Women over 40

I thought this was funny and so true!! I found it on a message board that I love to visit:
This is for all you girls 40 years and over…. and for those who are turning 40, and for those who are scared of moving into their 50’s…AND 60’s..and for guys who are scared of girls over 40!!!!
Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” She doesn’t care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it’s usually something more interesting.
A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she’s doing.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated. A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn’t trust the guy with other women. Women over 40 couldn’t care less if you’re attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won’tbetray her.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They always know.
A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off if you area jerk, if you are acting like one! You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.
Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Well it has been some time since I posted, no reason really, just being lazy. I got my new vehicle, Matt is in love with it, I don't like the cost of gas for it, but I was do for a new one; just didn't want to have to pay for it. Just made an dr. appt for Nick, he has a knot in his neck and not really sure what it is. I had the girls on Friday night, both were sick. Not much else going on here.

I need to start working out again, I feel like I have no energy now. I am not smoking again, but it is better this time then the others; maybe I will stick to it. I have to go home tonight and bake cookies. I picked a good night since it will be raining. Tomorrow I will make the potato salad for a pinic on Satuday. We better bring our blankets.

There are 50 roses at my desk and I am loving it!!! Paula at my work is having her 50th birthday and her husband brought in 50 roses for 50 people to go by and wish her a Happy Birthday. That is so nice. I am having a hard time letting them go :(

I had a wonderful weekend. I got lots of cleaning to done; which my house really needed. I hope to get some sewing done this week, but I also have to do some decorations and cards for people at work. I finished a rooster hot pad for Christina this weekend and started another one. All most finished with the teddy bear blanket, had to pick up some more yarn on Sat. It has turned out really cute

Just got some wonderful news last night. I am going to be a Great Aunt, but the best part is that my sister will be a Grandmother before me!!! I am excited, but a little concerned since they are living in our rental property which is not in the best of shape because we are not renting it out anymore, wanted to get rid of it. Oh well, they will have to make the best of it since they are living there FREE. I have not been up to much, made a shirt, pillow and short outfit this past weekend. We are suppose to go camping this weekend (in a Cabin for me), but the details are not worked out as of yet. Will keep you posted.

Under Pressure

I have not been a very good mood lately; don't know if it is because I haven't had a day to myself in I can't rememeber when or if it is due to lack of sleep or what. I really have to bite my tongue right now.

Friday, August 18, 2006

Off to Tan-Tar-A for the weekend.

Red Hot Momma

I am sure an idiot. I tanned last night for 15 minutes and now I am paying for it. I should know that if your are as pale as a ghost you need to go slow on your tanning process.

Had a nice lunch today with the people I work with. It was one of our Happy Hour buddies birthday so we all met at The Cheese Cake Factory. I had the Herb covered salmon which was wonderful. We sat across from Tony LaRussa (St. Louis Cardinals Manager). Everyone in the group keep talking about it, I just said leave the man alone and let him eat his lunch.

Life

Sometimes, don't we wonder "What did I do to deserve this", or "Why did God have to do this to me". Here is a God sent explanation!!!

A little boy is telling his Grandma how everything is going wrong.
School, family problems, severe health problems, etc.

Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which, of course, he does. "Here, have some cooking oil."

"Yuck" says the boy.

"How about a couple raw eggs?"
"Gross, Grandma!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Grandma, those are all yucky!"

To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows
that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

Hope your day is a "piece of cake!"

Well I ran in to Chip today, as matter of fact twice. Oh my why can't I just let him go!!!

Nick was late for school again today. Poor kid; car is still not fixed right and last night the truck would not start after work. He is having a bad week already and it is only Tuesday.

My Story and I am Sticking to it
HAPPY SATURDAY!!

Hope yours has been great! Several of you have asked me to share my 'story', so here it is...



It's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

I met him at a party.
There he was at the end of the buffet - a loner,
The last one on the plate.
He had a certain ' something'...
A sweetness...a sensuality.
He was one hot cookie!
I felt as if I'd always known him,
Always hungered for him.
When he looked at me with those warm brown eyes,
I melted,
Before I knew it I had my hands on him,
My mouth on him - IN PUBLIC!
After that night we were inseparable.
With him. I could be myself.
He didn't seem to care what mood I was in,
How I looked,
even if I had gained weight.
Together we had the recipe for happiness.
No One satisfied me like Chip.


THEN THINGS CHANGED...

My friends said he was no good for me.
He started to give me heartburn.
I felt crummy, but it had to end.
Now we've gone our separate ways.
I hardly see him anymore.
Oh, if I see a certain commercial,
A particular magazine ad,
A coupon for 25 cents off---
That old longing returns.
And when we run into each other in the supermarket,
We nod.
We're friendly.
But it's over.



HE WAS ONLY A CHOCOLATE COOKIE...BUT I LOVED HIM.

ugly face

What a bad day. My face is still broke out and itches like crazy. . . it is giving me a headache. Not only do I feel bad, but people at work have to tell me how red my face is. I wished I would have stayed at home in bed.

What a weekend

Went to dinner on Friday night with friends from work for Jit-Wee's birthday.

Everyone at home is sick with a cold. Nick went to a concert on Sat. so I was up late waiting for him to come home. Got woke up early on Sunday morning by a loud truck running in the drive way. So after a while (20 minutes); I went out and turned it off. I think the people thought I was crazy, just reaching in and turning off their truck with them standing there, but I was trying to sleep and they woke me up.

Amdocs Riverboat Dinner 2006





Well I am not a very organized person; I can't even type a few lines in my blog everyday. I have attached some pictures of a dinner party on a riverboat my company organized. I think we gave out too many drink tickets!!! Everyone had a great time. I finished some long bright orange socks for Nick. He wanted them for school, it is his class color. I have not downloaded the pictures of him wearing them as of yet (again with the procrastination). Did some work around the house this weekend, it would be nice if I could get three projects completed every weekend maybe I could actually take a real vacation next year!

Just got back from my annual mamogram. Finally got some rest; I was so tried after our trip to Petersburg IL for Uncle Pauls memorial, but it was nice to see everyone. I wished we could have stayed longer but Matt's back wouldn't allow it. Christina keep Abagail last night, but she slept in my room. She is such a good baby, and just loves to be talked too.

I wanted to take a "ME" day today, but my boss would not answer his phone, so I had to come into work. I would have been a nice day to sleep late, go get my nails done (which look bad), and plant my garden before the boys come home from vacation. I guess that will have to wait, work comes first.

Snakes

Got the Sh*T scared out of me this morning. When to get a sugar package off of the kitchen window seal and saw a black tail. Took a closer look and there was a snake in the window. Went to the neighbors and had Him (Larry) come over and get it out of the house. He said it was a Water Maccasin. Did some research on the Web and it looks just like the pictures on the web. I have no clue how it got in my home. I have calls into a few places to see if I can get someone to come out and make sure there are no more and how it come it.
