christmas?

i feel more rushed than ever this year. Neighbors were out decorating. SB and I refuse to give in!! We will not do lights and sng carols until December. What the heck? We actualy had a tree lighting/Santa on a fire truck thing tonight. It just dosen't feel natural. SB actually went to the tree lighting in shorts!!!!!

P.S.- SB did very well at Turkey invitational. we were all very proud. He was actually able to shake the triptifan from the turkey and enjoy the city. Good time.

ahh men!!!

WHY MEN AREN'T SECRETARIES...


Husband's note on refrigerator for wife:



"Someone from the Gyna Colleges called.
They said the Pabst beer is normal.

....I didn't know you liked beer."

speak up

sooo- one of the reasons Steakbellie and I have continued to remain maried for 13 years is that we really crack each other up. If anyone should know us from the beginning, we met while perfoming in our college theatre department. I was a beauty queen who minored in theatre majoring in special ed, he was an art fag ( i mean that respectfully). anyway- i can still, and pride myself on doing VERY good accents. For example I could call you on the phone withmy latino accent and claim to be Gloria Cubano from Camden Nj and you would fall for it. i do southern, chinese, african american, mentally challenged you name it. Howver, my BEST is latino because if you follow my blog you know I grew up in a latino neighborhood. All this leads to------
SB and I are in bed on a WEdnesday night reading our local paper that is only published once a week, Wednesdays.
There is a column called "Speak Up" . it is filled with tyrades of really goofy comments and scenarios. People call a number, leave a message and f the editor likes it he publishes. needless to say SB and I LOVE to read this. So, after we read these, he looks at me, i look at him and say in my utmost latino accent " Jew Know baby, I hat it when those crazy gringas with no kids park in the spot reserved for mothers who are expecting or with newborns at the Superfresh and they not even knocked up! that makes me muy loco!!!!"
He cracks up , "Oh my little Gloria Cubano, (my former Spanish teacher), please call and SPEAK UP!
So- i dial the number and go full speed ahead on the answering machine!! Aye carumba!!!
Today is WEdnesday- I got the paper, and sure enough - Gloria has been quoted!!! I have 6 lines.
Now- I feel as SB does after an eating competition, i must do better, I must strategize.
Do I pull out the chinese, the southerner, or the mentally challenged, and what do i need to SPEAK UP about?!?!?!? Hmmm......

day off

took the day off.
renew drivers license
take kid to lunch
take kid to see Borat!
I'm a rebel!

bizarre day

today at work i get a call from the police chief. i have to do a level 1 lock down . there has been a bank robbery a 1/2 a mile away, on the same street as school. the guy has a gun and has fled through the field that backs up to us, on foot. I kept everyone in doors and did not let anyone leave.
The sad part is, I wasn't phased by this at all.

I also participated,and led a brother and sister , to our state childprotection agency,. hey were to be taken away from their drug addicted, homeless, slut mother. and it felt good. Good to know that these kids will be safe, good to know that this mother now can not hurt these kids, well at least, physically anymore.
It felt awful holding them in my lap and crying with them, telling them their mother really did love them and was trying her best, ( I lied).
Bad parents need to be locked up!!!!!!!!!

i have to believe there is a God!

and if there is, does he serve a nice chardonnay?
