Conner

I told Conner about boogertown and he thought it was funny.


The next day I says to Conner I got boogies I need to go to boogertown to clean them out and he says Just pick them. ha ha ha

yesterday I says to Conner how did you get that scratch on your face.

His mom says He doesnt remember.. trying to cover something up

Conner plays right into her plot and says mom pushed me down

Robin started laughing and says he is fibbing he some how did it when they were at piggly wiggly ... he wasnt watching where he was going and ran into a car or something

Lucas

Last Night...We went to Robins house for Cake and Lucas likes to pretend to be a puppy dogg. He barks and pants and likes his mom to pet him. Conner was getting ready to come to Grandma's house. He is going to a birthday party the next day. He got the girl a hula hoop. I pick up the hoola hoop and says to lucas puppy want go thru the hula hoop and he crawls thru it. too cute.


Before Lunch... Lucas ran to me and I picked him up and he said eat and he points to the calendar that has coupons for McDonalds. He reconized the M Logo. To funny. So I says to grandma look. Lucas was in the den and I says to lucas where do you want to eat.. he points that the mcdonalds coupon.

During Lunch I thought Lucas was in the play area. Kathryn asked why I was sitting at one table and Lucas was at another table. We looked and Lucas was at somebody elses table eating somebody elses french fries. To funny

Lucas was walking to the house and he kept squatting down and smelling the flowers. I picked one of the flowers and he was holding it and smelling it. It was adorable.

after Lunch...Grandma was helping Conner take a shower for a birthday party. Grandma says watch Lucas. So I watch Lucas. the kids gates are up and he knocks one down and he escapes. I go after him and he crys and fuses. Thank goodness for Mr. Potato head to get his attention. So he stops crying. Then he see's Aunt Kathryn and he walks over to her and holds his arms up and opens and closes like he wants to be picked up. I says to Aunt Kathryn Dont do it... but she says she cant resist. She picks him up and Lucas looks at me and says Bye! That stinker. She puts him down, he goes running to grandmas room and slams the door on me.

Rene Descartes

I hope that posterity will judge me kindly, not only as to the things which I have explained, but also to those which I have intentionally omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery.
Rene Descartes (1596-1650)

I think he really meant he intentionally omitted things so he wouldnt get into trouble or cause a scandal .. yeah know to save face

Mystery Monkey in Tampa Bay

There is a mystery monkey in tampa bay that has alluded being caught. He is on facebook and now on twitter. This reminds me of the time we went to the Cincinnati zoo and in the childrens zoo area they had this monkey changed to a pole. There was a sign attached to the pole. The print was not very big and Peter my moms friends son went up to read it. The monkey stole his glasses.
The sign said stay back because monkey likes to steal things such as glasses.

Well if the print was bigger maybe Peter wouldnt of had to stand so close to read it. After all he does need glasses!

Bank robbery suspect threatens to jump off I-77 bridge

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - What started off as an bank robbery Thursday morning has culminated into a man threatening to jump off the Wateree River Bridge on Interstate 77, police say.

According to the Columbia Police Department, the currently unidentified man entered the BB&T on Garners Ferry Rord with a weapon and demanded money.

Officials say the man fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money, but CPD caught up with him and attempted to pull him over. That's when he escaped again and made to the bridge on I-77.

Law enforcement agents are currently at the bridge negotiating with the man to try and keep him from jumping. He is talking, but is still threatening to jump.

Both lanes on I-77 are closed while officials deal with the situation. Officials are asking people to stay off the interstate until the incident is over.

We'll have more on this story as it develops...

Thief takes 56,000 highlighters from Rock Hill truck

ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — Maybe the thief turned green after discovering the haul.

The person or people who broke into a tractor-trailer rig at a South Carolina truck stop certainly had all the necessary supplies.

The Herald of Rock Hill reported someone took 56,000 green highlighters from a tractor-trailer rig at a Rock Hill truck stop Tuesday morning.

Rock Hill police say someone took two pallets full of boxes of BIC green highlighters worth $28,000 from the trailer. The thief also got several boxes of pens.

The driver, Barry Cousar, told officers he had parked his rig at the truck stop Friday.

Cousar says there are no markings on the truck he drives for TXN Logistics of Mount Pleasant to indicate what might be inside.

He says the highlighters were being taken to Charleston to be shipped to Brazil.

How to ruin a nice trip to walmart

Carlos walks in

Begone Carlos Begone

TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE

I am about to drop kick a scanner to the moon.
I will probably end up breaking my foot.
Then I will have to go to the hospital
Then I will be reminded how wonderful my insurance is
That will pretty much ruin my day
Then I will not be able to go to work and will have to lie in the bed and read books and surf the internet and blog all day long.
You think it would be covered under workmans comp???

George Eliot

Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

George Eliot (1819-1880)


Is George Eliot a lady, it is a picture of a lady by the quote a day.

