Memorial Day

Hope it is happy! I am having a wonderful day just goofing off. I slept til 7:30 a.m (late for me) and then stayed in bed and watched the DVR of What Not To Wear. What a great way to start the day. It doesn't take much to excite me. Peace.

That's entertainment?

An essay on the Warner Bros. film Music and Lyrics

I stayed up late to watch a movie Friday night...Music and Lyrics with Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. It was definitely a chick flick. I wasn't sure if I should be insulted or entertained. Hugh Grant was hardly acting in the film. His script consisted of pithy one-liners that made him look totally endearing and portrayed him as such a nice guy. And his dancing in the pop video....so bad!!! And then there's Drew Barrymore. She was the same character she's been in every movie she's ever done...except Poltergeist. Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed, all the same person/character. I was insulted during the high school reunion scene when all the women who LOVED the 80s were drooling over Hugh's pathetic hip thrusts. I was insulted because the movie is making fun of those of us who drooled over George Michael and Corey Hart so many years ago. I suppose I need to lighten up, huh!?!

I have a confession to make. I really liked the movie. I admit the acting was so-so, the script was pretty lame and the story was predictable and sappy. But I liked it. I was in the mood for some no-brain activity. THIS HIT THE MARK! Next time you just wanna chill and relive your high school years without sitting through "Pretty in Pink," watch this one.

I lost my sausage

I cracked up this week as I was walking the 1/2 mile path to my building from the parking lot clutching a too-small ziploc bag with an eight-inch red link polish sausage inside. The sausage slipped out of the bag without me knowing so when I got to my office, I noticed the empty ziploc bag. I began to chuckle and backpeddled to the door...just to make sure I hadn't lost it in the building. No such luck. I began laughing my head off at the thought of someone seeing a BIG RED LINK SAUSAGE laying on the sidewalk.

As luck would have it, my fellow coworkers come in about twenty minutes after me. They were getting out of the car when someone said, "It's gonna be a bad day for the person who lost his sausage."

Weird, huh!?! Someone kicked the sausage into the grass. I thought some animal would eat it but it still lays there. It has lost its color. It's brown and shriveled now.

We have a new baby!!!

Look at this guy! Isn't he adorable!?! He was born on Mother's day weekend. He doesn't have a name yet. Any suggestions?

Adam West likes to eat food grilled in foil...

I love Sunday evenings at home. Remember that Seinfeld where Elaine was trying to get home to watch "60 minutes" but she couldn't because of a parade in New York? I remember how upset she was...I get that way, too. I like to be home on Sundays.

Happy Mother's Day!!

My wonderful children and husband bought me an IPOD for mom's day. My first experience with an MP3 player. Welcome to the 21st century...huh?!?

My quote above was from tonight's episode of The Family Guy. Lois Griffin runs for Mayor. Jimmy Smits campaigned for the incumbent (Adam West) and attempted to get the hispanic vote...His one quote: Adam West likes to eat food grilled in foil. It was very funny. That show is absolutely trashy and crude but I think it is hilarious and I try not to miss it.

My five favorite songs on my IPOD: (this week anyway)

Baby got Back...Sir-Mix-Alot
Couldn't Stand the Weather...Stevie Ray Vaughn
She's a Beauty...the Tubes
Missing You...John Waite
The Road Goes on Forever...Robert Earl Keen

Do we have a new hobby?$?$

I took time to upload some photos of the hor$e $how this weekend. My 14-year old has aspirations of becoming the next Matthew Quigley...or someone just like him. So we've been taking him to horse clinics and hor$e $how$. It was his first $how this weekend and he placed in all of his classes (one sixth place and two sevenths). The amazing thing is that he makes it look so easy.

Guest what our spare time and $pare money will be spent on?

I'm at home in bed today with a horrible ear/nose/throat thing going on. Watching "Pretty in Pink" on MTV while I post to the blog. Isn't life grand?

I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow.
