Shall we play a game?**.....

Ok so ya'll know that I like playing games. I am good at them. Well, most of them. They can be fun right? But then there are the ones that aren't so fun, you know the "games" between people. I don't understand that. Why is it so hard for people to be upfront with expectations? Why is it that people start out one way and then change mid stream?

Let's take yesterday for example . I had several in person meetings yesterday (I can't go into too much detail at this point openly but if you wanna know just email me). The first one, I could read the guy like a book. Up front. Seemed to be honest. No games. The second one, seemed to be holding something back. I am usually pretty good at getting to the information or at least figuring pieces of it out (I do talk to people for a living). He was guarded. My Cheeky senses were tingling....I didn't trust him. The third one, very up front again. Now, all of these meetings were related so why would the middle guy play games?

Its the same way in relationships I suppose. Friends are great then change for no reason. Sometimes you see it coming sometimes you don't. It is when you don't that you get burned.

OK so I just read this and it sounds like I am in a "mood". Actually, I am not. I just sorta got to thinking that's all (scary isn't?). OK ok I AM in a mood - you caught me...but its a good one. Why? I am going to hang out with my girl Katie and to meet The Mutt Princess for the first time. There will be food, drinks, and I am sure lots of laughing. If you are lucky....you might just the get "the call" or in your case Fab..."the text". If TMP is lucky she will get to hear me sing....(or maybe that is unlucky....we will have to see).

**Now super duper bonus points if you know the movie I got the title of my post from....EVEN BIGGER bonus points if you know what WOPR stands for.

Cheeky who is singing....Ohhh I dunno - a litte Alan Parsons Project maybe.....

Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives if there's noone to lend us a hand

I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up
And how do we spend our lives knowin' nobody gives us a damn

I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away

Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Just don't make it right
If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

I am OFFENDED!

I can't go into details because quite frankly I don't have them AND I don't discuss my work outside of generalities. While the logical and reasonable side of my brain (yes, I have one so just shut it....mmmkay?) "might" (and that's a stretch) understand the reasoning.....it doesn't make me any less offended.

See, I told ya it wouldn't take long

Blisters!!! I prepped. I taped. I took it easy. But Nooooooooo got blisters ANYWAY! OK so you are saying (in that nasally know it all voice) "well you probably don't have properly fitting shoes"...Ummm YES I DO. This happens to me regardless of the brand, style, or fit of shoe. Try to be good, and your body rebels....dangit!!!

In other news, as mentioned yesterday, the birthday month is fast approaching (yeah, the older you get the longer you get to celebrate so just shut it mmmmkay?). I haven't decided what all I should do to celebrate.....got any ideas?

The kids have completely adjusted to summer vacation and have turned their sleeping schedules upside down. Man child didn't wake up until after noon yesterday. I will eventually start getting them back on track at some point.

Not much going on around here. I am ready for Friday so I can go hang out with Katie and the Mutt Princess...wooohoooo! So until then I think I need a little something to get me through the day.....perhaps a little Mike and the Mechanics???

Cheeky who is singing.....

I said go if you wanna go
Stay if you wanna stay
I didn't care if you hung around me
I didn't care if you went away
And I know you were never right
I'll admit I was never wrong
I could never make up my mind
I made it up as I went along
And, though I treated you like a child
I'm gonna miss you for the rest of my life

All I need is a miracle
All I need is you
All I need is a miracle
All I need is you
All I need is a miracle
All I need is you

I never had any time
And I never had any call
But I went out of my way just to hurt you
The one I shouldn't hurt at all
I thought I was being cool
Yeah, I thought I was being strong
But it's always the same old story
You never know what you've got 'til it's gone
If I ever catch up with you
I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle
All I need is you
All I need is a miracle
All I need is you
All I need is a miracle
All I need is you


And, if I ever catch up with you
I'm gonna love you for the rest of your life

All I need is a miracle
All I need is you
All I need is a miracle
All I need is you
All I need is a miracle
All I need is you

Just a few Random Things

OK so FINALLY I got my stuff to work. Here is the lady getting down with her bad self (Katie has a better one on her blog). This lady was having all kinds of fun - good for her!


Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos

OH and the "gay cowboys" yeah - here they are...





Soooo I am back to being good and trying to exercise more. You know I get into the torture phases every now and then. I will be whining about blisters before you know it.

My birthday is coming up soon so if you haven't gotten your shopping done, this weekend would be a good time - just sayin......

That's it - that's all I got for today....

Cheeky who is singing a little....OH I dunno - Huey Lewis and the News.....

