A SHORT LOVE STORY
A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,..........
'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.'
'I have a better idea,' she replied 'Just for tonight,...... let's pretend that we're married.'
'Wow!.....That's a great idea!', he exclaimed.
'Good,' she replied. .............'Get your own darn blanket.'
After a moment of silence, ......................he farted.
The End

Happy Gobble Day
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving Day yesterday. It was really nice going outside and not having to freeze the minute you step out.
Well, Marisa and I headed over to a free Pilates class in the morning. Yeah....I didn't know it was going to be an hour long circuit Pilates class. We kind of looked at each other like 'Omigod'. It was too late to turn around, so we endured and huffed and puffed through the hour. I felt really good afterwards. We quickly headed over to Starbucks for some hot java. mmmmmm......
After trudging back home, Marisa left to enjoy her fam's festivities. Meanwhile I got ready to go over to John's parents house for early dinner at 2pm. There was, of course, tons of good food and good fun. We ate, played cards, saw wedding albums, and drank. :) Sadly, I had to work today and Jenny, Sarah and I were going to brave it in the early am today for some early shopping. Hence we left the Craig house around 10 or so (trust, that is early).
I totally and completely did not want to wake up this morning when my alarm rang at 5:15 am. Not even the crows were up that early. But I quickly shook off my sleepiness and was ready to head out, grab some coffee and buy some crap! ;)
I do have to say we found some good deals. Walmart had kids fleece hoodies for $4, men's wrangler jeans for $8 and don't even get me started at Old Navy....I dropped over $100 there....**sigh*** I love christmas. I get to shop!
So here I am at work...I should be working but my two co-workers and I decided today was a great day for 'food day' (as if Thanksgiving is not enough). Not only I am sitting on my butt typing this, but I am enjoying some chips, salsa, wheat thins, and dip...don't even get me started on the cupcake that I am eyeballing...
i'm out for now.

Twilight Movie Review
*What a Relief!*
I do have to say that the movie was not disappointing at all. I enjoyed the full two hours of the movie and highly recommend it to everyone. Now that I have that out of the way....
The beginning of the movie was a little scary. The first half hour or so was filled with bad acting and true laugh out loud cheesiness. I was really worried that the rest of the movie was going to be this way. I think I might have fainted just because I was holding my breath waiting for it to get better. The whole scene where Edward first 'smells' Bella is HILARIOUS! In the book the scene was very tense and for those of you who have read Midnight Sun, you know that it was a very dangerous and serious moment. So you can see why I was really really disappointed with that scene and how it was portrayed.
After the initial teen awkwardness of first meeting was over the movie picked up much better after that. I have to go on record to say that the best actress in the movie is the gal who plays Rosalie. She played a small part but she really did the best.
Kristin Stewart (Bella) played the part really well, but her acting skills leave much to be desired, I think. In certain parts, she either overacted or not acted enough. Physically she did a great job (i.e. falling, tripping, doe-eyed).
Rob P. (Edward) truly impressed me (other than the scene mentioned above). I thought his casting was the worst and actually turned out very good. He played the inner turmoil thing very well but he was part of the cheesiness in the beginning.
OKAY moving onto my favorite part....the kissing scene. Yeah......that was HOT so hot that John had to recreate the scene for me. It was hot all around. The whole slow kiss then the throwing on the bed...*shiver** But you guys have to experience that on your own! I do have to say that the theater was extremely quiet during that part, really quiet :)
All in all, the movie was definately worth the wait and the $8 for the ticket and the $20 I will be paying for the DVD. :)
Go watch it!

Down the hill, no end in sight
I'm sure you guys have all seen our wonderful U.S. markets go downhill and for quite some time. Initially everyone had thought that the market may have bottomed out a couple weeks ago and we were all just testing out the bottom. Unfortunately, as you saw yesterday that is totally not the case.
Sadly, I personally think the markets won't recover until next summer. If you guys have any questions or concerns feel free to contact your investment representative or give me a call and we can chat about it.
Due to the limitations on my license, I can't really write about it, but I want to let you guys know that I am always available for questions or concerns. :)
Hopefully you guys are in a position where you can ride this whole mess out.

