This is funny...
GO to Sarah and the Goone Squad..her post from the 30th regarding randomness has a link to another blog which has a list w/ video for the top ten Rap Songs that White people like. I'm so embarrased.. he must have been talking about me.. One that cracked me up..tell me.. (white people w/ no rhythm).. have you been to a club, bar etc.. and Jump Around comes on and your drunk ass starts jumping straight up and down..for the whole song or until you realized you spilled your beer jumping and have to go get another one.. or some idiot jumps on your toe??
Man that is some funny stuff.
2 more things...
I almost forgot... Go over to BIDDY she's doing a contest and giving away a pillow and wallpaper. Those are totally not something I would be interested in since I am not creative like that..and they are in colors I would never use. But they are really cute and expensive looking.
2ndly.. Ms Lucky Gem decided to delurk some folks. I think this should be a trend...find your lurkers!! I think I may have a lurker or two... based on the kids that come by I think I do... like who is in Brazil?? So delurk and say hi..why do people not leave comments..is it cause I'm too boring to leave a comment..or are you speechless due to my brillance..yeah that must be it.
I DID IT I DID IT
Today is November 30th. I have posted every day in the month of November..Who said I can't finish what I start! Oh ... I did.. Well. I proved myself wrong.
Now hopefully I win something.
I am SO ready to go home. I was up at the crackass of dawn today. The red car has a busted belt or something, it's making an aweful noise.. SO I had my friend drive me to work..she is one of those hourly people that is pulling holiday overtime. I was up at 5am this morning...I was out the door by 6am and sitting here working by 7am. It's now 7:45..I'm caught up so I figured I'd get my "day 30" blog out of the way early.
I have no clue what we're doing tonight, I hope it involves watching Shrek 3rd. We ended up watching Meet the Robinsons last time Drew was over and never got to Shrek. Then on Saturday we're going to my MIL to help her put up Christmas decorations then watch the Mizzou Oklahoma game. It is supposed to maybe ice/rain/sleet or something on Saturday into Sunday. I'm crossing my fingers it's just nothing..or rain. If it were snow that would be a different story. I'm going to bring the camera along on Saturday. I want to get some shots of Drew and make Christmas cards. I'm also going to make my FIL a necktie for Chrismas...that Zazzle store thingy on the side. You don't have to buy my pictures. You can use your pictures and create cool gifts. How about getting a T shirt for Grandpa w/ pictures of the kiddos.. or a coffee mug for Grandma w/ her favorite grandpuppy... I think they have some fabulous ideas, I'm totally sold. Yesteday we created a necktie for the big boss w/ our company picture on it.
I have been wanting to go shopping..my BRAIN wants to shop..my heart isn't in it. I have a family discount from Macy's and JJill...I think they both expire on Sunday. I have to get an outfit for the Christmas Party..we do that country club thing every year.. and I also need some new warm pants for work. A black pair. My heart isn't in it though.

Meet The Nerdy Meme
LULU did a really cute meme today and I'm going to steal it...cause I like memes!!
The creative Ms LuLu did her homage to her nerdiness which is all encompassed with her unhealthy love of Anderson Cooper..gay or straight.
I have to admit Miss LuLu..Anderson got it going on..if I were a gay man I'd be all over that..and as a side note I would make a great gay man..I love men and I love show tunes!
But on to the meme. 7 random or weird facts about myself; like LuLu I'd like to talk about my geeky, nerdness.
1. I follow the rules. Traffic laws, signs posted on the wall...I even follow a suggestion. I DO what I'm told. I follow whatever an authority figure tells me to do...I don't usually question if this person really IS an authority figure. I am the FIRST person on the plane with me seat belt fastened, seat up and tray table in the upright position... THE FIRST. I will not unsnap my lap belt after we've landed UNTIL the bell dings and the lights go on. You get the idea?
2. I like nerds. I secretly had a crush on Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter.. and a crush on Mr Kotter too.
3. I think proper girls/women should not go around in belly shirts, tanks w/ no bras or daisy dukes w/ your ass hanging out the back. I have ALWAYS felt this way. Even in the late 1970's, early 80's I never wore my tube top by itself. I always wore my zippered terry cloth top over it. (darling really, it was white and had rainbow trim)
4. I love history and reading. I think these are very nerdy things but I'm very proud of them..I LOVED that I could tell Drew that the Bloody Mary drink was not named after a bloody Blessed Mother yet it was named after Mary Queen of Scots because she wanted to kill all the "non Catholics".. There was lots of blood and dead people and beheadings..there must have been vodka too??
5. I will dress like a nerd and not care about it. My shoes are often "granny"..I have black Mary Jane's that I LOVE.. I don't wear heals and like turtlenecks, sweaters, tshirts and jeans. I very rarely wear dresses. I also don't like socks and my feet smell.
6. Celebrity Gossip.. Yeah, I like it...and that is kind of gay/nerdy of a thing to like. I KNOW Britney got new hair extensions today and that Xtina posed new for Marie Claire. I know that Mel B didn't win Dancing w/ the Stars and I don't even watch that show. You want OLD celebrity gossip? Did you know that Bing Cosby used to abuse his children. Seems that back in the day he was a bit of a nasty mean drunk and he BEAT those kids. At least that is what the older boys from the first marriage said. They would briefly show up on the Christmas Shows w/ matching plaid pants. His darling daughter Mary from marriage #2 said Daddy was a saint. At least that is how I remember it.
7. I love the underdog. Unless my "team" is playing I'm always routing for the underdog.. When it comes to fiction or real life I want the least good looking, dorky one to win..and get the girl..
For Me:
Ponch and Jon.. Jon
The Beatles... George
Hardy Boys.. Parker Stevenson
Charlies Angels.. Sabrina
CBS Hour Drama shows
Love Boat.. Gopher
Only automatic drive cars
NO body piercing or tattoos