The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go'round

And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

Weekend Update (and yeah we laughed till our cheeks ached)

So, Saturday morning started pretty normal. I ran errands, Mr. Cheeky ran errands then we just did a few things around the house. Ahhhh but it was Saturday evening where we just started laughing and couldn't stop.

I met this girl at Rockin Rogers to see The Killer Hayseeds (they weren't half bad ya'll). Thank goodness we are perfect because we were raggin on everybody there. No one was safe. When the music started this one lady decided she needed to start off the dancing. OH poor thing but she was having fun (Katie has the video on that one). A little later, she was joined by this one in the white shirt and khaki skirt.....the video speaks for itself. Which I would show you but it is not cooperating right now - check back and maybe I can get it working in a bit.

A few beers and a thousand laughs later, Mr. Cheeky arrives and quickly becomes (as Katie has now dubbed him) our Cabana Boy. W (a lady that works with Mr. Cheeky er Cabana Boy) also joined us. We sat there laughing and joking and then W is getting the eye from young thing that thinks he is all that. I turned around and told Katie "W is getting the Look" - well I was right a few minutes later here he comes with some lame reason to ask W a question. It was all Katie and I could do to keep from busting out laughing.

There was this one dude there that I am sure had some identity issues because he thought he was all that in his army green tank top (which Katie says would look better on her). He was strutting his stuff - toooo funny! Then here he comes, the man with the meat on a stick - we had to get our picture made with that one and Katie did. Dude was so proud - look at his grin!



We also drunk dialed and texted Patti, sorry hon we had to do it. We just wished you were with us.

During the third set we hit the dance floor. About 3 people spilled their beer on me...on my butt to be more specific....in the same spot so once it dried the someone else had to do it. Grrrrr.... AND AND to top it all off, some fool stole my glow-in-the-dark headband right off my head (for others its a necklace, I am a child of the eighties so for me its a headband - you know kinda like Olivia Newton John in the Physical video). Yeah kinda makes you mad doesn't it? Well, I found on one the ground later (no, it wasn't mine, mine was multicolored this was all green) and I took it - dangit! So after the show we were toast (tired not drunk) and ready to head home. On the way out of the show we ran into this guy and had to take a picture of his necklace - speaks for itself.




So out to the parking lot a dude said he would give me a donut for my headband - I said NOPE not gonna do it - but he gave me a donut anyway. Katie hopped in the Cheeky mobile and off to Chez Cheeky we went. She needs a plaque or certificate or something for being the first blogger to stay at Chez Cheeky. I thought about playing some guitar hero or something but it was 1:30am and we had been out since 6:30 and I was tired (yeah, I know I am getting old so just shut it mmmmkay?).

Up late Sunday morning and Mr. Cheeky made us breakfast and then put up the new ceiling fan in my office. We sat and giggled about the previous night and then I took her back to her car. By the time I got back, Mr. Cheeky was back in the bed (well, so much for shopping at Albertville) but that was OK cause I was still tired and I joined him and the man child and off to snooozeville we went. The rest of the day was lazy until we had man child's soccer Jamboree. It was a great time and it means soccer is officially OVER - woohooo!

Made it an early night and was asleep before 9pm.

So that is what happened here - anything good happen where you are?

Cheeky who is singing (and yeah Katie heard me sing ya'll).....

Lazy yellow moon comin up tonite,
Shinin thru the trees,
Crickets are singin and lightning bugs
Are floatin on the breeze
Baby get ready.....

Across the field where the creek turns back by the ole stump road
Im gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready.....ooooooooooo

You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
Well be fallin in love in the middle of the night
Just movin slow...

Stayin the whole night thru, feels so good to be with you...

Spring is almost over and the summers come
And the days are gettin long
Waited all winter for the time to be right, just to take you along
Baby get ready.....

And it dont matter if we sit forever and the fish dont bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready.....ooooooooooo.

You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
Well be fallin in love in the middle of the night
Just movin slow...

Lemme give you a few PSA's mmmkay?

#1 Ok I know that we all think that we are superheroes - I mean I KNOW I am Wonder Woman personified but....do you see me riding down the street on my crotch rocket dressed out in a cape, shoulder pads, spandex, all while flexing my muscles? No..... you don't but I swear I did see this dude today as I was heading to the post office to drop off some ebay packages. If I am lying, I am dying. Dude was playing with his cape and flexing his muscles as he went through the intersection. NO KIDDING! I sooooooo wish I had my camera.

