It's been awhile...

I can't believe I haven't written since the soccer game morning...Let me just say that it was pretty fun hanging out w/ my nephews and also my niece (their older sister) decided to come with me too...She is such a good girl..Well, not that she's a little one...she's 23..but still...lol...She's been very busy w/ school and having a life, I don't get to see her much...She has completed most of her schooling now, and is a state licensed Paramedic...yes, I am very proud...her goal is to be a flight nurse on a helicopter...Bayflite or one of those...But, the soccer game, well, my boys lost. But they had alot of fun...My bear told me tho, that he doesn't like soccer...only his mom signed him up without asking him...He is too funny...but he said he would try to make a goal for me...awwwwwwwww....That's why I love my Bear...
Now, on to the Harry Potter movie....Ughhhhhhhh....I HATED it...I really truly HATED it....this rant might bore some of you, altho not Bri, I'm sure...she's a harry potter fan, too....but anyways...The fourth book was my very favorite book of them all....I had real high hopes for this movie....And I really went into it, knowing that they have to change things....They always do...but my GOD....I have read this one book at least 7 times....(see, I told you I have no life...lol)
But seriously...I was kinda lost in this movie....I won't bore you too much, but let me just say that Dumbledore would NEVER throw Harry into a wall...or scream in his face....as for the rest of the teachers...geeezzzzzz....How violent they portrayed them...I had to laugh tho, when Snape kept slappin Harry and Ron, but even still...that just wasn't right...But let me just say this....mark my words...when the next movie comes out....Order of the Phoenix....I will NOT be going to it....I swear...I WON'T GO!!!
well..... I think I feel better now...lol....
Thanksgiving was great....I love spending time with my whole family....I mean, it's my husband's family really...but we have been a part of each other's lives for so long, that they are officially MY family, not his...lol....Its just nice...everyone you love all together...kinda sad that It usually only happens on holidays anymore...but still....Its wonderful...
I have to say this, too....We lost power Thursday night for about three hours...but it was like 1 in the morning....But again, yesterday, Sunday...we lost it for about 7 frickin hours....I have a new respect for people who went thru the hurricanes...I would lose my frickin mind...My kids were soooo bored....and god forbid, they actually go OUTSIDE and play...nope...they had to fight...all day...all day long...when the power came back on, they were so exhausted from fighting, they all passed out....too funny...
I also wanted to thank bigred and diayah for stopping by and posting....bri, too...Gotta check your blogs out too...course, the last time I checked, bigred, you didn't have yours up yet...what's up w/ that??? I live for other peoples blogs...lol...anyways...I think I have bitched just a little too much for one post, but like I said, it's been awhile...I hope everyone has a great day!!!!

I have to ask why?

So its Saturday morning...very quiet at my house..It's 7 a.m. and I am awake. Why? you ask....I am taking my nephews to their soccer game. There mother had to go to Tampa this morning to take some test so she can get a job at the school. I was gonna go to their game anyways, so I told her I would take them so their dad didn't have to take the day off of work....I just didn't think I would wake up at 5:30. Oh well...at least, like I said, its quiet.
Couple of things I wanted to talk about. Why is it, that people buy and drive cars that they don't fit in?...What I mean is this...
I'm driving my son home from school, and I happen to notice the car in front of me...I know, what a concept..noticing whats driving in front of me, I know..anyway..I digress...I look at this car...and I think...HOLY SHIT...no one is driving that car!!!!! It's driving down a major road, with no one behind the wheel...I start to feel a little odd...something just isn't right...So, I look again, and I see eyes in their rearview mirror...OKAY...I'm alright...there IS someone driving...but I can't see their head...I really can't see the person driving...they are so short, it is so frickin bizarre....Does anyone know what I mean??? Like that old Wendy's commercial.."where's the beef??" that old lady was sooo little...But anyway..it makes you feel like the car is being driven by nobody..
and another thing..why can't people use their turn signals??? Is it really that difficult to reach over and push the lever up, or pull the lever down?? It really is not that big a deal...It doesn't take a rocket scientist...just use the damn thing already...It really does drive me insane. And what about people that are driving down the highway...in the fast lane...going 45. WHY!!! There are at least two lanes...if not, three...But one is a slow lane, one is a fast lane....You ever notice, your always in the wrong lane?? I mean, your clippin along....singing as loud as you can to no one in particular...minding your own business, when opps...your almost crashing into the car in front of you because they are going 40 mph in a 60mph zone. WTF..so you turn on blinker to pass....(see, I USE my turn signal) and oops...there's a car already there....so you wait....they are both going the same speed limit...AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!! I hate that...My one nephew gave me a paint ball from his paint ball set to use in just this situation....
What did I do with that stupid paint ball!!!!!
Anyways...I was just wasting some time until it was time for me to leave. I think I've gotten my bitch session over with for now....Going to see Harry Potter this afternoon, too...YEAH!!!!! Gotta love it....Well...I hope you all have a great day, and watch out for those little drivers out there!!! :)

My weekend at the Super Soap thingy...

