Out of Place, Broken and Not Mine!

It's Friday again!!!!! Kristine at Random and Odd... has given us SPF..once again. Pick your camera up..take some pics...and play!
SEPT 30th
1. Something in your house that isn't where it should be.
2. Something you broke, but kept it.
3. Food that you have in your house that you never eat (or drink)

First: Something that isn't where it should be: Peter Cotton Tail!Now, I'm not a packrat! However, once I had him up for Easter...I just didn't take him down. I love him there. He's so cute...my little bunny...and he just looks so cute on my mantle. So I don't care. I do take my Christmas lights down, but He just blends in with the other holidays. LOL. I'm lame...I know!

Second: Something you broke, but kept anyway. This is where my husband comes in. These are channel changers that are no longer used! I couldn't tell you what they go to...but they are just extras. Why do we keep them? He has a problem throwing things away. I think it's a genetic trait. Anyhoo...if you're missing a Channel Changer and you see one you could use...let me know. :) I have plenty.

Third: Something in the house I don't eat or drink. This is one was easy. This beer is not mine! LOL. He is a beer whore. Can you tell. :) I do like the Blue Moon , though. I had it on Satruday Night. Just cut an orange , squeeze it in...and then pour the beer. Really pretty yummy.

PMS PMS PMS....and MY CURES :)


Do you ever have those days when those three things go together like peanut butter and jelly. Well, today everything seems to have culminated into one whole PMSY day. That's why I only posted the Video for little one. The best part of the day seemed to be dancing to Hollaback Girl with Ava...!

We had to go to the Opthamologist for her eyes. (She used to be horribly cross eyed.) She has never worn glasses or needed them, but now that she's begging to read things are a little fuzzy for her. Well she needs them for reading. She told me she would only wear them if they were pink with sparkles! Sooooooooo...hmmmm.....does anyone have any ideas?

Well, if you're having any cravings and feeling psmy too...I have two suggestions.
1. Listen to Hollaback Girl and dance! OR
2. Make some cookies...and have a little dough while you're at it. :)

TMI Tuesday!!!!!!

Ok Blogging Babes (Bitches if your naughty) there's a new game in town! Our very own
Lizzie Girl has come up with this little ditty!
TMI TUESDAY....
1. How many speeding tickets have you had? Accidents? 2 Tickets....I was in threee accidents with the same girl in high school! Maybe I jinxed her.

2. Boxers, briefs or commando? I love a man in boxer briefs. There's something about those that are just yummy.

3. Have you ever had sex in your office or your place of employment? Hmmmmm.... Ugh .... yes! However....years and years and years ago!

4. Do you or your so own a motorcycle? Do you ever ride one? Do you wear a helmet when you ride? No No No....

5. Ever been skinny dipping? God yes! I go back to my favorite year of skinny dipping...actually it was a whole entire summers worth with one really hot swimmer from Huntington Beach....

Bonus! Ever been arrested? Turned someone in/had someone arrested? Never arrested, but I did have the Huntington Beach police call my parents looking for me, because I disappeared from the scene of a crime. .....OOOOOOOH and I almost forgot. In college I had a roommate who was dating a guy from Saudi Arabia. One night we had the DEA knock on our door. It turns out that this guy had her buying him guns and she lied to the DEA about it. yep....I eneded up in the FBI office of Tucson telling them what happened. LOL. Never a dull moment!

Play....play play...!

Want Some Panty Talk?

What Your Underwear Says About You

You like your underwear to make you feel girlish and pretty. Let's hope you're a chick.

You're a closet exhibitionist who gets a thrill from being secretly naughty.

Ooooooh and it knows I'm naughty!!!!! :)

SPF...Odd and Random!




Here are Fridays Odd and Random Pictures. Our Lovely Kristine brings us some great topics every Friday. Sometimes I totally suck at getting them posted, but I seem to be on the ball today...in between watching RITA.

