A Musical Interlude ....

My friend tells me that whenever she hears this song that she things of me. After reading the lyrics (raised eyebrow) I'm not quite sure what to think about that. LOL! The following lyrics are to the song "Hell Yeah" by Montgomery Gentry, a rockin' country duo.

...He works way too much for way too little

He drinks way too early till way too late

He hasn't had a raise since New Year's Day

In eighty-eight ... gets trampled on by everyone

Except when he comes in here

And he's the product of the Haggard generation

He's got a redneck side when you get him agitated

He got the gold toothed look from a stiff right hook

He's proud he took for his right wing stand on Vietnam

Says he lost his brother there

He yells out Johnny Cash

And the band starts to play

A Ring of Fire as he walks up

And stand there by the stage

And he says

Hell Yeah!

Turn it UP!

Right On!

Hell Yeah!

Sounds Good!

Sing that Song!

Guitar man playin' all night long

Take me back to where the music hit me

Life was good and love was easy

She's got an MBA and a plush corner office

She's got a don't mess with me attitude

She'll close a deal she don't reveal that she can feel

The loneliness the emptiness

Except when she comes in here

She's the product of the ME generation

She's got a rock and roll side when you get her agitated

She got the tattoo there on her derriere from a spring break dare

In Panama where love was all she thought she'd ever need

She yells out to the band

Know any Bruce Springsteen

The she jumps up on the bar

And she, and she starts to scream

She says

Hell Yeah!

Turn it UP!

Right On!

Hell Yeah!

Sounds Good!

Sing that Song!

Guitar man playin' all night long

Take me back to where the music hit me

When life was good and love was easy

Yeah, Yeah

Can or can't you get my mind off thinkin' 'bout

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Hey, Hell Yeah!

Hell Yeah!

Turn it UP!

Right On!

Hell Yeah!

Sounds Good!

Sing that Song

Guitar man playin' all night long

Take me back to where the music hit me

When life was good ....

*** TGIF ***

Thank Goodness it's Friday! This weekend has seemed neverending and I would like nothing more than to go spend about 12 hours in bed with a few good books ... but of course as all of you other parents know, that is not likely to happen... LOL! Actually, Dillon and I have a full, busy weekend planned.

Tonight we (dad, Dill and I) are going out to eat seafood with a friend (waves hello to Carol) and her family. I'm looking forward to going to this restaurant, as quite a few people have raved about it; but I've never been there. After dinner, I'm either going to go over to Carol's house or do the dreaded laundry at home. :D Geeez, I hate laundry!

Saturday morning (late morning lol) it's off to the grocery store. Then it's back home to get ready and go to my oldest niece's birthday party. Then I'll have to leave the party and drive across town to my Aunt's house and pick her and my Uncle up, to go to the hockey game ....
GO AEROS!!!!!!!!

Dillon and I are staying the night with my Aunt and visiting another Aunt Sunday for Sunday lunch. We will then head for the house and probably fall out on each of the two sofas at the house ... LMAO! We will play couch potato for what is left of the day and try to force ourselves to do a bit of housework. COS - You know the older I get the more I realize that a [sterile] perfectly clean home is a sign of insanity .... a bit mussed home is a home that's truly lived in!

Somewhere in this full weekend, I need to dye my hair ... what you thought this was natural?!? ::snicker:: ... and ask my friend Carol to cut it for me. Wish me luck and have a gloriously fantastic weekend ... even if you never leave the bed (BIG GRIN)!

Place "stress dot" here!

Today at work, we had a Wellness Festival. The "Festival" showcased vendors and physicians from our area, covering things like physical fitness to eye care. There was a chiropractor, a dental group, three eye centers and they had testing for your cholesterol levels and your blood pressure. An area was set up for blood donations and there were booths set up for the vendors who carry our employee benefits.

I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually quite informative and that there were many services that I was eligible for that I had no idea existed! I gathered much information, some little promotional goodies and had a good time. One nifty item that was handed out, was a "stress dot." This small dot is placed on your hand, and similar to a mood ring changes colors when your very stress free (blues), mildly stressed (greens) and severely stressed (orangey earth tones).

I laughingly mentioned that I should probably place mine on my forehead, so that co-workers could tell immediately when to go the other direction and leave me the bleedin 'ell alone! ... LMAO!

Actually, my blood pressure was good and my stress levels have been blue and green allllll day! :D

Doing the HAPPY Dance!!!

*does the happy dance around and around*

I got my truuuuuck .... I got my truuuuuuck ... laaast niiiiiiight! Wooo Hoooo!

My truck looks beautiful and Mr. Tony did a wonderful job. I even drove to town last night to do a few errands ... :D I'm looking forward to this weekend and the driving I'm gonna be doing! I told my son to enjoy it while he can, because the new will wear off quickly and I'll revert back to the "never leave the house" slug! LOL!

Well, I've tried a couple of times to blog the past week, to end up with it lost in space somewhere. I seem to be having the absolute worst luck with computers here lately ... LOL! So here I am trying ... trying again. If this one doesn't save, GRRRRRRRR *shakes fist at computer* I'll throw this bugger out the window! Uhmmm, I'm just kidding ... really I am.

Hmmm, ok well I think this is it for today ... catch'ya on the fly!

It's Monday *sniffle* and I miss my .... TRUCK!

Seriously! I think I'm going through withdrawals. Two weeks! My truck has been in the body shop for TWO weeks! I've always been pretty much a "homebody", but I find myself thinking of places I think I need to go. Then I remember that my truck is not there, and I'm like, "Oh nevermind!"

Oh, how I long for the days I could walk out the door, jump in my truck and take off wherever I wanted to go!

Alas, it is my own fault. Around Christmas I had a wee accident with a concrete column ... all my fault, the column never saw it coming. LMAO! After wading through the questions and paperwork with the insurance company and then the adjustor ... it was off to the body shop. My father, who is disabled and lives with me, has a car ... I carpool with my best friend and co-worker ... so I thought, "why waste money on a rental?" I know that if I want or need to go do something that I can use my Dad's car .... or even my friend's car, who lives next door.

"So just what is your problem?", you say. It's just not the same! Not only did I not realize how much I would miss MY truck; :( but when I called the body shop today, I was told that it definetly would not be done til at least the end of the week.

NOooooooo! I need my truck!

I'm tired, stressed and depressed over financial stuff, I miss the freedom of my truck, and I've apparently been rude to my best friend today ... and ... and ... *pout* ... and ...it's MONDAY! Aarrrrrrgh! I hate Mondays!

Rednecks online .... WHAT?

Ok, my friend Carol began blogging a couple of weeks ago (It's All About Us), so I signed up to be able to add my .02 to her blogs. Then I got to thinking, "Hey this is kinda cool and I need to set up my own blog." TaDa! Here we are!

Problem ... what problem?! ::sigh:: Ok yeah there's a problem. I'm sitting here looking at this screen trying to come up with something interesting or funny to talk about and coming up a friggin blank. My palms are beginning to sweat ... something interesting ... something funny ... who was I kidding ... Aaaahhhhh! My life is boring, what would anyone find interesting about my days?

::deep breath::

Ok so maybe I don't have some extraordinary life; but hey interesting stuff happens to me ... or to my family ... or to my friends ... OK I can do this! Yes, it could be fun!

HOLD on World ... there's another redneck online!
