It's binary, baby!

Our friend, Lisa in Austin, has this tag line on all her emails, and it cracks me up every time I see it. Hope it gives you a giggle....

"There are 10 kinds of people in the world...
Those who understand binary and those who don't."

Here's a link to her blog - it's UBERKEWL!

Viva Las Vegas!

Phil & Katie are on their way back home FINALLY! They've been gone since December 26, and here it is a month later. They got to spend a day in Vegas, and sent me this pic which I thought was just adorable. Hopefully, they'll be home in a couple of days and I'll have my BABIES back.

What?! No school today?

This was posted on one of the homeschooling forums I read, and it made me giggle. Hope you enjoy it, too! :-)

Top 10 Things NOT to say when asked "What?! No school today?"

10. Well normally yes, but this time of year I need help with the planting and plowing.
9. Goodness, no!!! I graduated 18 years ago, but thanks for the compliment!
8. No, we homeschool. We're just out to pick up a bag of pork rinds and some Mountain Dew, then we gotta hurry home to catch our soaps.
7. What?! Where did you guys come from?! Oh my gosh! I thought I told you kids to stay at school! I'm sorry. This happens all the time. (sigh)
6. There isn't? Why, you'd think we would have seen more kids out then, don't you?
5. We're on a field trip studying human nature's intrusive and assumptive tactics of displaying ignorance and implied superiority. Thanks for the peek!
4. On our planet we have different methods of education. (Shhh! No, I didn't give it away... keep your antennae down!)
3. Oh my goodness! I thought that today was Saturday...come on kids, hurry!
2. Noooooope. Me 'n Bubba jes' learns 'em at home. Werks reel good!

And the number one answer we should NEVER give to the question: "What? No school today?"

1. "What? No Bingo today?"

Skullcrusher Mountain

This is one of my favorite WOW videos. For you noobs out there who don't know what a WOW video is, here's the info: It's a video a fan makes using a song they like, and using World of Warcraft gameplay captured on their computer. There are some REALLY impressive videos out there - this one is just funny. The song is by Jonathan Coulton who writes great funny, sometimes cute, sometimes naughty songs. Hope you enjoy!

Heather-One-Feather Gives You the Weather Tagged Me

In this tag you share 6 quirky or weird things about yourself.

1. Link to the person that tagged you.

2. Post the rules on your blog.

3. Share six non important bizarre things/quirk/habits about yourself.4. Tag six other people, link to their blogs and let them know by posting a comment on their blog.

Here are my six:

1. I love snakes. I think they're beautiful and fascinating, and make fantastic pets. Especially corn snakes, and ball pythons... and kingsnakes... and burms... ok... burms need some special care (like LOTS of room and careful, smart handling) but I lurvs them so!

2. I'm seriously addicted to playing World of Warcraft. I used to berate my kids and hubby for getting too involved in the "DAMN GAME" and neglecting other things, but now I understand. Once they finally got me to try it, I was hooked! So far, hunter is my favorite class, but I'm enjoying druid and priest as well. FOR THE HORDE!

3. I have a huge crush on Hugh Laurie. I know the character he plays - Dr. House - is a complete ASSHAT, but I really like the way he's horribly, brutally honest, even when he's lying. I know it doesn't make any sense. I also think Alan Rickman is really hot. Can't really explain that one either.

4. I can't stand the thought of drinking tap water. Granted, I grew up on it, and drank it all the time until about 5 years ago when we got a water cooler and started drinking 'good' water. Now I'm such an aquasnob! I will literally panic if we run out of bottled water, and I'll think, "What on earth will I drink?!? I'll die of dehydration!!!" Then I remember, we're not REALLY out of water... there's a whole faucet full right there in the kitchen sink... But I've managed to avoid drinking tap water for 5 years, and I don't plan on starting again any time soon.

5. I booted my brother and kept my sister-in-law. My big brother is in prison AGAIN, and due to the circumstances and the jeopardy he placed my family in, I no longer have anything to do with him. We've had no communication in nearly 2 years. His wife divorced him, but she and I have decided to stay forever sister-in-laws. She's an awesome amazing woman, and I can't imagine not having her in my life.

6. I love wind-up toys. They just tickle me silly. Cheap crappy little pieces of plastic that you wind up, and they move. PURE BLISS!


Okay... there's my six! :-)

My Living Will

My sweetest, bestest friend sent me this last night. It made me laugh out loud - thanks for the giggles, Beck!

MY LIVING WILL

Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'

She got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.

She's such a bitch!

Enjoy your day, peoples!

Wild Hairs

LOL - Jess and I got our hairs cutted today. :-) Isn't we pretty?????

Unwritten

Okay okay okay.... I've been neglecting my blog. I'M SORRY! *cry*

I guess the title of this blog entry sort of says it all... unwritten. I haven't been writing, I've been sort of cocooned and unresponsive lately. Time for me to open back up and get back out there. I just found this song yesterday, and it's been a nice kick in the booty for me, so I've been listening to it over and over. Here's the lyrics:

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah

Oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten
