Song in my head today.....

She Talks To Angels
Black Crowes

she never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
She paints her eyes as black as night, now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes,
The pain's gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels,
They call her out by her name
She talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet

Says she talks to angels,
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She don't know no lover,
None that i ever seen
Yes, to her that ain't nothing
But to me, yeah me,
It's everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes,
The pain's gonna make everything alright, alright yeah

She talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name
Oh yeah, yeah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, they call her out
Don't you know that they call her out by her name

Tell me what you think?

Here is the letter I wrote Randi's coach....

My name is Michelle Garrett I am Randi Garrett’s mother. Randi has asked me not to speak to you on numerous occasions but this time I am not going to stand by her request. I am writing you this letter in hopes you HEAR me. I am not one of those parents that will tell a coach how to coach but I feel that you have crossed a line and I feel the need to tell you how I feel. Randi has played basketball since kindergarten. My daughter has always been very confident in her basketball abilities and loves to play. Is she the best player perhaps not but she has the heart to play. Now all I hear is “I am not good at basketball.” “I can’t do it!” When I first came to your beginning of the season meeting I was excited for her this year you seemed to have a positive approach and you were going to let everyone play. I haven’t seen any positive approach to your coaching thus far and in actuality you have broken my daughter’s spirit. You have managed to damage Randi’s self esteem to where she won’t even try next year to play basketball. Randi has made it to all your practices except one and has even came to practice with her finger broke and during Christmas vacation even when it was a hardship for my husband and I. My husband and I had to leave work or leave early to have her at those practices. Randi has been very dedicated to your practice schedule. In turn you have shown her that her dedication has meant nothing. I have been at a Saturday game only to see you not even play my daughter. I have also let my daughter leave school on two occasions for out of town games only for her to sit on the bench. Please tell me Coach how you would feel if you were the only teammate that sat on the bench and didn’t get to play? How would you feel about your self worth or your dedication to the team after that was done to you? Imagine how Randi must have felt in Cheyenne seeing all her teammates play and she was the only one left just to watch. Randi is an honor society student and it is not acceptable that she is taken out of school for her to sit on a bench and watch her teammates play. I understand that she is a JV player but I have also seen when the JV does get to play their little 2 quarter games you pull the JV girls out to let your Varsity players play and in fact more so then the JV girls It is only 2 quarters I don’t see why you couldn’t let those JV players finally get to play their game. Then when their isn’t a JV team you told the girls you would let them all play only to see once more my daughter sit on the bench. Randi has also told me you have humiliated her and belittled her in front of her teammates and peers by telling her that she has less basketball ability then everyone else on the team. Maybe you consider my daughter your worse player but really when you are losing the game by over 30 points would it really hurt to let my daughter play and not just sit on the bench? If winning is what you want then why not of just saved my daughter and her parents the heartbreak of this year and have try outs and say “I am sorry Randi you didn’t make the team this year try again next year.” That would have been more of a challenge for her to gain more abilities to try next year then her being torn down by you and embarrassed in front of all her peers. Randi at this point feels you have a problem with her personally. I have never taught my children to be quitters and in fact my main goal in life is to create strong young women that have a I can do it attitude. This is the first time that I feel that Randi should turn in her uniform to you and not play for you or Centennial for the rest of the season. I told Randi she will not be going to your practice today and I am strongly encouraging her to turn in the uniform. You are more then welcome to call me but I am not sure what you could possibly say to me that would make a difference on how I feel at this point or my daughter for that fact. I have never been more disappointed then I am now of the treatment of my daughter from someone in a position such as yours. Your position should be of one that should be there to build self esteem and character in our children. Even with this being said I do however find you to be an outstanding math teacher and my daughter Brooke is learning very much in your class. I hope you take in consideration everything I have said and I hope in turn you will make it easy for Randi to turn in her uniform to you.

What do you think of his reply?????

