2nd interview

I have a 2nd interview with the company I am exciting about tomorrow morning.

Let us pray!!

Thanksgiving

Amy hosted Thanksgiving again this year.

When I was on my way home I was thinking about it, even though I LOVE to cook, I don't think I could/would tackle Thanksgiving dinner.

You could tell how much work it took Amy and Jeff....Thanks guys it was delish!

Like I already said the food was great...the company was equally super and then we played a couple rounds of Cranium....Ladies rule :)

Me and Jake...notice his hand....poor fellow!!

My famous Jello...it had orange sherbert and mandarin oranges in it. Apparently Grandma used to make this....Amy and I don't remember having it, but Kathy and my Mama do.

It was super sweet....I didn't love it.

Here is the food...Amy made 2 kinds of almost everything..If NOT everything. 2 kinds of stuffing...potato's, both white and sweet...turkey, cranberries...everything!! YUMMY!!!

The table....cant really see it too well, but it was so pretty...

Desserts...there was sooo many. Chocolate cake, chocolate pie, gingerbread with a lemon sauce, bread pudding with 2 different sauces to pick from, pumpkin pie and Jello...Did I miss anything??

Hot Teacher, sis in law, boo boo

SOOO, my genius sister in law Melissa is now a certified teacher. Aint she a smart booger??
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew you could do it and I love and miss ya and all of that good stuff!

Still unemployeed

I still have no job and I really think that I may just kill myself soon.
Really, I may...NO...just kidding.

In other news I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. Is that really "news"?? No, I guess it isnt.

That's it...no job and I look forward to the holiday...BORING!!

2 sweet A** cats!

I have ONE COOL CAT.
Get it...my cat Pooder is on the refrigerator and it keeps food/drinks cool/cold.
HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

And get this gag...My cat Chloe is CAT IN THE BOX!! Its a play on words for either 1)cat in the hat or 2) jack in the box..YOU decide!
PS...I know I am a retard that should wear a helmet!

Whats this world comming to?

Britney and K Fed are getting divorced and Doogie Howser is a "content gay man".

AND lets not mention that that Resse and Ryan are over as well....sad, sad day!

Its kinda hard to wish for happy endings when the world is going to hell in a hand basket!

My court date

SOOO..here is the story!

Back in April I was rear ended on the way home from work on a nice spring-ish afternoon. It was on 97 and I was hit pretty hard so the cops were called. Once the cops were there they took mine and the BIOTCHS information...
I was told (unknown to me) that my drivers license was suspended. I had NO idea why, how, what, where...I had no idea.
I was given a ticket for driving with a suspended license and I was not even able to drive my car away from the accident.
SO, on the following Monday I called the MVA 1st thing. I was told by Moesha (no lie) that in 2002 I was mailed a notice to go to driver improvement classes because I had accumulated "X" amount of points on my license. I know, I know...your like YOU? NO way!!
Then when I didn't go I was mailed a notice that since I didn't attend the class I was going to have my license suspended....
Here is the kicker....I NEVER rcvd either letter and the MVA knew that (per Moesha) because they rcvd both letters back as undeliverable for some reason. It was ALL on my driving record.
Moesha was nice enough to lift the suspension as I was speaking with her on the phone but that did nothing to change my traffic court issue.
I still had to take the class and then go to court..and THAT was today.
I had a kick ass attorney...she is about my age and is a former ADA...She knew everyone from the judge to the prosecutor to the cop...it went pretty well.
She spoke to the prosecutor and they agreed that the charge would be stayed. It kinda sounds like PBJ (probation before judgement).
If within 1 yr I get no major traffic issues the charge will simply go away. After that yr I can request my record be expunged and that's about it.
A ton of money to an attorney and all ended up fine.

So, that's my story of the day!

MARYLAND...What...what!!

MY friend Pollyanna e mailed this to me...I think I MORE than qualify!!

Mike

Today is my brother Mikes Birthday....

Hope you had a GREAT day!!

My BirF-day!

