What Could She Have Done That Was So Bad
WOW, I am truly APPALLED and DISGUSTED …
This morning at about 9 am I printed up some new stories about Baby Grace. Unfortunately this is the first time I have been able to read them (3:17 pm). I am sure that there are more new stories that have come out by now and honestly I am not really sure that I can read them.
I feel for this little baby so much. Some kids are lucky and others like Riley are not. I can say that because I too was abused as an infant. I was lucky enough that someone stepped in and saved me and my brother’s life. My fate could have been very much like Riley’s if someone hadn’t. I may have mentioned in earlier post’s that I was adopted. I also may not have, as I don’t feel like I was and sometimes forget. So with that said…..
I had chills all over my body when the first article I read posted by Fox News had the headline “Lawyer: Stepdad beat to death ‘Baby Grace’ for not saying ‘Please,’ ‘Yes, Sir’
As I read the story, they claim that Riley was beaten for over a period of 4 to 6 hours. HOLY SHIT, I can’t imagine that her little body could not have taken much more. It is sad but, maybe she is better off in the heavens. It really makes me wonder how often she was beaten. People just don’t wake up one day and decide that they are going to abuse children. It is in them, buried or even lingering at the surface, but it is there!!
First of all to that stupid fuck of a stepdad, she was TWO YEARS OLD. Kids don’t learn manners overnight and as for the “Yes, Sir” She was not in the fuckin armed forces. She was a little girl. What really gave you the right to make her address you like that?? As for being over whelmed about being a father, what a pathetic excuse, I have never heard one so piss poor. So you though beating her would make her behave? I hope the prisoners beat you, that way you can experience what Riley went through. Maybe someone will rescue you, but I hope not. You don’t deserve it..
As for Kimberly Trenor, well, you’re not a mom, you are a monster in its true form, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You sat there and watched…you fuckin watched him do this to your daughter, YOUR DAUGHTER, not his, he had NO right. Me. I would have grabbed my child and ran, ran as far as I could to get away from him. Maybe you were a part of it, I don’t know, I wasn’t there, but there is no way I would have watched any of it happen. As for the news that you are pregnant just pisses me off. You don’t deserve a child and thank god you and that piece of shit husband of yours will be in jail for the rest of your lives. I hope that you never get to lay your eyes on that baby.
To those who read my blog, I apologize for the language. It could be worse, but I really don’t think that it was necessary. As I think about what has happened I often hope that someone finds this and sends it to her along with all the other bloggers who may have posted about this. I don’t think that it will make that much of a difference, but it would be reality for her.
Tis The Season For Gifts
I love this type of gift giving sites! My family is all over the United States and we rarely all get together. This site makes gift giving easy. Instead of buying the gift, bringing it home, wrapping, packing and then shipping it, I am tired just thinking about all that. The gift is sent directly from the company, no trouble, no heavy boxes to carry out to the car and then into the shipping company of your choice. Simple and easy, just the way I like it. The hardest thing is, deciding what gift to send to each family.
Now choosing what to send each family is always the hard part. I have to keep in mind kids are in a lot of these families. The families that do not have kids well, the Wine Gift Baskets work out perfectly. Who doesn’t love a great bottle of wine and some great treats to go along with it?
Not matter what the occasion, they have the perfect gift. From new baby gift baskets to sympathy gift baskets, you are sure to find that perfect gift that everyone will enjoy. Do not want to send the traditional basket, how about a gift tower instead? Send your loved one a tower of boxes, all of them beautifully decorated, stacked on top of each other and held together with a ribbon. Each box filled with yummy treats!
If your loved on is fussy about the sweets they eat, you can also search by brand. Delightfuldeliveries.com offers several different, well-known brand names. Mrs. Fields who is best known for baked goods and Ghirardelli who is known for their chocolates. There is defiantly no lack of quality.
Remember the holidays are here and if you want to make gift giving easy this year, keep in mind that Delightfuldeliveries.com sure can make this holiday season much easier. From Wine Gift Baskets to I am just thinking about you, I am sure you will find somthing for everone!

Baby Grace
My thoughts, Where do I start ??
First of all, Baby Grace, I am sorry that you had to end up with a cold hearted bitch for a mother and a scab of a stepfather. To the biological father, I am very sorry for your loss..
Kimberly Trenor, I believe you are a monster, no matter what your parents and friends say. There is nothing in the world that would ever change my mind. How dare you partake or even allow this to happen. If you truly had no part in the abuse, why would you stay and continue to let this happen to your beautiful little girl? After your child was killed, why lie and tell people that she was taken away by social workers, sleeping or swimming?
To me it sounds like you were trying to get this little girl “out of the way”. Did your husband not like having her around? Was she interfering with what he wanted to do or maybe what the two if you wanted to do together?
