I THINK HE LOOKS LIKE HANNIBAL? ANYBODY ELSE SEE IT?

LOVE YA DAD GET BETTER SOON...

I have had an epiphany!!

2010-11-13T01:54:00.000-08:00

Its been awhile and I am so sorry!!

I know my vast and numerous throng of blog followers are probally super sad that I have not been keping up on this page. So I decided to come back and give it another try...
(So here you go you 3 people who read this!!)

I have had an epiphany!! I love that word epiphany!!

It kinda caught me off gard this sudden inspriration about myself. But I do believe it will help me in the future.

Here it is... I seem to almost always get my answers to prayers in a very specific way.

Now this fact may have occured to other people already. I am sure most people found out way before turning...(you thought i was gonna post my age here huh?) into an adult that they hear or feel answers in one way better than another and are than more intune to listen when those answers come.

I am a little slower I guess cause it has taken me a lot longer to figure it out than I should have. Mabe I have know on some basic level...

You may feel that "warm fuzzy"... I get that, not often but I can say I have felt the warmth.

Or a Whisper... that too sometimes the Lord speaks softly to me when he may know that I will listen.

Burning... my heart has ached once or twice like it was on fire.

Even Thoughts or Impressions... for me more often than not I get the stupor of thought.

But here is where the whole epiphany thing comes in...love that word epiphany

MY ANSWERS, the ones where it just stops me in my tracks and I know it is a message or an answer to prayers... the knock me off my feet and I learn the biggest lessons have my most meaningful answers come in the form of HUMOR.

This may sound stupid even sacreligious but it is so true for me.

It is not the warm fuzzy the burning the thought or whisper or lack of any of those things that stick with me the most.
My answers come best when the lord makes me laugh.

With that being said I am gonna start posting funny funny funny things that happen to me here and there and show you how they have become the best things for me.

This last week I had a Bladder apt. I have been in a lot of pain. Pain that I cant control for me is pretty intense and so this last week I have been cranky. To the point that I have not wanted to be around people for fear of hurting someone or hurting someones feelings.
It was not good I yelled at people on the phone for work. I was short with my friends and family. or I was holed up in my bed not wanting to see anyone. I was getting to the point where i was kinda worried that I was depressed. Than to top it all off I have a SOFTBALL size cyst drained. Needless to say my mood wasnt going to be getting anybetter anytime soon.
Coming home from this doctors apt. after checking to see that the procedure the week before was healing I have had a cath. which is painful and I am driving home and hit traffic. So I am PISSED... and decide that enough is enough and I need some "heavenly help" to change my mood cause there is no way I can do it on my own... I say a quick prayer.

Please Please Please Heavenly Father just help me to be better I need an adittude adjustment please dont be too hard on me if I swear coming home the traffic is more than I can handle right now. I want to be happier if you can help me with that it would be a good thing. I will try to be better...

And than I notice this...

And I just start busting up... What perfect timing and what a perfect Heavenly Father.

My Prayer ends with Thank you Thank you Thank you. I know this is your way of telling me I need to be happy. I need to be in a better mood even if my as is not so meri. I will try to be happier even if my meri as* isnt so much right now...

So I guess that is it.

I hope it made you laugh or at least a little bit more "Meri"

2010-09-15T06:34:00.000-07:00

I love love love this video and just found it again... a visit with grahms family and little dane just really starting to talk.

We watched the new ice age movie and dane picked up on this phrase... gotta listen to it a couple of time to get it can anyone guess what he is saying?

sorry its upside down new phone and i was just figuring it out!!

well it has been a week....

2010-05-10T00:46:00.000-07:00

here it is another fun story with pictures.
I do have to say these ones are really pretty so if you have weak stomachs don't even bother...
Friday night I was having some pain, the weird thing was on top of the pain I usually get in my stomach and bladder I had a killer headache seriously I was thinking I was having the beginnings of a migraine.
I was not so happy with this but whatever I got my rice rag out heated it up and was preparing for a long night of pain killers and cheesy movies... no worries.
After calling a friend to help me go get Grammies from the airport cause I couldn't drive while on meds... I knew I needed to sleep or pass out the pain in my head was getting worse.
I had grammie feel my jaw i thought it was puffy and my eyes were hurting too
so I looked in my mouth no pain on my teeth but like I said it was a little puffy.... nothing

Maybe two hours later one small purple dot on my gum line but nothing that was too big of a deal. still thinking i am OK.... I will go to bed and see a doctor tomorrow i do have a slight fever...

When i woke up 3 hours later in pain the nasty little surprise above is rearing its ugly head. Its like 4 am and i am really worried!! Dang it i gotta go to a dentist.... good luck with that on a Friday in Boise....

about an hour later about 5 am not even the left over pain killers i have for my bladder surgery is touching the pain and it has swelled to golf ball size i am shocked that it hasn't burst and that my gums are holding up my cheek is swollen and yellow you can see the golf ball in this picture i kid you not the abscess in my mouth golf ball size (sorry its way gross but i am freaking out!! and thinking seriously SERIOUSLY this is happening to me?!?!?!!!)
At 9 Uncle Rob is calling his friend and neighbor who is a dentist i have called Kim's friend who is a dentist and Ellen and Scott Taylor who have a dental office too by 11 I am calling Ashley to see how bad this is and what in the world i can do if i cant get in to see a dentist cause every office i know is closed on Fridays .... what i am really wanting to say is i cant take this pain anymore Ive got Grammies drill is that a bad idea to just pop this sucker myself and than make my way into the er?

Uncles friend pulls through at the last sec and will see me at 2 30. When i go in he asks why i am in and because i am not crying probably doesn't really realize that it is as bad as it was cause when i pull my lip down to show him both he and the dental hygienist both gasp and get stuff out of drawers right away. I had to swear over and over again that this hasn't been festering for months in fact it happened literally overnight. Even worse that the abscess "popped up" within about an hour of what i knew was going on. I still don't think he believed me though.

