A Few of My Favorites...

I love Reading everyone’s blog, I am not a very consistent Commenter, but If truth be known, some times I scan everyone’s blog at least twice a day, just in case some one has posted anything new. I Thought I would make up a list of my some of my favourite Posts, and comments. Some are Funny and some are just confessions…

Also I would like to take this oppertunity to beg those of you who don't have Blog already to get one! I know you may say to yourself "I don't have countless hours to devote like anne does daily".. or maybe your saying "I can spell better or have better grammer" go on and prove it.. get your self a blog and send me a link... Andrea I'm Talking to you!!! And for those of you who haven't posted for a while.. remember us blog junkies need our Fix!!!

Starting At #10...

Cousin Banna, Who technically isn’t my cousin, but my cousin’s cousins. And now I am her stalker. Plus this really freaky thing happened, we were in this contest on our Cousin Mark & Mels Blog, And we totally tied for the same amount of Comments in the month of January 07. We are totally bonded now, even with matching T-shirt’s. Anyhow she posted: Same Country, Different Culture. #4 especially was too much for me:

4. Grow a thick skin. You will get public opinion, commentary, and even criticism without asking. Have a few come backs ready when you start to notice a pattern…. if you don’t dish back, they might think that something is wrong. Make sure that you’ve got some really good zingers… they’ll be appreciated…at least by you and any onlookers…and there will be onlookers.

But really every Post is a treasure trove of goodies from the exact date of her daughters age, 7 mos and 2 1/2 weeks old, to the fact that she remained in pain while she tries to fight off a gallbladder attack, while trying to find someone to watch her kids so she could go to the hospital, as her Husband was out of the country(Not really funny, except to the twisted and demented.). I’m sure we will find Banna again on the list.

Plastic or Paper…
When Cousin Amy said she had a confession, I was hoping for something a little juicyer, But I Love this, they use all paper Products, And the end she closes with “If only there were disposable pots and pans…” Seriously who hasn’t had that same thought???

Plus we love her Simpson Sillies on the side!!!

My Cousin Scott’s wife, Korby, whom I have envisioned as an angel. Literally as an angel. Posted: Randy is my Hero!! All about her devotion to UFC. I didn’t know what it was, and lets just say I was a little shocked to find out what it was! I can’t wait to meet her! Love you Korby!!!!

Eating Cake Without Guilt
Cousin Marky & Melanie had gone for dinner with Heidi & Gary And Gary Had taken home his dessert. In Melanies own words:

A day or two later I was over at Heidi’s house and noticed in their fridge that Gary had not eaten his cake yet. I was astonished and appalled that he hadn’t eaten that delicious cake yet. I told Heidi we should threaten him with eating it, but he didn’t care and said he didn’t even want it. Heidi said she didn’t want any either and that I should just take it home. I didn’t want to do that, I would feel so guilty for taking their cake, I couldn’t enjoy it when I knew I had already had mine.

Well, Heidi snuck the cake in our car when we went home that night, and I “forced” myself to eat it that night and a little for breakfast the next morning.

My kind of Girl!! I have no shame when it comes to eating others dessert!

Funny Trick Cousin Marky & Melanie had been circulating a “Maze Game” that eventually a scary creature scares you at some point! So my Auntie Mickey had been warning people not to play. You have to understand That all my mom’s sisters really are the nicest, sweetest, women ever, My mom included, they just are, How I missed out on that gene not really sure, but My Sister Shelby Got it!! Sure they can be a bit bratty but really, they are the sweetest.

So in trying to counter Auntie Mickey Melanie posted a doctored picture of Auntie Mickey. Too funny.

Plus I love Korby’s comment:
My kids want to thank you for the nightmares they had last night. Ok just 2 of the 4 had nightmares due to your fun game and my uncontrollable competitive side that had to beat you past level 3. Thanks

My Cousin Holly has NO RESPECT…

Holly lives in Washington. DC, not the State. I love to follow her adventures from visiting various touristy spots, And her tell it like it is attitude, Especailly her happy birthday to herself phone call to Chris Plante.

