Big Surprise for Darling Daughter

We did it! We bought a Saturn Coupe for the Princess and her siblings! She doesn't know yet, as of this posting...we are going to surprise her later today! We can't wait!

I got to see the kid who had the inappropriate logo on the back of his car... not a handsome kid; Neandrathal-type! Anyway, he has to drape a towel over the logo when his car is parked in front of the school. Problem solved in a way that make everyone happy. (Well, except maybe him, but he doesn't have to remove it, either!)

Tickets are bought for Sunday, April 9, 2006, 2 p.m. performance of Singin' In The Rain at Susquehannock High School. Yeah!!!!

Darlin' Daughter received her Governor's School letter yesterday. She did not get accepted. She was crushed. I felt so bad for her. Although this clears up her summer for other endeavors, she had her hopes pinned on going. I told her I would beat-up the lady who sent the rejection letter, but she declined my offer. Competition is tough for these programs, but I still think she should have been selected. But, then again, I am her MOM!

Musical Update

All is well in drama-land. Well, except perhaps the choreographer; not overly impressed. Darlin' Daughter is having trouble with staging. Many compliments were tossed around as she put on her pointe shoes and pirourette'd across the stage. Crew director, Joe, said,"When I see her, and how graceful she is...WOW!" So all that $$$ hasn't gone to waste! I am so proud!

Born in 1912, in Pittsburgh, PA, Eugene Curran Kelly was the third of five children.
Although he had really hoped to play professional baseball, his mother insisted he take dance lessons.
He began performing with his siblings on the Vaudeville scene as young as eight years of age. Soon, he and his brother Fred were performing for such Vaudeville greats as Cab Collaway.
In 1932, Gene and Fred opened the Gene Kelly Studio of the Dance in Pittsburgh and in Johnstown. The studio was run by all the family members. During this period of his life, Gene earned his degree in economics and choreographed several ventures for the University of Pittsburgh. He even applied for law school, but dance was his first love.
In 1938, he followed his heart and moved onto Broadway. Hi big break came when he got the part of Harry the Hoofer in in William Sarovan’s The Time of Your Life. While on Broadway, he met and eventually married Betsy Blair. Soon Hollywood beckoned and Gene Kelly became a contract actor. Soon his contract was bought by Louse Mayer and his star began to rise.
His first film was For Me and My Gal with Judy Garland. He began a lengthy career with such hits as An American in Paris and of course, Singin’ In The Rain!

I saw this on a bumper sticker today!

What a glorious feelin....

Ahhh, yes, "Singing in the Rain!" That's what I have been up to lately!! Play practice is hot and heavy right now, and I am in the thick of it! It's fun...the kids are great. Can't wait to see it all come together. No rest for the stage mom, that's for sure! The play runs 4/7-4/9. Maybe Momma and Poppa Bear could come??? If they so choose, they can join us on 4/9 for the last performance. Need to know soon, however, so that I may get the tix! Perhaps, if Freaky and Her Love are in town, they could come too????

The Flapper

The Roaring 2o's will always be associated with the Flapper. Flappers wore their hair too short, wore copious amounts of make-up (and dare I sayit...applied it in public!), smoked cigarettes, donned short, shiftless dresses and drank alcohol. Flappers also enjoyed jazz music and became forerunners in the sexual revolution of women in the United States. The French (who I believe were jealous!) called the Flapper lifestyle 'garconne'. Garconne is French for reckless rebel! And with that rebel yell, we cried, "MORE, MORE, MORE!"

Twentie's: Hairstyling

As WWI was coming to an end, women's liberation was being born. The "Rebel" yell of women started to howl across our nation!

Twenties Hairstylin': The Eton Crop

The Eton Crop, believe it or not, was the official haircut of the Eton preperatory school in England. This hairstyle was the most drastic of all 1920's hair styles. True to form, women loved not having to "fuss" with hair. The short hairstyle was born in America!

Twenty's Hairstylin' "The Shingle"

Of all the hairstyles of the 20's, the shingle was most associated with the era. With women's roles changing in the 1920's, a sense of liberation was echoed in the fashion industries. Women were embracing freedom from the generic roles that previosly defined them and became an entity to reckoned with! These ladies rocked!

