and had fun, then onto the boat we went....Well I didn't play any blackjack cause all they had were $10.00 & $15.00 tables. So I put $10.00 into a nickle video poker machine and lost it all. I don't know why I did that I hate video poker. So I got another $10.00 from Bill and went and found my favorite game. I love the monopoly slot machines. The first machine I played sucked pretty bad I was down to $1.35 left so I cashed it out and changed machines. I got up to $62.00 and decided that I wouldn't go lower than $50.00, so I ended up cashing out at $50.00. Not bad for a couple hours entertainment. The only bad thing was that it was 5:15 am before we got home.

Silly Dog

Our dog Jack was pretty tired. We found him sleeping like this. I thought it was pretty darn cute & funny!

Getting a beating

March 2,1991..........Rodney King gets the beating of his lifetime by some LA cops, the whole world sees it over and over again. I would know since we lived in California at the time, It was on the news 24 hours a day!! The LA riots were just plain ass crazy! Kinda of like 9/11 we watched it nonstop, there was nothing else on TV.

Fast Forward 15 years..........

FOX 2 TO RE-BROADCAST CONTROVERSIAL POLICE CHASE AND ARREST UN-EDITED AND IN ITS ENTIRETY
As a service to viewers, Thursday, Feb. 2 at 10 pm, FOX 2 News will re-broadcast the entire, un-edited footage of the Maplewood police high-speed pursuit and arrest of Edmond Burns. This story has generated numerous newspaper articles, television stories and has been a heated topic of conversation throughout our community. Hours of local and national radio talk-shows have been devoted to this controversial footage.
Only viewers of FOX 2 News in the Morning who were watching the Monday, January 30 broadcast saw the complete live SkyFOX coverage of the high-speed police chase and the ensuing arrest. FOX 2 has received hundreds of emails and phone calls requesting to see the un-edited footage in its entirety. In order to serve the St. Louis community, FOX 2 News will air the un-edited footage so viewers can see the dramatic chase and arrest, and decide for themselves what really happened.

If you have not seen it cause you just got home from Mars or the Moon, then you should watch this tonight. I won't state how I feel about the whole beating incident, but I will say this.

I can see it coming, the LA riots all over again but this time only in St. Louis.

Since I am on the subject of police issues, Here is another one for ya:

Police Officer Will Be Charged in Lincoln County Shooting of Two Men

Teasley and Brown were pulled over for speeding. They were sitting inside their truck when the vehicle backed up. The deputy, who had been on the force for three years, fired into the vehicle, killing the two men.

The deputy involved now faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Now this I will state how I feel, BULLSHIT!! I feel they deserved what they got!
1. They should of pulled over as soon as the cop tried to pull them over.
2. The dumbass driver should not of allowed his truck to roll backwards.
3. The cop had a right to shot, how was he supposed to know if they were going to hit him or not. I feel he did what he had to to protect his well being.
4. When the truck rolled back in damaged the reinforced bumber of the police car, If it can damage that just think if it would have bones & flesh.

The story could of ended up like this:

Lincoln County officer dead after pulling over a truck that was speeding. The officer was pronouced dead at the scene. Investigators believe that as the officer was walking up to the vehicle it rolled backwards and crushed him to death. The officer was pinned between the bumpers of the truck and the police car.

So you get the point.

I'm just saying.......

Who needs sleep

Lately because Bill has been snoring so bad I have been sleeping while wearing mouse ears. If you don't know what those are, they are the headphones you see guys wearing on a flightline. They help protect your hearing from the airplanes. So anyway I have been wearing those at night to get some sleep. (I have now learned to sleep on my back) Last night as usual I had them on but Bill's snoring was so bad that I was woke up over and over again. You know when someone is snoring LOUD when you are wearing ear protection and they are still waking you up. After having very little sleep and having had enough of the noise I finally took my pillow and went to sleep on the couch. Not the couch in the living room, that was not quiet enough, I slept on the couch down in the family room. At 4 am my house is actually pretty quiet that is as long as you are not upstairs. :D

She's back!!!

