O So Mo Love

Update Time....

2008-05-06T08:59:00.005-06:00

I will be taking a break from blogging, here, for a while.

I have found out that we are expecting (!!!!!) :) and my morning sickness hasn't been allowing me to get on my computer much lately.

I throw up in the morning and nap in the afternoons.

I apologize for "stiffing" every one, but I have a good excuse. The best, we think.

So, until my morning sickness and fatigue lessen a bit, I won't be updating here. So sorry for any inconvenience, but, can you believe it? WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!

(And no, my blogging buddies, the only people that know are our families....We found out Friday! (Now I know why I've been so nauseous....) )

Where were you? - #03

2008-04-22T09:15:00.003-06:00

"Here goes the third edition!!! I am very happy to see how many people played last week. Some of them, like Matthew from One old Green Bus, had a post that I just found today when I went to Technorati! By the way, check his blog, it's one of the most original I've seen..." ~from Gabriel

OK, now on to the game. Today's is "Where were you for Geeks!" Where were you...

1) ...When Microsoft released MS Vista and Office 2007 (30/Jan/2007):
To quote my hubby "A complete piece of "$&*@"! He hates Vista. He's forced to use it at work and tells me daily of it's irritating "features". Lemme see, January of last year I was bundled up, cleaning our humble abode no doubt. Nothing very exciting I'm afraid.

2) ...When Nintendo 64 is released in Europe (01/Mar/1997):
In March of 1997 I was a Senior in highschool. I had yet to met my Prince Charming. I can remember one of my guy friends being so jazzed about the 64. I was trying to imporve my ACT scores. A 29 wasn't apparently good enough to obtain a schloarship......

3) ...When the construction of the Channel Tunnel (aka Euro Tunnel) began (01/Dec/1987):
I was in the third grade. No doubt learning my multiplication tables. I can remember how I had a crush on my classmate Jeremy and how much he loved my long, straight hair. In March 1988, my teacher, Miss Thomas, was killed in an automoblie accident. :(

Thanks Gabriel! See you next week!

Manic Monday Revisited....

2008-04-21T14:02:00.004-06:00

Well, Manic Monday is up now, so I'm playing along.

Who is the black sheep in your family/group? Me & Mike on all accounts....go figure.

If you were a character from a book, what character would you be? I wish I was Scout Finch from "To Kill a Mockingbird". She's my all-time favorite literary character.

What's your favorite accent? I have a thing for Australian accents. I think they're so sexy in men and women!

Manic Monday?

2008-04-21T06:48:00.002-06:00

Morning, all!

Manic Monday isn't up yet, so I'll check back later to see if it's been updated. If so, I'll play then.

Where were you? #02

2008-04-15T06:52:00.008-06:00

"Second edition of my new game, and I would like to start by thanking everybody who played last week. That was great! I received some responses in the lines of "I dunno, I hadn't even been born yet", so I will make sure that doesn't happen today!

As I said last week, you don't necessarily need to remember what were you doing on that same day, but at least what were you doing during that time. You can either comment on this post, or link to your own!

Now, without further ado, where were you..."

1) ...When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans (29/Aug/2005 - 30/Aug/2005):

I was living at Stratford Apartments in Montgomery, AL. I remember watching the weather channel and going online to read about the destruction. We had power and thank God the air conditioner was going strong! (I HATE being hot!)

This was after I broke my neck, so I wasn't working at a public job then. "The Hubby" took half a day off on the 29th and the entire day off the 30th. It was scary and saddening, knowing all the horrors people were going through and not being able to do anything about it.

2) ...When most of the world celebrated thinking that a new Millennium had started (and then waited a whole year for that to effectively happen) (01/Jan/2000):

We, (the hubby (who was only my fiance at the time) and I) went to my best girlfriend's home and celebrated the "New Millennium" with them. (And a couple dozen of our closest pallies.)

It was so much fun being with our pals during this "important" time. We grilled out earlier, had snacks and drinks, played games and watched the fireworks in the back yard. It was a cool, fun time.

We also called loved ones wishing them a happy, healthy new millennium.

3) ...When Seinfeld aired its final episode (which, by the way, was the same day Frank Sinatra died) (14/May/1998):

I was in college, in Anatomy and American Literature class to be exact.

