It’s true! SO true. Check it out.
Take the Quiz here!
I did and this is who they told me I was…
You Are…Marianne Dashwood!
You are Marianne Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are impulsive (damn straight), romantic (break out the candles baby), impatient (what else?!), and perhaps a bit too brutally honest (my crotch is itching today). You enjoy romantic poetry and novels (Good in Bed), and play the pianoforte beautifully (just call me Mozarta). To boot, your singing voice is captivating (I sound just like Maria Callas. Really.). You feel deeply, and love passionately (as passionately as Miss Scarlett O’Hara herself).
All possible results: Elinor Dashwood, Marianne Dashwood, Elizabeth Bennet, Fanny Price, Emma Woodhouse, Catherine Morland, Anne Elliot
Huh? Elizabeth Bennet?! I could have been Elizabeth Bennet?!! I wanna be Elizabeth Bennet. No fair. I really could be Elizabeth Bennet….
Well, I guess a little music with some happy hugs could cheer me up right about now. And EVERYDAY.

So where were we? It’s been awhile.
J’s braces. That was where we left off. He’s doing quite well, not as sore as he was the first week, obviously. Didn’t eat much of anything the first four to five days. He’s lost weight. That was expected. He wants to know why we paid ALL that money to have braces on his teeth, braces that he didn’t want. Aren’t kids great?
J before…..

J after…..

My oldest, Tony, was on his spring break this past week and spending most of his time with his girlfriend, Megan, and her family near Boston. He came home for a couple days and brought he and Meg’s new doggie, Reilly. Nice pooch. The dog, not Tony. Though Tony is a nice guy, too. :)

And here’s a couple shots of Tony’s pup, Reilly with our sweet Abbie.
The pups hanging out together – cute couple

Take me baby doll, I’m yours

And so it goes. We’ve got spring break and Easter coming up. Big plans, and I am SO ready.

Well I’ve been farting around on my new WordPress for this blog. Spent about the last hour playing and figuring out different buttons, but I think I’ve got it. Maybe.
Are you guys here?
Let me know what you think. I’d love to hear from you!
I just got Jodi Picoult’s new novel Handle With Care. Anybody reading that one? I haven’t started yet cause too busy with new magazine design! OK, noticing I’m double spacing and where’s the font button here? Will figure this out.
Don’t you just love something new?
Speaking of something new….J’s braces! Will post new pics soon.

So as I mentioned in a previous email, we were sick over J’s 14th birthday, which sucked, but we were. So I promised the birthday boy that we would have spicy Tacos and rice and celebrate his special day a week late. And we did. No Toga party, not even a beer (water) pong bash, just a simple and sweet family day with a delicious dinner, and dessert. Did I mention the dessert yet? Peanut Butter Cup ice cream cake. That went over big and lasted all of less than 10 minutes once the candles were blown. Plus J’s big bro, Nick, was home to celebrate with us so J was happy. 14 years old. He’s growing up my youngest guy.

So, I was going to write about our pet Gecko, Chingy, today, how he’s all weird the past few days, sleeping a lot, looking all pale and white, licking his butt every chance he gets.

I am in a mood. And NOT that kind of mood, as the hubby will tell you, but a pissed off mood. I got it! I have the bug. From the kids. A lot of good washing my hands till they bled did me. I knew I would end up with it, after all I was the one picking up the kids snotty Kleenex, being coughed on, and, well, giving them mommy hugs while they were burning up with temperatures of 103! Now I’m the one with a pile of snotty Kleenex on the floor next to my feet. Does anyone wanna make me some hot chicken soup and hit me up with some more hot tea? Hmmpf, didn’t think so.
And today is my youngest son’s birthday. Joseph is 14. Actually he’s not totally over this flu so we are celebrating his birthday next weekend when everyone is healthy again and we can taste the food. He has requested tacos and rice. Great choice J. I’ll make them nice and spicy! I did take a couple pictures of the birthday boy today (plan to take more this weekend), then tried to put them up on the computer and the effing battery is dead now. There went that plan. Oh I want to breathe again, damnit! Hang on….gonna…..SNEEZE! Now that wasn’t pretty. More Kleenex. Shit.
This girl needs more Tylenol and a nap. And maybe a temperature check…..anybody…?