First off you'll notice the "Looked better in the store" Item. This Cuisinart combo sucks! The blender is fine, but the food processor is cheap and crap. It's impossible to clean and it just doesn't work like I wanted it to. I guess I needed to spend the $200 for the really good one. I don't use it often, but when we're making guacamole and salsa...we need more options!!!!

Oh and the cup! Those damn cups just crack like there's no tomorrow! HATE THEM. They're at Costco. They come in a bunch of cute colors. Maybe they were just summer items...but buyer beware.

Next item is my cute PINK cell phone and PINK cell phone case! Yes, Pink is my signature color and I don't need a camera on my phone. :) They didn't have any pink camera phones...!

Finally you'll see my camera. I need a better one! I didn't know how to take a picture of it..so like Kristine, I just copied the picture from HP. I need a rockin camera. Something that takes great zoom ins and zooom outs. Maybe that's why I suck in the picture posting department. I need to be IN LOVE with my camera.

Ok Blogging Babes....I played!

I love you guys and have never met you!

Do you ever think about how lucky we are?! We really are you guys. In my little blogosphere there's a core group of junkies. Instead of OBA (over blogger anonymous)..I propose a new name. From this point forward...let's be the
"The Blogging Babes" !!!!!!

I was vacuuming the ceiling fan and watching Oprah yesterday. If any of you did it...you know who the special guest was. Yep.... JON BON JOVI.
I am forever corrected. He is HOT! I think of him and think of 1987 Bon Jovi. Long hair lots of hair on his chest...yuck look (peanutt..i know you love that kind of rocker dude.) :)

Anyhooo....it got me to thinking. I couldn't wait to get on and pull a Mea Culpa. I mean I couldn't wait to share with my friends. I have friends who I talk to every day...and yes I thank God we have 2000+ cell phone minutes and unlimited long distance on the phone. Sometimes, though...you guys are who I can't wait to tell things to. Sometimes, you guys get it more than people I've known forever. We make each other laugh, lift each other up....feel the pain and happiness of the day.

So my Blogging Babes (and you know who you are)you're treasured. You're needed. You mean so much to me. Sappy ok...but truthful...yes!

This is what I predict. We're going to meet. We're going to have cocktails. WE will sooooo get one another...and we'll laugh even harder when that happens. :)

Ok...so I hope you're all smiling, because I really mean it.
Thanks Lizzie for naming a squirrel after me.
Thanks MD for the boobies and thong talk.
Thanks Peanutt for showing me that a former rocker chick can become a Dainty Diva
Thanks Bethy for your sweet cute self and letting us be your piss in your pants.
Thanks Bart for your most eloquent insights all the time.
Thanks Fej for being one of the originals on my blog list.
Thanks CAT...and I miss you sooooo much. Come Back.
Thanks Jewl for showing me I'm soooo not alone.
Thanks Cali Marie..I just love you.
Ok, there are more...but i'll stop now....I need more coffee and to take the boy to Mother's Day Out!

Mooshy enough for all of you....?
XOXO

Pretty Funny...From A Liberal Sister....Of course...

My little sister is a screaming liberal! That has to be said and understood before I post this. I never pass on the jokes and things...but this had me spitting coffee out. Too funny......
George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are
flying on Air Force One. The President looks at the
Vice President, chuckles, and says, "You know, I could
throw a $1,000 bill out the window right now and make
somebody very happy."

The Vice President shrugs and says, "Well, I could
throw 10 $100 bills out the window and make 10 people
very happy."

Not to be outdone, the Secretary of Defense says, "Of
course, then, I could throw 100 $10 bills out the
window and make a hundred people very happy."

The pilot rolls his eyes and says to his co-pilot,
"Such arrogant asses back there. Hell, I could throw
the three of them out the window and make 56 million
people really happy."

Ode to Alcohol...Via My Favorite 24 Year Old Single Girly!

Dear Alcohol,
First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge
fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be
there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a
beer at the game, and you're even around in the
holidays, hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when
we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings.

However, lately I've been wondering about your
intentions. While I want to believe that you have my
best interests at heart, I feel that your influence
has led to some unwise consequences:

1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that
communication is important, I question the suggestion
that any conversation of substance
or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those
ex-girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not
want to hear from me during the day, let alone all
hours of the night?

