When I feel it....I do it...

Well I'm doing it, writing another blog that is.....

For starters, I just got to see a few more of my wedding pictures and oh hot damn am I excited!  Sarah Wellmeier, you rock! Seriously, one of the best, no scratch that, she is the best photographer around! She, along with her assistant Jennifer made our wedding day flow so smoothly and captured great memories in the making!  Couldn't be happier!

I just got off the phone with one of my very best friends who just happens to live 11 hours away from me.  Usually this doesn't bother me because I know the distance doesn't affect our friendship, but when she is crying on the phone 11 hours away, it makes me want to fly to SC give her a hug then beat the people at David's Bridals rear ends.  To my readers, if you like David's Bridal, the following statements may offend you, apologies.  I have dealt with DB multiple times....I've always gotten my dresses with little to no problems, that's not it.  It's the workers and the customer service I receive when dealing with DB.  If there is one thing that pisses me off, it's when people make you feel like you are the scum on their shoe.  I'm not pointing out one store or one person, just pointing out that their customer service SUCKS!  If I acted the way some people at DB acted, I would be out of a job.  Good customer service brings people back for more business.

If ya'll haven't seen Georgia Rule, watch it.  Georgia is the grandmother in this movie and when she makes a rule she aims for you follow it.  Everytime a rule is made, she says Georgia Rule.  Well every once in awhile, there are Danielle Rules...Doesn't flow as nicely as Georgia Rule, but it works.

Do not snot rocket (I should clarify...do not snot rocket near water....really you are going to lean over the edge of the pool, snot rocket and get back in...there is always residual...I don't want that in the water near me...)  It never ends well for anyone involved, except farmers who have done it their entire lives out in the fields..

When I say stop, or please stop.  STOP!  If said activity does not cease after that, I will become irritated.  I'm not always the nicest when I am irritated.  Forewarning ya'll.

Have ya ever sneezed so hard you thought something else was going to explode in your body??  I don't know about anyone else, but I am one hell of a power sneezer.  I wish I could pull off a small, simple achoo, however that doesn't not work for me.  When I sneeze, my whole body looks like it's performing some techno dance moves.  I HATE the anticipation of a sneeze, it's quite possibly the most annoying feeling one could have.  Currently, I have the urge to sneeze, but do you think I'm going to sneeze?? No, I'm just going to sit here with this persistant am I gonna sneeze? am I not gonna sneeze feeling.

I have been thinking about my Houtsch How-To column....there will be a new one coming soon, just thinking of some real hum-dingers to add the next time....

I could probably stay and ramble on about just about anything, but I must go attend to my domesticated housewife business....

Oh by the way, the fried chicken I attempted turned out alright.  My husband is still alive and breathing...

Have a good one ya'll

The title to my post explains how my day has went.  When one works in a long term care facility more commonly known as a Nursing Home, one never knows what to expect.  I try, to keep an open mind about things knowing there is a disease process that explains why most people in these facilities act the way they do. Today, though I'm not sure that there is any one thing that could explain what happened.  I would tell my fellow bloggers the story of what happened, however 1) that would be a big no no and 2) no one wants to hear what happened (honest!).  Only fellow long term care workers would come close to understanding.  I can't begin to wrap my mind around it.  Although after a nice, long, hot shower I'm starting to feel much better (or, that could be the strong drink I just mixed talking).

You know in my last Houtsch How-To column where I addressed if you  are having a bad day uncork the nearest bottle of wine or go to your liquor carousel??  Well I am following my own advice today.  I got out of the shower, got dressed, and made a beeline for the liqour carousel.  Our carousel currently houses a bottle of vodka, captain, seagrams 7, and malibu mango.  I voted crown, although I'm not sure how that bottle would fit.  If you haven't tried the drink I am about to explain yet, it's a must.  Take 3 shots of mango malibu in a stemless wineglass, add ice, and a splash of sprite.  Stir it up a bit and waaaaa lahh, you have a fabulous drink.

Back to the nursing home story.  It was the kind of day where my co-worker Autumn said she would go home and have a drink for me.  That's true friendship right there folks.  The friends that drink together, stay together.  Or atleast that's what I think.

Happy Groundhogs day y'all.  If I could find that little Punxatawney Phil, I would kick his furry ass.  So we are going to have 6 more weeks of winter?? Fine, but can you add a little snow.  I'm all about this 60 weather in March/April, but not January/February.  This is the time of year for SNOW! If Mr. Groundhog was around these parts, there is no way he could have seen his shadow because of all the fog.  I think this is the first time in all of Pike Centrals years as a highschool to not have a 2 hour delay or cancel school because of fog.  You heard it right folks, Pike Central actually started on time.  I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard it myself.

I came across a person today that had never tried fried pickles.  I could not believe what my ears were hearing....there are actually people in the United States of America that have not tried fried pickles??? They must be crazy! This person was even born in Indiana.  It's my new mission to make sure every person I meet has tried fried pickles.  It's just not American.

I know what you are all thinking, and I agree.  This isn't my best post as of late.  I'm just still a little bit in shock from today.  I know you are all sitting on the edge of your seats in wonderment of what actually happened.  Keep wondering my friends...because this is one little secret I will not tell. Promise.

Since there is only one song that comes to mind after today, I feel the need to share it....

Have a strong drink and a great day,

Mrs. H
