• Nobody will EVER be able to hear the song “Everybody’s Workin’ For The Weekend” by Loverboy again without seeing Chris Farley doing his Chip n’ Dales thing.     He single handedly ruined that one for Loverboy…although I’d much prefer to picture good ol’ Farley than the dudes from Loverboy.

• Lonnie’s pulling an all-nighter tonight, so I’m going to do my best to stay up, too. I feel too guilty sleeping while he’s working all night. He doesn’t expect me to stay up - its’ just how I am.

• I’m sucking down coffee like it’s going out of style. Hopefully I’ll help.

• I love my new desktop. I LOVED my last one, so I was sad to see it go, but now that I’m doing this whole Desktop Thursday thing, I have to change it weekly. I normally would, anyway….unless I have one I really adore like last week’s. That’s okay. It’ll make the rounds again sometime in the future.

• I’m using OneNote to compose this again.  :swoon:

• I keep applying clear coat to my French tips. I’m afraid all the clicking on my keyboard will wear the white down. So I apply like two coats of clear coat per day. Better safe than sorry…although I only paid $3.57 for them at Sally Beauty Supply AKA my new home away from home.

• I love you, Sarah! xoxox

• Just had to say that. She’s not been online too much lately and I miss her lots. For those of you who don’t already know, we have declared that we’re each other’s wives. Yes, that’s right. We’re cyber married. If it’s good enough for these prepubescent little twits on MySpace, it’s good enough for us.    :P

• Yes, Lonnie is aware of the marriage to Sarah. He just rolls his eyes at it.    :lol:    Let him laugh…whatever. GOSH!

• The “toys” they give you in Cracker Jacks anymore are freakin’ pathetic. I demand a REAL toy!!!

• We bought 60 lemons, a jar of Cayenne Pepper, and a jar of 100% pure Maple syrup last night. We’re going to start the Master Cleanse Diet the day after tomorrow. I cannot wait! I’m SO excited!!! It’s FINALLY happening!!! I’m going to keep a log on how I feel and everything. Just thinking about it is making me feel sooooooooo flippin’ excited!

• My daughter is already buggin’ me to decorate for Christmas. We decorate on the weekend after Thanksgiving….alaways have. I told her that, but she thinks we need to change tradition. I explained to her that if we change traditions, the house might spontaneously combust, so we’ve gotta stay on schedule. She looked at me and said, “Gimme a flippin’ break, Mom. I’m 10, not retarded!”      Where the heck does she get that mouth?!?!

• My tailbone’s bothering me. I have arthritis in it from about 5 years ago when I fell down the stairs and broke it. It acts up once in a while. I guess these are one of these times. I need to go ask Lonnie to kiss my ass. Hehe

• Holy balls of crap! Now Lonnie’s playing Flock of Seagulls - “I Ran”. If he keeps it up, I’m going to be the one running…down the street in my t-shirt whilst screaming, “SAVE ME!!!”

• I’m so stoked that Lonnie’s been using his My.Opera account lately. I hope he’ll actually stick with it. I am certainly not holding my breath.

• BTW - If you would like a Christmas/holiday card from me, let me know and I will get your addy from you and mail you one. I want to break a personal record this year of how many I sent. I normally send quite the fist full, but I REALLY want to spread the cheer this year!!! So, seriously…..if you would like to be added to the list, just say the word, I’ll give you my email address where you can send me your mailing address and I will send a card! I promise to keep your address secret. I’m not the type to go blabbin’ that type of info. I respect people’s privacy just as though it is my own. Scout’s honor!

• Oh my. Now it’s “Karma Chameleon” - Culture Club. I’m not ashamed (although I should be) to admit that I actually like this song! Hahahaa

• Holy crapola! Sir-Mix-A-Lot?!?!?!!?! “Buttermilk Biscuits”!!! Hells yeah! Hahhahaaha…I love this song!

• Okay, time to wrap this mo-fracky up. Thank you so much to all of you who read my blog so religiously. I can’t tell you how excited I get when I get on my computer in the morning, open my Outlook, and see that I’ve got new comments on here. I immediately get all giddy and then race over here to see what was said. The fact that anyone wants to read what I have to say boggles my mind…and the fact that you keep coming back is truly touching. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you guys!!!

I made this just for Sarah! I hope she will like it…

   For those of you who are unaware, today is my best friend in the whole world’s birthday!!! w00t!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARAH!!!!  Can you believe we’ve only known each other for a little over a year?! No way! It feels like sooooo much longer….a sign of a true friendship!