Yesterday my mother threw me a family birthday get together.
We had the usual people along with one "special" attendee. Sean brought a friend and he either needs a lot of attention or has a major case of A.D.D. or BOTH!
He was nice enough but he was so darn loud I can not accurately explain how the afternoon went. It started out funny, then it stopped!!
My mom made my favorite meal, Chicken Cordon Blue, and my brother Kevin made me a carrot cake, from scratch, thank you very much!
After dinner we played Cranium, Pop 5. It was the 1st time any of us played so it was a slow start, but I liked the game. I think some didn't love it, but I would def play again!
I have lots of money to spend at Old Navy thanks to Jake, Kathy & Danny, and Amy, Jeff, & Sean. I can not wait to go shopping for fall/winter clothes...I will probably go tomorrow!
My mom got me a new XM radio since mine started screwing up. Its a newer model so I am excited to get it all set up in my car and get acquainted with it!
Thanks to everyone for coming, for the presents, and for making the day great!
Also, thanks to Kathy and Danny for the balloons...I really like balloons, they are SO festive! Moms dog Oliver disagrees...He was hating the balloons, he would not set foot into the kitchen all day. It was kinda funny!
AND, a special thank you to my mother. For the day, the dinner, the present, and for the whole life thing!!
Eagney OUT!

In the middle of our roaring Cranium game.

Racism...at its funniest!

A pic of me, Jake, and my balloons.

Kathy and a tooth pickin Danny.

Just me w/ Lilly on my lap reading a card.

Bowie Shout Out, YO!!

On tonight's episode of the new series 30 Rock (staring Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, and Tracy Morgan) there was a Shout out to my hometown Bowie, Maryland!!

Alec Baldwind's character Jack was intoducing Tracy Morgan's character, Tracy, to the the writers of "The Girly Show"

He said...Right this way Tracy, this is Tim Grandy, he's from BOWIE, MARYLAND!



Crazy, hu??

Norm Mcdonald

If you have a minute (and a half) watch this, I thought it was pretty funny!

Gay Harry Potter!

Mo, this pic is for you...I knew it...

Jakes 18th Birthday

This is going to look like Amys blog, but hey...We are all one big happy family after all.

Sunday was Jakes 18th birthday. It was like most get togethers. We, or should I say, I, ate too much, Danny told an awkward, inappropriate joke, and there were many laughs...usually at someone's expense, but that's how we roll!

Kathy hosted and made a ton of food. It was all SOOO yummy...HATS OFF!!

Here are a couple of pics...if you notice the Birthday Princess balloon, I was in charge of the balloons and I just could not resist getting at least 1 girly decoration. Plus Jake is so laid back, I don't think he minds that kind of silliness!!



LOOK ABOVE AND BELOW...Mama and Kathy...what smells...why the sour looks??

The crappy ride home from FL

As promised here is the post on my drive home from FL. I left at 5 am Tuesday morning.
The ride home did not go very smoothly.
I hit an opossum on 95 about 5 mins into the ride. Then in GA I got a speeding ticket at around 7 am.

I was going to go with the usual comment of "I have the worst luck ever" again, but I cant blame these things on bad luck. I probably could have been a bit more calm or whatever to avoid the opossum. Now don't get me wrong, I did try to miss him...Just didn't. Then the ticket.. I mainly used cruise control, but for some reason I wasn't at the time....I don't know.

Then....I felt pretty tired so I drank tons of coffee which meant tons of pee stops.
Speaking of pee stops here is a picture diary I wanted to share with you...

My Hoe's, oops, I mean my Bro's

My Brother Mike was in VA for business so he came to my mothers for dinner. It was fun. Was ate and chatted for a while. Here is a pick of my brothers...Not sure which one will be more annoid that I posted their picture...Oh well...
Sibling relationships - and 80 percent of Americans have at least one - outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, and loyalty.

Job Interview

I am going in tomorrow for the interview I have been looking forward to.
I know this is kinda cheesy and all, but wish me luck.
I hope this works out...I am so ready to get back to work.
My mind is getting even more mooshy and I am bored!
NOT to mention it would be nice to be living off of real money and not unemployment wages.
So, that's all this post is about...I will def let ya'll know how it goes.

PEACE OUT!

We did NOT walk the line

This was my last night in FL.
While Mo, her Mom, and My Aunt Steff took the dogs for a walk, me and the girls partied like rock stars.
We were watching Walk the Line and danced when the songs came on. The girls seem to really enjoy the music.

I just got home this evening around dinner time (more on the trip in a later post) and I already miss my FL peeps. Mo was so good to me and the girls were a joy to spend time with. I only saw my brother Mike a few short days, but he and I enjoyed watching the Redskins actually WIN! Woooohhh!!
ALSO on this trip I was able to have some time with My aunt Steff and her family. That was also a good time. I miss my FL cousins!!

More More More

Here are a couple of pictures of Me with Paige and Sophia. Em is the photographer, she does a great job.

Side bar...IF you ever have the opportunity to make break and bake cookies at Melissa's ONLY make 1 per child...not the whole package. Melissa went on a walk with her mother and the dogs. While she was out the girls and I went ahead and started the cookies. And the little helpers didnt give me the correct instructions...Oh well...no harm no foul.
