Top 10 Worst Cartoon Characters.......Friday Funny!

#10 - Tweety Bird -
You know there's a problem when every single kid roots for the "hero" to be devoured in each episode. No sense of humor. No personality. Annoying voice. Plus he was always tattling. I knew kids like this growing up. Most of them ate paste, sat in the front of the bus, and got me in trouble.

#9 - Grape Ape


A real moron. All he knows how to say is his name. And he does so non-stop for a half an hour. I'd rather watch "Davey and Goliath covet their neighbors model airplane."

#8 - Olive Oyl
Am I the only one out there who thought this was one lady NOT worth fighting over? And that's what they did every episode! She talks like Edith Bunker and looks like a pipe cleaner with a cheap hat. Hey, Popeye, you're a sailor... you can do better! Plus Olive can never decide if she wants to date that jerk Bluto or not. The girl is just bad news.

#7 - Petunia Pig
Remember her? Porky's girlfriend? She was a real zero. What was the point of her anyway? To make Porky look good? Come on, who did they think they're fooling. We all know Porky is gay.

#6 - Pebbles & Bam-Bam, as teenagers

What were they thinking? Were they trying to cash in on the "Joanie loves Chachi" thing? And how come every cartoon teenager plays in crumby rock band? An awful -and thankfully shortlived- idea.

#5 - Pepe LePew
Hello, Warner Brothers, ever heard of sexual harassment? Let's take a good look at this character; a horny, rapist skunk who's attracted to other species! NOT good for the kids.

#4 - Alan, from Josie and the Pussy Cats
How weak was this "Fred" clone? They even gave him an ascot, for crying out loud. Well, I knew Fred. I grew up with Fred. Fred was like a friend of mine. Let me tell you something...you're no Fred.

#3 - Zan and Jayna, the Wondertwins
How many times do we have to say it? Leave the crimefighting to the professionals! "Form of... an idiot!" They should have been voted out of the Hall of Justice a long time ago. There's no room for dead weight in this game.

#2 - Kazoo, from the Flintstones
It's like "Hmmm, a miniature, green spaceman who appears only to Fred Flintstone isn't enough of a stretch. I know! Let's give him a snotty London accent!" Um, could I get a drug test from Hanna Barbara, please?

#1 - Scrappy Doo
And, really, who else COULD it be? This guy ruined Scooby Doo! Just came in and ruined it! Scrappy is the Yoko Ono of Saturday morning cartoons. I can't even talk about it anymore. It's too upsetting.

There you have it....the Top 10 Worst Cartoon Characters.....

What were your favorite/worst cartoons when you were a kid?

Happy Friday everyone!

Anniversary Coming up.....

Our Six year Anniversary is coming up, June 2nd as a matter of fact....and I am at a total loss as to what I should get hubster for this glorious occasion..I need some help people....what do you get for the sixth anniversary?

Leave me a comment...with your suggestions...help Dixie out....please??????

I want it to be special...something unforgettable....I thought about having some tasteful semi-nude, sexy pictures done of me...but, I think I will save that for our ten year or something....if I am not too old and saggy by then...lol....

But for now...I just don't know....so, I will be so grateful with any ideas you may be able to give me....

Patiently waiting...Dixie.....

Thursday 13.....

It's been awhile since I have done a Thursday 13....so here goes....




13 of the Worlds Worse Album Covers.....

I'm With George.....

Life Could Be Worse....

Life could be worse.



We all have bad days at times, and we are ready to quit our jobs. Well, next time you have a day like that remember this.......



WHEN you have a 'I Hate My Job' day, try this:



On
your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the
thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johson
& Johson. Be very sure you get this brand.



When
you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the
phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable
clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove
the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so
that it will not become chipped or broken...



Now
the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it
carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement:



'Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johson & Johson is personally tested and then sanitized '.



Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times,



'I am so glad I do not work in thermometer quality control at Johson & Johson.'

How Did You Celebrate?

