Hahahahahaha

I saw this over a year ago and it still makes me laugh like crazy when I think of it...

There is a town, north of us, called Kokomo. One day, we were out riding - north - and going through the town of Kokomo, I saw a little motel called The Koko Motel. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That ranks right up there with high school mascot at Frankfort High School ~ yep, it's a walking hot dog! I love creative people but sometimes it's the simplest idea that sticks with you :-)

dirty stinky pigs!

You know the media is practically orgasmic with the possibility of a swine flu PANDEMIC!!! How many people have died of the 'regular' flu this year? I'll bet it's more than a couple hundred.

On a happier note, Mom and Bill and I went to see Riverdance over the weekend. It was pretty good. This is their last year touring so I'm glad I got to see them. I think I like Lord of the Dance better though. More drama, more passion, more power.

Next weekend we're going shopping for a travel trailer or small RV! It's exciting. We could all be hittin' the road jack! hahahahaha Mom says she might travel more if she had something like that. And I know Bill would love to do that kind of thing, but I'm NOT a camping kind of gal - so this could be a great compromise for us. Regardless, it's always fun to look at stuff like that.

I love trees.

Happy Arbor Day!

The oldest single living organisms known are bristlecone pines, though some plants such as creosote bush or aspen form clonal colonies that may be many times older. Recently, Swedish researchers discovered a self-cloning spruce in Dalarna that has been dated to just under 10,000 years old. The existing growth in clonal colonies sprang as shoots from older growth so there is an unbroken chain of life that sometimes dates back several tens of thousands of years. However, the original ancient growth in these colonies is long dead. The oldest bristlecone pines are single plants that have been alive for a little less than 5,000 years.

The oldest (acknowledged) living organism known is a bristlecone pine tree nicknamed "Methuselah" (after Methuselah, the longest-lived person in the Bible). Methuselah is located in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of eastern California, however its precise location is undisclosed by the U.S. Forest Service to protect the tree from vandalism. The age of Methuselah was measured by core samples in 1957 to be 4,789 years old.
In the Snake Range of eastern Nevada, a student of the University of North Carolina, was taking core samples of bristlecones in 1964. He discovered that "Prometheus" in a cirque below Wheeler Peak was over 4,000 years old. 4,844 rings were counted on a cross-section of the tree, making "Prometheus" at least 4,844 years old, the oldest non-clonal living thing known to man.

This is a Bristlecone Pine. Definitely NOT a very pretty tree, but the above article was kind of interesting.

Happy "You're the BEST helper chick ever" day!

Five cannibals are hired as engineers in a telecommunications company. During the welcoming ceremony the boss says, "You're all part of our team now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat. So please don't trouble any of the other employees. " The cannibals promised. Four weeks later the boss returns and says, "You're all working very hard, and I'm very satisfied with all of you. However, one of our Administrative Assistants has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?" The cannibals all shake their heads no. After the boss has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others, "Which of you idiots ate the Administrative Assistant?" A hand rises hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals' replies, "You fool! For four weeks we've been eating Team Leaders, Supervisors and Project Managers and no one noticed anything, and YOU have to go and eat an Admin. Assistant!"

Did you know...

Dogs can smell cancer and low blood sugar. The Pine Street Foundation, a cancer-education and research center in San Anselmo, Calif., published a study showing it was possible to train dogs to identify, based on breath samples, which patients had lung and breast cancer. Now the organization is recruiting ovarian cancer patients and dogs for a new study. In diabetics, the presence of ketones—substances made by the body during the metabolic process—can be smelled in urine and on the breath when blood sugars are high. Dogs can pick up on other smells that humans can’t when glucose levels drop.

Pepper

Mom got us this plate;

It looks just like our little rascal, Pepper!!! Well, when she's groomed and pretty. Not so much right now. Right now she looks like a giant dust bunny.

Anyway, it's pretty cute :-) I like all the Schnauzer things I can find when they have floppy ears.

What a great day!

Did you know that the Race for the Cure in Indianapolis is the biggest in the country? 40,000 plus participants! It was an AWESOME day! The weather was perfect.