**Swoon**
Tomorrow is the big day! Yes, I will finally be able to see Twilight on the big screen. I have seen some reviews already of the movie and they are not looking good. I'm sure I will love the movie because I love the book. I know that it won't be as good as the book, so I preparing myself for that kind of disappointment. Although I do have to say that Gone with the Wind and most of the Harry Potter movies live up to their book expectations. So maybe this one will rank up there. Who knows?
Expect a nice lenghty one sided conversation once I see the movie.
Here's hoping!

Friday - Joke O' the Week
A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners.
At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.
When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, Genesis 3:10."
Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.
Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid, for I was naked."

I can see my Breath!
So it has gotten really cold all of the sudden. Yesterday on my day off I decided to be a bit ambitious and rake my leaves. After an hour and half of non-stop raking, I can proudly show off three strong blisters! Yuck...I'm so delicate!
The day continued with sitting my blistered self down and watching Be Cool with John Travolta and America's Sweetheart with one of my favorite actors (and IL native) John Cusack. I pretty much sat the rest of the day and watched the rain come down.
I of course had to go into the Library to work. It was so SLOW that I finished reading a book! True dat! Luckily my boss was not there to reprimand my actions (or lack thereof).
As far as today goes....I woke up this morning and realized that raking not only creates blisters but it also creates a LOT of back/side pain. I tried to class it up at work today (with new pants and a shirt) and ended up looking like an old lady in dire need of walking shoes. I cannot walk straight with my side aching like crazy! NOTE TO SELF: Avoid raking at all costs.
I sat on my porch freezing my a** on my lunch today and enjoyed my leaf-free yard. I figured I damn well better live it up.

Honor our Heroes
As you all know, yesterday was Veteran's Day. I hope everyone had our war heroes in their thoughts and prayers, especially on their day.
I'm astounding by their bravery to get up each morning and defend our country. I cannot comprehend their courage, fears, and hopes that they must endur to fight for all our our rights as Americans.
I want my close and personal Vets (Christy, Lili, Mariana, & Ben) to know that I appreciate and respect what they have done for us.

Friday - Joke o' the Week
Short and sweet today.
THE BROKEN LAWN MOWER
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run,
my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care
of first, the truck, the car, playing golf - always something
more important to me. Finally she thought of a
clever way to make her point. When I arrived home
one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily
snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.
I watched silently for a short time and then went
into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when
I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said,
'When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well
sweep the driveway.'
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always
have a limp.

Friday - Joke O' the Week **Happy Halloween**
A cab driver picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don't want to offend you".
She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that. But first, you have to be single and you must be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"
"OK" the nun says. "Pull off to the side of the road, "maybe we will see what we can do."
The nun plants a whopper of a kiss on the cabbie! But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"
"Forgive me, but I've sinned. I lied. I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."
The nun says, "That's OK, my name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."

"I'm tired of trying to stay away from you, Bella"
Hawt! DeKalb library will be having a Teen Twilight Release Party Next week. Yeah I am so there. Granted it will be as a Library Volunteer, otherwise I'd be banned (since obviously I am most certainly NOT a teenager).
The movie comes out November 21st, which is already marked on my calendar. Anyone wanting to hitch a ride, let me know. I will be trying to get tickets in advanced, hopefully. I may just catch it Saturday morning, since I don't work the library that Sat.
Oh oh, maybe I can have a Twilight release party of my own. We can talk about the book and maybe then catch the movie afterwards. I know...I'm a dork.

Rock Bank- Say What???
I just heard the news that The Beatles have licensed a couple of their songs to Rock Band....yeah I am all over that! The edition won't come out until next year but that just rocked my world.
I will be planning a Rock Band Fest (maybe our 2nd annual) soon. Once I see the release date for that bad boy!

