The Bucket List

Everyone has one, whether it's written down or just inside their head. You know you do. The Bucket List. That list of things you want to do before you die. It's ok. I have one, too. And here is my bucket list. Now, granted...mine may not be the type of stuff that is going to change the world. It's basically a list of stupid things that amaze me, and that I want to do or accomplish before I kick that ever-inducing bucket. So, without any further ado....may I present, MY Bucket List:

1. To fly in a jet plane. Not a regular jet plane that carries people from point A to point B, but the type of jet plane that flies over the baseball field after the National Anthem has been played. The type of jet plane that, when you're in it, you have to wear an oxygen mask just to survive, and your face looks tighter than Joan Rivers after a spa treatment. The kind that makes that gigantic sonic boom in the air.

2. Go on a ghost hunt. I don't care who it is. I just want to go on a ghost hunt. I'm fascinated by that sort of stuff. I want to hear something, see something, feel something. I don't care. I just want to go. Is there anything wrong with that?

3. Along the same lines as #2, I would also like to speak to a person like John Edward, someone who speaks with the dead, to see if they can maybe make contact with my mom. I miss her so much, just knowing that she's around me and is with me would bring me such comfort and give me the closure I need. I didn't get to say good bye to her.

4. Quit my job and open up a bakery. Not just a doughnut and bread bakery, but a sweets shop. I wanna sell cakes, cookies, pies, and cream puffs. Brownies and fruit breads, and stuff like that. Both sugar filled AND sugar free! There are so many diabetics in the world....we derserve sweet stuff, too, Damnit!

5. Ride in a hot air balloon. I think that would be SO freeing to just be in a basket with a big old giant hot air balloon above you.

6. To travel to Greece. I want to see the Parthenon. I don't know why, I guess just to say I've been there and done that. I just think Greece is awesome.

7. I also want to go to Germany to visit my friend Christina, and to also go to Auschwitz. There's something so powerful and gut wrenching about being there. Along those same lines, I would like to go to Amsterdam, and see the hiding spot of Anne Frank. For the same reasons.


That's it for now...I'm sure as I get older, I'll add on to it. What are some things you have on YOUR bucket list???

BWAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

I just had to post this! I about pissed my pants while I watched this. I don't know whether it's just because it's funny, or it's funny because I teach in an inner city school, but OMG, did this crack me up!

Bein Venido, Betty Suarez!

Is it pathetic that I'm sorta sad that Ugly Betty is off the air? I mean, yeah, it got pretty hokey the past year or so, but I'm gonna miss Betty Suarez! I loved that show! I think I kind of related to Betty. Not in the fact that I worked for a high fashion magazine, and I was a young Mexican chick with braces and a parka....but in the fact that I am a woman on a mission. I know what I want, and I know I won't give up until I get it. I'm kinda stubborn that way. It's gotten me through life without too many scars so far, so I guess I won't complain...but I loved the fact that Betty didn't fit into the mold, but worked her way up through bitches and pretty people to make a name for herself. And the chick blogs! Granted it's not funny like mine, and she actually had some sustanence in her writings...unlike me who could write three or four pages on cheese, LOL!

OH! And I was just watching The Insider on tv, and they were showing that ABC is refusing to show a Lane Bryant ad for their bras and panties, saying it is too "risque" for the channel. Um, hellOOOO.....have you SEEN Dancing with the Stars? Edyta S. wears like an inch of material on each boob, and a half inch of material on her vajayjay! And they are saying a plus size model wearing a bra and panty covering EVERYTHING is too risque? Um, ok.... This pisses me off, majorly. As a big girl myself, I am completely offended by ABC because I just KNOW that they're doing it because the woman wearing it is a size 16....a supposed "plus size" model. I think she looks beautiful! They show Victoria Secret's ads. Why is it ok for THEM but not for Lane Bryant? It's because the girls are not as emaciated as the Victoria's Secret model. For God's sake, eat a fucking doughnut!!! Drink a slurpee and eat a fucking doughnut!

...and on that note...because apparently because I'm a bigger girl and it's all I'm allowed to wear, I'm going to go slip into a moo moo and man panties and seduce my husband!

Later Days!

Lazy much?

Ok, 1....I successfully watched 14 hours of Little House on the Prairie yesterday. How sad is that?!?!? And I totally didn't get my butt up off the couch unless it was absolutely necessary. It didn't help the situation that I had a sinus headache from hell all day yesterday. So, I guess 90% of my laziness could (and probably should) be blamed on that :P Sound good? I thought so! I even DVR'd the Disney ones so I could watch them when I woke up, which I just finished, and it's now 7:15AM, and I should be getting ready for work. Blah! Work. At least there's only 37 more days of work left before summer begins!

WA-HOO!!!!!!!!!

I am more excited than a fat kid in a sweets shop! I just scored some AWESOME seats to the Brad Paisley concert on June 4th! The tickets didn't go on sale until 10AM, so I was on that website at 9:59AM, waiting for it to turn from "More info" to "Purchase Tickets" at 10. As soon as it did, I put in 4 tickets, and best available, and I got seats real close to the stage! I'm so geeked! And yes, I said geeked! I really am! Darius Rucker is opening up for him, and I think I might be a little more excited to see Hootie than I am for Brad (as awesome as he is). Hootie is great! The reason I got four tickets is because our friends, Chuck and Dawn, will be coming with JB and I. They're just going to pay us back for the two tickets we got for them. That way, we'll be able to sit together.

I'm having a Pure Romance party this weekend. I'm excited to have a little get together for the lady friends. I'm making it a themed party. Everyone's gotta wear pajamas. That way, no one will have to worry about wearing anything fancy schmancy. Also, I'm making a penis shaped cake, complete with cream coming out of it, franks n' beans, cocktail WEINERS, assorted NUTS, BLOW pops, pixie STICKS, pretzel RODS, cheese BALLS, corkSCREW pasta, and SEX on the beach. :) It'll be fun. JB is taking the girls and dog, and headed out to camp with them for the weekend. It'll be my first weekend alone, without anyone. I honestly don't know exactly how to feel about that. On one hand, I'm like, "SWEET! I'm free!" as I never EVER get me time. But, on the other hand, I'm kinda nervous about it because I'll be alone, withOUT the dog. Last time I spent the night alone, I had at least the dog with me. But not this time. It'll just be me and the cats. I'm thinking I'll be sleeping with the tv on all night both nights. Hopefully, I'll get enough ladies to come and buy stuff that I can get a shitload of free stuff. The last time I had one, I think I spent fifteen dollars, which is over what I had in free money.

Well, I better get going. Have a lot of stuff to do today. Later Days!

It's been beautiful all week long. Of course, up until today, I was inside painting Blondie's room lime green. And now that I'm done, guess what the temp is? It's like 45 degrees and extremely windy outside. Freezing compared to the other days this week. WTF? Of course, it's because I could actually GO OUT today, and it decides to be a shitty ass day. The kids are cranky, Brownie especially. I'm tired, I could totally pass out and take a nap (which I still may do!) and my house needs to be cleaned. I'm having a Pure Romance party on Saturday. Went out and got all the stuff I needed for it. It should be a good time. I'm excited, but my house is filfthy. Hair and dust all over the place. Maybe I'll take my nap then clean. Yeah....that sounds like a plan! Sleep, THEN clean! Superior decision there, M! Superior decision!
