• So now that I am completely caught up on the blog and getting ready to print it I decided to get all of my old Facebook posts complied to print also. I have posted a lot of funny things about my kids that I do not have a picture to go with so I never posted them on the blog. Anyway, this is basically 3 years worth of posts.

  It was fun to see so many of you A.F. 'ers last night in support of Tyler Fish and his cute family. Everyone that helped put that event together did an amazing job!

•  Just finished a book with a British accent, it was a bloody fun read. :)

  •  I can electronically multitask like nobody's business...at Gold's, watching the cardio cinema on an treadmill, reading my Kindle, listening to music on my phone AND taking a minute to share that with all of you.

    • So, The Vow got bad reviews, but I loved it. I was a total wreck after watching it, (no pun intended.)

      Bruno Mars has the only voice I have EVER heard that makes me want to close my eyes and take it all in...ironically, when I see him live, I HAVE to close my eyes so that his appearance doesn't detract from his voice. :)

      Why does Hollywood think Betty White is so funny? She hasn't been funny since she was a Golden Girl and even then she was mediocre at best.

        Marci's birthday party

      Man, I'll be glad when Gold's looses the new years crowd. Can't find a parking space or a machine these days.

      So someone tried to enter our home uninvited the other night. Rick had just left, so they would have seen him go and I was on my bed talking to my mom on the phone when someone tried to get in the french doors in my bedroom. They didn't have any success. Rick was a little annoyed that I just sat there wondering, "who could that be", instead of actually calling the police or getting out my gun. We have cameras in the backyard so he looked them on the computer when I told him but for some reason it was fuzzy, all he could make-out was a flashlight. Anyway, I am unraped, unrobbed and obviously unaffected, but thought I should pass this on to my neighbors.

      Book club book this month: The Happiness Project...LOVING it. It's definitely a one day read, two if you have pay attention to your family, pee and eat.

      So apparently I was singing Sara Bareilles, King Of Anything, "With too much heart", this morning. My husband took it personal. Just cause I was looking into his eyes and belting out, "Who cares if you disagree. You annoy me. Who died and made you King of anything". Couldn't help it...the rhythm got me. :)

      Took the in-law's to Blue Man Group last night. It was really cool. It was like a concert, comedy act, magic show, play, dance party, human biology class, lesson in technology and art class all in one.

      From my sis, Lena-Happy Birthday sis! I am so happy you are my sister. I love your optimism, your smile, your kind heart... I am so grateful for you today and always. Love you!

       From my other sis, Julie- Happy birthday my beautiful, amazing, talented, caring, selfless, sister! I wish you and your family the best always and love you sooooooo much! Have the most amazing day ever!!! xoxoxoxo

      Went to Old Navy's big sale Friday Most of their clearance was an extra 50% off and then if you put it on your card it was another 40% off...90% off! Can't beat that right? Well I can, We had a $40 credit from Banana Republic that we were going to use towards our purchase and they couldn't get it to work so they said, "Just take it all". We walked out of there with three huge bags of clothes for FREE! :)

       

      There is a Crate & Barrel and Container Store right outside my hotel! I have so many things I want to crate, barrel, and contain that I can hardly contain myself. It's a little corner of heaven right here in Bellevue. :)

      First intimate encounter with TSA...they checked my hair for what?...Razor blades? They Also dusted my hands for explosive powders. There was definite buttocks cuppage involved. :)

      So my husband is posing in nothing but his underwear for a sculptor tomorrow, who will turn him into a bronze statue...kinda thought out of the two of us I'd be the first to be immortalized in art but whatever, he is pretty cute.

      If you want to cry for an hour and 45 minutes straight go see Soul Surfer. Bawled like a baby!

      Russ: Mom, do you know what WWJD means?
      Me: Yes, what would Jesus do. Do you know what WWDMD means?
      Russ: No
      Me: What would Donnie and Marie do. Do you know who they are?
      Russ: Yes, I've heard of them, Don't we have a picture of her in our upstairs hallway?
      Me: um, close, that's Audrey Hepburn. :)
      Russ: Who was the "fight like a butterfly, sting like a bee" guy?
      Me: Muhammad Ali.
      Russ, do you know what WWMDD means?
      ME: Well I'm gonna take a stab at it and guess that since you just asked me about Muhammad Ali that it is, what would Muhammad Ali do, but unfortunately, his name is NOT Muhamma Dali so it would be WWMAD.
        
      
      Ryker just asked me if there was such a thing as Easter coal. He's worried the Easter bunny is going leave him coal in his basket. Either that or he doesn't want to be good at this time of year for no good reason.