The dentist who was amazing by the way!! He did an ex ray and told me flat out that the tooth needed to go just by the sheer size of the abscess he said he felt he needed to take the tooth but that he could see there were many fractures on the tooth... he asked me if i had any head trauma that would explain tooth fractures i had to laugh.... and the whole dumpster story came out...
which had him going cause i guess Shay and Shelby hid in his garbage cans one day trying to scare his kids so he thinks our family must have some weird thing with trash cans .... hehehe anyway out came the tooth... and you were right Ashley with that much infection the Novocaine really does nothing to numb the area.... i didn't much care how ever cause i knew the sec that the it came out there would be relief and boy was there!!!

(actually when he stuck me with the needle the first time the abscess burst and they had to stop for a few to suction out all the gross.... and than again when they finally got the tooth out, ((the dentist said i have great roots!! ) there was a second pocket of gross... but man oh man i have not felt sooooooo much pain and i have had my fair share.... and sooooooo much relief as when that tooth was gone!!! )
So that is my latest news, if its not one end with me it is another!!

Little Ceasers Foot Disaster

2010-04-15T01:52:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't love this guy right?.............
Well after today I m gonna say he's not my biggest fan!!!
So here it is my latest incident which I am now dubbing Little Ceasers Foot Disaster.

Tuesday night a bunch of my friends were getting together to celebrate a birthday party and to say goodbye to another friend. They are both pretty popular here in Boise so we knew there were gonna be a ton of people show up and decided that food was a necessity.
Of course I was nominated to be the runner for the Pizza because that makes the best sense, how this was decided I am still not sure maybe I offered what was going through my head? But no worries I got it I was thinking as I drove to the pizza joint I will pick up the 10 or so pizzas that were ordered and head back no biggie its all good.

I have to say that this was sure fire recipe for nothing good...I am the shortest by far of any of my friends like I can even see over two boxes let alone 10? My short little arms were not made for pizza delivery? Uh hello?

I also have a sun fire like where am I gonna fit 10 boxes of pizza 4 bags of cheesy bread and 6 2-liter pop bottles...... ummmmmm hello hello??

I get to Ceasers and there are like all guys behind the counter and they are way cute despite their obvious age gap. I am thinking thank goodness I am dressed to be going to a party and don't have like just two pizzas to pick up. They will know I have friends and I am not going home to consume these pizzas by myself on my couch alone watching some cheesy love movie like Twilight or Dear John.... No I am Super Cooooool and pretty darn sexy tonight, yup I even flirted a little.... they were again too young but I was feeling pretty good about myself.....and a couple of them looked like Jacob or Edward or that Tatum kid... did I mention they were cute?

Karma is a mmmmmmm, I was cocky and she knew it.

I decided I would only make two trips so with like 4 boxes in my hands I am walking out some guy is holding the door for me but is also trying to get out the door he kinda cuts me off and I kinda get clipped by the door.

I am trying to correct my footing like dancing Ive got it, no way am I going down......hehehehehehe yup I am so going down.

I face planted it. It was perfect placement. If I am gonna do something I definitely do it right.

Rolled my ankle

Hands pinned (by the fact that Ive got 4 pizza, cause of course I am not gonna save my face that I just spent thousands of dollars to fix after the dumpster? No way dude I am saving that pizza I just flirted my butt off to get free cheesy bread for. )

Road burns to both knees

Pizza flat (like body indention flat all the way through to the very last box (however not one little bit of cheese landed outside the box...)

yup add a couple of boxes under this guys face and you have got me.... oh wait did I mention that the pizza joint is one big glass box?

yup add a couple of boxes and a big glass box of like 20ish people plus the cute young kids making the pizzas behind this guy and you have got me..... it was also 7ish prime time pizza buying hour... I kid you not like 20 people just in the pizza store were witness?!

Now you can and will come to the conclusion that after hitting curb I was, despite my effort in recent to try to stop swearing, about 45 seconds into a constant stream of muffled cheesy curses... I only add this part of the story because I had an Epiphany about myself. I am most like my father at Christmas under a flaky fake white Christmas tree with blue and silver glass ornaments when i am eating curb and pizza I am a swearing and it is something that I am sure I will pass on to at least one of my children.

I got up and slowly turned around after the moment I realized I wasn't crying swearing or laughing anymore and faced my audience....

Some of them were trying not to laugh and some of them were not....It was way funny and I do promise that if i had witnessed I would have run to help but could not promise that I wouldn't also be in tears with laughter... so if you are laughing now know that that is OK by me.

The cute boys in the pizza place baked me new pizzas and took all the rest of the pizzas to my car... delivery by Twilight cast isn't too bad for a small fall?

As i was at the party later retelling my mishap I had to stop as a suggestion of looking up the number to little ceasers and call was suggested to see if I could be lucky enough to have the footage caught on security video.... They swear if they can get their hands on it it will end up on YouTube....

Fingers crossed.......

this my friends is the end results.... hey wait a sec., I am just

now noticing how much my toes look like that ceaser guys?

hmmmmm maybe this story is funnier than I thought?

PS.... that night I had nightmares of falling into a big glass dumpster full of pizzas....

2010-03-04T00:59:00.000-08:00

soooooo the last blog entry got so many chuckles i thought id add some more and see if you all can think of who i am thinking of... i'll give you a couple of weeks to figure it out and than post the look alikes up....

2010-01-07T21:30:00.000-08:00

2009-11-17T02:03:00.000-08:00

For those of you who know me you know that I am not lacking in the luck,
unfortunately it has however never been that of the good kind. I have always been blessed to scrape by and have found the silver lining in all things endured for the most part anyway,
Well I would like to say that I really do think my past Luck has taken a turn and in hopes that this post wont jinks anything Id like to say I owe it all to New Moon and my new favorite music station WILD 101!!

!!!!I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON, I WON!!!!

