LOL!     Anyways, not too much to report here, just miserable and tired, Aunt Flo came to visit and woke me up at 4am with killer back and abdomen pain.   No sympathy was received from my household so I am at work toughing it out.   At least today is probably the worst day of Aunt Flo’s visit and all will be back to normal soon enough.   I am working, errrrr….at work right now, needed a break from reading, saw the Challenge was up and decided to accept the mission.   So here ya go! Hey ya'll! Today is Humpday so that means it's time for the Hillbilly Humpday Challenge! This challenge is going to be all about you and your life! Your...

I feel so much better today, besides the lovely side effects from Aunt Flo!  My ear feels better today, hardly hurts at all, just a little inside.  I am so glad about that!  Right now I am at work, and yep you guessed  it, avoiding work as much as I can.  I wish I could have stayed home to do nothing, but I have resonsibilities and meetings today.  However in a couple weeks I will be off for like 9 days...I so can't wait.  I am excited as I haven't really had a vacation like that in years...probably since like high school.  Anyways, onto other things.    I was reading this morning about all the panda babies being born in captivity...have you seen pictures of them?  They look so funky, they are pink (very pink) and slightly fuzzy...but man once they get their fur,  they are soooo...

Your mission, should you so choose to accept it, is to complete this Hillbilly Humpday Challenge! Mahah! Ok, this should be interesting. Name pet peeves that you have, whether it be with yourself or others or the government or whomever, that begin with each letter. Just name things that just flat out annoy you. This one is very broad. A – Arrogant people who assume they are better than you, though they most likely are not! B – Being called a liar. C – Cruelty in any form, to people, animals, etc…I dislike cruel people. D – Dirty dishes sitting around longer than 1 day…drives me up the wall! E – Ex-friends (especially S. Poston…she is the most annoying person I know)that are all nice to your face and pretend to be your friend but then tells all your secrets and backstabs you.

She’s coming down the end of this month to visit me….I am super psyched.   We have so much fun together, and I miss her so much, ,she’s like my “soul mate” in a friend way…we call...

(It's alcohol, hello stupid, alcohol is FLAMABLE!!!!!!!!!!) Danielle Alleyne, of Miami, was injured after she was doused with the flaming rum at a Miami night club in August 2002, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. (Okay, I don't get this, why has it taken her 4 years to file a lawsuit for this? She's not gaining any points with me yet.) “The burning rum stuck to her skin and continued to burn as she fell to the floor and tried to put herself out,” the lawsuit said. Alleyne suffered second and third degree burns on her face, neck, chest and back and is...

Oprah is Oprah, whether she is gay or not…leave it at that!   She is an amazing (and very wealthy) woman!   She is like one of the top 10 Women CEOs in the World…that is amazing to me…who cares what her sexual preference is,   it doesn’t affect who she is as a person. 2.  What is your favorite old time game show on tv?

Bass, who formed 'N Sync with Justin Timberlake , JC Chasez , Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn't earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn't want to affect the group's popularity. "I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," he tells the magazine. 'N Sync is known for a string of hits including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me." The band went on hiatus in 2002. Bass has also found headlines for undertaking astronaut training and failing to raise money for a trip into space. Bass says he wondered if his coming out could prompt "the end of 'N Sync."...

If you get stuck, go to your kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom and look around. ;) Feel free to put in parenthesis what exactly you're talking about. The name brand has to start with the letter to the left. You can not do this: T - Tea [Lipton's] You'd have to place it under "L" like this: L - Lipton's Tea.

Anyways, so ya my night wasn't too bad, watched Harry Potter and The Sorceror's Stone, I can't believe how young they are in the movie, I mean I haven't watched that since it first came out and they are so much more grown up now!  Other...
