An old song but it's still funny!

Ok here it goes...an old song. I have no idea where I learned this, none. I have a feeling that I learned it school. Isn't that where all the good ones are invented?. I'm pretty sure this is true because my youngest boy, 10, has sung me quite a few...new ones. I will put one of his next he comes for the weekend. Anyways, here is mine....

Gene, Gene, made a machine....
Joe, Joe, made it go......
Art, Art, cut a fart and blew it all apart.

Isn't that funny?! Well, if you had my sense of humor you would...lol

"I was tagged"

I think I was "tagged" tonight. I was on Blogexplosion surfing members blogs. Well, tonight I was surfing and I have not been able to stop reading the very first blog that appear before me. It s been a very interesting read this evening. You can find it here. At the end of one of her entries....it pretty much said...so I'm supposed to tag 5 people, so I tag YOU. I paraphased alot but you get the gist. I think its called a "meme" or something or rather. Well, anyways for the next couple of hours, cause I know it take me awhile to do it....and then it will be done...

so here it goes............

Where was I ten years ago........

Lets see, 10 years ago, I would have been almost a month into my 23rd birthday. Don't do the math, that would be rude...LOL My youngest child was approaching the 7 month mark. I also had a 2.5 yr old and my eldest was a little over 3. Yes I had them close, which i didn't like back then but now that Im older I appreciate it alot. At this point in my life, my 3 kids was all I had besides my husband at the time. They were my life.

Where was I 5 years ago.............

I was separated from my first husband and already living with the next husband. We had just moved back to Ohio after being in Kentucky for a few months. I was working as a Deputy Jailer at the county jail in which we lived. My sister Lori I was working there and got me the job. Aren't older sisters cool?!

One year ago...........

My husband and I (we got married in '01) were a month away from moving back to Ohio(again) from Kentucky. But this time it was gonna be a permanent thing. I was so tired of having to move it drove me freaking nuts. We always had to do everything ourselves except hubby did manage to carry the couch and loveseat, on his back up 3 flights of stairs. Needless to say, his back hurt for awhile after that. Then one time we moved it was in the middle of the night in the downpouring rain, but this time we did have a some friends helping us, so that made it a little bit more tolerable. But still! I hate moving, with a passion. Could ya tell?!

Yesterday?..........

Hmmm, lets see if I can remember. I got up at a ten after eleven in the a.m. Started a load of whites, made coffee. Our pot only takes 2 minutes to make a pot of coffee. Sweet!! Straightened up some of my Dad's mess and finally poured myself some coffee and went into the bedroom, sat at the computer desk and preceded to get online. Got ready for work a while late. Left for work. Worked up until 12:15 that night. Left work, stopped at Krogers for milk and bread. Went home, made more coffee and smoked for a little while. Ate some chicken and dumplings, and then went to bed.

Five snacks I enjoy..........

Munchies by Doritos.

Cherry Kool-aid & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Froot Loops, with milk or without. Depends on mood.

Kettle Korn popcorn.

Ham and Cheese Hot pockets.

Five songs I know all the words to......

Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard.

Hey You by Pink Floyd.

Like A Stone by AudioSlave.

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler.

A Woman in Love by Barbra Streisand.

Five things I would do with a $100 million dollars........

With that much money I'm sure one could figure out how to all sorts of things. First thing I would do is pay back all the money I've ever borrowed from anybody in my whole life. Set up something for my childrens education and needs. Build my Dad a new house. Take myself to the doctor. Buy me a good car and hand out food to the less fortunate.
Five locations I would run away to.....

First would definitely be Ireland.
A tropical beach, alone.
Alaska.
My older sisters house.
Grand Canyon, just once before I die.

Five of my bad habits......

Smoking cigarettes.
Picking my lips until the bleed. (i have been getting better at not doing this)
Getting into situations I can't get out of.
Not cleaning up my messes. I am my fathers daugter.
and number 5 is....ask my husband he is better at this. LOL

Things I like doing........

Reading. Haven't done this in awhile.
Hanging out with friends.
Listening to music really loud in my room. Wish I could do it more often but THE DAD.
Being with my children.
Like to have my moments of just being with myself for awhile. Not long, just a little while.

Five things I never wear..........

Lipstick.
Miniskirts.
Anything thing with horizontal lines.
Spandex.
A condom! Im a girl for petes sake! LOL

Five tv shows I like........

ER
Law & Order (All of them.)
Star Trek, not the old the new.
American Chopper.
City Confidential.

Biggest Joys of the moment..........

I'm actually losing weight and I'm not sure really why.
I took a few extra days off work to regroup.
My dad walking through the kitchen belching as he goes. This is my life. Lovin every minute of it...

Five favorite toys......

This darn machine!
My little wooden pipes.
Box of crayola crayons. They really are better.
My blog.
My make-up.

So that is it...it just took me a little over an hour to do that. At this point I'm supposed to tag five people. What is this tagging? And does it hurt?? I'm not one who thrives on pain...lol

So Im gonna do what the one before me did and TAG YOU ~~~~~~ You are it!!! laughing as I run fast away from you......LOL

Scotty was finally beamed up.

I just found out that Scotty(James Doohan) from Star Trek, has passed away. May he rest in peace.