Wow...What a glorious four day weekend I just had....Sorry for not being around...but hubster and I stayed on the go constantly for the past four days. All of the kiddos were gone for the entire Memorial Day weekend....so, the hubster and I enjoyed the time alone....

Friday we traveled about two hours away from where we live in Lafayette, up to Merriville Indiana to the casino boats with a friend of ours. It was so much fun. Luckily, we didn't lose any money...our friend gave me $50 to play the slots, of course...I lost it. He put $50 in....he lost his too. But, just being there..hanging out, drinking..was loads of fun. Sad part about it was watching some of those people gamble, which I am sure, were there entire weeks paycheck away on those machines. The pure looks of rejection, bewilderment and just sadness on some of their faces was so unbelievable to me.....I know gambling, for some, is just as bad of an addiction as drugs and alcohol can be for people. Sad..really sad...Some of them continued to sit there at the slots, long after there money was gone....hoping by some miracle, the machine would just "give" them their money back. Another thing that bothered me about our visit while there, was there was a seven/eight year old little girl at the casino, sitting on the floor with a gameboy, no parent in sight and it was eleven thirty at night. An hour later, we passed by her again...still no parent.....what the hell is a parent thinking by bringing a child to a casino, then leaving them unattended like that..it really pissed me off. Some people so do not deserve to have children.

Saturday, on our drive back from Merriville...we drove through Monticello..home to Indiana Beach....the tourists were out in full force, as that was their opening weekend....we didn't go to the beach...but we did stop by the Sportsman Inn for lunch....where I had one of the best Mimosa's ever!!! It was so relaxing to eat lunch there, look out over the lake.....
Once we got home that afternoon, hubby went fishing and I got to take a glorious two hour nap....bliss, I tell you...pure bliss.

Saturday evening...we went for dinner...where many of these were enjoyed and savored....


After dinner and drinks, we walked across the street to the theater and saw this movie....


I only have one word to describe it....

Awesome!!! If you haven't seen it, let me tell you it is well worth it....I think it is the best Indiana Jones movie yet.....

Sunday was spent sleeping in and resting, lots of book reading and tv watching.
We really, really wanted to go see the Indy 500 race...but, we both woke up late, if we had went...we would have been late and we would have had to sit in the infield...on the ground...yuck! Not for me...
From what I seen on t.v...traffic was absolutely horrible..I don't do well with big crowds like that, so we stayed home and watched it on t.v...I so wanted Helio Castraneves to win or Danika Patrick..but, unfortunately...that didn't happen. Hubster went fishing again...then we went out for dinner. Monday was more of the same, with a quick trip to meet the mother in law to pick up Max...

Now, today??? Back to work...back to the grindstone...back from heaven and straight into hell....

Oh, well...at least I only have four days of purgatory this week.....then the weekend will be here again...Yay!

Have a great week everyone!

And the Winner is.....

David Cook beat David Archuletta in the finals last night....







He is now the "Next American Idol"....


The 25-year-old rocker beat the smiley 17-year-old crooner with 12 million more votes.

It was a great show, and I enjoyed watching the finale more than any other this season. There were a lot of great performances but I think my most favorite was when David Cook rocked out with ZZ Top....that was way cool.

He is on his way to great success and I can't wait to see what he has in store for us.

Until Next Janaury...Dixiechick..blogging American Idol...is out!

Maybe I Should Have Approached It This Way.....

Update....Hubby was just messing with me....he likes to see exactly how gullible I am...once I got home...everything was fine...and yes, he did know what freaky meant and we had a very nice evening together.





I am ticked off at the hubster at the moment....I was feeling a little amorous..thought I would send him some fun, suggestive emails...you know, kind of keep the "fire" burning....I emailed him and asked if he wanted to "get freaky" with me tonight....let's just say his reply was not what I wanted or expected. He said what is freaky? that he doesn't speak "hip hop", but it wasn't hip hop he said....it wasn't very nice....said he was tired of referreing the two youngest spawn with their fighting, he wasn't in the mood this evening.

