Baseball

well, my sons team lost their game last night. We lost due to the 10 run rule in the 5th inning. ( 1 - 12) ! The boys are just getting their feet wet. The other team had some pretty good pitching. I love watching baseball games. And what happened to spring? It was as warm as an oven out there. I was sweating, and my hair looked terrible. Sad thing is.........no amount of hairspray will keep your hair looking good in warm, humid, weather. Next up, road trip tomorrow with about 7 baseball players. With my husband coaching the team, and me helping--it is a lot of work. I'm behind on my laundry. This morning I was surprised when my husband said, " Do I have any underwear in the dryer?" Have a great day--stay cool.

Skin Cancer--here we come!

How was your Memorial Day weekend? Mine was o.k. I spent the majority of it watching baseball games. We had a tournament in my city. These were high school aged kids. I got a lot of sunburn. I feel like I'm baked. My lips were burned, my legs were burned. Yes--I forgot the lotion. My hair is a shade lighter it seems. It was so uncomfortable to sleep last night with my lobster legs. I do like this color a lot better than pasty white. My husband's baseball team has their first game tonight. I'll let you know how they do. Question is: who am I blogging to? Do YOU like baseball? because i love it!

A Big F. U. to the Dodge owner

I took off work yesterday to go shopping at Tysons Corner with my cousin and sister. I didn't want to park in the underground garage, because of the size of my van, so I picked a small parking lot. The van next to me on my right was on his/her line. I backed in, and I was on my line on my right. Usually, I don't park next to someone who is on the line, but at this time, I was already late for shopping. I came out to my van 5 hours later to find this note: 1. learn to park 2. Dont' hit my van with your door 3. I wrote down your liscense Plate p.s. nice strawberries ( this last comment was to stop me from keying her Dodge mini-van I suppose. ) Nah, Im a good girl, but I care about my van just as much as she does hers. Plus, in many parking lots, I've received dings, this is just a fact of life. What an ignorant hussy to write that note. You have my liscense plate? caution. A/C material below stick that piece of paper in your twat! Everyone have a lovely Memorial day weekend!

Oprah is writing a diet book?

As per Sirius satellite radio/Howard 100, Oprah is writing a diet book. She's getting a reported 12 million dollar advance. Hmmmmm. How often is Oprah thin? Is she going to teach millions how to be thin, then get fat, then get thin again? With her personal chef, personal assistant, trainer, home gym and no kids--How easy is it to lose weight? I want to hear from people who have done it on their OWN. Oprah should be ashamed of herself. If she can stay slim for 5 years straight, i'll buy her book. <>

When you are a little boy.......

I rarely blog about my kids, but this is cute.

My son( who's 7) and I took a long walk yesterday. He said to me, "If I were a girl for a day, I would wish I'd turn back into a boy the next day"!

I think that's cute.

Jennifer's got her running shoes on..........

Jennifer Wilbanks, the Runaway bride, says that she's no longer getting married. A Question. Why didn't you say that in the first place?? Her ex-fiance John Mason seems to have run into some good luck. I just hope he steers clear of his runaway bride. Best gift for Jennifer when she finally gets married? A few therapy sessions and a tracker to place somewhere on her body.


One of these days she may be the runaway wife or runaway Mom. That chick has her running shoes on. My favorite quote from the People magazine article. Jennifer said, " John and I have some things to work out"

I've got news for Jennifer. If you can't "work things out" after a year, maybe you shouldn't try. Try dating for a few years. Seek help.

Have a great day and remember--tomorrow is horrible neighbor day. I've got another story about Billy Bob. His "friend" hauled away our old fence yesterday. It was a fun day of waiting, beer, and Billy Bob taking our trash to his house. Yay!

What's in your steak?

I heard this story from a friend, and I just HAD to share. This is a true story which happened in Tennessee, at a Steakhouse.

A woman ordered a steak. Upon receiving her steak, it wasn't cooked right. So, she sent it back. ( you know where I'm going). The waiter brought it back again, and she ate it this time. Once she got home, she got violently ill. She had saved a portion of that steak, and sent it out to a lab.

Turns out, her steak had 7 different dna's in it. My friend didn't know if it was semen, spit, etc. Turns out, the woman sued the restaurant, they closed it down, and I imagine she got some money out of it.

Bottom line: careful where you eat, try not to send anything back!!!!
Have a great weekend!

What would you rather have?

One of my magazines said women want a man with a sense of humor over looks. My question is.................. Would you want a funny, ugly man or a hot guy who's dumb as a rock? I'd say I'd take the hot guy for a few years, but I don't think I could take the ugly man for long.

Which would you prefer an ugly woman or man with a great sense of humor or a stunning woman, great body, airhead or a hot hunk with no brains????

