NCAA Bracket

So, I am pretty darn sure that I am about to win the NCAA pool at work. After the wins tonight I have it in the bag!!
I have FL and Ohio going to the championship.
Fl Gators going A-L-L* T-H-E* W-A-Y.
I am kinda excited; there is $130 to win...whoo hooo! I never win anything

I know you cant see this well, but if u click on it; you can see it much much better!!

A couple Redskins fans

In case any one was wondering both of my fly brothers have been Redskins fans for a very long time as these pics show.
The back of Mikes pic said he was 8 and you have to look close but in the Santa pic with me and Kev his sweet vest had a Redskins patch yo.

By the way Melissa, I would love to visit, but Im scared Mike is gonna punch me in my head!! OUCH!!

Peace and Redskins grease :)

Dog walk

Just a quick post.
It is springy up here and I am fat so I took Lilly and Oliver for a quick walk tonight after dinner. They were both very well behaved. Then we have a pic of my mothers deck...do you like what she has done with it?? She added "kick finials"

This is why, this is why, this is why im hot

Since this is MY blog I thought I would post some pics of me with some of my all time favorite people.
I know what your all thinking...Am I gonna be included? To that I say this.
You still may be one of my favorite people, I just may not a have a pic of us together on my computer that doesn't make me look like a re-re

Me and my sis in law; Mo

.Me with Em and Paige in da hot tub

Me and my lil bro Kevin a couple yrs ago

Me and my mama

Me with Jake on my 30th b day

Me with my cousin Stevie

Me with my 3 favorite little girls

Me with the bestest friend ever; Mary

Me with my cousin Jenna

Me and my pops

Me with Em

Me and my brothers


Actually, after posting these pics I have come to 2 conclusions. 1) Most of my favorite people are my family members and 2) there is NO pic where I DON'T look like a Re-Re.

1st day of spring and ANOTHER birthday for Melissa

So, today is Melissas 31st birthday. HAPPY FREAKIN BIRTHDAY!!
All your extended family here in Maryland LOVE AND MISS YA!!!

I'm really starting to spoil ya'll

Spoil you in 2 ways.
1st being I am finally posting and 2nd I am giving ya'll a treat. PICS OF ME AND MY BOO BOO.
I love my 2 cats, I really do; BUT I have discovered I am more of a dog person. So, here are a couple of pics with me and my love Lilly Maria Conchita Esmeralda Eagney; or Lilly for short. I wanted be authentic and give my Chihuahua a Mexican style name...
I hope that my Florida peeps can notice my sweet nose piercing in the last pic. Thats why I added it in.

BTW...speaking of FL...Mike...if your gonna "hit me in the head when I come to Fl"...I guess I just wont be able to ever come visit until you forgive and forget!

Blake keeps me hanging on!!

Who ya gonna call??

So, we have a pink lady that lives under the sink.

I have pictures to prove it.

Here they are...


Be afraid, be very afraid!!

My brothers are SOOO good looking!

Since I posted some old school shots of me, myself, and I....I wanted to post a couple pics of my totally awesome brothers!!
There is some hell to pay if Kevin actually checks this (he says he doesn't) since he would HATE to have his pic posted for strangers (and even family/friends) to see.
There is a senior pic of Mike along with a totally intimidating hockey photo.
Then there is Kevey when he was no more than 12...before ALL of the facial hair!!.

Who's that girl??

So, at the ripe 'ol age of 31 I feel O-L-D!!! It sucks. I know in theory I have many years to come, but I feel the best is now behind me. In "best" i mean looks. I do NOT claim to be a beauty queen but there is a great thing called youth and I feel that has passed me by....I'm sad to see it go. I saw these pics sitting at my mothers so I took the time to scan them...to remember....my youth :(
Anywho....these were my senior pics. They were taken approximately 14 YRS AGO....Damn, that's forever ago!!
Lets dissect, shall we. I had the bangs, but who didn't...poofy hair was just on its way out...it was 94. Then we have the icky poo lip stick...what are ya gonna do? Then we move onto the eyebrows...sooooo bad....The nails were terrible too.... BUT; at least no wrinkles!!
I do, however like the "pearls"...lent a bit o class.....HA

Who is this pensive girl??

Who is this scholar??

Who is this girl in feathers??

who's my boo boo?

I just love my Diddy Boo (Lilly)
I mean really who could not love this adorable little bundle??
The 2nd pic is cute....she is laying there sleeping like an angel...adorable!!
I thought it was time she got some mad exposure!!

I know its been a while since I posted, OTHER than my earlier post about my DUMB A** computer. My computer is killing me. I want to give a HUGE shout on to my bro Mike for trying to help me. I do appreciate it!!
There is something wrong and I cant install anything new....I bought a web cam so that i can chat with Mike, Mo, and the girls. The problem is I cant install the newest version of MSN messenger and it was enough to get me pretty frustrated!!
Other than that I have been keeping busy with work. Volume has picked up and my days are crazy!! After work I run an errand here and there and then I am home, beat, ready for bed....I know....exciting!!
I would probably post more if I had anything worth posting.....kinda have the blahs so there isn't anything here....booo!!!

So, what's new you ask...???

I HATE MY COMPUTER!!!!

