Goooood Evennnninnng!

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE! I hope everyone had fun. We got lots of rain so we didn't have many brave ones. But the kids that came made out like bandits. Fistfuls of candy. I told one little kid to tell his mom he wanted the candy for breakfast. Alex is out with his friends. It's so hard for me to let him go be a teenager. I'm getting better. He dressed like the grim reaper and was going to hand out candy until his friends came by. That's okay. At least he is having fun.

Been busy getting the house in order and adding the little homey touches. Hubby has to work tomorrow. It's been nice having him home for 3 days. He has had lots of honey-do lists, but he said he doesn't mind. Of course he gets rewarded for his work.

Well, I'm going to put the princess to bed. Have a ghoul night.

This Blog's For You, Mom!

Mom says we( Lisa, Will, Ron, and I) haven't been updating enough. I see and talk to her everyday, so she knows what's going on in my life. Unless she wants to hear about my sex life, boy won't that give her some hot reading. Aye chiwawa. So, anyway, I'm updating.

It's been a long day. Spent 2hrs at Erin's school getting her measurements for a new wheelchair. We have been trying to get a new chair since Aug but the insurance keeps wanting more and more info. She doesn't need a hi-tech, just a chair so that when she gets worn out from walking, she can still enjoy her time out. She can walk, but she gets tired easily and decides to sit down where ever she happens to be and if you try to get her moving again, sometimes she will lay down and laugh at you. It's a good thing she's cute, what a stinker. She loves being out and about, but she just can't walk any distance, so if a place doesn't have a wheelchair, we are screwed. She outgrew her last one and we've been making due, but there is so much we would like to do as a family. Plus, since the weather is nice, we can go for walks in the evening and weekends. Now we just have to wait and see if the insurance is happy and will pay for it.

As for my interview, it didn't happen. I get there and they didn't have a specific form that they are supposed to use to ask certain questions, so now I have to wait until next Tuesday. Luckily, they will be making the decision that day, so I will know rather quickly if I got it. I'll have to dazzle with my wit. As for flashing the twins, sorry brother dear, the interviewers are straight women. Plus if they were men, hubby wouldn't appreciate it. He didn't even want me to work in a barber shop, because when I cut his hair, they are right in his face. I just told him that I would make better tips. Men. I keep trying to convince him to let me get a reduction, but he won't go for that either.

The kids don't have school tomorrow, so I get to sleep in a little. I'm sure the princess will be up rather early. She's on her school schedule. She has been so goofy and giggly lately. She just loves her new house. She even sqeals now. It's hard to feed her supper lately because she is always laughing and trying to leave the table. Oh well, she'll eat when she's hungry.

Alex has his first basketball game next Friday night. I'm so excited for him. He won't be starting but this is his first year playing and the other boys have been playing as a team for several years. But he will get to play. And hubby has the night off of work, so he will get to go to the game.

Well, I'm tired. We get the new washer and dryer tomorrow, hubby can't wait, he wants to be the first to use it. He told me to make sure that he has some dirty clothes to wash. I keep teasing him that he will have to be sleeping because he works tonight and tomorrow and he said that he will wake up to do laundrey, what a goober. lol

Best Things About Being Mimi!

I feel as if I'm walking a bit taller lately. We got moved into the new house and I no longer get the creeps at night and I can finally sleep. So, with that in mind, I decided to do a list of things that make it great being me.

My family needs its own sitcom. Hubby would be the typical long-suffering blue collar guy. My mom is a nut and is where I got my humor from, she's my best friend and now that we are under the same roof, hubby doesn't stand a chance, but he does eat good. Alex is the typical angyst(?) ridden teenager, driven by hormones and a love of boobs. Erin is the princess that everyone caters to. Then you have the brothers and sister on my side. We have such a crazy sense of humor. Dans side is the country folk. I laugh every day. I love it.

Another great thing about my life right now is VH1 has another I love the 80's series on. I'm addicted to the 80's and I live for these specials. It's like a bunch of flashbacks to jr high and high school.

I have an interview tomorrow to work in the local post office part time. Hmmmm, someone crazy like me in the post office, very fitting, I'm sure to get the job. lol. We'll see, I'm not holding my breath, but I can't wait to see my fat ass in those polyester uniforms, yummy. Cliff Claven, watch out.

I love my husband because he lets me stick my cold feet on his warm body. What a man. lol

I'm walking on sunshine, yeah.

Back on the Face of the Earth.

Well, I'm back. It's been a crazy busy week. We closed on the house on Friday. Loaded the U-haul Sat and Sun. Got most of the stuff here Sunday, but we still had to go back with the mini-van several times. Yesterday, we finally got the last of it. Thank goodness. Now, I have to unpack and get Mom moved in this weekend. In the midst of all that, Alex started basketball practice. I would like to just breath. Laudrey has piled up, I can't find anything, and hubby went back to work yesterday. I think I'll be straightened out by Thanksgiving. lol

So that explains my absense. I'm sure you all missed me. NOT! Anyway, I probably won't post again until Sunday or Monday.

Keep on truckin' my peeps.

Serenity Now!

OMG!!!!!!!! My son comes home from his friends and tells me that the treasure hunters are out front. What that narrows down to is, people going through our trash. We cleaned out our basement and we had mounds of stuff we gave away that was good and we had mounds of stuff that was shit, pure and simple. Well, there are 5 people digging through the shit right now. I walked hubby out the car since it was time for him to leave for work and one of the ladies had the nerve to say, I found a show for a little guy, do you have the other? Dan said the stuff was junk and that's why it was out for the trashmen. She told me that there was a lot of nice stuff in there. Yikes. After hubby got on his way she told me that everyone in town does this. I don't, there is a reason people throw stuff away. I told her I didn't want to have to come out and put my stuff back into the boxes or trash cans. Alex, Dan, and I had it neatly put out there to make it easier for the trashmen in the morning and now it is strung all over the place. Dan told me just to go pack the back bedrooms then I won't have to see them. Am I wrong to be this uptight? Oh well, we move this weekend and all will be well. I hope.