I hadn't met my hubby at this time.

I remember thinking how much I loved Seinfeld and was going to miss it. I was a devoted fan. I watched the last episode that night and was a little bummed.

*I didn't know this was the day Frank passed away!*

THANKS GABRIEL! I enjoyed your fun meme today! See ya next week!

Lilies For "The Boo"

Where did these come from? To find out, go HERE.

Some sad news....

2008-04-14T07:06:00.002-06:00

My brother-in-law's (Steve-O, my sissy's hubby) grandfather passed away this morning.

He's been in a "coma" for several months and hasn't been himself for quite a while. It's sad that he is gone, but, we're glad he's no longer suffering and has gone home.

I am praying for his family's comfort and ask that you do the same.

Manic Monday for April 14, 2007

2008-04-14T06:24:00.003-06:00

Is there anything for which you would willingly give your life? Any one of my loved one's lives. Friends/family. I'd give my life for a transplant or anything else needed.

How would you communicate with someone if you didn't share a common language? I would probably try to draw (horribly) the point I was trying to get across. Usually, pictures can be universal.

Where is your ideal place/location to have a wedding? Where we did, in a garden!

Happy Weekend!

1. I love springtime in love, it's the best time to "try new things"!

2. Leftovers (especially pizza) are foods I love to eat for breakfast.

3. It seems I'm always searching for my keys. They wander off on their own!

4. A warm, relaxing bubble bath is a great way to end the day.

5. I think I am in need of a mani/pedi cure. No, I'm DEFINITELY in need!

6. Chocolate soy milk is what I've been craving lately.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having dinner with my parents, tomorrow my plans include working at my mother-in-law's house and Sunday, I want to REST!

No Take-Out For The Boo

(I am to lazy to do my own cooking. Think I'll just regret not ordering out today!)

4:30 am Wake-Up Call

2008-04-11T04:08:00.004-06:00

Well, I just got up to potty and that %&*@ bird is outside our window singing it's heart out. It's 4:30 in the morning! The sun hasn't even risen yet. What is your deal? Screw me invading on your natural habitat! I need some sleep. Sing in the daylight only, if you don't mind! UGHHHHH!

(The hubby said if he had a pellet gun, birdie would be gone, like, NOW!)

Where were you? #01

2008-04-10T09:14:00.003-06:00

WHERE WERE YOU? A Tuesday meme from my buddy, Gabriel. Check out his site "Live From Waterloo" by clicking on the pic above.

From Gabriel:

"Here I go, with my first 'official' attempt at this game. You don't necessarily need to remember what were you doing on that same day, but at least what were you doing during that time. You can either comment on this post, or link to your own!So, where were you..."

1) When the Challenger exploded (28/Jan/1986):I was 7 years old and I remember being in ART class in the 1st grade. A teacher ran in and switched on the television in our classroom. I remember my teacher cried. I honestly didn't know what was happening.

2) When John Lennon was killed (08/Dec/1980): I was a toddler (1), so I have no idea what I was doing. Napping? Pooping? Eating? Who knows?

3) When Argentina won the FIFA World Cup (25/Jun/1978): I wasn't born yet, so I was in utero, do doubt kicking my mommy good!

Thursday Bug 4/10/2008

2008-04-10T06:33:00.004-06:00

"Sometimes it helps to share with others what bugs your mind. They may have a solution, a kind word, or a smile of encouragement."

I DETEST housework! It's such an all-consuming task. Oh! and it is the epitome of futility. What's the use if I have to do the SAME THING in a week? Nothing ever stays straightened. Dust always returns. The floors ALWAYS get tracked on. Laundry always piles up. The stove is in a constant grease slick. Miss Cleo Ann ALWAYS need brushing, feeding and her litterbox is in constant need of attention. Sometimes I just feel like giving up. But, if I don't do it, it won't be done.

Still, it's an ABSOLUTE irritation!

My daddy's nickname is Bob. His real name is Donnie, but my sister called him Bob and it stuck.

Any who, this morning, I went to the grocery store and chatted with the produce guy. He asked me what I was doing today and I said I was having lunch with "my Bob".

He asked me what a "Bob" was and I proceeded to explain that a "Bob" is my father.