Today is horrible neighbor day!

Today is Tuesday, horrible neighbor day. Billy Bob is at it again. Always poking his nose into everyone else's business. Last week, when my sons and husband were tearing down our old fence, Billy Bob came over to be nosey. First, he said he wanted some of the old, discolored sections of fence. no problem. Now, the new fence is up, and over the weekend Billy Bob ran over like a kid coming to a candy store.

He says, " I know someone that can haul it away real cheap". My husband said he has a man who hauls trash away. " This guy can do it cheaper" says Billy Bob. then, my husband says, "How do you know?" Long story short, Billy Bob got out his trusty nextel and called a friend of his. They were chatting, and Billy Bob says to my husband ( this was at 1:00 p.m.) so -and- so can haul that away cheap. He has to go to K Mart, then he'll be right over.

2 o'clock came, then 3. Then, we left, we had errands to run. These hillbillies tell you things, and must forget they tell you. Well, now it's 2 days later, and we haven't seen anyone. We're just going to have the usual guy haul the old fence, posts, away.

Last night, on a school night at that, Billy Bob was in rare form. He had been drinking, that was obvious to hear him chatter away......... It was about 11:00 p.m. , I felt like I was in a trailer park. Billy Bob, his teenage kids, and a few buddies were out on the front porch making spectacles of themselves.

They were yelling at cars going by, acting obnoxious as usual. Just when you think they are civilized, out comes the bad behavior again. It was a nice night, and we had the windows open. Screw the city......I'm ready to have a house out on 5 acres of land, and brave the ticks, and possible boredom. I know I'm not the only one with a neighbor like him, but I was taught manners. Go out back if you want to be loud. I feel sorry for his neighbor, I'll call her Miss Ellen. She's an older woman who can't wait until they find another place to rent. Preferably a trailer park. This neighbor has been a nuisance now for over a year.

His latest act to my next door neighbor with her very large yard was to leave a few beer cans on her lawn. This man just sticks out like a sore thumb. I thought about it last night, and if they move, our little block will be peaceful again. Sign> Do YOU have terrible neighbors?

kids are bored, with nothing to do!

In Arkansas, Is anyone surprised? What the hell is there to do.........a group of kids put laxatives in their teacher's tea. Shame. Shame. I say let their punishment be to drink coca cola with lots of laxatives and see how it feels. So, in Arkansas, when they are not busy knocking all the underage teenage girls up, they are thinking up things to do on a rainy afternoon. Our senior prank was chopping down about 4 trees on school grounds ( about 4 boys were involved, I knew nothing about it). The boys parents had to fork up the cost of those trees. What was YOUR senior prank? Iced Tea And No Sympathy - May 10, 2006 The smoking gun rocks.

sounds Yummy!

At last, this ethnic restaurant near me had a dish named after my husband: Jerk Chicken. Ha! I found a nice restaurant for myself and my family to go to on Mother's day. It's a seafood restaurant and also a Landmark, with a lot of history. The Main building was built in the 1800's and it's rumored to have it's own "ghost". Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's.....and Don't forget your mom this mothers day. Chow!

Star Jones: woman of mystery

There's a rumor going around that Star Jones will be leaving the view. Is it because the obnoxious Rosie O'Donnell is joining the cast in September? Her fued with Joy, which I missed btw. Enquiry minds wanna know. I want to know......... How did she lose all that weight? ( i dont care, but i think i know she had gastric bypass because of that full round face of hers) Is her husband gay? Hmmmmmmmm. We'll let her keep denying it. Hey--maybe he's metrosexual ( cough, cough) She didn't want to be alone--so she married a man. leave the poor woman alone. You know what a scare she had after her breast surgery. Well, I wish Star well. Good luck with her marriage, and most of all....keeping her weight off. Even though you have gastric by-pass ( which may or may not be true), you can still gain weight. Look at Roseanne. I do believe she had either a stomach stapling or gastric by pass. Same with Carnie Wilson. Do YOU watch the view?

Wednesday is.....how Masculine is that?

The world has a shortage of masculine men. Overheard from a baseball coach: ( on soccer field, talking to his 6 yr old just before the boy's game)


" Don't get dirty Elliott" ?! He's going to get dirty anyway Dad. Where are all the masculine men?

Tuesday is Horrible neighbor day!

Pesky neighbors! Almost everyone has them, and I'm no different. My husband is a contractor, so he got the guys together and today we are having our stockade fence replaced. On Sunday night, my husband and sons were out there tearing the old fence down when who should come over and start yapping?

Billy Bob!

He wants to know if he can have our old fence. My husband said sure.....but our old fence is falling apart and is 15 yrs old. Billy Bob said, " now I can have me a stockade fence". What did i do to deserve a neighbor like this? First of all, Billy Bob is now allowed to put up a stockade fence without a permit. We had to get one from the city.