Michelle,I really don't know where to start with regards to your email. But here it goes, I would like to state to you what I have stated to the team throughout the season and that is that basketball skills have no correlation to what I think of your daughter as a person. I guess I’m way off but I thought Randi and I were getting along fine.She has never expressed any concerns to me about any of the issues you brought up in the email in regards to playing time, embarrassment, or humiliation. I know it's hard to approach a coach if you have a problem but that's part of growing up. If you know anything about me then you know I would sit down and talk to your daughter in a very professional manner. I might not agree with everything but then she would know where I'm coming from.This has been a unique season with regards to numbers and I know playing time has been hard to come by for some of the players. When I had the pre-season meeting we planned on having two teams but situations beyond my control have limited us to one team. When we found out that we couldn't play both games I talked to Randi and a couple of other players with regards to playing time and let them know that I'm sorry we can't play a JV game. If we were playing a JV game she would still be getting playing time. She was taken out of JV games when she asked to come out, she looked tired or she just wasn't hustling. We do that with all the players. As a coach, I feel kids need to understand it’s not how much they play but how they play once in the game that really matters to us and no matter how small your role is you are just as important as everyone else on the team.I’m really confused on the “I haven’t seen any positive approach to coaching” and “being torn down by you and embarrassed”. I tell kids they need to be honest with themselves as far as where they fit in basketball wise but like I said before this has nothing to do with how I feel about them as a person. I'm sorry that Randi feels I haven't been positive with her but I can remember quite a few times when I've publically prasied her for her effort and hustle in front of the whole team. I believe that I’m always trying to look for ways to be positive and encourage players to be the best that they can be. I would still like to have Randi finish the season but I will support whatever decision you make as a family. In the future I would strongly suggest that you and your daughter talk to the coach or teacher before things get as bad as you feel they are today. If Randi understands that playing time will still be limited but she would still fill a valuable role then I would strongly encourage her to continue to be a part of the team.Thanks for the compliment with regards to teaching. I take great pride in providing a positive learning enviornment in both the classroom and on the court.

I am interested what you all think.......

Song in my head.....

Everybody Hurts
R.E.M.

When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong.
Now it's time to sing along.

When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts.

Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts.
Don't throw your hand.
Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life,
the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,everybody cries.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.

(repeat & fade)

(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

Silver Tongue....

Hello all sorry I am late posting. My daughter's are both having trouble with persons in charge at school so I had to send of an email and call a teacher. What is up with these teachers that they don't get they are there to build self esteem not demolish it? So my silver tongue is in use today and all of you know when I get mad to look out. I often wonder to myself do these people know who they are fucking with? Don't fuck with my kid that is for sure!!!!! So my day has been overwhelmed with the situations at hand. I hope you all have a good day!

Thought for the day:

I have learned you are responsible for what you do unless you are a celebrity!

Another boring day in Windy Wyoming!

Not much to report I guess I am just boring this week. It happens.....

When Doves Cry

When I was young I was the biggest Prince fan, I have both his movies, his book, and I had every poster money could buy back then and they were proudly hung all over my room. Still love Prince so here is one of his songs I like.

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and i engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (so cold)
Maybe i'm just 2 demanding
Maybe i'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Touch if u will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (world so cold)
Maybe i'm just 2 demanding
Maybe i'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (a world that's so cold)
Maybe i'm just 2 demanding (maybe, maybe i'm like my father)
Maybe i'm just like my father 2 bold (ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
Don't cry (don't cry)
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry, doves cry)

Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry

Brrrrr it is cold outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else sick of the this sub zero weather? I saw 4 wrecks to work this morning and you know what all of them involved a 4 wheel drive truck! These dumb ass's actually think 4 wheel drive lets them drive fast with these type of conditions! Hello you dumb fucking red necks 4 wheels don't stop any better on ice then two!!!!! I am fighting a fun cold too, so I am so ready for the spring thaw! Well not much to say today ha-ha so here are some tips for 2008 this pretty much covers the thought for the day too! Love all around.

Tips for ladies in year 2008

1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy one in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... a wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just my personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot, it solves nothing; and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons in 2008 - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.

12. Remember every good looking , sweet, single male is someone else's ex boyfriend!

Waylon Jennings
Ramblin Man

Country Music isn't the same without Waylon, now I don't listen to country music much but when I do it is Waylon; he is even on my i-pod.

I've been down the Mississippi,
Down through New Orleans,
Yes, I have.
I've played in California,
There ain't too much I haven't seen.
No, there ain't.
Well, I'm a ramblin' man,
Don't fool around with a ramblin' man.

Left a girl in West Virginia,
Up there where that green grass grows,
Yes, I did.
Another girl in Cincinnati,
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows,
Poor girl!

