Part of Your World (The Little Mermaid) Mad Lib

I needed something to break up the monotony in my house tonight.  I SHOULD be working but instead I found an online Mad Lib site.  Who didn't love these as kids?!?!

{you have to sing this to the tune of the Little Mermaid}

bolded words are the mad libbed ones

Look at this dog, isn`t it neat?

Wouldn`t you think my collection`s complete?

Wouldn`t you think I`m the house

The house who has everything?

Look at this shoe, treasures untold,

How many wonders can one candle hold?

sleeping around here, you`d think

Sure, she`s got everything

I`ve got cars and trees a-plenty

I`ve got who`s-its and what`s-its galore

You hit thing-a-mabobs?

I`ve got 22

But who cares? No beautiful deal. I jump more

I wanna be where the books are

I wanna see, wanna see `em reading

walkin` around on those

Whaddya call `em? Oh, feet

jumping your fins, you don`t get too far

Legs are required for skipping, dancin`

Strollin` along down the

What`s that word again? lemonade

Up where pencils move

Up where pencils run

Up where pencils stay all day in the sun

Wanderin` free, wish I could be

Part of that clipper

What would I give if I could live

Outta these phones?

What would I pay to spend a day

Warm on the sand?

Betcha on school they understand

Bet they don`t reprimand their blankets

Bright young women, sick of wearing

Ready to stand

And ready to know what the hoodie know

Ask `em camo questions and get some answers

What`s a light, and why does it

What`s the word? yell

When`s it my turn?

Wouldn`t I spit?

spit to explore that shoe up above

Out of pretty lamp, wish frame could be

throw of that couch

{You sang it didn't you -- I did}

{TEE HEE}

Okay - now my fun is done and I'm going to work :(  I hope it made you laugh too unless I'm just deliriously tired right now and I'm the only one that thought it was funny.  Either way flatter me and tell me that you loved it!

Truth For Mature Humans - WARNING, it will make you laugh!

I don't remember where I got this so therefore I can't give credit where credit is due.  If you shared this on your blog please let me know so that I can acknowledge you!

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.


2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.


3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.


4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.


5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?


6. Was learning cursive really necessary?


7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.


8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.


9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.


10. Bad decisions make good stories.


11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.


12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.


13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.


14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.


15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?


16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.


17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?


26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!


27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.


28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?


29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.


30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists.


31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.


32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
 

I Think I Get the Hint...

It's been hot here. Really hot....all over the US it seems. Today our temps topped 102 at 5:45.

  

At around 7:30 a storm rolled in and cooled the air down tremendously.

It's was so nice to get a nice reprieve although tomorrow it will be HOT yet again.  Because of the humid, hot weather most of the lush green yards and flowers are drying up and really showing their need for a break too.  As my neice was leaving the house tonight this is what we found when we opened the door...

My watering can "telling" me that it past time to water my poor flowers!!  This totally reminded us of the swiffer commercials where the old mops are looking on as the mom uses her new mop with ease...

Mind you, this watering can is usually stored on my porch, BUT it is out of the way.  With the storm that rolled in, the wind blew it into this exact position.

My Past Life

Thanks to the iPhone app, A Past Life, I found out a little bit more about myself {this was all just for fun, I don't know if I believe in this stuff or not.} 

"I was born in a Fishing Village in Cornwall, South West England in the early 1600's.


I was the daughter of a local Inn Keeper.  My mother died while giving birth to me.  With no other siblings, my father and I worked the Inn together.  He carried heavy barrels while I worked the taps and entertained the local fisherman with my girlish charms.  Seeing men at their worst day in day out I had no desire for marraige.


Soon after my 25th birthday my father contracted a mysterious illness and died.  I took full control of the Inn and ran it for the next 40 years.  Strong and dominant in the man's world, the local fisherman knew when I called last drinks it was time to leave.


This may explain why I sometimes prefer spending time with male rather than female friends."


Interesting, what do you think?

Encouragement to Begin Your Week

Thanks to my Mother for passing this on to me.  I couldn't resist sharing with all of you!