Max is going to Grandma's...Aaron will be in bed by eight thirty/nine pm...I figured we could have some time together...why is it only ok when he is in the mood? I can't tell you how often I am not in the mood, but never do I say no...I forgo any time to myself on a frequent basis, to make sure he is "taken care of"....maybe this is a little TMI...I don't know.... I just know, when I sent those emails to him, I didn't expect to get "slapped in the face" so to speak.

What the hell????? Most often, he can't keep his hands off of me.....I was looking forward to going home...now? Not so much....if this indicative of what his mood is going to be. I have worked very hard to slim down..I am now down to 124 lbs. I am always dressed up, made up, ready to go....I feel like I am very sexy......Hell, the principal at my son's school the other day, told me I was hot....I get "looks" all the time...I have often been referred to as a MILF....I take that as a compliment, because I work hard to look good and I feel the best I have about myself in a long time....damn it, he should be interested.....so, my question is, what the hell did I say wrong? Guys, if your woman emailed or texted you, said "Do you want to get freaky with me tonight?" would have said, "I'm not in the mood"? Would you have known what freaky meant?

Happy freaking hump day! At least for everyone but me...now there definitely won't be any humping going on!

Thanks...I needed to vent! Vent over.

Is it just me.....

Or are these two starting to morph into one another?

Mmmmmm.......

Dancing With The Stars.....The Winner is......

Kristi Yamaguchi came into the "Dancing With the Stars" finale with a perfect score and left with the mirrorball trophy. The first woman in four years to win the coveted trophy.

"This is just the icing on the cake," Kristi said after her victory Tuesday night. "I honestly thank all the fans out there ... everyone who's made this a dream experience."

"Obviously the fans are the deciding factor here," Yamaguchi said, "and I can't say enough to thank them."

She also had plenty of fans among her fellow competitors, who said she deserved the title.

Taylor, the massive but graceful pro football star, called Yamaguchi "just perfect," adding that he "grew up watching her compete for our country." De la Fuente, who was eliminated early in the two-hour season finale, said "it was impossible to beat her."

No truer words could have been spoken. I knew from the very first dance, Kristi was going to be tough to be beat. I predicted from the beginning she was going to be the winner.

The new cast of the next season will be revealed this September.

Julianne has her album out!!!!

Well, she did it...our little Dancing Queen has went to Nashville, and put out her very first CD....its a little pop/country..kind of along the Shania and Faith genre...I like it.

Go to her website Juliannehough.com and check it out.

Good luck to you Julianne!

DANCING WITH THE STARS....WHO IS TAKING HOME THE TROPHY?

I can admit, Dancing With the Stars has not been on my priority list this season..especially the last month or so. I don't think I have sat down and actually watched a full episode in the past four or five weeks. The demands on my time are too consuming for me to allow myself that little luxury of actually being "allowed" time for myself to enjoy that square little box, that sits in several rooms of my house, that which is called "t.v."...

I didn't get to catch hardly any of Dancing last night. Hubby and I are anticipating a 4 day child free weekend coming up this Memorial Day weekend, after dinner/bath duty last night, right when Dancing came on tv, hubby wanted me to spend time with him on the computer, to "explore" our options for weekend entertainment. That took quite some time, in between also trying to referee the constant fighting between my two youngest spawns....Then after kids were tucked into bed, hubby has this unexplainable need for "time with me"....so, it wouldn't be fair for me to post a Dancing Post, when I actually didn't get to watch very much of it at all.

My sources tell me Kristi had two perfect scores from her dances last night. Why doesn't that surprise me?


I really wanted Jason to win...but, I think this season, it's going to be a woman. My prediction for tonights winner is Kristi Yamuguchi will be carrying the mirror ball trophy home.

If you want to see a complete recap of last nights show, head over to buddytv for their take on last nights final performance.

I must say, compared to last season, with Helio...this season was a disappointment to me. I just wasn't feeling it.