Reaching Deep Down for that Holiday Spirit
Ok...I have been complaining about trying to get into the holiday mood of things. So far we have a tree in the foyer..I little plug in jobby, you may have seen my picture of it up on the blogger header.
I have been listening to Holly 103 and Traditional 104 on my drive home every day.
Ummmm and I've been thinking about it alot. J and I discussed Christmas plans last night, that is a step in the right direction.
When we were at my MIL's house we talked about how during the holidays we never get to do what WE want to do. It always seems that we are trying to please someone else. My MIL asked me; "well what do YOU want to do". I had to stop and think about that. No one has ever ASKED me what I wanted. I don't know what I want. Maybe that is my problem.
So I started thinking about what I have liked about the holidays in the past. Don't get me wrong I don't have evil childhood memories or anything like that. Santa was VERY good to me.
I always liked going to holiday parties.
I love dressing in red and green..velvet, velour.
Santa hats
Mistletoe
Fingerfood
Christmas music in the background.
I loved when my friend used to have everyone over and play board games.
I liked going caroling when I was younger.
I love sweaters and turtlenecks w/ cheesy Christmas things.
I like Christmas socks.
I love to receive presents more than give presents.
I like cheesy Christmasy/Hallmark specials on TV
I like childrens Christmas shows like Rudolf and The Year Without A Santa Clause
I love going to Mass on Christmas Eve
I like eating Ravioli on Christmas Day
As soon as I have a house large enough to entertain I am making people come to ME...I am going to open gifts with my family on Christmas Eve..I don't want to go anywhere except Church on Christmas Eve...I want to open gifts then go to bed. Then in the morning I want to cook...I want people to come in and out of my house ALL day brining me presents....NO I mean eating food and having drinks and playing games and watching TV. That is what I want. Now there is barely room for the three of us and the three pets.. Next house I guess.... Yep..that is what I truley want.
I love it!!
My pirate name is:
Red Mary Flint
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Jack and the candycane chewy
Here is a new picture of Jack..I know I hadn't shared one in a while and I'm SURE you were all dying to see one!!
What will you be doing Saturday??
7PM..CST....
I hope to be sitting in front of that fireplace...having some yummy snacks.. It's monday and I'm looking foward to Saturday is that a bad thing??
Fa La La La La
I am TRYING to get into the Christmas spirit but it isn't working. I turn on holiday music and I've even gone as far as sprucing up the blog..I think it feels less Fally now doesn't it?
We are going to put up decorations at my mother in law's on Saturday. I guess there is no reason J and I don't start doing stuff around the house this weekend. He always wants to include Drew... poor kid could care less.. I of course was the worst as a child. I HATED putting up the tree and bringing up the boxes from the basement and then wrapping the gifts. I'm the same way to this day..although being w/ J makes it more fun..he enjoys decorating so much it rubs off a bit. Maybe I'll be more in the spirit when we get the house decorated.
I'll take any ideas on making the blog more holidayish.. Should I change the colors?

autumn fireplace
football to my right..and this was my view straight ahead... I took this tonight then doctored it up with my oilpaint technique.
Oh Yeah Baby- Mizzou Defeats Kansas
WHAT A GAME!!
That was fun! Kansas really didn't have a very tough schedule this year and the pundints of NCAA Football kept talking about how great they were. Mizzou NEVER was behind. The game ended w/ a safety..which was a bit hysterical.
My SIL lives in Kansas, just over the border. She had friends over, all KU alumn..only she and her husband were routing for the Tigers.
That would have been fun to be at that game, but damn it looked cold.
Now we have next Saturday...playing Oklahoma..who was our only loss of the season for the Big 12 Title.
Jack is spending the night at Grandma and Grandpas...that means BB gets to sleep until she wakes up, beauty!

My duty post...
I almost forgot to post today...I was able to sleep late, then I took Jack for puppy grooming. Hims gotta a shampoo that smells like gingerbread and his toenails cut and his toofers brushed. He was THRILLED...let me tell you.
Tonight I took Dad and Aunt Norma to church. They were celebrating Christmas On The Hill..which I forgot about. It looks beautiful though down in the hood. Everything is decorated and there are lights up. Santa is there as well as carriage rides.
Father ended mass with "If you would like to stay a while and listen to the Christmas Caroles you can...or you can just stay and pray for Mizzou".
We're off to my Mother In Laws! M I Z Z O U...cheer along with me! This is for #1~

MP Movie Review
You do not need a child to take some time out and see Enchanted! We took Drew this afternoon to a packed theater and laughed our booties off. This movie has everything. Patrick Dempsy, Pretty Princess, Talking Chipmunk, Wicked Step-Mother..singing, dancing...and roaches cleaning the living room. I guess it was a chick flick and would be best for "little girls" that adore princesses but it really has something for everyone. I'd love to see it again!
In other news...DID YOU SEE ARKANSAS UPSET LSU!!!!!!!! OMG!!!
So tomorrow's game Mizzou VS Kansas is HUGE. The winner will move into the #1 spot! We had planned our afternoon around the game. Then of course they moved the game to 7pm..Primetime TV and all. Some friends were getting together but we couldn't do both. We're going to my MIL's house w/ about 15 other family members..we're calling it our "football Turkey burp"...We'll eat any leftovers that they have and watch football. All except one of my step-brothers-in-law....who says that he must be home alone to watch the game..which I totally can appreciate.
It's so COOL that today is only Friday! Gotta Love that!!