I'm a ramblin' man,
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man.
You'd better move away,
You're standin' too close to the flame.
Once I mess with your mind,
Your little heart won't beat the same.
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man,
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.
Better not!

Well, up in Chicago,
I was known as "Quiet Boy,"
Yes, I was!
Down in Alabama, They call me "The man of joy,"
Still do!

Well, I'm a ramblin' man,
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man.
You'd better move away,
You're standin' too close to the flame.
Once I mess with your mind,
Your little heart won't beat the same.
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man,
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.

Blue Monday......

So this morning I was listening to the news while I put on my makeup and they said today is Blue Monday. Blue Monday is suppose to be the most depressing day of the year. They say the reason is because by this third week of January people feel depressed about Winter, not starting their new years resolutions or failing them and they suffer from after the Holiday blues. Well so now I have a reason to have a bad day because to be honest my Monday has been a little blue! I think I am getting sick and you know what I am sick of Winter!!!!!! LOL This weekend was fun, Friday night Dorie calls and pretty much begs me to have a couple of drinks with her, now the key word in this sentence is a COUPLE which means two right? Well I cave in I really didn't feel like going and Theresa and I are getting up early the next day to do the Wedding Dress shopping. So when all is said and done Dorie has a couple and she goes home and there we are there until 11:30! It was fun and I am glad I did go but I wasn't looking forward to getting up early. I am up and ready by 8 am and Theresa who promised throughout Friday night that she would still be ready by 9:30 am finally showed up to get me for the days dress shopping at damn near 11:00 o'clock! Bad Girl! Even though we got a late start and the bridal shop was packed we got a lot accomplished. She may not have found the ONE but she certainly narrowed it down to the most flattering style of dress. We had a good time and a good lunch and we certainly got done what we intended too. So when we go down to Denver at least we know the style so that will help on the search for the ONE. They say when you find the ONE you will feel it at the pit of your stomach. I don't think Theresa has had that over powering feeling yet so I am excited to go to Denver. Saturday after Theresa dropped me back off at the house Tim and I had the house to ourselves so we had a nice evening at home and got up Sunday morning and had breakfast together and then later went to the Moonlight to watch the game with Bobbie, Steve, Dd & Kelly. So all in all we had a good weekend and I hope all of you did as well!!!!! Oh sorry Paula about those Packers!!!

One thing I can give and still keep: my word.

Black Velvet
Alannah Myles

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move ev'rything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of ev'ry school girl
Love Me Tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet and that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Ev'ry word of ev'ry song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon
What could you do?
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet in that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please
If you please
If you please
If you please

Friday!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all it is Friday again. I just love Friday's I wake up thinking it is the last day of work for the week, I have dance today, and I get to sleep into tomorrow, and last but not least what kind of fun am I going to find this weekend!!!! Well tomorrow should be fun Theresa, her girls, her mother and I are going to do a little dress shopping. We have to see what Wedding dress's are available in Casper. We are just about 5 months away from the big day so we need to get busy! I colored Theresa's hair last night and she went brown with a hint of red and she looks HOT! She even trusted me to trim her hair, what a brave girl huh!?! Hope it curled okay this morning! After hair coloring and trimming we all had a nice dinner and played a game of Wii bowling. Boy Seany we certainly kicked your little Wii ass! Well you will all be glad to know it was just about $200.00 to fixed my peppermint stick pole damage on my car not bad huh? I was certainly happy with that out come I was thinking it was going to be a lot more! So my little Beep (that is what I call it) will be back to pristine status after Timothy puts the new bumper panel on! Shelly wanted me to warn all of you about an incident that happened to her yesterday. She apparently got a call from an Iraqi needing money and was asking for all her private information and account numbers. She did call the police but how do you catch people like that? So she wants you to be aware of the new scam and my suggestion to all of you is don't answer a call that you don't recognize the number if it is important they will leave you a voice mail and you can call them back. So here is to a great weekend! Love all around!

Thought for the day:

Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death.

