guestbook

theres no guestbook.
so i'm making one.
please sign it.
thanks.
(this is the guestbook, just go to the comments section below and pretend)

things that make you go hmmmmm.....

i do.
i was at work this morning, working, and for some reason this popped into my head:
"there's no black people on the andy griffith show."
now, i'm not trying to be funny. honest. i even asked a couple of my coworkers, a white girl and a black girl. they knew.

its FRIDAY

this means alot to most people...the fact that its friday. for most people its their last day of work for the week. for me, its my first.
3rd shift fridays, saturdays, and sundays. been doing this for 4 years now. but it gives that illusion of being a stay at home mom. i'm there for the kids during the week. sure, i miss doing things on the weekends, but my boss is really cool if i want to take a weekend off.
it frees up my week for important things...like:
1. doing absolutely nothing
2. bitch duties
3. drinking during the day
4. crocheting in peace
5. reading in peace
6. more drinking
7. shopping at wal-mart while all you people are at work
8. preparing a nice dinner for the loved ones (yeah, right)
9. watching all the tv i want
10. etc.

ok. read this, had to share

Man Buys Smoker, Finds Human Leg Inside


MAIDEN, N.C. (AP) -- A man who bought a smoker Tuesday at an auction of abandoned items might have thought twice had he looked inside first.
Maiden police said the man opened up the smoker and saw what he thought was a piece of driftwood wrapped in paper. When he unwrapped it, he found a human leg, cut off 2 to 3 inches above the knee.
The smoker had been sold at an auction of items left behind at a storage facility, so investigators contacted the mother and son who had rented the space where the smoker was found.
The mother, Peg Steele, explained her son had his leg amputated after a plane crash and kept the leg following the surgery "for religious reasons" she doesn't know much about.
"The rest of the family was very much against it," Steele said.
Steele said her son, John Wood, plans to drive to Maiden, about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte, to reclaim his amputated leg, police said.

dr appt

well my dr appt is on monday oct 1st. it cant get here quick enough.
i stopped taking the B-1, green tea extract and selenium over this past weekend. it was making me feel better, but i dont want to go to the doctor feeling good. theres a reason i hurt and i need for it to get fixed.
wondering if i can make it thru the weekend like this. within 3 days of not taking the vitamins the pain came back.
now i'm sitting here trying not to take it out on my kids and not cry and wonder if this will ever go away. 'cause if i go to this dr and he shoos me off like the last one did, then i just dont know.
ok then.

sticks and bricks and dicks and chicks

yeah, the title means nothing and is irrelevant to this. just bored. bored i say!!!
i can only do so much laundry, sweep or mop.
so i'm watching CMT. yup, country music television.
sometimes its good tv.
reminds you of all the romance that life is. not all the romance in life. but that life itself is a romance. every romance has its ups and downs. its heartbreak. its soul lifting happiness. that's life.
one can never go back and say 'i wish'. everything you do is a stepping stone to the next and to go back and eliminate one would make it all crumble.

take what you have and run with it, but don't forget to stop and smell the roses. kind of contradicting. but so true.

blah blah blah

jokes

what did one ghost say to the other ghost?
do you believe in people?

what did the stamp say to the envelope?

what city has no people?
electricity!

what do little people travel in?
a mini-van!


yeah, corny, i know. but its my style. my daughter told me the last one...cracked me up!

Chris Kuzneski

omg

its going to be one of those days. you know the kind. the predestined already gone to shit days.
the weather is crappy, you're the only one eating the donuts your son talked you into getting because he said he would eat them, its time to do laundry, again. when is it ever time not to do laundry? its always time for laundry. ugh.
and now billy ray cyrus is hosting a special on the history channel. 'hillbilly: the real story'.
hannah montana's dad is hosting for the history channel. who'd a thunk it?

??

so whats going on with you people?
my life is at a bit of a standstill.

books

i hate it when i start reading a really good book and then misplace it. dammit.
i started reading one this weekend and i just went to look for it and i'm pretty sure i left it at work. sigh.
which really sucks.
but on the plus side, i have to go back to the hospital on wednesday because my mom is having some kind of radiology procedure and i'll look for it while thats going on.

no title really, just my most favorite video ever!!!!!

curtain rods and screws oh my

appantly i'm about useless when it comes to the cordless screwdriver.
i'm trying really really hard to put some curtains up. i finally got some curtains i like for the living room/dining room area. i got the curtains on the rods. but i cant attach them to the wall because i dont know how to use the freakin cordless screwdriver. i mean, you just squeeze and the screw goes in the wall. right? i can get it about half in. AND...i have a height issue. curtains are 84" tall. i'm not. sure, standing on the chair gives me some added height, but i'm supposed to use the screwdriver AND stand on the chair, and to tell you the truth, its not really working out that well for me.
makes me want to take up drinking.
oh wait....i already do.

damn damn damn

you ever have one of those moments? where all you can do is just sit there and go,"damn damn damn." yeah, i had me one of those today.

my mom and i go to walmart. i picked her up and off we go. we went, bought stuff, i dropped her back off and i head home. which is 13 miles from my moms.

i get 1.5 miles from my house and she calls me to ask if i need the keys i left at her house. "the keys" would be my house keys, so yes i would.

i turn back around and my mom meets me about 1/2 way so i dont have to drive all the way back. she's nice that way.

i was this close.

and to quote one my my mostest favorite comedians, Ron White, "We just can't pull it off with this equipment."

out of the mouths of babes

my mom took my daughter to a small zoo here in wilmington. totem pole zoo. thats what it used to be called when i was little, but i think it has a different name now. anyhoo....
my mom took kiera to the zoo. kiera also wanted to go to the aquarium, but my mom told her to wait until next weekend after she got paid. this is what my daughter told me:
"grandma and i got some scratch-off tickets and grandma won $15! but she doesnt have enough money to go to the aquarium. we have to wait until next week after she gets paid."

now, i know the kid was being a smart-ass, but she said it with the most serious and straight face that i about fell out the chair from laughing so hard.

