Fug Thursday

I'm no diva. As a matter of fact, I don't do FUG Thursday very often because it makes me feel a little mean. What bothers me most here? Is it the faded black, tapered, no pockets, unflattering, way too short 80s jeans, OR is it the pairing of these with blue and white floral sneakers? I don't think everyone should look perfect. But how can someone have so little self-worth, as to not even TRY? You can dress comfortably and inexpensively shopping at Target, Wal-Mart or Goodwill, without looking like a slob. OR, I think maybe she didn't know better, but then...how could you not look around you and realize you don't look like anybody else? You don't have to be a clone, but at least presentable. Good grief!

America's Got Talent!

GREAT show. If you didn't catch it, don't miss it again! FUNNY as all get out, but also very talented people, and sometimes both at the same time. LOVED it.

Why did we spend all that money on a garden hose??

Clearly, you can attach the sprinkler directly to the faucet. What were we thinking?? And who would have ever thought Trivial Pursuit would make an EXCELLENT kids' game! They're all matching the colors in the pies, and trying to get the die in the middle, and trying to roll specific numbers.

Way Back Wednesday - Summertime

Happy Summer Solstice!! To celebrate the first official day of summer let's see some summery things...bathing suits, beaches, BBQs, water balloon fights, wet t-shirt contests...you name it! I'm assuming from my outfit that this was technically not summer, but hey, it's the lake! I have no idea where or when this was taken, but it's my Granddad mowing the lawn, old school style. My grandmother and my favorite cousin Sarah, I'm guessing 1978. This is the only picture I could find from Key West, June 2001. And a bonus, because when the theme was graduation, I couldn't find this.
did you play?

oh frick it all

So a very very very good friend of ours is here from California, and they're going to six flags tomorrow. We're broke, but we have season passes including parking, and a place to stay, so OF COURSE Evan and I will go too. I finally made the decision to spend the gas and drive to Dallas, got all excited and just about ready to walk out the door, when I remembered that someone is coming to look at the dishwasher tomorrow. I can't ask the landlord to reschedule it because we already got onto her about not getting someone out here fast enough. I just want to cry...we'll still get to see him this weekend at an annual reunion, but STILL! Anybody want to come sit at my house all day tomorrow???

Evan made his own lunch

His hair's not fixed and his face is dirty. Still pretty cute though.

Goodbye, Mr. Rather!

44 years - holy! Maybe I'll see you on the lake this summer! Respect.

Damn this pisses me off!

He picked the kid up from school. What 14-year-old's parents don't know exactly where their kid is after school?? Crappy ones, I tell ya'. Maybe I'm overprotective, but this is the parents' fault without a doubt. Lawsuit happy money-grubbers. Disgusting. Not to mention, what about facebook, all blogging sites, etc.? The entire internet is unsafe if used improperly. The story: Austin girl sues MySpace.com 6/20/2006 11:00 AM By: News 8 Austin Staff A 14-year-old Austin girl is suing the popular Internet site MySpace.com. The girl claims she was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old Buda man she met on the site. He was arrested May 19. The girl is suing MySpace for $30 million. The suit says MySpace fails to protect children from adult predators. "MySpace has presented itself to the public that it is safe for young users, that there are extra protections in place for 14- and 15-year-old users ... those protections in fact we believe are utterly unsatisfactory," lawyer Carl Barry said. The MySpace site includes a list of safety tips for users and warnings against posting identifying information. It also warns users to be aware of strangers and people who may not be who they claim. "No one is more committed to Internet safety than MySpace" MySpace's chief security officer said in a released statement. "We take aggressive measures to protect our members. Ultimately, Internet safety is a shared responsibility. We encourage everyone on the Internet to engage in smart Web practices."

Sunday Six - Father's Day!

1. What is a Father? A father's your dad. Your dad's a father. 2. Why do we have Fathers? To keep us safe and sound. And to love. 3. What do Father's do? They keep you safe and sound and dry from all the wet lightning thunderstorms. They keep you safe. A lot safe. 4. How do you celebrate Father's Day? By being good to your father. 5. What have you learned from your Father? A lot of different stuff. 6. Do you have any other names for your Father - if so, what are they? Um, John. That's my father's name.
