  '     !

  EDIT:  Who just watched their American Idol tonight?  Me, me, me!  Yeah, he can be my daddy, alright!!!!
  And you KNOW who I'm talkin' about, ladies!  And the Bon Jovi
  singer...ROCKED...loved him...and my personal favorite:  who I
  hope will go ALL THE WAY...go gray haired dude!!!!  Totally the
  best, all round...and Simon took back the barb...AWESOME!

  Howdy, all!  Sorry it's been so long...the time that I
  normally used for xanga, I've been going to water aerobics and actually
  getting off my butt!  Yeagh, me!! (20 lbs down, now, by the way! )  Felt I should update, though, missin' all my buddies!!!! 

  Our anniversary was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!  We had SO much fun! 
  Ditched the kids (and I mean that in a nice, loving way, of course )
  around 2:00 (Jess to a friends house, and Jason to his best buds house
  for his very first sleepover...and she took pics...I knew I loved her
  for some reason!!!)  then went out to
  Hazelwood, Mo to go to The Mills.  Only the coolest mall
  EVER.  No, it doesn't have a rollercoaster...and that's fine by
  me...it DID have an indoor putt putt that glowed in the dark, an indoor
  go cart racetrack, virtual Nascar, laser tag, and a huge jungle gym in
  the middle if we take the kids there.  We spent the first 2-3
  hours just walking around checking out what there was there...then
  played putt-putt (where we played for certain...ahem...favors...(gotta
  keep it interesting, don'tcha know!), then left for dinner in
  Clayton...at this MOST AWESOME Japanese restaurant...SO
  YUMMY!!!!!!!  Since we have been stateside, have never found
  another place that has even come close to the real thing...this was the
  closest...hubby and I even ordered 2 bowls each of their Miso soup...so
  good. THEN we decided to drive over to St. Charles to see Underworld
  Evolution...pretty good.  Especially if you like LOTS of violence
  and nudity....not really up my alley, but the story line was
  alright.  We wanted to catch the local comedy show at the Funny
  Bone, but would have arrived 15 minutes late, and as we all know, you
  just DON'T walk in late for one of those, unless you want to spend the
  next 45 minutes being ridiculed by the comedian.  Which I
  didn't.  We wound up not hittin' the hay until about 2 a.m. that
  morning (YAWN), and then the stupid cat's decided it was time for us to
  wake up at 6:30 a.m.  Stupid cats.  We didn't get the kids
  back 'til 12:30.  We stayed busy.    Naw, we really did. He played his vidio game, and I finished categorizing my Ipod. We're so married sometimes. 

  Saturday is the Monster Truck thingie....hence the song...still haven't
  told Jason.  Figure I'll give him a pair of ear plugs, and
  surprise 'im....hee hee.....

  I'm gonna go ahead and post this for now...I'll do edits in a little bit...gotta get li'l guy off to school!

   

  EDIT:  Told ya'll I'd be back!!!  There's no funnies yet, no
  purty pictures, c'mon...I wouldn't leave ya not smiling when you leave
  my site!!! 
  Monday took the kids to see a movie...I let Jess invite a friend, and
  for the first time, I let her and her friend go into a separate theater
  from me.  Worked out perfectly time wise...I put them in their
  movie, went to mine and Jason's, and then we got out 15 minutes before
  they did.  I FULLY trust the friend she went with, too...so had
  that extra little boost of confidence they'd be OK.  Anyhow, they
  went to see Nanny McPhee...Jess wasn't that impressed, her friend
  seemed to like it, but she's way polite and would say rotten cheese was
  yummy if she thought I'd worked on it to please her.  Always says
  "yes ma'am, no ma'am, Ma'am?"  LOVE her. Thankfully, this is her
  best friend...Jason and I went to see Curious George.  I LOVED
  IT!!!!!!!!   Such a sweet, simple movie...then again, I think
  Teletubbies are awesome, too...but this movie really was good.  I
  fully recommend taking your little ones to it...I even think Jess and
  her friend would have enjoyed it.  Jason got some good belly
  laughs out of it, I got quite a few chuckles...just go see it already!
                                              
  
  OK...that's about all in my life right now...need to make some phone
  calls anyway...Jess is doing the 30 hr famine at our church this
  weekend, and need to figure out this weekends schedule to work around
  this...(30 hr famine is the youth basically eating nothing for 30 hrs,
  drinking water and gatorade and juice, and getting sponsors from the
  neighborhood to raise funds for feeding the hungry...last year they
  raised $8,000)  So talk atcha all later!
                                     
  gotta run!

  OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES
  
  
  
  Kids are asked questions about marriage...and, OH! how they answered!!

  How do you decide who to marry?

  • "You got to find somebody who likes the
    same stuff. Like if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she
    should keep the chips and dip coming."  Alan, age 10

  • "No person really decides before they grow
    up who they're going to marry.  God decides it all way before, and you get to find
    out later who you're stuck with."  Kirsten, age 10

  What is the right age to get married?

  • "Twenty-three is the best age because you
    know the person FOREVER by then."  Camille, age 10

  • "No age is good to get married at. You got
    to be a fool to get married."  Freddie, age 6

  How can a stranger tell if two people are
  married?

  • "Married people usually look happy to talk
    to other people." Eddie, age 6

  • "You might have to guess, based on whether
    they seem to be yelling at the same kids." Derrick, age 8

  What do you think your Mom and Dad have
  in common?

  • "Both don't want no more kids." Lori,
    age 8

  What do most people do on a date?

  • "Dates are for having fun, and people
    should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen
    long enough."  Lynnette, age 8

  • "On the first date, they just tell each
    other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date."
      Martin, age 10

  What would you do on a first date that
  was turning sour?

  • "I'd run home and play dead. The next day I
    would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead
    columns." Craig, age 9

  When is it OK to kiss someone?

  • "When they're rich."  Pam, age 7

  • "The law says you have to be eighteen, so I
    wouldn't want to mess with that."  Curt, age 7

  • "The rule goes like this: if you kiss
    someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to
    do".  Howard, age 8

  Is it better to be single or married?

  • "I don't know which is better, but I'll
    tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all
    grossed out." Theodore, age 8

  • "It's better for girls to be single but not
    for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them." Anita, age 9

  • "Single is better, for the simple reason
    that I wouldn't want to change no diapers. Of course, if I did get married, I'd just phone
    my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper changing." Kirsten, age
    10

  How would the world be different if
  people didn't get married?

  • "There sure would be a lot of kids to
    explain, wouldn't there?" Kelvin, age 8

  • "You can be sure of one thing - the boys
    would come chasing after us just the same as they do now."  Roberta, age 7

  How would you make a marriage work?

  • "If you want to last with your man, you
    should wear a lot of sexy clothes, especially underwear that is red and maybe has a few
    diamonds on it."  Lori, age 8

  • "Tell your wife that she looks pretty even
    if she looks like a truck."  Ricky, age 10
