I really meant to have this up yesterday but I lost track of time... again. Anyhow our friend Jeannie has been free of her addiction of cigarettes for over 90 days now. I am so proud of her. Even in the face of adversity (and with ALOT of support from her darling husband from what she says), she managed to "Just say no"! Congrats hun!!

Well we're down to the last few days of my primary obsession and NO Chicago...I aint picking until I absolutely HAVE to. Even down to the wire, it won't matter much because I like them both. It would be better if Kris won though because I'm sure Adam's going to have an easier time getting signed. Both will have great careers though.
I've been really enjoying my new camera (picture at left from online). More than 500 pictures have been snapped with it and I've used up ~maybe~ 6 sets of batteries. The juice gets sucked down fast because I keep the camera on while we're travelling in the truck...so I don't miss anything. Oh, this reminds me.... I still have plates to post in Photobucket. I haven't really been in any hurry to get them uploaded because HLP got hitched this past Saturday (the 16th...congrats hun, I hope you have better luck with that date than I did!) and won't be doing anything new for a couple weeks while she's on her honeymoon. Excuse me for a second....I gotta go deal with this horrid flashback.....
Anyhow...while hubby and I were out a couple weeks back, we were visiting McKays Secondhand store (music, videos, and games) and I saw they had the The Movies PC game. Ok, honestly, I saw it several weeks back. I'd pick it up, look at it and think "nah, not today...not at that price"...I really wasn't sure if I really wanted it that badly. Well, this last time (after about the 5th time picking it up and setting it back down) hubby asked if I was going to finally buy it. I told him I thought the price was too much and he told me that I was looking at the wrong sticker. *D'Oh* I was looking at the tag on the outer sleeve of the game, McKay's places their tags on the shell casing itself. So instead of the nearly $40 I was seeing on the sleeve, the game was only $5. Well for THAT price, even if it's a dog of a game, it wouldn't matter if I was able to get my money back or not (and the only way I get a refund on software there is if the game doesnt work). This game has gotten to be extremely addicting. I'll start playing and next thing I know, several hours have passed. Oh no! I guess I WON'T be getting to bed at 4am tonight either! I'm still learning the ins and outs of the game.