I won tickets to see NEW MOON opening night for the premiere showing Thursday night... there will be Twilight, food, party, and then at midnight NEW MOON... and yes my friends did I mention I won tickets to it all?!

I am way more excited about this one than the first...Twilight was well, It was pure cheese!! But New moon... well DANG GINA they got to dump money into and the new cast members I think will make all the difference.

V!!!!!!

2009-11-03T00:20:00.000-08:00

I know I know I know,
I am way to into the sci-fi treky like craziness if i am choosing to blog about this new tv show but I have got to say that I am WAY excited about this and I will be like those thousands and thousands of CRAZY Twlight fans when the premeire comes out...(ive even set aside my night and have bought V approproiate treats for the event. The limit was with a costume... but dont think for a sec that if i didnt have one or some cheesy shirt i wouldnt be sporting it!!) Insert what ever clever and funny name fits here, I do not care!! I am soooooo waiting for this show! I totally love all of these actors and have seen many of the tv shows they have worked on so bonus!! plus the kid although he is a kid is way way hunky dreamy bad boy...Almost as cute as my party of 5 obsession/love Scott Wolf... Dang was he so sexy and I am happy they are bringing him back!! Plus smart move making the priest this time a way dream... ok I may be going to heck for that one... but come on isnt he? (insert what ever other names you have for me here...)

BUT the real reason I am excited is because I actually remember this mini-series from the 80's because it scared the crap out of me on a weekly basis and thus began my love affair of scarey movies...

I remember watching this show probally from the stairs when I thought my parents were not watching and I remember getting sooooo freaked out and than wishing that I was the scary lizard aliens. I dont think i ever thought the food looked too great little did I know that I would be eating things very simular years later on a mission.

I loved it when the creepy old guys skin fell off and all of a sudden every human freaked out!! I loved the cheesy 80's soap opera feel of the love story between lizard boy and human girl. I loved it when they opened their mouths and dang could fit a whole guinea pig... and I loved going to school the next day and telling all my friends who werent allowed to watch it all about what had happen with the visitors!!

Oh yes my friends I will be on that couch watching tomorrow at 8/7 central I will be loving every second and i will have my gummy rats waiting, and my party of five poster and I will be in heaven... ( and maybe maybe if you want to know Ill tell you what happened the next day!!)

2 week of ....

2009-10-27T00:19:00.000-07:00

I have fallen off the wagon...
I am not among the dieters...
I did it, tried it, beat myself up and well
I FAILED!!!

I did however manage to lose 4 pounds so I guess maybe
only giving it two week is not enough,
However in the last two days I
really have discovered that I love sugar
and carbs and that cutting out the
things that are bad for me will kill me faster
than getting fatter will.

Does that mean I am weak, perhaps?
but the fact that 5 people today in different conversations
and at different times have told me that I have
been in a bad mood for the past two weeks
made me realize that I am down right nasty
when I am dieting and so for the sake of many
I am coming off the diet.

Bring on the sugar, bring on the bread, and please, please
somebody bring me some chocolate!!!

Has anyone else noticed that DIE is almost the whole word Diet?

2009-10-12T01:11:00.000-07:00

So this last month a friend of mine pointed out that we
always eat out... and than suggested we stop doing it.
Fine by me I thought, I really don't have the money
to do it anyway might as well keep the money and use

it for it doing something else.

But what she suggested
next threw me for a loop....
How bout we Diet?

AAAAGGGHHHHH! Ummmm Heck No...
This is what was running in a Panic
around my mind shouting at me PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE TELL HER NO!!
Did i listen to myself? Of course not... and now i am
wondering if maybe the spirit was trying to guide
me at that point, because people i have to say
I am a MEAN DIETER!!!

nobody touch my food and nobody gets hurt!!

I have had my weak moments,
At lunch time the McDonald's across the street
(LITERALLY ACROSS THE STREET...)
taunts me.... DA DA DAT DA DA... I am not loving it!!!

And when i fill up my car at the Maverick
those cheesy hot dogs are calling me ...
Don't judge me they may sound gross but it brings
me back to my childhood memories of those cheesy
bit hot dogs... does anybody else remember those?

Worst of all is when i come home and my grandmothers
food closet just sits there and laughs at me.

Hey Mandirae you know we got what you need
cheese its and wheat thins with auntie Fara's cheese ball,
you want some oreo's or double dipped mint thins,
hot tamales are fat free don't ya know,
Baby Ruth's, Sugar Slices, and Good and Plenty's,
Brownie Mixes, Cake Mixes, Cheese cake too...
Swedish fish and Rice Crispy Treats...
I mean Dang Gina can you really not gain weight
living here?

But i resist, I am doing good...
I even have been on the tread mill.
I am working my way up from a slow crawl...
I was on the slowest speed huffing and puffing,
to a faster crawl...
and well I haven't cussed my friend out in my head in the
last two or three days...

Of course I blame this on my lack of energy due to the
no food thing and the lack of oxygen due to the huffing and puffing...
But i do have one question...

to all of you dieters...

Has anyone else ever prayed that their carrots
will taste like oreo's?

I guess when i am smoking hot i will be more grateful
until than i ll keep praying i make it through,
that and of course that my vegi's taste more like chocolate!!

Back to Boise and 137 cookies later...

2009-07-27T18:22:00.000-07:00

Did you know that Virgina is for lovers?... No really that is the state motto and with out knowing that, Va. is the state where I decided to be to well be with my soon to be lover...

What I have found is that Virgina at least in the last couple of months is full of CRAP!!

For lovers? I think not, not at least for me... However i did find that in my experience :

Virgina is for broken faces, camping in your car, unemployed, penny less people who are willing to wait for that lover part to happen and wait and wait and wait and wait...

So Back to Boise I go...

Yup I'm back.

I flew back for a job opportunity hoping to get to get back to Va in time for the loving...

and have found that Boise is not the state to be in for employment...

Hmmm I'm just striking out left and right.

Oh well at least I got cookies this last week...