Isn't it cute how nicknames become some one's "real" name and title after a while?

Here's a pic of me and my beloved "Bob".

I love you bunches, BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

Room 101 for 4/9/2008

2008-04-09T06:41:00.009-06:00

Okay, here I go.

Kitties that have been "groomed" to look like lions tick me off.

I mean, how degrading it must be. Not to mention chilly when it's cold. AND it looks ridiculous!

Kitties should look like balls of fur, NOT mutant lions. The "parents" of these babies should be arrested for abuse. Making your feline look this way is not only selfish but cruel and unusual. Uggghhh...I can hardly stand it.

Look at this poor kitty. He looks so miserable and ticked off. Poor baby.

Wednesday Mind Hump

2008-04-09T06:31:00.002-06:00

Wednesday Mind Hump

Greetings! Here we are again, mind humping. Once again, I have no good theme, so we'll talk about movies.

1. What is the last movie you watched? The last movie I saw was No Country For Old Men.

2. Give us a brief review and tell us how you liked it. It was about a drug sell gone horribly wrong. Lots of violence. Kind of a guy movie, I guess. I liked it okay. I didn't like the cussing and violence, and the story was so depressing. I would recommend it if one wants a dark, depression-laced thriller.

3. Which of the movie's actors or actresses do you like best? Obviously I loved Tommy Lee Jones. He's one of my favorite actors. I also enjoyed Josh Brolin and Javier whatever-his-last-name-is.

4. Tell us the name of a movie that you haven't seen, but really should. I know everyone has seen Atonement, but the hubby didn't want to sit through this "chick flick" so I'm going to rent it soon and watch it myself!

Thanks for mind humping. That's a wrap!

Topic: Spring Cleaning

Have you started your Spring cleaning? Yeah, right.....I should though. *sigh*

What sort of things are you going to throw out? Old papers, receipts, etc., maybe the old, torn towels/bath cloths, & DEFINITELY the old spices/herbs in my spice rack.

If possible, show us a before and after photo of the mess. If you can't, how would you describe the before and after of the specific area in your home? Before: cluttered and dusty. After: HOPEFULLY, straightened, clean and dust-free (for 5 minutes!) EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!

Memoir Meme

2008-04-07T06:50:00.007-06:00

One of my newest blog buddies, Bluehappybunny, tagged me for The Memoir Meme. Check out her wonderful answer HERE.

The rules are:-
1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post.
4. Tag a few more blogs with links.

Tough stuff, this one.

Here's my futile attempt:

Love loved ones more than anything.

Yep, that about sums up my life. Despite the clicheness of this, I truly do love others so much!

Seeing others happy about something I've done is the most rewarding experience I have ever felt. (Yes, I'm a co-dependant, needy girl. But, that's just me.) Likewise, another's disappointment in me is almost unbearable.

Alrighty, now for my tags.....

I think I'l just say this:

If you read this post, you're tagged! Congratulations!

Invent a new word that you feel would improve the language and define it. Uh, Bunkie....a term of endearment (that's one of MY nicknames!)

What is your favorite texture? I like smooth, as in silky. I really like silky lotion! :)

Tell her how you feel!

2008-04-03T07:17:00.006-06:00

ATTENTION: All Guys out there!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell your wife (or significant other) how much she means to you. Just a little positive assurance can make a girl feel wanted and appreciated.

Plan a romantic getaway or picnic (a surprise!), get her some flowers (her favorite kind), write her a love note (especially if you're married! Wooing shouldn't end with the wedding!), cook dinner for her or take her out (to HER favorite restaurant!). Most of all, let her know that you are honored and consider it a privilege to be with her.

All women need to know that their work (as a mother, wife, etc.) is appreciated and not overlooked.

Let her know you are still so much in love with her and that she's worthy of all of your love and respect!

Thursday Bug for 4/3/2008

2008-04-03T06:57:00.002-06:00

Okay, my bug for today is one I feel strongly about. (Sorry, hubby!)

I am sick and tired of working around our house and NEVER getting praise for it.

