Home and relaxing!!!!

I love vacation especially this type where you can lay in bed and type on your blog, watch tv, and text on your cell phone all at the same time!  Saturday night all my friends but Theresa and Seany came over to see me.  I bought a little token for everyone while I was gone.  Theresa I will give you yours when you get back from Vegas, Paula I will give you yours when I get to see you next, and my little french fry I will be fed exing yours with WL stuff.  We all had fun playing cards Saturday night and I enjoyed seeing all of ya, I did miss you guys a lot.  Well tonight I have been invited to dinner with Boobs and her lover Steve.  Boobs should be in town today sometime. Other then dinner I am not sure what else is up I am NOT going to the bar I know that for sure.  I don't go out on amateur night not that I am a pro but I don't like the young dumb drunk idiots that seem to be out on Halloween, Parade Day, and New Year's Eve.  I know you all want to do something but at this point I am not sure what.  I will talk to Boobs and see if she minds if we all go out to dinner, but I am not sure what to do after.  I can't remember the last time I actually stayed up to ring in the new year!  Well we will figure out something fun to do I am sure!  Love all around!

Thought for the day:

Don't have one shit I am on Vacation!!!!!

Time to come home....

I do have pictures I just need to get them downloaded and I will post them. The morning of departure we had a nice breakfast and then check out of our room and low and behold our Airport transport is even early wow what a good start to the day. We get to LAX and wow that was a fun Security check, NOT! We were excited when we got to our gate and it said our flight would be on time so we went to the bar while the kids went to McDonald's next door. After one drink we decided we need a cigarette. Wow what a joke we had to go to a whole other terminal in which we had to go down an escalator and walk for what seemed forever through this very white tunnel. As Laurie and I get to this tunnel we meet this hilarious Italian lady looking for the smoking area as well. So the long walk to the smoking area didn't seem as long because of our new interesting guest. When we get down this long tunnel and we are almost to the next terminal there is a man sitting in one of those airport taxi thingy's and the Italian woman tells him that she will pay him to drive us back when we are done. We laugh at this but didn't take her serious. We go up the escalators and outside to a balcony area were we can finally smoke. (shit I need to quit!) After we smoke two because damn we are not walking all this way for another we proceed to go back down the escalators and this Italian woman comes with us. She was serious too she went right up to the shuttle guy and paid him to drive us back to our terminal. Too funny. I wished I got a picture of her she was so interesting! When we get back we have another drink and figure they should be boarding soon. Well on time my ass after a 1/2 an hour after our initial flight time they finally load us and then we sit 45 more minutes on the plane for God only knows why. Our arrival time in Salt Lake will be exactly the time we were to be flying out! When we land we feel as if we won't miss our flight because our stewardess assures all passengers that our connecting flights have been told of our late arrival and she asks the others to stay seated while we get off first to get to our connecting flight. That was a joke, everyone gets up anyhow and this lady behind me is bitching that we are in her way and her flight is at 5:20 and it is 4:43 and my flight leaves at 4:45 so I proceed to tell that bitch off because by this time I am done with fucking people!!!!!! We run as fast as possible to our gate we were let off at gate D4 and we had to run to E85 we make it at 4:47 and the guy tells me sorry your flight left at 4:49! Two minutes ago? Why in the hell wouldn't they hold this small little plane for 2 fucking minutes for 9 passengers? I was beyond pissed! Oh but to make me happy they give us tickets to fly out at 9:08 and give me 4 $7.00 food vouchers! WHOOOPPPIIEEE DOOO! Like $7.00 pays for shit in an Airport diner! 4 hours in a Airport was not sounding like fun I just wanted to be home. At least the smoking area is right by our gate and I go in pissed and bitching and suck 2 cigs down while everyone in there had sympathy to my plight! ha-ha. We did end up having a great dinner at a pizza place and I actually bought a book and read until our flight. Funny watching my 14 & 15 year old daughters and 18 year old niece color in coloring books for entertainment! The flight arrived on time and we made it home about 11:30 dead tired. But this is the greatest vacation ever don't mind my little crabby areas of dictation because Disneyland and California Adventure was truly the bomb!!!!!! It seems like the little bad things that happenare almost more interesting to write about then the good times! ha-ha

Hollywood here we come.......

