haunted house

Here's my mini- haunted house. Enjoy!

3 weeks

3 weeks of not feeling so well. i've spent more time in bed these three weeks than i have all of the last 10 years and I'm still tired. boo. not the hallowing boo either. poor me, wah wah wah, sympathy time. ha.

question for the day

Why do we hate the stomach crampy feeling from the flu, but pay for the stomach crampy feeling to ride a roller coaster? i don't know.

slow to reply, but better late than never

Dear Mommy Magee:
I am always happy to hold anyone's lotto ticket, but you do realize if you win I want a big screen tv...one that works. I promise to remember the Duomo and gelato. My plan is to do it all! Thanks for the info! later-cb

girl - i wanna be you!

Dear Chris:
I'm pretty sure you don't. As with ups, there are downs. Care to go to the doctor for me today? I'm starting on week 3 of some kind of something that makes me tired and achy in strange places and now with a cold. I'm looking for some intervention and have broken down and made an appointment. So, I won't be decorating a stage today, as I'm afraid to share the wealth. later-cb

Mommy Magee said...
Oh toys of any kinds that make noise cheer me and Baby Magee too! FUN! AND WOW! 3 miles, plus ellipitical and 3 miles... WOOOOOOOO! I think just one 3 mile ride alone is very impressive!

Dear Mommy Magee:
Thanks for the impressiveness. I have to say it is somewhat frustrating to get to going so well, then not be able to keep it up. Yet as Arnold would say, "I'll be bac." And I'm glad to hear toys with noise, noise, noise cheer you and my nephew up. We must be related and from the town of Whoville! btw I'm ready to watch that cartoon! May have to pull it out sometime this week. later-cb

Mommy Magee said...
WOW! You sound busy!!! What are you up to this week? :)

Dear Mommy Magee:
Yep. Been busy lately. This week I get to go see U2!!! I'm quite excited. This is M's birthday present to himself. I'm so glad!!! I'm sure there is lots of other things happening, but I'm not focusing on much else. ha! later-cb

Raining Good Fortune

It's been raining good fortune for me the last week. I am going to really milk this good time! Let's review shall we (yes, I'm bragging, sorry):

• Last weekend, we got to go the the house that Jerry built (Dallas Cowboy Stadium) aka the Death Star, and watch the Razorbacks stomp A & M. Sorry, A & M, but you do have a great band!
• Also last weekend, we had a the BEST time spending the night at Aunt Chelle & Uncle Saint's new home.
• And finally last weekend, I won $200 on a scratch off. What! A scratch-off you say! YES! I've never won anything off a scratch off. Then I had one more that weekend and won another $5. I've cashed it all in and already spent it on tutoring, guitar lessons, drive through dinner and good stuff like that.
• This week I found out we get to go to Italy and take the kids with us. Hot dog! or should I say Hot Pizza!
• Also, this week I got to go with M to eat lunch with his clients that I just love! And we got to go to eat at the Meat on a Stick place: Fogo De Chao. YUM!
• And that same night we went out with our friends Abs and Louis and went to the Movie Grill. Let me say first, this is much nicer than the Movie Tavern on 1960. Fresh and pretty. The food was good, but hard to munch on while watching....dun, dun, dun dddduuunnnnn....Zombie Land! OK. This was a GREAT movie. Very B feeling, but done in an A way. Lots of gore and humor. I even found myself going, "Awwwww" feeling sorry for the characters in the movie. I really now want a t-shirt that says Double Tap.
• Yesterday, I had a black cat show up on my door step. No, not a real cat, a sparkly Hallowing Cat with arching back. It is sooo cute. My next door neighbor got that for me and gave it to me as a suprise. I was just sooo excited!!!
• And I won some boots yesterday on some online website that I look at a bit called www.woodlandsmommy.com I sent in a picture of me in my closet with my neon green vinyl shoes and they said I won. So, I sent them my snail mail address and shoe size. I cannot wait to see them.

Ahhhh, good fortune all around. What good things are happening with you?

Things i have learned

Things I have learned recently:

• i can chop up a baby snake with a hoe in less than 30 seconds.
• i can ride my bike 3 miles, exercise on the ellipitical for 30 minutes and ride my bike 3 miles home without passing out.
• the trumpet sounds louder in the morning than in the afternoon.
• vampire teeth equals good grades, as do other bribes.
• i love meat on a stick, any meat...lamb, chicken, steak, pork...
• life is like a roller coaster, when you hit the down valley, slowly you will climb up and hit a peak of wonderment, followed by a wild ride of crooks and turns.
• children of all ages love to push buttons on Hallowing toys, instantly cheering them up.
• if i don't cook breakfast soon, there may be a revolt in the house.