Message to My Family.

How did my blog turn into a discussion on dogs nuts? I really didn't go in that direction. You people have very sick minds and I am totally offended.lol This is what can go terribly wrong in the minds of family.

All of my other readers, now you see why I am so crazy and have some far out things going through my mind. Oh well, family, gotta love them.

A Differant Direction.

Okay, Romey did a list about his top 10 do-able women/girls. I thought that would be a good idea, until I came up with the bright idea to go in a different direction. So, I came up with a list of my own. Here goes.

Mimi's list of guys that would turn her into a lesbian(or if you are a lesbian, make a list of girls that would make you go back to guys, or guys do a list of girls that would make you turn gay, or gay men do a list of men that would make you want women, or if you are into animals, a list of animals that would make you go back to humans. Anyway, you all know where I'm going with this, phew.) No particle order, just off the top of my head.

1. James Spader, he creeps me out.
2. Micky Rourke, scary as shit.
3. Dennis Rodman, I wouldn't want a guy that wears dresses more than I do.
4. Steve Irwin, the Croc Hunter. He is just out of this world insane.
5. Sean Penn, icky.
6. Russell Crowe, too badass.
7. Any of the Baldwins.
8. John Travolta, more like John Revolting.
9. My ex-husband, the years were not kind to him.
10. Kid Rock, but he could redeem himself if he washed his hair.

So that is my list, and I'm sure all of these men are very happy that I don't want them. Boy did they dodge a bullet, lol. I'm not perfect, but I still want to have choices.

I invite anyone that reads this to make their own list.

Tag, I'm It!

Molly tagged me. I know some people in my family think these things are "hookey"(Will) but they are totally up my alley.

So, without furthe adeu, I give you my 5 guilty pleasures(I know they will make me sound like a teenager and not my very mature 33 yrs):

1. Degrassi, Canadian melo-drama, I can't resist it. I even have my wonderful husband hooked.

2. Blueberry muffin batter. Mom always said that it would give me worms, but I say, bring on the worms.

3. Tom Jones and any of the Rat Pack(Dino, Frankie, Sammy, you name it).

4. Grabbing hubby's ass. I think it's just so adorable I have to grab it all the time.

5. Useless trivia. I would love to be able to have a job that would really make use of this useless shit that is floating in my head.

So, now I will tag others:
Will
Lisa
Rob
Rhia
Get to it, Ya'll.

Jazzy!!!!!!!!!!



I'm Jasper, they call me Jazzy, but I prefer Your Majesty. I rule around here and what I say goes, but these people are about to piss me off because, I know that we are moving to a new house next weekend and they are going to make me ride in a car. I'll get even with them. When they least expect it, I'll knock over the trash in the middle of the night and scare the shit out of Mimi, she's the only one that will hear it because the others sleep like logs. I keep hearing them tell my boy, Alex, that this is the last time he will have to move until he's out of school because they bought a house. I don't know why they aren't telling me what's going on. Do they think I'm stupid? If I was stupid, would I be able to type on this computer? I think not. If I was stupid, would I be able to get the dog in trouble? Guess again humans. Baw haw haw...................

Timmy!




Hi, I'm Timmy the Wonderdog. I'm a longhaired mini dacshound, but my mommy just says I'm a nimrod. Daddy calls me the wonderdog because he wonders how I make it through the day without causing myself too much pain. I do impressions. I can do a prairie dog and Ben Franklin, the photo on the left is the prairie dog, mommy doesn't have a photo of me doing Ben. Oh well, maybe next time. I have one blue eye and one brown eye, so I'm very unique.

Can't Sleep, Figures!




I can't sleep, I went to bed at 11 and it's almost 2 and I'm still awake, grrrrrr. So I'm blogging.

For those new to my life, I met my husband on the internet. We were in a gaming site and started talking, this is the pic I sent to him and he still agreed to meet me. He must have been lonely. This was taken when I was blonde, my sister is the one driving. The day Dan and I met, my hair was fire engine red and just crazy spikey, I was in cosmotology school, so I experimented a lot.

The other pic is my goober of a son, Alex and Dan's nephew, Skyler at the Festival of trees, last year. Behind them, is my fat ass, and the more I make the pic longer, the skinnier my utterly huge ass looks. By the way, those poor Levi's I'm wearing meet a dreadful end, hubby finally made me throw them out when the nice little worn parts in the crotch and butt area actually turned into rips and tears and there was no patching or redeeming them, I personally was starting a new fashion trend. Jeans that air out the cooter, hubby didn't like it.

In the other pic, you find Mom, hubby and I checking out the gingerbreadmen we just bought. I was checking to make sure they were really men, because I sure didn't want to eat a woman, hubby might like that too much. lol

Forgive the way the pics and text look, I'm still learning how to do this.

Pissed Off!

I tend to bend over backwards for everyone around me and drop whatever I'm doing to help them and when I want help I can never seem to get it. Dan and I always help his brother out whenever they need anything like work on their house or babysit for 12 hrs at a time, but when we mentioned that we were moving the thing that was said to us by his brothers mother-in-law was "well, you won't get any help from any of us over here" So needless to say, I'm a little ticked off and will just be staying to myself. The baby turns 1 on the 11th and I'll send Dan over with a gift, but I can't be a doormat forever. Oh well. Lesson learned. We'll manage by ourselves.