I was sooooo exited to be going to this thing...I know that some people think its stupid, but I can't help it..I am hooked.
We left home at 7 a.m. and got to MGM Studios at 8:30. It took 25 minutes to get thru the ticket line. My sister has a season pass, so we just had to wait for my ticket. We finally get thru. The first star we saw was Jacob Young, who plays JR on All My Children. We didn't get the fast passes to get you face to face w/ the stars, but it didn't matter. We were RIGHT there. He seemed very nice. Something funky with his teeth, but more on that later.
After leaving JR, we ran into (and I mean literally) the guy that plays Jonathon on All My Children. He was being escorted into the bathrooms, and we weren't paying attention. And literally bumped right into his entourage. He,too was very nice. And coming up right behind him was Cameron Matheson...he plays Jonathons brother, Ryan Lavery, on the show. He was full of smiles, and was also very pleasant..Again, funky teeth.
I am not gonna go into every star person by person. We saw EVERYONE. Even Steve Burton, who plays, of course, Jason Morgan on General Hospital. But he was impossible to get close to. Women were EVERYWHERE...lol...But when he came out to the crowd, he came out RIGHT where we were standing. And we were gonna give up. Go figure.
Most of them were soooo nice. Alexa Havins (Babe Chandler) was sooo sweet. She talked to you like she's known you her whole life, and her real life husband, who plays Jamie Martin, is just as sweet. They both posed for pictures, and gave anyone who could get close enough, an autograph. The one that I thought was most handsome, moreso than I would have thought was Micheal Easton, who plays John McBain on One Life to Live. He looks great on the show, but 50 times moreso in real life. LOL...he actually took my breath away, he was so handsome. We caught the guy that plays Christian Vega taking a smoke break. He was very quiet. But at least smiled at us...
All the women were way prettier than they seem...Almost too beautiful. They were all so damn skinny...and beautiful. I guess I said that already, but really....
So, now on to the teeth thing...I would say that at least 95 % of these people have veneers...But they LOOK like they have them. NOBODY'S teeth looked real...It was very bizarre...I don't know how to explain it...After Jacob Young, I looked at everyone's teeth. By the end of the day, all I saw was teeth. Especially the women, but it looked more dramatic on the men...so unnatural.
I really don't mean to sound mean. I really don't...I am just trying to say how very bizarre and surreal the whole thing was...lol
But, besides that...it was totally awesome...I can't describe how it felt to see the people that I watch on a daily basis, and do it credit. Surreal, bizarre, wonderful, awesome....All of that...and more...I wish I could've gone for the whole weekend...Seeing THE Susan Lucci and Erika Sleazak...wow....beyond words...
But thats enough about that...needless to say it was a great time, and I look forward to going again next year...
Have a great day!!

Nothing much to post about today...Life for me is ongoing...not too much changes that I can talk about...Kids are all healthy, hubby is content, and I am on a diet. Again. I have to say that being overweight really sucks. I dieted about 6 years ago and lost about 50 lbs. Which was wonderful. Except of course that I gained it all back plus add another 10 lbs to it... Yes, I am a cow...lol...The funny thing is, that I have always been overweight, except that one year...but the only thing anyone remembers is when I was thinner..."Oh, you looked so good thin..." well...what did I look like when I was normal weight??? I mean, WTF?? People who have known me forever, seem to have forgotten that when they first met me, I was fat...Whatever..Well...this time, I am going to take off the weight and keep it off...If it kills me...course, this is the wrong time of year to start a diet, but I say, If the idea is there, go with it...because the whole weight loss thing is a mind game...pills, eating right, exercise...none of it really matters if your mind isn't in the right place...Don't get me wrong..eating right and exercise is great to be healthy...but doesn't necessarily mean you will lose weight...
Anyways...enough about me being fat...I will lose 60 lbs, and that is all I got to say on that...lol
The 12th of this month, which is exactly 8 days from today I get to see my soap stars live and in person!!!! Yeah!!!!!! I live in Florida, and I have been to Disney once...go figure...and I go; but not to see the rides and glory of all that is Disney..no...I go to see SOAP STARS!!! Its the soap star weekend 10th anniversary, so there will be more stars than usual....I really can't believe I get to see them...I don't care if I don't have a hairdo...I don't care that I need to lose 60 lbs...nope...I just want to get sonny and Jason's autograph...WOOOOHOOOOO!!! Needless to say, I am excited....
And you might think I am being selfish...as in, I have kids...and I am NOT bringing them..But never fear...My sister in law takes them for their birthdays...so they get to go once a year for a whole weekend of rides, food, sun...and whatever they want...so they get to go too...so there...this is MY weekend,dammit...and I am going to enjoy the hell out of it...And for god's sake...I better get SOMEONE'S signature, or I will just die..or rather feel like I will die...lol...Cuz I will probably never go again...
Altho....lol...I would like to go one year for the whole weekend.....That would be really cool...I am not much of an amusement park type person...I do NOT like the heat, not at all...SO, you may ask...why live in FLORIDA??? Well..not for nothing, I have lived here for 22 years...so it pretty much is home..and besides...I have central air conditioning...I do not go outside in the summer...unless I absolutely have to...I mean...REALLY have to...lol...I know....what an idiot...what can I say...So I am a little off...sorry...lol
Anyways...I think I have rambled on enough....I don't have anything interesting to say...just like to ramble....Anyone reading this...sorry....I know....but really...anyone reading this, I hope you have a great day..
I am going to go drink some water...God, I LOVE DIETING!!!!!

