Round 2!

I think I'm gonna puke! I mean, blow Holy Chunks...sorry...

This is the day my kids have waited for since the end of June. High School Musical 2 made its debut at 5:00 Pacific Time today! As if 1 wasn't enough. I am ashamed to admit that even I know the words and moves to the first movie.

Even though we are knee deep in a room addition - life as we know it has STOPPED! It's all about Troy Bolton and no one else...Mom who?!! So in the middle of a great scene I keep asking my kids for help - I'm getting a huge kick out of it too! This will be the first of 82 times we will be tortured with this Disney Classic. Oh my- I just peaked at a scene...over actors!

Confession: I know every word to every song from the original Grease! Although I poke fun at my kids, I must admit that was me in the late 70's. I lived and breathed all things Grease! I crushed on Danny Zuko and cried the first time I saw him sing "Stranded At The Drive-In" when Sandi bailed on their date...sniff-sniff... So I know exactly what's going on inside my kiddo's little minds and hearts. To be young again! What a time!

What's your favorite movie and why?

Road Trip!

So we're heading back home this morning. My father in law will probably go home in a couple days. We will continue to keep all of you up to date on his progress..AND we are trusting there will indeed be progress!!!

So, although I won't check blog land until after I get home tonight, I have to ask you all a question...How do you deal with long road trips? We have 2 kids 10 & 13, and they do very good actually. But it's me!!! I can't read in the car...I will blow Holy Chunks if I try. If Brent has his ipod I'm usually forced to listen to cheesy 80's rock and ballads! If Kass has her ipod playing I have to listen to the same Paul Wright and Toby Mac songs over and over and over until one wished horrible things on someone else =o Then Kota, he sits directly behind me and insists very 3 minutes I turn around and look at what he's drawing or reading...again, Holy chunks! I love road trips - but just not with these people!

How do you make the best of the road?

What is that about!

We don't have an ice maker in our freezer. We are forced to use those wonderfully and well thought out created little ice trays. No big deal, I know!!!

But why is it whenever it's time to empty the trays into the bucket I am always the one who seems to find it "first"? Hmmmm!

Then, why is it that I can twist and turn and pound said tray on counter, run hot water on it and still ONE CUBE will refuse to come out?!!! It happened with all three trays just now - like always! And I will not let those pesky little cubes win! Not a chance! I filled all 12 slots - I'm gonna get me all 12 cubes!

That's 7 minutes I will never get back!

What silly little thing gets YOU going?

Tagged!

So I get a heads up from Mandy last night that Brent and I are getting a Marriage Tag and she felt strongly to tell us both not to compare answers..."Yes Mom" AND...we didn't! Yay! I haven't read Brent's answers yet but it's on his blog too!

Thanks Mandy - it was lots of fun! You have to check out her answers folks - GREAT stuff!

OK - so, NO, B and I are not comparing answers! This oughta be fun!

1- In 9 days, August 18th, we will be married for 16 years! Makes us sound old but we’re not! We’re both 36 and feel, and hopefully look, a lot younger! We have a 10 yr old son and 13 yr old girl.

2- He asked me to marry him on October 10th 1990. But if I have to be honest here - I actually asked him this…”So when are you gonna ask me to marry you?!” We’d been dating 2 months…SLACKER!

3- Our wedding cost 500 big whopping dollars! His father married us, his brother was his best man, HIS mom was my best woman! I designed my own dress (I can still fit into it - yay!!!) We had 600 people at our wedding, 8 of which we knew. And our pictures will show Brent sporting a Mullet! And I STILL married him!

4- Our song was Steven Curtis Chapmans “I Will Be Here”… I still tear up when I hear that!

5- I love and enjoy being with Brent more than I do anyone else on this planet! I can not think of a better person to spend my time with…”He completes me!” Oh my gosh - that is even funnier to type!!!

6- God could call us to the furthest corner of the world and it would be “home” and “right” simply because Brent would be there!

7- I have no idea what B’s answers will be - but I bet he will be more deep than me…It’s all about brownie points with him! Hee-Hee! But I’m not wasting #7 on that remark…

7a- We very seldom argue or fight. Less than a handful of times. But boy can we have a deep and intense discussion???!!!! We’ll “intensely discuss” anyone to their knees in despair =o

8- 8 already! I became a Christian, literally, days before we started dating. B knew the pit from where I had come from. He knew the life I had lived. He knew “most” things I had done. And yet he saw me as the “New Creation” I was. He showed me, from the very beginning, what it meant to have the character of God…he showed me grace and mercy… I will forever be indebted to my husband for choosing to love the “new me” and never holding the “old me” against me! I love you B!!!!

Change of pace here!

Doesn't life just feel this way sometimes? HA!

Cuz I'm A WOMAN!

Ya know why I'm so stinkin' happy today? Brent and our son just left for a 2 day camping trip! Cool in and of itself. But my man is doing something with our son that I ain't doin'. That's right friends, it's Birds & Bee's time! And because I am a woman (hands raised in the air rejoicing my brilliant God) I don't have to have this talk with him!

I thought about my single mama friends and what I'd do if I were also a single mom...HIRE SOMEONE! I've no shame! I highly recommend it in fact.

I had no problem talking to Kass about this - but there's something about me and my little boy...I can't explain it. I would be cracking up the whole time! And I just can't draw all that well. Besides, Kota would be making jokes and would likely walk away with a lot more questions than answers. Brent can command attention much better than I can, and so I pass the baton to him!

So they'll do some fun guy stuff... fishing, f**ting, eating lots of junk, burping, scratching...good bonding-like things. Brent will cleverly sneak the "talk" in there and hope for the best! And they'll come home enlightened - hopefully Kota more than Brent!

Autograph Please...

Hey friends! I have an autograph book for you all to sign. I found it on a new blogging friends site this morning. You'll find the link somewhere below my profile there on the right. Wow - now that was technical for ya! Have fun with it!

Personality Test

This test was great to take. I found it on a great blog! I have taken the DISC personality test before but, in my opinion, this is much better - and the results were definitely me. However, I certainly don't feel quite as manly as it stated - clearly they're measuring something I'm not aware of (no pun intended, really!) But they're the experts! Here's the link. You should be able to see my test results. If you wanta take your own simply click on the DNA logo at the top left. Have fun!
