No, not the semi-real meat from a can. (I’ve never eaten it so I don’t know how real it is by the way, the whole idea of meat from a can disgusts me. Sort of like trying to eat dog food.) I’m talking about the ridiculous amounts of spam you get in your email box. Recently I’ve been getting comments on this blog from spamming companies. But that’s the nice thing about being moderator of your own blog. You can allow or delete unwanted comments a the touch of a button. So, that being said, if you are a legitimate person with something to say, I will allow your blog comment (it might take a day since I have to check my email to know it is there, but it will be posted.) If you are some company trying to sell me those little blue pills, or enhancements for body parts I don’t even have, you will be trashed. Thanks all!

I love the Wii
Posted by admin - Tuesday, October 28th, 2008
Not because I like to play it, because I don’t ever get on the thing, but because I homeschool. I can send my children to do their PE by having them do some games in the Wii Fit for Kids. My 9 year old has been “jumping rope” for the last half hour, trying to beat his older brother’s score. It’s great. I just wish they had music lessons on Wii, although I’ve heard about Wii Music, I just don’t know anything about it. Hmmm….time for some research.

I think I’ve posted about fleeting time before, but geez, that felt like a year ago. Almost Halloween, my 4th Anniversary. Can’t forget the date, but very often forget what year we are on. Except my hubby is one of those guys that can’t remember ANY date to save his life. What day is Christmas on? How could you not know what day Christmas is? I think he fakes it so that if he ever does forget my birthday, he has a ready made excuse. You know how I am with dates! He’s a good guy though. A true genius, but you know how some geniuses are with, you know, everyday stuff. He’s one of the most commonsense lacking geniuses I know. And I know a few. But that used to be me. I’m far from genius, but higher than average. Lots of book smarts. I can rattle off any number of facts about things that interest me, but growing up was a pain because I had absolutely no common sense. I was very naive, and I stayed with my nose firmly planted in the middle of a book for all of my grade, middle and high school career. To the point that I had no boyfriends, although I had some crushes I was too scared to follow through. There was one boy I remember that I really liked. He was cute, the typical blond hair, blue eyes. I was absolutely terrified of him though. I didn’t know how to act around him, so I watched other people and saw that many of the girls put on these personas when they were around guys. Like the dumb blond persona, the foxy red-head persona, etc. So, I tried to dumb myself down with a dumb blond personality even though I’m a natural born red-head. It backfired. Never tried that again. So come graduation, it took all the courage I had to kiss him on graduation night. Can you believe that! I sang in front of hundreds of people at my own graduation. Graduated 6th in a class of 115, but the biggest thing was that one kiss. It was a turning point for me. I was ruler of my own life now. I could do what I wanted. So thanks, high school crush, wherever you are.

It’s close enough! I tried to make this Halloween word cloud, I found the text from a Halloween Kid’s songs page and entered it into the word cloud and it made this interesting little picture. I thought I’d post it for you. Halloween is close enough, they have the costumes and the candy in the stores mid August, so why not! If you would like to make your own word cloud, just go to Wordle. It’s kinda fun and the best thing, it’s free!

My kids are CRAZY!!!!!!! My oldest wants me to punish his brother for pulling his hair when he failed to tell me that he was pulling his brother’s lips! I swear if they weren’t my children, I would go dump them on the curb. Just try to keep a straight face when you are yelling at him for pulling his brother’s lips. Took everything I had not to laugh. Now I laugh and both of them are looking at me like I’m crazy.
And by the way, did anyone see that new Star Wars cartoon? I flat out refuse. I really loved the old Star Wars. Mostly because of Harrison Ford’s character Han Solo. His wit, his sarcasm, his refusal to follow the rules. It just seemed to me that they were trying to put a new Han Solo character into the cartoon in the form of a female. Ahsoka Tano. She’s like a BRAT character. It’s almost like they put her in to attract the teenage ‘whatever’ generation. I would be all over that cartoon if not for that one particular character. Star Wars is better than that. They’ve sold out to the highest bidder.
