Have you ever seen a dog that doesn’t like bones?

Isn’t in their nature to chew on bones? I have a dog that is finicky, very finicky. Not only is she finicky but she also needs constant reassurance. She’s always seeking attention in a humble manner. It baffles me, she’s spoiled. With six people constantly loving on her how could she not be. She thinks she needs to sleep with the kids, she even tries her hand, or I should say her mouth, at eating at the table. The funny thing is we have two other dogs, one could care less if you pet her or not, she holds herself like a queen, she’s always full of pride. The other one is a puppy, and well he just does whatever he pleases.

I find that writers are the same some are finicky, some are humble, some are full of pride, and others, well they just don’t care.

What kind of writer are you?

Diet is a four letter word…

Over at Fanlit Forever we’ve decided to take on a whole new challenge. Diet. Not necessarily dieting, I hate the word. We want to live a healthy lifestyle and for some of us lose a few pounds or like me more than a few pounds in the process.

I’ve opted for strength training wanting to give it a try. There’s a new wave of info out there saying you don’t need cardio to lose weight. Honestly, whether that is true or not, I don’t care. Cardio is needed to keep your heart healthy.

Anyway, my kids had been taking a class which, interfered time wise with my water jogging class. So, I’ve not done much cardio in the last five weeks. I have been doing strength training 2x a week. The pounds are coming off slowly, very slowly. 3lbs. in 5 weeks. Not good.

Next week, I will begin doing my water jogging 3x a week, my strength training at least 2x a week, plus some other stuff like daily crunches, leg lifts, push-ups, boxing, maybe some walking, I haven’t gotten to where I’m comfortable running yet. If you took one look at the size of my chest you’d know why, I’d be knocked flat on the floor before I could get started.

Add all of this to healthy eating and I should start seeing some results, you’d think. I’m giving up yet.

It was a little hairy in the first half but…

kansas-chiefs-helmet-2.gifYep, the Chiefs won!!!!!!! Whoohoooo! We’re 2-2. I’m not one who goes into stats and what not so I won’t bore you.

My favorite part of the game was watching Tony Gonzales’s mom beam with pride as her son made a touchdown that he had dedicated to her. Not a huge deal all-in-all, but it was his 62nd touchdown tying Shannon Sharpe’s record for their tight end position.

Gonzalez was a first round draft pick for the Chiefs back in 1997, and let me tell you he hasn’t disappointed his teammates or his fans. After watching his mamma’s face light up yesterday afternoon, she’s not disappointed either.

The day after

I thought I’d be okay.  I thought well, sometime I think it’d be nice to be remembered, other than where’s the socks, can you put my plate up, and how was the kids’ day?

Yep, you guessed it. He forgot!

Wedding Anniversaries

Yeap, today is my wedding anniversary. According to the gift list I should be receiving crystal or a nice watch. But I’m thinking after fifteen years of wedded bliss, the marital couple deserves something more than to show their time on earth is ticking away. I’m thinking a second honeymoon would be nice, of course if you didn’t have a first one then I suppose it wouldn’t be a second one would it?

Oh well. The truth of it is that this is a time to celebrate why we said our vows in the first place. It is a time to reflect on our love for each other. To look at those old wedding pictures and wonder what the hell we were thinking when we had our hair done, or picked our colors for the bridesmaid dresses, or why we invited Uncle Fred.

It’s a time to thank God for joining the two of you into one. A time to be thankful for all the years you’ve had together and pray for many years to come, if you’re blessed like I have been.

I don’t have pictures to share but I can tell you if I had to do it all over again, my hair would have been more tame.

One of our wedding songs was There is Love by Captain and Tennille,

He’s now to be among you at the calling of your hearts
Rest assured this troubadour is acting on his part
The union of your spirits here has caused him to remain
For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name
There is love, there is love

Well a man shall leave his mother, and a woman leave her home
And they shall travel on their way, the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning is now until the end
Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again
And there’s love, there is love

And what’s to be the reason for becoming man and wife
Is it love that brings you here or love that gives you life
For if loving is the answer then who’s the giving for
Do you believe in something that you’ve never seen before
Oh there’s love, there is love

And what’s to be the reason for becoming man and wife
Is it love that brings you here or love that gives you life
For if loving is the answer then who’s the giving for
Do you believe in something that you’ve never seen before
Oh there’s love, there is love

Do you have any memorable moments from your wedding? I have so many, some embarrassing, others not so, but I’ll save those for another day.

