Dear UPS Man:

I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, but those beautiful boxes you are delivering to me weekly that have the word FRAGILE printed directly on the box, are just that... FRAGILE.

Oh, and the wonderful scent that is drifting from said box into your dirty vehicle... is... wax.

Lesson #1 Do not throw my boxes around like they are filled only with packing peanuts. I watched you today... stop in front of my house, sit there for 35 minutes, get up, grab my box and literally pitch it from your seat to the ground. Oh, not once... twice. The next time I see you do that.. I might just claw your eyes out. Seriously.

Lesson #2 If you are going to deliver to my doorstep. Could you at least knock on my door and let me know you have arrived. Remember... wax?? Hot Oklahoma heat index of 115 today brother. I am sick of going to the door every hour to see if you have dropped off my package.


I wish you looked like Drew Carey instead of Mr. Beautiful Wonderful Stud.

Truly-
Jen

30 Day Challenge - Day 3 of 30

I never promised to stay on track with this 30 day challenge. :)

Day 3 is all about your favorite TV shows.  So, below is a list of mine.  I can honestly say, Thursday nights have been my favorite for years.  The best TV is always on Thursday.  Kevin is so good to me, he usually lets me be. 


ER -  My favorite, hands down.  I watched ER from day one.  I have watched every single episode probably more then twice.  This is the very first show that I really followed.

Survivor - I am a true sucker for survivor.

*edited to add:
Big Brother-  How could I forget BIG BROTHER??? Thank GOD my sister, Amanda was watchin' my back.  this show is for all of us "people watchers" aka. nosy bitches.

Friends- Whachyouuuu dooin

Greys Anatomy-  Almost lost me this year... but the final few episodes caught my attention.

Private Practice- I love this show.  It isn't just about medical crap... it has life, and drama, and love... ahhh

Toddlers and Tiaras - I'll bunch these two together.  They are to fulfill my drama tank, that's all.
Kate + 8

Army Wives-  This show makes me sign Kevin up for the army and move to Charleston SC to live on base.
                         Yes, I know this is just made up stuff... but its a feel good show for me!!

The Duggars-  If there was a perfect family... this would be the one.  I LOVE to watch them!

Day 2 of 30 - Favorite Movie

Hands down best movie ever... Shawshank Redemption.  (I need to get that back from my dad...)  I didn't watch it until a few years ago, shame.

Next favorite move: Pretty Woman.  I watched pretty woman so much during 10th and 11th grade, that I wore out a VHS tape... TWO of them.  Anytime TBS is showing Pretty Woman, I stop everything I am doing to watch.  I can quote this movie line by line.  It is just a "feel good" movie. 


The Wizard of Oz- Another movie I have been known to watch multiple times. 

Dazed and Confused- Every time I watch this one, I think of my high school buddies.  Man, I was so lucky.  Seth Campbell would go around saying, "check ya later"  Classic.

Tombstone- ahhh do I have to explain? 

Beaches, Steel Magnolias, 8 Seconds... all great movies to watch when you need a great cry.

Field of Dreams- This movie was replaced by Shawshank... but barely.   I cry during this movie each and every time I watch it. every time


Shout out to Megs!  Love YOU sister.

 

30 day challenge - Day 1 of 30

your favorite song

Can anyone pick one  favorite song?  I know I can't.  I don't even think I can come close.  I was never one of those that would listen to lyrics, I mostly listen to tunes.  I can remember times in my past where I would have music spurts if you will.. but was never cool enough to be music smart. 

With that being said, here is what I can think of...

5. "Seven Bridges Road" by the Eagles

There are stars
In the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the seven bridges road

Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there’s a part of me
Has to turn form here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the seven bridges road

There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the seven bridges road

4. "Hold on to Jesus" by Michelle Tumes

I've found love
I've found peace in my life
I've found joy
That no one can describe
When I lay down to sleep

There's a voice inside keeps telling me
Something that I ought to do
You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your heart is crying, your world is dying
You've got to hold on to Jesus
When your life has had enough

I've had pain
And like everyone else
I've been tempted
To only live for myself
When I lay down to sleep

And as time goes by, the tick of the clock is not enough for me
And as time goes by, I'll give Jesus my allegiance


You and me and we've got to hold on
You and me and we've got to hold on
You and me and we've got to hold on
Hold on to Jesus

3. "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

2. "Cryin for me" by Toby Keith

Got the news on Friday mornin’
But a tear I couldn’t find
You showed me how I’m supposed to live
And now you showed me how to die
I was lost till Sunday mornin’
I woke up to face my fear
While I’m writing you this goodbye song
I found a tear

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
That old familiar message
I heard a thousand times it just said
Sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and god bless
I know you think I’m crazy
But I had to hear your voice I guess

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

So play your upside-down, left handed
Backwards bass guitar
And I’ll see you on the other side
Superstar

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I’m still crying
I’m crying for me
I’m still crying

1.  ANYTHING by Collective Soul
      Lyrics are from "December"

Why drink the water
from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards
your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.