A very good weekend.....

It was a very good weekend for the hubby and I. We had some of the best sex we've ever had in our almost 4 years of marriage. Our anniversary is Aug. 3 and I hope I don't forget it this year. I did last year and the year before. It was not good. My hubby remember but I didn't. Thats not good, is it?. The only thing is this year I will be on vacation at my sisters' in Kentucky for 2 weeks and our anniversary falls during this time. I guess when I get back or when he comes down for the weekend, I will have to make it up to him and that I will! He is the best. I do love him so much. Thank you, honey for the best weekend! You sure know me don't ya?! *wink* *wink*

Stoners of America, we have a new member..

Yes its true, we have a new member.....who is this person you say. Well, I will tell ya. My sixty something Uncle on my dads side. His name is Junior, yes, Junior, not kidding at all. Anyhoo, it was so funny showing him how to use the pipe and all that. It was funny but he enjoyed. I will talk with him tomorrow(sunday) see how he feels and all. Now only if I could get my dad high all would be well....

passage of time

Oh the wishes we seek upon the deceived,

wicked webs and lies un-perceived.

Fodder for the glory, glory received,

cast of shadowy eyes upon morbid sigh.

Timeless tales always believed,
whether true, often to mislead.
food for the soul, soul arose,
a wounded part beside beautiful heart.

Food Memories of the Past

Is there anyone else out that remembers eating kool-aid and cookies together?

Fruit Punch and Chocolate Chip Cookies were my and still are my favorite.

Then there is Rice Krispie Treats. Yum Yum! Which reminds me that I have some of the SNAP! KRACKLE! POP! and marshmellows. Guess what I am making tomorrow.

The Greatest Joke Ever (to a married couple)

When his wife's snoring woke him for the third straight night, Harry went to the bathroom medicine cabinet, got some aspirin and popped two tablets into her gaping mouth.

"Awk, glub!" choked his startled wife. "What the..."

"It's okay, honey. I gave you some aspirin," he explained.

"Why? I don't have a headache!"

"Great!" said Harry, triumphantly. "Let's fuck!"

electricity anyone....

Well, tonight at work was an interesting night. For about an hour and a half, we lost power. The rumor was that somebody struck a major pole down the road and knocked out about 10 square miles of business'. It kind of sucked because our sales had been up all day and when we lost power they just went right down the drain. Also, in a restaurant when the air conditioning is not working it gets freaking hot!! We were all sweating bullets. And you know what amazed me the most. We had to turn people away and they were very upset or just pissed off. It was like "Go home and fix yourselves something to eat. You must remember how." The power came back on about 9 so we opened the store back up. It was a good night all and all.

In other news......At the end of this month I'm taking 2 weeks off work and taking my kids down to Kentucky to stay with my sister. I am looking forward to this because 1. I get to spend time with my kids, 2. I get away from my dad.(who is driving me nuts with his I'M RIGHT! YOUR WRONG! about everything attitude) And the funny thing about it is, he has no more than a 6th grade education, if that and the man can't read or write. Ok he can write his name and thats about it. I tell ya what he would drive you insane too! You know what else drives me crazy is when he tells me we need to keep the dishes done and he hasn't even done them in over 2 months. OH but he will swear up and down that he has. I know there is some other stuff to but its just make me mad just thinking about it so I won't anymore.

not much happening.....

There hasn't been a whole lot happening this week. Did have family over for a cook-out on Monday and then we went and watched fireworks. It was nice.

At work, Debbie gave me a nickname of "Tater" and her nickname now is "Git'R Done, Git'r for short. Its really funny. I guess you could say Debbie and I are up and coming drinking buddies..LOL I'm not really much of a drinker. I mean I do drink but not alot. I'm not good at handling my alcohol. I could drink about 3 beers and I'm drunk but not throwing up drunk thats just nasty and no fun.

a mothers' realization....

I had a new thought today about my youngest son. He is 10. Well, it was like pulling teeth today to keep him outside. (Everytime I told him to go out he made excuses as to why he couldn't go out, which of course, none of them worked on me. Sorry, kiddo. And outside he went. After a few minutes outside he would eventually get up and go aggravate his older brother who is 12. Who just happens to be the same size as him. And of course, in older brother fashion he would end up around me and just have to tell on him. So they both used their final warning and it finally got through to them to stop aggravation each other, if only for a little while, they are brothers and thats what brothers do aggravate each other. Its in true brother fashion. The only reason he wanted to stay in is because he is a video game freak. He loves them. Wants to play them all the time. And he would if I let him. He is only 10 and he is hooked.

Had some fun had some fun!!

I did something last night that I thought I would never do. I karoaked...you know where you sing a song in front of a bunch of people. It was fun. I sang Def Leppards' Pour Some Sugar On me. That is my song. That is the only song I actually know by heart and can just sing anytime, with music or not. The kicker is, I couldn't get Debbie, Rob, or Chris to get and sing. I guess it was just funnier watching me making a complete fool of myself. It was funny. We had fun. It was awesome. When we finally was making our way back home Rob and I ran out of gas....again. Had to call my sister at 330 in the morning to bring us gas. Thank goodness for sisters.