I dug way back for this week's entry. It is a Wordle of one of my very first entries ever, when I was writing on Yahoo360. Back then I wasn't even putting titles on my entry. This entry was written on October 13, 2005. I may or may not be in later to read entries today and it's even more doubtful if another entry gets posted, it may need to wait until tomorrow. May 16th is another of "those days" and sadly this year it falls on a work Saturday which means I dont even have my hubby home to distract me. This year, if I stayed, it would have been 17 years.
I've added something new to the page in my sidebar. The Helping Hands picture will take you to a blog that has asked for help. I'll be changing out the link the picture takes you to on an as needed basis and will try to make mention in my entries when the link's been changed. I wish I could do more, but many times I simply can't. Please make sure to pop over to these blogs and visit. If you can help with their need, please do. Thanks.
The one below was received (snagged?) from her entry of Six Word Saturday .
Neither of those have any rules (*whew* thank goodness...I hate rules!) other than to enjoy and share. As you can see, I enjoy them alot and now I'm sharing. If you havent received or snagged either of them yet....please do so now.
This next really pretty one was from Beeandrose in her entry called We all fall down the tale of Gimpy . Again, I see no rules (thank YOU!!! Someone up there really likes me today) other than to take it and enjoy...pass it around. So if ya don't have it, grab it. Don't make me find a way to stuff it in your comment boxes!
This one is from Yaya via her post Friday Fragments Focus Friday. Again, no rules (y'all love me!!).
Ok, in fairness...I don't know if she even has time to read my blog as I'm having trouble remembering who does and doesn't comment. Maybe it's time to weed my reading list down to just those that visit? No worries. Since I hate being tagged, I wont be tagging anyone. If you want it and are willing to follow the rules, then have fun.
Ok, 7 things about me? You really want me to let the Leo loose?? You asked for it....
01) I love to work with the graphix programs on my computer. Personally, I don't think I'm that good but I've been told otherwise by many. Nine times out of ten, the artwork you see in the banners and backgrounds on my pages have been done by me. In fact, the stuff I have up now, I snapped those pix and made any adjustments by myself.
02) I used to stream for a chatsite (this aint the awesome part). Actually, I've streamed for several different ones at one time or another and in most of them was deemed good enough to be a trainer for the newbie streamers. It was said I could train a monkey to run the program when others couldn't (this is).
03) If anyone has been watching that bar up there, you'll notice I've lost OVER 40 pounds now. I think I'm plain ol' AWESOME just for keeping up with this because I simply do NOT normally have the drive to do anything like this.
04) I make a MEAN lasagna, well as mean a lasagna as a non-italian can muster. I don't make it anymore because this hubby won't eat it and I simply cannot have a pan of that stuff sitting around here!
05) I paint plaster pieces rather awesomely, the camera just doesnt capture the true beauty of them. However, if you were to ask me in person....I'd tell you they aren't praiseworthy (Im just that awesome).
06) I learn most things quickly; it takes very little time to train me on anything. You show me, then talk me through a few times and as long as I use the skill daily....I'll be able to do it (like those codes putting the links in....got it memorized now thanks to this entry so I'll be able to type them in from memory).
07) I was smart enough to walk away from a hateful marriage before it went completely bad and someone got hurt. I'm the type that can make a great friend and will stand by your side as best as I can in times of need, but piss me off and you'll regret doing so.
If you dont have any of the above....PLEASE help yourself to them with my blessing.
Am up early after a 4 hour nap because hubby has an appointment at the urologist today for Journey type testing. Those that have been following a while will understand that comment. We got some answers last week. Nothing we wanted to hear, and definitely nothing *definite*. Won't go into it here. Maybe later in the other blog.
Next week's the Finale on my obsession (now that's another entry in and of itself...obsessions and distractions) so I'm hoping to get back to more of a routine writing here in this blog. We'll see. Some changes here, certain things that have been normal for me....well I just aint been doing because they don't hold my attention much anymore. This goes back to the obsessions and distractions. Once they work their way through my system, things should go back to normal...whatever the hell that is.
Anyhow...gotta go. Sounds like hubby's ready to start the day.

Every year for about 4-5 months my poor darling husband becomes a widower while I overdose on American Idol. Not to say that I'm addicted to the show, but my besties all know not to bother calling during those 2 days of week (3 days during the audition phases) unless they want to get the answering machine... or worse yet, their heads ripped off and handed back to them. My PaSis actually had the nerve to say I had a "very, extremely HEALTHY obsession" with all things American Idol. Yeah, thanks chickie. Anyhow, normally I'd pick a second, third or fourth placer and decorate my pages accordingly... only to be disappointed in the end when my fav didn't quite make it yet *again*. That is until last year when my fav went all the way to win the bugger. Hot dayum! Well this year, it took a while to really suss out my favs. Imagine my surprise this week when, after my analysis of the week's show, I had to call one of my favs as going home for the week. I was a tad sad, but suspected it was going to happen....and then it didn't. Yes, Im a happy camper as 2 of the Top3 are actually ones I like! I'm pretty sure that the one will go home this week unless he steps up his game. Right now, though, odds are in my favor of having a winner for two years running. I'd be happier if I took first and second place...
Anyhow, I thought what a better way to celebrate than to make Wordles for each of them. So I did some digging from my entries for the Top10 to present and pulled up just what I wrote for each one of them for their respective clouds.
Oh...and no worries. Things are fine here. I know I havent written in a few days but I've been a bit sidetracked lately. Besides, it's hard to keep up with the blogs (thought I'd better clarify that before the pervs show up to read...) on the days hubby's home ;).