Let's get to the ROOT of the Problem!
So we shelled out the moolah and paid for a plumber. Turns out we would have never been able to fix this problem ourselves. They used an electrical rodder and put in at least 75 feet of rod through the sewer line and pulled out ROOTS! Stinkin' bushes is what I say. Apparently the roots were clogging up our sewer lines. We now have to dump some root killer in our lines at least every 4 months. Bummer-but whatever helps, I guess.
But at least that problem is behind us and we have the weekend to look forward too - problem free! Yipee!
I'm out.

CRAP! No really...
so are fargin sewer line decided to go on strike. Really sometimes owning an old home can be such a pain in the tookus.
We come home on Sunday night and I go down to start laundry, well John goes down the basement with me. We immediately smell something foul afoot! (heehee, had to throw that one in). He turns on the light and there is sewer water all over our floor but just on one side of the basement, thankfully.
Welp, the famous Craig temper got the better of him and my ears are still burning. So we had to do the unthinkable and head over to Barsema (where they have nice bathrooms) to do our business that night. Trust, John was NOT happy. Neither was I, but I can deal.
I got the good old steel tape from the City to try our luck unplugging it ourselves last night. Yeah...that didn't work. So I think we are going to have to pony up some hard earned dough and pay a plumber. We are going to try one more thing and pray that it works first. Hopefully it will work so I can bleach the hell out of our floor (not looking forward to that either).
Yuck!

Book Review - Queen of Babble Gets Hitched
AND you'll never guess with who!
So I loved this trilogy. It was spontaneous and fun. I found out I really did like Luke more, I don't know why, he's a bad boy. Maybe Chaz was a bit clingy? I don't know.
I definately recommend the series for a storyline out of the ordinary chick lit, I think. (hey that rhymes...sort of)
Series: 4 Stars ****
Book 3: 4 Stars ****

Book Review - Queen of Babble in the Big City
This book was like a getting a free pair of shoes at Nordstrom.
It was exciting and fun! Now being a romance reader I am a bit confused at this whole *two* male hotties vying for the lead role. I am going to read the third and last book in this little series. I am leaning a little towards Chaz as my hunk o'choice, just because of his laidback personality and attitude. But Luke does make my heart melt just a little bit more...could it be because he's part French??
I would say three and half stars.

Hopefully you guys all caught the SNL Weekend update last night. If not, you have to check out the opening skit with Will Ferrel as Prez Bush.
It was hilarious! And it gets the message across, they couldn't be any clearer (more clear?).

This is how the fairy should have been told.
Once upon a time in a land far away. A beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into hte princess' lap and said: "Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am. And then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in your castle with my mother. Then you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."
That night as the princess dined sumptuously on lightly sauteed frog legs, seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself: "I don't fecking think so."

Book Review - Queen of Babble
I read this book in one day...it was a pretty fun read.
The story follow a young lady just out of college (or so she thought) going on a summer trip to England with a boyfriend she met only once in the 6 months she's been dating him. It is a pretty hilarious ride for her and a nonstop read.
I thought at first that it would take me a while to get through it because of her (the charachter, Lizzie) aimless thoughts. They don't call her the Lizzie Broadcasting System for nothing. The constant babble of her thoughts are pretty distracting in the beginning of the book, but I quickly got used to it.
The main guy character is completely dreamy and perfect, which is probably why I liked the book so much.
I've never read a book by Meg Cabot and found her writing style very straightforward. I like that. She really makes you feel like you are inside the character's head instead of watching the story on a sideline.
I give it a 3 1/2 stars, only because it took me a couple chapters to get into it.

I remember when I was 11....
Weee!!! So I had my first book club meeting yesterday at the library. All the lovely gals that attended were all under 12. I was extremely excited about talking Twilight Talk with them so we immediately started on their favorite topic....Edward.
All I said was 'So why do you guys think Bella fell for Edward? What makes him special?'. And the overwhelming response was 'Edward is so dreamy!' 'I love Edward!' and the always favorite 'He's my hero'. I looked around the table at all the girls lit up faces and thought this is our future dating scene! Wow!!!
So I played the devil's advocate and tried to disolve the image that Edward (the hero) is not the elusive 'Perfect Man'. It was hard but I think I got some of them to think that-Yes Edward is a bit possessive and restrictive and a bit depressing! Score one for the jaded mind! Woot!
Anyhoo, we talked the whole hour on all things Twilight and I was astounded how an 11 year old girl's mind works. Geez, was I that gullible. All in all it was fun and I felt like I myself was 12 years old, especially when we started talking about Dreamy Jacob **sigh***. Go Team JACOB!!!