We bought Universal Studio tickets with a free shuttle ride to the studio unfortunately we didn't reserve our ride in time to be on the 8 bus we had to be on the 11. Well the pick up bus was a 1/2 an hour late and then we had to go on two more hotel pickups and then we had to go to the bus depot to give them the tickets we printed off the Internet to prove I guess we bought Universal tickets with a free shuttle. What a pain in the ass! Then we get back on the bus and it was a 45 to 1 hour 1/2 to Universal depending on the traffic. Oh the joy of being in a big City!!!!! But as we are driving we are told we have no choice of when we will be taken back to our hotel the only choice is 9:30 pm so we all figure 8 hours in the park will be way enough!!!! We get to the park fairly fast the traffic was good and we did get to see the all famous Hollywood sign. When we step of the bus however we know the park won't be much fun, the wind is blowing and it is fricken cold! It might be 54 degrees but add the moisture in the air and it was plain miserable. Tim had to go buy a thick hoodie and Laurie and I bought gloves! The first thing we do is decide we need to go on this new Mummy ride that they are bragging about. After and hour and 1/2 of waiting in line (no Asians at least) we get on this ride. It is suppose to be a fast indoor roller coaster. Fast is right!!!! Not in speed but in duration, we were on that ride for 30 seconds no joke! I was pissed that sucked!!!!!! And I waited over a fucking hour!!!! Oh well off to the next attraction. Jim Bob told me I had to go on the Jurassic Park ride and dammit I was going to no matter if I got wet and froze to death. On the way to the line someone was selling rain slickers and that was the best $3.00 I spent that day! Now in Disneyland before you get on any ride they have a sign that tells you the approximate waiting time which is usually right on the money. Universal Studios has the same thing but add and hour to anything they post as a waiting time because they LIE! We waited over an hour to get on Jurassic Park and it was worth the wait. That ride was great! You get on these boats and go around the park where you see all these dinosaurs and then you climb this huge climb where you see a water fall and you think shit I am going to get extremely wet but then it stops as you get to it and a HUGE T-Rex comes out of the ceiling and scares the shit out of you. Right after that excitement you descend down a 84 foot drop!!!! That was a hell of a ride! It was freezing and the waiting lines were incredible so we didn't enjoy Universal Studios that much I don't think I will do it again that is for sure. We did however go and see Shreck 4-D and House of Horrors and The Terminator before we left and those shows were pretty awesome. I was glad to walk out the park about 9 and see our bus was waiting because we were all beat and cold. I am excited at this point that tomorrow I get to come home......

Day of rest....

We were smart planning a day of rest but did we really rest? Nah! We had a nice breakfast at the hotel and decided to finally buy a shuttle ticket. We discovered we could ride any of the shuttles we wanted to so we figured out we could ride the shuttle from our hotel to Disneyland do a little shopping in downtown Disney then shuttle back to our hotel and relax by the pool and then shuttle from our hotel to another hotel that was close to Bubba Gumps. So around 4 after relaxing by the pool we decided we would grab early dinner since none of us ate lunch. We were lucky when we road the shuttle to Disneyland then hopped another shuttle we thought would take us to a hotel close to Bubba Gumps, because when we got to the hotel Bubba Gumps was right across the street. Bubba Gumps was great and it was fun looking at all the pictures from the movie Forrest Gump and the food was awesome. Of course I love shrimp so I was in Heaven! After dinner we weren't as lucky we waited forever for the shuttle to pick us up from the hotel to take us back to Disneyland so we could hop the shuttle back to our hotel in which we waited forever for too! Every 20 minutes my ass!!!! At least while we were waiting the boys had fun making fun of the crabby Asian shuttle driver we had that drove us there. That crabby Asian pretty much told us all to "get on bus sit down and shut up!" Then he proceeded to say something about hating Americans. We thought he was pretty funny and so for the rest of our trip and still to this day everyone talks like this Asian guy and we all laugh. So this day was relaxing and we did have fun shopping and we knew the next day we would be back on our feet for the day at Universal Studios! So on to the next day.....

Are we back in Casper?

