Lookin' For Love In All The Wrong Places

Some news, from the crazy blond:

*Kayla was 9 (NINE!!!) on Tuesday. Do you realize how old that makes me?

*I got a perm on Tuesday. I suddenly have more hair than I ever thought possible. It's like I'm walking around with a crazy raccoon on my head.

*I think I ran over a rubber yellow chicken on my way to work this morning. If that's true, how funny would that be?

*I'm looking into getting wireless Internet at home. I may have to cancel my Curves membership to do so, but don't you think it's a better trade-off?

Other than the above, my life is fine. Although, I did tell Nathaniel that we took a family vote and decided that Missy can never come over again (since he's brought her over so many times and she really sucks the life out of our family gatherings and is mean to Kayla). We haven't seen him since. Geez, can't a guy take a joke (even though I really meant it!).

I'm starting to think about relationships again. I think that's a good sign. Hopefully I'll be back to normal sometime in the next year..........and hopefully there will be a nice, wholesome, normal guy out there to make all my suffering and doubts be put to rest. Oh, if only I were so lucky!

What? What did you say??

I was watching the news last night. There was a story about a frat house that burned down in the middle of the night. The news anchor, talking about that story, said "...more information on the investigation and the b-cup that saved the day."

B-cup? Like a bra??

I sat there and just mulled it over in my head -- I couldn't imagine how a bra's b-cup could save the day. So I waited for the explanation.

Turns out, he must have said "beat cop" (a/k/a police officer on foot....which is the terminology he used during his coverage.) I started laughing and turned to my mom and said, "I totally thought he said "B-cup" but he must have said "beat cop!!" She just looked at me, but then my dad started laughing and said, "I thought he said b-cup, too. But I wasn't going to say anything!"

Thinking about it makes me laugh.

Thoughts from the month of May...

Honestly, I don't have anything to really blog about.

For Mother's Day, I was going to get my mom a new necklace since the chain on hers broke last week. So I went to the store, found one that I knew she'd like and went to check out. (We were shopping together, so it was a little tricky, but I managed to be somewhat stealth about it.) Anyway, the girl scanned it and I about crapped my pants -- the total was $150.00 AND she hadn't even scanned my other items. I seriously looked all around, wondering if she had forgot to clear someone else's order out before she started ringing me up. I was totally shocked. I could have swore that the price at the jewelry counter was $38.00. So I totally didn't get the necklace.

But I did get her the movie, "P.S. I love you" and we watched it Saturday night. I don't know what it was, but we cried our eyes out, laughed, and then cried some more. I haven't heard of anyone crying over this movie, so I wasn't expecting that. But it was a good bonding experience.

Other than that, I've just been doing some spring cleaning and painting outside (fence, porches, etc.) and mowing the lawn. My dad and I put up a porch swing Friday night. It's really nice and peaceful -- I'll be glad to just sit there and relax this summer.

Too bad I'm content with my life -- I don't have anything interesting or funny to say.

Good old Homer is our new security system at home. My brothers bought a Homer Simpson Santa a few years ago. If you walk past it, it goes off and he either says something or sings something. A few months ago, they moved it so that it goes off every time someone comes in the door.

It's actually a good little alarm system. Of course, the other day I came home and stopped dead in my tracks because as I was going to open the door I thought I heard voices inside and I knew no one else was home. Thankfully, it was just Homer singing his version of "deck the halls"!

It is my one year anniversary at my job. My boss gave me flowers. It was very thoughtful. To celebrate, I'm going to get my yearly checkup -- with my no-deductible insurance. Woo-Hoo! I haven't used my insurance yet, and I've had it for a year. So I'm excited about that.

Other than that, no exciting news. The Diezel Deere is up and running. Pretty soon it will be pulling season. Can't wait!