AMEN

Lowlife (Living the Highlife)

I got my Cat Scratch Fever eight-track
My best friend's in a gun rack
I'm a lowlife
I owe everybody money
I think racist jokes are funny
I'm a lowlife
I got a dirty mind, a gutter mouth
I'm makin' time, I'm goin' out
With your wife
Cuz I'm a lowlife
I'm a lowlife

I got kids I never seen
And their momma's seventeen
I'm a lowlife
I take strippers out to breakfast
You can add that to my checklist
I'm a lowlife
Ahh the landlord called the rent is due
I spent it all on a Kiss tattoo
I Rock n Roll all night
Cuz I'm a lowlife
I'm a lowlife
I'm a lowlife
Livin' the highlife

I'm watchin' porno on the TV
Wonderin' why she'd ever leave me
I'm a lowlife
The object of my affection
Asked the police for protection
I'm a lowlife
The romance is gone, I'm doin' fine
Me and your mom had a real good time
Just last night
Cuz I'm a lowlife
I'm a lowlife
I make black music for the white man
Keep cocaine upon my nightstand
I'm a lowlife

Ain't never hung out in the Catskills
But I've been to jail in Nashville
I'm a lowlife
I've got a dirty mind, a gutter mouth
I'm makin' time, I'm goin' out
With your wife
I'm a lowlife
I'm a lowlife
I'm a lowlife
Livin' the highlife

Thirsty Thursday????

Hey all. Today is just been hectic from the get go I already need a drink!!!!! So here is a poem I enjoyed hope you do as well. Love all around

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own,

Hump day....

Hey all. Nothing to exciting about a Wednesday is there? Last night I was a good girl stayed home and went to bed early, shit I have to rest up for water aerobics tonight! Tonight is arm and leg work out and I am sure I will feel like a noodle when I am done! I hope I just look good in the dress Theresa will select for me to wear in her wedding! Talking about Wedding, Theresa, me and her girls will be going down to Colorado the weekend of February 15th to find that perfect dress! I hope the weather stays clear because we are all excited! We are going to hit every dress store we can in a weekends time and I am sure we will find the one. February 13th is my 20th anniversary can you believe it? Makes me feel old ha-ha NOT! Well good day to all! Love all around.

Thought for the day:

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends - if they're okay, then it's you. (I think I am safe! Judging from the pic above we know who the crazy one is! ha-ha)

Song in my head today.....

Strokin'
Clarence Carter

When I start makin' love I don't just make love...
I be strokin'

That's what I be doin', huh
I be strokin'
I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokin'

Let me ask you somethin'...
What time of the day do you like to make love
Have you ever made love just before breakfast
Have you ever made love while you watched the late, late show
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on a couch
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on the back seat of a car
I remember one time I made love on the back seat of a car
And the police came and shined his light on me, and I said:
I'm strokin', that's what I'm doin', I be strokin'

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokin'

Let me ask you something...How long has it been since you made love, huh?
Did you make love yesterday
Did you make love last week
Did you make love last year
Or maybe it might be that you plannin' on makin' love tonight
But just remember, when you start making love
You make it hard, long, soft, short
And be strokin'

I be strokin'
I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokin'

Now when I start making love to my woman
I don't stop until I know she's sas-ified
And I can always tell when she gets sas-ified
'Cause when she gets sas-fied she start calling my name
She'd say: 'Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter
Clarence Carter, ooooh shit, Clarence Carter'
The other night I was strokin' my woman
And it got so good to her, you know what she told me
Let me tell you what she told me, she said:
'Stroke it Clarence Carter, but don't stroke so fast
If my stuff ain't tight enough, you can stick it up my...' WOO!
I be strokin' Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I be strokin'

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the westAnd I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokin'I be strokin' Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!I be strokin', Yeah!I be strokin'
I stroke it to the north
I stroke it to the south
I stroke it everywhere
I even stroke it with my... Woo!

I be strokin'I be strokin' Ha! Ha!
I be strokin'

Tuesday & Tired!!!

Well water aerobics kicked my butt last night I am just tired! Paula tried our class and I think she liked it. I can't believe I forgot to post a song for the day yesterday! Well not many of you comment so I am not sure if anyone reads anymore or even gives a shit about the song of the day anyhow. Ha-ha. Well not much to blog about today maybe tomorrow will bring something new!

Thought for the day: Life Explained.......

On the first day, God created the dog and said:'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes inor walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only tenyears and I'll give you back the other ten?'So God agreed.On the second day, God created the monkey and said:'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll giveyou a twenty-year life span.'The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty longtime to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed.On the third day, God created the cow and said:'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and sufferunder the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family.For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.' The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixtyyears. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?'And God agreed again.On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give youtwenty years.'But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me mytwenty,the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, andthe ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?''Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoyourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support ourfamily. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain thegrandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch andbark at everyone.Life has now been explained to you.There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing itas a public service.