I AM SO PROUD OF MY MOM ~ SHE IS THE BRAVEST PERSON I KNOW!

more dumb stuff

here are some more wacky email addresses I saw today;

HotAndSassy@... so you'll be the office slut?
DrOfLove@... oh, and you'll be the office pimp!
ImOnlyPretending@... then I'm going to pretend I didn't get your resume
PopeyeWasGay@... you probably are too, not that that's a bad thing
EmployJerry@.... now see, I would hire this guy!
Any address with the word psycho in it…
WickedLil666@... I get it, wicked little devil - nope not gonna hire you either!

Let me just reiterate ~ except for Jerry, you all need to set up a more professional email address for yourself, to put on your resume. My tax dollars are paying your bills. At least you could pretend to be serious about finding a job!

uh oh

I haven't done our taxes yet! Guess I better sign up with Turbo Tax this year!

Were does the time go?

It's a busy month for us too. Last weekend was Easter and installing the new sliding glass doors, next weekend is Race for the Cure and the weekend after that is River Dance. And it's almost time for the dogs annual check ups.

tic toc tic toc...

For the birds?

Oh, there's my helmet.

But what's that twig sticking out of it?

What the heck?!?!?!

yeah, probably be getting a new helmet this year!

Random thoughts...

You know, that sunglasses thing in California? The reason I know that is because my niece got her first traffic violation for wearing sunglasses that were too big. She was SO upset! I would be too.

You know who else turns 50 this year? Fisher Price!!!

And here is my all time favorite Easter cartoon...



And the last random item...if you are job hunting, you should probably set up a different email addy for yourself, other than your personal one if it's anything like this;

FatAssSissy@....
IFoundLoveOnABusInMilwaukee@...
JaberJaws@...
WhosYourDaddy@...
HotForYou@...
OneHotMamma@...
PartyAnimal@...
KickAss@...
Come on now, I wouldn't hire you if I saw that on your resume! No wonder there are so many out of work folks.

WARNING! Not for the squeemish.

Don't look Angie!!!!

Yes, I can cook

Nobody would have ever guessed that I would grow up to love cooking! Now that there are no kids in the house and the hubby will eat anything, I really love cooking.

Tonight, Italian sausage, green, yellow and orange peppers and red onions all sauteed and mixed with fire roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce and some spices, poured over pene. Mmmmmm

And right around the corner is Easter! Which means homemade chicken enchiladas!!!

I am grateful...

Today I am grateful that my man didn't fall through the sliding glass door when he dropped it. That would have been messy! I'm also grateful for all the OT he worked so we can pay for the new sliding glass door. And I'm grateful that it missed ME and the dogs when it fell into the family room!!! Today, my man is grateful for a loving, forgiving, understanding wife on Prozac who didn't loose her cool and a great sale at Menard's!!

(Right about now, you know I'm feeling an urge to spend some $$ irresponsibly!!)

I'm also grateful for 4 seasons but I've had enough of winter weather now. I mean really, It's April 6th for heavens sake and it snowed all morning. What the heck!

I love a good pun!

And todays blog at cake wrecks is HILARIOUS!!

I am only one, but I am one...

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.
Edward Everett Hale

I am just one person - one person who is doing something to make a big difference. You may be thinking that you are only one person but you too can do something! Every little “something” will help save a life. Make a donation to support a friend, family member or your favorite Race participant. We are urging all participants to join our 10 for $10 campaign and encourage 10 friends to donate $10 - together they will raise $100. If each of the 44,000 Race participants raised $100, we would have $4.4 million - enough to ensure that every low income woman in our service area has access to the screening they need to detect breast cancer in its earliest stage. You can help a Race participant reach his or her goal!

You are one and while you may not be able to do everything, together we can do something. Together we can walk or run for a cure. Together we can raise more money to find a cure. Together we can make this year’s Race (4/18/09) our best ever! Together we can end breast cancer forever!

Mom and Bill and I will be walking this year. Support your local center for breast cancer awareness and treatment. You can do something to help a save a life. My Mom is living proof!!!

Oh Vince!

I'm SO disapointed!

MARCH 27--Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit, notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face.

My new tattoo!

Pretty cool huh? You can barely see my scar or the bumps from the screws!
