What color should your blog be? 2007-04-20 01:57:00 Your Blog Should Be Yellow
You're a cheerful, upbeat blogger who tends to make everyone laugh.
You are a great storyteller, and the first to post the latest funny link.
You're also friendly and welcoming to everyone who comments on your blog.
What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?
HA! LMAO @ the explanation. Cheerful?
You know that contest I won 2007-04-22 20:42:00 Over at Sue's Blog?
Well, the prize was one of her husband's CDs.
I was afeered! I thought it was going to be some dude like Ross Geller (remember when Ross was playing his 'music' for his friends on Friends?). I didn't know what I'd say to her, LOL.
But it's GOOD! I've been listening to it on my i-tunes. I especially like the songs called "Kept on Raining" and "Puff".
*whew*
I'm going
Wheeee - It's all about me 2007-04-21 21:59:00 LOL.
Not really.
Sue asked to be interviewed so I sent her 5 questions. Look at her post here.
She was also having a contest and I won! *thud* I never win anything anymore since I stopped listening to the radio & being caller # 97.
Tackle it Tuesday - 4/24/07 2007-04-24 15:22:00 I don't have any pictures. But my tackle, that I did at about 1 am, was cleaning the microwave.
I buy TV dinners for when I don't feel like cooking. Evan does all the microwave cooking. He is the Microwave Master.
Yesterday I decided to microwave a burrito. In gladware.
I read the directions. They said, for a frozen burrito, cook time was 4-6 minutes. So I put it in there for 6 minutes Read more:Tuesday
New tags 2007-04-23 23:46:00 I was looking at some of my old tags and decided to create a 'credit card' for my current "home".
It makes me hungry.
So then I made one of Hugh.
It makes me hungry too...
Music Meme 2007-04-23 16:52:00 The Cynic tagged me. I think he's getting me back for interviewing him...
What's your 'desert island' album?
I hate that question. How the hell would I end up on a desert island anyway? I only go to Wal-mart. But I'd take Prince - The Hits. Is there electricity on a desert island? How would I listen to the CD???
What's your favorite album/song title? (the *title* which is your fav, not Read more:Music
I changed my blog 2007-04-23 04:56:00 The BG images are different, which you probably wouldn't notice.
And I changed my header.
I futzed with the picture of me. Adding a little more color to my face because I have a sucky webcam and I look very pale & washed out in any photos I take with it.
Now I look so hot in that pic, I'd do myself.
:-)
Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt 55 2007-04-28 07:58:00 Today's theme is Rare. Shockingly, neither TNChick or Sue have their pics up yet, LOL.
**Update** I just found out that TNChick is having some health issues. Stop by and wish her well!
YAY! I beat them both. :-) Insomnia is good for something, LOL.

Evan is the easiest b&a to do, LOL.
He's 3 months old in the first picture. And he's the 11 year old linebacker with the massive shoulders in the second. :-)
As I was reading the comments at CHBM, I saw that Adventures in Babywearing is having a contest. They want bloggers to show themselves without makeup and before any retouching Read more:Photo

I have a massive headache 2007-04-27 05:31:00 After I picked Evan up at tutoring today, I laid on the heating pad and fell asleep.
I woke up about 30 minutes ago. With the massive
headache. Apparently 5 hours of sleep in one stretch is too much for my body to handle.
Post whored at JJHF. (I haven't done that in a while)
Now, just some random stuff that I've wanted to post about for days but I didn't think they each deserved their own
13 Songs I loved in the 80s 2007-04-26 05:31:00 First I have to say that I'm not entirely sure these are all in the 80s, LOL. I'm listening to my 80s playlist right now. But if you're that anal about when the songs were released, you're on the wrong blog.
1. Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel
2. Kyrie - Mr. Mister
3. Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leopard
4. Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
5. Let's Go All the Way - Sly Foxx