But I love her road rage, and she is not afraid to out the licence plate on her internationally renowned Blog ( I thought either she would disappear, or we would find her outing all government officials in Washington on a network news channel.)

The Highlights:
I’m actually quite a jerk, now. I look for almost any excuse to use my horn. If anyone on the road pulls a stupid move, I honk without hesitation. I also love to physically show my irritation by doing such things as throwing my arms up in exasperation and shrugging in a “what are you doing?!” motion. I think I repeatedly embarrass passengers in my car.

For Cousin Banna’s second appearance it’s her Shopping Channel Post, Is this What it's Come to? This I can relate too. I have a few things around the house that have been ordered off the Shopping Channel, some good, some that we aren’t going to discuss. I think I even talked my mom once into ordering something. Funny thing is even now I can find my self engrossed with a particular product, tempted to phone in. Here are the high lights of Bannas’s post:

Well before I knew it I realized that I had been watching it for like 10 straight minutes and all of a sudden I was on the phone with a credit card in my hand.

Well, I ended up buying 2 square Petalite (who ever heard of Petalite?) which I envisioned as future earrings

When I told Scott, he casually said, “I think that my grandma used to buy gems on that channel before she died.”

Cousin Heather’s And Now I’m Crying Again

Okay this is funny only because everyone is okay, and the funny is not in the Initial incident but rather what could have been the funniest streaking event ever:

Here are the highlights:

This morning I sent Haven, Mathes and Gracen out into the backyard to play and made sure the gate was locked on both the top and bottom, then went inside to finish getting breakfast cleaned up and try and get myself dressed…

Just as I was undressed and trying to find my jeans I hear a truck honking. After 5 or 6 honks I look out my window to see what he’s going on about and there is Gracen, standing in the middle of the road with a huge semi truck stopped right in front of her, doing all of the honking. I don’t know how I ran that fast, I have never been so scared in my life, but I managed to throw on whatever clothes were right there as I bolted out the back door in a total panic.
When I got out there Mathes was sitting in the back of the Suburban playing with some toy he had found there, while Gracen played chicken with the semi

But the best line is this:
I will tell you there were serious spanks for both of them and if ANYONE wants to pick a fight with me on the merits of spanking, go ahead, but know this, time-out was NOT going to make any kind of lasting impression on either child, and their safety is at stake here, so think/say what you want I really don’t care.

Sorry Heather but I couldn’t resist, I still chuckle as I envision you running you running out giving a show, ‘cause really it could have been me.

Okay this is it.. the Biggie!!!

Angela, who is my bestest friend ever, even though I have been demoted on her Links List, our Friend ship will conquer all!!!!
There are 2. First, is When her son Jarom who's ball caught on fire:

At lunch time today, I was busy in the kitchen preparing lunch (like the good mother that I am) when I hear Jarom start screaming. Now anyone who knows Jarom realizes that this is not unusual, but there seemed to be a panic in his voice that sent me running into the living room...

When I reached Jarom I see flames coming out of the top of our lamp, (the lamp was one of those halogen lamps that is tall and has an open bulb at the top; if you have one I would like to strongly encourage you to throw it out) I quickly grabbed the lamp and took it outside trying to distinguish the fire in the snow. The whole time I am doing this Jarom is screaming, "I want my ball, I want my ball, I want my ball". The ball is crispy.

Angela was writing about how she had bought Lucky Charms, even though there is a No “Crap Cereal” Rule. Why is it the best, well it’s all in the comments:

Rob said...
The crap cereal that we buy (whenever it is on sale at Costco) is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It is so dang good. It is like having sex every time you eat it.

MACK STRATE said...
If you think that Cinnamon flavored cereal is as good as sex, there's a pretty good chance you're not doing it right.


I love it ! Keep them Comming!!! And if you haven't yet joined the Blog World, It's never too late!!