Dinner at Grammies

Peanut butter cookies (137 of em) they lasted approx. 4 hours...

Boise the state of the depressed eater...

Yup that would look nice on a license plate or a big ol' bill board...

(attached is what i am now dubbing better than Va. lovers peanut butter cookies, recipe... hope you enjoy...add chocolate anything on top and it becomes better than...hehehe)

1/2
cup granulated sugar
1/2
cup packed brown sugar
1/2
cup peanut butter
1/4
cup shortening
1/4
cup butter or margarine, softened
1
egg
1 1/4

teaspoon baking soda
1/2

1/4
teaspoon salt
1.
Mix
Heat oven to 375ºF.
Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes

please note for severely broken faces, lack of kissing, or lack of money please times recipe by about 11 times and don't feel bad about eating entire contents while watching some cheesy chick flick where the girl gets the guy.

warning not recommend to actually eat all 11 batches of cookies as this may cause entire body swelling...

Broken Face

2009-06-07T16:10:00.000-07:00

Here it is folks my beautiful face!!

It was a long hard battle and in the end i came out well broken and defeated.

Sorry dad all that Gene Coder basement karate did not help against the big and bad fight of the dumpster...

I got "slammed" literally into the rim of a dumpster by the lid of a dumpster. I didnt see it coming and after couldnt see anything but stars!!

I had a good laugh at the er trying to explaining it...it was good that Janna was with me so my story was backed up.

Anyway there will be more pictures as my nose will be worked on and fixed to look more like it did before the lid came down on it.

And if anyone has any suggestions on whose nose to switch out for my own im up for suggestions!!

Toto we arent in Adna anymore?!! Hey Toto do some of our new neighbors look the same?

2009-05-16T14:24:00.000-07:00

Hey so sorry for all the waiting .... I am here in Va,

I have a buttload of pictures in this particular blog so if you feel like Chirs in that "if you dont take a picture to document it, than it still happened", well you really dont need to read on. However if you are like me or any of my scrapbooking family (love you mom) Than a picture for everything is very, very necessary and if you dont have proof than whats the point in even showing up with a camera?!!

I showed up with the camera and I bought the correct ammount of Mt Dew, Dr Pepper, Chocolate, Chips, Oreos, Redvines, Doughnuts, Gum, and what ever else was on the shelf with caffinee, I am ready for this road trip!! Or at least ready until the next stop...

Oh and yes Mr 7-11 man, I also have Gas... Grammie knows what im talking about. She is the one who taught me how good it feels to have gas!

The above picture is me(of course it is me who else could pull off the blue head band with the kermit the frog jacket and still look so sexy!! this picture is for you matt!!)

So we are on the road, I had picked up mel after a long (about 8 hours longer than it should have been... took a detour to Rexburg on the way to SLC) We stopped to have lunch with Auntie Fara Marki and Chad...mmmm...good stuff... Any way we get on the road and are all ready to have some huge adventures, about 12 hours later and still in Wy we decide that we got to do some thing crazy or go insane. Checking out the map we find this spot for Saratoga Springs Hot Springs... Skinny Dipping!! Should have known when we couldnt find the road off the main highway that it would be kinda children of the corn creepy? Here is the road in... Literally gated off. Do we stop and turn around? Heck NO We Dont!!

Hobo pool...What the Crap? Since When do you put a Building up over a hot spring...There goes the skinny dipping plan, Oh well i Guess i always knew there was something wrong with a thing that was so poorly Named. I mean come on.. Skinny Dipping? Mean stupid name. It just makes me as a Chubby activist want to rename it and bring it back as Fat Dunking. I was so sad about not getting to go that i almost wasnt creeped out by the town, Did i mention it was gated....

There were no windows on any of the buildings... I swear!! I was really freaking out!! So if you take a road trip, go to see the scary town but cross Fat dunking off the list of things to do in Wy.

Here is the first Hotel that we planned on staying in did i mention the lack of windows... I was laughing when we realized that and the fact that it was right over a bar, PERFECT! Only slightly better then the Rest stops we were forbidden to sleep at!

Along the way through Wy we hit some snow and it was drive 10 feet stop and take the ice off your wind sheild wipper, drive 10 feet and stop to take the ice off your wind sheild wipper, stop and you get it right? By the third time stopping we should have been to afraid to drive or at least smart enough to stop...we did stop to get a picture...we were laughing so hard!!

Hotel #2. Wy has some serious window issues... the windows are all boarded up and the rooms are all up stares...Hmm yup I know we promised no Rest stops but Id rather sleep in the car!!

Sorry bout this picture just thought youd want to see what i was seeing all night long... Beautimus!!

New York all ready? Shoot I thought it be taller?

This picture is for grammie, Who needs to stop at the biggest ball of Twine? NO WAY WE STOP FOR CABELAS!!

Yes we did stop at the worlds birth place of Ronald Regan, John Wyane, John deere Green and of course Cabelas!

Why you ask? FOR THE BEST FREAKIN FUDGE YOU EVER DID HAVE!! (I think we got like 6 pounds of fudge!!)

Hows that fudge Bert? Better than just about anything you ever put in your mouth huh? alittle be of fudgy heaven in a box? would you even say Fudge-a-lious? HMMMM... Id have to concour!!

Motel #3 ...Did You say the Bates Motel? and check out the classic M out of order... Did I mention how nice the rest stops are through Wy?

We were driving out to see the old Dutch Wind Mill and out in this field was Buffalo? It looked so real that we had to stop and make sure...

So real it even had real "boy" parts Mel and I were rolling when we walked around and noticed the Artist really wanted to get all his bits and peices right?!!

This house was pretty cool too... right next to the Buffalo was the Buffalo Dung house? (I dont really know what it was made of but it was cool I just didnt want to touch it)

This cute little old lady asked us if we wanted a picture TOGETHER WITH THE BUFFALO... So sweet...Where is the Buffalo? Who is that in the Picture?