We woke up to the sound of wind! Did I dream of Disneyland? Wow talk about wind, I guess the Santa Anna winds came in but lucky for us they didn't last all day. We got all ready early and hit the park early thinking people would still be opening Christmas presents and we would be riding rides! Wow lucky for us Laurie remembered we had a early morning entrance into the park because the crowds were phenomenal!!!!! We rushed through the gate while all those people had to wait for at least an hour or more to get in and we rode 5 rides in an hours time and then the flood gates opened! The park was flooded! We decided to go eat breakfast this day because it was just such huge rush of people and we were starving!!!!! Shit we are on our 3rd day in the park and we haven't hardly eaten considering all the walking we have done! I swear the crowd walking toward us from downtown Disneyland was huge they all got done opening their Christmas presents at the same time!!!! When we got to the Rain Forest Cafe' to eat breakfast the lady in the gift shop told us Disneyland sold out! 70,000 people SOLD OUT! Holy Shit huh? Well we ate breakfast did some shopping headed back to the hotel and let the girls swim all afternoon and rest for our evening return to ride that Roller Coaster!!!! We went straight to the California Adventure side of the park because all the Asian's hang out in Disneyland and Disneyland is just busier. We get right to the roller coaster and there is only a 10 minute wait holy shit we all get on and I even keep my eyes open the whole time even around the loop! As we get off I notice there is still hardly any line and I say "Hell lets do it again!" Everyone agrees and we are all hoping we will be the ONE gets the front car! Well we get up there and luck would have it we get the front car!!!!! Short lived excitement for Laurie and I it is Tim's dream so we give up the front car to Tim and Riley and Laurie and I took the second seat. The ride starts off thrilling as ever 5 4 3 2 1 woooooo hooooooo and then skreeeeetch 60mph to zero in nothing flat. Fuck we are stuck at the top of the roller coaster and then sheer panic sets in as I ask Laurie "Where is the other cars are they going to hit us?" Then she starts to panic as well!!!! Well to our relief in short time a park official comes up the cat walk and asks us if we are okay. Then short time after that the safety team comes up secures our car and evacuates the ride. We had to walk down like 5 flights of stairs. Something good came out of it we got free front of the line passes to go on any ride. We chose Soaring over California because we didn't think we would get to ride that again considering it was over a 2 hour wait for that one, and like I said before the ride is beyond AMAZING. The reason the roller coaster quit was due to a computer glitch. Well after all of that we decide to make our way to Disneyland to watch the fireworks since this is our last day in the park. Now it is getting cold and the Santa Anna winds are starting to blow again. We find a seat just outside of Disneyland and we have a hour wait and we are hungry shit we hadn't eaten since breakfast us adults anyhow the kids ate sandwiches about 3 and we have to wait until 9:25 for these fireworks!!!! DAMN Santa Anna winds NO fireworks after waiting an hour and we are all getting GROUCHY! We decide to walk back to the hotel. We are starving at this point, freezing, and our feet hurt worse than anyone can imagine!!!!! We get to the hotel and guess what the restaurant is CLOSED!!!!! We walk to the corner convenience store to get Subway and it is closed too! And the convenience store has no microwavable food like most stores do even in WYOMING! So we had vending machine food for Christmas dinner. Snickers, cookies and chips! NICE!?! Still unbelievably fun though!!!!! On to day five.......

Day 3 Christmas Eve and Hell Are We in Asia!

Day 3 and we are off again. I could barely walk my feet still hurt!!!! We are all walking to the park again and Tim has put bandaids on all my blisters from the day before. Holy shit why couldn't I have been born with regular size feet! I wear a size 2 1/2 in children's shoes is this some kind of cruel joke??? We get to the park a little bit slower then the day before that is for sure and HOLY SHIT who let the Asian's out?!? IT WAS AN ASIAN INVASION (as Randi called it). You can tell where they live it is over populated and they will just run your ass over they don't say excuse me, pardon me, or even FUCK YOU, they just cut you off and cut in front of you! If they have a stroller look out you will be run over! From that day on Laurie said numerous times those damn stroller people!!!!! Remember if you are an Asian American you have the right away!!!!! By the end of the day we were all ready to go Asian bowling. We would take turns being the ball and see how many of them we could take out!!!!!! By the way isn't there a Disneyland in Japan or Tokyo? Well any way when we get in Disney and we are right by my beautiful bakery I tell Laurie I am having my COFFEE & parfait today and I WILL not throw it away! I get inside and they are out of parfaits and I get my coffee and they forgot to flavor it! So guess what? I had to throw the damn coffee away!!!! We didn't get to ride many rides this day at all because the Asians took over Disneyland! I even had to buy those ugly croc garden shoes I swore I wouldn't be caught dead in! But hell they saved my fucking feet I really thought I was going to have to sit out part of our adventure. So after a good part of the day fighting Asian's waiting forever to get on rides and all of our feet needing a break we decided to walk back to our hotel and come back later. So we walk back to our hotel and thought we will have a drink and soak in the hot tub. Well have fun getting a drink at our hotel shit the bar is only open 5 to 10! Luckily for Tim the convenience store on the corner has beer! We never did go back to the park that night we were all beat so we decided we will hit it early in the morning come back to the hotel that afternoon take a break and hit the park at night to ride that Roller Coaster!!!!!! So we stayed up by the hot tub for while and called it a night! On to day four......