101 uses for drumsticks

feel free to add some uses so we can make it to 101!

1. well, to play the drums

2. magic wand, with the other as a spare

3. to beat on things that are not drums (regardless if there is any music playing) just to irritate those around you

4. wooden stakes in case you run into a Vampire

i'm a pushover

yup, a pushover. i have just agreed to go to the gym friday morning. for 'just a stroll on the treadmill'. and tanning. they have tanning. i forget they have tanning. tanning would feel good...the heat.

cardi-who??

i get a text from my sister this morning at 0541 asking if i want to meet her at the gym for a bit of cardio this morning. (snicker)
i'm thinking not so much. the amount of cardio i'll get this morning will be in the form of me walking my ass right back to bed!

hypochondria; is it gone?

my earlier post about me having hypochondria...well, the symptoms for the hypothyroidism have almost gone away. yay!!! it really sucks to hurt 24/7.

and since the ouches have cooled off i have, of course, way more energy now. hence the cleaner house. and why i'll be fighting to find something to do today. i've already threatened to rearrange the cabinets in the kitchen. alphabetically. not quiet that desperate yet!

of course i could go visit my home planet for a few hours. hmmm.....

why why why

i spent most of yesterday doing bitch duties. you know, cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. Bitch duties.
and i've just realized that i did everything yesterday which leaves me nothing to do today. ALL the laundry is caught up. i swept, mopped, vaccummed.
i guess i could go o.c. and clean the kids bathroom and then re-arrange the cabinets in the kitchen.

hypochondria

i think i may have hypothyroidism. i have a dr. appt. for the first of october. we'll see what he says.

i hate i cant blog at work. blog sites are blocked.

dang da-dang diddy

i live at the end of a road. its 0.2 miles from the highway. the kids bus stops at the beginning of the road. i go to pick up matt, he gets in the car and my car won't crank. it turns over, but nothing after that. i think i'm out of gas. isnt that wonderful? matt and i had to walk back. not like its far. 0.2 miles.
matt is going to take his sisters bike, it has a basket, and whatever gas is left in the gas can for the lawnmower to my car and see if it cranks.
i'm finally feeling better and this is what i get.
smile, put on sunglasses. the sunglasses are so others cannot see the daggers you are shooting from your eyes at them becuase now all of a sudden everyone is stupid too.
breathe, tonia, breathe.

seasons are a state of mind

i'm making a scarf for a coworker who will be leaving us soon. she's kind of retiring. i got that thick wool like yarn. i just took it all apart to start over. it was too wide...looking like half a blanket instead of a scarf. first time i've ever re-done a scarf.
scarves, in september. who'd a thunk it?

boo!

this is what i bought for my door today. yes, i know its not even october. but, dang, ain't it cool?

beam me up scotty

"wheres the future and what does it look like?"

sick

i had to pick my daughter up from school today. school starts at 0745 and i got a phone call at 0815. her teacher called and said kiera was not feeling well. and i quote, "shes not a complainer so when she said she wasnt feeling well i thought i'd go ahead and call you."
now this child has only been in school for ONE week. and she has her teacher thinking that. i'm thinking, just come home with her one afternoon and see how much she 'doesnt complain.'
oh well. her teachers like her...thats what counts. she does well in school.
so i picked her up and we went to the craft store.
because you know its almost halloween. they have stuff out. halloween stuff. this just happens to be one of my most favorite holidays! i bought this huge ghoul for the door...the glass door so its kind of see thru. huge because its from the chest up and its like death with a sickle. very cool.

beverly hillbillies

my 7 year old daughter told her friends today that we are rich because i have diamonds on my rings. sigh.

'we must card anyone who looks under 35'

ok.
i went to the ABC store today and got carded. what a treat! the lady asked me how old i was and i had to show her my ID. she says, 'we have to card anyone who looks under 35.'
ok. i told her i'll NEVER complain about being carded. ever.

windows

the husband is out of town this week. this means i can open the windows and let in fresth air. he's an a/c junkie. not a bad thing. especially when its hot out. but its been rather cool this weekend. i'll probably end up turning the a/c back on this afternoon for a bit. but at least its not as humid as it has been.

i just found out today that 'weren't' is not a real word. my sister told me. she didnt know either. she found out at work. i asked her did a northener tell her that. (she's a nurse in the trauma icu at the hospital.)
apparantly her other southern friends didnt know either.
it has letters, it must be a word.

on a world far far away.....

i just had a 3 year old tell me a story and it started like this:
"a long time ago when i was a baby...."

i dont know how the rest of the story went, because i was stuck on the beginning.

phobia

i work 3rd shift weekends at the lab. my main duty is to go and wake patients up at 0400 and collect their blood.
everyone was surprisingly chipper this morning considering i was waking them up with the intent to stick them with a needle.