The Week After
We are back from our honeymoon!
The weather was beautiful, the flights were not delayed, and we didn't get sunburnt! Woohoo!!
All in all, it really was the perfect vacation. We went parasailing, kayaking, snorkeling, swimming, rode a banana boat (see picture down below). I don't have pictures as of yet, but I will soon. I will try that new Snapfish thing so everyone can see them all. There are too many to post!
It was so blasted hot down there that we essentially in a pool/beach for 85% of the time down there! Luckily for me there weren't any jellyfish or sharks nearby :) There were however, my to John's chagrin, geckos, lizards, iguana running rampart down there. Much to my chagrin, there were also moths the size of Timbuctu as well. Not cool.
The locals were very nice, as always ;) and the drinks were good too! I had never drank so many pina coladas and tequila sunrises in my entire life! Honestly.
I hope everyone had a good week. And now that things are back to normal-I will try to keep posting and entertaining you all!
I'm out...for now.

Friday - Joke O' the Week
Whether Democrat or Republican, I think you'll get a kick out of this!
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?' Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.' The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.'
The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.'
Happy Friday! See you guys in a week and half!
I'm out.

Debate
Did anyone else watch the debate last night? I watched the last 15 minutes of it, unfortunately. I thought that they had the debate on foreign policy last week? They were recapping a lot of what they had talked about in the last debate. Well at least the last 15 minutes of it.
If they had drifted with the questions, then Tom Brokaw did a bad job! It seemed towards the end Obama was a little unsure of his words because he kept stuttering. McCain seemed really strong on his proposed foreign policies (experience?).
Anyhoo, I did read on MSN that McCain proposed a bailout of the homeowners.....WTF? Is he really bribing the American people with $300 billion dollars in order to vote for him? Since I didn't see that part (which I would kill to see it now), I am not sure what Obama's reaction to this was.
All I can think of (for the reason for this bribe) is that McCain is losing voters completely and has decided to throw caution to the wind! So really what he is saying is that 'Vote for me and I can solve your housing problem?'. If that isn't a sorry excuse for a vote, I don't know what is.
Any thoughts on this?

One Foot Out the Door
I am counting down the days til Saturday! I can't wait to get on that plane and head down to beautiful, sunny (I hope) Mexico.
Now that the wedding is over, I feel much more relaxed, of course! I can't wait to post some more pictures. I think we should have some by the end of the week or so.
I'm sorry I'm a little sparse on the blog but I promise to have much more juicy stuff when I come back.

From the desk of Mrs. Craig
Dang it! I've gone and done it...I've gotten married! I will soon have pictures for your viewing pleasure. :) Yes I am at work today, but-I will be leaving for beautiful Mazatlan, Mexico on Saturday! WOOT!
The ceremony was a blur and the reception was so much fun. I hope everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves. There was much dancing and much drinking. I will leave you with some photos that Tere's husband Benny took for us after the ceremony.

One And a Half.....
Welp, still a bit sick. I am sitting here cheering our Joe Biden. Can I just say that Sarah Palin does not know what the word "Debate" means. Did she even refute any solid points and counterpoints that Joe made? No. Anyhoo, I will save that political post for another day.
So for those concerned citizens out there. My throat is no longer sore, I still no hearing on one ear but my sense of smell is coming back! :) I am still stuffy in the nose area. But have no fear I am ready to roll-I think. I will be posting a joke tonight because I will too busy tomorrow. Woot Woot!

Friday - Joke o' the Week
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.
He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.
George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