Day 2...... RUN it is Space Mountain!!!!!!!!

Sunday morning we wake up early and since we gained an hour in California we all felt ready to go!!!! The weather was gorgeous and we all decided to walk to the park instead of spending $3.00 per person for a whole entire day of shuttle, who's bright idea was that one????? The walk was great in the morning it was about a 20 minute walk and we were all excited and weren't thinking of the agony our feet would be feeling on the walk home!!!!! We get to the park and we beat most of the crowd from pre buying our tickets, boy we were smart on that one... We walk in the gate and the beauty of Disney Land is overpowering at first. I sent you all a pic from my phone of the first thing I saw. It was lush green and just fascinating I will do this again!!!! Laurie and her family have been before 5 years ago so she was making me hurry hurry I was hurrying and taking the pic and send it as I was speed walking! At first I was like whoa sister in law I don't want to miss a thing and Shell needs coffee now!!!!!! Even though my loving sister in law was annoyed with my coffee stop she let me go into the first bakery in downtown Disney. It was beautiful and the people were so nice beckoning me in. I order my coffee and get a yogurt parfait thing and think wow I will sip my coffee and eat as we stroll through downtown Disney. Wow was I wrong. My sister in law and the kids gulped their shit down and Laurie started to almost run! I was like whoa what is the fricken hurry I am enjoying this stroll and my damn coffee!!!! Those of you that know me know that I need coffee to be nice! As I am trying to keep up with my family I notice we are running towards a ride, now in Disneyland you can't tell what you are getting yourself into they are all internal and so you just have to go with the flow. So at the entrance of Space Mountain I have to throw my coffee away that I had two fucking sips of and my only half eaten parfait that tasted like a dream and RUN! Finally I ask Tim why are we fucking running for this damn ride? And a guy running along side us said it is unheard of that there is only a ten minute wait for Space Mountain. I run thinking who the hell cares I had to throw away my coffee and I am pissed! What I didn't know is the length you actually walk inside those rides before you get to part where you ride. I didn't have to throw my coffee away until the last minute which pissed me off even further! So we finally get to the ride after about a 10 minute walk in this mountain that looks like a space ship and Laurie says you are riding with me! I am like what the hell does this do I might not want to go on it! And oh shit we are in the front seat! What if I puke???? She said you will see it is fun! Well it was fun all right and scared the shit out of me! Wow riding a roller coaster in the pitch dark and then what I didn't know is they take a delightful picture of you when you are scared shitless on the ride and when you get out everyone is laughing at everyone's picture!!! I didn't need coffee after that nor was I pissed about throwing mine away anymore it got my adrenaline going and it was exhilarating and I had so much fun I was ready to run to every ride in the park! Wow we did too! These rides are fricken amazing and the wait you really don't give a shit about because every one of them is of great length and so unforgettable! We had a great first day in the park we hardly had to wait in line at all except for the Indiana Jones ride and boy after riding that one I would of waited an hour if we had too! The Splash Mountain one was great too who new riding around in a log and falling 50 feet could be so much fun! I did buy that picture Brooke's face when we fell was priceless!!!!!! Who would of know being scared out of your mind would be such a highlight to my day! We road about every ride in Disneyland in about a little over an hour and we decided to hop on over to California Adventure. California Adventure is AMAZING I think I actually like it better then Disneyland, it is less busy and the roller coaster and soaring over California were the most amazing rides I will ever have the chance to be on!!!! Soaring over California was the first one we hit in that park. That was well worth the 30 minute wait. You get in these seats and they raise you up into a HUGE wrap around screen and you feel like you are hang gliding over the Ocean, a forest, mountains, and many other things! It was incredible and when you flew over the Ocean you could smell the ocean and when you flew over the mountains you could smell pine. It was the most impressive thing I have ever done it was like floating on a cloud and the fee I paid for our three day passes was truly worth this ride alone!!!!!! Next the roller coaster I was like "oh I don't know you go upside down over mickey mouses head?" I was nervous I am not young anymore but hell we were in line and I don't think anyone is letting me chicken out! Well at the beginning of the ride you start out in the water and they do a count down and you are off! 60 miles an hour or faster and at first I FORGOT to breath I was like "breath Michelle just breath!" I saw the upside part coming and I shut my eyes tight! I tell you what I wanted to do that roller coaster again and again that was a thrill not easily duplicated! My favorite ride to date is Screamin California! Amazing we all knew we would have to ride that one again but at night!!!!! My next favorite ride was Tower of Terror. Now even though Laurie and her family had been before this ride was just being built so we would all experience this together for the first time. Talk about cool! You walk in and it looks like a old Hollywood hotel that was abandoned in the 30's. Everything on these rides is so authentic! We wind around the lobby and into this room where everyone stands in the middle of the room and this old black and white tv comes on telling you about the people that disappeared in the hotel one night in the elevator it is a twilight zone movie. Then they open the doors and tell us our service elevator is waiting for us. We wind around a boiler room and enter the elevator where we all sit and everything turns black and all you see is space! Totally cool then you stop on a floor the doors open and floor shows you the ghosts of the people that disappeared and then you go down to another floor where you see a huge mirror that reflects everyone on the ride then the mirror goes ghostly the doors to the elevator shut and it drops you all the way down, and then back up where the doors open to the outside and you can see the whole park! Now that was fun!!!!! We did so many incredible rides I couldn't possibly give justice just by writing about each and every one of them!!!! When we rode everything we could and our feet were so dead we decided we wanted to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe'. Wow we had to wait 2 HOURS but you know it was totally worth it! Walking back to the room that night was slow, we were all so dead tired we decided to walk to the restaurant. I honestly didn't think that my feet were going to make it! The Rain Forest Cafe' was well worth the wait and we all laughed at our hefty tickets! Wow that was an only one time thing! Then the walk back to the hotel I don't think my feet have ever hurt that bad!!!!! Thank God for a hot tub at our hotel!!!!!! Well now on to day three........