I dust (which I abhor), sweep, vacuum, mop, polish, scrub, make beds, hang out, take in, fold and hang laundry. I cook ALL the meals. I clean the kitchen & both bathrooms. I buy groceries (with help...I have to admit this). I buy and use ALL the cleaning supplies. I straighten and put things away constantly. I comb and brush the cat (which I do enjoy!).

Just an occasional "Good Job!" is all I ask (that and maybe some flowers sometimes).

There, I feel better. Thank goodness for this week's BUG!

And no, I'm not on my (you know). I'm just a little tired of not being appreciated.

Okay, I'm probably going to offend someone and I apologize in advance.

I am sick of the race for President here in America. I mean, come on! November is, like, 7 months away, and I will be forced to listen to Hillary & Barrack mud-sling at each other the ENTIRE summer, while John McCain doesn't have any opposition. I am tired of it already and it hasn't even started yet! Ugghhhh!

No Holiday

2008-04-01T13:30:00.001-06:00

There are no more holidays this month. Easter is usually in April, but it was early this year. Today is the only holiday in April.

I'm kinda bummed. :(

Happy April Fool's Day!

2008-04-01T06:50:00.002-06:00

April Fool's Day History

The history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 - April 1 (new year's week) to January 1.
Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1. These people were labeled "fools" by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands," sent invitations to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke.
This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank-playing continue on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in its own way.
In Scotland, for instance, April Fool's Day is devoted to spoofs involving the buttocks and as such is called Taily Day. The butts of these jokes are known as April 'Gowk', another name for cuckoo bird. The origins of the "Kick Me" sign can be traced back to the Scottish observance.
In England, jokes are played only in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs' or 'gobby' and the victim of a joke is called a 'noodle.' It was considered back luck to play a practical joke on someone after noon.
In Rome, the holiday is known as Festival of Hilaria, celebrating the resurrection of the god Attis, is on March 25 and is also referred to as "Roman Laughing Day."
In Portugal, April Fool's Day falls on the Sunday and Monday before lent. In this celebration, many people throw flour at their friends.
The Huli Festival is celebrated on March 31 in India. People play jokes on one another and smear colors on one another celebrating the arrival of Spring.
So, no matter where you happen to be in the world on April 1, don't be surprised if April fools fall playfully upon you.

Have you ever pulled a prank? Yes, on my friend Monica, but again, it wasn't much of one.

What is your idea of a good prank? I've never pullled a good one, but I'd say not to be totally outrageous. Something somewhat believable is better. I don't know....

Egg McMuffin Inventor Passes On

2008-03-28T12:49:00.005-06:00

1919-2008

Herb Peterson, who invented the Egg McMuffin, died peacefully at his home in Santa Barbara on Tuesday. He was 89.
Peterson came up with idea for the signature McDonald’s breakfast item in 1972. “He was very partial to eggs Benedict,” said a McDonald’s spokesperson, so Peterson worked on creating a similar meal.
Peterson began his career with McDonald’s as vice president of the company’s advertising firm, D’Arcy Advertising, in Chicago. He wrote McDonald’s first national advertising slogan, “Where Quality Starts Fresh Every Day,” and eventually became a franchisee.
Peterson is survived by his wife, son, and three daughters.

I don't like being bombared with commercials for prescription drugs. I mean, I understand hawking (otc) drugs, but by prescription only? Talk to my doctor? Don't we have enough hypocondriatics out there without adding more "possibilities"to their self-induced illnesses?

I guess I understand the company's wanting to inform patients of their options, I just find it a tad annoying, that's all. I mean doctors don't have time to learn about ALL the new drugs on the market, I guess.

Am I a bad person?

Things, people, places, situations etc you hate/loathe/dispise/don't like very much belong in Room 101.

3. If you could eliminate any one type of insect permanently from the earth, what would you get rid of? Easy. Cockroaches, since they're of the devil and all. Ugh....I detest them!

4. If you could have lived through any war in history (without actually fighting in it), which would it be? WWII, because our country was at it's finest during this time. Plus, I'd have the opportunity to see my grandparents (Daddy's mom & dad) whom I've never met.

10 Things to Do Before You Get Married

Okay, to be perfectly honest, I have lived with either my parents or my hubby my entire life. I have no idea what's it's like to live for only myself.

I was a "good girl" and never smoked, drank or sneaked our, etc., while at home with my parents and sissy. Once I got married, I knew, and know, EVERYTHING I do has an effect on my marriage.

