Missed Taylor

DD, BF and I had tickets to the country concert at Summer Celebration last night. BF ended up having to work late and DD and I waited awhile for him before taking off for the concert. We missed Taylor Swift. She was to take the stage at 6:30, we got down there around 7:15 and she was done already. *gasp* (I heard later that they pulled her from the stage when they saw lightening.) DD and I gorged on carni food... well ok DD gorged on carni food. I only had one basket of deep fried veggies (cauliflower, mushroom and onion rings).

It started raining and the wind was blowing 45-50 miles an hour! But... then it stopped and then sun came out.

Rodney Atkins was great, dang he does have a very nice voice. He brought out his little boy for the end of "Watchin' You". awwwww that was sweet.

Phil Vassar was his usual energetic self. He didn't do any flips this concert, but he did run all over the stage when he wasn't playing the piano. I knew every.single.song he sang. I love concerts like that.

Saturday night I'll be seeing INXS! Woohooooooo!!!! And the best part? Kimmer will be with me!!! Wooohoooooooo!!!!

Yard Sale!

Here's what's left, who wants what? :)

1 old short couch
2 old steel file cabinets
1 old TV
1 old computer equipment, monitor, keyboard, speakers
girl clothes size 10-12
stuffed animals
set of 8 apple dishes

hmmmmmmm I know there's more... I just can't think what it is right now.


Also? Who broke OT? I wanted to post the first discussion topic for the book club. *pout*

I have 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to hide the book from myself last night. I knew if I started it, I wouldn't be able to put it down.... so I'm waiting til tonight after work. Then I can totally relax with a drink, put my feet up and sink into the newest Plum book!!! Woooooooooohoooooooooo I can't wait!!!!

Is it 5 o'clock yet? *looks at watch*

I'm back from Miami!

Not sure I'll ever go back there. People down there were not friendly or nice.

Also didn't like the dunes. I like my ocean side walkways to actually have a view of the ocean and not dunes.

I did alot of lying out in the sun and reading. We did go to a club one night and that was fun to see, but very expensive.

On the plane down there, the woman sitting in front of me was kicked off the plane. *gasp* She had asked the stewardess if they upgraded travel agents to first class, she said no they didn't have that policy anymore. The woman asked the stewardess's name (although I don't know why she didn't just read her name tag) and wrote it down. When (I think it was the head stewardess) asked if there was a problem, she said no and asked her for her name too. They both were a little nasty towards each other and then Captain came on and said we had a maintenance problem. *snort* Ends up she was the maintenance problem and security escorted her off the plane because the stewardesses were intimatated by her. What a way to start a vacation, eh?

Would it be rude?

I'm going to South Beach Thursday with 5 girlfriends. Would it be rude of me to not do the clubbing scene at night? I started packing last night and I have nothing to wear and no time to shop. *sigh*

I just want to go and lie on the beach all day. *pout* I just want to relax, totally relax for a few days.

*pout* I do have hootche shirts, but nothing to wear with them. If I happen to find a 1/2 hour to go shopping, what should I look for?

Tagged by Momma

I was tagged by Momma who was tagged by Kimmah.... so here's my 8 randoms.

2. I have aleast a dozen mosquito bites on my legs.

3. My chai latte is almost gone.

4. It's going to be close to 90 here today. woooohoooooo

6. I still have to pee.

7. I wonder what style Levis Momma is going to tell me to buy. *grin*

Decluttering.... again

I'm probably moving again this summer, so I've started looking at the mess of boxes in the basement that never got unpacked. I'm guessing that I don't need the stuff in those boxes. What should I do with them? I really don't think I want to have a garage sale. I know some of the boxes contain Disney VCR movies and Care Bear stuff. Should I just bring that stuff to Goodwill? Anyone want it?

Anyone want to come to my house and help me? *grin* We can have a garage sale and I'll let you have the proceeds. *grin*

Safe in Iraq

Isn't that like an oxymoronic statement?

Just a quick note, to let you know I am doing fine. It is very hot over here. All I do is just work and sleep. But all is fine. I will let you know more when I have more free time.

That message was waiting in my email box this morning from my brother. He'll be over ther for atleast 4 months.

Let's hope everyone's brothers/uncles/nephews/sons/sisters/aunts/nieces/daughters come home safely.