I personally could not live with a man who hated my kid so much that he killed her. How could you look at his fat face all this time? For 4 months you lived with him, carried on with your life and lied to everyone. You sicken me and you deserve every punishment allowable by law. Seeing as you assisted in stuffing her lifeless body into a plastic tub and then throwing her a river. I am not sure that you are innocent and I really don’t think you loved her at all. I sit here and wonder what your behavior was like during this time. Where you happy, did you cry, where you sad, what were you thinking. Don’t worry; it will all come out in the end.
I try to imagine life without my son and I can’t, the thought of anyone hurting him kills me. I would rather be killed than lose my child at the hands of another.
In the end, you will get to live your pathetic life in jail. You little girl was robbed of hers, but you and your useless husband will have yours. It is too bad that we as a society allow monsters to continue to live when they have intentionally taken a life of another. You get to wake up everyday and see the sunshine, granted you will be in jail, but you still have that luxury of being alive. Now I, along with millions of other taxpayers will pay for you two to live, for the rest of your lives. That is something you do not deserve as far as I am concerned. You and your husband should be hung by your necks, for the world to see. BUT, that will never happen, so enjoy your life cause Riley can’t.
MAY YOU ROT IN HELL

His is very plain and I wanted to get him something new to wear when we go out. So ladies, if you want something special start dropping the hints and guys, if you want to give something special, check this site out!
Which One?
There are a couple of things on my mind today. Both of which I am have a very strong opinion on. Before I start, I must say I am feeling quite better today. One of these issues I wanted to blog about last night but my neck hurt so bad that I think if I blogged about it I would have hurt myself even more!
Topic number 1: The mother and her boyfriend (step father) who killed a the mother's little girl.
Topic number 2: The nurse in Massachusetts trying to get a bill passed that makes spanking a child illegal.
Which one do I start out with first????? Hmmmmm.......................
owww, my neck
So I have this stiff neck and it is killing me! I am supposed to check into cbu mailboxes and really don't feel like it. You ever have a stiff neck? Boy are they a bitch! Can't move, can't brush my hair, nothing with out it hurting! Even sitting at the computer really is not something I should be doing, but, here I am typing away. I did see the doctor and she gave me an anti-inflammatory, I hope it works.
Paying Bills
Boy am I glad I don't have a commercial collection agency calling me at work. There is this guy who apparently cannot pay his bills and the collection agencies are calling!! I would find it most embarrasing and he looks at it like a joke. He is also in the middle of claiming bankruptcy and has been using his diagonosis of Bi-polar for all his spending issues!! Go figure, Bi-Polar ='s spending money and not paying bills??? I didn't think so either..
Junk Mail
When you check your email do you ever check your junk mail? I do once a week, due to the fact that some things slip through and go in there. Unfortunately I still get a lot of junk in my regular mail! But I did have a bunch of emails on getting a term life insurance quote. I actually thought it was quite fitting. Some day I should really check them out, seeing as the only life insurance I have is through work and even that won't do much for my family.
OWWW..
I woke up this morning with a stiff neck! Boy, does it hurt and I am sure sitting at the computer isn't going to help it very much.I am debating whether or not I am going to go to work, especially since I sit at a computer all day at work too! Stiff necks freakin suck and to even get ready I am going to have to dig out one of my makeup mirrors. I have been putting a warm compress on it and took a couple of Advil, hopefully that will help. Any other ideas?
To top it all off, I walk out of my bedroom and when I went to shut the door, I closed my finger in it! Not the way to wake up in the moring, that's for sure.
So Nice To Be Home
I am home!! We got back earlier this evening and it is so nice. My parents live so far in the woods that my laptop couldn't get a signal!! My mom has a computer but I wasn't comfortable with sitting on it all day.
It was defiantly nice seeing my mom. She it doing okay but I did find out some things I didn't know about. She is having 2 surgeries, one I knew about, the other I didn't. She always acts like it is not a big deal, kinda like it is something she does every week. She is hoping to get one of them done next month, due to her and my dads family insurance co payments. She won't have to pay the 750.00 right away if one of them happens this year. Hopefully it all works out!
It's Cold!!
I am at my parents in New Hampshire and I will say that it has been nice to get away. I do have some pictures to share and will put them up when I get home Sunday. I hope you all did not eat too much!
Well, I just wanted to see what was going on in the blogosphere. My mom and I are going to check see what we can find for a Orlando vacation rental . I need to get out of the cold, that's for sure.

Myth's and The Movie - Teeth
I was on my way to work and I was listening to the radio for a change. Usually it is one of my favorite C.D’s. The D.J.’s were talking about this movie called Teeth. Strange title for a movie but ok, I have heard stranger. So you haven’t heard of this movie either? It is playing at different film festivals if you want to go check it out.
So Teeth is about a girl who is coming into her age, sexually and has been suoressing it by be the local chastity groups most active member. She discovers she suffers from Vagina Dentata. LOL..wondering what Vagina Dentata is? Well, guys hold on to your manhood cause if this girl’s vagina is a weapon. Apparently this girls vagina, has, well there is no easy way to put this..TEETH!!
