Wordless Wednesday - Tricks and Treat Day.........

Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone. Don't forget to watch your kids closely and check their bags before they eat them!!! Personally, I am hoping Missy scores a big mound of chocolate just for Mommy!

Some Bloggers Have It All

It's no secret, I LOVE to win things. It doesn't matter if it's money, jewelry, gift cards, a pat on the back, or a blogging award. I think I hold deep rooted issues from that frightful night at the 3rd grade carnival where I didn't wear the beautiful 4 foot unicorn. Yes, it's true. I lost it to the little girl with big blue eyes and blond curly hair. Of course she won, her parents bought 25 raffle tickets. Well guess what wanna be Cindy Brady? It's my time to shine.

Here is my award. I have none other to thank but the wonderful Ms.Chased by Children. Have you ever read her blog? She has to be one of the funniest woman I have ever met. Ask her someday about how her and her mom waiting for us at Abuelo's for over an hour! Still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Now, who will be the lucky women to have this passed on to........

drum roll please.........

And the winners are Mimi's Toes and Rip, Runnin, and Roarin.

• Mimi's Toes. Have you ever met her? It's a shame if you haven't. She's a Grandma that carries a Barbie lunch box to work. She's hilarious, she's got class, and her toes are beautiful.


• Rip, Runnin, and Roarin. This woman deserves it. She was in a Circus for crying out loud. How many of you can say that?!?!?!?!?

Me Vs. The Raging Hormone

I am exhausted. I've had my little brother for the last couple of days and I have him until next Sunday. The parents are on a cruise. Thanks guys for leaving me in the middle of the cold with a raging hormoned 13 year old boy that doesn't want to ever sleep........or do homework. And mom, seriously.........do you pick up after him ALL the time? Because he has to be the messiest thing I've ever seen.

Thank goodness for the Tiger this weekend. He bonded much better with Raging Hormone boy better than I did this weekend. Their bonding? Well, over computer games, Civil War books, football, and my home cooking of course!

A conversation the boy and I had this weekend.

Raging Hormone: Whatcha cooking sister?

Me: Pot Roast.

Raging Hormone: You can cook?

Me: Um, yeah. How do you think my family gets fed?

Raging Hormone: Just figured you had pizza delivery on speed dial or something.

Me: Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Raging Hormone: Well mom said you never cooked when you lived with us.

Me: Maybe that's because I was 16 and didn't need to cook. She did!

Raging Hormone: So, this won't kill me right?

Me: Shut up and get some plates out.

By the way, the pot roast didn't kill him and he even complimented my eggs the next day :) Getting him to write his English paper was a whole seperate task. Mom, please come home soon and claim this alien from my house............please!

Christmas is Coming!

Two months from today we will be sitting around the tree drinking tea and hot cocoa, getting ready to see what Santa has left for us good boys and girls......one of my favorite holidays (My first favorite holiday is 4th of July in case you were interested!)

I'm halfway done with my Christmas shopping!!! How far along are you!?!?!?!?!

My question for the day.........what is your favorite holiday????

Wordless Wednesday - Making Blueberry Muffins

A meme!

Oh the girl who oddly believes she has crooked eyebrows has tagged me with a meme! What she doesn't know, is that her eyebrows are perfect and I long to rip them off her head and put them on my face. Wow, I'm not pyscho. I promise.

So here it goes ladies. 5 interesting things about me!!

1. When I was a toddler, I used to eat worms and scabs. I used to go in the back yard at my baby sitter's house and dig up her garden so that I could find worms. The scab thing? I don't know. I was clumsy and fell a lot. Yes, I ate the scabs. Therefore, my knees and legs are nothing but scars, scars, scars because my cuts didn't heal properly. Still want to be my friend after reading #1?? Just be glad you weren't the people that raised me.

2. I am left handed and virtually retarded if I try and use my right hand for anything. It's like dead weight on me. I write crooked, I have problems doing my hair, and I can't even cut a straight line. I blame it all on being left handed.

3. I had to go to speech class as a child because I couldn't pronounce my R sounds or the -OOL sounds. After years of spech, I can say "The red rabbit ran away from rain" just fine. But listen closely when I say school, cool, fool, or pool. It's not normal. Missy and the Tiger make fun of me all the time. They always say, "She's coo-el for schoo-el" to me.

4. I am a closet Cowboys fan. Please don't ever tell the Tiger this one. Thank goodness he never pulls up my blog! He'd probably die of a heart attack if he knew secretly I was cheering for the Cowboys and not the Bears. I can't help it. I have Tony Romo and Terrel Owens fever. I'm predicting the Cowboys to win the Superbowl this year. You heard it here first. Remember that.

5. I have always wanted to go to Canada. Honestly, there is no particular reason for this but it's soemthing I've wanted to do for years and years. But I've been to Mexico and I feel that I should some day go north and see what our neighbors up there are like. And every time I hear the word Canada I always think of the South Park Movie when they say, "Canadaians are a bunch of flapheads." I don't know what the heck that means, but it cracks me up with all the south park people and their heads falling off. So yeah, someone send me to Canada please.

And there you have it.......my meme. It's amazing what you tell your blogging friends. I am wondering if I'll lose a few after the scab and worm comment. Hahahaahha. I'm all grown up now. I promise I only eat food!

HA! And now the tagging shall begin. Annie, Sheryl, and Tracy.......... I want to know 5 interesting things about you! Try and beat the scab thing. I dare you.

THE LETTER CAME!

THE LETTER CAME! THE LETTER CAME!

For those of you that don't have a clue what I am talking about........I got accepted into the Nursing Program for 2008! I've been on pins and needles for months now. Playing the waiting game is NOT fun.

Either way, all my prayers have been answered. Honestly, I deserve this! Does that sound conceited? I am not sure........but I have been busting my butt for two years to do everything right to get into the program. I've gotten the grades, I've passed my test........and I got in!

So I start in Jan 2008 and will end in Dec 2009. It's gonna be hard and I will probably hate every minute of trying to run a household and being in the program. But the outcome with be beautiful and I'll have a college degree!

Hey Donut, plan on me picking your health care brain a lot over the next couple of years!