Another cool stop was the Pony Express. This is where it all started folks!! Way amazing out in the middle of this tiny town...

The full view... Did anybody see KNOWING... just saw it the week before going to the pony express and well right here at the pony express is a rock (you can see it here in the bottom right) with a time capsule that is to be opened next year... I laughed so hard and figured Id be coming back for sure, I mean if the world is gonna come to an end and winged alien angel freaky thingies are gonna take me away to the tree of life I wanna be there and fake the whole I can hear them thing to get a ticket on that Noah the ark version of a UFO...i will even bring my own darn rabbit.

Speaking of freaky angels. So it was late again and we were needing something to see at like 1 am when we pass this thing on the highway up on a hill and its all glass and like 4 stories high and glowing kinda weird but what ever. We needed to fill up on gas and Dr Pepper and Oreos so what the heck right. We pull off on the next exit to the "Holy Family Shrine". So I am telling you Wy Iowa... they for sure have the children of the corn thing down... FOR SURE!! Its late and I still want to drive up and see it cause I am thinking Crazy lite up clear bldg. May be cool like the ball of twine? Holy Crzy is more like it. BIG EMPTY GLASS TOWER OF NOTHING... and Not a way to get into it? Creepy for sure! No statues or Christis or anything. Should I mention that Mel wont get out of the car it is sooo creepy. I am out there by myslef investigating this and i find the way to get in....see below

it is this little glass sliding door into a cave that has this huge mound of dirt like a tunnel to the creepy glass bldg. I couldnt see anything else? it was so weird!!

Well what can top that?

You guessed it, next town and the stop we made for some junk and supplies for driving... and a quick stop at the Council Bluffs Police Dept. So convient, shop for anything food electronics hunting gear house hold items and pay your tickets right in the local walmart?! What is even better is the two guys in front trying to get support for the local police station... So they can what buy a better station house?

You know what happens when you have no plans on a road trip? You see signs for a wind mill in the MIDDLE OF THE US for a Dutch Wind mill and you have to HAVE TO stop.

This was a good stop though, look at it!! So cool!!

Yes look at the shirts!! Twilight and Wicked!! This old wind mill was soooo cool!!

We even got to climb up it and outside on the little railing. Did I mention i am so afraid of heights? I totally peed my pants and well it wasnt because i was sick...

Yup REALLY REALLY afraid of heights. I think we were not even a full story up.

do you see the pure joy on my face going down the stairs?

LOVE THIS PICTURE... There is this random statue of a viking? with a bumper sticker that says "ive been thru the mill in elkhorn Iowa" got a kiss that!!

And on the way out of there you have to stop and see the only mermaid in iowa? cause there was soooo much water around of course iowa is the first place i would think to put up a statue of "the" "little mermaid"

it is a really cool statue in a fountian with no water, how fitting...

I just loved this on the front of this old truck we found where we parked.. yes the back horse is well he is really happy the girl horse is in front of him!! Only in Iowa!!

Bridges of Maddison County... one of the actual bridges it is beautiful... you would have thought the movie would have been a little more interesting?

check it out!!

see in foucs and you can see part of the bridge, thank you little cute old lady but we will be taking our own pictures from here on out.

I really liked this bridge huh?

Iowas rest stops...

Almost didnt make it!!

Yes this is a Manly street... JOHN WAYNE DR...

Right in the same county as the bridges is the birth place of the coolest manly man of all ...JOHN WAYNE!!

I dont think you can see it but like everything in this town is named after him and well kinda

looks like one of his old movie sets? it was amazing and how cool would it be to say, you live in Hawaii, shoot thats nothing I live where John Wayne was born...yeah that would be Sweet!!

With that note That is the 1st part to my adventures on to Va...

More to come...

2009-04-27T16:45:00.000-07:00

I am here in Va!! Just a little note to anybody who reads this...

I am sure I will be doing better here in the future with keeping up.

Ive got some great stories with my many adventures moving over and

where ive ended up and even better who is in the two mile radius of my

new home.

Life is crazy when you are a Coder so like i said just a little note but i will

update this!!

Just 10 things that make you go hmmmm?

2009-01-07T02:10:00.000-08:00

SO I was recently watching some wonderful late night boob tube with my sister and mother when this ad came on the TV.

( I love it when something comes on that I really do think that I might like or could use...
I am an avid reader. I love nothing more than to sit in front of a fire on a cold night and read an entire book just because I can. )

So when a portable electric heating device came up I was intrigued, Never mind that I have not the means to purchase this beautiful hand crafted appliance. I was impressed that it could heat an entire room with a light bulb yet it was cold to the touch ruling out the accidental bump and burn.
I was delighted with the fact that it could be wheeled from one room to the next doubling or tripling your reading room experiences,
(you want to read in the bathroom but its cold in there? no problem!! In the bedroom where the vent is stuck closed... No worries!! Or in the kitchen where the heat just doesn't heat well enough GO FOR IT!! And last but certainly not least in the garage where no sane person would think to heat because that would be a waste of heat? well don't you fret my friend!!)
Everything about this portable fireplace was amazing....

Everything that is except who makes them...
These ingenious inventions are made by the Amish!!!!

And there is where I knew it was too good to be true.

Like I am gonna buy something electric built by someone who can never use electricity? What where the Amish smoking when they came up with this?

And that got me thinking .....

What else is just too stupid to be true.... 10 things that make me go hmmmm...

#2.

UM MM did anybody else watch the MTV documentary following Britney's come back?

the whole Ive changed and I'm not crazy anymore ... I love my boys and I don't want to be associated with bad things like before? I admit she had me going until 5 minutes after the documentary, with the debut of womanizer... way to change for your boys!!

I don't get it she is the kinda idol that is plastered all over the media... her and others like Miley Cyrus...

I mean just look at the latest lyrics she sings...(Miley that is)

Every week's the same,

stuck in school, so lame

My parents say that I'm lazy

Getting up at 8 A.M's crazy

Tired of being told what to do,

so unfair, so uncool

The day's too long and I'm holding on

Till I hear the bell ring's cause

that's the time when we're gonna

Time when we're gonna Breakout!