LOL, just remember; don’t go putting things where they don’t belong, especially if it is not wanted!
It's Here
I walked out of my house at 7:20 am to an unwanted surprise. SNOW! I am not a fan of snow, so you would think that I would not live somewhere where it snows. Well, I have my parents to thank for landing here. We used to live in Arizona and they decided to move here, to the great state of Connecticut. Ummm..great state..yeah right! So any who, we have snow and I am not happy about that, it is officially that time of year!
With that said, if it is snowing where you are be safe and watch out for the moron's on the road. It seems as if everyone turns into a psycho when we have bad weather. Well maybe they always drive like that, but you notice it more in bad weather.
I think it is fixed
that is my cache issues, As for why my posts are showing up as a later date..I will find out now. As soon as I hit the Publish Post button
Let's Talk Turkey
What are you having on Thanksgiving? This year we are going to my mom and dad’s house. They usually have a Turkey and another meat, which we will be bringing a Spiral Cut Ham. She is also making homemade stuffing and mashed potatoes and she had better have some cranberry sauce! We will also bring a pie and I am sure my grandmother will bring one too. I am not quite sure what else she will have, does not really matter too much to me, I will not eat it anyhow.
So do you ever get sleepy after having Turkey?…I know I do. Many people say the same thing. What is the cause of it? They most common excuse is L-tryptophan. L-tryptophan is indeed a sedative but there is not enough in a Turkey to make you fall asleep.
So what is the cause for the sleepiness? Maybe you had a few drinks and then ate too much food! The mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, bread, pies, food, food and more food. Throw a few drinks in the mix and bam! The insulin effect goes into affect!
So do not blame the Turkey and use that as a reason not help clean up! We all know the football games will be on!
Therefore, please, please have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving and most of all….enjoy your family and loved ones!
I'm Frustrated
I have been having problems with websites since yesterday, I figured out that my cache needed to be cleared. I did that and everything is still the same. It is like looking at websites in the past!! Very annoying!! Any thoughts out there? I hate looking at something that isn't real time.
Somthing else very annoyin, this post here was done today November 19th and yest is shows up as I did it in November 17th! What's the deal?
The Mist Is coming Your Way
I love to watch movies, especially when they are thrillers or scary movies! The one downfall is I cannot watch them alone at night, so if my husband is not around I have to watch it during the day, which really changes the mood of the movie.
With that said, a new movie is coming out that I know I am going to love. It is called The Mist by Stephen King and it is coming to a theater near you on November 21st . We all know what kid of movies he puts out, so I am sure that this one will be just as good as the others! So checkout the trailers to The Mist by Stephen King,what are you waiting for?
As I think back to all the Stephen King movies I have seen, it is hard for me to pick just one. Can you pick just one? If so, tell me about your favorite Stephan King movie. I would have to say, one of my favorited is, Thinner. Talk about revenge in all its glory! Imagine having the power to put a curse on someone who did you wrong, even if it was, just an accident, that is what happened to the fat man in this movie.
So get ready and be sure you have your fog lights on, if you want to see the newest Stephen King movie, The Mist, it comes out in theaters on November 21st. I will defiantly be going to see it, not alone and for sure if it is going to be misty or foggy out that night! Don’t forget to check out The Mist trailers and the website as well.
Power Struggle
So Z and I had a power struggle this morning..I just LOVE puberty. He wanted to get on the computer and I asked him to pick up his room first. With out any drama he went and did it...so I thought! He picked up the clothes off the floor, but nothing else.
When I told him that it was not acceptable he started with "I like it this way" "This is my room" "Why do I have to clean, I will never find anything" "That is where the stuff belongs" and they go on.
No problem, no computer, that's all!!
Short On Cash?
Now the holidays are right around the corner and you may find yourself over spending. If you find yourself a little short on cash, you can always apply for a payday loan. What are payday loans? It is a cash advance on your next paycheck, just enough to help you get through that tough spot. If you are going to apply for payday loans, you will need to qualify first and secondly and most important, make sure you can pay it back!
The money will be deposited into your checking or savings account of your choice. Repayment options are available if you cannot pay back the total amount of your loan and applicable fees from your next paycheck.
To qualify for payday loans you must be 18 years old or older, be a U.S. citizen, have a job, because you do need to pay it back and have a minimum income. There may be other requirements, but you will find those out when you apply.
So, if you ever find yourself in a jam, car broke down, unexpected bill or you just over spent on Christmas shopping, you can always get a small cash advance to hold you over.
A Joke
lady goes into a tattoo parlor and asks the artist to tattoo a picture of Robert Redford on her right upper thigh and a picture of Paul Newman on her left upper thigh.
The artist does so, and when he finishes hands her a mirror so she can inspect the work.
