Dr. EVIL

I have a couple friends out there that think they are sooo funny. Well let me tell you, it is revenge time baby! Now those of you, who have seen this picture of me, might think it isn’t bad – but it is the story behind it. This is the picture that comes back over and over again to haunt me – THANK YOU DAD. You might have thought it was funny for each of you to post this picture on your blogs at the same time – but just remember I will be getting each of you back. And Christine – don’t worry, I will find something, something good, I have a great imagination! Willy – remember we lived together – I love numerous things I can do to you. Sean, we’re good friends – I didn’t need to live with you to come up with retaliation. Kyle – you’re dead! The sweet Kelly is gone! You best start watching your backs. I know where you all live, Charlie and P-Nut too!

SLACKERS!

We’re slacking People!! There are three people who don’t seem to understand how to create a post. It is real simple – you click on “create post”, type in that little box that appears, if you choose – spell check (I opt to overlook this option) and then click “publish”. I know I know, you three (Willy, Mike, Marty) have troubles with this, but really, it is simple. We just want to know how you are doing. What you thought of a commercial you saw or hear about your dream from that cat nap you took. Just a hello, we aren’t asking you to write a novel – just a little blurb here and there so we know you are still out there. Willy, how many times do we have to read “Pack your suitcase Alice, we’re outta here?” Mike, you could have been to Bannaroo and back three times by now. Did you ever make it back, if so, are you still recovering? Marty, you didn’t want to let Sean down, but what about the rest of us? We’re people too!

Okay, I best get back to wedding planning and work. After this year, I don’t think I will want to hear the word wedding for a very long time!

Love Fern

I have made a couple comments the past couple months and Mike didn’t pick up on any of them. Thursday night Mike came over and we ate pizza while we watched a movie – my pick! I took the opportunity to introduce him to “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” Now Mike is big into sports, and in the beginning of the movie, at the basketball game, when Kate Hudson’s character, Andy, was thirsty and being sort of mean to Matthew McConaughey (Ben) Mike cringed. At this point, he decided he didn’t like the movie at all. To Mike, this was torture. But I got him to stick with it. On my side, I thought he would love it since this movie has 10 minutes tops of any sort of mushy crap – it is all humorous banter between two characters. He began laughing after a bit, and seemed to enjoy some of the horrible things that Andy would do to Ben. And in the end, he said I could call him Mikey Mikey moo moo, moo-moo-moo! (I would say he liked it!)

Friday, I invited Mike over for dinner, a dinner that I would be cooking. I go to the store and get chicken wings, and green beans. Since I have a grill now, I wanted to make wings on the grill with green beans and noodles. Now somebody warned me that chicken takes a long time to cook, so I should pre-cook it. I kinda forgot that part, but since these were wings, I figured we would be okay, it isn’t like they are breasts or thighs or something big, they were little wings. Yea, I was wrong – they took FOREVER to cook. The first batch of two came off the grill an hour later. So we each had one. Then about ten minutes later, another two came off, so we had that batch with noodles. The third batch we had with the beans. The fourth batch – noodles again. Fifth batch, just the two wings. Buy this point, we were getting a little full, plus the coals were getting cold. We ended up broiling the rest of the little wings and sticking them in the frig. I even had desert, so all in all, I would have to say, we prepared an elegant 10 course meal. OH! One more thing. Mike spilled my beer. Now that is just wrong. He has spilled water before, but beer, you just don’t do that.

Okay, Well that is about it for me. Off to bowl – I need to beat a 279.

Words

I would have to say, the conversations being had lately aren't the best. They have really been bothersome. At one point, it was guys complaining about girls. They take to long to get ready, they would like to know about things in advance, yet they want a spontaneous guy. Then it is someone being called stupid. So here is my post.

NEVER do you ever call someone stupid, or an idiot. It is completely unacceptable. That is something that will always stay with that person. I could probably tell you every person that called me stupid. All it does is tare apart that person's self esteem, and it makes them back off and never want to see that person or even think about that person again.

People are letting the most hurtful things come out of there mouths. What ever happened to respecting one another? Helping one another? It seems like all the meaningful things are going down the drain, and all that is left is the hurtful information that you will never be able to forget. Everyone has been told that there is no stupid question or the stupid questions are the ones never asked. Well each day more and more of that is proven wrong. You call someone by the wrong "name" and you have lost what could have been the best friendship/relationship that you would have ever had.

All I ask: Respect one another. Watch what you say; realize how hurtful things can be. Your tongue is the sharpest tool - use it wisely.

Summer Time BBQ's

If you came up and asked me what my favorite holiday is, hands down, it is Thanksgiving. To me it is Christmas without all the gifts. Christmas the meaning gets lost, but Thanksgiving - the meaning remains the same, no matter who you are with. It is time for family and friends to gather and just be happy to share a wonderful meal and each others company. To me summer is also the same.

Summer time is when the BBQ's take place. Who wants to grill out by themselves - yea, not me. What fun is that? You want to share a couple brews with your friends and family, share stories and enjoy a nice game of football or frisbee. Then of course there is a hug feast coming off the grill that everyone enjoys, how can you not?!