Halloween is over...on to Thanksgiving...

So, we did the whole trick or treat thing last nite...It was cool...the weather was perfect, not too cool, but definately not hot...I love it...My oldest daughter dressed as a grecian goddess and my little one was a princess...she wanted to be a dead cheerleader, as she has wanted to be for the last 6 years..lol...but she was a princess..go figure...my son didn't dress up...he hasn't for the last two years..I think he thinks he is too old...Sometimes, I really just don't get him.
We do halloween w/ my sister-in-law and the triplets..I stay at her house w/ Jacob and we give out the candy to the kids..He loves when the kids talk to him, so he stays w/ me..My DH (dear husband, as he will be referred as from now on) and his sister and her hubby take the rest of the kids around their neighborhood.. That area has the best candy, and alot of migrators..(kids from other areas, that migrate over to their place..parents drop them off at the end of the road, and drive along as the kids trick or treat) My nephews dressed up as: the bear was a pirate, joshie was darth vader and jacob was a doctor. We decided he would be a doctor for a change, instead of always being the patient..lol..we also had other side of the families kids too...I don't remember what they dressed as tho...they got there late and took off right away, so I didn't see...lol..Kids..always in a hurry..I really wish they could bottle kid's energy..cuz I sure as hell could use it..
So, needless to say, they made a good haul..Tons of candy they don't need, and which I will throw away in about three weeks....They really don't need all that crap, but, hey..three weeks is long enough, right?
And on to other things. My 16 year old. She can lie to my face so easily. Why is that? And why do I always fall for it? Report cards came out last wednesday. She said she would get hers on Friday, cuz High School is different than the other schools, ya know. I didn't really believe that, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. So friday comes. "Well, Mom, we had a pep rally first thing this morning, so they are gonna give them out monday. I swear ,mom. I promise. Monday. You can call" me.."You swear? Cuz you know I will call" her"No, mom, I swear, you can call anyone..I swear"
So, I call the school. By this time, its after 4 in the afternoon, so office hours, and all...well, I got their voicemail..In comes daddy...where's your report card? and so the story goes...again...well daddy calls his brother...(his kids go to the same school) Oh, I got their report cards on WEDNESDAY
WTF...i say...how can she lie to me like that, and again I say, why do I fall for it??????? It was homecoming weekend, and homecoming dance was saturday..so she just wanted to put it off (the grounding) but she got busted.. So I get her report yesterday and she's got 3F's, 2D's a B and an A. We have grounded this girl, taken everything away, and she still continues to pull the same grades. I don't know what to do anymore. She really just doesn't do the work..No homework,ever....I know I have been on her ass for years about this, but nothing ever changes. Grounding her has no affect at all...She literally doesn't care. As long as she still gets to school to see her friends, she's happy. I told her I was gonna switch her schools, and she said it was fine, cuz she has friends there, too. I thought about home schooling, but I really don't have that kind of patience. Then I threatened to pull her out of school all together, make her quit and get a job...She said that wasn't fair. How is that??? She cries cuz I wanna MAKE her quit school...Oh lord, I just don't know what to do with her. Cuz besides her school, she really is a good kid...she doesn't do drugs, she isn't a smart ass teenager...and she actually LIKES me and her dad. She loves to sit w/ us daily and talk and talk. She TALKS to us. Doesn't anyone out there have the answer???? Cuz I sure as hell don't
Well I guess thats enough bitching for one day. Like I said, Halloween was nice, and I am glad this year is almost over.