The last 2 days 2007-04-26 01:09:00 Well after I tried getting the smell out of the microwave, Mommy Dearest came over at 3:30 (right after I realized that Evan hadn't gotten off the school bus) and told me that he stayed for tutoring (he needs help with math) and to pick him up in back of the school at 4:10.
Fine.
I did. On the way home, I remembered to get a newspaper to stuff in the microwave. (It worked pretty well! A LOT
Foto Pherrets - Music 2007-04-25 22:11:00 I was looking for something to post about today. I found Foto Pherrets. The theme this week is Music

So here's my photo.
These were photos taken at the Discovery Museum in Chattanooga, TN. The sidewalk is downtown Chatt.
My back 2007-05-01 07:42:00 It HURTS.
Really bad.
Saturday we went to the Annual Cornbread Festival.
I couldn't even walk around and take pictures. Mostly I just sat on a bench and people watched.
Mommy Dearest didn't take any pictures either, even though I handed her the camera and said "Take pictures of Evan."
???
*sigh*
I can see why people become drug addicts.
I want an epidural for my back.
I'm tired of
Monday Madness 2007-04-30 18:59:00 Television
1. Currently, what television commercial is your least favorite?
I don't watch commercials now that I have DVR. I rarely watch "live" tv just so that I don't have to watch commercials. PBS is the only thing I watch "live".
2. And which commercial is your most favorite?
I saw this commercial one day when I was about to start watching something recorded. I think I rewound and Read more:Monday

Random Stuff 2007-05-04 23:56:00 Well since my back was hurting so bad this week I really didn't blog all that much or visit any blogs other than my daily reads.
I'm considering going to visit all the other Friday's Feasters. But my back JUST stopped hurting so bad, so I don't think I should sit here that long.
Yesterday when I went to Wal-Mart, I was looking for something (anything) to help my back. (Yes, I refilled my Read more:Random

13 Things I'm going to get at Wal-mart 2007-05-03 19:53:00 I'd have been at wal-mart already if Mommy Dearest hadn't stopped by to get her phone.
I didn't do anything but charge it.
HA!
She said "You're useless"
I said "Well now you have to read the manual and learn about your phone."
She - Well I'm not giving you the number, then.
Me - I won't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number.
She wanted me to look and see if Al Green had released a

Situation Sunday 2007-05-06 17:19:00 Found a new Meme here.
1) You are standing on the edge of a cliff, you have 2 ropes you are hanging on to. On the other end of one rope is one child, and on the other rope is another. You know you can't pull both of them up, only one. What do you do? I would never be standing on the edge of a cliff.
But let's forget reality for a second and pretend that I'm actually able to pull one child up Read more:Sunday

Photo Hunt - Drink 2007-03-17 21:21:00 Today's Hunt category is "Drink
". I found this out on Sue's Blog and I don't know if it has to be alcoholic, or if it just has to be a beverage. Whatever.
The first one is Nestea Enviga. "The Low Calorie Burner". I drink it because I like it, not because I'm trying to burn fat. (Although it wouldn't hurt me any, LOL.) Mine is Peach flavored. Beverages and breath mints are my weaknesses Read more:Photo
I'm still awake 2007-05-09 12:27:00 For the past couple of weeks, I'd been sleeping slightly more normal hours.
I don't remember exactly what happened, but now I'm back to NOT SLEEPING AT ALL.
Today, THE BOY woke me up as SOON as I'd gotten to sleep good. Around 7 pm.
I'd given him the remotes to the TV, the DVD player and the DVR.
I said "I don't care what you do, just don't make any noise."
So

Television 2007-05-09 07:39:00 House was so good tonight. I watched it twice.
I noticed that House seemed more jocular this week than usual, but then I just re-watched "Detox" and "3 stories" so anything is happier than that. BUT, I never guessed that Wilson had been slipping him anti-depressants.
One of the best parts was after House dosed Wilson with the amphetamines and he was tweaking. LMFAO! I laughed so hard I Read more:Television

Because I was bored 2007-05-08 04:26:00 And I really have nothing to blog about.
And I don't feel like blogging about the nothing that I'm doing.
And because I haven't done this in a while.
Best moments from "House". (According to someone else)
I don't normally include the other characters in House when I'm posting youtube videos. But this makes me LOL every time. Look at Chase's face. :-)
Yes, Hugh Laurie is really playing