Person 1: What town do you live in?
Person 2: Boogertown

Following

I am following my own blog

ha ha ha ha ha ha

that girls socks must not match

SICK MUSTANG

My poor little Mustang had been puttering around the last month or so. I was hoping I could put off the repairs but on Thursday 03/11/10 it puttered pretty hard which made the service engine light come on.
Friday I made the decision to talk it to a local car repair service. Lucky for me it was not the transmission. They said I needed a tune up. I quiz them on already having a tune up less then six months ago. He said he call me back. They did some more probing and said it does need new wires and spark plugs covered under warranty. It needs belts and filters and some other things. The bill came out to $241. So I had part of it from my savings LOL that is so funny savings. My lap top/ memphis trip savings (more on memphis later) The rest I had to borrow.
I got my car back and it drove like the speedy thing that it is.
The only problem it smelled like somebody was smoking in the car. I gave the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe somebody who was smoking got into the car and test drove and my little nose is awful sensitive.
That is till the next day I decided to give it a make over. I got the tires rotated and was going to get an oil change but would you believe ben satcher (I had a free coupon) was closed on saturday bla bla bla. I couldnt wash the outside because the water spicket was broken but at least I could vacuum and clean the inside. That is where I found the rest of the evidence. A cigerette butt and ash. YUCK!
So I cleaned it really good. Vacuumed and put on the seat covers Heather gave me for Christmas. It was looking pretty nice inside but it still smelled. I let the windows down and drove to wally world. I have some fabric refresh for $2.00. TIP look in the auto department for fabric refesher its two bucks cheaper then the house hold cleaners isle. I gave it a couple of sprays. That refreshener had a nice scent.
Then I went to an automatic car wash. I had SOOO much fun! I havent been to one since I was like 8 and I giggled like I was 8 watching that machine move up and down to clean my car.

It looked pretty good after its makeover. Now I have to dig out the boot for the convertable top and I will be in high style ha ha!

As for Memphis. I wanted to go See graceland. I had it all planned out. It was a spring break vacation. Leave on the 7 of April drive there. Stay at the DaysInn at Graceland. See all the Elvis movies you want for free. April 8th walk across the street to Graceland and soak in all the corny Elvis stuff. Maybe go to the shopping areas afterwards. April 9th go to the Memphis zoo and take full advantage of my snazzy camera. April 10 drive home and April 11 the day of rest. Well POOP on that now. Durn car (that I love so much)

Good news though I am getting $50.00 bucks back on that camera from Ritz. The camera went down in price and I had to speak to live chat twice but I got a credit, now to wait for it get back to my credit card. Ugh the money is so needed!

Conner plays untradional game of Mario at Grandma's



Conner could not play Mario Brothers at Grandma's so he made his own board game up of Mario.

Playing the Wii at Conners



We went to Conner's House on Saturday and we were playing the Wii. This video shows him competing in the Wadeboard competition. He really got into it.

Mum and I had fun with the bowling.

Somebody buy me a Wii please!

Lucas was crawling on the floor barking like a dog and panting. Then his mum would pet him.

Cleo sat by me and started petting me. Cleo is the cat folks. I thought my live was a bit unconventional with my socks never matching and all.

Caterpiller

When I was little I was chewing purple buble gum. I sculpted it into the shape of a caterpiller. I stuck it on my finger and walked into the house and anounced to mom I found a caterpiller. Mom was ill and did not get a good look at the my makeshift caterpiller and yelled out me to get it out house. This startled me and I didnt know what to do. I paniced I guess and I popped it in my mouth. Mum about had a heart attack. Boy did I get yelled at some more. Its funny now but then its wasnt!

A funny on Jay Leno

Shaun White was on and telling a story about how he couldnt find his gold medal. His mum took it to the dry cleaner. The medal had a lot of show and tell and the ribbon on the medal had gotten stained. He said he went with his mum to pick up the medal and they handed it to him on the hanger in the plastic bag. Ha ha.

ITS SNOWING AGAIN!!!

Twice in one year.

The weather has been WHACKY!

Why does it have to snow at night????

The fed ex guy knows me!!!

You would think after 2 years I would remember I work on Bluff road. But no, I cannot remember this. I guess it is the 9 years of habit of putting shop road. I have done it twice. Have something shipped to work and put shop road. I got the number correct but not the street name. What a dork!

It was the same Fed Ex guy who teased me about the DSLR btw!

Good thing it wasnt the DHL guy... he gives me the creeps.

TEXT FROM THE ROAD

I am stuck at a train guess the engineer cant look in the rear view to see what they are blocking*



*Please be advised I was STOPPED waiting for the train while texting. I do not condone texting and driving. I do not really condone talking and driving. I really really do not condone somebody from Florida pulling in front of me. Go back to Florida. I am sure the weather is better there.