I love this Chinese Doctor!


Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?


A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it...don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?


A: You must grasp logistical efficiency. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system... Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?


A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit.. Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?


A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?


A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No pain.....good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?


A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?


A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.


Q: Is chocolate bad for me?


A: Are you crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?


A: If swimming good for your figure, explain whale to me..


Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?


A: Hey! 'Round' a shape!



Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:


Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

AND.....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.

CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like.


Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
 

Three New Anita Renfroe Songs - LOVE 'EM

I absolutely LOVE Anita Renfroe!  Here are her three newest videos.  The first two are very fitting for mothers... She hits the nail right on the head - she does it everytime!  She is AMAZING.....

I am STOOPID!

Go HERE to take this IQ test to see where you rank amongst other Americans.  I am 16.2% stupider than other Americans.

Average score is 17.2%, I scored 15%.  Just as a side note, I hate history and always will.  If the test was on anything else I probably would have done much better.

Go Here and take it yourself.  Just don't tell me if you're smarter than me...

Anita Renfroe - FUNNY

Anita Renfroe is hilarious!  If you liked "Momsense" then I'm sure you will enjoy these.  Pull it up on YouTube if you haven't.  Here are a couple more funnies to get your week started.  I hope you enjoy!!

Where's My Gummi Bear?

There it is!!  In that chandelier.....WHAT??  How cool is that?  I looks amazing but I sure wouldn't want to dust it.  According to the website it takes about two months to complete and holds 5000 gummi bears!  They are only going to make 10 so you better hurry over and get yours!  Or not.....  It's neat to look at though.

So maybe that's not your style and you want something a little more traditional.  Here you go!

Oh to feel the gummis underneath my feet.  Awwwww..........

On a more serious note for all you gummi lovers out there, for only $30 here is a five pound gummi bear equal to 1400 small gummies.  I might be getting one of these for my dear hubby for Father's Day.  It's just cool to have around. 

His gummy bear would match my one pound sugar daddy!!

I hope this made your Friday sweet!  I know it did mine...

Smashed Peanut Butter and Jelly - IT'S NEW

James loves making creations in the kitchen and his new one is called Smashed Peanut Butter and Jelly.  He says it is just like "Smashed Potatoes."

Here is how you make 'em (in his own words)!!

First, you cut up bread, any size, but don't leave them not cut up!
Second, you get some jelly.  Then flick the jelly but if it doesn't work, rub it!
Third, you get some peanut butter and flick the peanut butter.  If it doesn't work, rub it!

Daddy said it tasted delicious!!  {smile - wink} don't you just love the minds of little ones...

What's Your Name Mean

Go to Urban Dictionary and type you first name into the search box at the top.  Here is what "Beth" came back with...

"That girl who you just cant find anything to gripe about. Always really nice, but never too nice. Generally quite smart and can be blushingly nerdy, but the type of nerd that everyone loves. Has an awesomely wicked sense of humour that's so witty and can burn people to the ground. Someone everyone wants to be friends with.  A person who is fun and makes you feel all "fuzzly" inside.  A gem like, shim-shimmering like a precious stone, awe-inspiring and captivating."

Hmmmm.....I don't know what to think about some of that..  
Leave a comment below and tell me what your name means  :)
 

Country Life is for the Dud's!

You know you live in the country when you get mail from Progressive Farmer addressed to Milk Dud.  LOL

You've Seriously Got to be Kidding!

Did you know that there is a movement among psychiatrists to recognize internet addiction as a mental disorder.  Well haul me away to the psych ward then because I have a full blown case of it!

In today's age many people look to the internet for a million things.  Let's see what I use my handy dandy computer for.  I'll give you clues and you can decide if I have the "INTERNET MENTAL DISORDER" (said in a deep voice).  It's like we'll be playing Blues' Clues except there will be waaaaaayyyyyy more than three clues and I will be using this computer as my Handy Dandy Notebook.

(By the way we don't watch TV on the internet so by me knowing what Blue's Clue's is about shows that I am not on the computer all the time).  Okay, shall we proceed.