On Mothers...

CUTE THINGS KIDS SAY ABOUT MOMS:
Read all the way through - the last part is the funniest!!

"Why God made moms" answers given by elementary school age children to the following questions:-

Why did God make mothers? 1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is. 2. Mostly to clean the house. 3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.-

How did God make mothers? 1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us. 2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring. 3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.-

What ingredients are mothers made of? 1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean. 2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

-Why did God give you your mother and not some other Mom? 1. We're related. 2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.-

What kind of little girl was your Mom? 1. My Mom has always been my Mom and none of that other stuff . 2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy. 3. They say she used to be nice.-

What did Mom need to know about dad before she married him? 1. His last name. 2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer? 3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your Mom marry your dad? 1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot. 2. She got too old to do anything else with him. 3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.-

Who's the boss at your house? 1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball. 2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed . 3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.-

What's the difference between moms and dads? 1. Moms work at work & work at home, & dads just go to work at work. 2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them. 3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.-

What does your Mom do in her spare time? 1. Mothers don't do spare time. 2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

-What would it take to make your Mom perfect? 1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery. 2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your Mom, what would it be? 1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that 2. I'd make my Mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me. 3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on her back

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. "Why?" my daughter asked."Because it's been laying outside, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?" "Uh," ...I was thinking quickly, " All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy."We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information."OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy""Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face and joy in my heart.

Poor Lil Dragon!

Lil Dragon is sick. We are so sad! We hope she gets all better real soon!

On Friendship...

· Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. Kahlil Gibran In a recent discussion at lunch, Shooters and Slattery and I discussed friendships. The concensus was the quality will rule over quantity every time. Perhaps because true friendships take work, patience and love, that many will opt out of quality. Maybe some don't have the time and others just cannot be intimate. This makes me sad for them. When the chips are down, who else is gonna eat them with you and say you're still the greatest chick in the world? Or, when you do fuck up, tell you it's ok and joke about your "idiot girl" syndrom?? I will take my few over the masses and plug as much energy into those relationships as I can! I know that I am truly grateful for the few, but INCREDIBLE friendships I do have.

Expand Your Horizons

I have decided to post a new vocabulary word everyday. This is not just for fun, but there are some words that I am not sure I am using correctly. Prosaic: To be obvious and unimaginitive. Defenesrtate: To throw someone or something out a window. Efficacy:powerful enough to produce desired results. Curpin: A bird's asshole (and i am NOT making it up!!!) Merkin: A female pubic wig (ew!) Simile. A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often in a phrase introduced by like or as. Epicurean: the pursuit of all things pleasurable or luxurious. Loquacious: talkative. Direful: Inspiring dread; terrible. Affable: soft-spoken, temperate. jeremiad:A literary work or speech expressing a bitter lament or a righteous prophecy of doom. Today's word: hypocondrial. I hate sounding so hypocondrial about my symptoms to the doctor!

Harry Potter Trivia

I love Harry Potter! And I know WAY too much trivia about the books! So, let's see if anyone out there knows as much as I do! If Lily Evans is Harry's mother. Voldemort's mother's name is Merope(Gaunt) Riddle. What national Quiddich team bought Firebolts for the Quiddich World Cup? Ireland. What is the significance of Sirius Black's name? Sirius can transform into a black dog. What is the term used for those who can change themselves into animals? Animagus. Who is The Half-Blood Prince???? Severus Snape. Why is he the Half-blood Prince? Because his mom was a witch and his dad was a muggle. Her maiden name was "prince".What's a muggle???

Feeling a Theme Coming On!

It's true...my so-called "liberal" sensitivities on today. I am just still pissed off about the substitute teacher and her stupid remarks on the classroom. Let me explain...This woman is wealthy. She comes from money and she has money. She takes her family on a cruise every year. (She has three children.) She drives a BMW and has designer pocketbooks. So, of course, she thinks Democrats waste money!
(oh, and she owns poodles!)

Is it just Me?

