I Have No Clothes

The best thing about finding a diet or diet pills that work is losing weight. I recently lost 25 pounds and now nothing I have fits me. I'm still dieting and I want to lose 20 more pounds so I can get back to my "pre-kids" weight. This is a good thing me losing weight, but the bad thing is that I have nothing to wear! The weather has been getting hotter and I went to put on a pair of shorts and none of them fit me now, they are all way too big! Yet another good thing, but now I have to go buy more shorts to last me through out the summer. I hate to go out and spend money on clothes while I'm still losing weight. It seems like a waste of money to me and in this economy wasting money is a very bad thing. Until I hit a thrift shop and pick up some cheap shorts I'm going to have to borrow some of my teenaged daughters shorts, but man have you seen some of the shorts they wear? They are short shorts! I'm definitely going to have to hit the thrift shops soon!

Quote Of The Week

Quote of the Week is a weekly post where I post a quote from a famous individual...Sometimes funny, sometimes inspirational, and sometimes just plain stupid.

This week's Quote of the Week is from actress Jessica Alba.


“My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing.” - Jessica Alba















Definitely, I think confidence is the best accessory!

Celebrity Endorsement

Celebrity endorsement is everywhere! The hock everything from perfume, to computers, to washer and dryers. Often we see women celebrities doing skin care and weight loss products. Things they say a certain wrinkle cream will make you look younger and talk about a slimming pills review and how it will make you loss weight. My question for you is are you more likely to buy something just because a celebrity endorses it? If not then why do these companies pay the celebrities so much to endorse it? Let's face it, celebrity sells.

What Is She Wearing!

Singer Landy Gaga recently wore this outfit to an art exhibit. I'm just wondering if she thought this outfit was an exhibit. The bottom half kinda looks like a hot air balloon. Seriously, would you wear this?

Women Can Do Anything

I totally believe that girls can do anything they want to. Sure having a man around to do the dirty jobs is handy, but just because it's a un-girly dirty job doesn't mean we can't do it ourselves. I'm all for being girly girly sometimes, but I have done my fair share of un-girly dirty jobs and I'm proud of it. I've changed my own oil, replaced a muffler and put an alternator in my sisters car. I had my father show me how to do these things so I did have a little help, but I did them. I think it's important for women to be able to do things like this for ourselves and not depend on a man to do them for us. Now I'm not saying you have to go and do a motor job on your car, but I am saying that you should be able to pump your own gas, check your oil, and learn how to change a tire in case of a flat.

So tell me, what un-girly dirty things have you done that you are proud of?

My choice this week is 'Drops Of Jupiter' by Train.



Lyrics
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Out of all the kittens at my house (you don't even wanna know) I think this one is my favorite! She's the runt of the litter and my daughter has named her Willow. Now, just because she named her doesn't mean she's going to get to keep her. I've made a new rule, one of each type of animal. I'm not as mean as it sounds, she still gets to keep her dog, hamster, turtle and ONE cat.

Not Mr.Right Rejection Letter

This is totally just for fun, but feel free to print this off and send it out as needed. LOL!

Dear ______________ ,

I regret to inform you that you have been eliminated from further contention as my Mr. Right.

As you are probably aware, the competition was exceedingly tough and dozens of well-qualified candidates such as yourself also failed to make the final cut. I will, however, keep your name on file should an opening become available. So that you may find better success in your future romantic endeavors, please allow me to offer the following reason(s) you were disqualified from the competition:

[Check all those that apply]


___ Your last name is objectionable. I can't imagine taking it, hyphenating it, or subjecting my children to it.

___ The fact that our finest dining experience to date has been at McDonald's reveals a thriftiness that I find unappealing.

___ You failed the 20 Question Rule, i.e., I asked you 20 questions about yourself before you asked me one.

___ Your "Putting on a few, aren't you babe?" comment, given the 9-months pregnant size of Your Own beer gut, was inappropriate.

___ The fact that your apartment has been condemned reveals an inherent slovenliness that I fear is unbreakable.

___ The phrase "My Mother" has popped up far too often in conversation.

___ You still live with your parents, and attending night classes to get your High School diploma, are slight negatives.

___ You mention your ex-wife's name more than you mention mine.

17 Again

17 Again is a comedy that stars Zac Efron and Matthew Perry. Mike (Perry) is a 37 year old whose wife is divorcing him as his kids thinks he's a loser. Mike blames all his problems on marrying his high school sweetheart (because she got pregnant) and not going to college and pursuing his basketball career. He wishes he could go back and do it all over again, and guess what he gets his chance.....he turns back into 17 again (Efron).

I was worried when I first decided to see this movie that it would be a teen movie, but you know what, it really wasn't. It's more about a man realizing just how much he loves his wife and kids. Okay this movie is going to attract a LOT of teen aged girls just because Zac Efron is in it, but it really was a cute movie. It had a lot of hilarious parts in it. It was a little reminiscent of the movie '13 Going On 30' starring Jennifer Gardner, but I still really enjoyed it. It was a fun movie to watch.

I'm feeling really retro today so I'm going to choose a hard rock classic by Alice Cooper ,"Poison".