The Peppermint Stick Did It.....

Hey all. Had an awesome weekend all but one thing that is.... I will get to the one thing later... Friday night Tim & I just took it easy and then Saturday night for Mark's Birthday we all went to the 303's Elixir. When we first walked in we all felt out of sorts. This club was as little fancier then we were used to. Tiger stripped carpet, leather couches and chairs and NO smoking! Another thing odd is in this fancy lounge they only offered 3 kind of beers besides the imports so we had a choice of Bud Light, Michelob Ultra or Budweiser Select and it was $5.00 a bottle for the first time ever my mixed drink was cheaper then Tim's beer! After we bitched a bit about the price of beer and the lack of selection and not being able to smoke not even in the Cigar room we had a really, really good time! Can you believe it was only cigars in the cigar room? Cigars smell worse then cigarettes any day! Well anyway I will get off the no smoking thing because in the reality of it I felt better the next day not smoking so much and not inhaling everyone else's second hand smoke. I think it is really convincing me to quit!!!! The band was good they are old friends of Tim and Me's. They are two brothers and a son to one of the brothers. Tim grew up with the two brother's Julian & John John and we watched Drew Julian's son grow up so it was nice to go hear them play. They played different music then we usually hear in the bar. They played a lot of Stevie Ray Vaughn. They loved that our wild bunch all came out because we filled over half the lounge and we all danced our ass's off! After the band stopped at midnight we decided to head over to Butch's, which is unfortunate because then I wouldn't be out some money today if we hadn't gone there isn't hind sight 20/20. We pull into Butch's and I drive clear up the parking lot to fucking discover some dumb asshole parked and blocked the fucking drive through! I was pissed because I had to back up in pitch fucking dark almost a block's length. So I start backing up very slowly and hit my break lights every now and then so we can see what the hell is behind us and then boom! I said "what the fuck?" and Dd said you must of just bottomed out because the cars weren't even near us and I said "NO that couldn't be it I am in a Jeep!" So I pull up and hit my break lights look in my side mirror to see what the hell happened and there was this stupid ass Peppermint stick painted pole that stuck out a little further then the telephone pole. I was pissed at this point but what do you do right? So we finally parked got out and looked what the fucking candy stick did to my Jeep. It broke out my tail light completely and put a dent in my bumper in my now not pristine Jeep! So we will see what the damage is to my pocket book today! Damn fucking peppermint stick painted pole anyway!!!! Well we get into Butch's and what a narley crowd there were fights and too many crank whores in there so we danced a few and called it a night! I have really good pics from our fun but I don't have them downloaded yet as soon as I do I will post them! Sunday Tim & I went to lunch and then hung out at the Moonlight for a while so Zug Zug wouldn't be bored working. So all and all the weekend was a smash sort of speak! LOL Love all around!

Never expect more then you give!

Song in my head for Friday......

Black Dog
Led Zeppelin

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

*ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah., ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

I gotta roll, can't stand still,
Got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill,
Eyes that shine burning red,
Dreams of you all thru my head.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,
Tell me what you do me now.

(repeat)

Didn't take too long 'fore i found out
What people mean my down and out.
Spent my money, took my car,
Started tellin' her friends she wants to be a star.
I don't know but i been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.*

chorus

All i ask for when i pray,
Steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Hot Damn it is Friday!!!!!

Hey all. Nothing exciting last night, I actually just relaxed after Randi's basketball game. Tonight more of the same I am relaxing to prepare for tomorrow night! Zug Zug's man's birthday party at the 303 club Elixir, should prove to be a good time by all. If Zug Zug hasn't got a chance to email you yet everyone is invited I am not sure on the time yet so just text Launa to fill you in. The reason we are going to Elixir's is because some good friends of ours band is playing. The only thing I am worried about with this new club is do they let you smoke and will they be forgiving of all us Crazies! I think there are some places that just might not be able to handle are kinda fun! I hate to not be able to smoke when I am drinking that is like having sex and never getting off don't you think? Well I hope tomorrow night proves to be fun! Love all around!

Song in my head for Thursday....

I Heard It Through The Grapevine

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Oo, bet you're wond'ring how i knew 'bout your plans to make me blue

With some other guy that you knew before?

