CAN'T WAIT 'TILL TUESDAY

I've watched American Idol for all 7 seasons and none of them have been as fun as watching this one. Every contestant is unique or just plain wierd. And Nat, I have to say I was sad when little Danny Noriega, you know the cute little red tomato guy was cut. I almost cried. I think it is the mother instinct in me. I hate to see these young kids lose. And as for Kristy Lee Cook, get her off the show. I mean who thinks she can sing? Sanjaya?
Last week was awesome, even David A's weird song. Never heard it, but I really liked it.
And David Cook rocked. I mean wow! And tattoo girl is not my favorite, not bad but not great.
Dread boy, I just want to wash his hair. Ramiele, does she have any other notes besides low ones. And Sayesha.....what are people thinking, that girl can sing. Well anyway, there is DeAnn's complete critique of the whole thing.
On the nicer side, David Archuleta is my fave along with Brooke white, I admit they have both had their bad songs, but on the whole they have always come back and did pretty well. I want David to win. Everytime he sings I think I am nervous as he is. And when he does bad I feel bad. So anyway I can't wait until tuesday. It is the highlight of my life. I probably should get a life huh?

What a day!

I think this house is jinxed! Seriously, I cleaned the wood stove this morning, put the ashes and the soot in a bucket. Turned on the vacuum and blew all the soot out of the bucket with the back end of the vacuum. I was so %^&*****! Anyway, after cleaning that mess up, floor wall, rugs, mop boards, tile, stove (again) I came upstairs and dumped water all over. I took the ashes outside and dumped them out, only to have them all come back in my face. Just as I had finished, the doorbell rings. THE SCHWANS MAN! I yell at Crystal and Rachel to go to the door. I am in a pink robe with a whole lot of black on it. (No BRA) I was not going to the door. Crystal bought us fat free, two for one point fudgesicles. I was so excited that just as the schwans man leaves I open one up and stick it in my mouth, only to get my lip stuck to it. HELP!!!! My baby girls just sits there and laughs. I get unstuck and Crystal decides to have one. She stuck her (WHOLE tongue on it) It is instantly frozen to that wonderful chocolate confection. She couldn't get her tongue off and is screaming for help. She runs to the sink and pours two glasses of water over her tongue and the ice cream. Nothing.................. I go to the sink and tell her to put her tongue under the faucet with the ice cream and it finally comes loose..with hardly any ice cream left on the stick. Her tongue was so red!!!!! Funniest thing I have ever seen. I hope tomorrow is a little kinder to me!

Hey, did anybody miss me?

It's about time don't you think. I told you I was computer illiterate. Did you think I was kidding? By the way Crystal the computer NAZI is watching me and YELLING at me the whole time I am doing this. Ya, like she is so great at BLOGGING! Anyway, here goes................

Lots has been going on, nothing interesting except my new, top of the line, beautiful, shiny white refridgerator. (Shut up Crystal) Lynette and Dustin took a trip to St. George and found it on clearance and made arrangements with my hubby to buy it for me. I would have been happy with a motel fridge, but they wouldn't let me have one. Anyway this is what I ended up with for my birthday. It's awesome. And look how much food it holds. Guess how many weight watcher points it holds, like a trillion. (I know Crystal, leave me alone) A blogging tip for all you bloggers out there. Blog alone!!!!! All this left and right clicking is making me crazy. I mean can't there be an easier way?

Oh crap, I clicked the other picture of my fridge right off of the page. How do I get it back? Oh never mind, Crystal the all knowing will show me. Looking at this fridge just reminded me that it is my 30 minute feeding. Be back in a minute. Just for the record, this is Crystal typing & my mom "makes" me sit down here and babysit her. Right click, left click, double click, enter enter, delete, backspace, space space, copy paste, & a whole lot of swear words is what goes on down here in the basement while she blogs - not as innocent as she claims. O.K, I'm back and well nourished with a 100 calorie pack (2 points btw). And new blogging rule..........No one bloggs on my blog!!!!!So, I think I'll stop for now, but I will be back to wow you with my computer skills and exciting life experiences, maybe even more than once a month.

I've Been Tagged

My baby girl tagged me...what in the h*#ll does that mean? She says I have to list 10 random things about myself, so I'll do my best.

1. While moving to another a house in California, I hid in my closet and ate a hostess pie. When my dad found me in the closet, he just shook his head and shut the door. I was somewhat humiliated. These days, I eat in public.

2. Being the oldest sister, I felt it my duty to keep track of my siblings. After a post -prom party, I insisted that my sister and I go home together. After some choice words, she agreed to accompany me home. As soon as we hit the front yard, it was WWF in prom dresses.

3. I've drank toilet water....no details needed.

4. The first meal I cooked my husband was a cheeseburger. While serving him it slipped off the spatula and across the kitchen floor. I was horrified. He looked at the cheeseburger, picked it up, and ate it. He's always said my floors were clean enough to eat off of since then.

5. This may seem out of character, but I hitchhiked once. It landed me in juvenile hall. I wouldn't tell the officer my name because I didn't want my parents to come and get me. To this day, I hate small rooms and the color yellow.

6. I was the Class A spelling champ of Belknap Elementary. I still have the trophy to prove it.

7. I'm the mother of six beautiful children, two of which I left at Crisps Market. It was hard to keep track of the kids, but I didn't forget my groceries.

8. I stalked my husband for two years before he finally came to his senses and married me.

9. I love Leave it to Beaver and the Andy Griffiths Show.

10. I know I'm too old, but I want to be a contestant on American Idol.

Computer sTeWpiD, and excited to start!!

No really, I am computer stupid and really excited about blogging. My girls talked me into doing this so I'm giving it a try. Where to begin? Me, I'm DeAnn. I'm an empty nester who likes to stay at home and play with my most adorable grandkids - seven of them and one on the way. My hubby Rooster is an engineer for the railroad and he loves to hunt and play with the grandkids also. We are really enjoying spending time together now that all six kids are out of the house. Who knew it would be such a blast? As you can tell from the picture, I have the cutest grandbabies ever and you might get sick of hearing about them as they're my pride and joy. We have little Kendra and mommy living with us now. What a joy they are to have here. I love getting up in the morning to such a happy little stinker. Seriously, all she does is smile! Anyway, I'll do my best to keep you updated and try hard not to embarass my children. NOT!
