How many days you ask til I get to Cali?...2 WEEKS BABY!!!

HEDDO!!!

Well well well...here I am updating. Technically this is the second update of the year..I had one Jan. 17th a short one saying that I was going to update soon, but it's not on here. AND then the other day I was updating and SISSER interrupted me and I so could not concetrate. So yeah... :)

So much has been going on lately, but not so much at the same time. Christmas and New Year's was good...but as always I was homesick.

2006 is going fast to me already. In a way..not fast enough, but also too fast. Live racing starts again on April 14th this year, which is 10 days later than normal. Not really looking forward to making all those programs for it, but whatever, it's a paycheck ya know..barely heheh. Anyway, there is a new track going to be built in Chester, PA. And yes, Mike applied for the track announcer position...and got it...yay! Now we are just waiting to hear from the guy to see what they will offer. Now it's not like we have to take this, as you or most of you know Mike is the track announcer here...so no pressure really. However, this new track is going to be I believe a "racino"..which is casino with racetrack. Not sure if it's a full out casino or just the slots..either way it's owned by Harrah's which is cool ya know. Hopefully the offers will be good. But in the next week or so..we'll know for sure if Mike wants to accept it. I would love to move again.. grrr but it has its ups and downs. It most likely will be better money...I'm not worried about me finding a job out there because I have enough experience here at this track..so I'm sure I can do same there..or sumpin...BUT it's further from home. I miss my family and all..but I gotta say..it's not the holidays that sucks being away from home the most...it's the birthdays of any of my kiddies. I wish the Cal Expo announcer would just eff up and be done with. Okay well enough about that ....let's get to the good stuff shall we.

Nope not work...work is blah. But speaking of work I have off March 15th which is in only 2 WEEKS wahooooo-March 28th!! Go Sance..Go Sance...I am going home!!! Yayyyyyyy..Of course any time I go home it's never enough, but hey this time I'm goin for 2 weeks and I didn't even have to beg Mike to come with. He's all excited, which I love. He says he just wants to get away from work and all here, but I think he really just wants to go to bingo there. ahahahhahehehehe. It's cute cause he is counting down the days with me. Not only am I counting down to get home..I'm counting down to GNO 2006!!!! Wahoooooo! It's going to be so much fun. GNO 2006 for those of you who do not know is "Girls Night Out"...It's sort of a tradition for us now..or something like that. It'll consist of us having dinner probably at "The Elephant Bar "and then to the "DoubleTree Hotel" for some drinkies and dancin'... lol..I'm so lookin' forward to it, besides I think all of us could use a night out. Anyhoo, can't wait!!!

I do have some bad news..I didn't win the Mega Millions..did you?? Share huh?

2005-12-21T14:12:00.000-08:00

Well dang, Odie had to go and post...blah!

HEDDO!!!

Okay, here I am posting...not too much going on lately. Work is okay, Mike and I are doing good so yep that's about it. :)

Thanksgiving was good..we had a turkey breast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, corn, potato salad, deviled eggies, rolls, and pumpkin pie...it was good, I cooked it...the pie i bought :) Anyway, it was deeeelish!

Mike's dad came to town on the 11th of December, was only able to stay for a few days...he came in on Sunday, and we drove him home on Thursday. Mon night I had off..and then tues, wed, and thurs. I had off...not much to do around here..so three days in a row we went to bingo!!! I didn't think they would like it that much, but Mike had me lookin up bingo halls. We didn't win, but uh it was definitely quite an experience. Now every time I talk to Mr. B...he's telling me he might go to bingo over there in Indiana, on Tuesday. lol ...

Mike is in a fantasy football league, he came second in the regular games and won the league superbowl thing..wahooo...$540 ..not too bad. Tonight I have to work, and he wont tell me where he's going...I know he's going Christmas shopping, the lil brat goes..when you get home, there will be some 'prises under there for you...lol Poor guy, I hear the baby talk comin' outta him more and more each day.

I blame this on Melm, my sisser, I am pretty much addicted to Ebay now. I've gotten just a few things off there, but thinking about it all the time, I'm even Ebayin' it at work, shhh :D We talk more now than we have ever since I have moved..I know if I'm home, if the phone rings at a certain time, I know who it is..lmao..I love it, cause I talk to Natalie sometimes..but I do hate one thing..when shes telling me a story about work or about anything, i get really into it, then she stops in the middle of the story and says, "I'm sorry France, I don't mean to bore you"...I'm like shuddup, then what happened??? lol Shes really into ebay though..too funny!

Well everything is okay here, but it is that time of the year where I pretty much hate. I can't even remember the last time my whole family has been together for Christmas. I know I have the camera and phone to talk to everybody, but it's really not the same. so blah!!! :( I do have my tree up this year..so wahooo and some decorations..they are so cute! Okay, I would show you but the picture part won't let me so ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! With that note, I'm outta here, gotta get to work...talk to ya later, mushy, lys, love ya byeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-12-05T09:42:00.000-08:00

Yep! I still need to update...

Work is blah...
Christmas is coming, yay!
My tooth hurts, I think I got a piece of popcorn in there, but I dunno...It's a wisdom tooth, so it's already in...

I have 3 days off in a row, I'll update then...byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-12-02T22:20:00.000-08:00

I need to update..and I will soon...wooohooo...it's been almost a month :D

2005-11-07T20:34:00.000-08:00

Some pics...

HEDDO!!!

Okay this first pic, is a view from the Empire State Building...second is another view..click on it..and click on this link...whats the difference?? hmm? http://www.greatbuildings.com/cgi-bin/gbi.cgi/World_Trade_Center.html/cid_wp_1030_005.gbi yep you guessed it..one has the world trade center towers and the other doesnt. Weird..I was just taking pics..and then Mike was like yeah thats where the towers were...pretty cool huh...i was just snapping the camera through the bars hoping to get some cool pics.. :) NEXT. I dont know what the pic is of..but i think its cool...fourth one is the antenna of the empire state building..and last but not least..ME!!! ahahahhehehheeh...hope ya enjoy! (I tried posting earlier but wouldnt work..so finally..below is my blog from DAYSSSSSS ago)

Okay, well since I just deleted my blog thingy that I just posted and wanted to show ya some more pics.....I guess I'll try again..Anyway, I'll finish from my last post. When we went to NY...on Saturday we headed to New York City...That was quite an experience...loved visiting..but not sure if I could live there. I definitely see why people take taxis in Manhattan :D The main reason for going to NYC was because we had dinner plans with Denny's friend. Denny is the older guy that came along with us... WAIT!!! ...the main reason for the whole trip was because there was a horsemen banquest for Monticello raceway in NY which Mike and Denny were invited too...so we'd figure we'd make a trip outta all of it...so I figure..even for only a few days..lets do it! Anyway we drove to a parking garage and took a cab to the restaurant. That was cool...so friggin funny to watch the 3 of us...tryin to get a cab..lmao..who am i kiddin, I was laughin so hard at them, I couldnt even walk..finally we got one. Oh wait..before the cab..we went to the Empire State Building...awesome view...80 floors in like a minute..and those last floors it shakes...then ya go and walk through this thing..and then another 6 floors...that was so cool...we didnt know Denny was scared of heights..but we convinced him to go up there..even if he just stayed in the shop at the top...well he went and walked outside..by himself...didnt go to the edges..but went :DOkay, back to dinner in NYC..at a restaurant called, "Magnifico"..All together there were 9 of us. The first "course" i guess was some breads...I wanna say its kinda like Bruschetta? Or whatever..anyway..lets say breads..and dips...then our host guy..ordered different appetizers..mushrooms..actually 2 different kind...meatballs, muscles..and OMG cuttlefish..holy moly was that good!!! Since there were 9 of us..there were 2 sets of appetizers..and no one on my end was really eating the cuttlefish and muscles..so...NUM NUM NUM NUM NUM I helped myself! I left some..and the guy sitting across from me was like...eat it all..they will just throw it away...so I pretty much did. By now Im not full..but I'm not hungry either. I had ordered obasca? no no..whatever its called was a veal shank...lmao...didnt know what the heck veal was til I talked to momma...mike ordered spaghetti..and denny had the pork...that was good. Mike prolly had two or three bites..the host Joe was teasing him cause he couldnt eat it. With our meal they had ordered wine..a red one..i had maybe a glass and a half...kinda bitter to me..is bitter what im thinking of? Not for me really...tastes like a warm beer....and it was...probably woulda been ok if it was cold...duh sance..ice cubes! anyway...for dessert i had some coconut thing.....didnt taste like coconut to me...more of a sherbert taste......i think I got the guys dessert across from me..which was okay with me..it was num num! Mike didnt have any...not even cheesecake..I almost fell over! Then they served coffee or cappuccino..or whatever ya wanted..then some more dessert bars.....Denny told me it was a 5 course meal.. Mike and I were wondering why they kept bringing food out....weird thing...no salad...lol oh well..that cuttlefish...WHOA!! Anyway..we didnt really know how to get back to Monticello..so Joe the host guy drives us to our car...but first drives us to Times Square...wahooooooooooo..that was cool...didnt take many pics at all though..cause well..I suck..I took a lot of video though lol..

Next time we go..maybe Mike and I will just go...or with someone who hasnt been before..... :D We saw a lot of things on our trip..but helllllo NY..we didnt see ground zero..or statue of liberty...other things we wanna see..but it was still awesome. The view from the empire state building was booooooootiful!