2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but
why do you suggest that I eat a kebab, a butter
chicken curry along with a sausage with cheese, onion
and mustard (washed down with WINE & topped off with a
Kit Kat, after a few sweet chilli and sour cream
red rock chips)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think
you went too far this time.

3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell
me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance,
I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me
to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the
black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously
the next day are beyond me.
Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the
front door key into the lock.

4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This
is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for
our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but
the 3pm hangover immobility is completely
unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if
the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B,
bread products, aspirin) prior to going to
sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor
with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal
& in no way interfere with my daily activities.

Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some
years now & would like to ensure that we remain on
good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories,
the provocation for much laughter, and the needed
companion when I just don't know what to do with
the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue
this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my
grievances above & address them immediately. I will
look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm
(pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions &
hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.

Thank you,
Your biggest fan

Bookmarks and Valium...

Well friends...the Mom knows how to bookmark things on the computer. Next, it was my Dad, not my sister who informed the mom about the blog. HOLY CRAP! Don't even ask me how he found it. That being said...she called at 9:15PM...and wanted to tell me she does know how to bookmark! My wonderful Dad bought her, her very own computer and she was on her bed reading the blogs!

Conversation:
"Christie, could you just go and take out some of the Fucks, because I'm going to call the cousins in Massachusettes and let them know about your blog!"

"Ugh..."

"Christie, just go and take some of them out. Oh, and I do have anything you might need for a little headache or anxiety."

"No shit mom"
In the background you hear my sisters cracking up about how she's found me out and I got stuck on the phone with her for a half hour.!!!!!

That was last night...here's the morning now!
1. Hubby is away on business.
2. The children have lost all sense of reality.
3. We've been up since 4:45.
4. I'm slowly losing my mind this morning and it' only 9:30.
5. I can't even go potty alone.
6. First things out of their mouths were the begging for toy store shopping ???WTF
7. I'm sure I'm just crabby, but still.
8. I'm sitting here looking at the blogs sipping coffee...and I hate to admit it watching Britney and Kevin's Chaotic on MTV. (i'm a loser..yep)
9. Calgon take me away.
10.Sorry for the venting.
11.Not very encouraging when you're feeling Valium worthy this early in the day.
Calgon....Calgon....Calgon

I'VE BEEN DISCOVERED!

Holy Crap!

I can't see my blog when I type my address in! I can see all of yours, but not minFuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck! (Lizzie...totally appropriate time for the use of Fuck.)So, no SPF yet. I'm hoping it's just a glitch and if I publish this and republish the whole thing we might be somewhere!

Here are a few Friday noteworthy items...
1. My little Mocha puppy likes to sleep right next to my ass! He always just snuggles right there. Hmmmm. Either is the soft he likes or who knows..! I'll take a picture, he's right here right now. :) He's so cute.
2. My hubby is gone again for work. UGH! So lucky me I get the children alone for, yet another 3 days in a row!
3. There has been a squierrel running around my yard and i'm petrified to go outside. Now, Lizzie has a friend named Christie chatting with her. Maybe I should send my NON FRIEND...over to her and they could chat away. BTW..Who the fuck invented a Squirrel feeder! WTF!
4. My lovely sister told my mom about my blog! All together now....!!!!!! (hi mom)UGH UGH UGH! Thanks Erin Leigh...love ya! Next time you have a "don't tell mom moment...i'll think twice.." :) My mom is so computer illiterate she probably won't find me again.
5. However, my mother now wants a BLOG! She told me to set it up and let her know. GOd please help me. LOL! Jan and a blog. Totally dangerous! We're thinking it could be called Jan's Bag Of Tricks...because that is the joke in my family. She many Louis Vuitton bags And when she has one we call it the bag of tricks. See...if you are anxious Jan can pull out something to settle you. YOu have a migraine? Jan's bag of tricks has a cure! You say no there will not be any cats for the children...Jan pulls the money out of her Bag of Tricks for a Shih Tzu puppy!6. Finally...if this fucking blog doesn't post...I'm going to scream!
XOXO

Baby You've Come a Long Way.....