#2 When I am at the "T" and I am in the yield part and I can only get say ummmm 3/4 of the way into the turn because the light turns red and the car in front me stops and the car behind me is on my butt and you come up on me from the left don't sit there on my butt and honk your horn like every 5 seconds. You see that I can't go forward, I can't go backward I am stuck but yet you still feel the need to sit there and blow your horn. OK so I turn around and wave and acknowledge that you are there and that I hear you, but Noooooooooo that ain't good enough for you...you keep on....so when I roll my window down and tell you off (as the man child sits there laughing his butt off for me yelling at you), just be happy that I was able to control my rage for the sake of my son, otherwise I was gonna put my beloved car in park and come and slap you for being stupid - see...I am in that part of my PMDD where I have fits of rage and my happy pills don't seem to be working today, the family was aware of this earlier as I was making dinner, they could feel the evil emanating from me and kept their distance, apparently you aren't that smart, next time you decide to do this I just might (to quote one of my favorite bloggers) just stab you in the neck with an ice pick - consider this your ONLY warning ....damn Minnesotans and their horns.....don't mess with a PMDD southern girl.....

Cheeky - who is feeling better today but please tread lightly or she will go off on you too.............

Yes, Yes, I am....I am

The Guitar Hero...LOL! Its no longer enough for me to just sing the songs, now I want the full package. Now those of you that have known me for a while (Kelly that would be you), you know that I used to play bass guitar in high school. I was awesome ya'll - yep rhythm for a white girl, that was me. I loved it. But alas, I took the responsible route and gave it up after graduating - well not anymore! The teenage daughter and the man child have been playing guitar hero at the neighbors for quite some time. I just refused to shell out the funds for yet ANOTHER game system. Saturday night, teenage daughter had the twins sleep over (they went camping with us over the holiday weekend) and they brought it. OMG.....first it started with Mr. Cheeky and the man child playing (the girls were at a party and not home yet). Then they got me to play - "awwww come on" they said. "Just one time"....well little did they know they unleashed the rocker within. At first I just sorta sat there playing and then before I knew it I was standing, not only was I standing but I unknowingly began tapping my foot, and before I knew it I was shakin the hips...oh yeah ya'll - it was a sight to behold. I was having a blast. I even wanted to keep playing long after everyone else was done.

Yeah, I think I might be buying this one - ummm for the kids of course....you know...music education....LOL!

In other news, the antibiotics have began working their magic and I am feeling much much better. Mr. Cheeky, the man child and I went to see Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer. Yep, I enjoyed this one. Not too drawn out at all. Just the right length for the story. And yes it was left open for another one too so that is cool. I kinda like these movies but you know me and my superheroes!

Ok....so I wrote the above on Saturday night getting all prepped for Monday. Wanna know what I did Sunday...Oh yeah baby - went out and got Guitar hero, Guitar hero II the wireless guitar and PlayStation 2! Spent some megga bucks so I can live out my rock and roll dreams in the comfort of my own home. And you wanna know what???? The rock gods are smiling on me because at the end of July they are coming out with a Guitar Hero 80's edition!!!!!! Oh yeah.....so come on over, lets get the blender going with some rita's and let me entertain you with my musical talent!!! Chez Cheeky is taking reservations now.... better hurry seats are selling out fast!

Cheeky - I thought of this song because I know my kids think I am weird.... A little Cheap Trick......

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a of a soldier's falling off.
Some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my KISS records out.

Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

The Verdict Is In...

It is not....I repeat NOT Mono!!! Wooohoo! Of course they aren't really sure what it is. The doc did the second blood test and it came back negative again for mono. She said my white blood cell count was really really elevated so she things that it may be a bacterial thing and gave me antibiotics. FINALLY! I got in two doses yesterday and woke up feeling tons better. I am still sore from being so achy but my throat doesn't hurt. I don't have a fever. Not ready to do the happy dance yet but getting pretty close!

So on Doc's orders I am to take it easy this weekend. Ummm ok, I think I can handle that....hehe.

I have had more strange afflictions and illnesses since moving here than I have had in the last 15 years. I am not traveliing anytime soon so that will be good and the next time I do I will make sure I am 100% and chock full of vitamins so I don't get sick.

OK now this is getting ridiculous

So I get home, in my own bed, in my own surroundings and start feeling better. Wednesday a little better, swelling is down temp is gone. Sleep good Wednesday night. Thursday, wow I really feel better. Good enough in fact that I think taking the kids to Valley Fair would be a good idea for Friday. Good enough that we considered even driving down to Indy for the race.