Okay, I'm getting tired...I'd tell ya about the last hotel room we were in, but you are prolly tired of hearing about this trip..and I really dont wanna think about that place..LMFAO!!! heheheh

2005-11-03T00:24:00.000-08:00

Back from our trip...but wish I wasn't!

HEDDO!!!

Hey guys, well here I am..again! Just wanted to give ya a brief summary of our trip and show ya some pics...It was a blast I tell ya!!!

This was our first stop. Toronto, Ontario a racetrack called "Woodbine Racetrack". Thoroughbred and standard both run here, but as you can see I only posted a pic of Thoroughbreds. The last pic of it is my baby :) I love that pic! Woodbine also has slot machines...Toronto was pretty nice..I love infield! We stayed here for most of the day..and then night too...got a free buffet meal outta this place :D $40 per person..and 3 of us?? wahoooo, wasn't worth $40 a person, but it was good and free..so I'LL TAKE IT!!!

Here are a few pics of Niagara Falls. This was the second major stop..We were on the Canadian side here...several people told us that side is better, including Maim, gawd I love this place. I'm so going back again...soon! We didn't do anything special here, this view was enough..I recorded video of this..gawd it came out awesome!

Our next stop was New York..same day as Niagara Falls, we just went to the hotel and swam...that was fun too! On Saturday, we went to Monticello Raceway, in Monticello, NY..another racetrack....it sucked..old and very disappointing! They too have slot machines, no tables...that night, off to New York City! This was pretty cool..although we didn't spend a whole lot of time here, we did some cool stuff. BUT..since this is acting weird...I'm gonna have to show ya pics of that later...The trip was awesome!

Anyhoo...grrr for the pic things not working now!! I will update the rest soon...byeeeeeeee

2005-10-22T09:42:00.000-07:00

Blah!!!

HEDDO!!!

My update:

I DON'T WANNA GO TO WORK!!!

The end!

2005-10-14T01:05:00.000-07:00

Messing around...with paint.

HEDDO!!!

Hey just wanted to show you guys something cool..but first..have to tell you the story behind it. At the track, there is a horsemen named Brad Kramer..he just recently got his 5000th win..yeah 5000 wins..holy moly. Anyway, I guess it's a big thing. Well a guy we work with kinda (Bill) , wants to do this big ceremony thingy, and someone suggested a bobblehead. Well, last year...I was bored, and Donna (not Debbie) brought some Christmas stuff to paint...so I'd have something to do. Anyway, Bill asked me if I would be interested in painting it. Okay, we took a San Francisco giant guy..or who used to be from SF and used his model. The driver, Brad Kramer, his driving color are green and white...

Before

After

As you can tell I painted him, took out the bat, added the whip in place...since he is a horse race driver and not a baseball player...on HIS right side of his head..i got some plaster..so it'd match the other side...That was actually genius lol..anyway..here is my bobblehead...lol

2005-10-12T19:32:00.000-07:00

Updating...finally!

HEDDO!!!

Hey guys...here I am updating before most of yas...lol A lot has been going on here in Michigan. First off, as ya know Odie has left me :( It was a fun time...She left on a Friday, I ended up going back to that hellhole I call work, the following Wednesday. Yes, I actually did quit, but I was talked into going back, kinda got a deal outta it, if I want. Anyway, moving on...So far work has been okay, not nearly as bad as it was before I left..Then again, I do everything..and it's done the right way.. lol seriously though, I work 6 days a week, and a double on Sunday now...plus nights, but the LIVE meet of racing is coming to an end on Saturday, the 15th..WAHOOOOOOO...no more printing all those books. Okay, moving on...

R.I.P

1986-2005

We got rid of Blue Crap...We know a guy who buys crappy cars or whatever for the metal. Well, we sold her for a whopping $30. Yep 30...sure we coulda donated her..or maybe even sold her for parts..but all she does is sits there. We just wanted to get her outta the parking lot before people starting complaining. So shes gone..Mali will miss her Sisser..

A trip...

Mike, Denny (an older friend of ours), and I are going on a trip. I would of course love to go home..however, I will in the springtime before LIVE racing starts again...anyway, October 27th, we are going to Toronto, Canada..to a race track called, "Woodbine Racetrack"...Thoroughbred in the daytime, harness at night. Plus, it's also a casino....the next day...I think on our way to Niagra Falls...yay!!...Next New York City for I think 2 days...then do whatever...on our way home, we'll go to Cleveland, OH..Three tracks will be included in the trip..Woodbine Racetrack, Monticello Raceway, and Northfield Park. Anyway, we are going to drive Mali...we'll get 2 nights free of hotels...which is coool :) The best part is I get outta working, Breeder's Cup day :X...It'll be fun..and I'll take a lot of pics. Right now, Mike and I both just need to get away from Hazel Park..even if it is just for a few days.

Alright, well here is a semi quick update...I'll fill in more later...uhh if there is anything else to fill in...Love yas..byeeeeeeeeee

2005-10-09T10:03:00.000-07:00

2005-09-24T01:28:00.000-07:00

Odie was here & now she's gone... HOW RUDE!!Notice she has swung the club..and the ball is still there? lmao..she noticed first!

HEDDO!!!

Welp now I don't have anything to do a countdown on anymore..well nothing exciting.."yet" hahahhehe. As you all know..or ya should know..Odie came to Michigan on Monday, 9/19 and stayed til 9/23. I know she had a good time...I had a blast wis my sisser...Mike too!

We took a lot of pictures...for my bday..Mike got me a nifty lil gift...a digi/camcorder/mp3 player thingy. LOVE IT! Well Odie already has a digi camera...so of course ya know we were some picture takin' foos...huh Sisser. lol funny thing...Odie would take pics...and knowing she was gonna put em on my puter anyway..I didn't take the same pic. We took pics of everything..and everywhere we went. lol mostly of a karaoke bar or work..but it was a lot of fun.

Monday when she got here..we went to Coney Island (a lil diner place) and got something to eat...had to go to work..and just hung out that night...Well Tuesday was our bday...yay! lol It was a lot of fun...Went golfing...LMAOOOOOOOOOO ..she did pretty good...however, she did crash into my cart..and dangit I think I deleted that pic by accident..I was laughin so hard! Love you Sisser! After golf..we went to BD's Mongolian...num num ...but we were so full...and miserable! That night we had to work the live racing...Odie bet some races...and even won some money..not with too much help from Mike and this guy Bill...lol she did better by picking names! That night we went to a place called "Rosie O' Gradys"..i think that's what its called...karaoke bar. It was fun..I got drunk...enough about that..SHUDDUP guys! And of course..once again...a camera not only in my face..but while I had to pee too! how rude!!! Moving on----Wednesday, we all went to "Frankenmouth"...and a friend of ours came too...it's a lil town a lot of people tell us about...went to a place called, "the bavarian inn"..food was okay...nothing too much to go into details about..then we went to "Bronner's"...its a Christmas store...like the largest Christmas store in the country..i think. It was pretty awesome..but after a while..it gets kinda boring...good stuff in there though..not quite the kinda place ya could stay in for a long time..unless you're looking for christmas stuff...ok..i loved it..it was cool! Anyway..after that we went to "Sports Creek Harness Raceway"...Mike announced a race there...we bet some..lost the rest..LMAO..After we got home...went to Super K and bought a boardgame..."pyramid" .moving on...Thursday...we took Odie to "Loui's"...num num Pizza! After work that night..we went back to Rosie's...Odie um was drunk this time lmao..she did that crossing her fingers over the other...to show that her eyes are crossing..which means..Yep she's drunk!

Anyway...today or yesterday now..she left me...and I bawled! I felt bad...she fell asleep in the car...of course I was crying then..but was okay..good thing im all stuffed up..she didnt even know i was crying yet...anyway..I shoulda parked at the airport..but noooooo my selfish ass had to just drop her off and go on my merry way...HA merry HA..I bawled my butt all the way home...I shoulda just stayed and suffered with her. Next time we are waiting til the last minute to take you to the airport Sisser! That was pure torture! Again, thank goodness I was stuffed up and coughing and stuff...that was my excuse for the most part while i was at work..then people had to go and ask..."your sis get off ok"...wahhhhhhhh wahhhhh...yep like a lil baby i was!

We had some fun..I left a lot of parts out..but to put it all in a short version..

1. We had a blast
2. We both got drunk
3. Got my haircut..(short..forgot that part)
4. Stuffed our faces full
5. Realized how much Mike sucks at games
Odie: If you and her (points to me and Mike)..got married...I (points to herself) would be?
Mike: married
Odie: "no" repeats herself
Mike: mistress?
what a geek..i got your mistress right here baby!!
(next)
Odie: a bug that Sance hates, rubs his wings (or legs or whatever it is) together and makes a noise?
Mike: (thinking) OH! a bat!
Odie: No!..a black INSECT...that....(cuts her off)
Mike: oh an owl
GRRRRRRRRR!! i love you baby! (Sisser loves this pic)

Okay...It's getting late..ya have the most part of the trip..i'm sure Odie will fill you in too...

Odie...anytime ya wanna come back..you know you are more than welcome to sleep on my couch...lol and Odie...Thanks for finally being "you" again..I love you Sisser!

2005-09-23T03:42:00.000-07:00

2005-09-18T09:34:00.000-07:00

Haven't been sleeping very well...I must be stressed...or

I 'CITED!!!

HEDDO!!!

