Glenn Beck quote of the day...

"It's not about left and right, it's about right and wrong."

Breckenridge...

71 Days until ski trip....
(Not that I'm counting)

Written by a Glenn Beck fan...

"Once upon a time there was a very happy couple. Their names were freedom and capitalism. They married and had many wonderful children. Their names were independence, self-worth, hard work, dignity, charity, faith and hope. They all lived happily for many years and the children respected their parents and loved them both very much. But freedom and capitalism later had several naughty children, very naughty. They weren't so respectful and never appreciated their parents. Their names were wealth envy, environmentalism, animal rights activism, racism, feminism, ultra liberalism. These evil children blamed their parents for everything and hated their parents' freedom and capitalism. In fact, these unappreciative children began to hate their parents since they didn't realize their parents gave them everything they had and didn't realize that they wouldn't even exist without their parents. They hated their parents so much, they began to plot with their neighbors to kill their parents and to keep their home. Their neighbors' names were socialism and communism who on the outside were a very lovely couple but inside they were very, very ugly. They and their children, whose names were despair, poverty, suffering, and repression had been welcomed into every neighborhood they had lived in. But then thrown out after years of suffering and the loss of many lives. So late one night in total darkness because socialism and communism did everything in darkness and the way from the light of the truth, while everyone was asleep, wealth envy, environmentalism, feminism, animal rights, by their younger obnoxious brother, Hollywood, disguised by socialism and communism and let them into the house, freedom and capitalism. It wasn't hard for the two parents, freedom and capitalism, always left their gates and their door open for everyone. Wealth led the way because he knew the house oh, so well. The evil children led socialism and communism throughout the house, one room at a time. And one at a time they killed hard work, then dignity, then independence, self-worth, charity and faith. They finally found the room of freedom and capitalism and killed them as well. It wasn't hard to do, since freedom and capitalism always left their door unlocked and open for everyone. Only hope survived. Hope survived hiding in the closet. She ran out during the ensuing celebration. After socialism and communism moved in, things went well for a while but then they decided they didn't like freedom and capitalism's evil children, either. They wanted their own children to have the rooms in their new house. So late one night in total darkness because socialism and communism did everything in darkness and away from the light of the truth, they sent their children to kill freedom and capitalism's remaining evil children. Poverty and suffering killed environmentalism and animal rights first, for they were so hungry, they had to kill all the animals for food and the trees for their wood. And besides, why should animals have rights if people don't? Hopelessness killed liberalism, the retarded brother of communism. Then poverty, suffering, and repression killed feminism. The retarded sister of liberalism. And Hollywood, the young obnoxious son of freedom and capitalism, was also killed. Finally, wealth envy, who led the attack on his parents, died at the hands of poverty since there was nothing left to envy.
So socialism and communism and their children, poverty, despair, hopelessness, suffering, repression lived in the once beautiful home of freedom and capitalism which was now in great disrepair and they all lived sadly ever after. All that was left of the family of freedom and capitalism was hope who was quietly hiding in the woods.

Halo 3

I am obsessed with this game, what is wrong with me? I was up until 3 am the other night playing online. Okay seriously, it's fun. But maybe it's because I have played Halo from day one and I am evolving with it. I know there is obviously a problem though. I am mother of two playing against like 10-15 year olds. To me it's like therapy. I can get all my frustrations out by killing these little adolescents. Hey at least I didn't get the head set, that would be a little too overboard. Even though I was contemplating it. Ha!

Santa Claus

Alright I am not really sure if it is spelled clause or claus. I guess I never really thought about it before. Anyways, I took the kids to see Santa yesterday. They were so excited. As soon as Ava saw him, she bursted into tears. She did not want to sit on his lap. So, I had to sit next to santa and hold Ava on my lap and duck behind Mr. Claus. They did pretty good in hiding me out of the picture. But Ava was not happy and did not want to smile. After we left, Logan got upset and asked," why didn't Santa ask me what I wanted for Christmas? Now he'll never know what to get me." So I explained to him that I already told Santa for him. He felt a little relieved but later told me I should give him a call and remind him.