Let the party start We're gonna stay out,

gonna break some hearts

We're gonna dance 'til the dance floor falls apart Uh oh,

all over again We're gonna wake up everyone we know

We're gonna have some fun,

gonna lose control It feels so good to let go-o-o

Hanging outs just something we like to do

My friends and the mess we get into

These are the lessons that we chose

Not a book full of things we'll never use.......

Yup I don't get it?

#3. I don't even need to go any where with this the picture is all that is needed........

hmmmmmm.... what ever happened to the good old

fashioned after school specials that scared you senseless and convinced

you that all this crap really is bad for you? I almost hate TV enough to

not watch it anymore....almost.

#4. Ok growing up I was always sad that I couldn't have a "real pet" Something that could cuddle with you, fetch things for you, play with. You know something that could really love you back. But with a parent that was allergic to anything resembling hair fur feathers or really skin it was hard to find anything fitting the above description. That being said it was frogs, and turtles, and fish for most of my childhood. And I do have to admit that was OK because when they came out with the hypo dog I, Well I was a little afraid:

doesn't she just scream love me I'm cuddly?

#5. SPAM. It wasn't until my mission and that I learned not only is there the orinal spongy mystery meat but the mystery flavor mystery meat. Can anyone really taste the difference of Spam or Spam Garlic or Spam BBQ or my favorite Spam with Cheese... which is little more than mystery meat with mystery processed what in the crap is that?

#6. The sad thing about this next one is I do remember buying these when I was a kid....

Please, Please,Please.... Strawberry flavored? Dang Gina!! I mean comon'

Don't know which is worse but at least the next ones would taste so bad a kid wouldn't want to have another, the candy cigarettes should have been bacon flavored, would have cured me of ever thinking they might be cool in real life!! (there is a following disclaimer especially meant for my mother... I may have thought it might be cool but I NEVER DID SMOKE A CIGARETTE!! I stuck to the candy ones only!!)

#7... I never did get the dried food anything...

dried fruit kinda freaks me out although i love dried mango's i don't like prunes raisins apples or anything that when it dries wrinkles... its just too weird to eat something that looks like an old persons skin, That just kinda , like i said it freaks me out.

#8 EGGS!!

I will eat an egg occasionally, but it has to be cooked in something else or with something to hide the reminder of the egg. I think it may be a mental thing but I just cant get the idea that it was not too long ago that it shot out of a chickens butt....that mental picture it wont get out of my head?! Go figure!! (I am so sorry if I have ruined eggs for anyone who just read that.)

#9. 80's Fashion....

80s hair... side pony, rodent or water foul, new wave shaved short on one side left long on the other, Uncle Jesse's not quite a mullet mullet, the I'm closer to heaven than you bangs, the butt crack in the back look, and the 80s punk hawk,

Eye shadow was a must the crazier the color the better, up the brow in electric blue do you remember that? and the guys got into it too Boy George really started something...thank goodness it didn't stick?!!

Clothing...just a few things I loved and wore when i didn't know better ...leg warmers, parachute pants, neon anything, acid washed jeans, ankle socks with open toed shoes, swatch watches, jellies, puffy sleeved dresses and army boots, and my personal fave the magic color hyper color clothing. ( these were horrible for women to wear who were busty with out fail those were the first things to change colors?!! wore mine once and had to give em to my brothers!! )

Sad thing was I thought I was soooo Hot! Well .... Punky Brewster would have been proud on any given day that I walked out of the house!!

But looking back I really don't understand the fashion statements from that era at all... not at all!!

#10. C C & the music factory...

Sponge Bob Ain't got nothing on Fragle Rock!!

2008-10-04T04:10:00.000-07:00

.......

So Today I watched cartoon's with my brother's kids and I was fascinated when we pulled up Netflix (Thank you April...) and they wanted to watch Inspector Gadget and not the Wiggles.
And that well it got me thinking I had some good entertainment growing up!!

And ....
Have you ever wondered which cartoon characters' from then could kick today's cartoon butt?
I have to say these new cartoons and TV show for kids don't got nothing on the good ol' stuff I was brought up on.

Can I get an amen?

For real though... If you have kids and are subject to Dora and Barney and The Wiggles, I am so sorry!! I am ashamed to admit even the older kids' stuff like suite life, avatar, and Fairly odd parents,Mighty B's... is just kinda hard to watch.

Where do people come up with these shows? Are the writer's all like 18? Did they never watch "Real Cartoons".... your only saving grace is that now some Movies for kids do have stuff written in for the adults!!
But they Just don't make good entertainment in children's TV shows anymore.

It would be a sad, sad thing to have to grow up now... I remember when Saturday Morning Cartoons were a part, neigh they were a ritual, of a young child's weekly routine!!
And I do have to admit it was probably the only time I did not complain or argue with my mother to get up before noon on a day off from school.

I would get up in time to be sure to see Jem...
I for some reason Loved that show and looking back it was a perhaps a little too old for me.

Did anybody else catch the episode where Jem kissed her boyfriend RIO. (I do mean the actual episode because it was also a part of the opening... Good Stuff!!)

This cartoon is more than likely the cause for my infatuation for boys with longer hair and blue hair.
I like blue hair. I haven't yet met a boy with actual blue hair but when I do if he is Mormon and if it is long and if he is single and working and over 25 and...OK OK I'm just joking, but if I do find some guy who would be willing to dye his hair for my Jem situation, I would more than likely marry that boy!!
Jem WAS excitement!!

Following Jem you had the Snorks...good stuff even if it was a cheep knock off of smurfs under water. I loved the smurfs!!
I just could never figure out why there was only one girl...Hmmm?