Between the two of us guys, you know i love you more.

It took me by surprise, i must say, when i found out yesterday. oo,

Chorus:

I heard it through the grapevine, not much longer would you be mine.

Oo, i heard it through the grapevine, and i'm just about to lose my mind.

Honey, honey yeah.

You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears i can't hold inside.

Losin' you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much to me.

You could have told me yourself that you found someone else.

Instead,

Chorus

People say you "hear from what you see, na na not from what you hear.

"I can't help bein' confused; if it's true, won't you tell me dear?

Do you plan to let me go for the other guy that you knew before? oo,

Chorus

Chorus

Is it only Thursday?!?

Damn this week is going slow! Maybe it is because it is the first 5 day week I have worked in a while. Water aerobics was quite the work out last night I got out of the pool feeling like an over done spaghetti noodle and from the ab work out I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach! I keep reminding myself this will all be worth the results! When I got home my great husband had dinner ready that I ate only partially and quickly because I got asked for cocktails and I was so ready! Of course I had to do something with the pool soaked hair, who would want to go to the bar looking like a drowned rat? Thanks Theresa, Sean and Launa for the laughs I had a great time with you all last night! Of course today I am feeling a little tired and have a slight headache but my husband brightened my mood. How? Well ever since we got these new phones with camera's we have been having fun taking pics and sending them back and forth. Sunday I got a pic of Tim's hmmmm how should I say it...... his rock hard wee wee with the text he was thinking of me. Then this morning I get to work and I get a pic of a soft wee wee saying "The Morning After". I guess that doesn't leave much room to the imagination you probably all figured out what we did after cocktails! Ha-ha. No wonder I was so hungry this morning I worked out hard and then worked out some more! I think I actually feel skinner today just from yesterday's activities! Ha-ha I bet the sex I had actually burned more calories then my water aerobics class hmmmmmm sex.... fun.... burn calories. Now that is a the kinda work out I am talking about! Ha-ha. Well have a good day I better stop putting everyone's mind in the gutter this early in the morning!!!! Love all around!

Song in my head for Wednesday.....

Spirit In The Sky
Norman Greenbaum

If I die before you, you will hear this at my funeral. This is an all time favorite of mine!

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best

Life is good.....

Song in my head for this WINDY Tuesday!

Listen To Your Heart
Roxette

This song was featured in one of my all time favorite love stories in the movie The Notebook.

You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.
And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Prepare for a Wedding.....

Well last night Theresa, Chauntelle and I started our water aerobics class to get fit and looking good for Theresa's June wedding. This class is fun! When all is said and done the instructor told us we run in the water about a mile in a 1/2 each class that is 58 in a 1/2 laps! Let me tell you this is a work out! When you get done with an hour of constant moving you feel like a jelly fish and you are shriveled! This class is a challenge but fun all at the same time. I love water so what better way to exercise? We do all this in a indoor aquatic center in what they call the lazy river. What is lazy about this river is the question! We use these foam bar bells and go around this river with and against the current doing different things with our arms and legs for 45 minutes. Then the last 15 minutes we work our abs in the pool. The good thing is doing it in the water I am not sore today but I really felt great after the work out. I think after doing this 2 days a week until June we will be looking pretty damn good! I am just hoping my arms will look good enough to wear what I am sure will be a spaghetti strapped dress. I have never worn a spaghetti strapped dress because of the horror of what I feel my arms look like in one! ha-ha But I would wear anything Theresa asked me to so I better get busy and get myself in shape so I don't feel totally uncomfortable in a gown with my old lady arms!!! What was interesting about doing this water aerobics is the spectators. I wasn't to thrilled when I got in the pool to see like 3 men just sitting on the sides watching! There were children in the other pools playing with their mothers but what in the hell were these men doing on the sidelines of the lazy river? I DON'T need a cheering section! Crazy all I could figure is they were waiting to swim? Who knows but what woman wants a man sitting there watching her look like a total dumb ass running around a lazy river? And believe me with the women in our class it isn't really a great place to pick up a date! So if any of you want to join us go sign up! Love all around!

Thought for the day:

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

Song in my head today....

Fantasy
Aldo Nova

How many of you remember this song from our younger years? It is a good one! What do you think ever happend to Aldo Nova?

