I painted Nancy's toes today. They are hotpink glitter. Is that Fancy or what?! She laid on her back and I painted them and she just chilled for 30 minutes while I blew on her toes and rubbed her tummy. I am going to go to Wal Mart tomorrow to look for her some bows.

If you are prone to getting your panties in a wad, I would suggest wearing a thong. What that means? Not sure...but think about it. Thongs can't get in a wad, therefore if you wear one and you tend to get wads...you will theoretically be wad free. Same with like...say you are sensitive, and easily offended...don't post extra personal things on extra public websites.
That being said, I wasn't being bitchy...or making a joke...I just read a whole lota sap in a place that I'm not used to sap. I read the on goings of MM&A (WHEN she updates...but that's another story!) when I need a chuckle or to feel closer to home. And there was no possible way for me to know that you were going to "completely resent" a comment on your YMMB thing...seeing has how I've known about that since we lived together in Lubbock...
Anyway. What's that saying about the pants...and the same ones to get mad and glad in???

This is funny and I must post it here. K, thanks.
If Dogs Sent Letters to God...
Dear God,
Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?
Dear God,
When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?
Dear God,
Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?
Dear God,
If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God,
We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God,
More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God,
When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?
Dear God,
Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God,
Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog:
* I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
* I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
* I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box; although they are tasty, they are not food.
* The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.
* The sofa is not a face towel; neither are Mom and Dad's laps.
* The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.
* My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
* I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for ! Mom's driver's license and registration.
* I will not play tug -of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
* Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying 'hello.'
* I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.
* I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.
* I will not throw up in the car.
* I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.
* I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when company is over.
* The cat is not a squeaky toy; so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

We went to church this morning. It was cool. Well, not literally...it was actually VERY hot in there...but I am so glad we went. We went to Lake Shore Baptist in Lake Dallas. The service was about giving and they had some little girls get up in front and sign a song, I liked that a lot. Not that I understood it; but I like sign language. I think we are going to try a few more before we decide on one. Moe, do you know anything about Denton Bible?
BTW, I didn't realize that taking the Lord's name in vain was one of the 10 Commandments. We learn something new all the time!
I LOVED what Andy Rooney said tonight on 60 minutes. It was about how all stuff has to have something in it. He meant to grab a coke and got one w/ vanilla and he HATED it. I SO agree! There is not need for stuff to have weird flavors in it. Oatmeal does not need apple cinamon; coffee doesn't need hazelnut; peanuts don't need honey; and potatoe chips don't need bbq flavoring! If you want your oatmeal or coffee or whatever to have some extra flavor...you can put it in!
William is addressing HS graduation announcements tonight. He is the last of the grandkids on both sides to graduate...except on my Mom's side there is a cousin that is also graduating this year...but still...it makes me feel old. I had to type my list of who I sent wedding announcements too for him. Glad I'm not there or I'd end up doing it all.

Not only were we without running water and toilet paper, the CABLE was also cut in the process of the water softener being installed.
So here I am, sick, on the rag (for 6 weeks now, thanks), w/out bathrooms AND TV. But did I mention that the day that I skipped the shower, the one before that day that I was unable to shower, I had gone to some wild house party for like 8 hours? Yeah, if you smelled something stanky on Monday...it was me. Sorry.
I went back to the Dr. today because I STILL have a sinus infection despite the fact that I finished my antibiotic last Sat. He tested me for rheumatic fever, that's what he thought I had. But I don't have it. Just some "abscess" in my throat...but he gave me a stronger antibiotic and said that if they don't clear up they will have to drain them. Real neat.
So then, we are leaving the Dr.'s office and we get in a wreck. We exited off of I35 and were going under the overpass to flip around right by Denton Reg. Med. Center (where Vic used to work) and we were turning left. We were out in the street waiting for all the cars to go straight, the light turned yellow...so Vic went. This little P.O.S. caviler that looked just like Misti's old one, red and all, gunned it to run the yellow light and plowed into my door. I saw the bastard coming and was saying over and over really fast "VIC! HE'S NOT GONNA STOP!" I thought I was fine, but now I'm not so sure. My rt. leg is numb, kinda tingly. Everyone else was fine. Vic didn't get any tickets. Seems the other car, which had 4 non-english speakers in it, did NOT have insurance. Their car was totaled. They did get tickets. I kinda felt sorry for them. It was 4 middle aged men that were obviously just getting off work. Not that anyone can ever really spare a thousand bucks or so...but I know these guys really couldn't...and it's a $1000 fine in TX for no car insurance alone! Anyway, it was a long day. It's been a long week. I'm glad it's almost over.