Anyway, I recorded a video for you, but when I attempted to post it here on my blog, it threw the whole thing out of whack.   In order to watch/listen to the video, you’ll need to go HERE. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I’m not sure exactly what the issue is, but I will get it fixed ASAFP!

I love you, my beautiful BFF, Sarah! I hope your day is truly a magnificent one filled with joy, happiness, laughter, and love! You’re the best of the best and I’m truly blessed to have you in my life…especially to have you for a best friend. ?

• Sorry I’ve not posted for a while on here…not sure what’s up with that. I’m hoping it’s just another one of my phases.

• I might go with Lonnie to a Photoshop Meet-Up tonight. Not sure. I’m undecided.

• Have you tried the Chocolate Mix Skittles yet? If so, what do you think? If not, you really should. They’re SO good. The Chocolate Mix has five flavors: Vanilla, S’Mores, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Pudding and Brownie Batter…all of which are super tasty!

• I had a dream the other night that I turned into a stripper…only it wasn’t me. I looked into the mirror and I was a really nasty looking blonde chick with frizzy hair and just not very pretty AT ALL.

• Lonnie was cold and said, “I can see my breath.” I replied, “It’s dead people.”

• I saw Jim Naybors on TV the other night. What a sweet man. Really. He’s just such a soft spoken and sweet guy. I’m pretty sure he’s still alive…and I’m really hoping I didn’t just jinx that fact.

• My Mom told me last night that she was really worried about me the night before. She said I looked, “Very fragile and pale” when she saw me. I’ve not been sleeping and eating properly, so I’d imagine I didn’t look my best. I hate knowing I worried her, though. Hopefully she’s not worried anymore.

• Lonnie and I went to The Dalles and cleaned out his parents’ chimney for them. Well, Lonnie cleaned it while I just kinda sat on the roof and joked around with his Dad. His parents are really nice people. Ultra religious, but still…very nice. It’s taken me a LONG time to open up to them. I’m so shy around them. I’ve known them for about four years now, and I still have a difficult time making conversation with them. I think they understand that I’m shy and it’s nothing personal, so that helps.

• I noticed that my earring from my left ear is missing. It’s a tiny little martini glass…so cute. I’d better find it!

• I want a new vacuum.

• Halloween is even closer now! Yay! I have a feeling that I’m going to end up being a nun for the third year in a row. We simply can’t afford a different costume. Finances are so tight. It’s horrible. Everyone seems to be feeling it, too. I really hope things will ease up for everyone relatively soon.

• I finally talked to my BFF, Sarah, on the phone the other day! I can’t believe it took me so long to finally talk to her. I hate how shy I am. She’s so easy to talk to, though. I wasn’t nervous or anything…not even one time! We spoke for about three hours or so…never a weird silence. I feel like I’ve known her forever and ever. I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful friend. I love you, Sarah!

• My Mom says she’s liking her new job fairly well. She doesn’t seem overly thrilled with it, but oh well. A job is a job!

• Lonnie’s interviewing for jobs away from home. Our business is still alright, but just not enough. It’d be perfect if people would pay their bills, but the economy is so crappy right now that nobody is able to stay on top of things. If he gets a job outside of the home, we’ll be able to finally pay things off and get some sort of savings.

• I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight…of course.

• I need to call my brother. He’d called and left a message for me on my birthday, but I wasn’t home. I haven’t returned his call yet. I am such a schmuck sometimes!

• I need to mow the lawn. It’ll have to wait ’til the rain stops, though.

• The more I think about it, the more I’m wanting to go to that Photoshop Meet-Up tonight. It’d be good for me to get out and talk with people. Especially people who do the same things I do. Maybe I could actually get a friend or something freaky like that!

• My Mom ordered a Gooseberry Patch cookbook for me. I cannot wait to get it! It comes with a free tote bag, too. I love those books. They have such good ideas…and so easy and yummy, too!

• I’ve been going nuts cleaning lately. My OCD has picked up way too much. I can’t seem to relax. It’s annoying everyone, and even myself. I just don’t know how to stop jumping up and cleaning stuff, though. If I don’t, it just sits in my head and nags and nags until I can’t take it and I get up and do whatever it is. I know something in my life lately has caused it to flare up…I need to figure out what that is.

• I should probably go take a shower. Not only am I freezing, but a hot shower always seems to help chill me out a bit. I’m not tense or anything…just feeling like I could use a little break from everything.
