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!"

The Dress
Okay guys I found a suitable picture from theh 80's movie Weird Science. If any of you recall this dress, it kicks butt. So..my dress is like this but it is red and it is V-neck. I can't wait to see all of your outfits!

Bachelorette Countdown
I get a voicemail from my friend Mary, it went a little something like this:
'Wooo, countdown begins! I'm so excited! A couple more day! (more screaming)'
And I think to myself, 'Aww she is counting down to the wedding. How thoughtful.' But in her next breath, she screams-'BACHELORETTE PARTY here we come!' and then clicks off.
Yeah my thoughts exactly MerBer.

Friday - Joke of the Week
One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, 'Perhaps
we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a few
inches off of your butt!'
His wife was not amused and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment
go unrewarded.
The next morning the husband took a pair of underwear out of his drawer.. 'What
the hell is this?' he said to himself, as a little dust cloud appeared when he
shook them out.
'April,' he hollered into the bathroom, 'Why d id you put talcum powder in my
underwear?'
She replied, 'It's not talcum powder.. It's 'Miracle Grow.'

Market Crazi-ness!
Whoa Boy,
what is going on with all this market craziness?? The market is down another 200 points today and this is really driving me up the wall. I really think sometimes that for all that people say they are a 'savvy investor' they are lying to themselves. Honestly why are people panicking? They are adding fuel to the fire. Yes, so the government bailed out Fannie, Ginnie and AIG (thank GAWD). Yes Merrill was bought by BOFA, yes Lehman was sectioned off by Barclays. I get it. The big dogs are in the hole. BUT during tough times like this, this process is called 'weeding'. The market truly is weeding out the weakest players in our economy.
I know these companies are huge and have been in business for decades. But really? The mighty have to fall to make wave for true honest businesses. People are watching the news too much. I had a client call the other day and use the words 'The Depression', I was like 'Oh no he didn't'. Look at the basic numbers. In 1929, on Black Monday and Tuesday the market fell over 23%! 23%! And we are panicking because the market fell 4%? Come on. Relax.
Relax and know that Barack Obama will rule and all will be well in the land of America! ;)

CRAZY FEVER
Okay Seriously this is good stuff. If you are way into Paranormal Mystery Romance then this is the series for you. Yesterday I broke my budget rule and ended up buying the third book in Karen Marie Moning's Fae series (it came out yesterday). I decided to reread the first book and start all over so I can thoroughly enjoy the newest book.
The series is really about a gal named Mac, who goes to Ireland in search for her sister's killer. While there she finds out that she is a sidhe-seer, in other words, someone who can see the fae. She becomes embroiled in a plot where the bad fae want to start taking over the human world. She meets this handsome dangerous man named Jericho Barrons (sexy name btw) and between the two of the them they kick butt. But of course, there is like a love hate relationship between the two characters. It is good, trust me.
So it comes highly recommended that you read this book and darn better enjoy it!

FRIDAY - Joke o' the Week
Church Humor
After three weeks in the Garden of Eden, God came to visit Eve. 'So, how
is everything going?' inquired God. 'It is all so beautiful, God,' she
replied. 'The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the
sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one problem. It's
these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out
and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on
branches and snagging them on bushes. They're a real pain,' reported
Eve. And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her
body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc...she felt that
having only two breasts might leave her body more 'symmetrically
balanced'. 'That's a fair point,' replied God, 'But it was my first
shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured
that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will
fix it up right away.' And God reached down, removed the middle breast
and tossed it into the bushes. Three weeks passed and God once again
visited Eve in the Garden of Eden. 'Well, Eve, how is my favorite
creation?' 'Just fantastic,' she replied, 'But for one oversight. You
see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has
her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone.' God
thought for a moment and said, 'You know, Eve, you are right. How could
I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create
a man from a part of you.. Let's see...where did I put the useless
boob?'
Now doesn't THAT make more sense than that story about the rib?

Wedding Etiquette
Okay what do you do if a distant relative that is invited to your wedding, decides to invite her other grown children and their whole families?
Here's the story. I sent an invite to a close family friend a did put on the invite "The Smith Family" and sent it to their home address. They have two children living at home with them, so I naturally assumed that those two children are invited. Therefore, when I get the RSVP, after the cutoff date, mind you, she puts down that they are coming and there will be 8 (yes 8) in their party. I was like 'Whoa Nelly'. John was like WTF??? It turns out that the Smith's assumed that we naturally meant their whole friggin family.
If I had wanted to include her other son(s) and their families, I would have sent them an invite to their home yes?
Thoughts?
I delicately told her that since I didn't have her RSVP, but had verbally told me she was coming, I had put her down for 4 as a yes. I apologized for the confusion and hoped that she would understand.
What would you have done?

