I heart Huckabee!

The laughs just keep on a comin'!

I love Huckabee's originality and SENSE OF HUMOR. I love that he brought Chuck Norris on board.

Could you imagine Chuck Norris on the Mexican Border defending the American way?

Walker Texas Ranger!

Silly and Random

This will make you smile...

We were putting up the big Xmas tree this weekend (bringing the grand total to 4) and my oldest, Gabby is 2 1/2 and getting to that point where she has full cmmand of the English language but speaks like she's swedish having trouble with translation...

So the new big tree was one of thise trees that come in about 800 color coded branches that you need a strong spiked eggnog to deal with...

As I'm unloading this tree and sorting the colors all the while cursing my husband for purchasing this tree "on sale" last year I hear the spritely voice of a child yelling "bitches! Bitches!"

I turned around to see gabby dancing in the pile of BR-anches.

"Bitches! Bitches!" She keep squealing.

I grab her by the shoulders to face me and get down to her level and carefully say...

"Branches, gabby. BRRRAAAANNNCHEEESS."

Gabby's eyes light up and she smiles,

"Yes mommy...BITCHES!"

hahaha.

Why I love Message Boards....

Freaking hystercial....

I've never contributed to message boards until the whole Stacy Peterson case broke. And now I'm like a damn addict. It's funny. It is totally a lifestyle. I've been on the Greta Van Susteren board for a few weeks and here's a quick synopsis of what that looks like...

I would say there are about 45 regulars or so, consisting of mostly women in their 50's, about 10 local housewives (myself included), 3 men, and for the most part its us playing Nancy Drew and bouncing facts, opinios and theories off eachother. Pretty mundane stuff, butt occasionally you get the post...

"hi so and so, how's your 134 cats? did you get my Chicken pot pie recipe I emailed you yesterday?"

Cracks me up. Here we are sifting through evidence, etc running forensic experiments in our basements, and that random stuff pops up.

Another personal favorite?

"Hi, I'm new here so forgive me if this has already been posted, but isn't there a Starbucks in Bolingbrook?"

Then the usual answer,

"Yes so and so. Nutty McGetalife posted at 12:06am 10/30/07 that there are currently 3 Starbucks in Bolingbrook. I have posted a link on google earth for you to view. DUH!"

And finally...the TROLLS.

I love the trolls! There the guys...usually. Probably sick of the dishes piling up in the sink and laundry not being folded that get on the board and post things like....

"Drew is innocent. there is no body. Can't arrest a guy for wanting a younger piece of tail."

This gets the henhouse a buzzin! within 90 seconds there are 300 posts screaming at the troll. A googlemaster has tracked his ISP to his house and the hens are organizing an attack.

I love it...it's great fun in the burbs.

Jessica Who?

I hate the name Jessica and the girls attached to it.

I got called "Jessica" on my wedding night by my husband.

That was his prior before me. And I HATE that chick.

Anyways...

According to TMZ.com and Perez Hilton American Idol Finalist Jessica "who?" Sierra --sounds like a porn name if ya ask me---got popped by the popo last week for being classy.

Disorderly Conduct
Cocaine Posession
Pretending to have Talent

She was put on probation 2 WEEKS AGO. Now she's being held without bail pending these charges of a couple of felonies and a few misdemeanors.

Jess offered the cop a BJ, puked in the back of the squad car, and then puked during the booking.

Nice.

I totally prefer these stories as opposed to the nonsense of the other Idol contestants. Who cares about mall appearances and album sales???

Not me. Gimme booze, drugs, popo, and disorderly conduct ANY day.

The Stacy Peterson Case

I am a woman obsessed. Since 10/28/07 I have lived, ate, and slept this case. I can attribute this to a lot of things. I lived spitting distance to these people up until August. Our kids are about the same age and played at the same playground ( not together). I'm still in my 20's with a much older husband...I could sit here all day and wax similarities, but it detracts from my point.

Everyday I sit here at my desk reading message boards, posting my 2 cents of info as a local, my extensive knowledge of the law ( via Court TV law school). I look for possible clues everytime I leave the house, etc. Never in my life have I wished for a case to be solved.

Sure, I was into OJ when it happened, Scott Peterson, etc. but I was young then and really only in it for sensationalism and drama. But this case is different. I feel for the kids, the sisters, the friends, the family.

