Life Laughs

I have recently been able to read a book by Jenny McCarthy titled Life Laughs. This is the only book I have read by her so far.

I found the book to be quite hilarious, having to put it down several times because I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes! She talks about all kinds of things from her husband to sex. She even talks about her most embarrassing moments! She is real and to the point!

This book is certainly for adults only. She describes things in ways that I could never come up with in my wildest dreams, lol! You will also learn about "Jenny facts". This is too funny! Just a warning....she does use bad language. I personally don't have any problems with that.

I don't want to give any of it away because if someone wants to read the book, I'd hate to be the one that spoiled it! It is not for the faint of hearts! She does talk a lot about sex and gets very descriptive about it, so if that's not your thing....then don't even pick the book up!

Jenny did and awesome job in my opinion and I will probably read some of her other books in the future.

Beautiful AZ Sky-Wordless Wednesday

My daughter, Amber, took this picture outside our home a couple of weeks ago.

What are these kids thinking!

My youngest daughter, Amber, has a boyfriend named Kevin, who is in a "band". She goes to one of the boy's houses (Sam) every Tuesday and Thursday. The boys practice and Amber listens and takes pictures of them. I asked her if she was their groupie... but she says NO! She didn't find it as funny as I did for some reason.

Two of the boys have long hair and Kevin's is short but still a little long. They wear make-up on their face and remind me of the band Kiss but, without the white. The kids all look weird...even Amber. Lately, she has been wearing her make-up a bit thick and I have had to get after her for it. She also colors her hair...burgundy on top, and black on the bottom. Two of her friends cut her hair when she spent the night about a week ago. I came home and was like " WOW! What happened to your hair!" She said "Ashley and Bailey cut it...do you like it?" Um....NO! It needs fixed and I can do it but either I'm gone or she is so it hasn't been done yet. She reminds me of a mushroom, lol, but I didn't tell her that! The poor kid thinks she looks good! Now she has a lip ring! Thank God, it's not really pierced.

The ring is retractable but, she has some people at school thinking it's really pierced. My oldest son thinks I went crazy and let her pierce her lip. We haven't let him in on it yet! He was telling my sister that I let Amber pierce her lip, lol. He's so gullible...always has been.


I wish these kids well in their future of becoming famous but I don't like the make-up. I hope Amber grows out of her phase too!

Poker! Wordless Wednesday.

And that's all I have to say, lol!

Oh....I'm So Addicted!

I have been neglecting my blogging because of my new addiction! It has taken over my home life! It's all I can think about! It's called Facebook! I'm addicted to Facebook!

I first got on there to just see what it was. I wasn't too impressed at first but once I started reading all the flair, I just had to send my friend a bunch of it. It's all her fault anyway. She mentioned it and I just had to see what it was! I blame you! Lisa! LOL!!!!

At first I only had one friend......again.....Lisa! We sent little things back and forth using Superpoke! That is really cute! We also left each other little comments. Eventually I started looking for people I knew and old classmates. I started finding people, one by one. I even found someone I knew when I was 15. He was my ex's best friend when we were kids. I was very glad to get back in touch with him. We hadn't talked in years! There was and still is so much catching up to do! I just wish he still lived in AZ so he could come over and hang out with us. He and Chuck would get along great, probably ganging up on me!

Then the day came when I somehow was introduced to playing poker on FB. I don't even remember who's profile I stole the application from, lol. That's pathetic. I've never really played poker before this. Chuck playes on fulltiltpoker.net all the time. I only watch him, never playing! Then I got brave one day and tried it. Ever since then, I play everyday! I have lots of poker buddies and it only grows everyday. I'm getting better at the game. I also talk to people that are playing the game with me. At first I was shy. I wouldn't say anything, but then people would talk to me and I didn't want to be rude, so I would talk back. Now, I don't care who is talking to me. I like doing it!

Ok...there are days when I should be cleaning my house or doing laundry but it will always be there! I do clean but not as often as I used to! I really need to do it tomorrow so I am going to have to try and control myself until I'm done! I don't know if I can do it!

Does anyone know of a Facebook Annonymous (FA or FBA), lol? I may need it in the near future! I will try to blog more often than once every 2 week from now on, ok?

Taken

I have recently been able to preview the movie Taken, which comes out in theaters January 30th. It stars Liam Neeson as Bryan, a retired Government Spy.

His daughter,Kim, wants to go to Paris and he is completely against it. After a while, he softens and allows her to go. Once there, she and her friend were taken by the Albanian mafia/criminal organization. Given his knowledge from his line of work, he knows that he only has 96 hours to find Kim, before she could disappear forever. The rest of the movie he spends searching for her and coming up with some pretty interesting ways to get people to talk.

I am leaving out a ton of details on purpose, as to not spoil the movie for anyone that may want to see it. It does have lots of violence (wouldn't you kick butt if your child was taken), sexual content (but not in the regular couple kind of way), and drug references. I do not recommend taking children to this movie.

This movie held my attention the whole time. I thought it would be one of those movies that is good but I would want to fall asleep in 3/4 of the way through (as I sometimes do...especially if I'm watching a movie at home). It was not that way for me. I stared at the screen the whole time, not even eating any snacks or drinking anything. It was one of those movies that I didn't want to end instead of one to where I'm looking at the time, wishing it had been more than 5 or 10 minutes longer than the last time I checked.

Liam Neeson did an excellent job and I hope he wins an award for this movie. If you have a chance to go to the movies, skip the chick flick and go see this movie. In my opinion, it was GREAT!

What The???? Again!!!!!!

I love my husband dearly but, the man needs help! I'm always threatening him that I'm going to put him in a home (and not ours)! I'm always finding things in strange places! He put the Miracle Whip away in the cabinet next to the bread. I think it says refrigerate after opening somewhere on it. The other thing...is that he didn't even put the bread in the right spot! The bread goes in a different cabinet, right next to the loaf that hasn't been opened yet! So if he didn't know where it went, all he had to do is find the other loaf!

I have found lunch meat in the cabinet, peanut butter in the fridge, butter in the cabinet, and my pots and pans always have a new home after he puts the dishes away! Does he seriously have mental problems or does he not pay attention? I think it's both. He is bi-polar so he's on meds and he does take pills to help him sleep. He did eat sandwiches after he took his meds. So which is it? Sometimes he drives me crazy with all his forgetfulness.

I've tried everything I can think of to help him, short of leaving little post-it notes all around the house, which, by the way, he would ignore! Should I be frustrated, sympathetic, or just treat every day as a seek and find day? I give up! I've had to throw food away because he put it in the cabinet instead of the fridge, and it sat there all night and the majority of the next day.

This is not all he does! He always "forgets" to do things I ask him to do. His tools (big tool boxes), will sit in the house for weeks. I ask him to put them away and he says he'll do it, but he won't. He says "I forgot"! I'm starting to think he has Alzheimer's, mad cow, or it's just plain defiance! It's so frustrating. I will even hide them from him! Nothing works! OK, he will put things away once I get mad and blow up at him! When I tell him that he put the Miracle Whip in the cabinet, he'll probably laugh and say, 'At least I put it away'! Arrrrrrg!

In his defense, I will have to say that he doesn't ruin food everyday. It happens about once a month!