So, I cannot answer this week's question, as I have never had the opportunity to experience life on my own. Thing is, I wouldn't change it for the world!

Easter, Wikipedia Style

2008-03-21T15:05:00.002-06:00

Easter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Easter, also called Pascha, is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[1] It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crucifixion around AD 33. Many non-religious cultural elements have become part of the holiday, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.

Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter.

Easter is termed a movable feast because it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. Easter falls at some point between late March and late April each year (early April to early May in Eastern Christianity), following the cycle of the moon. After several centuries of disagreement, all churches accepted the computation of the Alexandrian Church (now the Coptic Church) that Easter is the first Sunday after the first fourteenth day of the moon (the Paschal Full Moon) that is on or after the ecclesiastical vernal equinox.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover not only for much of its symbolism but also for its position in the calendar. The Last Supper shared by Jesus and his disciples before his crucifixion is generally thought of as a Passover meal, based on the chronology in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 26:17; Mark 14:12; Luke 22:7). The Gospel of John, however, speaks of the Jewish elders not wanting to enter the hall of Pilate in order "that they might eat the Passover", implying that the Passover meal had not yet occurred (John 18:28; John 19:14).[2] Thus, John places Christ's death at the time of the slaughter of the Passover lamb, which would put the Last Supper slightly before Passover, on 14 Nisan of the Bible's Hebrew calendar.[3] According to The Catholic Encyclopedia, "In fact, the Jewish feast was taken over into the Christian Easter celebration."

Happy Easter to you & yours! Many blessings and much love!

Salad
Fill in the blank: I couldn’t believe it when I heard Elliot Spitzer ACTUALLY got caught.

What type(s) of vitamins and/or supplements do you take on a regular basis? I take a Women's Daily Vitamin and Biotin (this helps with energy and metabolism, my doc said.)

I was going to complain about my old fridge. The door wouldn't shut properly. It hit me in the back sometimes. Three of the door shelves broke and the middle shelf on the inside cracked apart. The freezer was to small and the seel never quite fit correctly.

"The Hubby" got me a new frige AND washer this past weekend. They were delivered yesterday! My new fridge actually matches my other appliances! The shelves are sturdy and unbroken. The freever is HUGE! It is more than I ever expected. Oh, and the washer is AWESOME, too!

YAY for new appliances!

Okay, I know, being a country girl I should LOVE the mere mention of WATERMELON

I don't.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I just really don't like the taste or texture of this boggy fruit. Everyone I know LOVES watermelon. It's a summertime ritual in our family to sit on my grandparent's front porch, eat watermelon and spit the seeds in the sideyard. I never really got into this because I hate the taste. I'm more of a cantelope chick. And the strange thing is, I DO like watermelon-flavored Jolly Rangers.

So, I banish watermelon to Room 101, for myself only, of course! All you melon-lovers out there need not to fear.

They ARE awfully pretty, though....wouldn't you agree?

A Wee Bit O' History......

2008-03-17T08:50:00.002-06:00

St. Patrick's Day honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. Americans march in parades, dance the Irish jig and gather to sing Irish songs. People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, clover with three leaves.March 17 was not the day St. Patrick was born but the day he died. Even though we don't know the date of his birth, most scholars believe the year was 385 AD and the year of his death was 461 AD.

St. Patrick was born in Wales, studied religion to become a priest and then went to Ireland to teach the people about God. There are many wonderful stories about St. Patrick, some true and some not true. The most famous legend is that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. This did not happen but the Irish will tell you that you cannot find a snake throughout the whole country of Ireland.

Thanks to Alphabet-Soup for this brief history of Saint Patrick's Day.

An Exhausting Saturday

2008-03-17T06:55:00.003-06:00

Well, Saturday was an exhausting one for "the hubby" and I.

We went yard-saling in the morning, which I enjoyed.

Then, we had lunch at a Thai restaurant (I LOVE Thai food!)

We got my glasses repaired (the earpads fell off). This took an hour.

We got home and our washing machine did not spin the water out of it's load. We were forced to hang sopping laundry on the line. Not good.