*BBBUUUUURRRRRPPPP*

That's the second thing that Shrek says. *giggle*

The first is "I'm an ogre!"

And I can't quite figure out what the third is....

mmmmmm Happy Meal fries, who wants some?

Dang it!

My orange peed on me. *sigh*

I hate when that happens.

Two gifts?

Fine! Ya whiners! Here's my update, it's a question.

Am I supposed to get two gifts for my ex-niece that is getting married this summer? One at the Bachelorette party and one at the Bridalshower? The party is this weekend, they are planning on my being the one to pick the bars and stuff. Yeesh!

DD is in the wedding and they've asked me to make the bridal parties necklaces.... which I still need to find out which necklace they were talking about.

Any whooooooo, two gifts? Or just a gift at the Bridalshower?

Operator Game

My question came from Momma...

How many drinks did you have at your party last night?

The answer would be 3. *grin*

Shopping list for jewelry party

What do you think? The silver beads aren't quite the same, but the look is.

Courteous

1 : marked by polished manners, gallantry, or ceremonial usage of a court
2 : marked by respect for and consideration of others

Charming people focus on the other person. Rarely are they themselves the topic of discussion. Be nice to others. If someone is excited or wants to discuss a subject that you have no interest in or have a negative interest in; say nothing. (Granted this would be in relation to entertainment issues, not debating/argument issues.)

In most cases, arguments are meant to be persuasive. Take a moment to think about that. How persuasive is an argument that automatically makes the other person wrong? Are they going to be receptive to your point of view? What are you really trying to accomplish by directly challenging another person?

Avoid talking down to people. If you're never wrong, you're always wrong. You have to give ground occasionally or risk losing the respect of people you're arguing with.

I think someone needs to look up being courteous again. They're a little confused.

Insert Kitten pics here

I promise to do that tonight. Do you know how hard it is to get pictures of kittens? They really are not interested in sitting still. NOT AT ALL.

Everyone is getting along well. Morgan likes her new chew toy. *giggle*

Only other news in Breezyworld is that I have a horrible head cold and tax season will be over Wednesday. Do you have your taxes in? Tomorrow is the deadline!

Maybe Easter Kitty

One of these little beauties might come home with me this weekend. These are the two females, there's also a couple grey males and black male.

I love the tortoise one's face, and I love the little patches of orange on the light grey one. I'll probably let DD decide which one.

Which one do you want?

Bitter Old Hag

Whatever happend to the old adage, "If you can't say anything nice. Don't say anything at all."?

Maybe it's not so much that as it is; keep your condescending, self promoting, self righteous spew to yourself. Just because you think that the sky is really a light blue, does NOT mean the peeps that think the sky is a bright blue are wrong. Being strong willed and standing by your convictions, does not mean being nasty/snarky/speak down to those that have different thoughts then your own. Especially when it has to do with freaking entertainment things.... yeesh can we get any more higher on that horse? It's all about the delivery of your opinions... your delivery sucks. IMHO

This post is sponsered by Orville Redenbacher, have some today.

*pees self* eh?

I'm going on a roadtrip to Canada later this year. Guess who'll be in the car with me?!?!?!? Can't guess, eh?

Ut oh.... I better be sure to pack my gas mask and extra Oust. *grin*

Can you guess now?

*hops all over* We'll be just like Thelma and Louise... without the killing boys part. *grin*

I'm sooooooooo excited. So excited!

*changes pants*

*pees self again*

Aloha

Yeesh ya whiners! Yes I know I've been back for awhile.... it is still tax season ya know.

So anyhoo....

Hawaii was gorgeous, 86 and sunny everyday. We practically lived in our bathing suits the entire time. :)

We did tons of walking and used the city buses to get all around. DD and I went to a flea market one day and spent a bunch on cool clothes and jewelry. I also got some nasty blisters on the bottoms of my feet that day, made walking that night and the next day not a whole lot of fun. Luckily that next day was the day we went snorkeling. Snorkeling was so cool!!! It took me a little while to get over the panic of breathing thru my mouth into a tube.... but DD was a fish. She even went out in the deeper water with my brother to explore.

I would love to go back and spend more time there. Here's some pics for you all to be jealous of. :)
