A never ENDING quest!!!!
How is it that 2 people have so much laundry to wash? I just don't get it. I think when we shut our eyes at night, the laundry pile grows. We never actually finish the laundry do we? I know my Mom would suggest "naked day" that way you could finish all the laundry.. thinking about how hot it ireally is at this time of year makes it more appealing...Naahhh..

Wednesday’s Creme de la Weird

Chinese man sticks 2008 needles in his head to mark Beijing Olympic Games

CHeck ot this picture....
















In a bizarre publicity stunt,
Dr Wei Sheng pierced the decorative needles in his head, face, hands and chest in the five colours of the Olympic rings.
The picture of Dr Sheng’s was taken in Nanning, Southern China, and demonstrates the patriotic fervour among the Chinese people in the build up to September’s Games.


I love the Olympic games too!!! But thats frick'in a nut job there folks!!!!

Is It Still Cheese?
Leave a slice of American cheese on a windowsill and after weeks it will dry, darken in color and curl. But rarely will it mold. Individually wrapped orange cheese slices melt smoothly on burgers and taste great straight from the package, but in most cases these soft slivers of heaven aren't technically "cheese" at all. More likely, they fall under the title of "pasteurized process cheese," "pasteurized process cheese product" or "pasteurized process cheese food."

AND THAT'S FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

Are people getting more stupid?

Tue Apr 8, 9:56 PM ET
EAST POINT, Ga. - Police said they easily caught a bank robbery suspect after he had a taxi take him to and from the scene of the crime.
East Point police Captain Russell Popham said officers arrested Marcus Chisholm at his apartment just a few hours after they said he robbed a SunTrust Bank.
Authorities said Chisholm had a cab pick him up at his apartment, take him to the bank and then take him home after the robbery.
The cab driver gave officers Chisholm's address and identified him in the bank's surveillance video.

Hey buddy (Crisholm), I give you The Dumb *ss award of the week!

Happy Easter!!!!!
Yes, I finally after 7 years celebrated Easter properly. I did not have to work Holy Saturday, and i was able to enjoy the day. I really wanted to go to the park but it rained, so we went shopping and hung out with my sister Sarah and bro-in-law Laszlo. Then later in the evening we attended the Easter Vigal, which is the Holiest High Mass in the Catholic Church. It was really nice, and for all you Catholic's out there that say it is too long, you are really missing something special. After mass we all headed back to the K-C's for "dinner or brunch" either way it was an after midnight celebration with champagne and a loveily meal. That concludes Saturday....

EASTER Sunday, Greg had to work a few hours, he was helping prepare a special meal for the residents and their familys. I slept in a little, which was so nice.... then in the afternoon we were on our way over to Greg's folks for Easter dinner. We had a yummy dinner with the rest of the C's. C's that's Greg side...if you are confused. And to top it all off we celebrated Greg's Dad's birthday. Dad C's birthday was on Saturday. So not only did we enjoy a yummy Easter dinner... but birthday cake too!!!!

Happy Easter!
Peace be with you.

The hunt is still on and so are the greeens!!!

Yes, I'm still in the job search... By the end of this week i will have one!!!! Because i said so!!!
It's sad to say i kinda enjoy not working, I get to see people, get to do what i want, and even get to sleep in. Just kidding about the sleep in thing that's nothing new...hehehe! But It's time to get back to the land of the working because, I don't have a money tree in the back yard.

As far as the greens...I mean collard greens..there cooking right now for supper bowl Sunday. That's rght I'm bring greens to my Folks superbowl shindig! That's what happens when you spent 6 years living in the south...ie Jacksonville. Or like my buddy Patrick he's now addicted to sweet tea....and in a little over a week he's movin' back to Chicago. I don't know what he's going to do...no more sweet tea....and no more happy warm and cozy winter. Maybe he will trade in his sweet tea for a long island ice tea...it would help him stay warm!

I have to run..and stir my green...
Have a happy and safe superbowl everyone!

And a Shout to My cousin David and wife Kim... congrats on your new Baby boy Matthew Ryan!!!!