She looks at the left thigh and says, "Wow! That’s definitely Paul Newman. Just look at those blue eyes." Then she looks at the right thigh and complains, "That doesn’t look like Robert Redford."
The artist disagrees and says they need to find an impartial judge.
They go to the bar next door and ask the first guy they meet to identify the tattoos.
She raises her skirt and drops her panties, and he gets his face up close and says, "Well, ma’am, the one on your left thigh is definitely Paul Newman. He even has the blue eyes. The one on your right thigh, I’m not sure about—but the one in the middle is definitely Willie Nelson."

My Neighbors
I live in a two family house. We, live on the first floor and there is a family of 4 that lives upstairs. The parents and their 2 grown up children!! Go figure..
They are okay for the most part, we don’t really socialize and they don’t seem very friendly, but that's no bother to me. Except for the weekly banging around up there and down the basement stairs, oh and the gag session someone has ever morning that just happens to be so loud I can hear it in my bathroom, they aren’t to bad. The gag session, well it is pretty gross to have to listen to, I think the guy is actually violently barfing, it is that loud!I certainly hope what ever is being hacked up is not left on the new delta faucets the landlord put in.
So last week Z came up from doing his laundry and he says “Mom, did you see what was on their side of the basement!?”
Normally I would say “Mind your own business.” but seeing as our drier is in the common area of the basement and you can see their side from where the drier is, I went down to look.
I get down there and low and behold, right NEXT to my drier is a keg, which turned out to be a empty keg of beer. No big deal I thought, until Z pointed out that there were 5 more!! WTF, goes on up there?? Never seems to be that many people up there, so that must mean that the four of them and the occasional guest are drinking all that beer. Now I know why I hear all that noise once a week! Might explain the noises in the morning as well!
Updated - I always forget to use my camera!! Check out the pic...
Drink Much?!? BTW, don't tell my husband I took this pic..he'd kill me!! I find it absolutely hysterical though
Thanksgiving Is In A Week
and I am sooo excited. Not because of the food, I don't eat anything except turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, roles and pumpkin pie.
I am excited because I get to see my beautiful mom and my dad..I miss them sooo much! I haven't seen them since August and once the snow comes it may not be till the spring before I see her again. They live in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the weather is very unpredictable. The last time I went in the winter I had to stay 2 extra days because of the snow! You would think that I would be a travelpro at this since they have lived there for over 13 years, but I am not! I am not a fan of driving in bad weather.
Weirdo
My cat is pretty weird and I have often referred to her a part human and dog at times. Sometimes I think she just has a screw loose upstairs. Before she go to the plump 15 pounds she is now, she would race through the house and jump a good 4 feet in the air and push herself off the walls. It was always a good laugh and the more you laughed, the more she did it. Maybe that is why she does it, the extra attention she got!
Now that she is so plump, she is left with racing through the house, minus the bouncing off the walls and licking things, eating the cords to the blinds, watching tv and trying to have a conversation with anyone who will listen or talk back to her. She is a very vocal cat, chatters or screams, more like screams of excitement. Usually she will find that hidden dust ball that I missed under the radiator and she will goof around and "talk" to it!
But back to the licking thing, that is a fairly new annoying habit she has and I can’t figure it out. She will lick you arms or hand, which is no bother, it is when she licks the blinds! Yes, the blinds!
ooooo...awwww, Colored Flames
I received a package in the mail today and to my surprise, it had 3 different items in it. The package came from Vat19.com and it contained a box of 12 candles, one popcorn scented gourmet scented pencils and a baggie of a white sandy substance and when added with water, it turned to fake snow!
By far my favorite product was the Color Flames Colored Candles. I can be an over grown kid at times and when I ever lit one of the blue candles and the flamed burned blue, I freaked! Of course my husband didn’t have the same enthusiasm as I, figures. I could not wait to try each one of them, so it prompted me to run to the store and grab a cake (I did have to go for other things too) but I would have gone just for a cake though! These candles are called rainbow moments. You receive 12, two of each color and the colors you receive are red, blue green, orange, white and purple.
These candles would be perfect for a child’s birthday. I know from the look on my 12 year olds face that younger kids would defiantly find them pretty cool. Imagine the look on your child’s face when you take these oh so ordinary looking candles, light them and the flame is actually the same color of the candle. The other kids will be begging for those on their cakes.
As for the smencil, I gave that to my son.
Pagerank is Gone!!
So today a work I check my page rank with a couple of page rank checker’s that are all over the Internet. Both of my blogs showed up as ZERO’s…yes, ZERO’s. I am less than impressed. I didn’t consult with my GOOGLE toolbar this morning so I am not sure when this all happened, but I know last night I had 2’s.
There are a lot of different theories going around. Someone at PPP/IZEA claims to have the inside scoop coming directly from a source at Google. One of those theories is that Google is targeting bloggers who get paid to post. If that is so, then PLEASE DO NOT MENTION WHO YOU WORK FOR!! Not at all, mine changed after I slammed a particular company 2 days in a row. There is a lot of controversy over that theory, who knows though.
