 I got up and said, "what??" And there it was - on the news. In the little left hand corner of the t.v. is a sight I've never seen since living here (over 10 years). Our area covered in white!!! We are in the deep south, 2 hours north of the FL border.  The forecaster says it's gonna snow today!!! It's been raining all morning, a very cold rain, but apparently there is a system coming our way and it will change to snow in the afternoon! I can't believe it.  I've been planning trip after trip to take the boys (I have 3 small ones) to see snow. They've only seen snow on Nickoledeon.  My 5 year old doesn't even own a winter coat, only pullovers, etc.  I've been digging in the closet looking for matching gloves and made sure there are plenty of batteries in the camera (it's run dead before during a major event). Can y you tell how excited I am? I can't believe it.

I've been praying for this and asking God for it to snow. He knew my heart!  Every trip I've planned to go and take my kids to see snow hasn't worked out for one reason or another.  Maybe this is why......I really hope the weatherman is right.....I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ann Currey will be interviewing her tomorrow nite on Dateline

I lived in LA during and after OJ's trial.  I always thought I would see him on the freeway and that I would have to ram my car into his to let him know how I felt.  Well, one sunny day at Venice Beach, I had my chance.  There he was, OJ.  Everyone was like, "There's OJ Simpson, there he is."  He was being interviewed by Ruby Wax of the BBC.  There were four camera-men and four boom-operators following OJ and her around as they browsed the shops at Venice Beach.

Well, for me, it really went into slow motion.  To this day, I still don't know exactly what my plan was.  I start scurrying up to him (which is really funny to watch on the video), I get up to him, tap him on the shoulder, he turns to me and extends his hand.  So, I'm shaking his hand, and as I look down, my brain says, "There should be blood on his hands."  I say to OJ, "I've never shook the hand of a murderer before."  He quickly grabbed his hand away from me and they walked off.

They showed that footage of me and OJ like crazy on the Today Show, Dateline NBC promos/show, and a special on HBO.  I even called NBC to ask them to stop cuz they were only showing the video without the audio on the promos, making me look like an adoring hand-shaking fan.  Katie Couric was interviewing Ruby Wax and introduced me as "that woman who insulted OJ."  My phone started ringing like crazy with all my friends finally now believing me and what I had done.

So now, I'm good with OJ.  He knows exactly how this one little American feels about him. -- my brush with infamy and a true OJ slam.

My 9-year-old son was late for school and had to run upstairs and get his homework.  He was running down the stairs, which he has been told a million times not to, when he slipped on the carpeted steps and proceeded to glide down about ten stairs.  I heard the ruckus and went running towards the sound of disaster.  There lay my son in a heap on the ground holding his side and moaning as loud as he possibly could.  I kept asking what happened and my daughter was more than happy to give me the play by play (with every adjective possible), but her words were muffled under the sounds of his moans.  I thought he must of hit the banister, as he was holding his side in the fetal position, but no one could actually hear my questions over my daughter’s story and his moans, so as loud as I could I bellowed, “What did you hit?”  All of a sudden, my daughter’s rendition stopped, as well as my son’s loud moaning, and all got quiet.  My son looked up at me and very seriously, with a look of utter disgust, said, “The ground!”  In a little under 2 seconds I realized what a silly question that was, but what a great answer!!!  I have just chuckled over this all morning and thought I would share it with all the mothers out there!

P.S.  He is absolutely fine, thankfully, and I do believe making his mother feel like a dimwit was the cure-all!!!! 

I'm one of those tools that's always chipper in the morning doing the ol' "daylight's a' burnin" thing and annoying the heck out of the partying folk who don't get started until noontime. 

I have spent the last 5 minutes trying to get a "hair" off the side of my coffee mug.  Turns out it is a crack.  Then I tried to scratch my back with my pen and the pen fell into my shirt and I can't find it.  It has to be in there somewhere, right?

Do I need new glasses?  Is Alzheimer's setting in?  Oh wait, it's Monday...never mind.

My husband took today and tomorrow off to get the trimwork painted for our new house.  It needs to be done by this weekend -- about 10 bundles of 24 pieces each.

Anyway, we get up this morning and find out the kids don't have school today -- something mechanical at their school needs fixed.  Then, we were expecting a delivery today for the new house from Lowe's around lunchtime.  The guys called this morning at 8 o'clock and said they're at our new house waiting for our signature. 

Anything else?  Oh yeah, I really don't feel motivated to get my lines in -- UGGGHHHH! 

"the cat threw up in the kitchen" right behind my chair!  I guess sleeping in on a Saturday doesn't pay off.  The cat ate too fast.  I guess she was famished.  Well it could be worse right? 

email me and I will forward you this amazingly adorable thing about DOGS.  I am not really a dog person, but after that, I am now! sniff sniff

I would love to share this with everyone. I rec'd it from my aunt this morning.  Looking forward to hearing from a lot of you!

This is the email to use:

In the U.S., this is the most stolen over the counter medication.

Name it.

I have been married 15 years....this morning my husband came in and said, "Eric said your storage building is ready!"  You might think I would be happy.  He thought I would be.  The problem is that in 15 years of marriage I have been able to pick out nothing. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would like an outside storage building.  I mentioned a couple I had seen.  My husband did not discuss it with me at all but went to the neighbor and had him build a storage building. I have no idea what it will look like, no idea what size, what color, anything.  It wouldn't be such a big deal but I honestly don't get to pick anything out. 

11 years ago I had just had a baby and my husband picked out our house while I was home recovering from a c-section.  He told me this was where we were going to live.  He had refused to even look at any of the houses I had liked during my pregnancy.  He told me we would remodel this house any way I wanted, get any furniture I wanted.  I was so anxious to get out of the rundown noisy apartment building we were in that I agreed to move here.  Then of course, no remodeling, no new furniture. 

Three years ago I really needed a new car. My husband said he would start looking for one.  HE would start looking for one for me.  A year later HE had still not found one.  I found a used, reasonably priced car and told him I wanted to buy it.  He said no.  I told him I really needed a vehicle. It was less than $10,000.  He finally agreed but was mad at me for a year over it and told his parents that I had gone out and bought myself "a new car".  It was actually 4 years old.  A year ago he bough a boat for $10,000 that I had never even seen and brought it home and announced we had a new boat.  Six months ago he bought a $30,000 truck and took me to see it at the dealership after he had already bought it. 

So now I am a b*tch for not being happy about the new storage building.  woohoo

local convenience store (Sheetz) sells them in packs of 3 for $1.00.  Love 'em, but nothing beats scraping the pot when it's still warm!!! MMMMMM!!!!