Friday AM ohhhh I dunno about 4AM and I wake up in major pain. My throat is very painful and swollen again and this time with a vengeance (before it came on slowly - not this time). My glands are not swollen yet - keyword being yet. The achiness is returning, I feel it so I suspect the fevers will start again soon. Ummmm I don't like this ya'll. It is NOT fun at all. The pain from my throat is also radiating into my ears so they hurt too (this happened earlier this week) OH and to top things off.....my sister called me yesterday to say "Thanks" for making her entire house sick with this crap. Is is mono? I don't know but I think I might be heading to the doc again today and asking for a blood test to find out for sure.

Cheeky - who put in her application for the gameshow and is waiting for her casting call (woohoo)....

Once again in the words of Florida Evans.....and tells of the blue moon**

Damn Damn Damn! I just want to know WHY! I traveled again last week and through the weekend and wanna guess what happened? Awwww come on you wanna guess, just take a shot.....YEP you guessed it - Sick! Sick! Sick! and we are not just talking a little sick, we are talking so sick that I had to find a clinic to go to on Sunday cause I was dying. I am not saying what they "think" I have just yet cause I am thinking good thoughts and I am in denial. But lets just say, if your throat is swollen really really bad, and your glands are so swollen that you look like a bullfrog, and your neck hurts to move, and you run a fever for days and the doc looks at you and says "oh honey you have strep but lets take this little swab just to be sure" then sends you home with a lidocaine wash that is thicker than pancake syrup and tells you to "gargle" it (yeah, try that once) but with nothing else.....cause it AIN'T STREP.....we have a problem. Wanna know what mimics strep and makes you completely exhausted but doesn't show up in a quick test for 7 days??? I bet you can guess and it ain't a happy thought!

I am home now back in MN(got in this afternoon), came straight home, got nekked (meaning I got my nightie shirt on), went into quarantine (ok - that means bed) and slept! I am exhausted. I am doing a little better. The glands have gone down considerably since Sunday. My throat is still sore and swollen but once again not nearly as bad. My neck is still really tender. The fever is not constant - only have one or two a day and is manageable with that Tylenol so I am not as achy. So am I getting better - yes. Am I still contagious - yes so no smoochin for me. BUT what does this mean....it means I am still exhausted, it means that my trip to Indy this weekend to watch the races with my German friends and hang out with Jenie is most likely a bust (don't want a 10hr car ride being sick and then go and spread my love - errr germs - around to my friends - that wouldn't be cool and we all know what a cool chick I am...LOL).

So what have I learned on this trip?

I have learned that I need to be in a face mask when I travel cause I am sick and tired of getting sick when I go somewhere (this is freakin ridiculous ya'll).

I have learned that when have a high temp, that putting on lots of clothes and wrapping in 5 blankets and curling up in the fetal position is about the only way you can even think about getting warm.

I have learned that hard liquor (specifically tequila) will numb up your throat pretty good so you can eat - definately works better than thicker than cold syrup lidocaine.

I have learned that if you wear glasses and jump in the pool - you might just break them and then have to spend ohhh about 2 hours looking for the lens at the bottom(heheh Pop that was for you).

**I have learned that there is more than one meaning for a "blue moon" - what is the second one you ask....that would be my Mom's left butt cheek. Totally blue (ok 3/4 blue but still) from her fight with the wrong end of a chair. Do I have a picture, nah, I told her I was gonna take one and put it on here when I felt good but didn't have my camera, my next opportunity was when I was sick and I just didn't want to move to do it.

I have learned that even though I got stood up (a lot! we are talking every stinkin' day) and my original plans for this weekend completely fell through that it sort of can be a blessing in disguise cause I ended being sick during this time and would have forced myself to go and would have paid dearly for it.

I learned other stuff too but I am tired now, I am gonna go lay back down.

Cheeky in honor of her Momma is singing....(yeah I might be sick as a dog but I still have my sense of humor)

Blue moon, you saw me standin' alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me sayin' a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Its hot....Its hot....

Dadburn its hot! 90 degrees under the trees - its hot! LOL

I am in NC hanging out with the rents at the moment and talking with the teenage daughter on the phone. The flight was uneventful. I have a piece of crap rental car, thank goodness I don't own one of these cars cause I certainly don't like it - BUT it does get me from one place to another so....can't complain tooooooo much - wait I am paying for it - yes I CAN complain LOL!

Had dinner with friends last night and had an absolute BLAST! Going to be hanging out with them more before my trip is over - WOOHOO!!

Not really sure what is on the agenda for tonight. Most likely will be going to dinner with Mom and Dad may join...not sure yet. Uncle Steve is coming down and they may be going to Mooresville (that would be Nascar USA to all ya'll non southerners). After dinner may meet some more frieds for a while. Just gonna play it by ear and see what happens.

Cheeky.......who, in her piece of crap rental car also has a piece of crap radio....grrrrrrrrrr!

