i ain’t dead…yet

Published by jess under jess

even as i sit here to write, i am not sure what words i’ll type out. you’ll have to bear with me as i ramble…it’s the only way to clear the cobwebs and get me back to blogging, so to speak.

i’ve spent a week watching tv. don’t email me and tell me i watch too much tv. i already know. mandy patinkin is leaving criminal minds. what a huge bummer. grey’s anatomy? sucked six miles of camel nuts. in yemen. heroes? bitchin, as usual. i also love desperate housewives (the premiere tonight was good, actually), shark, the biggest loser, damages (on f/x), and csi (the vegas one). i’ve been referred to dirty sexy money, too…so i’ll let you know what i think of that, too.

i have figured out how to work my DVR and this thing is like, the best ever!! i love it. i no longer waste an hour watching a 45-minute show. i record it and skip the commercials. except for the peyton manning ads. he cracks me up.

in my defense, in the past month i’ve read 5 books… so i am not a complete loser. i started the twilight series and (sorry, lor) i like them. i’ve only read the first book tho, so let’s see what happens. the writing is a bit too…simple? but i like the story, so i’ll keep reading. unfortunately, they are on the wait list at the library, so…it’s not progressing as fast as i would like.

football…well it’s football. my chargers SUCK. i am so glad all the sportscasters feel the same way i do in that firing marty was the biggest mistake EVER. i am, however, happy for al and her packers. brett favre truly deserves to go out on top…not like the last 3 seasons the packers have had. i am happy for him, the team and all packer fans.

at work, i’ve been uber successful. that’s a very good thing. however…i wonder if i’ve now set the bar so high for myself that surpassing it will be next to impossible. also…at times, i am not even sure what the hell i am doing…so how is success possible if i don’t clearly know the route? does that make sense at ALL? i hope so. it’s possible i don’t give myself enough credit, but sometimes i wonder how i accomplish anything…because i feel like such a wreck inside. and by wreck…i don’t mean a loser. i’m just unorganized…my thoughts are scattered. i think i have ADHD. don’t laugh! LOL. i am rarely focused on a single task…how do i fix that?

the kids keep me busy as ever. i am never at home after work and it’s driving me nuts. jenna dances on monday. jake plays soccer on monday or tuesday and saturday. he practices tuesday and thursday. wednesdays…jake has scouts. thursdays…i play volleyball. every other friday we have paul’s girls. on sunday, the kids go to church and paul sleeps most of the day b/c he has to work that night. then i start all over again.

i need a vacation.

p.s. ace is no longer with us. she was too sick. may she rest in peace. xoxo ace. (she was my sick kitty…remember?)

October’s New Header

Published by Bridge under bridge

Take a look at our new Header! We should have a new one every month. Sometimes more than one a month…

Like the Bat? This comes from Jess making fun of my bat drawing skills.

HAHAHAHA. Batman!

Auditions for the Nutcracker.

Published by Bridge under bridge, kids

Today my daughter auditioned for the Nutcracker. If she makes it she will be a clown. You know… the cute little kids that come out from the bottom of the big skirt?

Today my son also auditioned. He would be a party boy. No dancing required. Well dancing with GIRLS would be required, but no ballet.

I’ll know in a week.

I am stressed out.

What if one child makes it and the other doesn’t?

Anyone up for Quizzo?

Published by Bridge under bridge, humor

My local bar, The White Owl, hosts an event at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays called Quizzo. You answer questions in rounds that range from sports, pop culture, to politics. Anything really.

Want to feel stupid?

All you have to do is look over at the drunken bastards at the table next to you that won.

My table came in 4th, and I even left early so my mom could go home. Thank you mom! Way to go husband and Trenty!

Anyways, we were NOT the losers. Most of the tables had around six people on them too. If I could only talk Jess into going one time we would WIN!

Have I ever mentioned that if you have the chance you should always pick Jess as a partner if it is a trivia game. Jess and I kick ass at Cranium. We were the reigning champs for 3 years at my New Years Eve party. She would also be one of my “phone a friend” if I ever went on Millionaire.