Don't scream about
Don't think aloud
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out

Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.
Don't throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance and vanity.

December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

rant

I stumbled upon a facebook fan page today. I had to do a double take...it looked exactly like mine. No... surely not. Oh, Yes. Someone totally face-jacked (like car jacked) my fan page. Could you NOT come up with your own information??? Really? I mean, I stopped plagiarizing in jr high.

Stuff

* Blayne loves Dr. Pepper.  I know he shouldn't even know what it is, but he does.  He requests milk 99% of the time, so I feel less guilty when I give him the good stuff.

* Emileigh is very independent.  She loves to be put in the middle of her brothers room, surrounded by his toys, and left alone to play with them all.

* Blayne will watch a movie over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over....... same one.  I get so tired of hearing the same movie, but he loves it. 

* Grandma will be here tomorrow.  We are going shopping sans kiddos.  I am so excited, it's really sad.

* I could not watch an entire game of soccer for two reasons.  1. I know nothing about the game. 2. That buzzing sound those people are making is driving me insane.  

*watching blayne watch soccer and kick an invisiable ball- priceless.  

FUNNY

** If you are easily offended... do not read this post.  You arent missing much **

So it is 10:50 pm, I am laying on my bed patiently waiting for the Big Brother 12 live feeds to come on. STUPID WEST COASTERS (love ya megs)...

Kevin is playing poker, SURPRISE!!, and is normally very quiet during the process.  I only hear little clicks of the mouse and keystrokes from time to time. 

Then out of the blue, Kevin proclaims, "somebody just told me to 'eat a dick and die'". 


I haven't been able to stop lauging yet.

People get really pissed about their .02 cent poker games online. 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

okay, back to big brother. 

Ten on Tuesday

10 Ways to Enjoy the Summer

1.  Laying on the couch under a light blanket watching a movie because the air conditioner is down low.
2.  Home Grown, Vine Ripe Tomato - Picked from the vine, into the mouth before even walking in the house.
3.  12 hours of daylight, meaning less depression!
4.  Summer television shows. AKA- big brother!
5.  Fireworks, before children.  Fireworks with a 9 month old and 2 year old is a whole new experience.
6.  freshly cut grass, it smells and looks so wonderful.
7.  Shorts, flip flops, t-shirts.
8.  Swimming pools, waterparks, water!
9.  Flexible schedules, less rushing, more relaxing.
10. Watching my kids play in the sand box, play outside, and explore. 

BBBFFF

* I love watching people, I am a people watcher.

* I belong to a forum 2peas, and it is crazy full of information

* It is my own sorority! 

This is what I posted tonight- Thought I would copy to here.  Pretty much sums up my BB Love.

I have a confession. I have stayed away from 2Peas for a while, you know... life kinda got in the way. But today... that has all changed THERE IS A BIG BROTHER FREAKING FOLLOWING HERE!!!!

I have watched Big Brother since season 1. Thankfully, season 2 was much better and I was hooked. Oh, and the writer's strike... the year we had TWO SEASONS! I love those writers

I am a blessed married mother of two little ba'bees. I refer them as "tots" or mostly the "taylor tots"

Blayne is 2 and Emileigh is 9 months. They are exactly 18 months apart and keep me on my toes. I never thought I would have such perfect kids.

My husband is a Paramedic and works those god-awful 24 hour shifts. You know the kind, where he says, "honey I am at work for twenty-FOUR whole hours, I am tired!" He forgets to add the part about grown men playing xbox 360 for 16 of those said hours, while I have been at home with two toddlers who are in a very heated, very close competition to see who can poo the most during the day!

Before I was a mommy, I worked in the Transportation/Logistics field. I was responsible for making sure 300 Semi's were where they were supposed to be 100% of the time. that job... easy.

We live in OKLAHOMA and are true Boomer Sooners... even during the hard times. We root for anyone who is playing OSU, Nebraska, and Texas with our whole hearts.... unless it is the stinkin national Championship then we will send some sooner magic to those for a fee. " Gotta stay loyal to your conference, right? Nebraska- you are OUT! Jk Jk



So.... BB for me is an outlet. I love other people's drama. I kinda feed off of it and use it to convenience myself that my life isn't as boring as it really is.

I hate being a thread killer, so if you see me post, be kind and at least say, Yo. HA

I have a blog and a facebook- I love freinds!!!!

I can't WAIT to join up with you gals. I hope I am as cool as you all are!.