Welp here it is Sunday..wahooo!!! First off, this is my first Sunday off in like forever...I usually work doubles, here it is like 9:30 am and I'm at home, whodathunkit? hmmm (so what if I'm daytime jobless piggy) Secondly, TOMORROW TOMORROW Odie will be here TOMORROW, it's only a day awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy (wolf howl) I know I know..so what if I changed it a lil bit...my sissers comin to see me my sissers coming to see me. I'm walking around humming that like Rosie O. was humming "I saw your penis, I, I saw your penis" to Harvey K.

Last few days I have not been able to sleep...well I sleep fine WHEN I fall asleep..I don't know whats going on with me. At work, I'm tired...I wake up around 9 go to sleep about 2 or 2:30..but I lay there or toss and turn. So I'll get up and shower or get online..watch TV and I start falling asleep doing that, well not in the shower, so I go back to bed...and NOTHING, toss and turn, toss and turn..I guess Mike will have to put me nigh nigh all the time now *wink* LMAO I'm funny AHAHAHAEHHEEHEHEHEHEH, sawdy had to say it! I think I'm stressed, I don't know though..I can't tell I've been like this for like a week and a half, probably a mixture of stress of work, couturning30gh, and excitement. I won't fall asleep til like 5 am, but here I am up like I have to go to work or sumpin' sheesh!

Ok, well that's about it..for now :D Treeeeeeeeeee, I did the countdown lmaooooo

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-09-16T11:19:00.000-07:00

Today is the 16th, Odie gets here the 19th...You do the math...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

HEDDO! I 'CITED!!!

Yep it's finally here, good grief, it took forever for this weekend to come...although I know the time she's here will go like that *snap* ...but hey I'll take it! There are a couple of food places we'd like to take her..of course "bd's Mongolian barbecue", Loui's (GREAT pizza or spaghetti), maybe this lil hole in the wall called "The Bread Basket" but dunno. Everytime Mike and I discuss what we wanna do while she's here..it always goes back to food. lmao...yep we're fat! hehehhe...anyway...I 'cited guys!!!

Let's go to a not so exciting subject work. Well what used to be work to me..hehe. Remember how I told you guys I put my notice in? Well my last day was supposed to be the 17th..I gave a 2 week and 1 day notice...he even asked me so you are gonna work til the 17th? I said yes, he said, "cool"...meaning..oh good I won't have to work the busiest day kinda thing. Well that lil bastid thinks hes cute..because he made my last day..the 14th..which ok thats fine. However, he scheduled me for my double sunday, monday, off tues. and work wednesday. Um...I never work Wednesday..i worked 1 wednesday this year only because I volunteered for it. So by giving me tues off and working me wed...he thinks hes funny. But ohhhhhhh..Sancine is even funnier :D! When we work in the printshop..theres a weeks worth of paper stapled together. whenever a track comes in..we are supposed to make it, download, book format it, scan it, annotate..all that crap and then send em to the printers (if they work) There is a billboard sign thingy in there where him and Liz decide to write all these rules. One of the rules, "you must make and print every track that comes in" Fine! I'm a rule follower usually right, well dangit, I'm the only one..if I weren't I wouldnt have quit lol. Anyway..I did all my work I usually do on Sunday. Did all my work for mon & wed. I did all the work for um Thursday. Well since wed was my last day..I made the Hazel Park books for Friday,but thats it! AHAHAHAHAHAHHEHEHEHE ok, well it's funny to me..which means..George had to make over 30 tracks. AHAHAAHEHEHE! ahem - I dont mean just 30..I mean 30 different ones. then print 30 here, 60 there, 120 of these wait - AHHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHEHEHEHHEHEHEEH. I was starting to tell different people certain things to see which got back at him..cause i know ya cant trust anyone there..so I told one girl..Im deleting my calendar..let him figure it out himself..so the next day i notice..he did all the work off the calendar. Then I told someone else, Im gonna screw him and not do any work..but then later on told her..no I would cause i would feel guilty..well just the one girl i told I wasnt gonna do any work..is probably the only one i could trust..cause he thought i was doin everything like usual...ok..guess ya had to be there...i'm so proud of myself..I almost did all the work..but was getting more mad everytime I thought about my schedule. NEXT!

Even though I still work the LIVE racing...I still need to get another job. On tuesday, I went and put applications in at grocery stores, clothing stores, food places-ick...I've even applied online..then this guy we work with told me his roommate works at blue cross blue shield...he told me to go to the website...go to employment..and see what I can do...well um I don't have any kind of degree--because yeah I suck! But he told me to email my resume to her and she'll send it to HR with a good word...um okay, I don't even know her lol. I would love to work at Meijer...I tried to put one in at Sears Essentials..not hiring..neither is Wally Mart..but geez..maybe if I was rude, didnt shower and just had a plain bad attitude..then I can get a job at Wal Mart..cause Damn! I'll get a job somewhere...I'll even go back to Boston Market if I *sigh* have to. A girl I know at work..Donna not Debbie :) says she can get me a job..I'd have to go over to her sister n laws place or wherever it is...for like a month..or 5 days outta the week..for a month...just to get familiarized with the program I guess..and this and that..then I can work from home...NOW..I ask you..why isn't Donna not Debbie doing it? Hmmmmmm...supposedly pays 10-12 hr...so I ask you again..Mrs. Donna "home depot" lover...wanna redo everything in my house myself..why isn't she doin it? Good question don't ya think? lol...CONTINUE!!

Welp, Odie is coming..we will be 30 on Tuesday...We passed Hallmark yesterday, they had a help wanted sign...so anyway, we went in there and I told Mike while I was filling out an app..to go find Odie a card.....like my brother in law, he's crackin up at the stupidest thing. Ya know Hallmark is a quiet store. While I'm looking around in there, I hear pssst Sance..come here..psst Sance...*giggle giggle* The card wasn't even funny..but he's like..I'm getting her this one!!! He was at work telling people about the bday card he got Odie..crackin up about it...of course I'm crackin up..because here I am thinking these people are probably thinking...ha ha ha.. very funny m effer...but no...they are crackin up too..."thats a good one"...the midwest I tell ya..and the "pop"....last time Mike's dad was here..he goes...Sance do ya want a soda?...Then he like double takes..and goes..see what you got me saying!!! lmaoooooo told ya it was soda..and not POP! Man, my fingers are getting a good workout with this update and I havent said anything interesting yet..well cept that Sisser is comin to see me...Sisser is comin to seeee meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH I 'CITED!!!

Okay, I gotta go dust..lol clean house but dusty :) lys, mushie and byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

HEDDO!!!

I know I know..finally I updated..sheesh! Lately, I have had a whole lot on my mind..nothing too bad or anything..just stuff. For starters...I am sooooooo excited about my Sisser coming to see me for our birthday..UGH 30 friggin years old...ya know I thought that was all acting and stuff about people turning 30, but even though ya can't see too many wrinkles or grey hairs..I do have em :( I think I'll do something different, maybe colorwise with my hair :) that'll hide em for now..for whats left of my hair I should say..Ugh I think I'm going bald! I blame it on "Aquanet" all that time I sprayed and ratted...sprayed and ratted...my poor hair! Now it's lonely and just sits in a headband...lol anything to keep it outta my face! So yeah I'm excited about Odie coming here...woooohoooo.

Last Friday, I put my 2 weeks notice in...well 2 weeks and 1 day notice in..lol I thought I could handle working with that lazy ass, but I just can't take it anymore, and I will not be treated that way. Probably woulda been a better move if I had another job lined up..AHAHHAHEHEHHEHE ahem..For what I get paid, I can work anywhere...for those of you who know me...knows I hated Boston Market towards the end..but at this point, I'd go back in a second..or I'd rather scrub floors than work for GEORGE!!! ICK! I like working at the track, but I will NOT work for that ass any longer..he's lucky I even gave him a notice...lmao...actually he's lucky my sisser is coming to see me, he might have not even gotten that! I will still work the LIVE racing til mid October though. Enough about work...

This whole hurricane Katrina thing depresses me...I think about it constantly..and now that they are finding bodies or whatever...just makes me think of how lucky we really are. Here I am bitchin' about work, or this or that...but at least I have a home..a family I know that are doing well and alive...ya know stuff we take for granted. Although I am worried about my brothers dad and his family...I hope you guys hear from them soon! For those of ya that don't know..my brother in laws dad lives right there in New Orleans... and not a word from them..grrrrrrrrr

Hey did I mention that Odie is coming here to MICHIGAN!!!!! wahoooooo...happy birsday to me!!

Mali is running good...I so love that car..she needs a bath though, lmao I'm scared to give her one! I'll wash her before Odie comes at least lol. Mike and I are doing pretty good...but he is driving me bonkers...if it's not golf, or horse racing hes talking about...its fantasy football now...IM GONNA SMACK HIM!! ahhhhhhhhhh..I so love that guy :p

Anyhoo, I shall return soon..but before I go...my sissers coming to see me...my sissers coming to see me..wahooooooooooo!!!

2005-08-23T09:19:00.000-07:00

HEDDO!!!

Okay, quick update...Car is running great!..work sucks still, and MY SISSERS COMIN' TO SEE ME...MY SISSERS COMIN' TO SEE ME! ::hums::

I'll update more later...::whistling::

2005-08-17T13:47:00.000-07:00

Finally updating....ya happy now?!?!?

HEDDO!!!

