Friday - Joke O' the Week

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.