Been thinking, again. And I am starting to get pissed and sad. When I watch the news and hear about our troops dying, I cry. I was told that more people die in car accidents than in war...so that makes it better? Neither is ok. It saddens me that we are losing young lives. If the President would have just said,"Hey, Sadam is an asshole, and we're gonna get him..." I think we as a nation would have been ok. But we are not just fighting for liberty in Iraq. Americans are convinced we are fighting for oil. I think we are fighting just to keep the American Mind off of our Economy, Deficit and Governmental Corruption.

Debating Liberty

Liberty Defined:
1.The condition of being free from restriction or control.
2.The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one's own choosing.
3.The condition of being physically and legally free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor.Once again, discussions in my home are evolving. One child had a substitue teacher tell the class the all Democrats want to do is waste money. Same child has friends who tell her being pro-choice is wrong. Let me be clear, here. We live in America. Our preamble to our Constitution guarantees us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Addressing the issue of life: one defintion, besides the obvious, is the Human existence, relationships, or activity in general. We are assured to having our own exsistence. To me, and perhaps you may disagree, this means I have not only the right, but the ability, to have a full exsistence. One may ask, "How can you be pro-choice, then?" The answer is as simple as it is complicated...I get to chose what affects my life. I believe abortion is a moral tresspass. To simply end a life for the sake of either convenience or irresponsibility is wrong. However, it is not my place to project my beliefs onto another human being. I also would like to be able to choose if my life was to end due to a pregnancy, especially at this stage in my life. If I am given the right to live a full exsistence, then I must be given the right to execute my experience upon such a profound decision. Liberty. We are given liberty inAmerica. It is a gift few populations are given. I am free from any control. Yes, we are truly free here. "But we have laws!!!", you say. And we do. As a country, we are asked to abide by certain rules. We are still free to ignore those rules. It is the responsiblity of every American to respect the rights of others; that is why laws are made. I am free to act as I wish, but I am responsible for those actions. We need checks and balances in society. The gift of liberty is the avenue by which all who disagree can still live side-by-side, and not walled from each other. Pursuit of happiness. Can there be joy in living with others who disagree with you? Can we still love our friends, even when ideologically we are worlds apart? Yes, and we do in America. I find it so fascinating that I can dislike Goerge Bush and still love my friends who don't. I can be happy because I am allowed to be happy. I am allowed my own decisions, and decision-making processes. No one can tell me what makes me happy, but me! It is the right of every American. I get to pursue all avenues to fulfillment without control or restriction. Once again, however, one must be careful of extremisms. I cannot pursue my happiness at the cost of another human being. I have a responsiblity to all my countrymen to acknowledge the rights of others. I must be accountable, at all costs.
So why all the fuss? I guess I am tired of being labeled. I believe we have to care for own. Welfare is a good tool. Without it, I would never have eaten a decent meal as a child. But it is only a tool; not a lifestyle. I am pro-choice. I believe abortion is wrong. I am against war. But we are in one, and I cannot see a safe way out for all parties involved. I believe in small government (which technically makes me Republican) but all I see is government getting bigger. I don't like guns, but I respect your right to own one. I believe in life, but feel if you are guilty of taking another's, you should not be entitled to one of your own. Where does this put me and others who are passionate about America??? Pro-choice really is not about abortion for me. It is about telling the government that I have the right to chose all things for myself. I believe myself to be moral. I believe myself to be smart. And I want to be held accountable to the Constitution of The United States. I'll leave you with one last thought: On Wednesday, March 1, 2006, at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, was requested to testify.
At the end of his testimony, Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs said: "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?"
Raskin replied: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."
The room erupted into applause. --Baltimore Sun