Ok, yes Mali is back...she missed me so much I tell ya! It's good to have her back..the loaner car was decent..but she wasn't ours. Mali was gone a lil over 3 weeks. But like we said before..rather have her fixed right for a lil longer than expected than to have to take her to be fixed again. There is a list of all the stuff she had fixed and replaced..poor Mali..a good thing though, the mechanic guy said she's actually newer now than before she went um "swimmin'" lol And the mechanic also gave us $50 off our deductible because he kept her so long..wahoooooooooo!!! AVON money!! ahahhehehhe Mike was probably thinking WAHOOO golf money!!

Work! Work is going okay now..I know I told you all about "Liz" the girl who had that gastric bypass or whatever the darn thing is called. The surgery where you are only allowed to eat like 2 ounces of food. Liz is doin okay I guess..but won't be back to work for a while..meanwhile..I am taking advantage of her hours..wahooo! After the live meet is over, I think it'll be time to look for another job though...That place puts me in a bad mood..I've never seen where people can get paid to do absolutely nothing but make bets on horses and play on yahoo games all day. Yes, I am speaking of my boss...he just plain sucks..and he's very lazy. And I know work isn't supposed to be all fun and games..but this place is just ridiculous. I would rather be working at Boston Market again..and most of you know how much I hated that place towards the end. Anyway, enough about that....

Odie is coming here to see me for our birthday next month...double wahoooo!!! She's gonna stay Sept. 19th - 23rd..yay! How exciting!! Okay, I need to stop..this is way too much for me to handle...first Mali is back..then Odie is coming here...oh my zawd!

Welp 3/4 of my kiddies are in school now. Joe is in High School..Christy girl in Middle School..and Nikki in Kindergarten.......oh what an age! Kindergarten was my favorite to sub for! Pretty soon my other niece Natalie will be there...::faints:: Dang I am getting old! btw, don't know if I told you all, but my back is normal now..has been for a few weeks now! Ok I'm outta here.byeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-08-04T00:23:00.000-07:00

Still don't have Mali.... :(

HEDDO!!!

Well an update on Mali..She's still not home wis' her mom!!! GRRRR!!! At first when we took her to get fixed..the mechanic said it was kinda common for cars to stall out in puddles. "MOST" of them just needed to be dried out, change a few things..and then the battery charged. Well not our car, she had to get a new motor..some fuel thing..another thing...and now the guy wants to put a few miles on her just to get a good test drive out of her. At this point, I do want my car back; however, I want her fixed right, so he can take as long as he "needs" to. We did get a loaner...a red 2004 Chevy Cavalier. It's okay, 2 doors..but the doors are so long, everytime I get in the car and shut the door, I do it twice cause it doesn't feel like I closed the door shut all the way. Anyway, so no Mali..but soon. As far as "Blue Crap"...she doesn't run exactly great..but she did "limp" it to work when we needed her. lmao

Work...Next week I will be working a lot more hours than normal. Now I work usually, Sun 9:30-10:30 (all day) Mon, Tues, Wed off..then I work Thurs, Fri, and Sat. I usually get around 35-38 hours. Then at night I work most nights...all but Wed. Well one of the managers I work with is going in for that "bariatric" or whatever surgery, on Monday. Well the days I have off..she works. So I will be picking up MOST of her hours. That's fine because I don't like the girl anyway..so taking her hours and being at work won't suck too much. Not sure what day I will have off...but i just think of all the overtime :D

Ok, well here is my update...see ya byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-07-21T00:45:00.000-07:00

Why me hmm?...Things will get better...eventually!

Heddo!!!

Ok, where do I start? Mike's bday was Saturday, July 16th. For Mike's 30th bday, I bought him a "used" driver for golf. "PING" if you will. It's a club, one of our judges was selling it for $100 and that's what he wanted, anyway, so that's what he got with a couple of lil things. After work that night, we went out, had a few drinks and left the place. Well it's pouring rain, normally we go down Dequindre Road, but they had like 5 or 6 police cars out down there, so to avoid all that, we took the service road next to the highway. We start driving normally and then all of a sudden we hit a huggggggggge puddle, not knowing it was there til we were in it. Friggin' Mali stalled out!!! So here it is 2:30 am and we are pushing Mali out of the puddle. Meanwhile other cars are passing us up, some just drive fast through the puddle seeing our hazard lights are on even. Mali wouldn't start, so we figure we'll push her back into a parking lot lol if we can find one so we push push push she still won't start. We were basically tryin to see if she dried up a bit would she start? NO :( Poor Mali! So we walk home which isn't even a mile. We got to the track parking lot and security gave us a ride home thank goodness we knew him. Okay, now its around 4:40am..we take Blue Crap back to Mali to see if maybe she just needs to be jumped...no! So we go home to try and get some sleep. I had to be at work around 9:30..and Mike around 10:30 to do the show. Well forget work..I want my car...we drive over there in the morning...still nothing....so we call for a tow truck..cause I'm not leaving Mali way over there to be played with! Take her home, then the next day have her towed to a repair shop...okay..the guy calls me and tells me all this stuff wrong with her...I said, how much is all this gonna cost...$3500-$4000..::faints:: I call Mike to tell him to call the guy. Anyway, so we call the guy we buy Mali off of...and our insurance guy and he tells us we need to take it to a chevy dealer place. SO we do..anyway, the first mechanic wasnt too happy of course...but later on calls us and tells us..we owe him $35 for the fee of him even lookin at the car...that he'd taken it apart or whatever...so Mike takes Blue Crap over and pays....on his way home...guess what? Yep ya guessed it..BLUE CRAP broke down on Mike..poor guy! Blue Crap did start up again about 10 minutes later..but Mike said she was limpin home lol So in two days we go from..2 cars to footin it to work! First the people from insurance told us that we could have Mali back 1 to 2 days..but lmao this is a common problem..there are like 5 other cars ahead of us...so Friday probably. So today is Wednesday..my day off..mikes night off..and what'd we do??? Went to the track and bet some races!! Gotta look on the bright side though...we have air conditioning at home WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Now I really don't care for cell phones...but I really do think we'll look into it! So if it's raining out...watch them puddles..............I know Mali just wanted to go swimmin' like her mommy!!!

2005-07-10T04:33:00.000-07:00

Heddo!!!

Ok, well here are some of those pics I was telling you about, not sure why they wouldn't show up last time...anyhoo...pretty cool huh :)

Not too much to update about...Mike is going to pick up his dad tomorrow...errr today now..about a 4 hr drive..I have to work...I rather work than lose 13 hours...so that'll give us something to look forward to..he can only stay til Wednesday and he'll probably take either Greyhound or Amtrak home... but at least we'll see him.. haven't seen him since like a week before Christmas!

The other picture is of a "Budweiser Clydesdale"...at first I was like oh big deal..big horses...they are HUGGGGGGGGGE!!! Their average height is 18 hands or 6 ft. shoulder height. Average weight is 2000 lbs. Also..they can eat like 20-25 lbs of feed, 20 lbs of hay, and drink like 30 gallons of water EACH A DAY!!

Anyway...those are some big horsies................I gotta get to bed..I have to work in the AM..and oh good grief here I am up watching reruns of AMC on the Soap channel....LYS MUSHIE and byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Happy Belated 4th of July....FIREWORKS!!!

HEDDO!!!

I so love 4th of July! I'm not really into doing the fireworks myself...lmao let's not get carried away...but I love to see them..just like Christmas lights. I can literally look at them for hours.....ooooooooooh...aaaaaaaaaaaaaah...ohhhhh! Last year of was cool...the track does a pretty good show. We were outside last year..but since they are closer up..a lil bit too loud..plus all the buggies are out and about....this year we stayed in. Still close..but we closed our room door..turned off all the lights and made it pitch dark (okay not so pitch)..with a perfect seat to see the show!!! BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL! The sucky part now is..I have this lil mini digi cam..not knowing it had such a delay to it...I caught most of the pics of the fireworks when they were pretty much cleared outta the air...most..but I did get a lot of nice ones. I'd like to show ya..but for some reason that pic thing isn't working...Oh my zawd..I broke it!! I knew I shouldn't have put up those big fishy lips of mine!!! Happy belated 4th!

Mike's 30th birthday will be on July 16th!!! EEEEEEEEK!!! He's older than me..neener neener neener...but no worries my time will come. Not sure what I'm gonna get him..but it has to be good...30 years old for crying out loud. He has a guitar..which I think he'll be going to get soon...that's in Indiana...but I know he wants another one. The other one he wants ya can plug into an amp..so that's good since we live in apts.

UGHHHHHHHH..speaking of our apts...they suck...I sooooo wanna move..like now! lmao..I mean from these apts. not to Cali...that's obvious!!! first no air right? Then..remember I told ya about our cable..that was fine..someone disconnected it..cable guy said someone probably tryin to steal it! HoW RUDE!!! Then hellllllllo no hot water??????? I was fine with taking a shower...lol I didn't even know I didn't have any hot water...but Mike was shivering...but stayed in long enough to shower and stuff. Guess he won't be complaining on how hot he is tomorrow when he has to jump in the shower before work! lmao...our manager is supposed to call at like 8am ..so maybe I'll have hot water before I have to go to work..either way..I have to shower..I can't do it..I have to shower in the am if I have to go to work..or are going somewhere..otherwise I don't mind just lounging around! Anyway..so now I really wanna move..we've been in these apts...for almost a year and 3 months. No pool..no balcony..or patio or whatever..cool thing though is I have an intercom...LOL!!! Ok i am wayyy to giddy!