Departure Day

I am glad to see I was missed I missed all of you very much!  I will walk you through my beautiful vacation day by day.  You are all probably saying spare me!  Will not all of it but just enough so you might feel you were there with me!  ha-ha  And it is like my diary so I can relive it later!  It sucked we didn't have internet because I wanted to do this on a real day to day blog so I didn't mix up days and I would type it while it was fresh in my memory and I wouldn't leave out something cool.  Oh well here it goes..........  I hope I don't bore ya!

Departure day:

We got to the airport only to sit and sit before departure, be at then airport 2 hours before the flight out of Casper ha-ha what a joke, like Casper Airport is busy!  But in CASPER I can at least sit in the bar and have 2 Bloody Mary's and smoke my little ass off!  Try that in the next two airports!  We depart only a few minutes late and I didn't care I was going to California and shit I had a couple drinks!  Wow loading on the plane I froze my face off!!!!  We had a great flight and we arrove in Salt Lake City and of course the Children of the corn are hungry!  We feed them as we run to our next gate and it is delayed an hour!  Oh well at this point I am happy I am going to California! So we eat and hell we find a smoking area easy enough this time however!  Well we be lucky again?  Our plane finally arrives and we arrive at LAX and yippppeee all our luggage arrived! Perfect so far!  Laurie and I made the guys wait for the luggage so we can go out side to smoke, wow you think we drive like assholes here?  It was lunacy in Los Angeles!!!!  I have road rage here?  Wow there I couldn't imagine! Our Shuttle arrives like it is suppose to and we get to our hotel in one piece, which was amazing considering how they drive!  Wow and I was in the middle of the seat and I could see the swerves and near misses we were taking!  Holy Shit you definitely wear your seat belt there!!!!! By the time we made it to our hotel which was about an hour drive from LAS we were hungry and a bit tired from our travel so we ate and had a few drinks and decided to call it a night so we could start early in the morning.  So far so good!!!!!  On to day two.........

Let the girls hang out.......Literally!!!

Hey all! What a time we had last night! I think anyone that stands too close to me today will get intoxicated off of my BREATH!!!! I think I need to own a titty bar! I can't even post the pics from last night here! Boy we are a bunch of porn stars! We will name the titty bar hmmmmm how about Titties & Beer! Scott certainly came in with a smile on his face from all the pics, I don't think his WIFE thinks we are funny though! I feel bad about that. Scotty is are buddy we mean no harm! A wayward pic even got sent to Derrick! He liked it though ha-ha! I am sure he thinks we are a bunch of crazy old ladies! Boy I will miss you all so much. Life is certainly great and this has been such a great year for me. The best thing about 2007 is the friends I have made in this year! We are family. I always wanted a sister now I have a whole bunch of them! I am leaving to California tomorrow and my anticipation is rising up in my still drunk body as I type this! Love all around! Look for my Disney Land blogs and I will be thinking of each and everyone of you. Have a blessed Christmas!

Song in my head today!

