"I Never Seen Eyes So Blue"

"We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them"~Virgin Suicides

Have you seen the movie, Virgin Suicides?

It's a goody and up until a couple weeks ago, I had never seen it. I know right? Loser!! You might ponder why? Happily, I was a wee-bit preoccupied with my newly single-lady status - way back in 2000! Whew-wee!

Anyhow...........back to the movie, this little gem of Sofia Coppola's is GOOD. Go forth and see for yourself! I beg...........no I plead. You will not be disappointed.

My favorite, love it, part in the movie is when they creatively introduce the dreamy hunk, the studly football star: Trip Fontane to the song Magic Man by Heart. Oooh-mi-goodness! I love that part.

That simple-little segment, TOTALLY, ignites the teenage girl within and I slowly drift back in time to my first Magic Man crush. You know the one, the crush, that brought a crimson color to your cheeks at the mere mention of his name - You know! The one that possessed a euphoric bubble around himself, which caused you to turn and run the opposite direction should your paths cross in the hall - That one! The "stone fox" that just happened to take notice of you while you heaved for air and sweat like a hoss running in P.E.

Girls, that is him! The High School Magic Man. Go ahead, take a moment to swoon over HIM! No one is judging - swoon away ladies!

So as you think back to your Magic Man, what song does he stroll down the halls too? Mine, well...........if my memory serves me correctly, I do believe it was Unbelievable by EMF (giggling like a school girl and HUBS is considering hospitalization), but now it's Magic Man! I heart this song and every time I play it HUBS gives me that look, that "NOT AGAIN" look - Hahhahha!

Old Timer - Cute Pic of me and my Magic Man. Notice the long luscious locks!

"As She Feels Her Veins With Lies"

This post has no rhyme or reason..............Really!!!

Last week I posted a real nifty post about my families LOVE of sushi. Blogger was either having a bad day or I drank one too many sips of HUBS PEE-BEE-RRR.......whatever the case; my post vanished, never to be found. I was mad and refused to post the rest of the week - MAD!
Every month I obsess on a new song........................last months was Lady GaGa: Paparazzi.

This month it's Tickle Me Pink - Madeline! I heart this song! Despite the kinda-sorta morbid lyrics, I still like it! I also am hip on the fact that these fellas are local boys and I am all about supporting the local music scene. Love it!

Until she saw the light

Landon had the stomach flu Thursday night into Friday. Friday was my day off and I had high hopes of spending the day in quiet solace. Sooooooo Wrong! I spent the day in the bathroom, assisting Landon - poor guy! I really can't complain because my child is now potty trained so there were no messy pants and sometime between his last bout with the stomach flu and this time, he learned to warn us about the need to vomit and he can totally puke in the toilet like a champ - Yahoo!!!! Such a proud Momma moment!

Yesterday we spent the day doing yard work - Ick! I don't like yard work - Nope! I don't find any enjoyment in pulling weeds, cutting the grass (because HUBS does that) or planting stuff. I just don't. I've done a lot of soul searching in an attempt to find my inner green thumb, but there's nothing there, I am void of any type of green thumb.

If I had the money to concrete my huge yard - I would. How beautiful concrete would be......sigh.......no weeds!!! Please don't get me wrong, I love flowers and trees and stuff to make my yard look pretty, but I only like it in pots and I only like stuff that requires little watering.

Low maintenance yard!

Since I despise weeds and pulling them I made a deal with HUBS. I would mow the lawn, if he pulled the majority of the weeds - DEAL! I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I mowed and mowed until all the flat surface areas of our yard looked perfectly manicured. I have blisters to prove it! I like mowing the lawn - it's better than vacuuming and I am a huge fan of the vacuum and it is a great work out.

Random pointless thoughts from my head - interesting! BTW - Don't you just love the pics accompanying this post. My boy is adorable. That was our version of the "Bird Man" duo. He recently got a hair cut so it's much shorter and more modern but he asks for a faux hawk everyday..............."Momma, I want gel and the bird man!" Cute!!!!!!!!!

Random Rants from a Crazy Woman.........ME

I despise dog owners who do not pick up their doggie doo at the dog park. The other day I watched numerous people abandon their doggie doo, oblivious!! Cody Boy is large and subsequently has large doggie doo. Do I leave it for another to see, step in, fall upon? NO, I happily scoop it up and put it in the trash! The dog park we go to has signs all over asking people to pick up after their dogs and has baggies along the trail for pete-sake! What more does one need? Dirty, filthy pigs. I guess you can call this a pet-peeve of mine. Gross!

Yesterday morning I dropped Landon off to total chaos in his class room. His regular teacher has been on vacation this past week and the class room has not been the same. The kids are running wild and the substitute teacher is LOST. As some of you know from previous posts, LD is very dramatic in the mornings and gives me a hard time almost every morning. I usually have to hang around for awhile and promise him the world if he doesn’t cry. There is no dropping off and running out the door for me! Anyway………I was hanging out with LD and watching two kids ravaging through one of their backpacks that was full of lollipops, WHAT? They started opening them and well I couldn’t help myself…………I tattled on them. The Teacher was oblivious and well I didn’t think they should be running around with lollipops. Thank goodness the regular teacher has returned!!! I almost hugged her when I saw her this morning.

We have this rotational program at work, where new aspiring graduates are selected to do rotations thru various departments of HR. It’s always so amusing to me that these graduates come into the office thinking they own the place, thinking they are the smartest most talented person around. After a few weeks they usually find their place in the office pecking order and settle down. I usually become great buddies with them. They are young hip (they all want to babysit Landon) and usually very nice. The last one we had was awesome and I loved her. Unfortunately, the couple we have right now (one in particular) is (let’s just say) less than pleasant. I wish she would just hurry up and end her rotation, already. Go away – go back where you came from.

Confession: In an effort to save a couple dollars I got a cheap haircut – I know it’s tragic and wrong in so many ways but my husband just doesn’t understand why a hair cut needs to cost $60 bucks (because his cost $8.00) and since I am tired of hearing him complain about the cost I broke down and got a cheap hair cut (just this once) from an unknown hairdresser. She did an alright job but I can defiantly tell the difference! I feel so guilty that I allowed someone else to cut my hair. If my hairdresser knew, she would hate me forever……..not really but that’s what I tell myself.

Most of the time in the morning I wake up, make a pot of coffee and then go get myself and LD ready. After I am ready and rushing out the door I grab my coffee mug, fill it up with coffee (I can taste the fresh brewed coffee on my lips) and open the refrigerator for a little creamer. Most of the time my favorite creamer (French Vanilla) is sitting there but this week it’s all gone and this makes me more than a little upset!!! I usually throw a little hissy fit, jump up and down, frail about and then dump out my coffee (trying to make a dramatic statement) and then run to STARBUCKS!!!

From the above rants do you get the feeling I am a little spoiled and act like a big baby at times? Hahahahhahahahah. “I AM A GOOD-GIRL, I AM!”
