Please note......!

The difference between memorial and funeral. I might be pissing someone off by writing this but next time you tell me and call me three times to guilt me into attending a 'memorial' service after I've been up all night working then you might want to make damned sure you say the word FUNERAL so I come dressed appropriately and awake enough to endure the hell of watching someone be buried before the service is over. I did love the deceased, no doubt. But I came in jeans and a black shirt thinking it was much like a rosary. Very casual and to pay respects. But when I got there I had no idea we were starting with the graveside and proceeding to a full blown FUNERAL. No shit. There's not enough beer to describe it. If I had come more prepared and informed it might be a tad bit different, but oh well. Rest in peace Aunt Corrine!!!!

Lipstick tips and a bit more!

"You can tell someone is sick if her lips are pale:this shows bad circulation" Page 179, this was under the beauty section of this book Casey just got last week at Barnes and Noble. It wasn't expensive, and at first glance I thought it was cute. It still is, but is probably better suited for a girl more 'preteen' than she is. It goes into bras and puberty stuff at the end, but not very graphic at all. I think it's okay for an 8 yr old....going on 18!

And anyway, after a full day of a 'memorial' that turned into a 2 hour graveside and church service, I came home to pick up the house and find this on Casey's floor. It kindof brightened my day, a little. I started thumbing through, and came across a couple of cute things. For instance, she still like Max in her class. They've been 'crushing' since kindergarten. And her friend Olivia passed the best friend test by having "ALOT" of socks...who would know this about their friend?? I don't even know if my friends wear socks.

Go Wabbits!

There's nothing worse than a wabbit being beat than being beat by a wabbit! Oh yes, Connor's basketball team beat the undefeated (until now)team from IC this morning! Woo hoo! Connor got some game time,but not as much as usual. This was easily understood as the other team was very aggressive and Connor is, ummm, not. Connor still held his own and played well making several rebounds and good throws to other teammates that led to several points. They are now ranked #1. Connor is pumped up, so are we. Thank god, since our teams mascot is a freakin' wabbit.

What? Another Blog?

I know my sister is going to fall out when she sees that I have posted yet again this week. Isn't this great? Whatever. I'm on a roll here people. I say I don't set resolutions for the new year, but what about a list of things that I like to do, should do, but won't, if I don't have a list to keep up with? So blogging is on my list. I am determined to stay posted and keep you updated with my extremely boring life and talk about my kids and running anytime I want to. Like it or not.
I really want Teds wife to start blogging too or even my older sister. I need someone else to comment on my blog. Well, I'm off to the gym to run. I got suckered into helping some friends do the marathon relay. I can't remember how many miles I do but at least it's not 13! My goal is to run 3-4 miles everyday during the week and do at least one long run of 6-7 miles on sat. or sun. Ha! We'll see. Off to the gym I go!

what tha?

And you thought I was a bad speller. What is this?

Who said no one got drunk?

Happy New Year!

Last night the family and a few friends came over. We were just going to have just a 'few' people, but when you add the kids all up we had a small army in the playroom. Yes, Stinkydog, we had a party last night. It was very tame and despite the very large bottle of wine Dad brought he didn't get drunk, nor did anyone else, and drool on my couch. Gee, And I was prepared this time with plenty of extra towels to put down in case. Anyone got any neat resolutions that they made last night? Not me, no way!