Well I guess that's about it...I miss you guys..all of yous..but especially my 4 kiddies! I'll talk to ya guys later byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welp here I am...updating, not too much to update about. My back seems to be getting better. It's only sore in the morning..but once I get outta the shower and move around..it's fine. More stiff than sore...so if I walk like my neck is to the side that means I'm babying it lol. No but seriously it's getting better!

Well I told you all it has been pretty warm out here. At work, in the print shop..it stays semi cool...but not nearly as cool as I would like it. Since I'm in the admin. building you think I would get admin. AC right? Nope...I get partial if I leave my door open...and of course we have the good ol' window unit...feels good if you stand RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT!!!! Two big printers just don't help.

It's bad enough I can't watch my 2 episodes of 30 minute meals with Rachael Ray..when I have my break between 5:30 and 7..... .but what about when I come home from LIVE RACING??? I can't watch my 2 episodes of Three's Company reruns!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHY ME??????? ok I'm over it..kinda!

Makes me miss home even more...lmao even though never went to the lake. I do miss home...I miss you all.....especially my kiddies. This pic here was for Christy girl and Nikki...I'm sure they won't if I shared with you all... :)

Anyway, today I am off...no air, no cable..but wooohooo I have the computer right..or I can play video games..but watch...i know I'm gonna get talked into going golfing...oh geez!!! I should go wash the cars....Ohhhh..I can show ya that pic next! Blue Crap and Mali :) Okay Blue Crap is our old car...still runs decent...Mali is the newer one.

Okay, here I am...in pain

HEDDO!!!

Not too much going on with me...About a week ago or so, I was at work and I had to get paper..Mind you I work in the print shop at the racetrack in the daytime. Anyway, I had to get a lot of paper, normally some guys get it, but I had to get it right then, cause I was out. I got the paper..like 15 boxes. Well later that night, I had like a pain in my lower left side in my back. It was more of an irritating feeling. Thought nothing of it..then it started to just hurt a lil...well NOW...either I'm sitting with a heating pad..or I'm rubbed down with "bengay"...not only is it in my lower back...its in my side..up to my spine. I get sharp pains going up...when I sit for a while or when I wake up. I'm okay if I get out of the shower and just get on with my day..but once I stop and sit...forget it...gimme the heating pad or rub me down. I get so stiff...that if I have to sit to pee...I gotta hold my breath so I can sit or get up without the pain. Right now I'm just trying to see how bad it gets...it does feel like when I had a bad cough and had to go to the docs and he gave me muscle relaxers....so if I feel anything in my chest or down my legs..I will go. Sometimes I take tylenol 500 mg...2 or 3 of those...is that a lot? Box says no more than 8 in a 24 hr. period...so I'm guessing I'm okay...but with the bengay, haven't taken any...but the smell...ugh!!! Mike is so good to me though...he massages it in...NOTE TO SELF...don't put bengay on right out of the shower....BURNS!!!!!!!

Hmm, what else? Well work still sucks...ok enough of that!

I don't know about there in Cali, but here Kmart and Sears I guess are combining or whatever...anyway...Kmart wont have Martha Stewart or Joe Boxer anymore....so our Kmart is having a bunch of stuff on clearance. The jewelry is like 80% off....a lot of pens and stuff 60% off...games even...furniture...kitchen stuff.........i got a 12 piece set of silverware (no handles) for almost $6.00. Batteries and film like 40% off...I don't know if those are good prices...but they do have a lot of stuff...thinking about going to get some film...and maybe batteries for my camera. lol

Ok, there's my update...I'll keep ya posted about my back...byeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-06-06T08:29:00.000-07:00

Surviving the heat...Barely!

HEDDO!!!

Ok, I know I know...'bout time I updated..however..I've noticed I'm NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! SO :P Anyway...this state sucks! It's bad enough I'm fat..but ya know when you get hot it's irritating? Well here in Michigan it got to about say 85 or something like that...do you think it would feel like 85? Nooooooo...it felt like it was 85 plus..felt like when ya first get in your car and it's friggin hot in there...that's how I felt most of yesterday afternoon when I went outside or in the clubhouse lobby! NO AIR in that hellhole..well not in the part we have to be in...Thank goodness I'm the printer and not the seller! Okay, so the heat was bad enough..but very cloudy out..slight wind then..next thing I hear..Tornado warning!!! WHAT?!??! So around 8:15pm I go and give Bob who was the seller yesterday his break...and from his area ya can see straight out the glass doors...it went from nice and bright...to medium..to DARK! and windy and raining...I MEAN POURING RAIN!!! In seconds I tell ya!!! Mike and I had already discussed where we would go if a tornado would happen..thank goodness we didn't get any touchdowns where we were..but I heard there were a few around the cities of Hazel Park. We got home and the phone was ringing off the hook...Mikes dad was all worried cause he saw a story on the news about how in Sterling Heights or wherever..they had a touchdown and there was so much debris and a few bodies :( Today it's gonna get to about the same temp.. right now it's 74...tomorrow will be in the 90's..I'm so glad I'm off daytime tomorrow......but they better have that AC on when I have to go to work at night!!!

Let's move on...ohhhhhhhhh how about work??? Work still sucks..NEXT!!!

Dieting still...I think Mike said he lost 16 pounds so far..in I think ..heck I don't know how long we've been on it...I wanna say like a month and a half? Dunno..I know it hasn't been two months though lol. Anyway..so I don't know how much I have lost..I know I've lost some..but I can't really see it...Mike says he can and others can..but not me...but I can tell after I dry my clothes..they aren't as tight as before...so yay! We still eat late though..like after 11pm sometimes...I don't know about you guys..but if I eat breakfast...I'm starving around 2 or 3....so I rather just wait til I get off from work to have lunch or whatever...which is around or a lil after 5. But then later I'm hungry again!!! I know I know...I should bring fruit or something to hold me over...instead of eating so late..but dangit I don't wanna! MMMMMMMMMMM...pomegranites..Donna not Debbie has never heard of em...I'm like what?!?!?!??! I was telling her ya gotta eat em like corn on the cob is the best way...pick each lil kernel off separately and squeeze em in your mouth! NUM NUM NUM NUM NUM!!!

Still reading...My latest was by "Jodi Picoult" I think that's how ya spell it...was called, "The Pact" ...was actually a lifetime movie I guess..so you know I loved it right! LOVED IT!! Now I'm reading...Perfect Match...or Picture Perfect...it's one of em...next will be the other title after that anyway :) So far with this one...it's made me cry a few times...so ya know what that means..LOVE IT!!! I like this lady..not too many details where it makes me wanna skip that long paragraph and not too many characters to where I gotta go back to the beginning to see who who is...who who or who whom? I pick #2! Kinda like on Grease 2 huh lol :) Hi Sisser! To who to whom...to you that's whom? Something like that..WHATEVER! Anyway..so yeah...reading those books...I only try and read em at night at work between races..but gawd I hate when a race is getting ready to go off and the book is getting good....for instance...last book.....they were in court...and asking the jury if they had a verdict..."Yes"....--as Mike is saying "and the gate is rolling...."...I'm trying to read the verdict!!! Blah! anyhoo...

I guess I should get ready for work...let me just tell you how I feel about that! BLAH!!!

LYS..byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee MUSHIE!

Golfing, a picnic, and a swim...

HEDDO!!!

Today is the last day of my 3 days off. I know I complain about work ...out of 7 days usually I only work 4/7 for my daytime job. Anyway, I guess things will be changing there or whatever..but no worries, I'll let you all know :D

Mike and I wanted to have a picnic..but since we don't know the parks around here...instead of bbq'ing we went and got a big ice chest, some sandwich stuff, sun chips, some fruit and decided to have it on Wednesday, yesterday...Mike had to work in the morning a few hours, afterwards we went to "Ironwood Golf Course" with a friend of his. THEY golfed 18 holes..I drove the carts and looked for golf balls..I found 5 yay!!! I stopped looking near the lil ponds cause there were big froggies chasing me!!! Okay, well they weren't that big....oh alright they weren't chasing me, but dangit..they scared me! Anyhoo, after golfing Mike and I drove to Kensington Park ...we had our bagel sandwiches and stuff..and noticed there was a family of geese..TUTE!!! I don't know which one was the momma or the daddy..but one of em likes bagels and tomatoes lol along with the blue jay or whatever the scraggily lil blue bird was. We fed those guys with the tids..and one mallard ducky. Just one! Okay so we packed up and just drove through the park...nearly 7:30..we get on our way home..Mike was tired from being in the sun and had a headache...Of course I fall asleep in the car...we always talk about how we wanna check into a hotel room..just so we can go swimming. Well we did! lmao..i know it's a waste of money, kind of even silly..but we wanted to go swimming and our apts. don't have a pool. We went home to get swimming things..and since Mike had to be at work today, some clothes and stuff that way we could sleep half hour longer :) Got home..got stuff..and off to the hotel. Mike prefers Fairfield Inn..but this one was a Fairfield Inn Marriott that we went to first...well the pool was outside, besides...I don't mind the money part if we were more than 10 miles away from home...but..Marriott?? lol So probably a good thing it was an outside pool...anyway, down the street was The Best Western...so we stayed there. Only non smoking vacancy they had had two beds. They had a small indoor pool..uh heated even..but no jacuzzi thing..but tis okay..the pool was great since we were in there alone. We swam for about an hour ..ordered pizza (cheat day) watched tv and off to nigh nigh land we went. Now since there were two beds..that means they aren't huge, right? Do you think Mike would let me sleep in my own bed? Noooooooooooooooooooo..he wants us to nigh nigh together..and thats fine..but MIKE CANNOT sleep straight!!! First, tossed and turned..and tossed and turned..then finally I went nigh nigh. UGH, and then the phone rings with a wake up call at 6:30.....anyway, don't know why..but it was nice to be home. Lucky me..we got home, he had to go to work..I layed on the couch watching tv..then went nigh nigh in my nice big comfy bed!!! Life is good isn't it? :D

2005-05-24T14:56:00.000-07:00

Still on da diet...