Book Sale
Just a little blurb that the DeKalb Public Library will be having their annual book sale this weekend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with Sunday being the big $1 a bag sale. Come on by and say Hi! I will be there, trust.
EBay Experience
Welp, I venture into Ebay selling territory. I have decided to sell all my Stampin Up! stuff...it's sad, I know. I am selling my ink pad set on Ebay and I hope that goes well. I have never sold anything on Ebay in my life! Hopefully I can sell all the stuff before the wedding :) You know to pay off my rising mound of debt! Hehehe.
Anyhoo, so I had an eventful weekend. Worked all day on Saturday at the Library. Thankfully it was pretty busy and the time flew by. It was a good day to bring kiddies to get books. Afterwards, I went to my future in-law's home for a surprise birthday party for John's dad. That was fun, there was a lot of food and the afternoon was nice. Unfortunately, I did not get any trampoline time! BOO!!!!
Sunday we putzed around all day. We were extremely tired, but I managed to finish my candleholders for the wedding centerpieces. THAT is a relief.
All in all a pretty good weekend.
BIG shout of Happy Birthday to Jeff!

FRIDAY Joke of the Week
One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a
classroom. The teacher was going to explain
evolution to the children. The teacher asked
a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree
outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God up there?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there Possibly he just
doesn't exist.
A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the
boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:
Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she possibly may not even have one!

Hole? Yes, we're trying to dig out of it.
So...last night our lovely Refridigerator, who I will lovingly call it 'Useless Piece of S**t", decided to stop working. We were thisclose to going to the grocery store earlier to do our shopping. Luckily for us (the only silver lining) we were too lazy to go out in the rain.
I was happily making dinner and about to make some delicious biscuits when I went into the fridge to take out our new gallon of milk. John and I are chatting about our day when all the sudden *plop* came out the milk. 'Plop I said?', why was the milk going plop? I did something noone in their right mind should ever do...I smelled it. YUCK! I immediately gagged and shoved it into John's nose for him to smell and take (he's even worse about those kind of things than I am). So we wondered why this brand new milk had gone bad. We open our 'UPofS' and realize it wasn't cool!
After much cussing and screaming, we loaded what stuff we could say and hauled our cookies to the bank to use their fridge for the night. Blah! I will be calling a repair man today-I hate calling them!

Book Review - Accidental Werewolf
I just finished reading this book from Dakota Cassidy.
Two Stars
The story was hilarious. The main gal gets accidentally bitten by a werewolf, who happens to be a hot hunk of man. The reason why it gets two stars is because the story seemed a bit forced at times. It felt like the author was trying to write a chick lit book and trying to hard. Her main gal character seemed like she was trying to remind us that she was an independant girl who kicked butt. If you read the book, you'll know what I mean. It seemed like she picked one personality trait for her characters and prominently displayed them. Which made them seem two dimensional. Overall there were some times that I laughed out loud, but more times than not I felt like it was a cheesy story.

Labor Day Weekend
Hi all,
what a three day weekend! Of course it was not long enough, IMHO.
Friday night, we went out to Rockford's Waterfront festival with our friends Ben & Kim. It was a perfect night to be out walking. Saw Mongtomery Gentry.....yeah, Kim was desperate to see them (him?). They were okay, we arrived just in time to hear their last two encores. We were also pre-celebrating Ben's birthday (which is TODAY), so JOhn and him proceeded to imbibe :)
Saturday was my bridal shower from the library. I am lucky to have so many friends! The party was great, there was tons of food and Darcy did a great job. Afterwards, we stayed up to watch Into the Blue with Paul Walker. Surprisingly it was a good movie. (not a Paul Walker fan but John is a Jessica Alba fan-big surprise)
Sunday was a very fun and relaxing day. It was John's dad's 60th birthday so we went up to their home for a birthday cookout. Can I just say that for a 60 year old man, he kicks butt when it comes to playing volleyball! He ran me over a couple of times and I actually found out how grass tastes ;) Just like salad. I found out a couple things from my future in-laws that I probably didn't need to see. YOU know who you are, but it was great.
Monday was a big shopping day! I went shopping with my mom and second mom (my aunt). We went all over! And I must tell you guys abou my deal of the day. I bought a pair of red strappy COLE HAAN shoes for.....$30 at Marshalls! For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about. Cole Haan retails for roughtly $130-$200 depending on the shoe-yea. Woot woot! Holla!
Okay enough ramblin'. I would love to hear about your Labor Day weekend!