This morning I woke up very hungry, due to my HUGE dinner last night. Although, it was a delicious one. My parent's neighbor took us to this nice seafood restaurant for dinner. We all HAD to order our own appetizer (no sharing), then eat the salad and then meal that came. I was STUFFED! But I left with a smile on my face!! Anyway, back to my story...so I get up and decided what needed to be done today. I had to make a return at Target. Since I was there, I figured I should look around a little, it was the least I could do. I remembered I needed some tables for my patio - so I headed off to the outdoor section. Found the tables and the grills! I talked myself into buying a grill. It was a tough convincing on my part: "Kelly you NEED a grill. If I must, I must." So I bought a cute grill. I say cute, because, it isn't full size, but it isn't a table grill. It is the perfect size grill for my little patio! I came home and put my grill together, then decided I needed to test it! So I invited my parents over for a BBQ, after all - it is Sunday, and Sunday's are family days. We had corn, sausage, and hot dogs on the grill and grandma brown's backed beans to go with them. Then for desert I made a Southern banana pie. Very yummy dinner and it was a perfect test for my grill! It did extremely well!

On a side note - It was fun watching this bug fly right into the fire, and then go under the coals. You could here him screaming trying to find his way out. What a dumb bug! IDIOT!

I'M BACK!!!

I am 100% back. I posted a bunch of pictures. Some are new, some are old. The old ones are just classics. The new ones are from Mike's house party and dinner at mom and dad's. Fun times. I hope all the pictures don't bore you - but hey, it is MY blog, so I don't really care if I bore you!!! Yea! Now what are you going to say?!

My Baby!!  

Burger Down Baby! 

Three of my favorite guys lookin, well, there looking alright! 

Hey K! This is you NOT burned!! You're right. All those times you tell us that you don't burn, and we laughed, but you were right. We don't have any proof of you burnt to a crisp day one of vacation year after year. We just dream that up! 

Mike and Mike having a contest - who can finish theirs first.  

This is sowers - he is the one that makes the perfect margaritas!

My blog page seems to be down - not sure why, but it is. But I am going to write anyway.

The past couple days have been frustrating. I took 6 apointments with Comcast to get my cable and internet installed. The fist 5 they never showed up and neglected to inform me that they wouldn't be coming. They had difficulty actually hooking everything up and in the end Mike came over at 12:30 last night to install the internet and make help move my tv back to where it belongs since Comcast moved and and did not put it back. Anywho, long saga but it is now over with. I don't want to even call them or hear their name anymore.

Work is work. Nothing really new there. Lots to do. We are three months away from our Maritime show, so the stress is building again. Right now I can't wait to go home and go to bed. Make some mac and cheese, zweigles hot dogs and put of comfy clothes and do NOTHING! Sounds perfect. Man, I would leave now if i could.

Lunch today was interesting. Shoe shopping with the office manager Ana. I didn't want to go with her alone, so I made this new girl Kerry go with us. Kerry and I ended up looking all over Lord and Taylor for 45 minutes looking for Ana. We were hungry and wanted to head back to the office to eat - but nooooooooo sir - it was shopping whether you wanted to or not! Ana spent 45 min in a dressing room trying on clothes. It would have been nice if she told us. I am glad it is over, but it took all my enegry to go. Now I am just thinking about my couch!

Work,work and more work

Today has been a pretty stressful day. I got to work a little after 8:30 to meet up with Barb. Yesterday when we left, we decided that we were going to decorate our end of the office with the party stuff we used to decorate for our Cinco de Mayo party. So this morning we did that. (It took all of 10 minutes) Then Addy came in and saw us decorating our little hidden area of the office and the three of us ended up chatting until about 10:30. I checked my voice messages and my email - then decided I needed to check my home email as well, you never know who might write that one! I found more interesting emails in my home account - so I decided to keep conversations flowing there. That took me to about 12:30. At this time I decided I needed a break - Lunch time!!! Popped myself a nice big bag of popcorn and headed back to my desk. Now I am singing to the radio, eating my popcorn and planning my afternoon. At three our little end of the office is having our own private party! So that leaves me with close to an hour and a half to get stuff done. I will have to catch up on blog reading, and get some notes out to the fam. I hope I am not forgetting anything. Please let me know if I am. These days are so stressful, it is easy to let something slip by - you know how it goes.

Tonight - dinner. I am thinking pasta. I could go for some pasta. Maybe a little alfredo sause?!

Attack of the Spiders!

It has just been brought to my attention that I have gnarling spiders in my condo! Some may think that this is impossible, but let me tell you , it is not! I HAVE THEM! Although, I will have to admit, they have only snarled once - at least from what I have heard. Here is my story:

Mike and I had just gotten back from the three day weekend at his parents house. He helped me carry my suitecase into my apt and we got joking around. We were laughing over the lines from Madagascar - which, again, was very funny! As we were sitting there laughing, I heard this long, loud noise. Now to me, it sounded very much like the loudest fart I have ever heard. (Sean, louder than yours. Kyle, same to you.) I looked to Mike, and he then told me I have snarling spiders! I didn't know that! When I moved in, I didn't see any spiders of such sort - but I was wrong. I have them. Luckely when they snarle like that it doesn't smell, but man, I was about to blame Mike for what this loud spiders did. This was the first and the last time I have heard these spiders. I just hope that they don't show up again - man that noise was LOUD!