Surprise, surprise.

I have to say that after the first two losses, I didn’t hold out much hope for the Chiefs this week. In typical Chief fashion they came out in the second half a new team. Will they be able to cut it loose next week against the Chargers? I hope so, but they’ll definitely need to step up their game if they hope to win and that isn’t saying much at this point.

Sorry guys, I’m a Chief’s fan but I call it like I see it. You need to dominate the entire game not just the second half.

Every season my dh says this is their year. Come guys! Make this year your year.

I’m in a ranting mood…

corn2.jpg

Is there anything out there that others  wouldn’t think of that just absolutely irritates you to no end? 

Well mine right now is farmers. Not just any farmers. Now don’t get me wrong, farmers are hard working. And I do love to go to the Farmers Market to support the local growers, but let me tell you…it should be against the law for a farmer to let corn rot.

Sorry guys I have a right to my opinion. And while you all are letting your crop rot to mold dust, I am sicker than I get anytime of the year. Most of the time my eyes are so swollen that I can’t see. The roof of my mouth itches constantly. My ears, well I’ve thought of using a a wire brush good for cleaning battery cables. And my lungs don’t work like they should. All of that doesn’t even include the itchy watery eyes, the runny nose, or the loss of voice. It doesn’t include the lethargicness or the flu like stomach symptoms. And I know I’m not the only one.

Not only am I allergic to the mold thrown up in to the air by the wind, I have an allergy to corn and not a light one. I only get worse when you mow it down, but I thank God when you do.

Why not take allergy medicine you ask? I am, and more than two, at times three different kinds. If it weren’t for insurance it would cost our family near to six hundred dollars in allergy meds, just for a one months supply. This year hasn’t been as bad but it still irritates me and one of my kids seems to be worse this year than she ever has.

If we ever get the chance to move I’ll be sure to investigate and make sure there aren’t any corn growers in the vicinity. I’ll chalk all these years of being surrounded by cornfields as a life lesson learned.

So Farmer Frank, or Fred, or John, or Missy, or whatever your name is, the least you can do while you’re combining away and listening to your favorite AC/DC or Toby Keith CD is think about me and all the others who suffer durning your labor of love.

The rant continues…

I have this neighbor that I have become friends with or so I thought. A few weeks back my son was playing with another friend who my neighbors grandson didn’t like. The grandson, decided to ram my son with his bike more than one time. My ds got tired of it and threw him off. Things escalated from there. Piddly things, like the ngs’s(neighbors grandson) girlfriend came over to speak to one of my girls, but the ngs went into a rage.

A few days ago, seeing that the friendship was dying ds went to ngs’s to retrieve a game he’d borrowed and it turned out the ngs had stolen a gameboy from my ds. No biggie right, we have the game system back. Well that night the ngs shot his bb gun at my son. Come to find out it wasn’t the first time either. Now that I think on it my ds who is so worried about being a snitch and getting ngs in trouble, “cuz I ain’t like that,” he says, has had bruises nasty hellacious bruises all over his body. The first time ngs shot my son it hit his kidney area. Of course I didn’t find out until weeks later, which means there is nothing I could do. So the other day after the snake incident, I guess some boys, there was like six of them, my son included all went behind the houses. Well ngs left his scooter which he has always and forever been leaving stuff at our house. Anyway, the scooter got left and one of the boys that ngs had invited to his house threw it over a fence.

Here’s where it gets interesting, grandma called the sheriff and wanted every boy arrested for theft, including my son. This after I did not call the sheriff on her grandson for causing physical pain to my ds. She wanted them arrested for harassment. The sheriff officer couldn’t do anything because the scooter wasn’t stolen. What irks me, and I am being kind, is that my son had nothing to do with the scooter incident.  I won’t tell you about the conversation between the officer and the grandma, but she threatened to sue him because he wouldn’t do her bidding.

I fully expect more retaliation to come from grandma because she didn’t get what she wanted. The thing is she called me and we talked. My husband and I were on our way out the door to meet a family member who we hadn’t seen in fourteen years, so I couldn’t talk to her how she wanted.

I feel like an idiot for scolding my son and I don’t scold lightly. I never give my kids the benefit, I almost always scold then investigate, if they are guilty then I scold even more. I know my son isn’t completely innocent, they were talk smackin and whatever. But you know what this is ridiculous.

I tell you some people.