Hi. I'm at Misti's and so is Moe. SO we have been communicating in real life. Fun fun! Moe has SO much to tell you all, she went on a date.
Misti's house is HOT, I'm sweatin' balls.
In very happy news, my brother (who's a sr. in HS) qualified individually for the state golf tournament today. The whole Hobbs High team did too! He shot 72 and he only needed to shoot 78! He even won the tournament. Hip Hip Hooray! Yeah for William!

I, Amanda the Great, am a card carrying member of the Corinth Women's Civic League. I went to a meeting tonight, only the 3rd one EVER and joined. I payed my 25 bones and became a member on "active" status. It's all about volunteering; giving back to the community, ya know. It was at the Oakmont Country Club...we had finger sandwiches w/out crust & fruit. I carried my purse like Ma on the Golden Girls and smiled sweetly. I wore a name tag. Even sat with the mayor, don't think her name's not "Babs," cause it is.
You can go here and check her out if ya don't believe me: http://www.cityofcorinth.com
I even took my nose ring out for the event. I can't open their minds without lettin' um warm up to me first! ;>

OH MY GOSH. I have been without cable since yesterday at noonish. That meant not only no TV, but NO INTERNET either! They are building a house next door and seems they ran over our cable w/ a tractor or some shit. So all day long I've been doing "wifely" things...laundry, dishes, "mended" some clothes, etc. I was going frickin crazy. I just knew some new thing happened in Iraq and I was the only person in America that didn't know it and I just knew that all you girls had updated your blogs and I was missing some neat stuff with yall...but, alas, I'm back and neither is true. Unless they really did kill Sodom last night, because it's fo' sho' that no one blogged....

It's that dastardly weekend school again. I can't believe a whole month plus some has already passed. I thought that it would be less painful this go round, but I was wrong. The pain in still fresh in my memory. I sat through tonight with relative ease; we watched a video. But tomorrow, it's back to the treatment center for a day of "sculptures" and "family reconstructions". I loath it all; I used to think that I was a sorta hocky-type person, but I was wrong. I like there to be some sort of scientific reasoning behind the theory and Virginia Satir did not like science. Therefore I am tortured the entire class thinking over and over "This is such a crock!" "Bullshit!" "Whatever!" "Um...riiight..." There are so many ways to think to one's self "you and your way of thinking are idiotic." But, I would like an A in the class, and it will all be over next Saturday. 3 more graduate hours down, only 999,997 left. Not really, it just seems like it. I'm going to read about Bathsheba.

Happy 28th Birthday VIC!!!
He got a new backpack from yours truly, and a card from Carson & the Poodles. I spent all of his birthday present money on fun stuff for the house last weekend. Sad, sad. I was going to make him dinner, but I don't feel like going to the store. Even sadder. Guess we'll go out! :)

This war really seems to be another reality series, only it really is reality. Why do they feel the need to show the same stuff over and over? I don't want to see it and I don't think most others do either. I understand that the people of Iraq are forced to see it live and in color, so there is part of me that thinks that we should also see it. But not like it's being broadcast. I don't want to see the nifty "baseball cards" depicting what weapons are used and their stats. I also don't want to see protesters or support rallies. I think that the news channels should show us the news but only what's relevant, but I also think that someone needs to educate our country. I overheard someone talking at lunch about the war going on in Iran and how she didn't agree with it because we didn't give Saddam enough time to "explain". Um. Ok, besides the obvious, pathetic problem what on earth does he need to explain? "I didn't mean to kill all those innocent people, and I didn't mean to break all the UN laws...it was an accident...see, one night I drank beer before liquor and boy, was I sicker...and that's when I did it...yeah..."
If I were in charge, I would have just sent in my secret special forces and taken out Sodom and his evil sons and that would be the end of it. Ok, well, there would be a few more that have to go...but you know, when you get rid of the apple core and it's seeds, the rest is tasty!
Oh yeah, and I want some news other than the war stuff. I want to know what’s going on with Elizabeth Smart! I want to know what’s being done to keep me from getting SARS! I want to know more about this Cuban hijackin’ stuff…my Dad is fixin to go to Cuba! And what’s the latest on Michael Jackson, is he still butt-hurt?
Yeah, I’m about to have a masters degree and I don’t search for myself…so what? I’m off to battle the laundry monster!
