Its Video Week

So teenage daughter and I were sitting in the den this weekend and were looking at videos on youtube and she came up with the idea that I should have a video week. I think this is a mighty fine idea. I will of course have a "regular" post (yeah, I remember what those are so just shut it I am trying to do better mmmmkay?) but then I am going to have a little video at the end for your enjoyment. It may be something funny or musical or just twisted....who knows and I have invited teenage daughter to guest post sometime this week.

BUT...before the video - let me give you a little weekend recap. Friday....I came home and took the manchild out on a date. We went for a pizza and a movie. The pizza was "eh" but the movie was "woohooo!" We went to see the Incredible Hulk and I LOVED IT! Much better than the first one and I loved the little cameo appearances and references through out. Reminded me of the days as a kid that I watched the TV show. Yes, if you haven't seen it you should. BUT you must see Iron Man first. See them in order people. That is all I can say.

Saturday was Soccer Jamboree time. The manchild had games at 8 and 10 and you know what....it was COLD....in late June.... almost JULY... I needed a sweatshirt. Yeah....ummm Al Gore needs a big ol pop in the mouth - global warming my big bootay! Just come up here - there is no global warming to be found. So the first game I was sitting there shivering because apparently I don't know how to look up the weather before I go anywhere....and was in shorts and a t-shirt (hey I thought it was gonna warm up). We are really close to the soccer fields (within walking distance from the house) so between games I came home and put on some clothes. I was still chilly though.

The rest of the afternoon I was just lazy. I was going to go out Saturday night but I am so tired these days. Physically...mentally...just exhausted. I need a vacation - oh wait! I am getting one soon Woot! So instead of going out I just went and got the fixins for some chicken nachos for me and the kids and just chilled on the sofa with an ice cold Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy.....Very Tasty!

Sunday - the big day. The new Guitar Hero! Woot!! So I got up early, had my coffee and did a quick "round" of the house (if you are new - doing a "round" means a quick clean) and then it was time to go out and purchase the latest and greatest. I played a song or two then teenage daughter took over. I then went downstairs to the....wait for it.....wait for it.....THE CRAFT ROOM!! Yes, I haven't been there in over a month but I had some mojo cookin and had to create. I had a good time doing it. Perhaps a few of you may be receiving my handy work in the mail this week. Unfortunately I am not sending out as many as I normally do....but if you don't get something this time you will get it later....I promise.

So....that's the weekend recap. And now....for your viewing enjoyment.....a little video...watch and sing along with me (uh huh uh huh)....turn it up loud now....

Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy

Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seís

You know its kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial

So don't debate a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh

And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lily ass

So don't debate a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabes
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

Now he's getting a tattoo yeah, he's getting ink done
He asked for a thirteen but they drew a thirty-one
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind he's the, he's the dopest trip

Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh

Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco seís

So don't debate a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
The world loves wannabes
Let's get some more wannabes
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

I wanna go to the beach......

What the Beach Test Says About You

You like people, but you're careful about who you get close to. Friendship is important to you... so important that you aren't just friends with anyone. You fall in love with ease and confidence. Even if you've had bad experiences in the past, each new love is a reason to start completely over. You are a passionate person. You are free wheeling, fun loving, and ruled by your emotions. Your sense of humor is goofy and silly. You are good at making almost anyone laugh.

I am going on a vacay!

So the question has been asked - where am I going on vacay. Well, you know me - its gotta be someplace fun. We are going HERE! Manchild says he will ride most of the rides.....I am not so sure....but I hope he does.

We will be driving (about 12 hours but we are going to split it over two days and make teenage daughter share in the driving). We are going to stop halfway which is around Chicago and chill for the night and the finish up the drive the next day. We are not in a hurry. We are going to take our time and enjoy the trip. On the way back we will most likely spend the night in down town Chicago and check things out there too.

We will be gone from July 6 through the 11th. I am ready to go now.