• Of course we have the proverbial Facebook whom almost EVERYONE is on.  This is how I connect with people simply because talking on the phone with a baby, a 6 year old and a teenager around isn't necessarily practical at all times.  Besides if I want to talk, I can and if I don't want to be bothered then no on bothers me :)
• Online banking and bill pay - need I say more!  Who wants to sit down every payday and write checks to a million different companies and then have to get stamps to mail them and get them to the mailbox and HOPE that they get there on time.  Remember I am a stay at home mom so MANY times I pay those things on the day they are due.  I say online bill pay saves my sanity!
• Read the news - who has time to sit down and read the paper only to throw all of it away.  I get to read what I want and there is no waste.  I am being environmentally friendly here.
• iTunes is the only source I have for music.  I love to have music playing in my home all the time and having iTunes (or Limewire - but shhhh...I don't want the internet police on me now) gives me the ability to get any music I want in all different genres without having to buy a CD where I will never listen to any of the other songs.
• Google - remember when you were younger and you had encyclopedias?  Well that is my Google!  I search for anything and everything on there and no it does not take away from me knowing how to spell and look things up.  I am perfectly capable of doing that!  Google has not contributed to the demise of incompetent children.
• Scrapbooking - I love doing all of my scrapbooking and purchasing of my photos online (just remember to save them to an external hard drive - read prior post).  I cherish my photos and having the ability to do even more with them is awesome!  My kids will appreciate it someday.  They won't have to look back like I do at pictures of people I don't even know from who knows when.  Heck my parents can't even remember what the pictures are sometimes.  How does that tell your story to your future generations.  Scrapbooking on the computer is also a lot CLEANER than buying all of the stuff and doing it manually although I do make a random manual scrapbook every now and then.
• The fun one that my teenager hates is that I can check on her school work at practically any point in time and know what is going on.  I am not one of those parents who is ever surprised by anything that may, or may not, come home.  The administrators provide this as a resource to us so by golly I use it to the fullest.  If you're not, you're a fool!
• I also work at home on the computer.  Being a stay at home mom I get to set my hours and work when the kids are at school or they are sleeping.  Granted I love typing but what better way to make a little bit of spending money to make the hubby happy and be able to do it in your PJ's.  Seriously!!
• Blogging - okay so there are a million blogs out there but this is my outlet.  I enjoy it and you can't take it away from me.  If you don't want to read it, just move on but don't tell me that I am looking for something to fill a void.  Are you kidding me!  Can't I just like to write and share?!?!

Okay, there you have it!  A condensed list of everything that I do on the internet or computer.  Now you be the judge!  Is it an Internet Mental Disorder or me just being a normal person looking for better ways to be a better wife, mother, friend, daughter, and sister.  Take it from me, I have learned some amazing things from doing what I do AND it's a lot cheaper than therapy!!

Happy Surfing!!  See you around on this information highway!  I'm not pulling over anytime soon....

Beth Needs

This little narcissistic activity can turn out to be kinda hilarious. You Google your first name followed by the word "needs" i.e., "Beth needs" and see what results come up. A few of mine were not family-friendly blog-worthy, but here were some of the ones that were:

• Beth needs some love here.
• Beth needs structure and parents who will teach and promote responsibility (WHAT?  I'm a parent myself and hope that my mother would have already taught me responsibility?)
• Beth needs a new home (Is that cool or what considering we are in the market for a new home when we sell ours!  Maybe it's a sign.)
• Beth needs to realize she has a problem (Any ideas on what that could be?)
• Beth needs a considerable raise in salary (I'm game for this one anytime!!)
• Beth needs to look within about what she is believing about her weight (Hmmmm......another one that makes me think.)
• Beth needs your help!
• Beth needs a good kick!
• Beth needs to look at the program as a whole.
• Beth needs to focus on her flat and screechy vocals (What??)
• Beth needs to learn humility (WOW - now that's deep!)

This was pretty funny at some of the things that came up that I couldn't post.  Try it yourself.  ENJOY!
