Friday Fill In 2007-05-11 23:07:00 I remember watching something with Hugh Laurie where he said "Fill Out a form? This isn't America, shouldn't it be Fill IN the form?" Probably A Bit of Fry & Laurie. The more I think about it, I think it was the sketch when his car got stolen and he went to the new police station to report it.
Anyway.
Found this meme today
1. It's Friday
! Woohoo!
2. Only 13 more days til school starts.

Mother's Day Giveaway 2007-05-11 22:40:00 5 Minutes for Mom is having several contests for Mother's Day.
The prizes include a 4GB Apple iPod Nano, jewelry, “Hannah Keeley’s Total Mom Makeover - The Six Week Plan to Completely Transform Your Home, Health, Family, and Life.”, mommy cards and a baby carrier.
Go enter!
Or don't.
It betters my chances of getting some jewelry if you don't.
Nevermind.

Notes on a Scandal 2007-05-11 00:42:00 Awesome.
The acting by ALL of the characters was great.
Judi Dench stars as Barbara Covett. (Ironic name choice.) She's a teacher. One day, a new art teacher (Cate Blanchett) starts work at the same school. Scandal
ensues.
I don't want to get into what the movie is about in case you haven't seen it. I just want to talk about the performances.
I only know Judi Dench from "As time goes Read more:Notes
I won the lottery!!! 2007-05-10 21:21:00 $65,000.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I can get me a double-wide.
Now all I have to do is use this money that they gave me:
as a partial payment to claim my money. From the lottery. In Australia. The check is from Detroit, MI. The letter is from England...
It will only cost me an additional $3000 for taxes and a finder's fee for Gould Products to get my money! I'll end up with $58,000.
My 13 favorite episodes of House, MD 2007-05-10 08:42:00 See that expression? He's embarrassed because I'm blogging about him again.
But I've been here for a couple of hours playing Cubis and I still can't think of a Thursday Thirteen Topic. I don't have 13 favorite flavors of ice cream. Or 13 favorite alcoholic drinks. It's music, movies, books and Hugh Laurie. I considered a "13 things that suck about being a mother" but The Boy hasn't hit Read more:episodes

Dame Judi Dench 2007-02-13 11:03:00 I watch "As time goes by" on PBS every day. Well, 6 days a week. And the one day that it doesn't come on, I'm jonesing for it.
Anyway, in the later episodes, I keep thinking how attractive Judi Dench is. With the white hair. Not when it still had some color.
I hope when I'm 73(!!!) I can still be considered attractive.
When I see her in interviews, I like her. I like her laugh. She
Lunch 2007-05-15 21:12:00 So I called Mommy Dearest this morning and asked her if she wanted to have Mexican for lunch.
So she came to pick me up at noon.
I KNOW you're wondering WHY I ask her if she wants to do something when she gets on my nerves so much, LOL.
Because I won't have to drive.
:-)
So we went to the restaurant that has new owners every other month. I've been craving a taco for a couple of weeks now, Read more:Lunch
Tuesday Memes & Questions & Stuff & Thangs 2007-05-15 17:30:00 3 Things
What are 3 things that are on your desk right now that shouldn't be?
1. Proof of insurance cards. They should be in my car & wallet. :-)
2. A Halloween Card that Meg sent me.
3. An open but undrunk (??) can of Diet Coke Plus. I hate coke. But I thought I'd try it. It still tasted like Coke. I was hoping for something else.

Random Poop 2007-05-14 22:31:00 Sue wrote a post and at the end she asked about men in turtlenecks. She was asking if they look gay, because one of her friends thinks so.
I said "No"
Hugh does not look gay here.
I don't think wearing a turtleneck necessarily looks gay. It would depend on the man. I would prefer that he didn't cover his huge adam's apple with a turtleneck, but they didn't ask me before they did the Read more:Random
The Saturday Six 2007-05-13 04:27:00 Another meme I found at Patrick's Weekender.
1. How often do you dream while you’re sleeping?
90% of the time.
2. What percentage of dreams do you actually remember details from the next morning?
1%. I'm sure I dream WAY more than I can recall. Even 5 minutes after I wake up.
3. What is the strangest location you have ever had a dream set in?
Marilyn Manson's house. Don't ask.

2. All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: Nausea, Heart Burn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diarrhea, PMS or Thirst.
3. It's the friends that don't stop by unannounced that I value most.
4. Hate Target, love Wal-mart.

Thirteen Shows I'm looking forward to this summer 2007-05-18 01:00:00 I don't know if they'll all be back on. I don't know if I'll like them all because I haven't seen all of them yet. They're in no particular order. And I don't know if there are 13 of them...
1. Tyler Perry's House of Payne
Premiers on June 5th on TBS. I love Tyler Perry. I just saw an ad for it today. I didn't know Madea was going to be in it. But that's probably just a guest spot. I Read more:Thirteen
Free Samples 2007-05-18 00:10:00 I go to the Freebie Sites (see my sidebar) about every other day and order free samples for myself, Mommy Dearest & Evan.
I might go a week without getting any, and then get several the same day.
ANYWAY
Here's what I got today:
Caress Exotic Oil Infusions
I got the Moroccan one. It stinks. Ew. I'll try it IF I run out of every other body wash in the house, including Evan's man scented Read more:Samples
American Idol SUCKS this season 2007-05-17 05:58:00 I'm so OVER American
Idol. I don't know if I'll ever watch it again.
Probably.
Because I LOVE the auditions.
But this season has been total crap.
Melinda is gone. I didn't really like her singing, but she IS better than Blake on his best day and her worst.
The Sanjaya thing went on too long.
The people voting are idiots.

