Your Stripper Song Is

I’m a Slave 4 U by Britney Spears”I’m a slave for you. I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I’m a slave for you. I won’t deny it; I’m not trying to hide it.”

You may seem shy, but you can let your wild side out when you want to!

What Song Should You Strip To?

Ewww…I don’t like Britney Spears…..

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Black Comedy

In your life, things are so twisted that you just have to laugh.
You may end up insane, but you’ll have fun on the way to the asylum.Your best movie matches: Being John Malkovich, The Royal Tenenbaums, American Psycho
If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

Gee….kinda true, sad at that might sound :-)

just plain weird…

March 26, 2006

So, we were minding our own business today, cleaning out the shed when we notice something up in the eaves. Bryan gets the step stool and starts looking around. He pulls out mail, postmarked at different times during fall 2000. He looked in the other eaves and pulled out even more! Somebody must have been trying to hide something, because mail just does NOT get *lost* up there! Bryan kept hoping he would pull out some money but no such luck..LOL! There are probably 20-25 pieces of mail, all of them from banks or credit cards and 2 were even from the gov’t travel card. Bet you can only guess what that means (looks like someone was in a little bit of financial hot water). They are old but technically if we throw them away, it is a federal offense so Bryan is taking them to OSI and letting them do with them as they please. I thought it was just plain weird though!

Wonder what other secrets are lurking in this house?!?!

email font

The font I am using in my emails now is here if you want it:-)

It’s that time of year again..we have been spring cleaning fools. It is amazing how much stuff 3 people can accumulate, especially considering I am an extreme minimalist (or so I thought:-). We still have to tackle the storage room tomorrow but I have already thrown away 2 garbage bags full of stuff, have 2 huge bags of stuff to freecycle and 3 boxes of stuff to sell…oy! I already listed a few things on eBay and listed a few more on some local garage sale lists.

I was also fairly productive today in the kitchen. Bryan grilled burgers and weeners and I made sweet potato fries and pasta salad to go with them. I also made a key lime pie that turned out to be radioactive green. Bryan and Jacey got a big kick out of it..ah, at least it tasted good!

Anywho, I am about to head to bed…it has been a LONG day. I also updated the website if you want to take a peek. I was quite dismayed though to see that I have only been taking a handful of pictures here lately..must get back in my picture taking groove. I have new lenses for my camera coming in on Tuesday though, so hopefully having new toys will help:-)


I gave in to the recent challenge I have seen EVERYWHERE it seems…to take a self portrait. I don’t love it but at least I don’t hate it!
