Look-a-like

This was so funny I just had to share :)

This is a Disney Chef...I think his name is Jen??

One of the kids snapped it with my

phone the other day off of the Disney Channel.

They couldn't believe how much he

looked like their dad.

Too funny!

Full & Wider :)

The older I get, the less it takes to amuse me. :)

This morning, I was getting ready to mail out

a pillowcase dress to a buyer on ebay...

When I got to the post office Mrs. Brenda

pointed out to me the last name of the

buyer was... FULLENWIDER

As in FULL AND WIDER? :)

She got me tickled talking about it...

Was this her maiden name?

Did she get made fun of in school?

Was she a bigger lady?

Not that any of that really matters :)

...but now you know that it doesn't take

much to make me laugh.

My maiden name is Newsome...

Seriously?

It's not two weird words put together to

make one...and nothing rhymes with it...

You would think I was pretty safe with

 that one......but...there was one boy named

Chris, who always managed to find something

about me to make fun of and my name was no

exception with him around....he started

calling me Tracy Nuisance.

Which really got on my nerves at the time!

But that was 26 years ago :) 

WOW! I'm really getting old! 

AND I am sure I have been called

worse over the years :)

The biggest thing with my married name is

that it gets mis-pronounced alot.

Does anyone else have a name that people

have made fun of in the past?

BANANAGRAMS!

I LOVE TO PLAY GAMES!

(good games that is)

~and not games where people you play with stand up,

throw down the skip card & yell 'BAM' everytime they

skip you...NOW THAT...makes me very unhappy!

SERIOUSLY?!? It's just a game!

It's not like they are skipping me in real life~

lol

AND~I really don't mind getting skipped...it doesn't

bother me at all...UNLESS you lay down a skip like the

goofball I was just talking about...then, we may have

problems playing together ;o}

While we were in Texas...mom & Kara taught us the game

Bananagrams...and now we are hooked on it!

It's fast paced and you have to think quick...but

I will warn you...if you cannot spell very well...

then you might want to just sit back and watch. There are

two who do not care to play here at our house for that

very reason. (one of them is the skipping goofball I

mentioned earlier) ;o}

Do you have any favorite games? Let me know...I'm

always looking for a new one!

~Numbers Don't Lie~

My mother forwarded this to me...thought I'd share it with ya...

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul,

Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning last November's

Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19    McCain: 29


Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000    McCain: 2,427,000


Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million


McCain: 143 million


Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:


Obama: 13.2     McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain

won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low

income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the

"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of

democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already

having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal

invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye

to the USA in fewer than five years.

Can You Find The Hidden Books...

...Of The Bible?

I ONCE MADE A REMARK ABOUT THE HIDDEN BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.

IT WAS A LULU, KEPT PEOPLE LOOKING SO HARD FOR FACTS AND

FOR OTHERS IT WAS A REVELATION. SOME WERE IN A JAM,
ESPECIALLY SINCE THE NAME OF THE BOOKS ARE NOT CAPITALIZED,
BUT THE TRUTH FINALLY STRUCK HOME TO READERS. TO OTHERS

IT WAS A REAL JOB. WE WANT IT TO BE A MOST FASCINATING FEW

MOMENTS FOR YOU. YES, THERE WILL BE SOME REALLY EASY ONES

TO SPOT. OTHERS MAY REQUIRE JUDGES TO HELP THEM. I WILL

QUICKLY ADMIT IT USUALLY TAKES A MINISTER TO FIND ONE OF

THEM, AND THERE WILL BE LOUD LAMENTATIONS WHEN IT IS
FOUND.A LITTLE LADY SAYS SHE BREWS A CUP OF TEA, SO SHE
CAN CONCENTRATE BETTER. SEE HOW WELL YOU CAN COMPETE.
RELAX NOW FOR THEREREALLY ARE SIXTEEN NAMES OF BOOKS
IN THE BIBLE IN THIS STORY.

Good luck~

~Just for laughs~

My aunt sent these to me today and I

thought they were too cute not to share.

(I may try this next one~lol...but instead of Lasagna I think

I would want them to accidentally bring me some honey 

barbeque ribs and a twice baked potato with extra

bacon~YUMMY)

(I could soooo see my hubby doing this next one!) ;o}

I hope they made you smile!

Have a great night!

Are you easy to make queasy?