Also tonight, American Idol will be down to the last performance, between both Davids....I think I will watch that, if given the oppurtunity...then catch the last hour of Dancing...if the T.V. gods smile down on me and allow me time to actually sit down and watch....

For now...Dixiechick....out.

Friday Funny!

A woman was helping her husband set up his computer,
and at the appropriate point in the process, the computer
advised him that he would now need to enter a password. Something he will use
to log on.


The husband was in a rather amorous mood and figured he would try for the shock effect to bring this to his wife's attention.

So, when the computer asked him to enter his
password, he made it plainly obvious what he was entering by stating each letter out loud as he typed......



P....



E....



N....



I....



S....


His wife fell off her chair laughing when the computer replied:



*** PASSWORD REJECTED.

NOT LONG ENOUGH ***

MCDONALDS WANT TO FEED YOU FOR FREE TODAY ONLY!

It's morning in America and McDonald's is pretty sure you want to eat fried chicken on a biscuit.


The Chicago Tribune is reporting that McDonald's has seen so much cash from their chicken menu items that they're adding some to the breakfast menu. Get ready to sink your teeth into the Southern Style Chicken Biscuit and the Southern Style Chicken Sandwhich. Chicken sandwich experts (or whatever) accuse McDonald's of copying Chic-Fil-A which apparently has been offering a chicken breakfast biscuit since 1986.



McDonald's Southern-style items are simple affairs. The sandwich, which has a suggested retail price of $2.89, comes on plain steamed bun, with butter and two pickles its sole condiments. The biscuit, which goes for $1.89, comes adorned only with butter.

Both arrived in stores nationwide within the past two weeks, and a national ad campaign began last week. On Thursday, customers who buy any medium or large drink at McDonald's 14,000 U.S. restaurants can receive a free Southern-style sandwich or breakfast biscuit.Customers can try the Southern Style Chicken Biscuit from 7:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m., or a Southern Style Chicken Sandwich beginning after breakfast hours until 7:00 p.m., with the purchase of any medium or large beverage at participating restaurants (while supplies last).



Now, I am still dieting, so this doesn't fit in with my meal plan, but I thought I would share it with my bloggy friends....go get your free biscuit or sandwich today~

American Idol...Now there are two....The journey approaches its finale.

Last night, we said our good-byes to Syesha Mercado....



I must say, over the past few weeks, Syesha had improved greatly. She should be very proud of her Number 3 spot. I am sure we won't be hearing the last of her...weather it be singing or acting. Someone will stand up and take notice of her, if they haven't already. She is a beautiful girl and very talented.

Now, we are down to the two David's...

I have been saying this for quite some time. It is going to be interesting to watch them sing it out, to say the least. At this point and time, it is anybody's guess who, between the two, will be the next American Idol. David vs. David is going to be very exciting. I see David Cook coming out, guns blazing....and I am sure he is going to blow us away....Archuletta will undoubtedly sing another power ballad, he has become so well known for doing, he has to keep hold of that teenage fan base he has acquired. I honestly do think that David Cook is going to win this.

One more week, we will find out...after that, whatever will I blog about?

Dixiechick....out!

I've Got Nothing People....

I don't know what is wrong with me lately...I feel anxious, irritable....annoyed with everyone and everything. I am just not feeling this blogging thing. I feel like I don't measure up with all of the great wonderful blogs out there. Why blog, if hardly anyone reads you. I do appreciate my regular readers though, don't get me wrong...I love all of ya'll. I just feel like I am letting people down, that do stop by here. My posts are boring, mundane and monotonous...and until I have something really great to say, I don't feel like posting. I haven't even been into watching Dancing With The Stars or American Idol...my interests, this season, in these two shows has definitely waned. I am going through a bunch of crap here at work...very very busy...I haven't read any of your blogs in almost a week. By the time I get out of work, all I want to do is go home, do what needs to be done, then go to bed.


