eclipse-ivity

ahhhh kristen stewart, where do i begin? first of all, i have to say i am a huge fan of your acting. the way you can go from moping, to whiny, to ummm crying, to ...to...throwing temper tantrums is so amazing to me. it just shows your wide array of your acting capabilities. and the fact that you are with robert pattinson oh, could anymore of my wishes come true? two mopey's together! it just doesn't get any better than that. who says you need a personality to be interesting, right? YOU ARE MY MOST FAVORTIST ACTRESS EVER! ps bella is my least favorite character ever. hmmm, you are just like her...now how does that work? LOVES TO ALL YOU KRISTEN STEWART FANS!!

eclipse-o-rama

since it is Eclipse freak week, i have just decided to go with it. this week i will be discussing my feelings on the whole twilight franchise. first off, why are the movies referred to as "the twilight series"? all i know, is that the first book was called twilight. were the other books referred to in this way? is it because people don't know what New Moon and Eclipse are referring to? and if they don't know what they are referring to, what planet are they from? and if there is ANYONE OUT THERE who says, "what is twilight? i have no idea what you are talking about?" THEY ARE LYING THEIR SKINNY PANTS OFF! my husband has been so kind as to offer me a girls night out to see this movie on Friday night. I KID, I KID! there is no way in hell i could get him to sit through one of these movies...unless it was my birthday (and he would be groaning the time, really you should hear him when the trailers come on before the movies we go see). feel free to leave comments about what you think about this. on the roster for tomorrow is "KRISTEN STEWART, I TOTALLY LOVE HER AND THINK SHE IS THE GREATEST EVER. NOT WHINY AT ALL."

little treasures

you know that with summertime and kids comes a little boredom. but, out of that boredom, your kids can actually come up with something other than the wii or watching tv. my kids came up with the "locate the treasure by figuring out the clues i have written for you" game. i found two of their clues on the floor tonight and they were so funny, i just had to share...i will write out for you what they say on them.

"so you have faund it well you'll haf to look whare you do not like to go in the gust room"

i am assuming this one was meant for brenton because he doesn't like going in the basement where the gust (guest) room is."now you haft to find the Door of Death no one has ever found it so good luck"

we have a door of death? where??
TGIF!

we are all still loved

here it is. are you ready for it? i am going there. just so you know.

we heard a talk in church on Father's Day about how dad's are put down in the media and life. dad's are always portrayed as the doofus of the family. ok, i can respect that. i love my dad. he is a great dad. my husband, i love him. he is a great dad. but, come on, are they not the doofus? i will say it. my dad is a doofus. i love him, but he is kinda a doofus. it's like the joke that Bill Cosby does, where he is stuck with the kids at the store and is saying, "WHERE IS YOUR MOTHER?". isn't that always the question? WHERE IS YOUR MOTHER? well this got me to thinking...men get put down this way, so which way do women get put down? i came up with it later that night. and it had nothing to do with the fact that i was "going through the joke right at that moment". well maybe it did. women always get teased when IT IS THAT TIME OF THE MONTH, or just before that time PMS! come on guys, you know you all say it to your girls. "IS IT THAT TIME OF THE MONTH?". my husband now just says "marci what day are you on?". yep, he knows what days marci goes PMS KOOKOO! some of us can get a little scary or maybe alot scary.

so there you have it. men, you are gonna get teased for being a doofus cause women get teased for having PMS. CAN I GET AN AMEN!

adding some color to life

forget it

sorry fellow readers (and aliens who can also read this), there is no wit about me today. well, if i am being honest, i am really just being lazy. i need to get to bed so i can wake up early tomorrow morning. i have to exercise before i go out (there is that mental thingy again) and meet my friends downtown with the kids (minus the one at cub country). so as for my witty blog, i will maybe write it tomorrow and save it for thursday. it has to do with men and women, it is very controversial. maybe i should just keep my mouth shut. but then you wouldn't have someone to laugh at with all the nonsense that comes from this blog. that is what it is for, right? NONSENSE!