Second, Billy Bob is a renter. I think the homeowner would have to get the permit for him. Billy Bob was so confused. At first he asked if we were replacing our driveway. ! Then he said something really amusing. He wants to come to one of my husband's baseball practices and talk to the kids about the danger of drugs/alcohol. This is a man who still drinks quite a bit. Maybe he's given up drugs, but he has heart problems, and I just saw him staggering around on Saturday night, i think. The parents would flip.

The "kids" are 15, and 16. I think they could tell that Billy Bob has problems the moment he started speaking. Who wants to hear from an alcoholic the dangers of drinking or using drugs? That's like Don Delouise telling you not to eat ho ho's.

Tomorrow is horrible neighbor day

and have I got a story for you. It seems Billy Bob is like Fred Sanford, always thinking one man's trash is another man's treasure. Tune in tomorrow when I tell you all about Billy Bob and how he'll probably be in trouble with our city inspector! Today is a cloudy and dreary day in Annapolis. Who stole the sun? One movie you can miss: The Order with Heath Ledger. If I want to see a priest fall in love with a woman, I'd like for it to be a porno thank you. Heath is great in some movies, but the Order was just a big snoozefest. Zzzzzzzzzz. Now i'm about to watch a movie in a few about 8 women, and that's what it's called: 8 women. A man dies and 8 women are suspect. Who's on their period? Because we get awful cranky. !

Who wears short shorts?

Overheard on the baseball field:

Coach A is slim, 50, and always wears short, tight shorts. Coach B is the headcoach, and I just gave him the name Coach B for this entry. Coach C is a real comedian.
Coach A was umpiring behind the plate. The catcher was missing balls, so Coach B suggested that Coach A keep a baseball in his pocket.

Coach C pipes up and says, " Hell, he can't even get his hands in those pockets his shorts are so tight, he's not going to be able to fit a ball".

You just have to know Coach A, and the fact he's always worn what my son calls " booty shorts"

btw Coach A did fit that ball in his pockets, but i'm sure it was uncomfortable.


A fatass says he's too fat for jail. He's over 500 lbs and wants " home confinement" he could actually get up out of the chair/bed?

read link: Savvy.com Men's Lifestyle Portal - Man Argues He's Too Overweight for Jail

and for Scubes, who left me a comment about the Super size guy........if you want to gain weight, just eat a lot and don't exercise. But, I would not recommend McDonalds, this guy has gained weight and is becoming unhealthy.
I'm going to try to finish the movie today. I have it tivo'd. Most of it is interesting, but there is a lot of boring commentary thrown in.

Have a great day, and come back often.

Getting your rations ready.

There's talk of another attack of 9/11 proportion looming. At First, after 9/11.....I was very concerned. I still am. But not to the point i'm going to let it effect my life. Message to Govt. PAY ATTENTION. There were warning signs before, and there will be again. I say shut down the borders. No one else gets in. How many more countries could they possibly visit besides the U.S.? It makes me sick to think of all the foreigners who came over the the U.S. and learned to fly planes from Americans, or whoever taught them over here. Let me work at customs, most would be turned away. Let me work security at the airports. These people who get searched shouldn't feel violated. It's our right to search you. If you have nothing on you, no weapons, you should not be concerned. I say--watch everyone closely. I read the various reports on what was uncovered and ignored before 9/11 and I was shocked. Our borders, in my opinion, are not as secure as they should be. Perhaps if we had naked women parading around at the airports in the U.S., the middle easterners would turn back around. If you are a family, that's fine. I just object to anyone coming here to do any type of harm. We're too nice of a country. I think we should insert tags under the skin where we can keep track of all the visitors who come to our country. It's just a thought.

Supersize my Ass!

lol. I was watching the movie " Supersize Me" about the director who eats only McDonalds for 30 days. I have not finished watching it, but they talked about the lawyer who is helping two teenagers/ or helped two teenagers sue McDonalds. They say McDonalds made them fat. I say they know how fattening McDonalds is. STOP EATING THERE. If you have a good metabolism, like my son, who is 15, 5'11 1/2 and 145 lbs.......you can eat anything. Once you start to get a roll around your middle.....STOP EATING THERE. Anyone with half a brain knows how fattening McDonalds is. Try eating healthy for about a week, then go to McDonalds. It will make you sick. There are too many frivolous lawsuits and that is definately another.

I have not read that yet!