Glenn Beck

Okay, so for those of you who don't know, I obviously have an infatuation with Glenn Beck. I have to prepare you for what you are about to read seems pretty nerdy I know. So I listen to fox news every morning on am radio (dork, I know). Glenn Beck has a program on from 9-11. But before him is Mandy Connell. She was asking a trivia question about Glenn Beck on the radio. The first caller with the correct answer gets a signed copy of his new book, "The Christmas Sweater." I was that person. I called in and got the answer right and went to pick up my signed book later that morning. I couldn't wait to read it. I read it in two days. Well this morning I hear that Glenn Beck decided to come to Fort Myers for a book signing. He is doing a show in Tampa tonight in which the tickets sold out. So I drive right over to the book store and waited in line to meet him and have him sign my already signed book again. I was number 259. When he arrived, he said that he will not: personalize signatures, pose for a photo, or shake hands. One arm was signing while the other was in a sling. (I missed why) So when I finally got up there. I snatched a pic with my phone. He started talking to me and I was such in awe, I don't even remember what he said. And he didn't really talk to anyone except for a , "Hi." Well one of his team members almost gave my book to the person in front of me until I noted, "I believe that one is mine, it has already been signed once." Then Glenn put down his marker and came around to shake my hand. I explained to him how I already had it signed and he replied, "God bless you." along with a wink. We had a moment, I know. So I was so excited afterwards, I made a few phone calls and not one person even knew who he was. That was dissapointing. Well whatever, it made my day! Those of you who don't know should get in the know!

Glenn Beck quote of the day...

Good for you, you have a heart, you can be a liberal. Now, couple your heart with your brain, and you can be a conservative."

Thanksgiving 2008

Turkey day!!!

Well Turkey day is on it's way. Thanksgiving that is. The kids each made lots of goodies at school and said what they were thankful for. Logan was thankful for his family and his dog and his lunch I make him everyday. Ava was thankful for ballerinas.

Tata for now, I have lots of cooking to catch up on.

Ski Trip

Yay! Everything is booked! I am looking forward to hitting the slopes in February with those of you who are lucky enough to be included. The only thing that sucks is waiting until then... I'm ready now! Oh and did I mention our house is like 10,500 ft. elevation?

Girls day out...

So I think I could be creating a diva. Actually I know I am and I think it may already be too late to change. I am talking about my little princess, see there I go, I should have just said Ava. We had a girls day yesterday. The boys played golf while the girls went shopping. She loves it WAY TO MUCH. And I can't say the apple falls far from the tree. I was the same way when I was her age and still am. So I am sympathetic to whomever she marries. The whole purpose of the shopping trip was to get Ava & Logan a few more winter clothes. They outgrow everything every season. Must be nice, new wardrobe every season. Well I was right on track with Logan and got exactly what he needed. Ava however is another story. She made out like a bandit and sweet talked me the whole way. Looking back, I can't believe she already outwitted me. I mean she got stuff she totally didn't need. Like another ballerina tutu. I mean she already has three. More skinny jeans, she's catching up to me. She was lucky they didn't have her size in all the shoes she wanted. She loves flats! An leggings, c'mon. I swear she must have every color and pattern possible. She has a closet to make any 3 year old girl envious. And that's the thing, she's only 3. She ended up with: skinny jeans, cords, leggings, tutu, scarves, pajamas, panties, holiday dress, headbands, shoes, long sleeve shirts, short sleeved shirts, sweatshirt, pea coat, gloves, hats, socks, and some Hello Kitty stuff. Well, when I finally got out of there, she of course was hungry and wanted a milkshake. What else could I do right, I just had to top it off. So I was proceeding to go through a drive-thru until she was begging me please, "let's go to a restaurant." So...what Ava wanted, she got. Oh, and the whole time she is constantly re-applying her Tinkerbell lip gloss. Now I guess I have some serious toughening up to do!

Hooties vs. Willies

Hooties vs. Willies

A family is at the dinner table. The son asks his father, 'Dad, how many
kinds of boobs are there?'

The father, surprised, answers, 'Well, son, a woman goes through three
phases. In her 20s, a woman's boobs are like melons, round and firm. In
her 30s to 40s, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit. After
50, they are like onions'. 'Onions?'