Vulgarity - **Mature Content** (Allegedly) 2007-05-16 21:29:00 When I was younger, I used to think people who cussed were less intelligent than everyone else. There are MILLIONS of words that can be used instead of cussing.
Then I started working. I worked for CEOs and Owners of companys, you know?
THEY cussed.
Every time I heard a curse word, I felt a physical jolt. It shocked me that much. Like when you get shocked on your finger after walking on Read more:Content

I'm scared, y'all. 2007-05-21 02:03:00 I only have 2 packs of cigarettes left.
Part of me is like "Fuck it, I'm going to get a carton."
The other part is saying "WHORE, you just spent $110 dollars on something to help you STOP smoking. Get some more gum."
But Evan reminded me that Thursday is the last day of school.
So I'll be quitting RIGHT WHEN The Boy is home all the geedee time!
WTF was I thinking?
Plus, I don't want to
Unconcious Mutterings 2007-05-20 16:42:00 I don't normally like free association. You're supposed to say the first thing that pops into your mind. But with some words, I don't think anything. I can actually hear the wind and see tumbleweed going across the desert of my mind...

1} Your best friend who you have known your whole life, tells you the person you are dating and plan to marry is total wrong for you and no good. And that person hates your best friend. What do you do if anything?
Sunshine would never say anything like that. We didn't speak for about a year one time because I said things like that about her last husband. IF she did, I'd

OMG. I'm insane 2007-05-19 05:53:00 So I just joined blogcatalog.com. I've gotten several e-mails today telling me that so and so has added me as a friend or joined my neighborhood. (Whatever that means.)
Anyway, I was looking at some of the discussions. One was "If you could invite 5 people to dinner, alive or dead, who would they be and why?"
I said:
1. Hugh Laurie - because I luff him.
2. My dad - He died 19 years ago. It Read more:insane
Evan, Mommy Dearest, & Smoking 2007-05-19 04:55:00 I already told you that Evan took 2 breathing treatments before he went to school. He went to school anyway because HE wanted to. He didn't want to miss that Field day.
Since I'd been up since 5:30 this morning, I decided to try and take a nap around 12:30.
I don't think I got to sleep before Mommy
Dearest came knocking on my door.

Just Stuff 2007-04-19 04:52:00 VA Tech
I've often felt there was something wrong with me internally.
Because I react differently to situations than it seems like everyone else in the world does.
Like Virginia Tech. I think it's crazy. I think it's sad. But...bad shit happens.
Jenn wrote a post about it on her blog. A lot of people have. And there's, apparently, going to be a day of silence in the blogoshpere on 4/30
Last Day of School 2007-05-24 02:17:00 So Thursday is officially the last day of school. It's only a half day, and you only have to be there if you're graduating from 8th grade.
So all week I've been telling Evan I was going to make him go to school on Thursday because I wasn't quite ready for school to be over. (And it does seem like it's gone by fast this school year. The good news is that they'll be going back August 8th.) Read more:School

1. Who's your favorite Bob in the world of music?
Bob? In music??? The only Bob I can think of is Bob Dylan. He's not one of my favorites.

Hypnosis 2007-05-22 14:06:00 So last night I was looking for the video "Get me bodied" by Beyonce. I had only caught the tail end of it one night when I was channel surfing.
Then I saw something about smoking.
So I looked up "Smoking".
There was one called "The last cigarette". HA!
Then I saw "Stop smoking in 3 minutes!!!" So I watched it.
It was extremely boring.
I don't believe I'm susceptible to hypnosis. The Read more:Hypnosis
Random 2007-05-21 13:05:00 First, Desperate Housewives.
Did Edie really kill herself on Desperate Housewives? Somehow, I doubt it. I think it's some kind of ploy to get Carlos back.
WTF is wrong with Lynette? She acts like she's going to be able to have chemo & go on with her life as usual. Like nothing will change except she'll go bald. She's not dealing with this. I don't think she's accepted her diagnosis.

*Warning* TMI - Chantix 2007-05-27 09:20:00 So, I picked a really bad time to quit smoking, LOL.
Got my frigging "P" the day after I had my last cigarette. School is over. Etc, blah blah.
But it hasn't been as hard as I thought it was going to be.
The first 3 days are the hardest, right?
And that's over.
Anyway, I had to get up this morning to take Chantix because it's my first day taking it twice a day. That sucks, LOL. I don't

Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt 2007-05-26 00:39:00 This week's theme is Colorful.
Back before I practically shaved my head, I used to keep it braided. It was much easier. When my hair was shoulder length it took me an hour to blow dry, and even then it wasn't all the way dry. So I just kept it braided. And I'd change the color every couple of weeks. I've had it red, blue, green, purple...I think I even have some yellow hair, but I don't Read more:Saturday