Dani California
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and momma was a hippie
In Alabama, she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Condemned everywhere sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess I'm your priestYeah, Yeah
She's a lover, baby and a fighter
She should've seen it comin when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California,
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya'
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess I'm your priestYeah, Yeah
Who knew the harder side of you
Who knew what all this got to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true too sad sad sad
First to fade her, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it, up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess I'm your priest
Yeah, Yeah(2x)

Two more days until California!!!!

Damn I am getting excited 2 more days until I will be in California!!!!! I will miss you all but I do plan on blogging so you can see pics and I can let you know about the fun. I hope you all will comment so I can keep in touch with you all too! I will be calling you all on Christmas to wish you happiness! I don't know if I mentioned but Boobs is moving back!!!! I am sure she will be here in time for Christmas. She is moving in with Steve and I think maybe this time they will do it right! Love is such a hard thing sometimes. I am just glad to have the whole gang back, I am looking forward to after the first of the year all going out and raising some HELL! Tonight I will run home and get my packing started and if Tim is cool with it I can meet you all out for a Holiday drink! Last night I got a lot accomplished I think right now I am just nervous getting everything done and ready and not forgetting something! Well everyone hope to see you tonight! Love all around!

Thought for the day:

Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

One More Last Chance
Vince Gill

She was standing at the front door
When i came home last night
A good book in her left hand
And a rollin' pin in the right
She said you've come home for the last time
With whiskey on your breath
If you don't listen to my preachin' boy
I'm goin' to have to beat you half to death

Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

First she hid my glasses'cause she knows that i can't see
She said you ain't goin' nowhere boy'til you spend a little time with me
Then the boys called from the honky tonk
Said there's a party goin' on down here
Well she might've took my car keys
But she forgot about my old john deere

So give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through
I know i drive you crazy baby
It's the best that i can do
We're just some good ol' boys, a makin' noise
I ain't a runnin' 'round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we're through

Getting even

Still no pics from the Christmas party. I am sorry Timmy hasn't downloaded them for me yet. But you are probably wondering what I did to Scott to maybe kinda of deserve the awful place mat picture. So let me tell you a few things that have happened before that. I don't think I have ever done more to Scotty then he has me but he is still going to pay for the place mat thing even though every day he says "We are even now, right?". Not on your life buddy!!!!! Well back when I first started at WL, Scott one day came in with cat shit all over his jeans and when I asked him what happened he said he had left his window open in his truck and a cat crapped on the seat. Now would Scott deserve that? Yes he would I am here to tell you he is a cat hater and has been know to kick them now and then. Well back to the story when he left to go change his jeans I printed off every cat picture I could find on the Internet and wrote the caption "Run everyone her comes Scott!" and then I proceeded to wallpaper his office with them. That is how it all began. I love Scott like a brother but he can be a real ass at times and sometimes he yells at me at work when he is grouchy so I feel I am totally justified in being mean to him on occasion. Scott has a tendency to throw pennies at me all the time and then load my drawers and any where else he can put pennies with pennies out of his pockets, he has so graciously saved up for me. So I started saving those pennies in a cup until I had a dollars worth at least and as I was visiting him one day in his office I put them all in his cowboy hat without being detected. Now Scott is a real dumb ass for not noticing me loading his hat with that many pennies as we are talking but I guess we will chalk that up to dead brain cells from drinking too much! Around lunch time I could hear pennies falling all over the floor and Scott say "SON OF A BITCH!" and I could vision him putting on his hat as a cascade of pennies feel all over his head! Pay Back accomplished! Then there is the matter of these disgusting little chocolate mints. A customer of ours brought us these disgusting little mints for Christmas and no one would eat them and who knows which one of us started it but they would end up in weird little places, like in every file in my desk, my purse, my car, my gas tank thing by the lid, on the toilet paper roll in the bathroom so when you pulled on it they would fall out, anywhere the little fucking things could possibly be found! And in turn I would put them in every pocket of his jeans when his laundry was delivered, his hat, in his office, in his truck you name it he got them back. You know I am still finding those damn things and it has been over a year!!!!! Then there are the pictures of Scott that I so fondly pass around the company. He is such a good person to get a picture of! The last straw for Scott I think is when I gave Bobbie a girl from the Bowie Plant a pic of Scott wearing my biker vest and hat and she printed them off and stuck them on everyones windshield in the parking lot of the Bowie plant or it could of been the picture I sent her of him doing the all famous Pour Some Sugar On Me dance. You all know the one I will even post the pic here, thanks Dd for catching this! But all and all I love the shit out of Scotty and well there truly ever be called a truce? I don't think so! So as for Scott Wesley there will be payback so you better look out! Love all around!

