I gotta go back to my parents tonight...this time everyone gets to come
with me!!!! Yeagh! The only bummer part of them coming with, is I
don't get to listen to music of my choice in the car...I got a whole
bunch of the 80's metal to listen to last time...it was FANTASTIC just
gettig to jam to that stuff for 3 hours!!! Ahh...back when music
ROCKED. Guns N Roses, Slaughter, Aerosmith, ...good stuff...maybe
that stuff also led me to think on old times...hmm.
Did I mention Jess got her progress report for this quarter?
(middle of the quarter report) That girl is angling for that
Japanese dinner something fierce...7 A's, 2 B's. Little
smartie. Now if she can keep that up until quarter ends...hope
she can...lots of things come up in the Spring...spring fever being
number one, try-outs for solos with the school chorus are today...which
will suck up time with practices, her church spring musical (where she
also has a solo), and piano recital coming up in May. I know May
seems far off, but the piano teacher makes them memorize their pieces
for the recital...oh and Girl Scouts kicks into high gear again,
too...camping, Thinking Day, community stuff...
My Chako kitty's not doing too well, folks...I'm a little worried...we
got him as a baby baby over in Japan when we first got married, so
let's see...he's going on 13 years...we even had to bottle nurse
him...got some cute pics somewhere of him as a baby, will have to
borrow my lovely lovely wonderful excellent friend again 
to help me? (that would be number_one_blonde up there...go say
hi...she's pretty awesome) ANYWAY, a couple of years ago, he got
pancreatitis, and just has never really recovered all the way...he's a
big-boned kitty, everyone's always commented on how he looks like a
small panther...he's BIG...used to weigh in at 16 pounds, and he wasn't
a chunker. Now my Chako baby is 9 pounds...his fur just isn't
shiny, and he doesn't play. Makes me sad...he does cuddle-ALOT, he's my
night time foot warmer, sometimes when he gets really cold, he'll come
climb under the covers-making sure his head is on my pillow...I feed
him special food from the other kitties...nice soft stuff...he's so
persnickety, though. I can't imagine the house without him...I
think Kiya kitty would go soon after for mourning...she's 15, and his
surrogate mother...Cally, though, I think might celebrate...little
b@*&@...they have just never gotten along...(Cally's 2 or 3 I
think) Man, I think I am just way too maudlin lately...WHAT is
wrong with me?
Valentine's Day is Tuesday...not really doing anything major...we
normally stay home, I fix a super yummy dinner, and we all eat by
candlelight...I see no reason to exclude the kiddos...they're my little
Valentines. Got A a giant size bag of those maraschino
kisses..might do something "creative" with those later!
I think I'll post our true love story on Valentines Day...why don't we
all do that? Post about the loves in our lives? Current,
past, whatever ya got...children count too...they are our loves,
correct? Nice V-Day tribute, ya know?
But our anniversary is next Saturday, too...now THAT day we don't skimp
on...I plan on kidnapping him to this bed and breakfast a little south
of here...got a sitter lined up and everything already!! We don't
normally buy expensive gifts, just try to make the best day we
can...though, let me tell you, when I lose all this weight, I WANT A
NEW WEDDING RING!!!! I've lost 2. YES I KNOW. It's
because I'm such a weight loss yo yo. First one I lost, I had
just lost all the weight from having Jess, and while I was throwing
food away in the food court, it slipped off my finger and into the
trash...which I did not discover until later...I spent all night in the
back of the BX searching through the food dumpsters....not fun.
And did not find it. Second time, I had lost a whole bunch of
weight again, but not enough for the ring to fit on my ring finger, so
was wearing it on my pinky...had my hand out the window, it fell
off...once again could not find it. A has offered to get me a new
one lately (it has been years...can't blame him), but I'm saying no
until I stay a size..not this size now, mind you. Now that the baby
factory is closed, that should help!!!
Well, long enough post for ya? Still have to find some chuckles...
