Three

 I apologize at my seemingly long pause from blogging. I've been writing to most of you on a regular email basis and haven't felt the need to post. However, today  something worth discussing with the public occurred. The death dice rolld a six.

You know how the cliche saying goes, "Bad things come in threes."

1. David Carradine died

2. Ed Mcmahon died

3. Farah Facett died

 

Three. Good. No wait. Here we go again.

1. Michael Jackson died (damnit... he always was famous for stirring stuff up. Now the death cycle begins again.)

2. Billy Mays died. (WTF, NO WAY??!??)

and number three?

I waited for it. I checked the news in half hour intervals. It was coming, sneaking up on me..... Then it happened.  My precious darling died.....

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. I lost my beloved  Xbox 360.  The saddest pat was, I was right in the middle of watching my latest present to myself, "The Office Season 4."

Will Jim ever  propose to Pam? Not till I get off my butt and find a real DVD player.  This chanin of events really has my feeling down.(I'm refering 95% to my Xbox, 4.5% to Billy Mays and .5% to Jacko. )

 Meanwhile, work is going well.  Derek's schooling is going fantastically. It's funny, back in highschool he was one of the worst students I knew. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have passed English or Government. Yet somehow, he's making A's in his classes.   College is good for the boy's brain.

Hmmm....  I remember mom telling me  when I was a girl  that a boys' brain was in his pants.  I wonder if that makes studying awkward?

 

For family who already has the website, there's new pictures posted on the Photobucket site. If you need that site again, email me.

Have you ever wondered?

If you fart before stepping off an elevator, does anybody smell it?
Yes. Yes we do. When you think nobody will know, they will inevitably  take the elevator after you get off, come up to the same floor you got off on and watch your smelly ass struggling with your luggage down the hallway.
STOP FARTING ON ELEVATORS.


While in conversation with my mother and grandmother the other day, I came across a startling realization:
Every time I pee on one of those little pregnancy sticks, I find out I'm pregnant. So THAT'S what's been causing it! And all these years, mom's been telling me that boys get you pregnant. Boy was she full of it....

Derek and I saw a minivan the other day that looked exactly like ours. Derek and I tried to tell ourselves we were cooler because we have XBox hookups and a DVD player, but the cold hard truth is- no matter how many gadgets you  have on the INSIDE, you still look lame on the OUTSIDE when you're driving a minivan.

Today I was in a gas station in Dallas and walked into my very first unisex bathroom at a 7-11. I borrowed the key, opened the door and locked it behind me. There were several stalls, some marked "Men" and some marked "Women." All of them were full of poop.(equal opportunity for all!) There were gang markings and toilet paper and urine everywhere. If all men's bathrooms are like that, then ya'll are disgusting.


I'm in Ft Worth on a training  trip. It's only my first day and I've already taken three and a half pages of notes. (my head is slightly achey.)
I hope you're all doing all right.  Sorry I've been so lousy at emailing for the last few days, I've been preparing and traveling this week.

New and Improved!

Last weekend, I turned this:







Into this:

The Moonies came to help  us out and it turned out beautifully.

Derek starts school next week. The following weekend, I head to Dallas for a business trip. Daddy all by himself with three kids and school? I'm expecting to see large amounts of hair loss on his behalf when I return.

I got my own office at work and my own business cards! Hooray!
I was so darn excited and everyone was telling me how lame my excitement was. So I told my mom. She thinks I'm cool. She got excited for me. She put my card on her fridge. Shut up all yall.

2nd gayest town in Texas

Here's what happened in our little corner of heaven yesterday:
http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/2009/may/20/test/
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,520910,00.html
We made national news when our re-elected mayor skipped his swearing of oath into office because he was in Mexico. He decided to come out of the closet and told everyone he needed to be in Mexico trying to help his lover come into the states legally.
Ever smacked yourself on the forehead and asked "Why the HELL is this news???" And not just news... NATIONAL news.

One of the comments posted on the story (before they became flooded and took down the comments section) was that per capita San Angelo has the second highest gay population next to Austin. Our new city slogan is, "Welcome to San Angelo, Second gayest city in TX!"

So now San Angelo is associated with two things according to Fox News:

1. Gay Mayors who resign to be with their illegal lovers
2. FLDS ranch polygamy raid

They forget to mention we've also got the dirtiest lake water in the 50 states. Don't open your eyes underwater, you'll get an STD.

Ketchup.. Catsup... Catch up...

My hair was cut on Saturday for Locks of Love. I'd gotten several compliments from friends and coworkers. My favorite one of all was, "It doesn't look as hideous as I thought it would." Umm... That's... good?
 
This is the "before" shot, taken on Friday. (see "after shots" below) We went to an Awards Banquet for my work and got to get all fancied up.  I was so proud to have my beloved next to me so all of my coworkers could see the love of my life. Ha. My sweet trophy husband. 
On Sunday, aka Mother's Day, we took our first trip to the beach with the kids.  When I say beach, I mean the 30 feet of sand that stretches before the world's dirtiest lake.

Can  you see the bottom of that lake? Neither could we. Meanwhile, the kids looked adorable in their little floaties.


After the beach, we came home where Aidan, Caitlyn and Derek made my  cake.  Aidan helped me to put it  on.
 
See all that cake batter on him? How often does a recipe include, "First strip down to your skivvies. Then proceed with caution. Add two eggs. Wipe hands on mom. Rub spatula across face.  Add  vegetable oil.  Take fistful of chocolate and apply liberally to hair. Bake at 350."

I guess that's the kind of directions you'd expect from an offbrand cake.

This weekend: Eryn's scheduled to get her ears pierced  and shed that monkey-like facial quality she has. (See, derek doesn't think she looks like him. He's so wrong.)

Derek's starting school in two weeks and one of my fantastic sisters is going to be watching the kids while he's in class. It's so great to see him getting so excited about school. Eight years ago, I could barely wake him during English. Now he's raring to go. I swear  he'd better pay closer attention this time.  Classes are TOO COSTLY to nap through.

Saturday is Caity's birthday. We'll hopefully be taking her to Fiesta Del Concho  (A party for kids along the river, put on by local businesses) and then her birthday party will be Sunday afternoon. (it's scheduled to rain. Fan-friggin-tastic.)

Work is going fantastically and I'm still loving every minute of it.
More pictures to come and God bless you all.