Thought for the day:

Fake Friends/Real Friends

FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
REAL FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.
FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr / Mrs
REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM
FAKE FRIENDS: Never seen you cry
REAL FRIENDS: Cry with you
FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back
REAL FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours
FAKE FRIENDS: Know a few things about you
REAL FRIENDS: Could write a book about you with direct quotes from you
FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing
REAL FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds butt that left you
FAKE FRIENDS: Would knock on your front door
REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say 'I'M HOME!'
FAKE FRIENDS: Are for awhile
REAL FRIENDS: Are for life
FAKE FRIENDS: Will talk bad to the person who talks bad about you.
REAL FRIENDS: Will knock the person out that talked bad about you!

Song in my head on this crazy busy Monday!!!!

Hotel California
Eagles

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

Payback is a bitch or is it a placemat?

Well my Christmas party was fun like every year. Boy did Scott Wesley get even with me!!!! That little shit better look out because game is on! I started at WL Plastics 7 years ago. When I started I was probably 50 pounds heavier I wore an 18 in jeans and now I wear an 8 and in a few styles a 6. I do still have a good 20 lbs to go to be what society considers skinny but hell I am a happy! Also when I started I had long hair that I permed and wore in a 80's style which I call feathered hair. You are probably wondering why I am telling you this...... Well a couple of months ago we found pictures of the start up of WL Plastics and Scott and I were looking through the pictures and putting them in a remembrance album for Steve the owner. That is when we came across the hideous picture, and I mean to tell you hideous! I think I looked pregnant and I think part of my gut was even resting on my desk in which I was leaning over picking up some papers when someone took the lovely picture. Well right when Scott saw the picture he was like "Wow Michelle that is some nice hair!" I quickly took the picture from his hands and tore it in a bazillion pieces, but what I forgot is 7 years ago there were damn NEGATIVES!!!!!!!! So Scott took the negative and you want to know what that little asshole did with them? Well let me tell you....... I walked into the restaurant with Tim, Derrick & Launa and met up with Kenny, Gayle, Scott and Tracy right away. Phil and Liesa are already at a table saving it for us. So we all get a drink and were visiting at the bar when I decide we better go get our seats so we can all sit together. When I get to my table I remove the napkin from the table to set aside and to my HORROR there is that damn picture on my fucking place mat. It gets better I look around and it is on EVERYONE'S in the whole fucking restaurant's place mat!!!! Well thank gosh most of them were like who is that and I would say "shit I don't know!" Then there were some that of course known me forever that were like will you sign this for me and they were greeted with me balling up the place mat and throwing it back at them! I did chase Scott through the restaurant when I first saw the place mat and he ran and hid in the men's bathroom for a while. My husband saw the place mat before I got to the table and he proceeded to tell Phil and Liesa I was going to be pissed! All of you that know me know I really don't like my picture taken and in fact am one of the most unphotogenic person alive!!!! Well I surprised Tim and myself actually I took it in stride and laughed about it amongst my friends. I was however dying inside thinking "OH MY HOW FUCKING EMBARRASSING!!!!!" I handled myself with class and am now plotting my revenge!!!!!! I have some pictures from the party that I will hopefully post tomorrow and tell you more about the fun we had. Love all around!

Thought for the day:

I would rather be fat then ugly cause you can always lose weight!!!!!!

Song in my head today...... Let's get the party started Launa!!!

Paralyzer
Finger Eleven

I hold on so nervously
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far, has not been good
It’s been shitty
And I feel awkward, as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

Well I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I’m looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well I’m still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place

Well, I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

We’ll, I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

Party like a Rock Star!!!!!

It is Friday! Tonight is the Christmas party. I look forward to this every year. I love all the guys I work with like family so it is fun to be all together and have a good time! Hopefully I can keep up tonight I am a little tired. I am sure after the red headed slut shots hit my body I will be my usual party girl self! Launa has a hot date with Derrick so she will be with us tonight to! Isn't it great to have a HOT designated driver that is so much fun to be around? I think Launa is tops in my book, thanks Launa for being a good friend! If we end up somewhere after the party I will give you all a call and see if any or you are out.

Last night I had a good time. Theresa and Seany invited us to Sidelines to watch the Bronco's get their ass kicked! Who in the fuck are the Texans? Never heard of this team before. Ha-ha I didn't even know the Houston Oilers were not a team anymore! You can tell I am not a HUGE football fan. Well I hope all of you have a great weekend, don't forget Dorie's Christmas party 8 pm Saturday night! I am sure I will have some great pictures to share with you all on Monday. Love all around!