Well, here's some truth for ya, anyway...though some hit so close to home, it is funny!
All You Need to Know About Men
MeMen like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved.
Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've
experienced pain and bought jewelry.
If you buy your husband or boyfriend a video camera, for the first
few weeks he has it, lock the door when you go to the
bathroom. Most of my husband's early films end with a scream and a
flush.
Be careful of men who are bald and rich; the arrogance of "rich"
usually cancels out the nice of "bald."
Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world
where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when
he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he
concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he
coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really
in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.
If it's attention you want, don't get involved with a man during
play-off season.
Men like phones with lots of buttons. It makes them feel important.
Men love to be the first to read the newspaper in the morning. Not
being the first is upsetting to their psyches.
All men look nerdy in black socks and sandals.
The way a man looks at himself in a mirror will tell you if he can
ever care about anyone else.
Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can
learn in private; in public they have to know.
Men who are going bald often wear baseball caps.
All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my
pillow, instead of a gun.
A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men
usually have jobs and bathe.
Men love watches with multiple functions. My husband has one that
is a combination address book, telescope and a piano.
All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship."
These seven words strike fear in the heart of even General
Schwarzkopf.
Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and
the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.
Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not brave enough
to get a bikini wax.
All men think that they're nice guys. Some of them are not.
Contact me for a list of names.
Men don't get cellulite. God might just be a man.
Men have an easier time buying bathing suits.
Women have two types: depressing and more depressing. Men have two
types: nerdy and not nerdy.
Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes
out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man.
Men are like portable heaters that snore.
Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen
a man walk into a party and say "Oh, my God, I'm
so embarrassed; get me out of here. There's another man wearing a
black tuxedo."
Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually
on the first floor of a department store, two inches
from the door.
If a man prepares dinner for you and the salad contains three or
more types of lettuce, he is serious.
If you're dating a man who you think might be "Mr. Right," if he
a) got older, b) got a new job, or c) visited a
psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly
theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.
Men own basketball teams. Every year cheerleaders' outfits get
tighter and briefer, and players' shorts get baggier and
longer.
No man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record
saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.
When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.
When four or more women get together, they talk about men.
Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.
Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the
movie "THE WAY WE WERE" twice, voluntarily.
Most women are introspective: "Am I in love? Am I emotionally and
creatively fulfilled?" Most men are outrospective:
"Did my team win? How's my car?"
If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't
forget... he didn't lose your number... he didn't die. He just
didn't want to call you.
Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him,
"Are we going to have sex again?" He said, "Yes, but
not with each other."
Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should do
it out of sight of women.
Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem.
"Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might
sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest
saying, "I love you... I want to marry you... I want to have
your children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.
Men accept compliments much better than women do. Example: "Mitch,
you look great." Mitch: "Thanks." On the other
side: "Ruth, you look great." Ruth: "I do? Must be the lighting."
Impulse buying is not macho. Men rarely call the Home Shopping
Network.
Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit.
Only men who have worn a ski suit understand how complicated it is
for a woman to go to the bathroom when she's wearing a jumpsuit.
Men don't feel the urge to get married as quickly as women do
because their clothes all button and zip in the front.
Women's dresses usually button and zip in the back. We need men
emotionally and sexually, but we also need men to help
us get dressed.
Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with
superheros. Women have bad self-images because they
grow up identifying with Barbie.
When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight,
she will assume she has gained weight. When a man
tries something from his closet that feels tight, he will assume the
clothing has shrunk.
Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With
female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes.
Male menopause - you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.
Men forget everything; women remember everything.
That's why men need instant replays in sports. They've already
forgotten what happened.
Men would like monogamy better if it sounded less like monotony.
All men would still really like to own a train set.
Know what? Been thinking
about it...I think on V-Day I'm gonna post about all the loves that
were and are...my anniversary post will be totally devoted to
hubby...he knows he's my special Valentine, anyway! 
Just took a little quiz, too...pretty on the nose, I think..
Your Candy Heart Says "First Kiss"