I have always had a strong stomach...I suppose my 2

brothers deserve most of the credit for that ;o}

...and then having small children around has always helped...

Especially when you have babies...you have to be able

to handle the unexpected...

You know~((stuff)) being spewed at you at a moments

notice...from either end ;o}

...but since my kiddos are getting older...and the messes

they make aren't quite as disgusting...I have noticed my

stomach isn't quite as strong as it used to be ;o{

Just today...I decided I would save a few $$ by taking

Suzy's staples out myself...it was nasteeee!

I hope I never have to do that again~EVER~YUCK~

They made a little popping sound when I popped them

out~Gross!! ((insert vomit sound))

lol~I don't know how you would spell that ;o}

I didn't really get sick, but I realized that my stomach's

not as strong as it once was.

Once upon a time...when one of the kids would throw-up it
wouldn't make me sick....but now just the thought of

cleaning it up does...

But that's not all...

Being in a dirty public restroom~

Seeing clipped toenail pieces~

Hearing someone snort & cough up stuff~

Seeing chewed up food~

Just to name a few~I could go on~

...but if I do, I will have to take a short break ;o{

So, tell me!

What makes you sick?

I can't be the only mother that gets grossed out!

Can I?

My Name is Tracy and...I'm An Introvert....

I found this little personality test at Klamm Kove I thought it

would be fun to do...although the results weren't surprising ;o}

I am such an introvert!

It says I'm a dreamer and a visionary too...

I would have to say it's right on the money for me....take the test

and see if you agree with your results.

(be sure to read the full profile...it describes your test results)

Dating Permission Slip

I took some random pictures of the kids the other day, loaded them on the computer and was looking forward to playing with them in paint.net when I realized that my kids are growing up way too fast! My baby is 10!

Then it hit me, if she starts dating when I did.....she will be dating in 6 years and if she gets married at the same age I did, she will be married in 8! Time flies by way too fast!

I was thinking about the whole dating issue....I know, it's a little early.....but the whole idea just makes me cringe. Then I ran across this permission slip......funny thing is, I can picture Kayla's dad giving this permission slip out to unsuspecting young men.

I thought I'd share it with you....in case you need a copy ;o}

We 'Yearbooked' the Kids

We have had so many laughs and so much fun playing with

YearBook Yourself that the kids wanted to get in on it.

Yearbook Yourself

I was blog hopping again and found myself at Life's Small Treasures

....that is where I found this! Yearbook Yourself

I love playing with paint.net and photo shop, so you can imagine

my thrill to run across it.

It takes your photo and makes yearbook pictures from various years.

I did myself first....the pictures were hilarious. Well.....they were until I got to 1974 (the year I was born!)

As you will see below, it looks just like me now! Now either they had really

great taste in hairstyles....or I need to update my look. ;o}

Next, I did my dear hubby.....

(he will want to chop me in throat for sure when he sees this post)

No matter what year, he's still a hunk to me!

Here are some of my favorites.







Let me know if you try this...I would love to see your yearbook pictures!

~Nothing~

How many times have you asked a friend or loved one what they want for their birthday just to hear the proverbial, 'nothing'?

No matter what holiday; birthday, anniversary, Christmas......When I ask my husband what he wants,

he always tells me 'nothing'.

Well, I found it.....I found nothing....So this year he may get exactly

what he asks for.

Don't feel sorry for him, I will get him a gift....but he will get 'nothing' first. ;o}

Just For Laughs

A CANNIBAL TRIBE CAPTURED 3 MISSIONARIES: A Southern Baptist, an Independent Baptist, and a Primitive Baptist.
The chief told them the only way they could avoid death was by passing a trial.

Not having any other choice, they all agreed.
The chief told them the first part of the trial was to go out and bring back 10 pieces of the same fruit. The Southern Baptist came back with 10 apples. The chief told him he had to swallow all 10 pieces whole without uttering a sound or changing expression. The Southern Baptist choked on the first apple, so they killed him.

The Independent Baptist came back with 10 berries. The chief gave him the same orders . . . .

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-, then he "busted out" laughing and they killed him.

The Southern Baptist and the Independent Baptist met in heaven.
The Southern Baptist turned to the Independent Baptist and said, "You almost made it, Brother.

Why did you laugh?"

The Independent Baptist said, "I couldn't help it. I saw the

Primitive Baptist coming

back with an arm load of pineapples."
