A months' worth

Holy Shit! I can't beleive I haven't posted anything here in like a month. So I guess I have a lot to talk about. but first I have to go turn the fan off....

OK

First off I will tell you that I am so relieved that this last week is over. It was the most stressfull week I have had in a long time. With the wedding and the funeral, all wihtin a few days, I was wiped out.
The wedding (my brothers and his "significant other") went well, I felt like a million bucks but after looking at the pictures I looked like a million pounds. Sheila looked very pretty in her dress. Her and my mother tried to oh, fool me?? I don't know. I had helped Sheila pick out a dress, and apparently she didn't really like it, so she returned it and bought a different one. I thought they were both beautiful. I don't know what the point was of them not telling me, they kept it a "secret"?? Why, I have no clue? oh well like I said, I am glad its over.
Oh, I should also say that with out the help of my boy and I their wedding would have totally sucked in the music department. Jon and I stayed up way late to put together a CD of tunes that were totally apropros. The CD that my mother bought had some shitty ass music on it. And I had to download "Here comes the bride" because it wasn't on there. Your welcome.
The reception was, well, how do you say it....empty. Let's see. The only person on Sheila's side of the family that was there was here Grandmother. All of Jeff's (my) family was there that live in the area and a few of their friends. They had about 30 tables all set up and pretty. Only about 8 of them were used. I felt bad for them.
I figure if she hadn't burnt so many bridges with her family and wasn't such a lying manipulative person, she may have had more people there. I guess it didn't help that Gerry had died and then more people from Quinn and my family would have been there but you can't stop life.
I danced up a sweat and had a good time. Bean danced to all but one song and Quinn even danced too. I got Jon to dance one with me too, that was awesome. We left early because bean was tired and it was about time for me to go home anyway.

About Gerry, he had died on Friday at the Airventure show in Oshkosh. He was landing his P-51 plane and it hit the back of another, flipped and blew up. The video is here. There are many other accounts of it online if you are interested. Just search Gerald S Beck. He was a good Uncle. I think he was evena a better dad. He love ice cream and cookies. He was a staunch Republican and he and I had a standing joke that he was my favorite Republican. The service at the air museum was wonderful. Every one did a fabulous job. Thank you all.

On to other news, Quinn and I went to the CarCraft Summer Nationals a few weeks ago. It was so fun. I love driving around in his Mustang. People just dig it. Their were so many cars there it was un real. We walked around blocks and blocks and saw all sorts of cars. just awesome. You can see some of the pictures in Flickr.

I took my Aunt Jo out kyaking on the lake on Monday. That was fun. I told her that she would get sunburnt and she was all...I don't burn, hahaha we both got it.

Well we had fun anyway. So that's all I can think of now so I will write again soon.

Funniest thing I heard all day.

So I had to run into town this afternoon to get yet another loaner car. First they put me in a 300C then they gave me a Denali. Nice vehicles, no doubt, I am not complaining. I don't have to pay for any of it. So I went in and today they gave me a G. Cherokee, not as nice as mine, but how does it go? Beggers can't be choosers.
It is a decent ride.
So while I was in town I figured I would swing into the old Wal-Mart and develop the pictures I had on my flash drive. So I am in there...waiting...I figure I should get a cart because I needed laundry supplies and on the way to the carts I see this dad come in with his daughter and he is hanging up his cell phone and kindof laughing. He grabs a cart and his daughter looks up at him says...
"Daddy, why did you say your pants were on fire?"

Always a first.

So, on Friday, Jon and I were on our way to go to the movies to see 1408. We had just gotten done with supper and Bean went with my mom. When I had turned onto Lincoln (which is a main street through town) and driving along when an asshole pulled out and hit my car. Nobody was seriously injured, Jon has a scraped knee and I have a sprained neck. The kid that hit me, who knows, I think he was ok. I will post pictures on Flickr. When I have a chance.
This was not a good start to my weekend. More to come.

Screaming meemee.





No, I don't have the shits. People, my dog does not bark. She screams.



It is not normal. When she sees a bird or rabbit or squirrel, she screams. What's even worse, if she sees a pheasant, she looses her shit completely and freaks out. It is a sight to behold.

Cuz it's all about me.

I have seen this on other sites and thought that maybe whoever reads this would be interested. Be forewarned, If you are not interested in me, please, click on the little x in the far right upper corner.

1. I have 3 major fears. Fire, mold, and something happening to my children like them getting killed, hurt, kidnapped, etc.,
I have another fear that is bothersome; old style vans. especially blue ones with no windows on the side.
2. I am too liberal for my own good. I do not care for the ideals of most Republicans. On the other hand, I am getting quite sick of Dems too. On that note, I am going to have to go for Obama in 08. That is if he is still in the running.
3. In my "young" age, I have become way to opinionated and honest about things. This is what I like/dislike, if you don't like it, whatever. I also will make it known that I either like you or not. I think I need a little adjustment on this and practice in tactics.
4. I am way overweight but not enough to qualify for lap band surgery. Dammit. I don't want to qualify for it either but hell if I want to quit eating. I just need to get back into the healthy swing of things again.
5. I like most people and enjoy making new friends. That said, if I find you are ignorant, I will drop you like a hot glass dish fresh out of the oven.
6. I am way NOT religious. In fact, I dislike most organized religions. I don't have a problem if you or your neighbor worship JC, Allah, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or whatevah! I just prefer not to.

So there you have it. A few tidbits about me. Take it or leave it. Now write 6 things about yourself.

So there you have it. A few things about me

My June.

And again I see why I like the fact that Blog spot is free, I don't post enough to pay to have a "real" website. I have been monkeying with Myspace but quite frankly, I dislike it.

These last few weeks have been quite, oh, normal. Nothing out of the ordinary but I thought I would again give you my update in bullet form:




  • We have had quite the weather here. Way to wet for any ones taste. More rain to come today which we all do not care for or want. We had some overland flooding and the river just couldn't take it all in at once so some fields were under for a few days.

  • I got a call from an old friend of mine to out for some BINGO! last night. I had a good time with her and because we split the pot we each ended up with 30.00 which covered the cost of the evening. I hope next time we go out that I actually win a game or two along with her so we can home with even more winnings. We did go out last winter and I think we both walked out with like 100.00 each. That's what I'm talking about. (Hi J!!)

  • I went fishing last weekend with Quinn and Gramps, I was hoping for a few good Crappie and sunfish to cook up and I ended up with an (to me) enormous Bass!! I caught it on the new pole Quinn bought for me. I think it was pure luck. You can see pictures of them before I cooked them.

  • Work has been going well, slow, but well. I got a raise at my last review so I cannot complain about these awesome people that I work for.

  • As I am typing this, the Storm is approaching. I hear thunder and the rain is starting. Not Good.

  • My brothers Fiancee' has yet to call me to ask for any help with any of the wedding stuff. I think I am glad, I really want no part of the whole farce, but, I love my brother so I will suffer through.

  • My garden is coming along swimmingly everything is up and as soon as it ever dries out I have to get out there and like a mofo.

OK I am now home after a heinous tornado warning, downpour, and hail. omg. More to come, please stayed tuned.
