I really need to learn to relax

I was sitting on the couch watching TV last night when I suddenly realized that I was sitting there with just about every muscle as tight as can be.  I wasn’t watching anything that would make me tense up like a scary movie or anything like that so I don’t have any idea at all why I was doing that.  I made myself relax and within a half hour, I realized I was back as tight as before.  What’s up with that?  I can’t figure it out.

You know I was telling you about a site where you could learn different Martial Arts online, well I really think I’m going to try the Tai Chi to see if I can stop this.  It’s not healthy to be sitting there all knotted up when you’re supposed to be relaxing, you know.  Now I just have to find the time.  You know, I bet I need to do that in the evenings before I go to bed.  It just might help me to rest better at night.

I just realized that Mothers Day is Sunday!

I swear I thought it was next Sunday and I just realized that Mothers Day is THIS Sunday.  What in the world do you get for a woman that has everything, wants for nothing, and sending flowers just doesn’t seem to be nearly enough?  Well luckily my mother has a good sense of humor because I think I came up with the perfect gift.

See when I was on my way home from work, I had to stop and get gas.  In the little convenience store that I always get my gas, was a little “Grow a boyfriend” figure.  I sort of chuckled when I saw it and then came up with the idea that I would buy this for my mother, find a DVD of one of her favorite movies, a 2 liter of Coke and also give her a bag of microwave popcorn.  That way, she gets a date, a movie, a drink and popcorn for Mothers Day.  How’s that for a last minute gift?  I just hope she gets a good laugh out of it which I think she will.

My aunt sent me some pictures

I’m not sure where these pictures are from but my aunt sent them to me in an email.  Actually there were 19 of them but I picked out a few of my favorites to share with you.  I hope you don’t mind.  Nature is amazing and so very beautiful.  We all need to take care of Gods creatures a little better than we have but that’s my opinion.  How could anyone hurt this beautiful creature?

Then this one is just too cute.  It looks like they are all in a chorus and singing their little hearts out to me.  How could anyone want to hurt them either?

Even with the threat of swine flu causing panic, just look at what a sweet picture this on is.  Even pigs love too apparently.

But my favorite of all has to be this one.  Imagine the chance of catching this shot.  It looks like God is smiling at us, doesn’t it?  I’m sure he has a sense of humor, if not, why in the world would he have made man and woman so different!!!

Amazing, don’t you think?  I sure do!!

It’s that time of year again

It’s spring and you know what that means.  It’s time to start thinking about a new bathing suit.  I honestly hate looking for a new bathing suit.  There are so many that I just wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing and then there’s always the problem of finding one that actually fits.  It’s not one of my favorite pastimes until I came across these bathing suits. I was really surprised at the prices I found on this site but even more than that, I actually found one I like.

See I go to the beach with my mother and sisters a lot and also spend time on the local lake with my friends so I need a bathing suit that my mother will not be ashamed to be seen with me in and still looks good on me too.  What I like about this bathing suit is how easily I could just slip some cut off jeans on and look fine to go anywhere for a burger or what ever after leaving the lake.  I love white bathing suits too because I don’t get real dark like some people do and a white suit makes me look darker than I am.  Plus it’s got the cutest skirt on it.  I just think it’s adorable.  What do you think?

You have got to see this!!

A friend of mine recommended I check this video out but she also suggested I read the following before I watched the video. It is almost unbelievable. Watch how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa — farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort. It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Boy was I surprised!!!

Did you watch Dancing with the Stars last night.  It was the results show where they send someone home and I was absolutely surprised at who was voted off.  It was Julianne and Chuck.  I really thought that Ty would be sent home even though I think he’s doing great but he’s just not as good as the others.  Chuck and Julianne were better than Ty and Chelsea but I guess there were more cowboys calling in and voting than country music fans.  You never know who will go and who will stay.  Sometimes it’s not the worst dancer, ya know!

Can you believe what they did to these Poodles?

There was an extreme grooming competition and you would not believe what they did to some of these poodles.  If you have ever had a poodle and taken them to the groomers, you can tell they know they look good by the way they prance around after getting groomed.  Well I wonder if these dogs pranced around or tried to hide from embarrassment.  I personally think they would be embarrassed!  I was embarrassed for some of them myself but some of them were really awesome.  See for yourself.

But my favortie one was this one.  This poodle lost a leg to cancer and what a better symbol for him than the USMC!!!

I’m sorry but I just had to do it again!!!

If someone would send me a red head joke or a brunette joke then I would share that too but all I seem to get are jokes like these.  Sorry!!!  But you gotta admit, it’s funny!!!

BLOND FLYING TO HOUSTON

THE PLANE IS ON ITS WAY TO HOUSTON WHEN A BLOND IN ECONOMY CLASS GETS UP AND MOVES TO THE FIRST CLASS SECTION AND SITS DOWN.  THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WATCHES HER DO THIS AND ASKS TO SEE HER TICKET.  SHE THEN TELLS THE BLOND THAT SHE PAID FOR ECONOMY CLASS AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK.   THE BLOND REPLIES, “I’M BLOND, I’M BEAUTIFUL, I’M GOING TO HOUSTON AND I’M STAYING RIGHT HERE.”

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A BLOND SITTING IN FIRST CLASS THAT BELONGS IN ECONOMY AND WON’T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT.  THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO THE BLOND AND TRIES TO EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE ONLY PAID FOR ECONOMY SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO HER SEAT. THE BLOND REPLIES, “I’M BLOND, I’M BEAUTIFUL, I’M GOING TO HOUSTON AND I’M STAYING RIGHT HERE.”

THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST THIS BLOND WOMAN WHO WON’T LISTEN TO REASON. THE PILOT SAYS, “YOU SAY SHE IS A BLOND? I’LL HANDLE THIS. I’M MARRIED TO A BLOND. I SPEAK BLOND.”  HE GOES BACK TO THE BLOND AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR, AND SHE SAYS, “OH, I’M SORRY.” SHE GETS UP AND GOES BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY. THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT ANY FUSS.

I TOLD HER, “FIRST CLASS ISN’T GOING TO HOUSTON.

I love Blomus stainless steel

There’s just something about stainless steel in your home that makes a statement.  That statement is class to me.  I have a Blomus stainless steel mailbox on my front porch and it looks wonderful plus it will last a long time too.  My fireplace is the center of my living room because of the Blomus stainless steel fireplace accessories I have.   They really make the fireplace the focus of the whole room.

I not only have Blomus stainless steel inside but I also use it to decorate my back yard too.  I have a Blomus stainless steel bird feeder and a Blomus stainless steel fire pit for those chilly spring evenings on my patio.  Can you tell I love Blomus stainless steel?  Well I do and if you check out what they have, I bet you’ll find something you love too.

Dancing with the stars

I keep getting up from my computer to watch ‘Dancing with the stars’.  I have to admit I absolutely love that show.  Shawn just danced and she is an amazing competitor.  She’s cute as a button and boy has that little girl got some muscles which comes from her gymnastics background.  She’s developing into quite a little dancer too.  You know who has really surprised me?  Ty, that’s who.  He’s a cowboy and has really worked hard to turn into a pretty darn good dancer.  Everyone is doing so well at this point that it’s really hard to predict a winner.  Lil Kim is great and Jilles is wonderful.  Chuck and Julianne are just so cute together.  Your guess is as good as mine as to who will come out the winner.
