Blogging Notes 6

Posted on April 26th, 2008 by Jean

This weekend marks the 26th Annual Laughlin River Run, an event which draws an estimated 60,000 motorcyclists to our area.
 

 
We haven’t ventured over to partake because Pearl has an earache & fever, plus the winds have been howling.
 
Speaking of motorcycles, I once had my driver’s license picture taken while sporting helmet hair.
 

 
Yep, husband 2, that bastard, had the bright idea we should take his motorcycle to the DMV.
 

 
My Mom’s home remedy for earaches was melted butter.
 

 
Melt the butter in a saucepan (we didn’t have microwaves back in my day), and pour directly in the ear canal. Cap with a cotton ball.
 
I googled this, and sure enough, it is an old remedy! Right along side blowing cigar smoke in one’s ear, or heating a brick and resting your head on it.
 
Do you have any home remedies to pass down?
 

 
My daughter, Natalie, loves to google images! In fact, she’s the one who taught me.
 
Natalie-ism:
 
Natalie: Mom, spell Barbie.
 
Me: B-A-R-B-I-E
 
Natalie: Mom, spell games.
 
Me: G-A-M-E-S
 
Natalie: Mom, spell balls.
 

 
Houston, we have a problem!

Gratuitous Bathing Suit Blog

Posted on April 20th, 2008 by Jean

It’s my deadline at work, and my working weekend.
 
I took a break from it all on Saturday though since my sister and her husband came to town.
 
While the guys golfed, Sunny and I took the kids to her hotel pool.
 
Normally they would have stayed with us, but we’ve had the kooties lately.
 
I snapped this really cute picture of my sister.
 

 
I think she should use it as her avatar (hint, hint).
 
Natalie played in the waterfall.
 

 
Both girls swam.
 

 
I dunno, I think they had a good time. LOL!
 
After swimming, Pearl wanted to be wrapped up like a burrito.
 

 
Look how our chairs & tables were in the water. Too cool!
 
Note to self: Next time I play ringtoss with Natalie, remember to put sunscreen on her armpits!
 

 
Yes, these bathing suit shots are my penance for posting pics of my friends and family in their bathing suits last week.
 
::: grumble, grumble :::
 
Waitress! One more round of strawberry daiquiris, please! Unleaded for the kiddies.
 

 
And now, I must get back to work. Playtime’s over!

Blogging Notes 5

Posted on April 17th, 2008 by Jean

I once had a kisser who would scrape his tongue on my top teeth.
 
I use a tongue-scraper daily, so I know the gunk that comes off one’s tongue.
 

 
YUCK!
 
Did you ever experience a bad kisser?
 

 
I was listening to Blue Collar Radio. Ray Romano came on and talked about sex after twins. He and his wife now have sex every 3 months. Afterwards, he pays his quarterly taxes. If it’s oral, he renews his driver’s license.
 
In Arizona, our DLs are good for twenty five years!
 

 

 

 
Pearl: Mom, Dad says where’s the camel.
 
Me: Camel?
 
Pearl: No. Camel.
 
Me: Camel?
 
Pearl: Dad says it’s stinky in here.
 
Me: Oh!.
 

(Candle.)
 

 
When I first signed up for MySpace, I would browse the blogs and subscribe to those that seemed interesting (kind of like now, but without word of mouth because I was so new).
 
I subscribed to a Make-Up Blog, and was promptly shunned.
 

 
That particular blogger wouldn’t reply to my questions or comments. Just jumped over my comment and proceeded to the next subscriber.
 
If I ever skip over your comment, it’s unintentional. You may publicly flog me… or just remind me of my brain fart.
