Vacay.. Day 2....

Nothing too special today.. Ok, does going to Sam's Club and Petsmart count?? I had an interview this afternoon, so that sort of cut into fun time.. the interview went well.. I think.. but as the Doctor said.. it's his ballgame.. he had aver 50 resumes sent to him. I thought it was good that I even got the interview.. It is only part time.. but that might work well.. we will have to wait and see at this point.


In other "news"... I got this from my Mom.. thought I would pass it on
Word for Women to Live By....
1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons in 2009 - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.

12. Remember where ever there is a good looking; sweet, single or married man there is some woman tired of his bullshit!

13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.

14. If it has Tires or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.

15. By the time a women realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

'Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there' 'Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today'. Now smile and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from life, that might need a reason to smile!

Vacation Day 1....

So today we went to the Science Museum on Minnesota to see the Titanic exhibit. All 3 of us LOVED it. WOW... I mean how they could find rings or buttons and bring them up from the bottom of the ocean... or unbroken plates and bottles.. We were given a boarding pass before we went into the exhibit. When we got to the end of the exhibit, you got to look at the list to find out if you "made" it or not.. Hannah made it.. She was some 23 year old lady who was enjoying a trip to celebrate her divorce, and was traveling 1st class.. (which by the way, a ticket would cost about $78,000 in today's money...)Pat did not make it.. he was a 22 year old male, traveling 2nd class.. Me? well, I was a 40 year old from Minnesota, coming back from visiting her parents with her brother, traveling 3rd class.. I did not make it either..
We also went to the Omni show after... All, very good.
Have no idea what we will be doing for the rest of the week.. hm...
thanks for stopping by..

stuff the ticks me off...

Well today was a banner day!! I found out that my dental office is cutting me 1 day a week.. for how long?? no one knows.. WHATEVER!!! HELLO.. you might have wanted to TELL me this.. not me finding out because I was looking ahead at my schedule!! Dentists!!!
Then other stuff that just pisses me off... I had to buy Hannah new pointe shoes.. not that this is bad.. but you know what? when you buy these things... those pretty ribbons that they tie them on with?? well.. you have to sew them on yourself... yup... you read that right... you pay any where from $50-80 a pair and THEN you have to sew on the ribbons!! WTF?? I mean.. come on.. you are told how to sew them on.. everyone sews them the same way.. so why do I get to sew them on??? and then... get this.. Hannah will take these beautiful shoes and break the shank in the sole.. yup.. crack city.. AND.. if I am lucky.. they will last her for a year... IF I am lucky....
And then there is Facebook.. and how Mafia Wars keeps freezing up on me.. and how slow it runs..
Then there is Kohls store.. don't even go there with me.. Just don't even want to go there... let's just say... I HATE the store and the employees... yup.. that is the best... (my blood pressure may be coming down at some point)
AND.. we are lucky enough to be on vacation next week.. we aren't doing anything special.. hanging around here.. which is fine with me.. I actually like that.. but still..
Sorry.. I needed to vent...

Summer... What am I going to do with Hannah???

Well.. I am sure that there are others out there who will have the same problem.. What do you do with a pre-teen kid..??.. well.. Hannah wants to stay at home. I am ok with that.. our neighbors are kind enough to let her swim in their pool.. she has a bike and can ride it to the city pool.. she has a ton of friends.. but the mom in me,... well a bit on the OMG side of things.. My little baby is growing up! There are enough stay at home moms around that she will be fine.. there are enough new friends around that she can hang with.. so I am ok.. (I am not sure who I am trying to convince here)...
Then there is dance.. YUP.. dance.. 9 hours a week of classes.. she is taking everything this summer including Hip Hop.. Had to go and get new pointe shoes today so that she will have them broke in by fall.. I am sure that she will have some sore toes this month... of course mom has to sew the ribbons on.. One would think with the cost of pointe shoes, ribbons would be sewn on already!!!
She is excited because this means that she gets to retire her 1st pair.. which means that she will have them hanging in her room...
Hey maybe she will actually clean the house for me.?.!

My Show is Back....

I don't HAVE to watch much TV, but this is the one show I do not miss...