YAAA!!! Steph is back!! Go check her out

Shopping on Ebay

I have been doing a little shopping and ALOT of watching, of Creative Memories stuff on Ebay. It is funny just to watch people bidding on stuff. People are paying 2 to 3 times as much for stuff on Ebay than what they could just buy it for right from a consultant. I have been watching a bunch of the albums, but they are going for slightly more than what I can order one for, it cracks me up. What are these people thinking? There are a few things that I am bidding on and my bid is more than what it could have been bought for, but they are a retired items. For example of the over priced available items is the Kaleidoscope album which can be bought for $44.00 brand new from the consultant plus tax and a small fee for shipping. I am guessing that for around $50.00 you can have a brand album. Well these albums are selling around $64.00 plus another $20.00 for shipping. That is BANANAS!

So........

Today is my aunt Cassa's 50th birthday, so last night my mother in law, Mary(a friend of Cassa's) and myself snuck over to Cassa's house and decorated the yard. A very big sign, and a bunch of bras hanging from her tree and front porch. Well this morning she was caught taking it down by her sister & parents. When Cassa left for work they snuck in to her house and redecorated the front yard. I will post some pictures later when my mother in law gets home with the camera.

Peace out!

This is for you Dave

This is my first attempt to change a picture. I think this could be fun.

Bitch Session

New Years Eve I tried to get retrive 3 bottles of apple pie schnapps that we bought for a total of $330.00, but when I went to the place of pick up I found out that someone had taken my bottles. Total bummer, a little upset cause I was looking forward to drinking some of it. Then I find out that the people who took it no longer has it, now someone else does. I can never seem to get a hold of this person to get my 3 bottles. We are having our Christmas party with our friends today and still I have no apple pie schnapps to share. It is really starting to piss me off. If it was 3 bottles at $20.00 a piece then no big deal. But we paid $110.00 each for those bottles and can't even drink the shit.

Also....................

What is the deal with the eternal man period! I am so sick and tired of Bill being on his crabby ass mood attitude!! IT IS DRIVING ME MAD!! I am almost to the point of sticking a tampaxx up his ass and forcing him to O.D. on Midol!! I feel like no matter what I do or say it is not good enough and grants me another 3 days of "The Silent Treatment" & "The Anything I Have To Say To You Will Be Fucking Ignorant Treatment". What is a wife of a always crabby man supposed to do?

Interersting

I received this in a email earlier:


WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT,DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning. Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there. The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening. Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption. Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France. In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China. I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis. I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change. Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil. Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now. We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care. It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin." Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won't forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America. Thank you and good night. If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.


Thank You Emily!

What a sap

I am such a sappy ass cry baby! Earlier we watched Must Love Dogs, great movie but I cried, then we watched Ladder 49. I have seen this movie before, I know what is going to happen, but what do I do? I cry like a blubbering baby the last 20 minutes of the movie. Kenny thought that was funny because I couldn't stop crying. I am glad I entertained him with my tears

Just give me a damn answer!

I don't understand men! I have been asking what the plan is for New Years Eve and can never get an answer from Bill. The only response I get is "I don't know" Well HELLO, It is almost New Years Eve!!! He likes to make plans ahead of time but for some reason when I try to do that I can never get a answer until the last friggin minute! Then I am the one who has to run around like a mad woman at the last minute to take care of crap! UGH!


Anyway.........My children loved King Kong! I cried(surprise,surprise) Kayla said she was close to crying and Kenny just asked over and over if we were going to buy it when it comes out on DVD. I was really surprised at all the people who were crying, when we were leaving I heard some men behind talking about how they couldn't believed they cried, that put a smile on my face! Now the kids want to go see Cheaper By The Dozen 2. I don't know if I can afford another trip to the movies with them. 3 movies tickets were $18.75, for 3 sodas & 3 snacks was $26.00 then 2 more sodas was $8.00. WTF $53.00 for 1 adult & 2 children to see a movie. I want to go see BrokeBack Mountain but not sure if I pay another $53.00 to go take them to the movies again.

King Kong

We just went and seen King Kong, It was a great movie!!

It wasn't a long 3 hours like Green Mile was, the only thing is that I feel like I have just smoked a big fat joint after the 2 cigarettes I have had! WOW what a buzz! I have the shakes! This is the end of this post my hands are shaking to bad. Will post more tomorrow!

Word to ya mother!!
