Have you ever wondered...

...if doing the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?

And another thing, if you can spell Dwayne like Duane, then why can't you spell Wayne like Uane?

And finally, if mouse is mice, and moose is moose, then what is caboose? just caboose? or is it cabice? what about cabooses, or cabeeses?

I am so perplexed. Talk amungst yourselves.
Peace out, word to your mothers.

Are you seriously READY!?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!! Tonight (Wed.) TWO HOURS to catch us up, get us up to speed....tomorrow night is the BIG DAY! 8pm...here we gooooooo....I had a friend on the blog, I hope that's ok. She wanted to post this note:
Welcome to Season Three!!! We here at Grey's are all really excited about the new season and dear God, I hope you are too. I personally was itching to get back to work. I'm not a vacation kind of girl. I'm also clearly not a girl who exists well outside the four walls of Seattle Grace Hospital. I was missing George and the gang. So coming back to work was all about joy. But right now, this minute, today? I'm also kinda nervous. --Shonda Rhimes

"Hi Jill"

Thought for the day...

Friends

Friends are like butt cheeks.
Shit might separate them,
But they always come back together.

Votes are in

We'll the votes are in and nobody agree's with Insecta Inspecta. Colleen's new nick name will remain unknown.

In a non-related story....There is going to be a blizzard in Omaha today...so bundle up!

oh yeah

i must add a complaint.. actually.. just something that makes me sad.
Nobody has called me my new nick name - Insecta Inspecta. I would really appreciate it if everybody would make their best effort to remember my new name and try to address me as this the next time you happen to see me.

p.s. Nici asked if she could call me I.I. I said absolutly NOT! that goes for everyone else.

p.p.s. I vote that we start calling Colleen skid mark. :)

Jill the Hog

So I am not quite the blogger than Jill is, as you can tell she hogs 85% of the blog space we all have...now I am thinking that the latest blogs are due to her crazy business at her new job....Yeah Jill! How is that going by the way...but anyways back to my point...I think the reason I don't blog much is that I can't ever remember how. It always takes me 15-20 mins to remember how to add a post...so I may just start addding comments to others posts and you'll have to read them that way. But anyways. I just want to say that colds/sinus issues SUCK! How can a person produce so much snot? Where is it all stored? Why is it different colors? Now I do know the answers to some of these, but let's discuss for a moment shall we? Oh, and the blue is just for fun!

Let's all take a moment..

10 years ago to this date - sept. 13 - something tragic happened... something that will forever be remembered.. and i think we should all take a moment to think about...

yes my friends.. our homey... our brotha.... Tupac Shakir was shot in a drive by..

counslors are available if anyone needs help dealing with the grief

$1.50 can buy a lot

So I went to Sam's today to buy some baby items that I like to buy in bulk and discount prices.. :)
Everytime I go to Sam's I am happy because of the deal they have - $1.50 for a hotdog and pop! Sometimes I get it.. other times I don't because I don't have time or don't want to spoil my dinner. But I always walk out of there thinking.. what a great deal! Whoever Sam is... he is a genious!!!

A Joke

ok. so at work i heard a funny joke.. well.. kind of a joke. here goes:

I walk up to Erica and say, "Hey Erica.. do you have a sewing kit?"
Erica says, "Why no Jill.. I don't.. why?"
Jill says (while flexing her huge muscles that look like guns) " Because I'm ripped.. that's why!"

Dear Nici.... and everyone else I guess

salmon does rock. and we will be having a salmon feast when ever it comes in.. (from jim's fishing trip in alaska)

So the new job is awesome. I am working and earning a paycheck and love writing half of my check over to Jessica..haha! bc she ROCKS and is the best babysitter lady in the world..

ok. on another note. chick peas are neither chicks nor peas... Discuss..
what does everyone think about this?

a.k.a. Bruce the MOOSE!!

We were going to name Trotter "Bruce" - should have - Bruce the Moose! Trotter's 10 mo. birthday is today! He's 90 lbs. and growing. With Brian in Canada this week, it has tested me as a single mother of a 90 lb. 10 mo. old. Not fun all the time! He requires more exercise than I alone can possibly give him...3 mile walk, after work, in the drizzle? Nope - still full of "it". Fetch in the back yard (thank GOD for the new fence) for an hour? Nope...where does the energy come from? And can I bottle it? Can't wait for Brian to get home Sunday! I attached pics of "then" and "now" (actually this was taken last month when he was 83 lbs)...