a mind from another world

first, a conversation with Kylee from the other night

kylee: mom, take off your glasses.
me: why?
kylee: i want to see how blind you are without them.
me: oookaaay (take off glasses)
kylee: can you see me now?
me: yes, you are just really really blurry.
kylee: where am i?
me: you are standing right in front of my bed.
(she then ducks down below the bed) kylee: can you see me now?
(i start cracking up) me: oh kylee, i wish i had your mind to think with sometimes. life would be so interesting. (and just when i thought she couldn't get any funnier, she comes up with this)
kylee: (angrily) i do not use my MIND to THINK! have you ever tried to cry with just one eye?
seriously, i have the most interesting child EVER!


and with all the JOY AND HAPPINESS THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER ME THIS HAS RETURNED!

thank you YOU TUBE

FINALLY, no thanks to the blogger upload video dealio, here are some video's of our 7 year old gymnastics queen!


the BACK HANDSPRING

her FLOOR EXERCISE

the BALANCING BEAM EXERCISE

her BAR ROUTINE. just a little bragging note...she was the only one to get her legs up to the V for her dismount off the bars. SO PROUD! i now have a child that instead of walking now does round offs, cartwheels, and back walkovers.

the (edit) video's wouldn't upload

will try again tomorrow...

some are plays and some are musicals

so so so funny! a few of my fav moments goes as follows 1. when he came out as Annie 2. anytime he was with Kristen 3. when he was trying to sing as spider man. LOVED IT!

who knew she was this beautiful AND could sing? REALLY, WHO KNEW?

1. i honestly do like will smith 2. i honestly do NOT like jada 3. why were they there?

she is beautiful and reminded me that i needed to get my haircut and colored...WHICH I DID!

seriously HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS WOMEN?

one of my favorite moments

THE MOST AWKWARD PRESENTERS PUT TOGETHER...EVER! YES? NO? ME THINKS SO!

and here is a list of what i would love to see...if i lived in New York...and had money...and could go to such things.

1. the addams family

2. la cage aux folles

3. come fly away

4. lend me tenor

5. promises promises

6. red

maybe i can talk Walt into one of these while we are in New York...

sing a song

i was up watching the Tony's (as i am sure all of you were too). Honestly if i had been raised by just my dad, i would have no love and understanding for Broadway. mother, you have given that to me, and i plan to pass it on to my children. cause the husband came in and lasted for a whole 2 minutes, and that was during the Green Day part mmmkay. i have my notes and plan to take more time to discuss what i felt along with the pictures. one question...did everyone else go to bed with the song "rain on my parade" in their head too?

jury countdown, day 5

i know that there really is no jury countdown anymore but, i had to finish out the week with it. brenton's therapy session went well, and i am hoping it is only up from here. we have a ways to go but, he will get there.

some really random thoughts that are going through my mind today. if you know any answers or thoughts of your own to these, please let me know.

first, i just watched no country for old men. the movie ended. i said WHAT?! out loud. to myself. running on my treadmill. seriously the movie just stops. like someone is reading you a story and decides to stop at some random point and just says to you "THE END". seriously, WHAT?

second, i read that they are doing two films with Marilyn Monroe parts in them. who does Hollywood cast? Michelle Williams for one and Naomi Watts for another. WHAT? how did Scarlett Johanssen not come to mind?! hmmmm stick thin vs curvy boobalicious body? TOUGH THING TO FIGURE OUT WHO TO PLAY MARILYN MONROE.

and last, i am going to see the movie the A-Team tonight. AND NO it isn't because i have a crush on Bradley Cooper. AND NO it isn't because i think Sharlto Copley was AWESOME in District 9. AND NO it isn't because i just really really like Liam Neeson. it is because i totally remember the A-Team from when i was a kid. really i remember it...Mr. T was in that show.

jury countdown, day 4

ok so they said that they have no more trials scheduled for the week but. BUT. if you didn't get called this time you could get called anytime for the month June. my head hurts. Brenton's appt is today and i hope that it all goes well. keep my boy in your heart for me. he's not dying or anything he just has anxiety that has gotten out of control and needs to be reeled back in. my head hurts. tessa dumped a whole bottle of those sugar sprinkle balls (why is it that whenever you add the word balls to the end of something...it sounds bad. get your head out of the gutter marci! hee hee) that you put on cake to decorate it all over the whole kitchen floor. the dog had a good day. tessa got put in time out (all the while yelling NO at me). my head hurts.

