Kinda weird

just being Steve out here in the innertubes

Update: It's been a year and a month

Let's take a look at that Honey-do list, shall we? (Yes, we shall.) chosen not to leave me with no gas in the car every time I turn key after him. we no longer have a car. He crashed one and blew up the other. No issues. fixed the brakes on the Kia before they actually hit the floor since they'd been grinding for the previous 4 months. again, no car. put the missing piece on my car when I started complaining that the car was idling rough and tended to stall at red lights 4 months ago. I did not know a piece had been removed that caused this problem but he did. although...I have issues with my bike that he hasn't taken care of yet... tightened the power steering belt in my car when he put said piece on, as it is squealing and I tend to lose the power steering at odd times, like in the middle of turning and other inconsequential things like that. Fixed the headlight that refuses to pop up now. fixed the laundry room door that has been off it's hinge for a year. still b...

I guess she thinks if she sits on the table I'll feed her!

The Machine Was Not Incorrect

I spent 90 bucks so a machine can call me unbalanced and out of shape? Really? But alas much like the Terminator the machine was right! So I did 2 runs around WII island tonight, tried to walk the tight rope, did the hula hoop, and tried some stretching exercises. And all that took 15 minutes and I'm tired! lol MII thinks I may have to start a WII FIT blog to shame myself into keeping up with teh electronic characters on my teevee. Or not. But shame is always one of teh greatest motivators right?

But according to this test.... Your result for The Elemental Beauty Test ... Natural Beauty 42% Earth, 25% Air, 8% Water, and 25% Fire! Natural Beauty You scored 42% Earth! Outstanding! The Earth element is a natural beauty. They tend to keep more toward greens, blacks, and natural colors for their wardrobe and their make-up, if they wear it to begin with. They tend to be grounded and not caught up in the latest trends. They are more interested in doing what feels right for them and being in touch with what is around them. For inner beauty earth elements look for stability and commitment. They look after others and their family. They are realistic and tactile, meaning they aren't afraid to touch and be touched. But they can also be quite stubborn and unmoving when their mind is made up. Zodiac signs for earth are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. You also scored: 8% Water: Water is the etheral beauty. They like things that drape and shimmer. The love vintage and heirlooms; thi...

Bob's New Meme

Image
Bob has discovered a new meme here are the rules: 1. Grab the nearest book - no matter what it is. Textbook, novel, pop-up book, building code study guide, whatever. 2. Turn to page 25. 3. Read the 10th word on that page, or the following if that one is blank. 4. Type that word into Google Image search. 5. Post the third image. 6. Tag 4 people and tell them. 7. Link back to this post. (the image is kind of small it says "No one can tell if you're a dog on the internet" My word was "You're" from a pretty good graphic novel called Silverfish. Consider yourself tagged if you found this post

NO NO NO NO NO

I just did not get an email from AARP! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lessons in Bad Parenting: Lesson 7

The Continuing Saga of Raising Children of the Corn The Parent/Teacher conference went okay. The Boy is lazy and stubborn. We've all agreed on that. He can do the work, he just won't. /mumbles/...the bloody little git... If the reinforcement of the importance of education and the modeling that I do myself doesn't spark the fire in him, I have no idea what will. We're going for bribery.

I Know I am Boring and in a Bad Mood but....

does that mean my non cat doesn't even want to hang around? Didn't mean to bore you non cat (but you're welcome back anytime)

How Do I...

How do I get a voice recording when I don't have a microphone anymore? Because seriously, y'all have to hear this dog snoring to believe it's coming from a itty-bitty, 19# cocker spaniel.

I Know You Are Tired Of Hearing It....

Just got off the phone with Dad and am feeling good realizing how lucky I am to such a cool Father. Yeah the conversation gets circuitous some times but I'm lucky to have a parent that is so good to me.

The Only Thing Worse Than Fox News At Night?

Fox News during teh day! It's like watching a train wreck. I can't turn away. These people are certifiable. But I'm sure when Mitch McConnell is on in 20 minutes he'll bring an air of dignity to the broadcast!
