Aren't they sweet considering they are usually beating each other up

Happy Birthday Denise

We all love you very much

The concert and such

Bruce Springsteen was awesome and the E Street Band just rocked. His voice sounds the same and he just completely worked the stage. Our Precor group was in the executive suite and let me tell you that I am spoiled now and can't imagine seeing a concert any other way..ha ha The suite was close to the floor and behind the stage but you could see everything very close up and of course their were screens as well and they played towards us back and forth. The suite had three or four sections of two rows of seats. The back had two bars, two refrigerators filled with pop and an awsome buffet of dinner set up in the back. One of our Precor employees had invited two friends (that are friends of Mike and I) that we hadn't actually seen in four years. It was so great to catch up with them and I had so much fun. The best part of being in the suite was that there were two bathrooms and you never had to leave once you were in there. I have worked for quite a few corporations over my career but I have never gotten the perks that I get working for Precor. It's like they never end and I am getting so spoiled but I appreciate every second of it. Bottom line for me is that I am a country girl at heart and would be happy sitting on my beat up porch drinking lemonade and eating corn on the cob. However, getting to sometimes be part of a "caviar" type world is so much fun and I think I'll just enjoy it.

In need of Vampire

Where is Edward today? Oh I forgot...he is sitting right next to me and I'm taking him home with me today. It's very cold and cloudy in Seattle today so we won't have any trouble with the sunlight although I'd like to see his diamond like skin shimmering in my van. Wanna come over Kris?

American Idol

My top favorites last night were.

David Cook-that was incredible and I could have never imagined singing Billie Jean like that.

Michael Johns..I love this guy and he finally blew it out last night

Brooke White..for me she is the real deal and not full or herself or full of shit. I think she does an amazing job.

Live from New York it's Saturday Night

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood, "Can you say, Policeman"

Church Lady, "Well isn't that special"

Doug & Wendy Whiner

Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy...If a child asks you where rain comes from, tell them it's God crying. If they ask why He's crying, tell them it's probably because of something they did.

Easter makes me thirsty..must be the ham!!

My Little Leprechauns

I love this movie

"We got tatoos...what does mine say? Dude What does mine say? Sweet

"You didn't have to go all eggroll at the drivethru

"That's not a Llama dude"

"And then, and then"

What a fun birthday

Today was great. Woke up early, worked out and got my hair done. I got some red streaks in it..what the heck I need a little change and some fun. I came home to a Harry Potter balloon, cake and a nice book from Mike. Then we all piled in the van and headed downtown. We parked at the Space Needle/Seattle Center and had lunch. Then the kids rode some of the rides and had so much fun. We took the monorail down to Westlake and walked to Pike's Place Market. We watched them throw the fish, made our way through the vendors in the market and bought Dungenous Crab, asparagus and a beautiful boquet of flowers. I thought it would be a slow day at the market but it was packed like it is in the summer time...it was nuts. I guess there was a big St Pat's Day parade in the morning so tons of people were downtown. We came home and relaxed for a while and then Mike made crab omlettes and asparagus for dinner-so good. We are now watching a movie and I am getting very tired. Tomorrow we are having bruch with Shana,Delano and the babies and then taking everyone to the children's museum.

Target

Do you know how much $ I spend at Target. I swear between household cleaning items, toilet paper, paper towels and bathroom items I spend a small fortune. If I had a lot of money I would buy more stuff as they have great decorative accessories...I could remodel all the bedroom and bathrooms.

Tonight the girls and I went to McDonalds for ice cream and we sat in the parking lot eating it in the car and listening to 80's music. Mike and I are hoping to get some sleep tonight. Rachel comes in our bed 2 to 3 times a night and we have to take her back. I think she just sleep walks right in then makes herself at home. We don't get ANY sleep

Miracle Bugs

Lindsey is actually doing her Science Project this quarter which really blows my mind but she is failing so she has to unless she does not want to receive a 38% for her final grade. So anyway, she googled science projects and proceeded to copy everything word for word and managed to get all of the data portion past her teacher. The project is on habits of bugs and she copied the graph on the internet (with six types of bugs) directly to her notebook. So, she goes outside Sunday with a shovel and is gone all of five minutes. She then showed me all of her data. Does she really think I am that stupid to not know that she copied all of it from the internet. Well I looked at it anyway and reminded her that she would need to keep daily data on this. Then I noticed her observations of bees. Mind you that in the state of Washington on March 9th we have enormous amounts of bees-NOT. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY DAMN BEES RIGHT NOW!!! I was pissed about this and then yesterday I told her she had better get moving on more data. She spent 2 minutes outside and came in to report everything was the same except the ant hills had changed a little. WE HAVE NO F*&^%$ING ant hills either. She claimed there were a lot of them in the front yard grass. I told her to get her butt outside and bring me an ant. She went out there and then came in and stared at me.
My response to Lindsey. "Quit lying to me about your homework, starting doing what you are supposed to do and if you don't start this project over with correct information then I will be calling your teacher tomorrow and tell her that you are lying"
She started a new project on worms...we have worms

Today

I want to fly away to a land far far away for a month. I will be able to suntan with no worry of skin cancer, I will eat anything I want and lose weight after I eat it. I may drink tons of cocktails and never get a hangover. I will smoke cigars and sip on brandy while someone paints my toenails. I will never have a stomach ache & nobody will ask me to do anything for them. People will only be doing things for me. Massages every morning and night and afternoon naps with lavender eye patches and the sound of waves crashing on the ocean. I will have long bubble baths with chocolate covered strawberries and the best tasting fresh fruit I've ever had. I will look amazing in the most beautiful sundresses and dance the night away with whoever may come by.

Shit I have to get back to work!!!

Movies

Well I just watched the movie Gone Baby Gone and I won't ruin it for any of you that haven't seen it but I will say that I would have made the opposite decision at the end of the movie. I really liked it though. Last weekend we watched Michael Clayton and American Gangster..liked them both.

Some of my movie favs are:

Breakfast Club
Better off Dead
Die Hard movies
Indiana Jones
Harry Potter
All of Morgan Freeman's movies and especially The Shawshank Redemption
Disney/Pixar animated movies

AI Girls Night

Sorry but I just really like the guys. If I had to pick the girls my top three would be:

Brooke-she is real, down to earth and not full of herself
Amanda-she doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks and I like that
Carly-I like her voice but I don't think she should be on the show with her past experience etc.

American Idol recap

I really thought the guys did great tonight. David Cook's version of Hello was awesome. I also loved Michael John's song as I have always loved that song and The Breakfast Club. David Archuleta is still one of my favs. Not a big fan of Mr. Dreadlock but I thought he did a good job as well. Chickeze is just a loveable guy and I want him to make it into the top 12. Luke and purple haired dipshit need to go home.

Butlers and Maids

Who was the maid on the Jefferson's?

Who was the maid on the Jetsons's

Who was the butler on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

Who was the maid on Different Strokes?

Who was the maid/caregiver on Fraiser?

Thoughts

This morning I had set my alarm to go to the gym. I do that on Saturday because everyone is sleeping and I can just go alone and enjoy myself. Usually when I come home they are all still asleep and then I have quiet time(not much) in the house which is so nice. Well this morning my little Boo was already up and as I was getting dressed she asked if she could come with me. I didn't respond and my first instinct was no because she'd have to get dressed and then I would have to pay for daycare while I worked out. However, I stepped back and thought yes, you can come with me. She loves to come anywhere with me and always has fun. I know these times won't last forever as one day she will want nothing more but to be with her friends and not her silly mother. So, as much as I love my alone time I love being with her more because she lights up my life and takes the troubles away.
