Oh poor Crystal……..

I was talking to my deer (HA!) friend Crystal last night when all of a sudden she screeched and said…

“oh my God, I just hit a deer!”

After knowing she was ok, we hung up so she could call her husband and get a police officer to the scene.

While waiting for the police, a guy happened along and stopped to see if she was ok. She reluctantly rolled down her window an inch and partially screamed “Yep, I’m fine” while locking the doors. The guy goes over to the deer, who is still alive, and takes a gander. He then proceeds to call a buddy on his phone and tells him to bring his truck…..

Next thing ya know, a dude shows up with a truck and the two guys RUN OVER THE DEER! “to put it out of it’s misery” – Yeah RIGHT! It doesn’t end there folks…..they ran it over a second time because the first time didn’t seem to get the job done – ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! Mean while, Crystal is sitting in her car, watching this horrific scene unfold in her rear view mirror. After all of the running over of the deer, they guys left it! They didn’t even take the deer for it’s meat or anything – can you say HILLBILLY?! I can only imagine the initial phone conversation….”Hey Earl, this is Bubba….man, you gotta get ur truck over here and run this dang darn deer over!”

By the time the police officer arrived, the two guys were gone- leaving Crystal to hysterically tell him what had happened…hence:

Happy Halloween to all the ghouls and goblins in Blog Land!

Today, as a special treat for my boss, Shelly, Chad and I donned on a few wigs from my costume collection and posed for pictures which we sent to Bill. Shelly also dressed up in full costume as….Bill.

There’s a little back story for the costume:


On a few occasions, Bill has accidentally spilled coffee on his shirt. (she used soy sauce to achieve the effect….stinky! – don’t worry, she isn’t wearing the costume all day.)

For a recent hunting trip, Bill was unable to find his blaze orange hunting cap, so he found a faded dark pink hat – Polo – with pony and all – and thought that might work. Not so much.

When in a good mood (which thankfully is quite often) he pretends to smoke a cigar using a pen.

He found our photo shoot to be quite humorous!






I could just vomit……


I am so tired of the constant onslaught of political “messages”. I am tired of hearing it on the radio, seeing it on my television, listening to the chatter in my office……la la la la la….. not listening! Most of all…..I’m tired of “defending” my choices and the candidates I plan to vote for. It’s my choice and my personal business. Even when I say “I’m not voting” just to get people to back off, I get pummeled (rest assured, I AM VOTING!) …..November 4th….GET HERE ALREADY!!!!!








I'm finally an Auntie!





Warren Michael was born on October 18th, 2008 at 11:27 AM. 8 lb 6 oz, 19 1/2 inch.





He is so adorable! He looks very much like my brother did when he was a baby. I am so happy for my brother and Jess. They are going to be wonderful parents and Warren will be very spoiled by his entire family!





Jessica is an only child so Jeff and I have a big responsibility as Aunt and Uncle...being we are the only ones. They also asked us to be his Godparents.....and we are very honored to accept.





I really could have held him and started at his cute little nose all day yesterday.





Made my uterus pang....well almost....ha!