As far as I am concerned, I can type, talk, write or bitch about what ever I want and to punish me for that , well screw them. I didn’t start my blog to make money, it just happened and if my rank being a 0 because GOOGLE doesn’t like that I do it, hey screw them. The same goes for these companies I get paid to blog with, if I was worthy a week ago, then I still am. Nothing has changed on my blog, the only thing that has changed are the powers at GOOGLE. With that said, hopefully these Pay to Blog companies will come up with their own rating system and use that. I know there are a few that do, but I am sure they still figure in your GOOGLE page rank. I will continue to dole out the same crappy, funny, serious content or what ever your opinion of it may be and I will do it for years to come.
HEY GOOGLE - YEAH YOU- THIS IS MY, YES, MY BLOG. I WILL BLOG ABOUT WHAT EVER AND WHOEVER I FEEL LIKE...WHETHER IS PAID POSTINGS, SOME OTHER CRAP OR YOUR MOMMA!!
(Have I been angry the last couple of days???..LOL)
Something New For Your Gas Fireplace
Do you know what fire glass is? If you guessed that fire glass is glass for a fire you are correct. I had never heard of it till today. Fire glass is a replacement for those old, not so attractive gas logs. If you are looking for a unique look for your fireplace, the type that will stop people in their tracks, then this may be the look for you.
Out Of The Mouth Of Babes
Sometime last week I was over at Mel’s blog and he had story posted about kids. They were asked some questions and gave their honest thoughts. It’s called - Are You Smarter than A first Grader? It is really cute.
What kids think is always priceless and it made me think of Z when he was about 5 years old.
About 7 1/2 years ago I had a job interview to go on and I did not have a sitter for Z. It was after work and at the time I was a single mom. So the lady who owned the company said that I could bring him and he could sit with the receptionist. I was a little weary at first but the owner was insistent that everything would be okay. This lady was very nice and had worked for her for years. So reluctantly I agreed, I got there 15 minutes early and met the woman and sure enough she was very nice. Z like her right away, so I went for the interview and came down about 30 minutes later to leave. The lady gave me a funny look and said good bye and I never really even thought about it.
So needless to say I did get the job. About 6 months after I started Teresa (the receptionist) called me over to her desk. She said me she wanted to ask me a question.
“Ok” I said.
“Remember when you came for your interview and Z stayed down here with me?” She said.
“Yes” I replied.
“Your son asked me the strangest question and I was just curious as to how he came up with the conclusion.” She said.
I asked “Well, what was his question?” At this point I am veerryy curious.
She says “He asked me how many kids I had any kids and if so how many. I told him I did and that I had three.” Continuing on she says ”He then asked me if they all had different father’s !!!”
So by now she is trying not to laugh and she says “I never hear you talk about any other kids, is there something I should know?”
I replied “No, he is my only one.” Now I am trying to figure out where this had come from and why would he ever ask such a strange question…then it hit me.
“You know why he asked that” I said “Because his dad has three kids and each of the kids has a different mother!”
So now she is cracking up laughing and she said “I have been thinking about what that little man said since the day he said it. I just never knew if there was a right time to ask anything like this.”
Out of the mouth of babes!!
PPP Drama Goes On!
Well it has now been over 24 hours since I posted my Nintendo post...BTW..My mom still has mine!!
So this is what has been accomplished....
- I did my post
- Tried to submit and was unsuccessful
- Opened a ticket
- Tried to submit again
- got disgusted and told them
- Received and answer from Carri, telling me I would hear from Mike soon..ummm ok!
- Watched the minutes tick away
- Learned Carri's favorite line is.. ALL THE BEST!!
- Told them they sucked
- was told "Hi Ann Marie, I do apologize if you feel like you are being neglected. However, Mike has the knowledge to best help you. I honestly do not know why you are having this issue nor do I have access to the database to research this (nor would I be able to understand the coding if I had access). Mike will answer your ticket just as soon as he can and you can ask him whatever questions that you have for as long as you have them. All the Best, Carri"
- My response to that is "Carri...ummm May I be blunt?? Go FUCK yourself, it is a little too late for help now!!" All The Best, Ann Marie
- I am now in position 135!! At this rate I will hear from someone by Saturday or Sunday!!
Parent Teacher Conference
as today...Z is doing great as I already knew. He still has a few things to work on such as trying not to be so competitive and not being so mouthy at times. He has straight B's, which I am very pleased with. Does very well in social studies and from what the teacher says, he takes great notes! YEAH!! Last year, notes writing, ummm, yeah right!
Starting in January he will start going to classes in the main part of the school. They will start slow and see how it all works out. Slow and steady wins the race..
Did A Post For Nothing
See that post below?? That was the biggest waste of my time! It didn’t take very long but I could have been doing something else.