HEDDO!!!

Well Mike and I are still on our diet...surprisingly! The main parts of our diet is NO SUGAR, LOW SODIUM, and no caffiene. The caffiene part is probably the hardest since the "pop" I have at work is diet..yet it's not caffiene free..and most places we eat don't have caffiene free diet. If I don't have caffiene..eventually I get a headache..or maybe that's just Jane...good excuse if you ask me! This last time we went grocery shopping...even though we got chips...we got..blue chips..made with organic blue corn. Very low sodium...Mike can't taste the difference..Um I can..we get Sun Chips once in a while. I also got some rice cakes..a lot of veggies, fruit, some sugar free nannies..wheat bread...and ohhhhh turkey burgers..Rachael Ray baby!!! Okay, saw her make turkey burgers a few times! Anyway, so we got a ton of food..just healthy stuff..and ya know what, I don't mind at all....A few people have told me I look like I'm losing weight...Mike too.......so SISSER? How bout it?

Mali and Blue Crap ...love em! As you have noticed I haven't updated in a while...sure been busy with work and all...but the time I do have..Mike and I are off driving somewhere...we never really know where we wanna go..we just wanna drive!..I'll tell ya more about a trip we wanna take..when we finally figure out where we really wanna go...

Anyway, here is my "short" update..thinking about going to get a hair cut..and a golf bag for my sweetie, before we gotta go to work....I miss you guys...LYS and mushie byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Last 3 Days Off...

HEDDO!!!

Hey guys...Here I am again ...Today is my last day of my 3 days off from my day time job. Wednesday I had the whole day off...Work hasn't been too bad..but I really needed these days off..I'm always tired..no days off and working doubles every day 'cept last Wednesday was kicking my butt! However, pay day was yesterday..and yep it paid off! :) Good news though..Mike noticed he got a raise $150 a week more..I dunno if that's a lot or not lol but add that up for the month..that's the car payment and insurance..so I guess it is good!!! So we went and cashed our checks yesterday...then to lunch at "MONGO'S" LOVE IT!!! A Mongolian Barbecue...NUM NUM NUM NUM NUM! Anyhoo, then we went to look for a laptop..lol don't ask...I guess he really wants it to make his life easier at work. We put away car payment, insurance, and bill money...then we went s'oppin 'n 'monin..and some more s'oppin! Of course we get stuff we would never regularly buy...but ah ha! we can go further places now..and DON'T know how..but we ended up at the mall ..lol twice! Got a big rug for the living room..kinda matches my furniture...some new plant pots..nice but non matching..i love it! A bathroom set..again lol. Everytime I see that the shower curtain is getting icky..toss it! This time I kept the rugs though lol..I like the blue! A new iron and ironing board, cause we don't have one. Some plant food...we also went to Wal-Mart :D I need to get some, "top soil" dunno whatever that is...but I need it I think to replant my plant cause they are getting huge like! Okay, bigger...anyway..we had a good day just doin' nothing after Mike got off of work.....

Mike will finally have a whole day off...and he needs it! He hasn't had one off since before the race meet started which was on April 4th..so yeah before that! Mind you he works in the morning...off about 2 or 3..then back about 6:30...he's a busy lil bee I tell ya.

Anyway, I want to start some kind of hobby..was thinkin of Scrapbooking..but I dont think I'm creative enough for that...was gonna try painting things I can buy like from Michaels...went to Michaels yesterday!! Loved it! Anyway, I get bored at night at work...I only have to work during the races and in between em..I can do whatever as long as I'm there back at the puter at 0 minutes to post...so now I've been reading...lol yes ME..the reader. I just finished a book called...Close to you..I think by Mary Jane Clark..or Mary Jane somebody...wasn't too bad..then I borrowed a book from Donna (not Debbie)..."The Killing Club"...yep the book from One Live To Live!...Read that quick...the killer was too obvious. Was a little disappointed in that one :( But maybe I'll go get a book before i go to work tonight...any suggestions? Okay..and none of that romance crud...and nothing to where I'll have to have Mike go to the bathroom with me in the middle of the night either ok...lol Plus..any suggestions on hobbies? Okay..I gotta get going...gonna go to lunch wis' my sweetie pie! byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

2005-05-05T08:33:00.000-07:00

Not looking forward to this weekend......at all..but I am looking forward to next pay day!!! AAAHAHAHEHEHHEHE!!!

HEDDO!!!

Hey guys..here I am...cracked nose and all. I'm sick!!! Not sick sick, nose has been running for the last 3 days, yesterday I felt like chit man, however it didn't keep me home from work or after work :) only the right nostril is crackin'...and my right eye drips, but boogies barely come out of either nostril or eye ahahahehehe! Not sure what is going on with my eye, but I'm guessing most of my eye problem is allergies, but I dunno!

This weekend is the Kentucky Derby! UGH!!! Last year I didn't have to work it because I used to only work Sundays in programs...this year I'm a morning manager! I think I rather print the books than sell em...cause people are straight rude when it comes to money!!! So I'm glad about me at least printing them...I'm smart though, I print most of the books ahead instead of waiting for them to call me and then print em!

This week I work every single day and night except Wednesday.. I had wednesday night off! I was supposed to have Mon. and Tues. morning off but this girl Liz is "sick" so I worked her shifts...so woooohoooo hours and hours and hours!!! Which means overtime!!! Tis weird..haven't been in a bad mood at work...lol probably cause Liz hasn't been there...but she comes back Friday from her being sick...or uh whatever! :D

The car...the car..the car! I love the car..but ya know...I think Mike might love the car more than he loves me!! lmao..hes so funny! We drive around in it like it's a rental car. Poor "Blue Crap" probably feels left out...awwww! Everyone keeps asking what we are gonna do with her...we're keeping her..she still runs, and as far as I'm concerned..why not!?!? I've driven the new car a couple of times..but it scares me...every time I start it...I like REVVV big time lmao not realizing it at first....one of these days I'm gonna give myself whiplash...lmao! But yeah gonna keep her. Besides...she lets me sleep like another hour and 15 minutes that way Mike can drive one and I the other! Don't gotta take him to work. AND you know darn well..neither of us will walk the short distance lmaoooooo...too cold anyway! The car is a lil gas hoggie though..but she is sooo pretty!... I did say SHE...I originally said HE..but nooooo MALI is not a boy name.. I don't think so at least...Blue Crap and Mali.. This other girl I work with is getting a new car next week....she was thinkin of personalized license plates...I told her..yeah we should put on ours... "NOMOCRP" LMAO!!!!! AHAHAEEHEHHEHEH!!! byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Happy Cinco De Mayo

2005-04-30T01:04:00.000-07:00

Finally updating...Geez!!!

HEDDO!!!

Well not too much has been going on...before I get started, I'd just like to say Happy Birthday to two people who are very special to me...Grammy and Lawrence! Grammy is my momma :) she is now 62...Happy Birthday Gram!!! Lawrence is my brother-n-law married to my sisser Janice. They share the same birthday...cool huh!! Happy Birthday Lawrence!

Okay anyway...work is going okay...but this week coming up will be a lil hectic at the end because it is the Kentucky Derby on May 7th...blahhhh...lol last year it rained and we had the bbq and all this outdoorsy stuff goin on..but we had a bunch of tents up...it's just simulcasted anyway...so no biggie. Okay, enough of work..let's get to the good part...
A CAR!!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!! Thursday afternoon Mike and I drove about 1/2 hour away...lol that's far for "Blue Crap"...she doesn't like to go too too far from home..but there was a very good reason...Blue Crap is getting a little brother :D A 2004 Malibu Classic. It's like a gray-silver color 4 doors,automatic, power stuff inside, air conditioning and heater..the stereo is nothing to write home about..just I guess the "stock" one? But living 10 miles north of Detroit..that's just fine. We don't wanna bring any attention to it. I believe it has an alarm..lol I can't remember. Anyway, it's a cute car...it's not my Volvo but it will do :) Cool thing...we can move the front seats alllll the way back and sit in the back comfortably ...lol then again we both have short lil leggies so I guess that's no big deal heheeh. Anyway...I'll let ya know more about it when we get it on Monday...anyway...I'm tired..so I'm goin nigh nigh...byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-04-20T17:41:00.000-07:00

Today is my whole day off...Yipppppeeee!

HEDDO!!!

Today isn't so bad...although most of the day I will be spending it alone, Mike is at work...ugh..again! :( No worries though things will change soon, probably in May we will have the same WHOLE day off. He's been really busy with work..I told him..soon all this working will start showing up in his announcing...well the other night I think it did. Not that his announcing was bad or anything..but he was beat! Usually he sounds all upbeat and excited in his calls, but Monday night he couldn't wait for it to be over. LOL kinda how I feel every night. Usually, I'm like 4th race??? GEEEEZ...feels like I've been here forever! hehehe As for me and work...for some odd reason...I don't know if this is good or bad..but my hours were kinda cut. I work Sundays about 9:30am-10:30pm...mon. 9:30-5...tues, wed, thurs. OFF!!! fri and sat 9:30-5. Tues and Thurs night I have off during the day but have to work the races at night..so Wed. is my day off!....But my hours being cut is weird...I asked one of the girls.."I wonder why I have 3 days off the last 2 weeks"..she said..she thinks that my boss thinks I'm gonna quit...SURE!! the thought has crossed my mind..but uh..not yet..so actually I like it..work is going ok.

