To hold you over until I have time for a real post

Describe me in ONE WORD...just one word! (no, we're not fishing for a compliment).
Leave in my comment section. Then copy and paste this message onto your blog if you have nothing better to do and see what we say about you!

Lame, yes.
Time consuming, nope!

Daggum it, blow out

My knee is a stupid whore. Twice on Thursday it went out on me while I was making homemade soup. Then, Friday after a light shopping trip to Target it filled with fluid. And not just a little fluid, a cubic buttload of fluid. I could barely walk. Brian and Sue had me put ice on it which froze the fluid and made it worse (but I found out today that ice was the best thing for it). Anyway, somehow drove myself home and proceeded to spend the weekend hobbling on crutches between the couch and bed. The hubby was in Columbus for the Elton John concert. Luckily my Dad was there and he could take the dogs out. It is still pretty bad. Seems to getting a bit better. I have been trying to get in touch with my ortho doc today with no luck. Hope the damn thing doesn't fall off.

I walk like a 90 year old lady with a stick up her ass, by the way. Need more ibuprofen, please.

Naked Thursdays....

get your mind out of the gutter people, I mean the naked truth. I've waited a few days to post this so as not to rub certain people's noses in the fact that their football team sucks donkey balls. I can wait no longer. As my niece displays the Terrible Towel, let us lift our voices once again to cheer the mighty Steelers! You may not be able to read the writing on our lovely assistant's face - let me tell you what it says. It says "Go Steelers." No worries, we used washable eyeliner.

For those of you who missed it, the Steelers whomped the Browns a good one. We are totally going to the Super Bowl. To all you haters, suck it up. You shouldn't have left Model leave in the first place, that motherless goat.

some pics to make up for not blogging

For your viewing pleasure! Here are the lovely Lo Lo and the mystical Mel hard at work.....
Please tune in tomorrow when our theme will be Naked Thursdays.

Lottery be mine tonight!

I will post something new soon. Experiencing technical difficulties currently. By technical I mean work and by difficulties I mean kicking my ass and sucking the life out of me. That me be a little over dramatic, but pretty much right on!

Missed y'day due to sinus headache and sore throat. Still feel like complete shit, but back at work. And to those of you who bitch and say I should stay home while sick - get some better daytime television and I may just do that. Holy mother of ASS t.v. sucks in the daytime.

Hoping to win the lottery tonight...it is over $300 million. If I win I will offer to pay the Republican party one million dollars if I can bag tag Bush.

I want my blankie and a pillow, please

Seems that no matter how much sleep I get I just don't feel rested anymore. I think I am fighting off a cold, but it hasn't really come full force. I did get my flu shot earlier in the week (what a scam) so maybe the effects of that? Or it could be because I'm on the verge of middle age. Ugh.

Tonight I'm having dinner with the family. I'm very excited as my granddaughter will be in attendance! I made a big pot of sauce last night and it is going to simmer in the crock pot all day. Mmmmmm. Also making homemade garlic bread when I get home from work. For dessert we are having strawberry shortcake with your choice of chocolate or regular whipped cream. Dinner will be followed by a rousing game of cards, or perhaps a board game. I love family night!

Think it would be ok if I took a nap at work in order to be well rested for my evening? I think it would be ok.

I am too old to behave this way!

If you would like to see proof that with age does not come maturity, go check out Brian's blog entry from yesterday. You will also see why my body is one giant bruise and I can barely wear a shoe. I had so much fun at Rach's house on Saturday it isn't funny. At one point we thought we should try out our WWF moves on my brother in law Marc who is a very solid strong like bull man. We got him down, but I am pretty sure it hurt us more than him. Try not to be too turned on by my giant blue ass in the air in the one pic. And just for Nick, you will notice that my hair is covering my face in all pictures! Unfortunately you also cannot see my new kick ass Steeler's shirt that Nancy gave me. I'll work on getting some pics in of that!

Alright, time to go in search of a body to switch with because man does mine hurt. Getting old sucks donkey balls, and not in the good way.

B-day wrap up

Thank you thank you thank you to Lo Lo for throwing me an awesome birthday party at work yesterday. I had the post all ready and the whore that blogger is shut down and I lost it.

So far the birthday festivities have been wonderful. Monday was Halloween and I have recovered nicely from my pity party.

Tuesday was my actual birthday. Went to dinner with Sue, Brian, Seth and Rachel. It was great. I had a lot of fun with them and they were very generous and gave me awesome gifts.

Last night was bowling. My Mom rocks my world. She remembered that last year I requested a casada cake made w/chocolate cake. She made a most excellent chocolate casada cake and I have the left-overs at home for tonight! I may eat the whole bowl!

Speaking of tonight, I am going to dinner at Bravo with my best friend Tammy. I love that place! Good wine and great food.

Tomorrow night is the family dinner at Olive Garden. I’m looking forward to hanging with my family.

Saturday there is a shin dig at Rachel’s house in celebration of my birthday, and fall, and the hot tub working again! Yay! Rach has to work all weekend but hopefully I’ll get to see her for a bit.

Nothing Sunday, and then Monday I am going to dinner with Lo Lo, Barb and Sharon in Little Italy for my bday. Holy cow! What a week. I may gain like 100 pounds but I’m so old now I won’t remember!

Thanks to all who have made this such a wonderful birthday and made me feel so special, and not short bus special for once!

Older, but not wiser

The picture is a little fuzzy, but these are the gorgeous flowers that my husband sent me for my birthday. Thanks, Pokey!

Thanks to all for all of the birthday wishes you have extended!

Also, check out Brian's blog - he posted some not so flattering pics of me!!

It's going to be a great year.
