You Had A Bad Day

JB sent this to me and he has been laughing since the first time he saw it. I too find it hilarious. I don't know if the onset of laughter comes from actually relating to the people and their frustration. Regardless, I think we can all say that we have been there and done that. Every time I watch this video I seem to live vicariously through the workers. They did what I wanted to while working but never had the courage to actually "kill" a computer.

I will never hear this song the same again. I used to listen with a thought of someone having a day of hurt feelings and emotions. Now when I hear this song, I will probably break out into laughter as I picture people throwing rages of frustration.

To activate the video, click on the triangle at the bottom of the video screen. Also be sure and turn on your sound to get the full effect. Hope you enjoy this bad day!

A*L*E*X

This past weekend, Alex was in another cheerleading competition. She and her squad did great as expected but didn't place 1st this time. Regardless, we are all still so proud of her.

As usual, I'm there with my camera taking all kind of phot ops.

Abbey had fun being herself...

She needs no entertainment as she tends to be the entertainment.

I look forward to cheering on my cheerleader in the future...until then a few more photo ops from the day.

Weathering the Storm

As most of you experienced last Thursday, we had some strong storms to come through sending off tornado sirens throughout the day. Cousin Abbey was visiting while her mom was working. As the sirens started we headed to the hall bathroom, dog and all. We packed in a comforter and several pillows. Even the animals in the form of crackers were safe, that is, until they were eaten by one of tub dwellers.

I walked back and forth from the bathroom to the den to watch the weather report on TV. I happened to look outside and I kid you not, I saw a squirrel float by trying his best to tread water. I felt so sorry for him and would had loved nothing more than to save his little struggling body. I think he eventually found safe ground down the way.

As you can see, there was enough water for Noah's ark and definitely enough for a squirrel to drown. And after the rain finally stopped there was even enough for 2 boys to splash in the rubber boots that Meme and Pappaw gave them for Christmas.

The boys were enjoying what boys do best...getting dirty in puddles. They were covered in wet and mud. The fun ended when sweet, little CB fell in the water. As upset as the fall was, he was even more upset to have to leave this boy's dream of a playground.

Until next time, HB

My Teeny Moppers

Santa brought the boys some mops so I put them to good use this past week. The boys had fun mopping like mamma, while I enjoyed watching someone else do my "dirty work". However, our mopping was cut short when both boys ended up on "booties" from the slick floor. I figured I better not push it...I don't have enough insurance to cover workman's comp and I didn't want to push the Child Labor Laws too much.

They make even a janitor look cute.

Until next time, "today teeny moppers, tomorrow...teeny boppers", HB

Not Much to say these Days...

We haven't been doing much these days to blog about. My monogramming is keeping busy enough. Thought I would post a few pics from playing outside yesterday. It was too pretty to stay inside so we ventured out to soak in a little cool air and sunshine.

Everything I Need to Know about Life...

... I learned from Noah's Ark

(1) Don't miss the boat.

(2) Remember that we are all in the same boat.

(3) Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

(4) Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

(5) Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

(6) Build your future on high ground.

(7) For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

(11) Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

(12) When you're stressed, float a while.

(13) Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

(14) No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

Just a side note...Y'all notice that wood-pecker? I swear it's the same one that has pecked on my house.

Until next time, staying afloat, HB

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never Reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY :
Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens

I received this through an email. Hope you enjoyed it.

Until next time, watch out for the chickens, HB