Question: When you think of a psychic...not psycho people..but think of a psychic how do you picture this person?

At Hazel Park on Fridays..for the show that goes throughout the track..they have a "psychic"...last week she got one winner out of 10. So what..she's not Sylvia Brown(e)...anyway...as for me...I would think of a lady with a scarf thingy on her head...and hangs down...a ton of makeup--blue eyeshadow..red lipstick....uh big hoop earrings...red long fingernails...tacky necklaces and bracelets and rings......more of a gypsy style like on tv........the girl we have at the track on fridays...leopard cowboy hat...and a kinda like cleavage showing shirt......her crystal ball was there..but she read straight off the paper! Okay, I know this is all in fun..but c'mon..dress it up to be fun, right? or am i wrong here???? So how do you picture a psychic?

Well if Mike gets off in time, we'll probably go out to dinner and maybe to a movie...he wants to see (KIDDIES DON'T CLICK IF IT'S GONNA SCARE YOU) "The Amityville Horror"..I dunno though.. I read it was true..then I heard it wasn't. But uhhhhh...we'll see! Anyway..here's my update..not much going on..so byeeeeeeeeeeee!

2005-04-15T01:13:00.000-07:00

Back to work...BLAH!!!

HEDDO!!!

Hey guys, well here I am...I've had the last few days off from my day part of work..so lately I've been in a great mood..kinda :) I had Tues and Thursday day time off but had to work at night..but Wednesday i had the whole day off..wooohooo!!! On my short time off, didn't do too much, but that's kinda how I like it. I'm lazy...sometimes I just want to sleep, but then I'm so used to getting up early that even on my days off I get up early, stay up for about two hours, but then I get bored so I get tired and crawl back in bad...ahhhh relaxing isn't it?

Wednesday Mike calls me from work saying he was almost done there and that he had a great idea...his idea was going to a Detroit Pistons game. One of the guys' he works with..his wifes work rents or whatever one of the sky boxes....so we went. Of course it was free for us..when we got there we entered the east entrance, but were supposed to go to the west...what a walk...i'll say our lungs got some fresh cool air..tell ya about that more in a bit...just drinks in there and some snacks..which was just fine..cause we wanted to go to dinner. The Pistons played Orlando Magic...Pistons 103 Magic 94? I think...we got there for the second half of the game, but pretty much the whole time ya knew the Pistons were gonna win. I wasn't really into the game..just pretty much looking from the view..the lil guys dressed up as animals and such. I turned to see on the big screen....Grant Hill.. ...so then I had to find where he was..finally I saw. Anyway, after we were leaving a few of the guys wanted to stop and have a drink but come to find out the bar was wayyyy on the other side..kinda where our car was parked...so we all decided just to meet back in town and stop for a bite to eat and some drinks..everyone goes to there car..and Mike and I go our way. All the cars were pretty much stuck cause everyone leaving the parking lot...Mind you Mike and I still had to go all the way to the East part of the parking lot. Here we are walking...la la la...lmao and Mike stops and was like Um Sance, this is where we were!!! LOL the building is round..so my dumb butt just follows the building...I woulda kept going around and around. lmao!!! Finally we get to the right spot..good thing people were still around...we woulda looked really stupid!!! We definitely got our excercise!

Anyway, not much has been going on...Mike has been stressing a lil bit aobut work..they have him busy busy busy..but we seem to manage to keep sane :) We are tryin to go look at a car the next day I'm off..so I'll keep ya updated about that. At this point, we don't care what kind..as long as it gets us where we want to go..meaning..if we wanna go 2 hours away we can..and not just down the street scared we wont be able to get home lol...on that note...I'm outta here...byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-04-11T08:34:00.000-07:00

A couple of nights ago we had Taco Bell...and Im sitting here and I looked down on the desk..and I see the sauce packets...ya ever see em? they have sayings on em...like one says ...Tails...uh..ugh...thought just entered my mind...ok next sauce..does a grilled stuft burrito qualify you for th car pool lane? or..do you do sauce left to right or right to left... UM...ok..who thinks these up...i want that job!!!...I'm so airheaded sometimes..mine would say.."why is my shoe untied" or my favorite.."why is an arm called an arm and not a tree?"....hey when you guys find out that answer...let me know...for now...i gotta get in the shower and get my booty shakin' booty to work...byeeeeeeeeee

2005-04-04T03:35:00.000-07:00

2005-04-01T03:25:00.000-08:00

Okay lets try this again for the 3rd time tonight!!!

HEDDO!!! Happy April Fool's Day!!

Okay..I told Jane that I would update at work tonight..but was busy..so I came home and tried..and Christy (my niece/her daughter) sent me a link..and the link took up my blog...so it erased that.........................so then again I tried a little while ago..and I tried to put a link in..which I suck at and I pressed backspace twice and it deleted my WHOLE blog thingy I did and I was almost done!!! UGH!!! So here goes...

LIVE racing starts again on Monday..which means Mike is super busy this week and my schedule had me working a few nights this week..so we haven't spent too much time together..but next week we'll have our nights together..working ...good thing we both work at the track huh. For those of you who don't know..Mike is the announcer at Hazel Park Raceway

Thank goodness LIVE racing is back..cause now I can go back to if I wanna buy something..I can.. So the money with both of us working many many hours...we'll be great! Don't get me wrong..it's not like we are suffering here in Michigan..but ya know how it is, right now if we were to go get a car..we'd definitely be living paycheck to paycheck..but now...it'll be super dee dooper!! Gawd, we reahehehehheally need a car now too!

Okay, I have to confess my fetish...Lane Bryant catalog online!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I can sit here flipping through each page/link all day! I'm not much of a shopper..but I love this site..For those of you who know me on or offline..know I'm a "plus size" kinda girl right....well what better than LANE BRYANT online..i dont have to go to the mall..which i hate goin to...i can do it all from home.......cute clothes, affordable and in my size..HUGE!!! woooohooooooo! Seriously, being overweight it can be hard to find clothes that fit good...not just in certain spots..but also affordable..but cute too...PERFECT. I'm also in BryLane and JMS...gawd I love it!!!

Okay..the name thing ya guys have going on from the name site "Dictionary of Names" http://www.pressanykey.com/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/pak//names.cgi

"Francine" -Your first name of Francine has given you a rather quiet, reserved, serious, studious nature. You have sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things of life, the beauties of nature, music, art, and literature. The people who mean the most to you are those who can offer you intellectual companionship. It is only when you are among those who understand your deeper nature that you can really be yourself. The experience of having your remarks taken lightly or belittled, particularly during the early years of your life, has caused you to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. You do not express yourself spontaneously when conversing with others; hence other people may often regard you as being aloof, and even unfriendly. Your difficulty in putting your deeper thoughts and feelings into words can lead to problems in more intimate associations. This name has caused you to live much within yourself. You are rather easily hurt or offended. At such times you can withdraw into a mood, and may not even speak to others. Aside from these points, this name contains many fine qualities. You are a thoughtful, analytical person, and you know your own mind, even though you may not speak it. You are very conscientious and competent in all that you do. You take seriously any responsibilities that you have--in the home, in the community, or at the job. Worry and mental depression could be problems in your life. Physically, any weaknesses in your health would centre in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs.

At first i didnt think it was me...but I musta been lookin up another name cause this one is JUST LIKE ME!!! Dont I sound great?

Anyway, its getting late and I have to open tomorrow..BLAH! Talk to ya guys later..byeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-03-24T17:36:00.000-08:00

Back from Cali
HEDDO!!! Welp here I am back at home in Michigan...wishing I never left California. We did have fun. Oh it was a blast. The actual trip on the plane wasn't too bad, I was just happy to be back at home with my family. Had problems getting a rental car, but things worked out. I love spending time with my family..which is exactly what we did, however I must say, "Girls night out" was a blast..but the night we had BBQ with my parents..all of my sisters, mike and lawrence and all 4 of my kiddies was the best. I tried to bbq but Lawrence kicked me outta that spot cause a thunderstorm was goin on..lol i think Christy mentioned to him that I was probaby scared, but I wasn't..Just flooded hehhe, after dinner it was game time, and man do I suck at movie games, I had a couple of good moments but..Odie ROCKS!!! Not very often can you get us all together, unfortunately Rene had to work, but we went to Monterey and saw him anyway. I will update a little more later, but gotta go pick up my checks and go grocery shopping..surprisingly Mike is the one pushing that subject lol
Before I go...Thanks everybody for having us..Odie, I'm so proud of you..and mushy stuss too heffy :)
BTW, the plane ride home SUCKED!!!

A message from Mike: I just wanted to thank everyone for their extreme hospitality. I also have learned a lot on this trip too, and I will list them now.

1. Never pull Jane's hair.
2. Always wear a seatbelt when Jodi drives.
3. Always be first at the table when those olympians are served.
4. Never pull Janes hair.
5. Never let Lawrence win at Madden again.
6. Always dismantle Baxter's wheel at nighttime.
7. Always be on Jodi's team in shout.
8. Always be on Christie's team in pictionary.
9. NEVER EVER pull Jane's hair.