It's Not All Good:
The Death of a Catch Phrase

Last Saturday night, at approximately 8:23 pm, the term “It’s All Good,” quietly passed away while appearing in a prime-time commercial for Buick. The cause of death was officially determined as “over exposure,” though the phrase had indeed lived an extended and prosperous life, having a long-standing returning role on The Jerry Springer Showand The View.
Survived by his wife, “You Go Girl!” and his children, “Don’t Go There” and “Talk to the Hand!”, the slang star was born in a school yard when several third-graders were fighting over a piece of Laffy Taffy and it fell onto the ground. Kenny Moses, a grammatically-challenged fat child, scraped the dirt off of the taffy with a popsicle stick and proclaimed, “It’s All Good!” After spreading through the school like wildfire, it was apparent that the term showed promise of a future in slang when several adults repeatedly asked, “Will you please stop saying that! What does that mean?” Soon, “It’s All Good” found a home in the hallways of middle and high schools. It was just a matter of time before someone noticed that “It’s All Good” had a star quality with a potential for greatness.
Spotted soon after in a nightclub by agent and retired slang star “Dy-NO-mite!”, “It’s All Good” immediately signed with the once-household name and found himself trudging to cattle calls.
“It was hard on him,” said “Dy-NO-mite!”. “You go to these auditions, you give them all you got. You’re spit and polished. And for what? They come back and say, ‘Sorry, we need something with more pizzazz,’ or ‘Thanks, but we’re really looking for a noun.’ That gets to you man, that can really eat you up. There were a couple of auditions when I thought, ‘This is it!’ but later, we’d find out that it went to ‘Hasta la vista, baby,’ or ‘Run, Forest, Run!’ Those were hard times, I tell you, hard times.”
Finally, however, “It’s All Good” got his first big break into slang when he played a brief, and nearly unnoticeable part on “Prince of Bel Air.” Star Will Smith decided to use him at the last minute, replacing “No Way, Jose,” who had just checked into drug rehab for a third time. Within weeks, “It’s All Good” was appearing on every episode and soon became a regular, which led to guest spots on Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, and Dharma and Greg.
“All of a sudden, ‘It’s All Good’ was every where,” remembered his wife, “You Go Girl,” who met her future husband on the set of The Ricki Lake Show. “It was over night, it seemed. People couldn’t get enough. He was on the tip of everyone’s tongue.”
His star was riding high. Jay Leno, Letterman, Conan were calling. There was talk of an HBO special, a record deal, an opening slot on the Britney Spears tour, and rumors were flying like gunfire about a possible Budweiser campaign. Things were looking great. And then disaster struck.
Negotiations with the beer giant crumbled when “It’s All Good” insisted that his younger brother, “It’s All Aight,” (more commonly known simply as “Aight”) be included in the campaign as well. Worried that “Aight’s” troubled past and affiliation to Puff Daddy would negatively affect the campaign, Budweiser pulled its offer when “It’s All Good” refused to budge. Word got around that he was difficult to deal with, and the phone stopped ringing.
“He got a fat head,” “Dy-NO-mite!” recalled. “But then another brother team was hired for the campaign, ‘Wasssup?’ and ‘What Are YOU Doing?’ That was the nail in the coffin, man. Punks!”
“It’s All Good” dropped out of sight, and it seemed that his once brilliant career was over. Younger, more splashier slang terms such as “I’m All That” and “Word Up!” started to fill his spots, and most people, with the exception of teenage, truck-driving males in Yuma, Arizona and Mudlick, Idaho, began to forget their once favorite expression.
Despite the production of bumper stickers, T-shirts and Post-It notes with his image, “It’s All Good” was on his way to has-been status. But one day last fall, it looked as if his luck was about to change. “Dy-NO-Mite!” received a call from Buick, who was looking to create “trendy and dope” ad campaign. And they wanted “It’s All Good” for their slogan.
“I found him in a seedy slang bar, sitting in between ‘Keep On Truckin’’ and ‘I’m With Stupid,’” the agent recalled. “It was pitiful. He had begun selling some of his letters, even vowels, to pay for the booze. I almost didn’t recognize him. ‘’s All Goo, ’s All Goo,’ is what he said to me. He was a broken term, just broken.”
His agent cleaned and sobered him up and took him to the shoot. According to people on the set, the talent of “It’s All Good” had not faded, and he produced what some say was his best work to date. It was a glorious comeback. Tragically, however, it wasn’t to last.
When the first Buick commercial aired last Saturday, “It’s All Good” uttered his last breath and quietly faded away to the other side.
“He’ll live in our hearts forever,” “You Go Girl!” said as she wiped away a tear, “or at least on that Buick commercial until the 2002 models come out. I heard ‘No Way, Jose’ got that part.”