In a way, I feel kind of depressed...but, not really. Does that make sense? Maybe it can best be explained as "blah"....maybe the weather has something to do with it. It is rainy, cool and gloomy. I think I have the "summer blues"...I want sunshine and 70 degree temperatures....Seeing my oldest this past weekend, was great...but, it just reminded me of how old I am getting, how I am no longer as important in his life as I once was. I know I have complained on here a lot, about my job, about my life..how tired I am, woe is me, woe is me....I am honestly not trying to do that. Just wanted to explain my lack of posts, I guess...I don't have anything interesting to say..so, I don't want to bore all of you with a detailed, minute by minute replay of my boring life.

On a lighter note, a happier note...my brother called me last night. He won a lottery drawing....to the tune of $180, 000.....I am very happy for him. If anyone deserves it he does.....he has a really hard time, and struggles weekly to pay his bills...so, I am thrilled for him. I hope he uses it wisely, pays of his debt and invests some of it. It may seem like a large amount, but spent unwisely, it won't go far for him.

Now, I did catch the end of Dancing With the Stars last night, and I seen that Marissa went home. I figured that would be the case. Next week, my prediction is that it will be Christian leaving Dancing with the Stars and on Idol..I see Syesha going home tonight.

Well, that's all I've got..tomorrow is another day...maybe the sun will come out...yada yada yada...blah...blah..blah....and I will be the happy bubbly Dixie again..the one you have all grown to love....um, yeah...right...maybe, just maybe...I will actually have something interesting to say.

Later....

Better Late Than Never.....

Very busy Monday, first chance I have had to post anything....

So, how was everyone's Mothers Day? Mine was fantastic.....hubby spoiled me (for the kids)..I got a new watch, some new clothes....pedicure/manicure, etc....Saturday, we traveled, together, with Max to Terre Haute to visit my oldest son. Saturday was his junior prom....he looked fantastic....I was so proud of him...I am proud of him.

Here are some pictures....



Of course, Max had to get in the picture with Tim and his friend.


Tim and Danielle's friends...the other couple they doubled to the prom with.








Each time I look at these pictures...I am in awe of what a wonderful young man he has become.

Before I was A Mom.....

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom, I never held a
sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I
couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -

I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up
in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make
sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful, hardworking moms out there....Remember your Mother this weekend, take time for yourselfs, and husbands, remind the kids..take them shopping, help them cook breakfast for Mom, or just give Mom the day off, to sleep in..do whatever she wants for a change....and remember, Where we would we be without our Moms?

How do we spend our Economic Stimulus Rebate check???

Your Tax Rebate:

The Federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate. If
we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China. If we spend it on
gasoline, it will go to the Arabs. If we purchase a computer, it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and
Guatemala. If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan. If we purchase
useless crap, it will go to Taiwan . . . . . . . and none of it will help the American
economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes,
weed, beer, and tattoos, since these are the only products still produced in the
USA .

Thank you for your help & please support the US.

(Keep in mind...this was just a joke...a little fun...a little humor...not to be taken seriously. I do not promote the use of drugs or prostitutes. I do not have any tattoos...no american was hurt due to the posting of this joke)

Dixiechick.

Asta La Vista...Jason.....

All I can say...it's about time! He should have been gone long ago..many may argue that part with me...but, seriously, from day one...I never seen what the attraction was with him...why so many people, mostly women, swooned over this guy. His singing was mediocre at best....He had a couple of good songs....good performances, but overall, I feel America finally made the right decision and he is gone.

Next...I think it will be Syesha...leaving Baby David and Rocker David to battle it out for the win.

So...do you think the right decision was made? Was it time for Jason to head home?

Dixiechick..out!

THIS IS GOING TO BE MY NEW SLOGAN.....

and....my response to problems that arise here at work.

Yeah, I'm bored..without substance...and meaning...

Hence these totally lame ass excuse for posts today...But...apparently...I am a total girly girl.....so, Hhhmmmpphhh!

