I've been working on putting a CB in my truck for about a week, and I've asked about a hundred people if they had an old one that they'd get rid of. Well, now I hve 4 (5, if you count the one that I gave Pumpy {Josh Stanley}) So, I'm gonna be spending the day trying my best to decide which one I want to keep, installing that one in my truck, then installing the other ones into my cousin's trucks.
I've been up all night, so it's gonna be a helluva day...
I need a shower. peace.

Yes...it's been a long time since I have entered a new post, but here it is. I have really been busy with my Multiple Sclerosis Support Group, the Lions Club, singing...streaming...just enjoying life.
Trying to get my two oldest through exam week at college will be interesting. I hope we all will survive it. To top that off, I have to take a trip to Nashville that same week to see my MS doc.
Things will get better, I know they will. It has been so beautiful weather-wise, and now snow is back in the forecast for tomorrow. Surely not at the end of April!
At Fireside Chat...things are as toasty as ever. We welcome any and all to gather round the fire and listen to some great music, and chat with some great people. www.fireside-chat.com will get ya there.
We'll leave the fire blazing for ya!

Well, here it is. Another boring night where I should be doing all sorts of domestic things; doing laundry, cleaning house, and unloading the dishwasher. Instead, I have self-tanned, played text-twist, and then found my way back to http://www.bored.com. I again found something that I thought I would share with you people. Here are some useless facts to amuse you.
More Monopoly money is printed yearly than real money throughout the world. (Oh, this reminds me of the night a drunk guy that tried to buy cigarettes off of some guy at a restuarant by giving him monopoly money, oh so funny, I will tell you about it later)
Penguins are not found in the North Pole
People photocopying their buttocks are the cause of 23% of all photocopier errors worldwide. (Glad to see our society is so productive)
A dentist invented the Electric Chair. ("You'll feel just a little tingle")

A cockroach can live nine days without its head before it starves to death.

A whip makes a cracking sound because its tip moves faster than the speed of sound.
Walt Disney got the idea for Mickey Mouse from watching mice play in a garage, where he was forced to work, because he could not afford to rent an art studio. (That puts a whole new spin on "The Happiest Place on Earth")
About 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year. (Good grief, what are these people doing? Using their tonsils to help them chew the pen?)
About a third of all Americans flush the toilet while they're still sitting on it. (OCD much?)
Alexander Graham Bell's wife and mother were both deaf .
The "O" when used as a prefix in Irish surnames means "descendant of."
Alfred Hitchcock did not have a belly button. It was eliminated when he was sewn up after surgery.
Cockroaches break wind every 15 minutes.
Charlie Brown's dad was a barber.
Fish scales are an ingredient in most lipsticks. (There are no fish scales in Estee Lauder lipstick)
Frank Baum, the writer of "The Wizrd of OZ", looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z, hence "Oz."
The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper.
On average, every chocolate bar contains at least three insect legs. (Well, that just put an end to my snickers bar craving)
Up until the early 20th century, New Jersey and Wisconsin had laws allowing the castration of epileptics
That was just the http://www.greatfacts.com/. Be sure to check out the site for more useless information. However, if I ever get bored enough to play on http://www.snapbubble.com then you have my permission to have me commited.

Okay, it is late and I've too much caffiene today so there's no sleep for me right now. So I decided to check out boredom.com. I used to go there often back in college, but that's been a while. It has definately gotten bigger since my last visit. Anyway, I found something funny on there that I thought I would share with all of you. I thought I had heard of every country song ever written just because of where I grew up. Obviously not. These are real country music song titles and if these don't make you chuckle...well...then you're just not sleep deprived enough to appreciate them.

So today I found out that I have an admirer. That's nothing out of the ordinary, people have admirers all the time. However, mine seems a little unusual. Why is my admirer any different than some? It seems that my admirer has never talked to me. However, he tries to come by work several times a week to see me. Is this odd? You may be wondering how I obtained this information. I didn't just observe this habit because I haven't even figured out who this guy is. Instead he knows A's boyfriend (they went to high school together or something). Apparently, JB(A's boyfriend) was getting ready to go into the store to see A and ran into that guy who asked him what he was into. JB told him that he was going to see his girlfriend who worked there. One thing led to another and that guy started asking if JB knew me and what I was like and how hot I was and so on and so for. A part of me wants to be flattered that this guy takes time out of his day just to walk by and see me. However, the more cautious side of myself knows that this may be a potential problem. We will just wait it out and see. Until then you can just stalk me from afar by my pictures on here and you don't even have to come look at me while I'm at work :-)

Guess who has to drive back to Knoxville tomorrow? Yup.. me.
I had hoped that I would never have to even pass through that area again. I totally hate that place.
at least it's only for one day.. I'm gonna go to JC this evening and stay at AJ's so that I don't have to leave Clintwood until about 7:30 instead of 5 tomorrow morning.
Ahhh God. Just one of them things......
So, what's new in everyone else's life?