Photos of Houston Rodeo...YEEEEEHA!

Houston

Blogger isn't posting photos, so i'll get them up when i can. We had a great time at the rodeo yesterday!!! This thing is HUGE!!! There were 73,000 people ther last night for the Brooks and Dunn concert. They were wonderful. The bull-riding is so neat!! One bull knocked a guy out even before he left the shoot! The calf-roping was a little hard to take, but still exciting. I really don't think it hurts the calves, but, it's a little uncomfortable for this cowgirl. The displays were amazing and they really support the AG kids here. A prize chicken went for $250,000!!! I was floored! Folks here are educated, culturally diverse and quite friendly. I just love this city!!! Momma Bear, definately put this place on our itinerary for "the trip!" Also got me a red cowboy hat. I like it, but hubby thinks it's a little too much. Screw him...I'm gonna wear it so that he is embarrassed! hehehe! See Ya'll soon!

Samisms

"samisms" mom, i think slippers has that thing boots had, you know, that "warmth" thing. The cat was in "heat." looking at a jackalope in a restaurant, sam said, "who had THAT party?"The older girls were talking about weed on day. Sam, who is quite naive at times said, "What the heck are you talking about? What is weed?" Lauren answered her, "Well, it ain't the stuff growning in the yard!!"In sectionals, sami handed her teacher the "Saving Grace" lotion (part of the Wash Your Sins Away collection.) After reading the instructions (bow head, engage pump...reflect on sin damage...remove cap, etc.) Her teacher asked,"Where do you get something like that?" To which sami replied, "oh, my house." The dog was farting in the car. I said my dogs don't fart, they FOOF! and sami said,"fine! it's the onomatopoeia fart!""Hey, mom... when you quit smoking, isn't it called"cold chicken?"" "No, cold turkey.." "OH, I knew it was some kind of poultry!"

Well, my pard'ners! I am to Bush International! God, how sacry is that???!!! Will update blog form there! I have a new Samism!! Will give full updates on a city that named it's airport BUSH!

I can't take it any longer!!!!

Several hours after activation, you may desire to shut down your teenaged daughter. There is no way to do this. Teenaged daughters require one of two levels of maintenance: "High," and "Ultra High." Your daughter is "Ultra High." This means that whatever you do won't be enough and whatever you try won't work.

How the Day is Ending

Have you any idea how many children it takes to turn off one light in the kitchen? Three. It takes one to say, "What light?" and two more to say, "I didn't turn it on."--Erma Bombeck

1st Ammendment Dilemma

As I was dropping off the girls today, I saw a volkswagen with a decal of two women spreading their legs to make the VW logo. I wrote to the school and just notified them. I told them I respect this person's rights, but that I question the judgement. I did find it offensive. I certainly don't think this decal is ok on school property. Or at the very least, in FRONT of the school, where the buses carrying elementary kids are driving by. The school is going to talk to the kid. Was I wrong for complaining? If they chose to park the car in the back of the school, I am ok with it. What do you think?

This Rates Pretty High on My Wierd-Shit-O-Meter!

A Central Ohio man allegedly told police that he likes to drink the urine of adolescent boys. Alan Patton, 54, is in jail after allegedly telling Gahanna, Ohio, police about his affection for urine. Police said Patton goes to family restaurants and movie theaters and waits for boys in a bathroom stall. Investigators said he shuts off the water to the child-level urinal and puts a cup in the bottom. "He goes back and retrieves the cup and drinks the urine," Detective Ron Fithen said. Patton allegedly told police that he leaves the stall after the child leaves. Fithen interviewed Patton after he was arrested while leaving a movie theater last weekend. "Listening to him describe it, it's like listening to a crack or cocaine addict. He's addicted to children's urine," Fithen said. According to police, Patton said he's been drinking urine for years. "He told us he's been doing it over 40 years, since he was 7 years old," Fithen said. Police said Patton told them it makes him sick, but that it's almost spiritual to him. He allegedly added, "I like it because it makes me closer to them -- like I'm drinking their youth."