And Jill's favorite picture from Jan. 28, 2006 where Trotter is pulling my pony tail.

food love

This weekend my family went to Kobe's for dinner for my sister's birthday(we missed you Jess). We had a great time and I was instantly in a good mood after dinner and for the rest of the night. I think that place is so great and everyone that is there is having a good time. Today for lunch I had the leftovers from dinner that night and was happy again, just thinking of the fun we had at dinner. It is amazing the feelings and memories that food can provoke. Kobes and Genji are definitly those kind of places that make you happy. I have several resteraunts that immediatly make me happy as soon as I walk in the door. Because I know the food will be good and I love the atmosphere. It is even better to be there with people you love and have fun with. So anyways, just was thinking about that and how interesting that is.

Question: Do you think fat people are happier.. because they eat so much? Or just happy at first, but when they become morbidly obese.. then they get sad? Ok.. never mind.


The picture above is of me and my brother Eric eating crab legs in San Fran. another favorite of mine, that ALWAYS makes me happy when I eat.

JESUS the Praying Mantis....

This was Jill's buddy Thursday 8/24/06. She named him Jesus-the Praying Mantis...or was it Moses? Either way he grossed me out. These pictures probably don't portray the SIZE of this monstrosity...he was 6 inches, easy, with a triangle, alien like head that swung around to check you out as you walked up to the front door.

Jill's new nick-name is "INSECTA INSPECTA"...see this link and learn all about Jesus/Moses...http://www.insecta-inspecta.com/mantids/praying/index.html

I've got poop too...

So I haven't been "on here" for forever. And the only POOP story I have is from about three years ago. I am not a mom, but I am an aunt...So we were staying at a hotel, some vacation my sister's family and I were on...not remembering where...but we were swimming in the hotel pool with my 2 year old neice and my 7 year old nephew. I was hanging on to my neice, and she says "I HAVE TO GO PEE!" So my sister nominated me to take this tot to the potty. I took her to the girls room and she hustled, tearing off the wet bottoms of her bikini, swimmer and all - and a little turd dropped out. No biggy, I sat her on the toilet as I grabbed TP to pick it up off the floor. When she was "done" she needed help wiping. (remember that I am in a swimsuit too...and that I am only an aunt) I had no problem with this either, this was "expected". However, the next move was not. As I faced her sitting on the pot with TP in hand, she stuck her head between my knees and wrapped her arms around to the back of my legs. As I wiped her poopy butt, I got laughing so hard that tears started coming down my face. My sister likes to call that "mommy training 101".
There you go, that's the best I got!
I think Erica has another Zuko poop story though...on the walk?? With the stick??
I am not sure how to add pictures...I am going to need some training on that so I can add a drinking picture too!
Almost September girls...can't believe it!
Word! Peace out.

bring on the poop

so i think its Jessica, Nici, or Colleen's turn to share a poop story. I know Colleen has talked about John doing funny things with poop.. ok . jk. that is gross. :)

So, also, what do you guys think about the whole Mel Gibson thing? talk amongst yourselves....

Good poop story!

So I have a really gross but super funny poop story. So last week Eliana and I and our dog Zuko were playing in the living room. For those of you who know our dog, he is obsessed with his ball. So I throw it randomly for him so he will leave me alone. All of a sudden he starting acting sort of strange and was hiding as if he was scard of something. I tried to figure out what was wrong but I couldn't so I went on to play with Eliana. We play this game where I chase her around on my hands and knees and she thinks it is pretty funny. So she takes off back towards her bedroom with me following close behind. When I get to her room I see her holding two black things in her hands. My exact words were "oh shit!" And that was literally!! Zuko had decided he was having too much fun to stop and go outside so he decided to do his business in Eliana's room!! I was so grossed out, I grabed her hands and started to shake them so she would let go and then ran her to the bathroom where we scrubed and scrubed and scrubed her hands. It was quite an experience!