      I would like to start a campaign with all my Facebook friends to stop cyber-bullying Rebecca Black! :) Let's be lovers, not haters. I mean, really, who doesn't want to sing about their cereal? Who doesn't want to kick it in the front seat or the back with their friends? Hooray for Rebecca, way to sing about something we can relate to!

      Praise the heaven's! Jacob Lusk is FINALLY gone! Haven't liked a single performance. Of course I wouldn't pay money for a cd from anyone that's left.. why am I still watching this show?

       Clearwater Beach is b-e-a utiful!

      Can't help my self...I LOVED The Help. Laughed and cried. Can't ask for much more out of a movie.

       My daughter called my son a, "ninja poop", yesterday. I was like," that's a weird expression". Then I realized she was using the term, nin com poop. but had no idea what a nin com was and just assumed it was Ninja.

      I had a pink powder puff with glitter powder in it in a Ziploc bag...my 14 year old son just came in, looked at me and said, "this is NOT cotton candy". Serves him right for getting into my stuff!

       I have a temperature of 104.5...why...because I caught the fever...the Beiber Fever! Three things that would have made, Never Say Never better, 1. If I had brought glow sticks to the theater. 2. If the girls screaming behind me would have left my ears drums in tact. 3. If the noisy girls wouldn't have ssshhhed ME! Now all I need is for Wii to make Justin Beiber the Experience.

      One good thing to come out of this mess on Capitol Hill is that my husband will get to come home 2 months early, of course, it will have made the last month that he has been gone a complete waste, because he won't finish the course.

      Can't wait for "The Help" to hit theaters! From the looks of the trailer, Bryce Dallas Howard will be a picture perfect Hillie and LOVE the idea of Emma Stone as Skeeter! Yeah, looks like this will be another "Secret Life Of Bees" success rather than a "Da Vinci Code" disaster!

       From my broski- Lyman- Hey dork. Since you so kindly disregarded the nice note I left you last time and feel I didn't think of you...here goes. I'm thankful for all your help over the years and the sister you've been in helping me grow up and be a better person. Your advice and strength in my times of need have been paramount and helped me succeed in many ways. You're a great sister and I love you....even though you're an Eminem freak!

      There are some striking similarities between my puppy and my toddler! I end up calling them by each others names daily. :)

      Eminem is just as sexy in cartoon form! Thank you Super Bowl for giving me a reason to watch!

       Merry Christmas to me, knee surgery on Monday, (complex, medial meniscus tear and a very large cyst)!

      What the movie, The Fighter taught me; The 80's didn't just hit people with an ugly stick, it beat them silly with it!

      So I'm a Libra now...crap, if only I hadn't gotten that tattoo!

      I don't know who this Jimmer fellow is, but he is consuming most of my friends thoughts and posts! As for me, I have to say, Steven Tyler is BOSS! "Well, hell, fire and matches, ---- a duck and see what hatches". He had me rolling!

      I had a high school friend drop by out of the blue the other day. I was in the middle of watching Fried Green Tomatoes with my kids. She reminded me that after watching that in high school, we tried to make them, except we didn't have green tomatoes so we used cucumbers... I have no recollection of this...but I know my pallet is slightly more refined than that now!

      Happy Birthday to an amazing woman, MY SISTER, I love you so much. I am so grateful for the food you brought for Nathans family yesterday it was such a blessing. I hope your day is everything you want it to be and more.

       From my sis- Patty-HEY SIS WANTED TO WISH U AN EARLY B-DAY LOVE YOU LOTS, I APPRECIATE THE WONDERFUL EXAMPLE YOU SET IN SERVING OUR FAMILY, YOU DO SO MUCH THAT I'M SURE GOES UNACCOUNTED FOR OR NOTICED...JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I SEE IT AND APPRECIATE YOU PICKING UP WHERE I AM UNABLE TOO...I HOPE YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND LOTS OF FOND MEMORIES...THANK YOU FOR BEING AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL ♥

      Rick's plane was suppose to come in at 5:30 p.m. and then his flight got delayed and then delayed again and then delayed again...picking him up at 1:00 a.m. As if 3 months wasn't long enough.

       Ryker : "Mom, when you are 100, will you be my Grandma?"
      Me: "No I will always be your mom, I will never be your Grandma."
      Ryker: "Even when you are all wrinkly, you won't be My Grandma?"
      Me: "No son, I will be your kids Grandma, not yours."
      Ryker: "What if I don't have kids? Then can you be my Grandma?"
      This kid is 7...have I failed as a mother? Shouldn't he be able to grasp this concept?
