In the Armpit

Well, we are now in the armpit of TX for a short visit and lots of food. Jarrod has a job offer in Tucson we will probably go check out in the near future. Hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving. I'm off to bake.

Saying the Right Thing

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks went down easy. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party.

Jack had to force himself to open his eyes,... the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table w/a single rose. Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order. So is the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:

'Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian'
He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is a hot breakfast, hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, 'What happened last night?'

'Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.
Confused, he asked his son, 'So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table?'

His son replies, 'Oh THAT!.. Mom dragged you to the bedroom, And when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, 'Leave me alone, I'm married!!'

Broken Coffee Table $239.99
Hot Breakfast $4. 20
Two Aspirins $. 38

I'm NOT on the snotty list!

Ok, so this is what Mia has been walking around all morning saying. It all started while in Walmart. This is the conversation:
E- I'm being a good helper, so I'm going to get presents from santa.
Me-yes you are, I bet you will be on the good list. Mia (who's been a pill), do you want coal this year or presents?
M- What?
Me- If you're naughty you go on the naughty list and get coal in your stocking instead of presents.
E- You are on the naughty list.
M- I'm NOT on the snotty list.
E- Yes you are.
M- I'm Not on the snotty list.
E- Yes you are. Mommy tell her.
Me- You aren't on the snotty list, but you're going to be on the naughty list is you don't start behaving and being a good helper when we ask.
M- I'm not on the snotty list!!!
This went on for a good 10 minutes as people all around u snickered as we walked by.


Our dog has also gone missing. It has been a week tomorrow. No phone calls or anything. So, Bear we miss you and hope you are somewhere safe.

Happy Bday My Beautiful Baby

It's hard to believe that 3 years ago today I held you for the 1st time. You were such a skinny little thing. Daddy and I were so excited that you were joining our family. Your sisters were excited too! We all love you so much and you are growing up to be such a sweet and beautiful little girl. So, in honor of your third birthday, here are 3 things I just LOVE about you:
1. You are my cuddlebug-you just love to snuggle up with me and play with my hair until you fall asleep and even though it may irritate me sometimes due to the inconvenience of when you might want to play with my hair, I secretly love it.
2. I love your sweet smile and your kind heart
3. I love to watch you play- it is so funny and cute...your imagination is amazing!
As you can see, I love EVERYTHING about you and can't wait to see what this year holds!
Three years ago

Oooh...that chicken

I thought this was pretty good...so I'm sharing-

**Why did the chicken cross the road??**

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The
chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need
to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other
side of the road.

SARAH PALIN:
Because it was the Maverick thing to do.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross
the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right
from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it
deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must
first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes
after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is
help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT'
problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he
wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn
from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to
give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and
not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to
know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not! The chicken is
either for us, or against us. There is no middle ground here...

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image
of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!
It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his
eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American!

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told
us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check
book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new
platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C%......
......... reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken ?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

I'm running for office!

Since I'm not too happy with my choices I thought I'd run myself.