I have to admit, I'm a hoarder. Clutter, clutter. The toy is too cute to throw away, I have not read that magazine or newspaper yet. That's why I always like going away, and staying in hotels. It's free of clutter. Let's face it, most hotels aren't spotless, but they have nothing but a bed, couch, few dressers and maybe a kitchenette. I look around my home, and see 2 or 3 of everything, lots of u gi o, however you spell that cards from my 7 yr old. They used to be the 15 yr olds. Sometimes you want a dumpster to back up to your house, and throw everything in. Guess what? we tried that! I'm going to take a trash bag down to my rec room and start tossing things. There should only be the couch, end tables, TV, loveseat, etc. Everything else can go.......and get put in another room! It doesn't help that i live with 4 males who pick up nothing. <> Do you want to know what I found under my bed this morning? a crumpled up McDonalds bag from my 15 yr old that had a piece of his breakfast sandwich still in it. Calgon--take me away............

Today is horrible neighbor day!

I know by now some of you are thinking.....Where the hell does this woman live? Im in an Annapolis suburb, with a lot of different kinds of ppl. We have families, young people, old people, crazy people, redneck people--you name it. Today's horrible neighbor story is about my neighbor Alex ( not his real name). Alex had a wife and two children, plus a step daughter. His wife and daughters are now down south. Near Georgia. And I'll tell you why. This is coming from a close friend of Alex's wife. It seems Alex had been having a 7 yr affair with another woman. ooooooooooo. Alex and his wife have been married 15 years. Not only was Alex unfaithful with the other woman, he was also cheating with prostitutes. One night, Alex's wife got a call from District of Columbia (Washington D.C.) police. They told her to come to a certain station, and bring Alex a change of clothes. When she got there, she found out he'd been arrested for being with a prostitute ( someone help me out--she was soliciting--he was buying) anyway, poor Alex lost his clothes. A few months later, his wife and daughters moved out. Now poor Alex is trying to fix up his house, and rent it out. It seems the adulterer did not have permits, and our city inspectors put a stop work order on his door. Poor Alex. not only will he have to eat the cost of his mortgage, but he will probably end up with an STD. You just never know. Do YOU have a horrible neighbor story???????

New Waiter..........PLEASE.

I thought of the blog I have on my blogroll " Waiter Rant" except this time, I was the customer, my waiter was a skinny, possibly drug user, and an airhead. We start off with him forgetting the water. Then my husband asked for rum and tonic, he brings Gin and tonic.

He seems nervous, jittery. Things go well until i ask for another diet coke. He says ok that will be another Dr. Pepper. Dr . Pepper? I have not drank a Dr. Pepper since I was 14. I say, "no, diet coke". sure enough, he brings me a Dr. Pepper. I tell him when he comes back, " I wanted a Diet coke". So, again he leaves and comes back with another drink. It's a Dr. Pepper again.

This time I'm laughing. I finally did get my diet coke, and we left him a 20% tip, but I think he needs help. I don't know if he was just extremely ADHD or he was on something.

At first I thought he was cute, but after his forgetfulness, I changed my mind. I know today is horrible neighbor day, I promise a juicy story later, one that includes infidelity, getting caught with your pants down by the police, and A stop work order on the house someone is trying to fix up to rent out.

Whew.

I want a burger with ketchup, mustard and no flesh!

It seems at TGI Friday's one customer got a little more on his burger than he wanted. GROSS. Read this and see if you can go to Friday's anymore. Well, you could rationalize it by saying This happened in Indiana. I live in Maryland. On the page, they ask if you've ever found anything in your food. Years ago, my husband was eating a pudding from " The Hot Shoppe" Cafeteria, when he found a large piece of glass. Scary. Has anything ever been in your food that's strange?

my take on immigration

I'm reading things such as.......without immigrants, this country would collapse. Someone is thinking too highly of themselves. Back when i was growing up in the 1970's, we did not have as many immigrants/ mexican, el Salvadorians, Columbians as we do now. Pedro came over, liked it, and sent for 50 of his family to come to. I have no problem with someone coming over here and obtaining citizenship. But learn to speak English. English is the primary language. I DO have a problem with immigrants receiving free Education because there are many young people here in the U.S. who want to go to college, and can't afford it. We need to take care of our own first. The immigrants need to understand that we live a certain way here in the U.S. They are visitors, and they have not been here as long. You can't just go to a country, then try to change the laws/way they live. We are overpopulated. And yes, it's expensive to live in some parts of our country. This does not mean you can have 20 people living in a 3 bedroom house. Not only is this a fire-hazard, but how can you live comfortably? In some affluent areas near me, they have these situations, and the family has 25 cars around the property, and causes Chaos for their neighbors. Have some respect for the U.S., and don't tell us that you are the backbone of the Unites States, because before you came in droves--we survived. Do you know how hard it is for us to go to Businesses in our community, and have people working for that business that do not speak english?

That's like any American going to Mexico and refusing to learn spanish, and trying to get a job without learning spanish. Quit whining, if you dont' like it here LEAVE.