Well that is it.

Weekend Update

Why is it, that when you have just a regular weekend where you wanna be lazy that it just flies by?

Friday the man child had a friend come home with him. We ordered pizza delivery instead of making it ourselves. I know I am slacker but it was the easier way to go. Then off to the movies we go. We went to see Shrek the Third and it was quite enjoyable. Not as witty as the first two but still worth seeing. We went by the store on the way home for some junk food and then back to the house. Now let me just tell ya.....I didn't hear a peep out of them. Really, I didn't. AND they were knocked out by 11:00! Teenage daughter had a friend over too. I guess next time maybe I need to invite a friend for a sleepover ..LOL!

Saturday. I woke up and make cinnamon rolls for the kids. But then something really odd happened. Remember I was talking about feeling ill the other week and it was making me be all domestic? Well, it must have been communicable because teenage daughter was really doing some work on Saturday.....and she volunteered! Yeah, I know probably wants something but she even washed and vacuumed out my car! I did a few things around the house but overall it was a lazy day. I took the kids out to dinner and we rented a few movies. We watched 2 of them and that was it for me. I was ready for bed.

Sunday. Sort of another lazy morning and then I dropped teenage daughter and her friends off to shop while I went and had lunch with this chick! Oh she is soooo funny and too cute even with those bangs (haha I only say that cause she was complaining about them earlier). We really must hang out more. See, isn't she cute?



Mr. Cheeky comes home today. He is one a plane as I type so it will be a busy afternoon for me. I hope he brings us something good from his trip...hehe.

Cheeky - who is feeling a little nostalgic and is gonna sing a little....Dr. Hook

Ha ha ha I don't believe it
Da, da, ah, ah don't touch it
Hey, Ray, Hey Sugar tell them who we are

Well, we're big rock singers
We got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten-thousand dollars a show (right)

We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone)
Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for my mother (yes)
(Stone.)
Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
(that's a very very good idea)

I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy
Who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor ole grey haired daddy
Drivin my limosine

Now it's all decided to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll gitcha when you get your picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone)
Wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah)
(Stone)
Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
(talking)
Hey, I know how
Rock and roll.....


Ah, that's beautiful

We got a lot of little teenage blue eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genu wine Indian Guru
Who's teaching us a better way

We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the rollin stone

(Rollin stone)
Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for my mother (wa wa)
(Stone)
Wanna see my smilin face
On the cover of the rollin stone
On the cover of the rollin

Stone)
Wanna see my picture on the cover
(talking)
I don't know why we ain't on the cover, Baby....
(Stone)
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
(talking)
We're beautiful subjects
(Stone)
Wanna see my smilin face
(talking)
I ain't kiddin, we would make a beautiful cover
On the cover of the rollin stone

Fresh shot, right up front, Man
I can see it now, we'll be up in the front
Smilin, Man
Ahh, beautiful

Friday, June 01, 2007

So, today is Friday....

And what does that mean? That means that I have to push even harder to work today. I have had a serious case of spring fever this week. I have had to force myself to focus and get things done when all I wanted to do was goof off. Maybe it was the 4 day work week that just sort of got things all off whack, I dunno. But I will do it. I will trudge along and try to focus. I really should because I do have quite a bit of time off coming up.

BUT this evening, the man child has a friend coming home with him to spend the night. I think we are going to make our own pizzas and then head out to see Shrek 3. The teenage daughter is invited. She will make the pizzas with us but I doubt that she will go to the movies. You know, when you are a teenager there is a gene that activates that says you can't spend toooooo much time with the family or you may spontaneously combust or something like that.

Not sure what we are going to do this weekend. Mr. Cheeky is still in Germany (oh and said watching Family Guy and South Park in German is sooo freakin weird) so we don't really have anything specifically planned but I am sure that we can find something to do. I was thinking about doing a "Pirates Marathon" and go rent Pirates of the Carribean one and two and then go see the third one Saturday or Sunday. OR, we could go shopping but I don't know if the man child will be happy about that. I think the weather is going to be nice so we could do something outside. I like that we have options. I like that we can do whatever, whenever we want. Its going to be nice since the next couple of weeks are going to be busy. Mr. Cheeky gets back early next week and then a day later I am flying out to Charlotte, NC for a little family and friends visit. Then I come back and then a day and half later we are driving down to Indy for the races where I will be bunking at Jenie's place - woohoo and hanging out with my German friends from Charleston at the race. We have tickets for all three days so I am sure we are going to be worn out!

Cheeky - who needs to sing a little something about persistance, a little something that will help me focus and get to work....a little Proclaimers perhaps???