Lyrics
Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill

I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to break these chains

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace on sweat

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (And pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (Deep in)
I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison, yeah
I don't want to break these chains
Poison, oh no
Runnin' deep inside my veins,
Burnin' deep inside my veins
It's poison
I don't wanna break these chains

My husband has a pet turtle. It's a red-eared slider and he's had it about two years. This turtle is his baby, some men have cars they baby, but he has a turtle. He buys special food for it, turtle treats, water conditioner, and even pet supplements. The only thing about this turtle, his name is Alex, but I call him Evil, is that the turtle hates me. I tried to help hubby clean the tank out and when I held Alex, a.k.a. Evil, he hissed at me! And it's just me he hates, he loves it when our daughter rubs his neck.

Kevin's Looking Not So Hot Anymore

Kevin Federline is not on my top celebrity watch list so I really didn't know what was up with him as of late. When I saw a recent picture of him, wow...man he has sure gone down hill.


He pretty much looks like crap compared to what he used to look like when he was married to Britney Spears. I'm not saying he needs some car lifts to pick him up, but he sure has put on the weight. Britney might have been a little wacko, but at least she kept him looking good...I'm just saying.

Quote Of The Week

This week's Quote of the Week is from singer/actress Jennifer Lopez.

“Beauty is only skin deep. I think what's really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit. Somebody said to me not too long ago, 'Until you're twenty, you have the face you are born with, and after that you have the face you deserve', and I really loved that - the idea that you wear who you are on your face.” - Jennifer Lopez







I am quite impressed by this quote.

Man: "Your place or mine?"
Woman: "Both. You go to yours, and I'll go to mine."

Man: "So, what do you do for a living?"
Woman: "I'm a female impersonator."

Man: "Hey baby, what's your sign?"
Woman: "Do not enter."

Man: "How do you like your eggs in the morning?"
Woman: "Unfertilized."

Man: "Your body is like a temple."
Woman: "Sorry, there are no services today."

Man: "I would go to the end of the world for you."
Woman: "But would you stay there?"

Man: "If I could see you naked, I'd die happy."
Woman: "If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing."

This week my pick is one of my favorite songs of all time, 'I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing' by Aerosmith.




Lyrics

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

(Chorus)
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

(chorus)
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss

Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

(Chorus)
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing

"I love the smell of shampoo on a girl's hair. You can walk past someone and be like, 'Wow, you took a shower this morning, didn't you? Because you smell lovely!" - Jensen Ackles

Men Are Like

Blenders
You need one, but you're not quite sure why.

Chocolate Bars
Sweet, smooth, and they usually head right for your hips.

Coffee
The best ones are rich, warm, and can keep you up all night long.

Commercials
You can't believe a word they say.

Computers
Hard to figure out and never have enough memory.

Coolers
Load them with beer and you can take them anywhere.

Copiers
You need them for reproduction, but that's about it.
Curling Irons
They're always hot, and they're always in your hair.

Government Bonds
They take way too long to mature.

Horoscope
They always tell you what to do and are usually wrong.

Lava Lamps
Fun to look at, but not all that bright.
Mascara
They usually run at the first sign of emotion.

Parking Spots
The good ones are already taken and the ones that are left are either handicapped or extremely small.

Popcorn
They satisfy you, but only for a little while.

The Weather
Nothing can be done to change either one of them.

Spring Fashion Trends

Now that Spring is here all the latest fashion trends are starting to make an appearance.

Short pants

Bright colors like orange

80's inspired neon

Distressed jeans

I'm not sure if I would wear any of these latest Spring trends. The short pants kinda looks like she's going to a flood. The color orange does not look good on some people. I loved he 80's, but I don't want to go back there. Those jeans look like something you would pant the house in. What do you think, would you wear any of these fashion trends?

The Haunting In Connecticut

I like horror movies. Gore really doesn't scare me, sure it's gross, but I don't find it scary. Ghost movies scare the living bageebas out of me though! The Haunting In Connecticut freaked me right out! Okay so I'm scared of ghost, so what, maybe it was because this movie was based on actual events that made it a little more scary to me, but either way this movie made me hide my eyes a whole lot of times.

The Haunting In Connecticut is based on actual events by the Snedeker family's encounter with the paranormal in a haunted house. The family rented a house close to a hospital because their oldest son was undergoing cancer treatment. What they didn't know is that the house was haunted by ghosts. I don't want to give too much away to this movie, but just so that you know it is very freaky.

Here is The Haunting In Connecticut movie trailer.

If you want to be scared, then this is definitely the movie to see....just be sure to bring your boyfriend or husband with you so you can bury your eyes in their shoulder when the real scary parts appear.

Viva la Vida Video

Lyrics
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

This is another gorgeous sky picture that my daughter has taken. She took it at 6:30 am when she gets up for school. I have no idea how she is so awake at that time, it takes me 20 minutes and a cup of coffee before my eyes can even focus. I think this is a gorgeous sky, it kinda reminds me of the sky over the Pigeon Forge hotels. Okay maybe not, but I still think it's a pretty sky.

4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.

5. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.

6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.

7. Definition of a bachelor; a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.

Quote Of The Week

Quote of the Week is a weekly post where I post a quote from a famous individual...Sometimes funny, sometimes inspirational, and sometimes just plain stupid.

This week's Quote of the Week is from actress Alicia Silverstone.

"I think that the film 'Clueless' was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness." - Alicia Silverstone














What? Is she serious? She can't be talking about the same movie 'Clueless' that I'm thinking of....is she?
