Happy Birthday Charley!!

I thought I got my car on the 17th of March, but apparently it was on the 16th, as this morning I received a call from my friendly car salesman. Who am I kidding, it was a recording, however, it was a nice reminder.

Still love my car today as much as when I got it. She needs a little nip/tuck (scratches buffed out) here and there, but overall, she is holding up really well. Thanks for getting me where I need to go and most of all for not talking back!!

Time, Slow Down!!

March 11, 2010 - the Twinkies are 5 years old!! I can't believe it has been five years since they were born, but really, Minnie talks like she is 10 and Mickey thinks he is old enough to own a gun and drive.

Minnie has matured so much in the past year, so much that she thinks that today, on the day she turns 5, she gets to automatically go to Kindergarten, however, she also believes that she doesn't have to attend school on her birthday (well, it IS a holiday she rationalizes). She is in love with an older boy that lives across the street from Grammie and Poppa, and gets very jealous when she doesn't get the attention she deserves. Minnie is a bright little girl who I believe will be very witty.

Mickey (I am sure before long he will make me quit calling him Lukey and require me to stick with Luke), who only a few years ago made me call him "Son" and was not interested at all in boy things, however, in the past few years, he has learned to love all things boy, such as hunting, fishing, getting dirty and riding his bike. Mickey can such a sweet boy, and loves to help, as well as get attention for helping (hmm, sounds like someone else I know!).

I am so blessed to have these little bits in my life and look forward to watching them drive their mother crazy.

Is this Strange?

Why yes, it is. No, I am not that hard up for blog material, this was just a funny occurrence. While at a family function, my sister in law dropped a cigarette and the cat went after it like she wanted to smoke. The cat playing with a cigarette entertained us for a good 5 minutes.

Interesting how family get togethers can lead to such strange entertainment. Here is another example:


At X-mas, granny got a flag pole, Miller's daughter got a hat, and Miller had a few drinks. We ended up with a "hunting" picture.

Movies that make me want to leave

We went to see Brooklyn's Finest last night. Don't worry, I am not going to "spoil" the movie for you, however, I just have to say I cannot stand watching movies that have killing more than a story line. It just made 130+ minutes of evening wasted. However, I did get a good opportunity to witness some great parenting - and that is taking your children ages 4 and approximately 6 to a movie of this caliber. Genius.

Compliments

Some days do you feel cuter than others??? You know, the day your hair is going in the direction you want it to, somehow you have managed to put together a cute outfit and you just feel above par??

Well, this is how I felt on Wednesday, until the ONLY compliment I received was from a homeless man sitting outside the Courthouse. I know this should have made me feel good, however, he really was just buttering me up before asking me for some change. As much as I wanted to pay him for his "compliment" I only had pennies and just ignored him.

Still not sure if I wish he would have kept quiet, or just not asked me to pay him for his compliment. Hmmmmm

Clarification

1. my cat never got very close to my chest.
2. i should have never told this story b/c it is a bit confusing
3. i am not a crazy cat lady
4. i really want a dog.

I Can't Explain It

and my roommate is probably going to wonder why in the hell I am telling everyone this...BUT

My baby kitty, Jordy, has recently started trying to milk me. What!!??! you ask? Well, she has been crawling up in my lap and kneading on my arm to the right or left of my mammary glands, then tucks her head right by my mammary gland. (and you know, my mammary glands aren't the most endowed mammary glands....) I just can't bring myself to take a picture and show you. It is the most uncomfortable situation, and yes, I move her, but she has continually done this for the past few days.

I think it is the robe I wear that she likes, and I told my roommate I am going to make him wear the robe to test my theory, but quite honestly, I am not sure if I can test this b/c she is just a momma's girl. She is in my lap every time I am on the couch or in bed watching TV.

Help me, I am really freaked out here!!