All the while there is this idiot and his idiot lawyer calling everybody "crazy" and unreliable, etc. Today Drew Peterson's lawyer is discounting reports of truckers allegedly being approached by Peterson as wanting to sell their stories to tabloids.

yup. they all want to be Britney. Every trucker wants to get out of his big rig and be met with flashes of truck stop paparazzi.

Oh ick...there's a visual, crotchographs and big sunglasses and Lindsay Lohan.

Anyways..I digress.

There's a saying that if it doesn't make sense it is probably not true. Truckers wanting a National Enquirer payday doesn't make any sense.

I have my Jr. Sleuth ideas and speculations. I can see all sides of this saga.

Have I been 23 and wanted to run away from a less than ideal life? Yes.

So much so that I would vanish without a trace? No. Especially if I had people to go to and confide in.

Can I see why a 23 yr old that feels stuck may reach out to a guy via text messages and emails? Yes. Absolutely. When circling the drain, you will do anything to pull yourself out of it an make yourself feel better.

I could go on for days. I GET everything Stacy did. Even if it so happens that she ran off to Mexico to decompress and shows up I will get that too. You make the best decision you can at the time.

But something about Drew Peterson screams predator.

Of course the sensationalist in me feels that you want justice almost immediately. But just this past weekend there was a HUGE vigil right outside his house and neither he, his family or Stacy's KIDS attended. Sure, even if you believe she ran off with another man (with only her bikini, 25K in cash, bedsheets and a nightstand) aren't you worried that she hasn't called in 5 weeks? Nobody has seen her?( Except in Peoria, not where I'd head BTW). He seems to have this "oh well" attitude that gets under my skin and makes me want to throw a shoe at the TV. Sure be mad at her for leaving, but get on TV and give interviews, don't plead the 5th in the Grand Jury, use your resources and connections to FIND HER. You are about to go down for murder and she took off leaving you with 4 kids!

Don't go on TV and tell the world she was unstable with PMS, and how much you spoiled her. Then bring reporters into your house and show them how great your kids are doing. 2 of them lost 2 mothers, and the other 2 won't even know theirs. Sickening.

We all know the story. It's just that for the first time I am truly heartbroken over a widely publicized case. Everytime I see her sister Casandra on the screen I have the simultaneous feeling of 'you go girl' and sadness for her.

Anyway, let's hope for more news. I just wanted to put in my 2 cents.

What I did last summer

Ok, I'll admit it. I did the MySpace thang. Deleted the whole thing back in August when I retreated to the 'Simple Life'. So today out of nothing more that sheer curiosity, I checked on a few of my "Top Friends" just to see what was new in their world. Well....

Baldy McMuppetbrows: Now I thought this person was cool when I was um...drunk. Turns out? Nope. Picks up big things to look cool, probably still drinks "man juice" (don't ask), and can't climb a fence. Still bald with Bert and Ernie's eyebrows. And a Steelers fan. Ick.

Superman: I have so many deep seeded issues with Superman. Not with the individual I am speaking of, but the superhero. And those adults obsessed with him. Well when I first met Superman I thought he was gay. He had a gaggle of fat chicks in distress that he would rescue at a moments notice, interviewed their wedding photographers, loved karaoke, and wore tight T-shirts. Turns out...not gay, just creepy.

Freaky Ass Scary Red-Head: Just did time in JAIL. Awesome. She's out now and in a bar near you.

The guy with little dogs: Um...there just isn't enough SPACE to get into this one. The mild mannered computer programmer dude with 2 little frou-frou dogs is probably the biggest serial killer of them all. Allegedly.

Looking back on all of that, it's nice to know that I have come a long way snce retreating to the Simple Life 5 months ago. Things are way better this way. I could be buying Xmas present for these people right now.

Back to the Blogosphere!

Ok, I've been gone for awhile. Since about August, I guess. After 2 years of spewing nonsense on the internets, I decided to give it a rest. When people are reading your shiz because it's their favorite soap opera and you aren't even getting PAID? Time to give it up.

But the world took a change, and looky here...I have opinions about it! So I'm thinking we're going to switch gears here and make this more of a current events commentary, and less of a drama filled adventure into the goings on in my life.

Don't worry, it will be just as entertaining...I promise!

So relax, enjoy, and take an adventure ride...