Here she is...my hottie of Law School student Sister!

She's young...she's 24...and she has legs from the ground to the sky! She's a liberals liberal. She is kind, sweet, and can do money better than most of us chickies. She's got the best abs I've ever seen in my life with the perfect 20something bod!! She probably owns more thongs than any of us! LOL! :)

I just saw this party pic of her and knew I had post this.

I love this girl!

Now...Erin is the baby and I do have another Sister, Melanie! She's a tall hottie, too. Obviously they have got the 20s down. I was in such a hurry. I'm proud of my babies for taking it slowly...doing what they want. Exploring life!

I just you both to know (because I know you're reading this) that I love you sweet beautiful girls. I miss not living close to one another...and I want us closer. Some day it will happen. So here is my ode to you both. My sweet lovely, pain in the ass sisters, and wonderful sisters....Without you who would guilt me every day....tell me I'm the greatest...or understand the complexities of mom and still be able to just laugh with me.

The poor poor men to come into our world at the same time. :)

HERE'S A NEW ONE!

Lizzie Baby has made up her own Quiz! Woohoo! If you haven't read her blog(s), she's got more than anyone I know...you should go over and check her out! Come on take the quiz. It's new. :)

1. How many languages do you speak? Just Speak English, However I can understand Italian and I can count to 20 in Spanish. I'd love to learn a new language, but which one should it be. :)

2. a) What is the link to your favorite blog (besides mine of course!)? Ok. I do have a few favorite blogs. My first click every morning is usual Mama D , because she's always posted before me. Peanutt, Bethy, Marie...and Cat hunny...are never quite as fast as she is and they're part of my first 6..(including Lizzie Baby.) b) And to a cool website? I love iTunes.
3. Where is the best place you've ever been on vacation? The Italian Alps...

4. How many thongs do you own? Teehee...Since I did a huge purge, I know for a fact I have 14 good thongs!

5. Why do you read other people's blogs... do you look for specific content (quizzes, funnies, sex stuffs, etc) or do you tend to get addicted to someone's site and stick around and read whatever they post? I love to laugh..and I care about these people I've found on here. We aren't full of crap, because we back our stuff up with pics...and we're all a bunch hot mamas, and a few papas, if you ask me! Plus...I'm totally nosey!

6. How old were you when you had your first kiss (like a real kiss, not in Kindergarten while playing house)? I was in 8th grade! It was with Robby Gunderson. Yes there was tongue! LOL.

7. What is your favorite techie item that you own? I moved up to an Ipod and I love it. Plus, I love my Tivo and my the GPS in the new car! I'm becoming a geek! Oh and let's not forget the wireless web.

8. What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten? It couldnt' have been longer than 3 inches and it was the smallest Peepee ever. ICK! I don't know what phase I was in...but it was soooooo not worth what went down! TMI I know. But ....ICK ICK ICK!

9. What kind of pets do you own? I have my Reeses Pieces Butter Cup...you've seen pics of him. He's a carmel colored adopted dog. They told us he was a mix of Aussie Sheppard and Sheltie. Hmmm I don't think so. He is the softest dog you'll ever feel. We also have our 10 week baby Shih Tzu, Mocha. Soooooo Cute! (Lizzie..no hamster, mice or anything in the rodent family ...ever!)

10. What are your favorite a) non-alcoholic Java, of course and Yes..Diet Coke! and b) alcoholic drinks? Jack Daniels on the rocks...and a lovely Christitini! (Skyy Vodka Melon flavored with pineapple juice..stirred with ice...and then strained into my yummy Pink Tini Glasses! )

Schoool Days School Days....






Well today was Christie Volunteer at the school day. I've been doing for a few weeks. It's actually pretty fun. The things those kids say when their parents are not around. LOL...Holy Crap is all I can say.

I just thought in my own way I'd try to explain the school "Supply List" for those of you unfamiliar with it. You may get one with your little one goes to Kindergarten and I want you to really understand what some of the items are for. Yes those are TENNIS BALLS!