Yes, that is a paid post and it was through PayPerPost. You wanna know what happened? Probably not, but I will tell you anyways! Lately I have had issues when submit my posts. I get this error saying that I have not entered links and such correctly..So I go back to the post, delete the links, add them again and resubmit my post. Usually this works the first time. There have been occasions when I have had to do it a few times before something in the software finally clicks.
Today however, I did it several times and still nothing. When I say several, I would not be exaggerating if it was somewhere between 10 to 15 times. So I submitted a ticket at 12:04 pm only to be number 160 something in line. I get a reply saying it has been passed off to someone else and now I am 165 in line this was at 1:36 pm.
So at 3:29 PPP time my post was supposed to be submitted. It never happened and when I checked my ticket at 3:15 p.m I was bumped up to 166 in line….go figure.
Do You Have A Nintendo?
and I am not talking about Nintendo Wii….
Do you know someone who just happens to still the original Nintendo or the Super Nintendo? If so, you may want to tell them about this site.
I can not believe they are still around! How cool is that?? www.nintendosforsale.com sells Nintendo NES used Consoles and Games . Although it may be very odd to look at these Nintendo NES used Consoles and Games there are people who collect vintage items and these would defiantly fall into that catagory. I checked out the site and they have 675 vintage NES games! If you collect these games or even still love to play them, you may want to go and check out what they have. The missing game to your collection just might be there. They have everything from Dungeon’s and Dragons to Marble Madness. Talk about a blast from the past!
What A Doozy Of A Morning!!
It all started at 1:30 am, when I should have been sleeping. I woke up realizing I kicked something furry and when I poked it with my toes it was soft and jiggley. It was my cat, Miss Kitty, but what was weird is, she didn’t move. So I poked her with my toes again and still nothing. So I freaked out and sat up. Fearing the worse, I thought she was dead!! So I poked her with my finger in her fat belly and still nothing.
So now I am sitting there at 1:30 in the morning trying to figure out what happened. Did I kill her in my sleep? She not very old, she will be 4 in February, so did she eat something she shouldn’t have? That didn’t make any sense, because we don’t feed her anything but cat food and the occasion piece of fish. Was something wrong with her cat food, I thought to myself. I can feel the tears building up in my eyes. I love my cat and oh god how the hell am I going to break the news Z.
So here I am feeling all alone, even though my husband is sleeping right next to me, trying to figure out what to do. My heart is racing and I am crying like a baby feeling sorry for all the names I ever called her, even thought they were all out of love. I leaned over and jabbed her real hard in her fat gut, she jumps up like a foot in the air and screams at me. Dumb bitch was sleeping and from what I gather in a pretty deep sleep!!
So I called her a few choice names, she came over, I petted her a little and she curled up on one of my pillows and went back to sleep.
That is how my day started and it hasn’t gotten any better….
My Desktop - Part 2
I was tagged again to show my desktop by Kristyn at Kristyn Writes . I decided to do it again because this meme' wants you to not only to post your desktop but, to explain how or why it best represents you...so here goes!
This is what it looks like to the outside world......
Awww..how cute are they?? LOL, this is my son and my niece, my two most favorite children on the face of the earth. I chose this a my wall paper for a couple reasons. #1: because I love them and the picture is perfect, #2: Because they are happy, my son has his own issues and my niece has had a tough life at such a young age. They are kids and they look like they don't have a care in the world, their only care is to be, well, happy. Those smiles are what I call "real smiles", not fake and put on for the sake of a picture. When the eyes smile with the mouth, then you know you have a good picture.
As for the icons, well it has been a month. I did clean it up a little, but not for this meme'. They represent me well, the hectic and chaotic. This is the one place I am comfortable being a mess, as it is of course..my space. No one to tell me I have to conform and be a certain way. To the outside world, like the pic above, is always neat and orderly, but the inside, going in a million and one directions.
The picture above was from my first meme'. Neat and presentable to the world. The one below...that is me!!
YUCK...
Remember my husbands dislike for something he never tried..hummus.
Well I have something I think is just as nasty..Tuna Melt Sandwiches. A can of tuna, mixed with mayo, slapped on an English Muffin, tossed in the oven till the tuna is hot and then topped with a slice of cheese and put back in the oven till melted.
First of all the smell, the smell is horrible. I can't even begin to explain how bad I think it is. The only thing I can come up with is umm..well I won't go there. I'll leave it up to you to decide! The taste, I can't even imagine. First hot tuna and then on top of it, you add the mayo and now that is hot too..I can't even stand room temperature mayo never mind HOT mayo!! Now imagine smelling that while walking on a treadmill. The smell of the hot tuna slowly permeating from one room to the other..grossness.
My husband LOVES these little sandwiches..
Do I Have Maid Written On My Forehead
Please, look at the picture to your left and tell me if I have MAID written on my forehead? Go ahead and look, look hard!! Is it there??? NO, I didn't think so... I just needed proof from other's that ir wasn't there either..