So then, we drove around searching for a new washer. We ended up getting a new one at Sears, along with a new fridge, because the one we have at present has broken shelves and has needed to be replaced for a while.

We then had dinner with my parents. Bob hung my hammock chair on the front porch. Thank goodness he found a support beam that held ALL my weight! (I'm a fattie-butt!)

Needless to say, we rested yesterday. I enjoyed my new swing and will enjoy the new appliances, tomorrow.

Whew..... I'm bushed! :D

Thursday Bug for 3/13/2008

2008-03-13T08:18:00.003-06:00

Sometimes it helps to share with others what bugs your mind. They may have a solution, a kind word, or a smile of encouragement.

It bugs me that my computer won't connect to some websites. I get that stupid "Fatal Error" screen everytime I try to go to certain websites. (NOT porno, thank you very much!)

Irritating much!

Mind Humping...a day late

Today is Department Store Day

1. Do you shop at department stores? Oh, heck yeah! I'm middle class, so department stores are almost my only means of acquiring stuff!

2. What is your favorite department store? Target

3. What do you usually buy at department stores? Most everything...clothes, household goods, snacks, pet food, etc.

4. If you had your own department store, what would you call it and what would you sell there? Et Cetra's and I would run Wal-Mart out of business. They are pure evil! (or so I think...)

Random Movie Review

2008-03-12T08:09:00.002-06:00

Last night, "the hubby" and I watched Slipstream. It starred Anthony Hopkins, so I thought it'd be worth a watch. (I love Sir Anthony)

It was a movie that was totally stream of consciousness. Both interesting and utterly confusing. It stared several wonderful actors, but sadly, only grossed arounf $6,000.00.

Sir Hopkins did compose all the music. which I totally loved.

If you enjoy "sream of consciousness" type movies, give this one a watch.

p.s. "the hubby" liked it, I didn't so much.....

Okay, my absolute fear is of cockroaches.

They are one of the only creations of God I don't mind crushing with my foot. (only with a shoe on, of course!)

They remind me of total filth, disease and corruption. I DETEST their very exsistence! I know, God created them for a reason, but that doesn't undermind the fact that I plan on destroying them with extreme prejudice!

Traps, fogs, chemicals - whatever it takes to rid my life of these "pests" is time and money well spent.

Just the thought of them sets my teeth on edge and makes my skin crawl. Ugghhh!

Manic Monday for March 10, 2007

2008-03-11T08:14:00.008-06:00

What's your favorite thing to spend money on? I enjoy splurging on lipstick, because it is my ultimate favorite cosmetic.

If you could retire tomorrow what would you do? I would enjoy hopping into an RV, with "The Hubby" and traveling around the country. Trying new foods, stopping at "holes in the wall", and generally "goofing off".

Should anything be censored and if so, what and why? Pornography, because, let's face it, it really isn't freedom of anything but filth! Plus, it corrupts minds, causes ordinary people to do things they shouldn't, it demoralizes "love" and it can cause unstable types to slip into criminal acts. I don't see ANY postive ramifications from it. Ugghhhh!

Monday's Memes

2008-03-11T07:59:00.002-06:00

Yesterday, Monday, March 10, I did not get to visit my blog because we ("the hubby" and I) took his mother around town to price monuments for my father-in-law's grave. She doesn't come up here often, so we all spent the day running errands. It was so pleasant just being with her.

After we dropped "The Hubby's" mother off at her house, we dropped by my parnt's house and had dinner with them. It was an absolute surprise, but Gea-Mom handled it well. KUDOS to Gea-Mom! A spaghetti supper with green salad, rolls and peaches for desert.....YUM-O! We ALWAYS enjoy visiting with and imposing upon my parents. It's a tradition! :)

Anywho, I'll be doing Monday and Tuesday's memes today to make up for lost time. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Link Love

2008-03-07T12:21:00.002-06:00

I'm starting a new thing on O So Mo Love.

If someone posts a comment throughout the week on any of my posts, I will link to them in my sidebar.

I will try to update this "link love" every Friday.

Is this a blogroll? And if so, how can I post a real one on my blog? Any suggestions?

Anywho, just a little love can go a long way..... (even virtual link love)

I plan on trying out a new look, so no one be shocked when it's different.

Variety is, as they say, the spice of life.