Pencils are a given. However when you're to send two boxes..you wonder a little? (Yep room moms get to sharpen some of these as a little added task.)

Next are the famous tennis balls! Yep...you see now. All the balls in action!

Then I noticed a tree...could that be a leaf changing colors!? Fall is almost here. I love this time of year.

Manic Monday....

When you have three kids life is busy on Monday Mornings!

My boy crawled in bed with me at 5:15AM and asked if all mommies sleep naked. Crap. "Ooooh Mommy cover your boobies." Ok...so I guess it's time to not sleep naked anymore. He's still young enough, but still. When they're telling you to cover your boobies...it's time.

(Yes, I could tell stories for ever that come out of my children's mouths.)

That being said, it was an early wake up. This mama was not ready to rise and smell the coffee. However, when I actually smelled the yummy coffee I thought the hubby surprised me with a pot of timered Java. Ugh...no. My darling girl made a pot for me and she's getting mighty good! Then she told me to have a cup and she'd bug me after. :) She sooooo knows how the mommy functions.

Coffee was being sipped and I could hear my purse being rummaged through. Yep...same daughter was pulling out my makeup. After I handed her the lipgloss she was pissy because it wasn't clear enough. It had too much color. UGH...Excuse me. So the tude was there...and the coffee was a sugar coat. LOL!

The girls were off. Sam and I finished getting ready and we went over to the Grandparents' Day Tea (yes that's today i think.)Since we have no grandparents here...it was just the mommy. It was fine, though. I got tons of video and pictures. They did a little song and served tons of doughnuts. So...all in all a wonderful busy day all before 10!

The life of a mommy. See guys...it just keeps getting busier as they get into school :)!

Today my goal is to find some good ice skates and hockey ones for the boy. Yes, Ava (6), used the caller ID to call the grandparents and talk them into sending her to Ice Skating lessons. Hmmmm....she has learned young. So, now all get to go. See what happens after a weekend of watching The Ice Princess!

Happy Monday Friends...
PS...We soooooooo need to live closer!
XOXO

One Early Morning....

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry
Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below
~ Alan Jackson

(Mama Duck posted these lyrics. I needed to also.)
I was waking up and turned on the news. It was 6:15ish AM I think. I noticed Katie was on and that wasn't a normal thing. A "small commuter plane" had hit one of the World Trade Center buildings. I was glued. I was watching as they showed the other plane going in.

NBC had their Pentagon correspondent on the phone. He was commenting and all of a sudden a plane hit the Pentagon. All hell was breaking loose.

We watched in horror..as a COUNTRY...the first building crash down. The second came down. Lives were gone. Where were the people? Tears were running down my cheeks. Our world stopped. Horror. Pain.

It was a changing moment in our life. We were all glued. All the stations had news on. All of them. We couldn't laugh. Husbands told wives to step away from the TVs.
We were all depressed. I know we as a nation were depressed, grieving and feeling helpless.

It's been a few years, yet I can still feel the pain so clearly.

Remember our flags? Who still has their flag waving?
I DO.

I love this country. I am a proud American. I support our troops. I support fellow man. I will help Katrina victims,now.

I joined the Red Cross and will go to Disaster Relief Training on Wednesday all day. I will do something. I am blessed, raised in a loving family and never wanted for anything.

Can you do something to help? Can you pack some relief kits? Collect some water? Do a training class? Give a hug?

My friends....let's help those who need our help. It's heartbreaking to have Katrina as we remember 9/11. Visit Cat's Site. She has lost everything. Everything!

Can you send a t shirt...a pair of pants, socks, maybe some legs for her boy?

Think about it.
God Bless America...

SATURDAY HAPPENINGS....

It's so nice to know Cat is with her family and finally to get some rest! When I opened her email I was so happy! She actually was able to send an email. That was the best news in days!

Head over to her site and there is a list of things that she and her family could use. Her sister in law, Heather (our favorite blog designer) put it together. She has lost everything! Cat won't ask for this so some of us are asking for help for her!