That must mean you need to clean up after yourself..not me, not my job.. I didn't make the mess..YOU did!
Guys, Do You Need Help With Dating?
Ok guys, do you have issues when it comes to getting a date? Are you a fairly good-looking guy but never seem to be able to get a girlfriend? Do you ever wonder what it is that you are doing wrong? Well, I am here to tell you, probably a lot! However, I have a site that just maybe could help you.
Themodernman.com may possibly be able to help you with your dating woes. They claim that they can teach you how to behave around a woman and get a date. There are many tips at this site, for example, how to be cocky funny. That is a tricky one because if you do not do it just right the women will walk away leaving you hanging out to dry. I personally think a man who can manage to be cocky and funny at the same time is born with it, if you can learn it, then great. As this site will tell you there is nothing less attractive to a woman when a man tries to hard to be cocky funny, in the long run, you just come off looking like a fool!
Another pet-peeve, there is nothing worse than a man who is hanging on a woman or one that stares so much you swear that he is trying to undress a lady with his eyes. That is where learning about male flirting body language comes in. This site will guide you on how to have appropriate body language. Now that is something every guy can learn and personally, I think maybe more men should get this book if not for just that! Body language says a lot to women, trust me I know! If you are hanging on a woman, it just looks desperate, especially if she is making faces to her friends. Trust me, you do not see it her doing it, but she is!
Will Ya Try It!
Have you ever had Hummus? I bought some Hummus over the weekend, I think it is Sundried Tomato and Basil. I like hummus and now with the different flavored ones, it is so much better!
So my husband saw it in the fridge and asked me what it was.
I told him “Hummus.”
“What is that a spread?” he asked.
“Yes!” I replied.
“What is it made of?” He asked.
I tried to ignore his question because he is such a baby when it comes to something he doesn’t like or has never tried. If it doesn’t look appetizing then he makes an even bigger deal out of it. So I waited, waited for the whining to begin.
So here I am in the kitchen with an over grown baby asking me questions about what the stuff in the refrigerator is.
I finally said “Grab a cracker and try it. It is really good.”
“Nope, I am not eating that!” He mumbles and then it happens as he is walking out of the kitchen. He comes out with a comment that makes my stomach turn.
“It looks like pus and I can’t eat anything that looks like pus!” as he storms out.
OH MY GOD..Did I marry a dumbass?? It is freakin orange and I am sorry but I have never even seen orange pus before. Where does he come up with this shit?? Just like his phobia of celery, onions and chunky tomatoes and he talks about Z not liking cheese and egg yolks!! So now I know my husband is as bad as Z when it comes to trying things.
As of right now, there are two containers of hummus in my refrigerator that I can’t even eat because of my childish husband!
Help Save Memories
As part of Alzheimer’s Awareness month, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America has designated November 13, 2007 as National Memory Screening Day. Do you have a family member or someone close to you who just does not seem to be themselves lately? Do you feel like something about yourself may not be “just right” It could be any number of things, but if they are showing any of these signs: Becoming more forgetful, trouble concentrating, difficulty performing familiar tasks, recalling words or names in conversation, forget where they are or ever become lost when walking or driving in a familiar neighborhood?
Those are just a few of the warning signs.
If someone you know or even yourself is experiencing any of those signs, you may want to go for an Alzheimer’s screening. There are several locations in each state across the country to go and have it done. Please go or encourage your loved one to go and get this very important, possible memory saving, screening.
Memory loss can be brought on by other things as well, such as vitamin deficiencies, depression or thyroid problems. Memory losses associated with these are reversible, which is why this screening is important. Here are a few tips for “successful aging” to consider as you get older. Your memory is the most important thing there are too many precious memories in your brain; don’t you want to keep them?
Visit your doctor
Participate in activities that stimulate your brain
Manage stress and treat depression
Exercise daily, Follow a healthy diet and take vitamins, including vitamins C and E, and folic acid.
Discuss these with your friends or family. Help people understand there are ways to help fight off the start of Alzheimer’s. It is never too early.
We would all love to have a cure for Alzheimer’s but at this time, there is none but we can now slow the progression of Alzheimer’s with medications. The most important thing at this time is quality of care. Making sure, they get the medications they need or to the doctor they must see. We can not leave the suffers or potential suffers of Alzheimer’s without resources and assistance.
Make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America or as a holiday gift, make a donation in someone else’s name. This donation will go towards programs and services like the National Memory Screening Day. There is nothing more important!
Your Mommy Buys What
Yesterday my husband is storming around the house and he is complaining that he can’t find any of his boxer shorts. He needs them because the one’s he has on are not comfortable…waaaaa..SHUT UP!!
