I've had the great pleasure in being able to follow the blog of an amazing family who lives all the way across the country. I just love reading their blog and getting a sneak peek into their lives. Their story is truly inspirational and has led me to the joys of adoption. Please take the time to read their blog, and watch their Gotcha Day video. It is truly amazing. If anyone reading this has ever considered adoption, or is currently considering it, please please please follow through. I believe that this is the BEST gift anyone could ever give a child. The gift of FAMILY, the gift of LOVE. God Bless!!!!!

HSN like I've never seen before...
I'm sure all of you have seen the Home Shopping Network on TV. That show that you probably will never buy anything from, but you always catch yourself watching for at least a good 5 minutes of. With the sweet old ladies selling clothes, jewelry, make-up, home gadgets, and almost anything you can think of. Actually....I'm just going to take the word "almost" out of that last sentence. ANYTHING you could imagine buying, they have a show on TV to sell it.
Last night I got into bed and decided to watch a little bit of TV before I fell asleep. It was probably about 10:00pm. I'm searching through the guide, and nothing much is on....but something catches my eye. A show called "Erotic Goodies" on a home shopping channel. So I'm like Huh?? What the heck is that?? I turn to the channel. It's a freaking Kink version of HSN. I don't think it was actually HSN but the whole,
"Yes you can buy this for only 3 easy payments of $19.95!"
"You must hurry because supplies are going fast!"
"If you buy today, shipping and handling is FREE!"
Sweet ladies talking about these wonderful products that they have on show for today that come with all of these wonderful features. But instead of talking about a toaster, they are talking about a dildo.
Instead of,
"Look at how wide these slots are, perfect for bagels! And this nifty little dial that lets you choose the amount of crispiness you'd like! It comes in an assortment of colors to match your kitchen!"
its,
"Look how big and long these are! And this nifty little dial that lets you choose the amount of vibration! It comes in an assortment of colors to fit your preference!"
WOW. Just WOW. What is this world coming to??!?
When my kids are older, I am DEFINITELY never going to let them watch TV past like 2:00pm. And if they ask for a TV in their room?? "Yeah sure, when you turn 18. Oh What? All your friends get to have a TV in their room? Yeah well all your friends are going to grow up to be porn stars!" GEEZ!! I am officially afraid for my kid's future. PLEASE God, let them grow up to be normal. Maybe become a priest or a nun?? That would be GREAT. Thank you God. Amen!

Meat is NOT my friend...
First off, I would like to point out that my blog layout has changed. Hopefully you have noticed before reading this post, and hopefully you like it.
OK back to MEAT. Especially steak. Not my friend at the moment. You see, I have a mouth. A mouth full of teeth. Teeth that bite things, teeth that chew things, teeth that grind things in to bits and pieces for easy digestion.....so on and so fourth. You get the point. Well I believe one of my teeth has a cavity. Actually, the cavity is in between two of my teeth. Every single time I eat steak, I get a piece of meet stuck in between these two teeth, and it is a B*tch trying to get the meat out. Now that I have a cavity, as soon as I start picking at this spot to get the meat out, it will hurt all day. No fun.
I really need to go to the dentist but don't want to. It's not because I don't like going to the dentist, my dentist office is actually pretty cool. Trips to this place are actually fond memories of mine as a child. The office has a big double sided aquarium built into the wall with all sorts of fish, magazines for children, and a really cool book that tells stories of the bible with really cool pictures in it. This book has been in that office ever since I can remember. And every time I step foot in that office and see that book, it brings me back to my childhood. Another awesome thing about this place, if you go into the bathroom, the toilet seat is clear and sparkly. It has all sorts of dental tools built right into the seat, it's really fun to look at. I remember telling my mom that I have to go to the bathroom as soon as we got there, just so I could admire this toilet seat (kind of gross now that I think of it, sitting there admiring a place where people put their naked behind, lol). So as you can see by all the awesome things that this office as to offer, this is NOT a place to dislike. My reasoning for not wanting to go is....yup...you guessed it! MONEY! Also an arch enemy of mine! I have no dental insurance, and such trips like these are pretty costly.
So I'm stuck, with a cavity, in between my teeth, in my mouth, on my body, sitting at this desk, writing this blog post, on this computer, in this building, on this street, in this town....I could go on forever but some of you might get bored. So I will stop there. If any of you have some mad dental skills, hit me up! My teefers would greatly appriciate it! :)

Balloons for an Angel...
Yesterday was the 31st Birthday of my cousin that passed away on April 26th, 2009. We all got together at the cemetery to send up some balloons for her to enjoy. It was such a beautiful sight and for a lot of people, closure.
She was a very sweet woman and by far, one of the silliest people I knew. She had so much life and such a great spirit. I know she's looking down on all of her family and friends, still gracing us with her presents, still part of all the family gatherings, still slapping her knee when she laughs, still smiling, still enjoying life and everyone who was part of it. She's in each and every one of our hearts and souls and she will never be forgotten.
I LOVE YOU TAMMY JO! :)

TV is the Devil! And cars, and money....What's opposite of the Devil you ask? Michael Jackson's song, "Beat It".
We have realized that my three year old son has turned into a ZOMBIE. And what's the cure for a Zombified child?? Take away their life source, the TV. It's really sad when you have a great yard to have all sorts of adventures in, and you have to throw your child outside and lock the door before he starts clawing his way back into the house chanting (in a "zombie" voice) "TV, TV, I want TV." So we took the TV out of his room, and are allowing 1 hour of TV per night. Last night we treated him to a movie of Transformers since he did such a good job during the day and kept busy with outside play. He had a blast with the sprinkler, we turned on the music and danced around, and he's starting to get back into coloring and playing with puzzles. Hopefully we will have a cured child by the end of the week!
You know what else is the DEVIL?? CARS! Especially Ford UN-Focus'. We are still battling with that stupid car! He spent all night Friday night just trying to find out where the heck the starter is located, and all day yesterday to take it out and put the new one back in. After all that work that him and his mechanic friend did, the car STILL WONT START! Grrrr!!! So we are going to pay his friend to find out what the problem is. THANK YOU, Honey, Baby, Sweetie, and any other pet name you can thing of, for spending all your time trying to fix the car. I GREATLY appreciate it!
Right now, the car has a brand new battery, new (but old) starter, and when turning the key the lights come on, radio and horn work, and it makes a "clicking" noise. For any of you who want to give some input on what might be causing my car to give us such hell, all suggestions are welcome! Just comment below!
And last but not least, MONEY. Damn you money! Why can't there be enough of you???
As for things that a
re not the devil? Michael Jackson's song, Beat It. While my son and I were having a dance fest, Ashley was in her jumper watching us dance and sing along. Beat It came on and every single time I would say "Beat It" she would crack up hysterically. Who would have ever thought that Michael Jackson would be the second thing that caused my daughter to laugh hysterically. It's so cute when she does it, and at this point laughter is sparse with her...so we will take whatever we can get. I can't wait until she gets a little older and we can hear that cute little laugh all the time!