You Are a Total Girlie Girl

You love looking good, and wooing men with your womanly ways. You're so feminine, men are in awe of you ... which is a very good thing.

How Feminine Are You?

I swear this is the last one....I forgot how fun these things were. I had to take a break....before I get myself fired for insubordination....deep breaths, Dixie...Deep breaths...channel that inner girly girl......

Modern Bombshell I'm Most Like....

You Are Most Like Eva Longoria

“There's something very sexy about being submissive.”

What Modern Bombshell Are You Most Like?

Hell, I wished!!!

Would It Be Effective??????

If I read this book, would I like my job more?

Mmmmmm....probably not.

Dancing With The Stars...Who Was Voted Off????

Another celebrity leaves 'Dancing With the Stars'
It was the 100th episode of "Dancing with the Stars" — but the last for Mario.
Mario is leaving "Dancing With the Stars." The R&B singer and his professional partner, Karina Smirnoff, were the low-scorers at Tuesday's results show.





He and Smirnoff performed a Viennese waltz and a jive Monday on the ABC dance-off, earning 53 out of 60 points. Judges crowned Mario "a new prince" following his ballroom routine, but viewer votes didn't keep him on the program.

Throughout the season, the judges complimented the 21-year-old on his youthful exuberance, but criticized what they called a lack of elegance in the more formal ballroom dances.

After acknowledging his partner, Karina Smirnoff, he thanked Len Goodman, the judge who had given him the toughest critiques during the season.

I'm gonna miss Mario. He never truly got the credit he deserved and was always unfairly criticized by Len who, among other things, called Mario's feet "ugly" and compared his attempt to be elegant on the ballroom floor to Britney "I'm Really Funny on How I Met Your Mother" Spears getting out of a car.

I Am Here...Just Busy....

Sorry, folks....I have been extremely busy here at work...don't really have much to say. I honestly didn't feel up to blogging yesterday. But, never fear...Dixie will be back, hopefully later today....with Dancing With the Stars/American Idol posts....

Just wanted to make a quick post to let those of you that care know I didn't call of work, just been busy.

Later....
Dixie

IT'S MONDAY....HOW MANY OF YOU FELT LIKE CALLING IN SICK?

Remember, as a kid, how easy it was to fake a sick day, and stay home from school, then spend all day lazing around in bed, watching t.v., etc??? How I wish I were a kid again, and could just take the day off, with no consequences, other than making up a days worth of homework. Now, as an adult, one day blends into the next, calling off of work, means you are letting down more than just your pals and teachers at school...You call off of work, you either have to use up your accumulated sick time/vacation time, or like me...you just don't get paid. Then on top of that, you get the cold shoulder when you come back to work the next day, because you let your co-workers down, then your spouse, because they feel they have to pick up the slack in the financial area, then as a Mom/parent, calling off sick, with little ones at home, means it is a mute point to do so..because we all know, Mommys aren't entitled to a "sick" day....

Those were my thoughts this morning, as I contemplated taking a sick day...let me just say, it didn't last long, once those thoughts ran through my head...so, here I am, at work....dreading the start to another week. I am tired ya'll...tired of never having a single second to myself....do any of you ever get that way? Someone is always needing something from me.....once in a while...I just want time for me....thus the thought of taking the day off. But, staying home, would not grant me time for me, as Hubby and Max are there all day, so I would spend the day giving to them, not getting the time that I so need for myself. I love my family, I hate my job....I wish I had a happy medium.....oh, well....suck it up, Dixie....another day, another dime earned, huh?

Moving on....bellyaching session, now over. I am here at work, so I have to make the best of it.

