Earplugs....I need earplugs

One.........because American Idol sucked ass tonight. No one (except Paris) could hold a freaking tune. I was definitely not interested in this tonight. I don't think anyone should vote this week. They all sucked.

Two........because my hub is chuching about how horrible the show is which is only making me crazier by the second. Then he gets on the phone with Wendy (who called for me) and won't let me on........the minute he hands me the phone he grabs my lapper and proceeds to browse through stuff commenting on everything (may I remind you i'm trying to have a phone conversation??).

On to better things.........parties. I have a party coming up this Saturday and I need some help as to what I should take as my 'drink of the night'.......long term drink. There will be plenty of shots and all that but what would be a good drink that would be the evening 'staple' for me? Margaritas? Bahama Mamas? French Martinis? (No french martinis, that involves measuring and mixing and i need something easy that just involves popping off a cap and drinking). Suggestions will be accepted until noon on Saturday!
Food....I need to take some food too. Any suggestions?

Oh- and it's April Fools Day! Last year I played some good tricks on people but I can't use the same tricks 2 years in a row...........got any good tricks???

Ahhh........the fun we have

For some reason when the group from work goes out for 'happy hour' it always ends up being an all evening/night event. Hmmm........there must be something to that.
We went to the Mechanicsburg G-man Friday night to celebrate the 1 week anniversary of Roxanne's 40th........because, as you know, she does celebrate her birthday all month! Here's the lowdown....

Rox was hammered.
Denise was also hammered.
AMY BEHAVED! (2 beers and 3/4 of a vodka/cranberry) - no shots!
A certain person (who will remain nameless so as not to tarnish is 'good boy' image) was spotted by security coming out of the ladies bathroom.
Kev showed up fashionably late.
Roxy's hub even showed up- not sure if this is because he was called to come and get her or if he was just curious as to how things were going.
Burton did wear the boots and jeans, but slacked on the hat wearing.
Last but not least, Creelman gave the toast of the year as we each 'phoned a friend' who could not be with us so they wouldn't miss the event.

I think everyone had a great time, as usual.

Saturday I scrapped from 9-1, played bingo from 2 till 5:30, then back to scrapping. Bingo was fun, I WON!! Woo who!! JJ won a raffle, Roxanne won 3 or 4 door prizes........not sure how her name got in there multiple times, but she was definitely hot yesterday!

Today I'm off to the movies with Kristie and Lisa. Chick Flick Day.

Tonight it's 'shut the phone/lights off and watch the Sopranos on the big screen' time!

St. Patty's Day in AC

Hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day! I know at least 6 of us did!

I got to spend St. Patty's Day in Atlantic City with Royalty! Yes, you heard it, Royalty. Princess McCombs, the illegitimate daughter of the King of Zamibia, turned 40 on Friday so a group of us headed to AC to celebrate. Princess McCombs wore her diamond tiara all evening and toasted the occasion quite frequently. I taught Kevin and Rox how to play Pai Gow poker, Kevin cleaned up for a while and so did Rox. We all made out great playing that game, all except the nasty woman sitting next to Kevin who gets "Free" rooms at the Plaza because she comes there so often. (If she considers losing 400-500 bucks at Pai Gow a "free" room.......more power to her.)

We then went to the Liquid Bar and had shots and drinks. Then walked up to Ceasars where we played video poker for a while. Oh- then there was Skip Bo (or whatever Kevin kept calling it). This crazy game with 3 dice that the dealer shakes after you place your bet on whatever combination you think may come up. Let me tell you.......there was this TOTAL weirdo there telling us how to play (hello, there's no strategy involved here, you lay your bet, she rolls the dice and you either win or lose) and he did NOT like it because I was betting on 13 and 14 alot which had 1-8 and 1-10 odds and KEPT WINNING. He was pissed! He also had an issue with spitting when he talked which was really gross so we finished up and took off. Gross.

Then there was Johnchall..........I cannot elaborate on this but none the less, Johnchall was in the house!

At 2am Roxanne and I were starving so we walked back to Trump Plaza and hit the buffet. At 3 we landed in bed and by 3:05 the freight train was in full motion. I haven't heard such snoring since January of 2005 when I spent the weekend in Cape May with Cindy and Wendy! I tried waking her several times to roll over, which she did but 2 seconds later the train started right up again. Then there was this strange hissing sound, I thought for a moment there was a bike tire in the room that just sprang a leak. At one point I turned the light on in the room to try and rectify this horrible situation but she just rolled over and revved up her engine.........no sleep for me!

Saturday we ate lunch with Kevin and then Rox and I took off for the Borgata. After almost missing our turnoff and cutting from the left lane across the right lane and hitting the 45 degree angle exit at mock speed (being beeped at) ........we made it! The Borgata is beautiful! We walked around a little then sat at a bar and played video poker while sipping (well....i guzzled) down two FANTASTIC Bloody Mary's. After I had a nice little buzz we left for home.