I also need to get Loralee to go to Quizzo with me, and possibly Karen. Then I would have music and literature covered. Plus my friend Soffe to get all that US history crap covered too.

My fantasy Quizzo team would consist of:

Me: Because I like beer, art, and cleaning supplies. I like to read too!
My husband: Because he likes beer too, and he is the smartest guy I know. Except that coffee is spelled with 2 “e’s”.
Trent: He also likes beer, and computer games. Plus he just needs to get out, and he has already played.
Jess: Knows a lot about sports, pop culture, NASCAR (not a sport), star trash, how to spell, politics, television… you get the clue.
Al: Knows all vegetarian related stuff, politics, rocks, water, and the environment. Plus she runs, bikes, and hikes.
Loralee: Knows… music, who was in movies, theater, and food.
Karen: She is a librarian… HELLO?
Soffe: Duh, History and stuff. Plus he really likes sports.
Loralee’s husband: Electrical and technical computer stuff.
Michelle: She has traveled a lot. I should mention that a lot… is a lot. Maybe she would know where all the countries are located.
Nat: Snowboarding, computers, and how to brew beer. Plus your shirt was PINK the other night!
Nan: All that hairstyling stuff, and you are FUN!
Kyle and Camille: Just to get you to Utah for a visit.
T: Because we could make $2 off of selling Al at the bar.

The list goes on. I know I am forgetting some of my friends that would possibly go with me to the bar to play, if not to drink. Why would YOU want to be on my fantasy Quizzo team?

Please comment so I know.

If it is not one thing… it is another.

Published by Bridge under bridge, kids

Lately my son has really needed my husband and I. He has been having issues at school and some at home. I am completely burnt out. I can’t get anything done right at home or work. I think I am going to take a time out from life for a bit to get this all sorted out. I am not sure if I’ll have the emotional energy to post for a bit, but I’ll try.

Bragging rights for the week

Published by Al under al

WHOOOOO HOOOOO!

I have this week’s bragging rights because my Packers beat Jess’s Chargers! YIPPEE!

Honestly, though, I didn’t think the Pack would win but maybe Favre has finally decided he’d better get his shit together so he can retire after a season where the team has better than an 8-8 record. And he’s teaching the young wide receivers and running backs how to play, prior to them playing with Aaron Rodgers.

Who knows. These are all just postulations on my part but I’m just stoked to see the Pack start 3-0 this year. They have to have a chance to get into the playoffs and beat da effin’ Bears at least once this season.

Hmmmm. Only time will tell.

Once again, the Packers beat the Chargers. Repeat. The Packers beat the Chargers!

off route… off route… off route…

Published by jess under humor, jess

I KNOW I AM OFF ROUTE!!! SHUT UP YOU INSIPID COMPUTER BIOTCH!!!

oh hi! i didn’t know you were here.

that was me…yelling at my laptop today when i was lost in oklahoma city. i wasn’t really lost, i was just really hungry and i had strayed from the original planned route to find a morsel of nutrition. no biggie, right?

well apparently, it was a huge issue for ms. gates. that is what i named this lady who talks to me and tells me where to turn. i call her that because the software is microsoft streets and trips. this software saved my ace today…i never would have gotten where i was going without it. i plug a little GPS locater into the usb port on my laptop and type in the address. then i click a button, it figures out where i am, and then it tells me where to turn, how fast my car is going, and what direction i am headed. if you hit the road often, you need this software.

did i mention i have to agree NOT to sue microsoft every time i put in an address? yeah…there’s a little disclaimer i am supposed to read, acknowledging that messing around with the GPS while driving can be dangerous. i guess it’s unsafe to push buttons and use the touchpad mouse on your laptop while you are on your cell phone bitching to your boyfriend about being lost, singing “stupefy” by disturbed (raaawwk!) and smoking at the same time.