The HBIC - Sheeeees Baaaaaaaccccckkkk

Yep - I, the HBIC, am back and ready to take the reigns once again. My lieutenant has been doing a fabulous job while I was away but now its time to get back in the drivers seat.

There are lots of updates:

*One week from today I will be entering retirement part duex. Its cool. I am actually kind of happy about it.

*For the first time since .....well I can't remember, we are taking a family vacation where we are NOT going to visit family. A REAL vacation.

*Teenage daughter is now down to one job for a while. Its kind of nice. I think she is going to like it.

*Both manchild and teenage daughter have managed in less than 3 weeks of being out of school to turn their schedules into a song......"UP all night....sleep all day!"

*There is actually a little color to my skin now....I no longer glow in the dark....ahh the joys of summer.

There are more, I can't remember them all. I need to learn to take notes.

Cheeky - who is gonna sing a little Meredith Brooks for my return (hmmm perhaps my new theme song??).....

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Another Monday

And I am going back to work. Before I took time off with my niece my contract was extended for another 90 days. Not complaining but I did get used to not having to get up and get dressed during last week. LOL

I had a GREAT visit with my niece. I have some more pics but alas its early and I am running late for work and I can't go dig them out right now.

Teenage daughter has decided to quit one of her jobs. Now that the summer is here each job was giving her a LOT of hours and its starting to take its toll. Its a mature decision. So she is keeping the ice cream gig that is close to the house. I like that it is close to the house because I am still playing taxi driver.

I am sunburned on my back and the back of my legs. Should make for an interesting day in work clothes.

That is my update for today. I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming and daily updates.

Zoo Update

So Monday we decided to go to the zoo after all. It was the most perfect day for walking around the zoo. I couldn't have asked for better weather. Just beautiful. Of course when we got there the kids always feel the need to hit the gift shop first and play. See.........




We really had a nice time and what was really cool is they had a butterfly garden. I have always wanted to go to one and now I have. It was really amazing. The butterflies were everywhere and just doing their own thing. Really cool. Very beautiful actually. Then I made a friend.....yes....he landed on the boobage....shut it!





My niece also had a visitor as well. She got some shoulder action.





I was really hoping that man child would have one land on him but he didn't. Maybe next time. The trip was really nice until the drive home. There was an accident on the interstate and it took us forever.

Yesterday was just a lay around and do nothing kind of day. We did go get our toes did. That is always nice. Well, except for man child. He just played with his friends.

Today its MOA!

So I guess its time to update again

Have you missed me? Really? Well just lie to me and say you have mmmmkay? I had a lot of things going on last week and needed to take care of them. Nothing really great happened last week to recap so I will just start back with this weekend.

My niece from NC came in on Saturday. I picked her up from the airport and then we all (Niece, me, manchild and teenage daughter) went to eat Chinese at BoBo's. I had never been there before. It wasn't too bad. Everyone was pretty tired so we just sort of chilled here at the house for the night.

Sunday teenage daughter went to work and the niece and I went to brunch with Bella at the pit. Then we had to rush back to the house for the insurance adjuster (he was supposed to be there at 5 but called and asked if he could come earlier). He inspected the roof from the big hail storm a couple weeks ago and said we were "ok". Ummmm whatever, there will be more hail storms coming (we always get good storms). So then after the adjuster left, the niece and I headed out to see SATC. It was good. Sort of brought everything to a close as far as the story lines go which is nice. I really liked Jennifer Hudson as Carrie's assistant.

Today, it is very nice and sunny so I think we are going to do something outside - perhaps the zoo or go downtown. Everyone is still sleeping so we will see.

So that's my update. Ain't ya glad you waited a week to read it?

Taking a break

You know sometimes, life just gets in the way of blogging. And right now I need a little break. Just about a week or so to get things taken care of. So while I am MIA talk amoungst yourselves.

I should be back toward the end of the week. Next Monday at the latest. So before I go let me sing a little ditty dedicated to YOU my readers (yes, the lurkers too).....


The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wondering what dress to wear, now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one
But you ....