in the meantime, i saw this video and all i can say is YOWZA! my kids didn't believe it. they were all, "there is no way you can do that and hold your breath that long." and i am all, "oh yeah, it is on video. on the internet. for the whole world to see. it is TOTALLY REAL AND TOTALLY AWESOME." ENJOY

jury countdown, day 3

guess who? (PS no jury duty today)

jury countdown, day 2

well, my number isn't up YET. BUT, it is getting closer and i get this sinking feeling that it is going to be THURSDAY! i guess i will just have to wait and see what they say on the phone wednesday night and if it is my number, they will have to deal with some screeching from me.
quick story: on memorial day we were hanging out with family in my aunt's backyard and we got to talking about scary movies, books, tv shows, and whatever else is creepy. now my mom is known for watching her ghosty tv shows and freaking herself out over them so when somebody brought up some demon name, like zezzoozozzoz (i can't even remember, i just know that there was a z in there somewhere). my mom was all, "i heard about that demon." since i didn't quite catch the name i turned to my mom and asked her ,"what's the name?" and she then flipped out saying, "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY IT'S NAME, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID IT'S NAME." to which my brother and i promptly said, "MOTHER where did you get this information?" and honestly we were both expecting her to say something like, "well the so and so prophet said so and so." but instead we got this...I HEARD ABOUT IT ON THE PARANORMAL BLAH BLAH BLAH SHOW! A PARANORMAL SHOW PEOPLE...YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

jury countdown, day 1

first off, let me just say, i am loving the heat. you will not hear me complaining about having to turn on the a/c ever. i don't even mind the hot rainstorms. in fact, my kids ran outside in the one that we had last night with their cousins. i think the two year old had the most fun, she was jumping around in the puddles.

secondly, i have gotten out of jury duty for monday! BAM! now i have to call again tonight to see if my number is up. i told my employer that i didn't have to go in on Monday and she just said, "we go to gwamma's". and i'm all, "um, you are going to HAVE TO GO TO GWAMMA'S IF I DO GET CALLED TO JURY DUTY." she just stared back at me like I AM THE CRAZY ONE?!

the only day that i am really really really hoping i don't get called on is thursday. brenton has a therapy appointment that day, and he really needs to go. my poor boy has got some issues that he needs to work out ASAP. in fact if i do get called that day, then the jury clerk is getting a phone call from me saying "sorry, my son comes before you". which reminds me, mom, nic, or mo can you watch the other two that afternoon please? LOVE YA!

my duty

i have received a summons for jury duty.

i gave them my reasons as to why i would make a horrible selection, what with my dad being incarcerated and all. it didn't take. i still got the summons.

i have now read the instructions that i should follow CAREFULLY.

1. i have to call tonight after 5 to get my instructions for next week. my summons is for 6-7 to 6-11.
OK I WILL ADHERE TO THAT

2. phone line may be busy, keep calling.
WE'LL SEE WHAT I AM IN THE MOOD TO DO

3. if you have a disability or an emergency call the clerk.
DOES MENTAL DISABILITY COUNT AND WHAT IF I AM SUPER SICK THAT WHOLE WEEK?

4. tell your employer you have been called to jury service.
I TOLD THE TWO YEAR OLD. SHE JUST STARED BACK AT ME.

5. do not bring children.
IF I AM THEIR CHILDCARE THEN WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO???

6. do not bring any guns, knives, or weapons.
DAMN, THERE GOES MY CHANCE TO SHOW OFF MY NEW HUNTING KNIFE.

7. dress in business attire. do not wear casual clothes.
MY BUSINESS ATTIRE IS CASUAL CLOTHES. REALLY, JUST ASK MY EMPLOYER.

8. expect to wait.
NO YOU EXPECT TO WAIT! OK FINE, OH HUSBAND I NEED THAT IPAD NOW!

all i can think is, THEY ARE CRAZY FOR WANTING A CRAZY PERSON TO SERVE JURY DUTY. ESPECIALLY ONE WHO IS AS OUTSPOKEN AS I AM TO PEOPLE WHO TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

it was a GLEEmiracle

i don't know how many times my kids and i have watched this? is that good or bad? they also make me play the song for them from my ipod too. i think we have addictive personalities in this here family. while brenton was watching it, he turns to me and says, "hey mom, he is a nerd who can sing and dance? HE IS AWESOME!" guess who wants to take hip hop/break dance lessons this summer?

2ND PLACE WINNAHS!

BASEBALL SEASON IS OVER!

personal day

i am taking a personal day today.

life is a little different right now.