And then Punky Brewster. Does anybody but me remember the Punky cartoon?
Most of my fashion sense came from Soleil Moon. She was a genius, and I have to say I do believe that she was ahead of her time... not only did she miss match her socks but also her shoes...which was sheer brilliance!! You double your footwear when you take on the Brewster wardrobe challenge...and who honestly can say that they have enough foot ware?
....
Yes my friends you can look at me even now and still find some of Punky and Rainbow Brite...My fashion sense came from both of them. Man anybody who can wear every color of the rainbow two different shoes and ride on a huge white horse and not look stupid is AMAZAZING!!

Infact I think I wore my hair in a side pony for like months that and those multi-colored leg warmers all to be more like Rainbow Brite and Punky.
But I am so glad that they didn't have digital camera's back then.

I also loved Strawberry shortcake it always seemed to be on after rainbow brite colors and foods the perfect pair in real life and on tv.
Who doesn't like a show about kids who smell like their fav. desserts though? Her cat was precious and all the kids had pets who smelled just as good as they did. Too bad they didn't depict that a little truer to life. I may not want a dog so badly even now if this show had a little side kick that smelled like actual crap in stead of raspberry pie, shortcake or lemon candies?

Care Bears and Care a lot Cousins were on next. I think that the Mother (actual mother I am writing about cartoons guys, geesh) who came up with this cartoon probably had some children with some real anger and hitting issues cause I don't remember a single episode that didn't have something about "I love you" and "take care" and "don't be mean" in it
... Its like Prozac in liquid cartoon form. Which is good I never wanted to hit or bit or say mean things to anybody after watching this show. That and I always had a overwhelming urge to hug somebody. Go figure?!

Spider man Superman and Batman definitely staples no need to go any further as I do believe they have endured and would be found on your cartoon lineup today.
But whatever happened to He-Man, Shera, Thunder cats, GI Joe, and Mr T?

Listen Up Fool!! You ain't watched any good cartoons if there isn't a clad-ly dressed superhero...
I don't believe any superhero's from the 80's at least none listed above owned any shirts?

Maybe Shera, but I don't think she ever wore it either?

Next came Kid Vid...Nothing like our generation.
You don't like to exercise? No worries we will invent the Nitendo and Sega.
And playing like 40 hours of video games a week so that your complexion turns 3 shades lighter isn't enough for you, let me introduce the cartoon to give your thumbs a little brake... Kid Vid!!

He does all the work you just sit back and watch for the next 30 minutes or so. Gotta love that he kicks some video butt in every episode too!!

I loved the Little's, Where it didn't matter how big you were you could still do big stuff.
Man that show was written for me. It gave me hope that even if I didn't hit 5 feet it would still be OK!! That and it just always seemed so cool when they wrote out notes with that giant pencil...
I always wanted me a giant pencil....A boyfriend with blue hair and a giant pencil....

Of course it wouldn't be Saturday morning with out Jim. Muppet babies (because grown up Muppet's were for babies...goodbye sesame st, Hello baby Kermit.)
Fraggle Rock ...I really, really did leave my worries for another day when watching this favorite show ( I own the series on DVD!!)
and Pryor's Place...I learned the sax because of that show!! (it came on right after dungeons and dragon's)

And then came on the Wuzzles and Adventures of the Gummi bears followed by Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers and don't forget Duck tales and Tale Spin.

All of which helped Zach and Grahm in debate and History so much more than our Amazing Teachers at Adna Middle/High School.
I always knew that Disney was sneaky trying to pour education in what should be a brainless Saturday activity!!

There was Karate Kid and Alf and Hulk Hogan's Rocking Wrestling cause you just couldn't get enough of the real versions.
My little ponies and Pound Puppies, Scoobie Doo and Scrappy too.
Transformers and X-Men. Pink Panther and sons, Looney toons when they were kids...

and those weird little black dog/rodent guys. Geesh what was the name of that show I can't remember, but Pinky and the Brain got their own episodes because they were on it...
and I remember it cause the song about the capital's of the world helped out later in life. Oh and it was a crack up when he burped a song about what now I can't remember.

Simpson's which dad would watch with us when mom wasn't looking, and which also died in our house the day she finally sat down and did watch it...but now I'm just rambling cause I think it was on on Sunday night and not Saturday morning....
Anyway the point of this blog is that I watched way too much TV as a kid, but only cause it was better than most of the stuff that is on now.
That and the fact that I was impressed that My brother's kids would know good TV when they saw it....

2008-10-04T00:08:00.000-07:00

Everything comes down to....

2008-09-09T21:54:00.000-07:00

Please note that the following blog is not suitable for all reading audiences:

Those with week stomach and faint constitutions need not read on.

The following blog is rated PG...
Poop Guaranteed.

Ive been spending some time with doctors and in medical facilities in the last little while and I would love to share some of my findings with those of you may not have any medical experience so that when and if you are ever in a situation where you may need to ask is that possible you will remember the oh-so-wise blog you read and may respond, well yes it is.

1.) Toothpaste burns!! Most of the time worse than salt...

2.) Pain Killers can kill pain and your ability to think before you speak...

3.) You can vomit poo....Yes you can and I have the web pages to prove it.

So here you go 3 funny stories that will make you laugh cry and wet your pants.

Story 1
I am sick, this is not so much funny but the memories I have obtained have been hilarious!!

A couple of months ago I had been going through some treatments that made me really raw when i urinated. (kinda gross to know but stay with me it gets better i promise) About the same time I had been to the dentist and asked for some better toothpaste as this treatment also causes me to vomit and I was worried about throwing up and it ruining my teeth (I really do promise you will laugh)

So for the raw I get this cream in a blue and white tube that stands on its head not too big but obviously cream.
And for the teeth I get this toothpaste in a blue and white tube that stands on its head, not too big but obviously, well actually it looks like a tube of cream...

One night as I woke up to use the rest room I was half awake and paying no kind of attention to what I was doing, except that I needed to add more cream when I was done.