Summer breeze makes you feel alright
Neon lights shining brightly make your brain ignite
See the girls with the dresses so tight
Give you love if the price is right
Black or white
In the streets there's no wrong and no right
so forget all that you see
It's not reality
It's just a fantasy
Can't you see
What this crazy life is doing to me
Life is just a fantasy
Can you live this fantasy life
Outasite
Buy your kicks from the man in the white
Feels alright
Powder pleasure in your nose tonight
See the men paint their faces and cry
Like some girl it makes you wonder why
City life sure is cool
But It cuts like a knife
It's your life

The Mii's partied and played!

This weekend was fun. The Wii has been a huge hit and I think we won't be having to take ours to other people's houses to enjoy it because I think everyone is buying one of their own! Talk about exercise! My shoulders hurt so bad from boxing I had to take Advil just to function on Saturday! Am I getting old or what? Friday night we had a ball at Theresa's, throwing darts and playing Wii. It was great having the whole gang there! We hadn't had Paula & Bobbie with us for a while so it was a great time since everyone was there. Pictures? NOPE can you believe it I didn't remember to take my camera! I need to pay attention! ha-ha Shit I still have to post the ones from my Vacation. I will get to those soon I promise! Saturday afternoon we met Scott, Derrick & Paula out for a few drinks at Old Chicago, thanks Scott for the invite & buying the drinks it was fun. Good Bloody Mary's!!!! Bobbie & Steve painted all day so I invited them over for dinner and for them to have some time to kick back after all the work they did all day. Paula was there as well and then Dd and Kel brought the kids over since she promised that the kids could play the Wii. So before we let the kids play all of us adults enjoyed making our own Wii in our likeness. All but Steve, damn if his Mii isn't the nerdiest thing you have seen! ha-ha Steve is always good for a laugh! Sunday we really took it easy. I was tired from a big weekend and a lack of sleep. We did finally have our Christmas dinner though since we missed out on that this Christmas. So all in all it was a great weekend. Here is to great friends! CHEERS!!!! Love all around!

Salt Shaker
Ying Yang Twins

[Chorus: Ying Yang Twins & Lil' Jon]
Shawty crunk on the floor wide open
Skeet so much they call her Billy ocean
Row like eighteen wheeler
That hoe fine but this hoe killer
She leakin, she's soak and wet
She leakin, soak and wet
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)
Shake it like a salt shaker (shake it like a salt shaker)

[Verse One: Kaine]
P poppin, till you percolate
First booty on duty no time to wait
Make it work, with your wet t-shirt
Bitch you gotta shake it till your camel starts to hurt
Say the heals on your feet or the strap around your ankle
Call that bitch bow jangles
Juicy like fruit or posh like coup Deville
Used to get loose on the goose for real

[Verse Two: D-Roc]
Five dollars get your ass a table dance
If you got ten then bring a friend
Hoe shake your ass to the song then
If you ain't with it then we gone then
We ain't no boys we grown men
If you ain't gone dance then don't then
Why you wanna waste a niggaz song
then see your ass down doin nothin

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Lil' Jon]
Face the wall shawty, put your hands on it
Bounce that ass up and down make a nigga want it
Face the wall shawty, put your hands on it
Bounce that ass up and down make a nigga want it
Roll that ass round and round like a motherfuckin' wheel
Shake that shit this ain't no motherfuckin' drill
Roll that ass round and round like a motherfuckin' wheel
Shake that shit this ain't no motherfuckin' drill
Get crunk with it, get loose with it
Like short said let bruce bruce hit it
Get crunk with it, get loose with it
Like short said let bruce bruce hit it
Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww shit!)
Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww shit!)
Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww shit!)
Shake that ass real fast then stop (aaww shit!)

[Chorus]
[Verse Four: D-Roc]
Shake it like a dollar five or ten
But what would you do for a twenty then
Get on the stage shake that ass then
Get on the pole do a back bend
I like that do it again
Here's another ten bitch do it again
Work like a game that you playin' to win
Make that pussy fart for the Ying Yang Twins
Sixteen bitches in thongs in one club
The home of the fifth rate bones and butts?? bitches splittin' all over the floor
Hornafy cant deny certified pro
On the poll upside down, (this shit for real)
Sixty-nine plenty time will pay a bill
At day she a clerk but night she turn (stripper)
You're not even datin your just tryin to (tip her)

[Chorus]
