Quirks!

quirk:n. 1. A peculiarity of behavior; an idiosyncrasy: "Every man had his own quirks and twists" Harriet Beecher Stowe. 2. An unpredictable or unaccountable act or event; a vagary: a quirk of fate Here are 6 quirky things about me:

1. I pick at my nails all the time, I don't know why but I can't keep them long.

2. I love watching psychological thrillers and reading them as well. I'm just twisted I guess.

3. I dream Deja Vu all the time, and have the most twisted dreams.

4. I eat way too much sugar, and have the candy cuboard to prove it.

5. I am a perfectionist, and everything has a peticular place in my house..I know when something is missing or has been moved. It will bug me until it's taken care of.

6. I can't stand things on my bed, couches, or counters. It's a pet peeve of mine.

So as it usually goes with these things I'm supposed to tag 6 people, but I've decided to twist it this time. Instead, I want everyone who reads this post to leave a comment on what one of their worst quirks is. It should be fun.

TOO FUNNY!

I recently recieved this e-mail and decided to share. I am one who likes getting funny e-mails and I just have to share them. However this time I had to share with everybody because it's so funny.

Here is how to maintain a healthy level of insanity:

1. At lunch time sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars..see if they slow down.

2. Paige yourself over the intercom, don't disguise your voice!

3. Everytime someone asks you to do something ask "do you want fries with that?" ( I did that with Tara last night, and she says NO with a confused look on her face).

4. Put decaff in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions..switch to Espresso.

5. In the memo field of all your checks write: for Marijuana.

6. Order a diet water wherever you go out to eat with a serious face.

7. Specify that your drive thru order is 'To Go'.

8. When the money comes out of the ATM scream.."I Won! I Won!

9. When leaving the zoo start running towards the parking lot yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!"

And last but not least..........

10. Tell your children over dinner "that due to the economy, were going to have to let one of you go."

I don't agree with all, but these were pretty funny anyway. They are posted here for your laughing enjoyment! ENJOY.

Family Fun Night

Our little tiny town every year has what is called Blue Mountain Entertainment. It is where they invite various artists to come perform, and September thru April they have a total of 11 performances. The tickets only cost $45 a family for all the shows, and I finally broke down and bought one this year. Well last night they invited a man by the name of Franc D'Ambrosio. If you know who this man is then you've heard his fantastic singing voice. He is best known for being the longest running Phantom in 'Phantom of the Opera' from 1992 to 1999, and performed just over 3000 times. He sang broadway tunes last night and it was magnificent; he even performed his 'Music of the Night' from Phantom. It brought goose bumps to my skin. The performance lasted two hours and he even took a 20 break 1/2 way between the show to sign autographs. He had cd's for sale so I bought the one called Franc D'Ambrosio's HOLLYWOOD-Songs From The Silver Screen. I even had it signed to make it more authentic. I couldn't even find him off of playlist so I can't let you hear him. If you ever get a chance to hear him you will be amazed. I took the girls and they really enjoyed hearing him; Jason is not so into this type of music so he and Konner stayed home..too bad for them because it was a blast.
This is only the beginning of our Family Fun Night.

Being Tagged

Rules Once Tagged:
1) Link to the person who tagged you.
2) Post the rules on your blog (copy and paste 1-6).
3) Write 6 random things about yourself (see below).
4) Tag 6 people at the end of your post.
5) Let them know they are tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6) Let the tagger (who tagged you) know when your post is upSix random things about me

Kriss tagged me and so now to bore you with 6 random things about me:

1. I can't stand a messy house. The dishes have to be out of the sink, clothes picked up, and things put away especially in the kitchen..nothing belongs on the counters. However out of all this, I'm not stickler about the beds being made.

2. I just love to bake. Once a week at least for trying out new sweets or just making one of the old. Then I take 1/2 of those sweets and give them to my friends to try. I would love to open a bakery one day.

3. I can never keep furniture in it's same place. My family will tell you I am obsessive compulsive about it. I probably re-arrange furniture about once a month. Except the kids' rooms, they really only go one way; and trust me that drives me nuts!

4. Although I live in a small town where people leave there houses unlocked 24/7 and keys in they're cars, I lock my house even during the day, and lock my car even when the garage door is down or when I'm at the store. I still think like a big city person and it drives Jason crazy.

5. I forget easily and so I bet that when I turn something off or put something away I recheck my self 2 or 3 times before I realize I've already done it.

6. I can't leave my house in the morning without showering, and getting ready for the day. If I have to leave than I am so uncomfortable with myself until I get ready.

So there you go, all 6 boring things about me. I now tag Melissa, Erika, and Kristene.

Dumb Deer

A lot of people think that deer are so fun to look at and admire..on most occasions they are fun to see. But not when you see this...that's right descruction. What else did you expect. So distrubing, however this garden was experimental and we didn't know what quite to expect because a fence cannot be afforded at the time. I just maybe hoped they would save some for us. Out of the 30 + pumkins we had we are now down to maybe 3 (provided they don't find them first), the tomatoes what tomatoes?, the squash, and now the canteloupe. Oh well what else can you do when you live at the base of a mountain? I am open to creative suggestions... in the mean while :
corn may be the only thing we eat this fall. Oh well better luck next year!

Is this my girls? They have been wanting to ride these small four wheelers for the past couple of months now..and as of Saturday they got their wish. They were not allowed to go to fast, but of course all but Kylie had to push there limits..especially Cierra. Konner did not want to ride, he is a bit more conservative, but the girls are my WILD ones!!!