I will tell you what, I didn't know that I could yell that loud!! And then also laugh so hard.
...This is where you should have figured out that what I used was not cream....

Story number 2
And this one has a warning never never never take pain medication and then go to church where they may have a testimony meeting.
Yes I did this and yes looking back it is a pretty funny story. I do now think that there should also be a warning on the labels of all prescription bottles: Do not share any personal information while taking. Kinda like driving or using heavy machinery.
One fast and testimony meeting I decided to get up and bear my testimony about the things I was going through. It could have been a really great one too except the things I were going through on that particular week was the possibility of menopause.
Maybe I should mention that I was in a singles ward and you know that really kinda kills any chance of a date in the next week.

Story number 3
I recently had a biopsy done. Minor little surgery not too big of a deal. Usually I get medication after these to help with regularity. After the last on however, Nada. I really didn't think much about it until about 4 days later. Some slight cramping nothing too bad I made a mental note to talk to my doctor about it and put it out of my head. The next day I started to throw up more than usual and the smell I kid you not Like POO!! Well I was freaking out and of course trying to call my doctor with no answer did not help. I was with April, thank goodness!! Because her mom is a nurse and I did not believe that you can vomit poop. OK this may not be so funny yet, but the web page I was directed to you gotta check this out. I was rolling on the floor.
http://www.poopreport.com/
look in the section on vomiting poop...
You know what cures constipation? Laughing!!

I really and truely believe Laughter is the best medicine, especially if you use it instead of cream.

The Duck Whispererer....

2008-08-19T23:48:00.000-07:00

So this weekend has been an eventful one for me!

Get self ready for move to St George ...check

Start packing .....check

Get ready for Mom and Cortni to come...check

Round up loose ducks in the back yard,

Pick up loose ducks in back yard and throw loose ducks in back yard over the fence so they can be closer to the pond in back yard...check

I think I finally know how Elmer Fudd feels as he is going out to hunt Daffy Duck...

I was sitting in the basement and I was getting ready to dye my cousins hair a little darker after she had a nasty run in with some bleach...(but that is another story)
We were down stairs and my "udder" cousin and his almost 2year old are in the back playing at the edge of the fence. Cute enough but not enough to get me outside until I hear everyone coming down stairs to go out. So I pop my head out to see what all the commotion is for.

Andy and Zachy out chasing a whole lot of ducks!

I am thinking awwweeee cute until it dawns on me that there are like 8 ducks in the back yard.
Andy is trying to wrangle them into a corner so we can get them over the fence and I am just laughing.

We finally decided it would be better to try together to get them through the hole in the fence and back to their pond home on the other side. So we get them to this crack in the fence but there is mesh on the other side and those ducks are having none of it.

After couple of tense poultry moments and several orange duck recipes running through my head we both realized this was never gonna happen and so I start to run right at these ducks, trying to get them over to Andy and he just out of no where pounces.

My initial reaction was oh no dead duck!! But sure enough with one swift swoop Andy had caught that bird by the neck and flung him over the fence.

I do have to say that after that it was much easier to get the little birdies and get them safely home. We had a real system...but still I was amazed at my cousins mad duck skills. I would have never guessed a man could be so quick it was kinda like watching Mr Miyagi with those magic chopsticks and the fly. Only he didn't have chopsticks and it was a duck.

He will from now on be the Duck whisperer' to me.

....... There is a part two to this story.

The next day I was in the basement again and my Auntie Lorna was down there too she knocked on my door to ask if I could help her with something.

She took me into the other bedroom in the basement and asked me if I could see what was in her window.

....You know those windows in the basements that are there if there is ever a fire so you can crawl out and if you are as short as I am wait 40 more seconds before you are burned alive cause you still cant reach high enough to pull yourself to safety....

As I looked out the window what do you think I found? TWO MORE DUCKS!!

And you would think that it would be easier to capture those ducks when they really couldn't go anywhere huh? Sad to say without the duck whisperer' I had not really the skills.

It took me forever to run those ducks down, round and round we went in this tiny window "hole".

Finally I got a towel and captured those stupid ducks, and sent them back over the fence where they belonged.

...Please note that besides the occasional loss of bodily functions from said ducks no actual ducks where harmed in our great duck round up of 2008....

I blame it on my brothers!!

2008-08-17T02:15:00.000-07:00

So I am single and I have no kids...and I really have not a clue how to write a blog without the cute little kid stories, but its like 3 in the morning ...
(does that really sound like I am trying to write some sad and corny country music song?)
...and I have just been looking at my Brother's Blog Pages ( I go on their pages every once in awhile because they never send me pictures of their kids )

Any way I was looking and thinking to myself I can do that!!

So I set up a page came up with a clever name...(this is harder than you think, those old women who think its cute to give themselves grandma names!! Darn them for stealing my name!!)

I'm getting myself all ready to write out something clever and funny and it dawns on me, I am not really funny or clever, What in the crap was I thinking...(please refer back to the top of the page and the fact that it was 3 am when I started my first attempt at this blogging thing!!)

I am blaming my brothers, with their funny stories, their cute kids and the pictures that they don't ever send me!! All those clever witty blogs!! Do you hear me I blame you for giving me this crazy craving to write out my sad and pathetic life in a way that someone would actually sit down and choose me over their emails and facebook and solitaire!!

What will I write about that will be both entertaining and make you want to come back for more?

I guess In my first post I am going to have to do what any respectable 1st time blogger would do who is neither funny or clever!! I'm gonna have to steal material from a professional and so with out further adieu....I am gonna tell you about my name and have you play a game.... (I would like to take time out and give a personal thank you to the blog who I stole the name game from, a remarkably genius blogger seriously thank you Gwen Stoker you both amaze and inspire me to be a better blogger even if you have no clue who I am...)

MeeMoe comes from the Popular Latin Word "Medicatus"

Which in translation means to charm or enchant,

Actually I have been Meemoe for forever now to my Brothers, I think Zach had a hard time with my name and so was born MeeMoe!!!