I also learned a new trick this weekend! I can crawl from the front of Roxy's car to the back, open up the seat and get stuff out of the trunk all while she's screaming down the AC Expressway at mock speed, then back myself up into the passenger seat again. I first tried it on the way down while going rather slowly during traffic on the Schuylkill......once I mastered that, I tried it on the way home while on the AC Expressway.

Needless to say, when I arrived home Saturday aroundn 6:30pm, I was pooped and ready for some sleep, not just a 2 hour nap, but some REAL sleep. I managed to sleep for 10 hours! Mission accomplished.

What is WRONG with you people???

Seriously..........WTF? There is NO WAY Ace sang worse than that little lisping pipsqueak Kevin!
No way. No how. I don't get it. Vote vote Vote! I WILL be voting for Ace next week for 2 solid hours. I don't care if he forgets ALL the lyrics next week. He's getting the Hebe vote!
I'm going to FREAK if they boot him this week. FREAK! (just got off the phone from a little vent session with Swauger, then with Weaves...........they aren't happy either)

7 minutes to go.............

LISA? In the bottom? This is SERIOUSLY jacked! I cannot believe this.

Commercials.....tap tap tap tap tap...........we're waiting..........there are too many commercials during this show. I don't have the patience for this.........tap tap tap tap............

They're back.......drumroll please. ACE IS SAFE!!!!!! Thank the maker!

Over and out.

Full Moon

I'm trying to watch American Idol........and apparently Mike thinks that during the commercials it's "lets pick on Amy time"........i've been poked, hit in the head with a pillow (more than once), he even went so far as to grab my gorgeous right foot and BEND MY TOES FOWARD trying to crack them........this means war. So what do I do? I wait until he sits right next to me on the couch and nail him in the thigh with my fist! Any bike rider/racer knows this is the ultimate punishment for being such a simpleton. Well deserved. Hey- at least I've got the couch to myself now! hehehe!!!

You can tell it's a full moon tonight....the natives at work were restless and the neighborhood natives are restless as well. Wendy's in rare form........I walked over to visit after work and she was half way through a beer, although that may not have been her first. Bob was out playing on the Kubota, wrapped up like an eskimo pushing dirt all over the place.

Melissa McGee is messing up BIG TIME.........off key AND missed the lyrics. Bye bye!

Roxanne, Melissa and I are gearing up for our trip to AC on Friday. Can't wait to see Roxy walking around with her tiara on all night! She IS a queen you know..........anyway, stay tuned for some interesting stories and photos of the weekend!

**Disclaimer** If I have your cell phone number it may be a good idea for you to make sure it's turned off early Friday night. I cannot be held responsible for any phone calls you may receive from me at insane hours of the night!

191 hits......tee hee

"Me" seems to be baffled that my profile has 191 hits on it......vs. his measley 70 something.
Hm......I wonder how that is? Beats me! Oh- maybe it was the posting of the perfect little feet, they saw the pictures and had to find out who's behind those masterpieces! I'm sure that's it!
Or, it could be that I'm linked to DK and he's quite popular you know!

Another nice weekend is about to come to an end........Friday I went to Happy Hour over at Molly Branigans with Mike's cronies from work. It was a good time. Saturday I had some girls over for some scrapbooking then went to babysit my youngest neice, Maggie. She's so adorable. We watched Monsters Inc. together and she snuggled on my lap the whole time. She loves to lay on my lap. Today I was over at my Dad's for a while then went shopping. I had to buy something for my upcoming trip to Atlantic City with the girls! Mission Accomplished!

The icing on the cake has yet to come......tonight........9:00 PM..........The Sopranos! Can't wait. My phone BETTER not ring ONCE during that show. I will not answer it, I may even take it off the hook. Yes, I think I'll do that. The Sopranos is by far the best show on TV and we've been waiting almost 2 years for this season to start! Hi-Def Sopranos........can't wait!

Till next weekend.........have a good one!

Aim......Shoot......SCORE!!!

Hobbes (aka the fat POS a-hole cat) scored some major points with me today..........

First.......click on the link to "The Husband" and read the post titled "Giving Credit". It will make it all too clear just how much Mike loves the flour and butter eating cat.

Then.......let me tell you about the phone call I got at work this morning. It seems Mr. Mike came downstairs to leave for work, walked toward the door to get his shoes on only to see that Mr. Hobbes barfed IN his shoe! HAHAHA! I was losing it! In the shoe, around the shoe, hilarious! I guess that's what happens to the digestive system of animals that do absolutely nothing for 20 hours a day then eat and eat like it's their last meal. Oh yeah - did I mention he doesn't have many teeth so it was probably nice and chunky too! HAHAHAHA