So I refer him to his basket FULL of clean clothes and I ask “What do you want them to do? Are you hoping that they are going grow legs and jump out of the basket and say “Rick, Rick here I am., here I am”
Now I am saying all this while I have a pair dancing across the bed!! He is throwing pillows at me and I get one more in “See what happens when your 31 and your mommy still buys your underwear for you!!” LMAO…he didn’t like that at all!!! I thought it was great!!....and it soooo true!!
I Am Proud To Announce
As many of you know Z had a tough year last year in school and was put into a special class this year. This class is is to help him with his education and it also helps him learn what behaviors are appropriate and which ones aren't. He is on a level system and is graded every 1/2 an hour on behavior, class work and organization.
So these were Z's scores for last week..
Monday: 81..he tested the waters
Tuesday: 100..good job!
Wednesday: 100..great day!!
Thursday..100..ummm, WOW!
&
Friday..100....AWESOME.. so this turned into one of these.......................................
I am proud to announce that Z was...drumroll pleazzzzz
I couldn't be more proud and with that award he was rewarded at home as well. My husband stopped and got him a C.D he has been dying to get and I took him down to City Sports and let him pick out a new Yankee hat.
We told him that we were very proud of him and that we hopes he continues to do a great job. Rewards are earned and he certainly earned them this week.

Need A Better Nights Sleep?
How have you been sleeping at night? Me, not so well, it defiantly could be better. It could possibly be the type of mattress I am sleeping on or it is my bed-hogging husband!
Have you heard of AngelBeds.com? AngelBeds are like the Tempurpedic mattress. They are made of the same NASA developed higher density memory foam as the Tempurpedic . The difference between AngelBeds and a Tempurpedic memory foam mattress, is the price. The AngelBeds will save you up to $3300.00. That is a huge savings! I would also sleep better knowing I saved a little bit of money.
So why wouldn’t you look in to getting an AngelBed? You get the stress and pressure relief, along with the same body contouring as the Tempurpedic. Let me guess, you need proof? That can be arranges too, AngelBeds.com offer a 90 day in home sleep trial. Test it for yourself before you buy it and if you do not like it, call them up and arrange to returned or exchange your mattress. AngelBeds.com also offers a 20-year warranty, free shipping and tax-free shopping for residents out side of Texas.
So if you are trying to decide what your next bed is going to be, check out AngelBeds.com before you purchase that Tempurpedic mattress. If you like it, you have lost nothing and saved a lot of extra money.
Z & I Were Dead People
for Halloween. I was a little disappointed though with the makeup I bought from Halloween Express out of Nashua, New Hampshire. The company set up a shop in a vacant store in a plaza near my job. I bought some stuff called Zombie something or another. We didn't get to use it because when I opened the bottle it looked like sand. The packaging made it sound like it was ready to use and it certainly wasn't. I had to improvise, which you become really good at when your a mom. Next year I certainly won't be going there.
So here are our pics from that night!!
Okie Dokie. It's Done!!
New template is up! It did not take me as long as when the Halloween one went up, but still long enough! So I think I will stick with this one for a while..
Anyways, I hope it looks ok..I am looking into purchasing one in the near future. I may wait until the new years to use it though.
So I am going to let Z have a little time at the computer, he keeps pestering me. He is actually trying to convince me that I need to hold our pet for the week. But I have other things to do, like clean the bathroom and find a wall sconce for my sister -in- law. Honestly, I don't want to get pee'd on!!
da,da, da,daaa....Here Come The Awards
This is one of my LOooooNg over due award acknowledgements..actually very long over due!!
I received this one from Mariuca on 9/23/07..(told ya it was old!) I have to agree that this has to be one of the cutest awards!! I feel vey honored that I was bestowed with this award.
Thanks again Mariuca...
So I got out the Swiffer, dusted it off and now I would like to pass this award off to the following bloggers...
1. Spiff
2. Adrian
I know guys, it's pink and girlie, but you both are fabulous!
3. Ann ...I see you already received it, but you deserve it again!!

6. Wen
Congrates to you all!!
Now it is time for me to go and take my costume off..hopefully it won't take as long as it did to put it on!!
Yeah For The Weekend
Wow, the week ended with a bang!! I have a lot to do this weekend, there are posts I want to do, meme’s and awards to take care of, Bush furniture website to check out and still things here at home to do as well, you know, the chores. I also need to take my Halloween costume off of here and unfortunately I still haven't found the new template yet..ugh.
Well, my coffee pot just finished, I could really use a cup!
Sleep, I Need Sleep
I am sooo tired this morning, I just want to go back to bed. I have been waking up at about 4 am the past few days and quite frankly, it's for the birds!
I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. Z went out with his friends and I stayed home and handed out candy. There was a lot of kids this year, young and old. I think we had about 20 adults show up here who got dressed up and went out. I was a little surprised because people think of Halloween being a kids holiday. It didn't bother me a bit, but I am sure some people didn't like it at all.
So I am a curious, what are you thoughts about adults going out trick or treating? Does it bother you when you have an adult at your door with a costume on and asking for candy? How do you handle it?