Thought for the day:

May you always have LOVE to share, HEALTH to spare and FRIENDS that care...

What song is in my head today? Do you think maybe I have a thing for songs about big ass's? Ha-ha

Queen
Fat Bottom Girls

Ah down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin' world go round

Hey i was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But i knew life before i left my nursery
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me
Hey hey!

I've been singing with my band
Across the wire across the land
I seen ev'ry blue eyed floozy on the way
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time

Oh won't you take me home tonight?
Oh down beside your red firelight
Oh and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round

Hey listen here

Ain't no beauty queens in this locality (i tell you)
Oh but i still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure
Heap big woman you gonna make a big man out of me

Now get this
Oh you gonna take me home tonight (please)
Oh down beside your red firelight
Oh you gonna let it all hang out

Oooh yeah them fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls

Fat bottomed girls

One More Day Until Friday!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all! Dorie is having a Christmas party at her house Saturday at 8 pm and everyone is invited! I won't promise I will be there and if I am probably not for to long because tomorrow night is my Christmas Party and if it is anything like last year I will be partying until the wee hours of Saturday Morning. I hope you all go Dorie is really looking forward to seeing you all! Saturday no sleep for me! Randi has a basketball game and the dog needs groomed and my house needs cleaned! YIKES! Because next Saturday I am leaving for CALIFORNIA! Yippeeeee!!! Last year at the Christmas party I got drunk (big surprise I am sure!) and then we went to Scott's house and then to the titty bar and then to breakfast I think we all got home about 4 am! So I bet Saturday I will be feeling like SHIT! I love to party like a Rock Star but shit I am not good at doing it two nights in a row! One night is enough for me, I need a day of rest in between my fun! Too old for a two nighter! I did that in Sundance/Sturgis and it about killed me. Talk about feeling old! Well love all around and I think my thought for the day is pretty much covered with the pic up above and also remember don't eat yellow snow!!!!! ha-ha

Song in my head for Hump Day!

Rock Me Tonite
Billy Squier

I'm rockin' tonite--i'm walkin' on air
Gonna find me some trouble--gonna grab my share
I want ya tonite--i want ya with me
Make me guilty of love in the first degree

(you want it all right)...we're goin' in style
Say you walk right--you talk right--and your hair's so wild
(snow-white)--hey that's not what i mean
We go down in the shadows and crawl between

Moonlight in the city brings the magic to your eyes
Freezin' a moment--leave me paralyzed
Breathe an emotion--set it dancin' in my ear
Bring on the rhythm when i hold you near

Take me in your arms--roll me through the night
Take me to your heart--rock me tonite

(you do it all right)--you're passion to see
You been schooled in the arts of romancin' me
(hold tight)--you're in for a ride
Can you feel the blood poundin' way down inside

--no one's stoppin' us now--
We go down, down where the music's loud
(if it's all night)--hey that's all right by me
Go and play on my love--play it all for me

Life's never easy--we can make it if we try
Takin' our chances--fac'em side by side
Live for the moment--on that we can agree
Come and take me where i long to be

Take me in your arms--roll me through the night
Take me to your heart--rock me tonite
A time for all...and all in time
A step beyond the borderline

Of who we are and where we long to be...
When every night you hear the sound
Of wakin' up and breakin' down
You find a chance and heave it all away

Take me in your arms--roll me through the night
Take me to your heart--rock me tonite

Hump Day.....

Well have the week is here! And 10 more days until I am in sunny California! The wind is blowing 60 mph and that is really fun with all the snow we have on the ground! YUCK! I don't have much to blog about today, but I just wanted to say that Bobbie, her Auntie, and Auntie's daughter and her family are in my thoughts. Bobbie's cousin had twins prematurely and one died and the funeral was yesterday. So today I thought it fitting for this poem I love, it also covers the thought for the day. Love all around.

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time

that I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time

that I you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss

and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word,

so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,

I could spare and extra minute

to stop and say "I love you,"

instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day,

well I'm sure you'll have so many more,

so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow

to make up for an oversight,

and we always get a second chance

to make everything just right.

There will always be another day

to say "I love you,"

and certainly there's another chance

to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,

and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you

and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,

young or old alike,

And today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,

why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes,

you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss

and you were too busy to grant someone,

what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,

and Whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them

and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm Sorry,"

"Please forgive me," Thank you," or "it's okay."

And if tomorrow never comes,

you'll have no regrets about today.