'Yes, you see them and they make you cry.'

This infuriated his wife and daughter, so the daughter said, 'Mom, how

many kinds of 'willies' are there?' The mother, surprised, smiles and
answers, 'Well dear, a man goes through three phases also. In his 20s,
his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his 30s and 40s, it
is like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his 50s, it is like a
Christmas tree'.



'A Christmas tree?' 'Yes --- dead from the root up and the balls are
just for decoration

How to create a fabulous holiday party...

Funny...

Barrack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey were flying on Obama's
private plane. Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, 'You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.'
Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy. Michelle added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.' Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, 'Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of their a**es out of the window and make 56 million people very happy.' If you're one of those 56 million, pass this on!!!

How to save money this year on christmas gifts...

Bailout Bust!

So they lied to us again. Surprise surprise! That $700 Billion bailout went to buying stock in the banks. It didn't help pay mortgages like it was suppose too. So what's the solution? Oh, why they are asking for more money to actually pay the morgages this time beacuse they screwed up. AIG who received a large bulk, went on about their business and paid for a luxury all expenses paid conference for it's employees. I mean they already received like $70 million and that didn't save their company so they are asking for more money. What ever kind of company that needs that much money should just fail. Our national debt is the highest ever right now. I mean since 1791 until last year, we racked up $10 Trillion in debt. In just one year we have already racked up another $5 Trillion. Come on! It seems that is what our country is teaching our kids Debt=ok. Bailing out after bailing out is just racking up our debt not helping the economy. Who is going to bail our country out of debt? Oh, that's right the chinese have bought our bad debt. What happens when they sell it? We need to ride it out, if it causes a depression so be it. We will rise from it!

Ava got her first hair cut ever the other day...

She has never ever had her hair cut before and nor did she want this. But I had to just do it. Every night I play tug of war with the knots in her mile long hair while she screams to death. So I got out the scissors and cut like 5 inches off while she wailed. She kept insisting that she isn't beautiful anymore until everybody else convinced her otherwise. She was not cooperating with the camera though.

Hey does anyone recognize this?

I was just going through old photos and came across the wall of drunkenness(is that a word?) And this was like the second day. Ah.....Good Times!!!

This is what I am craving right now...

Yummy Rasberry Lip Balm

I found that the only problem in making this is that I was constantly licking my lips (basically eating it) off. So I guarantee it's yummy!

• 3-5 teaspoons Petroleum Jelly
• 1-2 Crystal light Rasberry ice individual packet (for water bottle size)
• small container with lid (I like to use the sample jars from Sephora or MAC
• 1 wooden chopstick

Depending on your container size, fill it just a tiny bit below the rim with petroleum jelly. Microwave in 30 second intervals stirring with chopstick in between until it is liquid like thin soup. Pour in crystal light packet immediately and mix well. Add more for a darker shade. Put in refrigerator for at least 1 hour until it hardens. Voila!

Coffee Sugar Scrub

I just learned how to create these yummy and edible beauty products so I thought I would share ( Note to friends: I may be making these for Xmas gifts)

Coffee Sugar Cellulite Body Scrub

• 1 cup Sugar
• 3 Tbls. Ground Coffee

In large saute pan, add 1 tbls. of olive oil and turn to medium high heat. When heated, toss in chicken and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Turning often, heat until thoroughly cooked (approx. 6-10 minutes).

While chicken is cooking, clean asparagus under cold water and trim ends. This means cut them about 2 inches from bottom. Place asparagus in a microwavable container with 2 tbls. of water and a dash of salt & pepper. Cover and microwave 4-6 minutes.

Add cooked asparagus, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes(as many as you like) to saute pan with chicken. Pour 1 tbls. of olive oil over mixture to coat. Saute 2-3 minutes.

Here I go...

Okay so I started a blog. I know some will give me a hard time due to the fact I would not even open a myspace or facebook account. But here I go on display to talk about everything from politics to sports and everything in between. You will love it or hate it but either way I will keep you coming back for more. Or you could always choose not to read it.