Ok...so there was serious, now on to the fluff!

* My kids are out of their minds. That's all that needs to be said. We all get that.
* Sam wanted to try to pee into a diet pepsi bottle just for fun. Uhhhh NOOOOOO! He told me his penis would fit. Yep..delightful!
* I heard from an old friend last night and it was wonderful. It's been a while since we talked and we picked up like we had spoken just the other day. I love that!
* Oh and BTW...I think I've said, "PUT THE DOG DOWN," about 75 times today.

Calgon take me away...

SPF...Stuff and A Hottie!






Here's another SPF from our wonderful lovely Kristine's Random Thoughts!

Sports Stuff...
Let's start with the Sport JUNK or as men would say "collectibles"! You'll notice the well worn University of Arizona Hat! It's my favorite! I loved going to college there and I miss the days of standing in the student section at the football games shaking our keys for A "Key Play"!!!! LOL. I was there when we started that tradition. I wonder if they're still doing that.

U of A is a basketball school!We have Lute! We have a few championships...and WE LOVE OUR BASKETBALL! This is a must have for any true AZ Alum!

Favorite Play...
Brett Favre Baby! He is the hottest. I do have a bobble of him. How could I not?! He's next to the John the Baptist one from Southern Minor League baseball came ...remember? LOL!

I don't have any tailgating pics...but you just wait! We're going to be Titan tailgators in a few weeks!

PS...did I tell you all I made the best football food!
xoxo
C

Yep...I've lost it...Just a bunch of MOOSH! XOXO!

Do you ever have those days when you don't want to answer the phone? I mean I have the ones all the time where I don't want to get up, but the kids must be fed. So, my need for alone time takes shape when I don't want to deal with the calls.

I've been reading everyone and we're all feeling a little funky. I just thought it was about time I write something good to perk my buddies up. SOOOOO read on.

Before that...TO THE ASS THAT WROTE ME THAT EMAIL..FUCK YOU! I received an email for a prick who said we all complain and should be grateful we have homes and families. Ok...well fuckhead...we are grateful! We miss Cat. We've cried and cried. We needed a laugh. THONGS, BOOBIES...and POOPIE is the codeword for laughing for us. So..screw you and take your preaching to the choir.

Ok..now that that's out of the way. :)

Mama Duck, You Hunny, are our sweet MD who brightens us, gives us poonami tales...and we know you have your favorite thong. Ok...but hunny...Earl needs to go! xoxo (OBA Founding Member)

Cat Hunny, You're so strong and brave. I can't believe that two weeks ago we were worrying about the hot tub. Now, you're going to KC and we miss you. You have us and we love you.(OBA Founding Member)

Peanutt, You're my Gemini baby. Remember when we had matching blogs? :) When we connect it's kismit. I just sooooo don't get the Jon Bon Jovi thing! UGH...Hugh Grant baby. Oh that's right, you're our Crue girl. Ok...it's better than Tommy, I guess. (OBA Founding Member)

Bethy Girl, Could you be any cuter?! I love that we found each other. You're a constant sweet perk me up. xoxo

Jewl Baby, Can you believe we found each other on here. WE have sooooo much of the same in our worlds. I wish you were closer!!!!! You need a hug and sleep. I wish I could help you and ease your poor brain.

Lizzie Girl, You are the blogger Queen! You have more blogs and kids than anyone I know! You Rock! Hey everyone...Lizzie mentioned Boobies, Thongs, and Cocktails all in the same post!!!! She's an official member of OBA.

Marie My Cali Girl I have this thing with Marie that is beyond words. You're so special...amazing....funny and baby we have so much the same in our worlds. Except the hubby factor.

I hope you're feeling better.

Boobies, Thongs and Poop

Wow...I'm back and feeling frazzled still.

I'm in agreement with Mama Duck we need more Boobie, Poopie, and Thong talk! I need to lighten things up and get a smile on! Don't you guys need that too.