Punishing Your Human Being

POODER HAS IT DOWN!
Sometimes, despite your best training efforts, your human will stubbornly resist bending to your whim. In these extreme circumstances, you may have to punish your human. Obvious punishments, such as scratching furniture or eating household plants, are likely to backfire--the unsophisticated humans are likely to misinterpret the activities and then try to discipline YOU.

Instead, we offer these subtle but nonetheless effective Alternatives:
*Use the cat box during an important formal dinner.
*Stare impassively at your human while it is attempting a romantic interlude.
*Stand over an important piece of electronic equipment and feign a hairball attack.
*After your human has watched a particularly disturbing horror film, stand by the hall closet and then slowly back away, hissing and yowling.
*While your human is sleeping, lie on its face.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

Today marked our first snow of the 06/07 winter season.

I had NO idea it was supposed to snow...I walked out of Giant around 1:00 and it was snowing. I came home and looked up the weather report online and we were in the middle of a winter weather advisory...WHO KNEW??

Its very cold...I heard somewhere in the 20's...soooo its going to be a great commute in the morning...yuck :(

But I have to say...I don't mind the cold or the snow...I don't know if you know this about me, but I don't spend much time in the great outdoors so its all good!

Here are a few pics....these were taken outside my moms back door.

Peace and winter wonderland grease!

There looks to be about an inch or so on the deck....this was taken at around 6:00pm

Action shot...Oliver loves to play in the snow

Again; Oliver...he sure is a cute boo-boo

This pic isn't so great, but you sure can see the snowflakes in action

New shows

I never claimed to be a good writer so no judging a hoe...
I wanted to take a minute to tell ya'll how super excited I am for the new season that just started on TV.
I guess its kinda lame that I am so happy for new TV shows to start. I, however cant help being me.
This new season so far includes my personal fave, 24, followed by American Idol, and finally The Apprentice.
24 is so damn action packed that I can hardly take it. I am always gasping and acting a fool....again I cant help it.
Keifer was never a person I cared for or followed, then I got hooked on this show and I am a huge fan. He is super macho and even his low whisper doesn't irritate me like it would with almost any other actor.
Then we move to AI...Its a huge hit so its not like I have tapped into a little known show; but I just cant wait til Hollywood. I kinda dislike the auditions. I like it when it whiddles down to an amount of people I can remember and follow.
Once America starts voting I cant miss a minute, I vote, I have favorites and i LOVE the show!
Lastly there is The Apprentice. I never have been a Donald fan and I cant even now say that I am his fan. But his show does entertain me. I enjoy the tasks and the boardrooms. I enjoy either rooting for my favorites or hoping that a person I hate hears "your fired"
So....I am now booked Sun thru Wed with these shows...I mean what else am I gonna do mid winter??
Again...this was probably making ya'll sleepy, but these are my writing skillz...what did ya think??
NO, wait don't tell me...ignorance is bliss :0)
Peace and TV grease!!

Happy 12th Birthday Sean

Today was gorgeous...It was warm...I had to turn on the air on my way to Kathy's. Its 59 now at 9pm so I can only guess that is was almost 70 during the day.
Why was I going to Kathy's you ask?? Well, today we gathered to celebrate Sean's 12th birthday.
Sean picked steak for his meal. Kathy also made twice baked potato's, spinach, biscuits, 2 kinds of salads, and a chocolate cake...ALL SO GOOD, and ALL SO FILLING!
The day will be be complete because I have a date with Jack Bauer tonight...Oh how I have missed him :)

Sean blowing out his candles

Sean looking at his new video game from his mom-mom and pop-pop

Sean's b-day tree....its full of pics of Sean

New Blogger Look

Soooo; I have a new look to my blog by accident....Don't ask.
Anyway...I will find a better suited template eventually.
:)

Im ritch bitch!

So, I FINALLY rcvd the check from the state for the last month I worked at my last job!!

That's really all I have, just wanted to share my good news.

Its going all right

So, Its has been a while since I posted about the whole "work" issue.
I started my new job Dec 6th or 8th...
I like it. It pays and I even tho it has had its rough spots, I like the place over all.

Its in Columbia, about an hr drive. There is a lot of shopping and stuff around it so that's always nice.

My friend Elizabeth hooked me up with the people so a BIG THANK YOU to her.
She was so thoughtful to think of me and help...She is the best!!

So, there really isn't much else to say...Since who knows if people from work are reading this :)

That's all people....until next post :)

Christmas Day at Amy's

Here is a wrap up of all of the Christmas festivities.

Christmas Day, my mother and I went to Amy's and Jeff's to visit for a bit.

Not to be repetitive, but I was STILL not feeling well so we didn't get to stay too long.

I shouldn't have (cuz throwing up spicy shrimp is N-A-S-T-Y) but I did eat some awesome food.

Jeff was the Chef and he had what he now call his "holiday potato's" , shrimp, salad, and a few other things I think. It was lovely...Sean played a holiday tune on the piano, we visited, and there was a festive feel in the air

Chef Jeff and Kathy supervising

Here is a pic of what appears to be Jake passing gas...on my mother...what, what??

Here is Jake making up with my mother for passing gas on her...awww, Im glad she didnt stay mad :-)

Sean playing a holiday tune!! He is pretty darn GOOD!

Pop and Sean...doing a couple of their favorite things...computer for Danny and X Box for Sean