My weekend wasn't too bad. We didn't do a lot of anything, actually. Justin, my 14 year old, did not come to stay this weekend. He had a field trip to Kings Island with his eighth grade class from school on Saturday. Due to that, I didn't have to do any traveling this weekend. Friday evening, I went to take the little guys to the library, but they closed at six p.m...we were late..so, we went to McDonald's to the playland, for dinner. How gross are those playland structures? I swear, I will never take my kids back to the one in our town...it was so full of sweaty dirty kids..the entire room smelled like Body odor...kids screaming...I had enough after half an hour, packed my kids up and left. Since we didn't get to go to the library, we went to Barnes and Noble...I love going to the book store, but with the little kids..not so much...Aaron was fine...he picked out a book on the clearance rack, about Vampires, totally loves it...but Max, on the other hand, had not idea how to use his "inside" voice...I swear he snuck behind my back and made a visit over to Starbucks for an espresso...because he was bouncing off the walls! We left the bookstore, of course, I did have my coffee in hand, and made our way to Hell Mart...gotta get the groceries, you know....I was so tired, I couldn't wait to go home. I had this wise idea, if I let Max stay up a little past his bed time, he would sleep in Saturday Morning....did he? Nope....up and out of bed, waking me up, demanding blueberry pancakes and bacon, before eight a.m.....
Saturday, we did make it to the library, to the video store......the rest of the day was spent watching movies and t.v....
Sunday, I cleaned house...the usual, and in the afternoon, Aaron and I went to the movies and saw Iron Man....


It was great! I am not too much into the superhero type movies...but this was pretty darn good. I highly recommend it. I don't recall very much, if any cursing in it, and the violence wasn't too over the top. Aaron is almost nine years old, so he loved it. I left Max at home with Dad, because I wasn't too sure if he would be able to follow it. If you have kids ages eight and up, especially boys, they will love this movie...

I didn't watch Desperate Housewives last night, I was too tired, ended up watching the Water Horse with Max, until his bed time, then I went to bed. How was it? Hopefully I can catch up and watch it on ABC. com later today.

Have a great week everyone!

Dixiechick...out!

An Elephant Paints an amazing self portrait

This it utterly amazing. Right before your eyes you will see an elephant paint the most incredible thing you've probably every seen an Animal do. This should blow every idea of what so-called lower life forms are aware of and capable of doing right out the window.

FRIDAY FUNNY.....LITTLE RISQUE...SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

10 HUSBANDS....STILL A VIRGIN.....




A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.

On their wedding night, she told her new husband, “Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.”

“What?” said the puzzled groom.

“How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?”

“Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up.

Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was… God! I miss him! But now that I’ve married you, I’m really excited!”

“Good,” said the new husband, “but, why?”

“You’re a lawyer. This time I know I’m gonna get screwed!”

Thursday 13.....Questions I have.....

Thirteen questions about Lost....

1.) How did Ben get to Tunisia? Did he time travel through his secret room? Did everything that happened with Sayid happen between the time Ben walked into the room and when he came out?

2.)Why did Ben throw up? Was that a side effect of time travel? Was he upset that Alex had been killed?

3.) How did Ben get the gash on his arm?

4.)How is Hurley going to find Jacob's cabin when it jumped around the last time he saw it?

5.)Where did Bernard learn Morse code?

6.)How did Ben know or guess that the year was 2005 when he was in Tunisia?

7.) Why does Ben need Hurley to find Jacob's cabin? How come Ben doesn't know where it is?

8.) Before he realizes it was Ben he was attacking, Sayid says that they are vultures and they are spying on him.
Who does he think Ben is? Have people from the island been spying on him, or is it someone else?

9.) Ben didn't believe that Keamy would kill Alex. If he had known, would he have done anything differently?

10.) What did Ben do in the secret room? Did he time travel? Did he let the smoke monster out? Both?

11.) Why did Ben think Alex would not be harmed?

12.) Why was Charles having nightmares?

13.) Charles says he knows all about Ben. What does he know? and if Charles used to have the island, how did Ben get control of it and why can't Charles find it now?

Will any of these questions be answered tonight? What questions or theories do you have?

We bid adieu to Brooke White....



I am not too happy with this decision...I felt Jason Castro should have been the one to go, yet he was the first one safe. It most definitely is a popularity contest,
