POWER OF THE PUSH....


Good luck to my very dear friend Tysgirl. I will be with you in spirit through the rest of the week. By this time next week Sydney will be tucked safely in your arms.
Good luck and God bless.

Well, my son and I made up. We worked really hard to see each other's point of view. So, we are cool right now. Of course with teens that could change with the wind.
I joined Facebook the other night. Yes, I became one of the lemmings. Hey at least it's not Myspace! I have actually been in contact with some of the people that I have always liked and wondered whatever happened to them. That is a good feeling. I am sure when the newness wears off I won't care as much. I'm kinda lazy like that.
Let me tell you, I AM excited that one of my buds is getting ready to have her baby the end of this month and I am done packing the box and getting ready to ship it out once I get paid. There will be one more very important thing I have to send out when I am finished making it, but it should be done before she arrives. Ohhh I can NOT wait!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TY!!!

I hope this is the beginning of the most wonderful time of your life!

You are very loved, thank you so much for taking care of one of my best buds!

OMG!!!!

Can I just say...OH-EM-GEE!!!!

Now as we all know this Saturday is Tysgirl's birthday so what does she do??? SHE SENT ME A GIFT!!! WTF? I am so glad she did, it totally rocks!

So, I hear a knock at the door, hmmm... who could it be I wonder?

I answered the door and it was the UPS guy.

(I didn't take his picture that would have been awkward!)

Wow, now what is this???

A package FOR ME??? Oh I have to get something to open it with...

I opened it verrry carefully....

Inside, there was a very sweet handwritten note...

....and do you want to know what she sent to me???

Yes folks, she sent me a new lens for my camera!!!

Doesn't it just bring a tear to your eye?

It's beautiful!

This calls for a brand new camera bag!!!

(I know what I'm getting this weekend!)

OHHHHhhhhhhhhh!!!! That's not all!

She also sent me "chocolate covered orgasm" in a box.

Well, I have heard them described as thus. Check this out!

Can I just tell you.....

SHE'S RIGHT!

This so totally rocks and I so wasn't expecting it. I plan on having a great time getting to know my camera again this coming weekend. Be prepared for some fun photos soon!

All thanks to my bud Tysgirl! SHE ROCKS!

(Oh and her hubby rocks too!)

WHERE ON EARTH DID THE TIME GO?!?!?!

I waited for what seemed like forever for Ty & Tysgirl to make it here all the way from Tennessee.

They showed up, we hugged, we ate and I sent them on their merry way to find their hotel (hoping I didn't get them lost).

The next day we got together and I showed them around. I am the WORST tour guide on earth, let me just say that! Just imagine a tour guide that knows very little about the city, can't parallel park, doesn't have pocket change to pay for parking (and bums it from Ty) and has no mercy on her guests. YEP, I dragged them all over Savannah. Like it or not they saw the parts of the Big SAV that I like. We ate, we shopped and we took pictures. Ty was such a trooper, he hung in there carrying our bags and didn't even complain. Not to mention he is really funny. They make the best couple you could ever imagine.

You know I met Tysgirl though SoozieQ and I can't thank her enough. I left them back at the hotel yesterday afternoon and I miss them. It has been raining here today and I feel bad about it, like I had something to do with it??? I just want them to go home rested and rejuvenated, not having to go home to relax from their vacation.

YOU SHOULD SEE TYSGIRL'S CAMERA! IT IS KICKASS! No wonder she is so good, her camera rocks and her lenses make me so envious. I will never be as good as she is and I'm O.K. with that. As long as she continues to share her pics with me I will always be one happy camper.

Can I just say that I am so happy that I popped the IRL cherry with this adorable couple?

Thank you two for including me in you lives. I feel so very lucky.

MeMeMeMeMeMeMe-WTFMeMe.....

Tysgirl tagged me to do a Meme that was written by Hammer.

1. What is the stupidest mistake you have ever made with money?Declaring Bankruptcy.

2. Do you think taxes are unfair or do you think it’s your civic duty? I thought that this country was founded because people were sick of being taxed to death. I don't mind paying mine but I just got a 40% tax increase on my property tax?!??! For what!

3. Did you take risks and possibly turn your life upside down for new opportunity? Yep, sure did. I left a lucrative career and moved to Canada to be with my immigrant boyfriend. I had no job and loved every second of it. We are now married and living in the U.S. Totally worth all of it.

4. Are you the alpha in your household? (pets included) Ummm... DUH! I AM Big Mama after all...

5. Do you compromise with your significant other or does someone always get their way? We both compromise on the stuff that matters of course. I get my way on the stuff that matters to me and he gets his way on the stuff that matters to him.

6. What curse word do you use most often? I can swear like a state trooper in trouble! I try not to but sometimes I have to bust out a few. I think I will reserve those for the ones I love. (Does idiot and moron fall in to this category at all?)

7. Do you easily change your mind or are you dead set on most issues? I am pretty set but I am open minded and will listen to opposition. If someone has an intelligent view and can explain their position without flaw I could possibly change my view. Not likely though.

8. What famous person would you like to trade places with for one week? It certainly wouldn't be Brittany Spears.... I think I would have to say Helen Gurley Brown.

9. If you could go back in time and tell one person off, who would it be and what would you say? I think I would like to face off with the moron that coordinated to 9/11 attacks and tell that bastard to back off....

10. Were you a good student or did you do just enough to get by? I had a BLAST in school. I had so much fun and all sorts of friends. Academia was NOT my strong suit, I wish it was.

11. If you could give one piece of advise to someone just starting out on their own, what would you tell them? Savings are a wonderful thing. Possessions don't make you happy and everything is replaceable.

12. Are people basically good and honest or are most people opportunistic and predatory?I still have hope that people are all born good and their surroundings ruin them. I could be wrong, but I hope not.

13. Is there someone you wish you could go back and apologize to? No, I am at peace with everything I have done. I can't sleep if I know I have hurt someone. I make it right as soon as humanly possible.

I guess I’m supposed to tag 5 people to do this Meme, but I am not a tagger. If you love doing MeMes, please consider yourself tagged and let me know in my comments so I can come read yours.
