Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!

Finally, An Explanation!

Assault Charges

At my recent assault trial, I offered a plea of "Guilty, with an explanation. " The judge asked me what my explanation was, so I told my story.

"Your Honor," I said, "I had a mammogram appointment, which I actually kept and I was met with: 'Hi! I'm Belinda!' This perky clipboard carrier smiled from ear to ear, tilted her head to one side and crooned, 'All I need you to do is step into this room right here, strip to the waist, then slip on this gown. Everything clear?' I'm thinking, 'Belinda, try decaf. This ain't rocket science.' Belinda skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors.

With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and said, 'Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in a tad so we can get everything?' 'Fine', I answered. I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck and finish me off? My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other breast wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when we heard, then felt a zap!

Complete darkness and the power went off! 'Oh, maintenance is working. Bet they hit a snag.' Belinda said, and headed for the door. 'Excuse me! You're not leaving me in this vise alone are you?' I shouted. Belinda kept going and said, 'Oh, you fussy puppy...the door's wide open so you'll have the emergency hall lights. I'll be right back.'

Before I could shout 'NOOOO!' she disappeared. And that's exactly how Bubba and Earl, maintenance men extraordinaire, found me ... half-naked with part of me dangling from the Jaws of Life, and the other part smashed between glass! After exchanging a polite 'Hi, how's it going' type greeting, Bubba (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was off. Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as possible 'Uh, yes, yes I did thanks.' 'You bet, take care’ Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though I'd been standing in the line at the grocery store.



Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin. Making no attempt to suppress her amusement, she said, 'Oh I am sooo sorry!' The power came back on and I totally forgot about you! And silly me, I went to lunch. Are we upset?'

And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the clamps...."

The judge said 'Case Dismissed!!'

Calling All Cat Lovers!

I got this in an e-mail today and thought it was worth posting. Apparently getting your Cat painted has became fashionable among the rich. I say the rich because number 1,I have yet to see this in person (I don't have alot of rich friends) and number 2,the tail/tale(pun intended) is that some of these paint jobs cost around $15,000.00. Altho some of these are cute I believe animals are beautiful as they are but with this price maybe I should think about a career change,eh? Oh,I forgot to add that because of their hair growth this has to be done every 3 months. So,what do you think,is this safe for the cats? Would you do this to your furbabies? I don't think I would even if my last name were Trump.

March Madness

Is it just me or is time flying by? I can't believe tomorrow is the the first day of March already. With that comes spring cleaning(oh joy)and in two weeks we have to run the clocks up(double joy). Can you hear the thrill? I wish they would leave the clock as it is. I have enjoyed waking up with the sun but the time change will put me back to getting up before dawn. Ok,I got that off my chest. I have spent most of today making plans for my spring cleaning,what to keep and what to donate(parting with things comes very hard for me). I never need something until I get rid of it or so it seems. But it's time for a change,like moving furniture to new spots and rearangeing all the dust collectors and putting them in different areas and updating the window treatments. I like doing this,it's just getting started and finding the time but at least I have my list made out and that calls for shopping(shopping I love). So hopefully I will get on a roll this week and begin this project that will most likely take me until lawnmowing time to complete. Mowing,wow,I better stop now because I'm about to start complaining again. How long is it till Fall?

Who's Your Pick?

I really didn't get into American Idol last year(had my mind on other things at the time,I guess)but I got around to watching this year. There was/is some amazing talent this time. I have saw many leave that I wanted to stay but in the end my 2 favorites are still standing. I know alot of this is all about who is more marketable,which to me is so unfair after all this is a singing competition not a beauty contest. I prefer the one's that move me. Are you watching Idol this year? If so who are your fav's this time? Are you going to miss Simon? I will.
Do ya love Ellen? I do. Here are my favorites,I wish them luck!





This girl sings from the heart,love her!