Thanks to everyone for everything, and hopefully Dixon will come through so I can put this knowledge to good use.
That was MIKE, LMAOOOOOO

HAPPY 15 TH ANNIVERSARY JANE AND LAWRENCE!!

2005-03-15T08:25:00.000-08:00

HEDDO!!!

Today is the day people!!! And am I excited? Like rehehehehheally excited! Right now its about 11am, we will leave the house about 2 or 2:30 cause our plane leaves at 5:05, but of course boards earlier than that. Well I still haven't packed all the way...clothes all folded and stuff just gotta put it all together. Man before I would be packed weeeeeeeeeks in advance, seriously!

I 'cited!!! It's weird, I love all my kiddies to death but this time it's really not about them. Weird huh? It's all about the Sisser, the twin one lol, cause ya know I have 3 of em! Sissers, not twins :) We'll be wipin' our eyes for days I tell ya and that's just fine wis me. It hurts me so much to hear her, or read what she types or hear about whats going on ::uh wipes eyes:: anyway, no worries everybody I've got fat for days..theres enough of me to go around.

Girls Night Out! WAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Girls night out is something I think all of us girls need right now--Jane, Karen, Maim, Melm, me and Odie. I hope Melm (one of my sissers) goes with us. I've never been out with all my sissers at once, so I really hope she comes! A night out with the girls, eating, drinking, dancing, talking, laughing, eating, drinking, laughing, sweating, eating, drinking, probably throwing up by now--I can't wait!!! Last time..."you had 3 of those and haven't peed once???" LMAO @ Jane!

Ok I should get packing and stuff...I'll see ya all in a lil bit..well most of yas...byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2005-02-23T21:24:00.000-08:00

Heddo!!! Hey guys, alright well here I am posting..finally I guess. Lately, haven't been doing much...Just working and uh 'nacking and let me tell you ....ya can definitely tell I've been 'nackin!!! I know my big booty is gaining weight...oh man oh man...I know I've said it before..but this time I'm serious Mike and I are gonna go on a diet..not sure which..but will as soon as all the snacks are gone ...AHAHHAHHEHEHEHE!

An update about "Blue Crap"...she's running and all...come to find out the mechanic guy was too busy and we thought he was just avoiding us..but the day we went and had the car fixed...that same day he was like well if ya wanna do this car thing we can do it this afternoon..anyway..probably better he didnt cause the only thing wrong with it was that the battery was low. We took the car to Amaco Station..the mechanic did 2 diagnostic tests...told mike the reason wasnt starting was cause the battery was low...The day before, Mike left the lights on and our neighbor told us...so I guess it just wasn't getting enough juice. Anyway, long story short (too late) Blue Crap runs again.......but she reheheheheally needs to be replaced!

Anyway, Three's Company is coming on..so I gotta go..byeeeeeeeeeeeee

Rip..Slip..Brush AHHHHH

2005-02-15T20:58:00.000-08:00

HEDDO!!! Well I know it's been like over a week since I have updated..but hold your horses I'm doing it now...LOL its so different when you are on the other side and are the reader not the blogger :)

First and foremost Sanks Sisser for the Blinkies..they are tute!!

Happy Belated Valentine's All :)

Ok well to update...my car is crap again. Hence her name "Blue Crap" It's an old car..Mike bought it from his dad's friend...and no laughing at our car people...when she runs..its better than walking!! It's 86 Chevy Nova,(no ninja turtle cracks about this ok?) Blue and very much so rusty like :) but it is my baby and when we get a new one this year..Mike will still be driving her...I'll finally go get my license or something SO HA before you heffies even mention that part! Right now, I guess it's the starter...years ago it was the alternator...then the exhaust thingy parts or whatever..then like the alternator again and now...the starter! Okay, at work we know a mechanic...and im hoping this will be the last time we have to ask him for his help...he doesnt charge us or anything, but depending on the job we give him the money just for doing it. The live meet starts on April 4th, when that happens it'll be easier to get a new car...probably even used, but we discussed new :) no sense on living paycheck to paycheck if we can get our car fixed fairly cheap if we dont have to...done it before and its not fun...so we are waiting til the meet.. not sure what kind of car...I rather have a truck..or something higher..LOL even though I don't know how to get IN a truck right sissers??? But for now it's just the 2 of us..so maybe a 4 door truck with just the two handles or whatever...ya know where the other door's handles are in the inside...ya know what i mean.

Michigan weather...all i can say is dont blink cause it'll change on ya! Lately it has been cold though...tonight we are supposed to get approximately 6 inches..thank goodness I don't work tomorrow..but I open on Thursday..and if my car ain't fixed we'll be calling for a taxi..or maybe Mike's boss...he always tells us if we need a ride, he lives two doors down..but I won't accept UNLESS i have to..and so far walking has been ok..FOR NOW :)

I'm sure ya all saw my score for nerdiness..but sheesh ya shoulda saw what I scored on some of those other tests...geez!!!

Anyway, here's a site I would all like you to visit, because it's Mike's page..if you go to it..post something please!..ya can register or just sign in as a guest...this is his baby...read some of the things..some are hilarious! Hmm I wonder if that worked..last time i deleted the whole page tryin to put a link in..cause i messed up and tried to delete THAT ENTRY..anyway..see yas!

Ok, well Mike and I went to turn our cans in..mainly cause the bottles were tickin me off..cause of nowhere to put em...we got almost $30 for all the cans and bottles...wooohoooo...i love going grocery shopping and not paying for it!!! i dont know about where some of you "pop" drinkers live..but here...ya can take the cans and bottles into the grocery store..or like wal mart or wherever...walgreens even if they have it...some do too! We just take ours to kroger..(love that grocery store) and get the ticket and cash it in at the customer service desk...OR just take it to the cashier person when ya checkin out!!! isnt that great? :)

Ok, I guess I should be getting to that hellhole I call work....first work, then football...WHY ME???? lol byeeeeeeeeeee

BUCKOS HEDDO!!! Uh sawdy Sisser...I thought I was erasing a blog thingy I wrote..NOT THE WHOLE DARN BLOG PAGE :) All by accident, I promise! ahahahehhhehe (ahem)

Good grief...see what happens when people get on ya to "update" and ya dont really know what you're doing still...ya erase the whole thing...AFTER ya just updated the whole thing complaining about work!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!

OK, well a new update...geesh! Today, I am off..if there is a 398 # on my caller ID..it shall ring and ring..and ring and ring until the voice mail thingy picks up..cause I'm not goin in this time. I can't stand half the people i work with..cause they are all lazy. ESPECIALLY my boss :) to put it nicely. Anyway, Im not gonna rant and rave about work..cause then i'll try and explain what i do, where I do it..and put a link...and then BAM..erase the darn thing again..NOPE NOT ME... NOT AGAIN!!! Anyhoo, as I was saying, I'm off today and tomorrow..WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Today, I'll probably just hang around the house..maybe even clean...well just the bedroom and bathroom need a lil cleaning..but nothing to drastic..like them old days..huh odie....ahahhahehehe i miss you sisser! I'm actually in that cleaning mood, where ya wanna rearrange everything...but recently we bought a new desk..and computer as ya know..cause I'm on it :)...but the desk is too big..and too heavy..and the couch is too bulky to put certain places in the living/dining room :) But I can kinda picture how I want my living room to look..and the heavy desk and bulky couch will be moved. So I'll tell ya if I do that this week lol ...

Here I am drinkin' a diet SODA...PEOPLE IT'S SODA...NOT POP...NOT POP..NOT POP!!! damn mid-westerners! Sodie-pop is okay..or soda...but please stop with the pop! Ok, here I am drinkin' the rest of my diet pepsi..and I also have a fresh cup of coffee.....my point is we collect cans, bottles (plastic or glass)..and at first we didnt when we moved here to michigan..but holy heck people...ya get 10 (wheres the cent sign?) 10 cents for each! EACH!!!....and ya know what..if ya go to the store and see SODA on sale..say for like a 24 pack for $3.98...add the $2.40 on for deposit...so it's not really a sale...the funny one is ...a lot of places here have the 12 packs for 3 for $9.99...um add the $3.60 and it's not a sale. I'll be darned if I pay over $14 for 3 packs of soda, thats including tax!!!! But ya know..sometimes Mike does go to the store by himself and I mean "THE DELI" on the corner and he wants to get a 12 pack and pay like 5 buckeroos for that..PLUS....PLUSSSSSSS the depost and tax..WHY I OUGHTTA!!! Ok, maybe I'm cheap...but if it's definitely not a good deal..we are having 2 liters or I'm buying that cheap crap..which i do love the diet root beer..NUM NUM NUM NUM NUM!!!

Hmmm...what else? Laundry! Ok, we go and buy 3 new laundry baskets at Wal-Mart :) Mike decided a few weeks ago he wants to do laundry at 2am..DON'T ASK...just has to do with video games lol....anyway, well we didnt have any laundry baskets...i bought these huge bags from the laundry place that ya just use like baskets...well he doesn't wanna use the bags...he likes the baskets better...he wants to be able to take off his socks and throw em into the whites....that's fine, whatever. But um, why are the baskets still stacked on each other with the stickers still in em..EMPTY??? and socks all on the bedroom floor? HMMMM? lol as I act all innocent in this :) ahahahehheheh!

Ok, well anyway...I'm gonna go get some stuff done..UNTIL then...............AFFLAC!!
