This is what the picture on all three of my tv's looks like. I'm NOT happy!

It started acting up on Alivia's tv Monday night and I called and they sent signals to the box and had me unplug it and plug it back in to reset the box but nothing helped, then last night it started doing it on the other two tv's so I called again, again they sent signals and had me reset the boxes, but it still didn't help. The earliest appointment I could get was FRIDAY!! OMG two more days with no TV!!!!!!!! So, last night I thought, oh well, I'll get on the internet-NOPE-it was down too. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, NO TV AND NO INTERNET?!?! WTF!!! Charter installed a box in my basement for the cable and internet, I'm thinking maybe the box needs to be updated, who knows. I guess we'll be watching movies all night and I'm sure that whatever shows I had set to DVR will be lost as well since the signal into the house is bad-GREAT!! Maybe I'll have to actually get something done around the house since I'll have so much free time ;)

good rules!

GAMES FOR WHEN WE ARE OLDER
1. Sag, you're It.
2. Hide and go pee.
3. 20 questions shouted into your good ear.
4. Kick the bucket
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says Bend Over.
6. Musical recliners.
7. Simon says something incoherent.
8. Pin the Toupee on the bald guy

SIGNS OF MENOPAUSE :
1. You sell your home heating system at a yard sale.
2. You have to write post-it notes with your kids' names on them.
3 You change your underwear after a sneeze.

OLD IS WHEN:
1. Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
2. You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

Thoughts for the week:
Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over?
If raising children was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!
Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

Ponderisms: I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Garden Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to? I
n the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?'
Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's ass.'
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?
Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if he's going to look up there anyway?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
But Most Of All, Remember! A Good Friend Is Like A Good Bra. Hard to Find, Supportive, Comfortable, And Always Close To Your Heart!

Birthday Marathon

Today starts the birthday marathon. Rachel kicks it off today by turning the big 3-oh. She's not thrilled so she's going to vegas this weekend to party it off! I'm so jealous. Then next week Mindy will also be turning 30. Then me, but I won't be joining the 30 crowd until next year (hehe!) Then Jenny will join them 2 days after me and Kelly will finish it off in early November. How on earth did I manage to become friends with everyone with a bday in october?!? Funny stuff. Happy birthday to everyone!!!!!

Last weekend we went to my mother in laws in Perryville, we also took my 18 month neice with us. It's about a 2 hour drive. My sister in law let us borrow her portable dvd player for the ride. Alivia LOVED it. When we came back home we didn't bring our neice with us-nor did we bring her dvd player with us! As soon as we got into the car Alivia said "I want to watch a movie" I told her that the tv belonged to Gianna and we had to give it back to her. She was NOT happy. She said "I want my own purple tv for the car" I'm not sure why she decided she needed a purple one. All week she has been asking when we can get one? did you get one yet? can i have one? I finally told her she would have to wait for xmas. She said that was ok. I said "Christmas is kinda far away though" she said "well, we can drive there!"

I did some research to try and find a purple portable dvd player and I couldn't find one. I told her that they only came in black, pink, red, blue and white. She said "umm, I'll take pink" So, I guess I know what she will be getting from santa this year!