This really is 9/11 ten times. I'm just feeling such a sadness it's crazy. We can all give. We just need to figure out how. I watched Oprah yesterday and was done. I was in tears over the spaghetti. UGH!

SOOOOOO bring it on Mama hunny! Boobies and Thongs. Hmmmmm. Anyone have a favorite?! I have these BBV V-strings. Not very good to exercise in. Then I have these wonderful thongs that VS doesn't even make anymore. I had bought so many that I have a bunch that are still new. LOL. Yep..I'm an underwear WHORE! I have drawers full. I think pictures are needed. Hmmm.

Oh and BTW. I went through my little drawers yesterday and threw away anything I wouldn't want to be picked up in an ambulance in! How's that for cute?

Ok...I needed this light little fluff post to get back into things.
I'm thinking of all of you and missing you guys.
XOXO

Send in the Marines!

For the last few days we've all been watching the devastation. Hubby and I keep saying they just need to send in the Marines. They're the ones that bail this country and others out in a heartbeat. They have the training, the means and are quick to mobilize.

The Marines are a contained unit. In a battalion you'll find helipcopters, boats and Amphibious Vehicles....food, water, medics...everything. They have enough to last for weeks if sent into battle...or life saving as in needed in New Orleans.

Jewl, probably knows, as well as I do...and Bethy's sister...they send them in when all else fails. Thank God...literally for this fine force. I'm not sure how many infantry battalions they're sending in, but throughout the day we'll know.

Candy Man had to draw up some briefs on the assets he has. I'm sure he won't go. It looks like they're going full force. My hubby is a Major (active duty)...but here in Nashville he overseas the reserves components. He and his superiors are all active. So, they really know what something like this takes. They PRACTICE MISSIONS LIKE THIS!

I continue to pray. I mean really pray on my knees. This is America. WE can airlift and drop food to Tsunami victims in 2 days...get tent cities built in a heart beat...and we need to get this taken care of!

God Bless all these people. Please God feed them and get them where they need to be. Bless the souls who have died in this horrific disaster. God Bless Everyone struggling to stay alive and waiting still to be saved. Wrap your arms around them, protect them...and please God give them peace. Please Lord..give strength to all the men and women volunteering. They need your guidance, your strength...patience.

Ok..so it took me an hour to type this. I don't have any wit left right now. Maybe I'll be better after coffee. I just want to pack up my car and bring them something.To thing this is America and we can't figure this out yet. Ok..I'm done. My brain is hurting.

CAt....I'm soooo glad you're well and in one piece! Your homes seem to have held up too. Sooooo soooo happy for you!
Love,
Christie

3:30 AM...Just a few thoughts racking my busy brain

*I miss Cat and hope hope hope and pray she's doing ok (she is safe) and hasn't lost everything. I can't imagine her pain and desperation she is feeling.
*I went to Church last night to try and figure out what I could do to help. I'm a heart on your sleeve kind of girl and I just want to do something. There are so many families here that just need some basics. HOpefully we can get these things passed out.
*Life is so good for me. I'm a lucky girl.
*I've come to the conclusion that, I too, may go to a local grocery store for food and water for my kids if I hadn't had any in 3 days. Yes, I would. However, to the looters out there...What the Fuck do you do with a TV or Stereo with no power?!!!!!! Not totally judging...but WTF!
*I told hubby last night, as I was watching the news, that I didn't think I could do it. I didn't think I would be able to walk through miles of waste and water...only to find no food or water, diapers for the babies, and unbearable heat. He said I sooo would. Nice that he has faith in me.
*It feels like 9/11 all over again. Do you feel it? I'm glued to the tv, sipping and doing laundry. Thankful I have all the luxeries of my world.

On a lighter note...MUCH LIGHTER...I was soooo lucky! I got to sit through, exactly, 438 pictures of my Mother In Laws Alaska trip. Hubby hooked that digital to the tv and we got to watch all those pics. I'm telling you there was commentary on each picture! LOL! Mil is still here. Ok...this is me up at 3 AM...I think I'll go back to bed.

I need sleep before the little ones grace me with their presence!
XOXO
