I am a Slacker!

Hey peeps!

It's been a few days since I have "blogged." It's been a busy past few days. Shall I recap?

3rd of July: I had the day off from work! Woot, woot! I baked cupcakes in the a.m. and shopped with Nicole and my wild child son, Billy, in the afternoon. Shopping is a wonderful drug. It makes me happy, just don't tell Bill. I then set off to meet Heather (with Nicole in tow) and we cruised on down to Sandy's house, she lives near White Horse Beach in Plymouth. We drank and laughed and watched fireworks and had a grand old time. My child was at his Nana's and the BF was a work. Thanks Nicole for driving my sorry ass! :)

4th of July: I spent a pleasant day at Stetson's Pond in Pembroke. We were at my friend Tommy's Aunt's house. It was a nice waterfront property where the children could play in the water and ride the boats. They even had a hot tub that me and Miriam snuck away to use. The views were nice and it was a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day! 

5th of July: A VERY lazy day for me. I watched my son play with his Slip 'n Slide, as I worked on my tan, which I succeeded in, well kinda. I read a good portion of my book, "Living Dead in Dallas." The book is part of the series the True Blood is based on. So far, I am on book #2 and I am liking it, although, I like Twilight more. :)

Today: Back to reality. Work, work, work. My son got to go to the beach with my mom while I had to work. Boooo.... After work, I met up with my friend Matt who is visiting from Las Vegas at the Cheesecake Factory. Tiffany came along, as well as, our respectful kids - Billy and Zack. It was nice to see Matty boy again! We go back to my working at McDonald's days. Ha! 

Yoga Class #5

Well, I am on my 5th straight week of Yoga classes. I am finding that I am getting more flexible and lean. Such a great work out! I would recommend Yoga to anyone looking to change up their workout routine. 

I have been having hip problems lately. Luckily, with the help of my Yoga instructor, I am working to fix it through stretching.

Here are some poses I did last night:

The Cow Pose:

 

The Locust Pose:

(I like to call in the Superman Pose)

Well that sums up my torture, umm..I mean Yoga workout, for the week. Next week I have the harder lady. We'll see how I do!

On a side note: my cousin Nicole is having a giveaway for tons of free stuff! She is celebrating her 100th post! Woo-hoo. Visit the link below for more info on how to enter! Tell her I sent ya!

All the Small Stuff: In Celebration - A GIVEAWAY!!!!

Freaky Friday

I know that it is Thursday, but what the hell...I couldn't wait until tomorrow for my Friday rant.

**MICHAEL JACKSON**

I was hanging out on my porch listening to WEEI sports radio when the announcer said, "According to TMZ, Michael Jackson is dead."

My jaw dropped... Is he kidding?? Shocker, shocker!

In the past few years, MJ, I will admit was really creepy/weird, but as a child of the '80s he was a HUGE icon to me (and Madonna too). I still listen to his music today, ie. Thriller and Billy Jean. Good bye MJ! Dead at 50. 

Although, I have conspiracy theories...

Perhaps, MJ is now chilling in Tahiti with Elvis and Tu Pac? Something to think about...

(Anything is possible, right?)

**FARRAH FAWCETT**

What a beautiful woman! One of Charlie's Angel is in heaven.

I was so oblivious. 

I knew that she had cancer, but I did not know that she was on her death bed.

RIP Farrah! Dead at 62.

**ED MCMAHON**

Known as Johnny Carson's side kick (Heeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!), Ed died at the age of 86.

Without him, we wouldn't have had Star Search

or those great American Family Publishers (not Publishers Clearing House) 

commercials where he'd hand out large checks to surprised winners.

Fun Fact: He was raised in Lowell, Mass.

Ok. I am DONE talking about death. Here is some lighter subject matter:

**Stoned Wallabies responsible for Crop Circles?**

Ummmm, what?!?! Apparently, Wallabies in Tasmania are getting "strung out" on opium by munching on the poppy fields crops. They hop around in circles, creating crop circles. 

You know, the ones Aliens are usually blamed for?

(This story was brought to my attention from my pal Heather via her uncle.)

**Dumbledore had a baby!**

Well at least the 68 year old actor who plays him (Sir Michael Gambon) and 43 year old set designer Philippa Hart did.

But wait...I haven't gotten to the really weird part...

This is the second child for the "couple" as they already have a two year old.

But wait, there's more...

It seems Dumbledore, I mean Sir Gambon, has a wife (Lady Gambon) to whom he has been married to for 45 years. The wife knows ALL about this 2nd relationship and is cool with it. Apparently, he splits his time between them.... Wow!

**Jon + Kate = Divorce**

It is official. Jon and Kate are calling it quits. May they get peace they deserve to move on with their lives. I will hold out hope that they will reconcile...

That's it for this week. Hopefully we'll have some better stuff happening next week.

PS - 22 days until HP 6!

YOGA - Class #4

Yoga class kicked my sorry ass today. Instead of my nice normal instructor, today I got the Yoga Drill Sgt. She wasn't mean, but boy - are my legs and hips feeling like Jello. I sweated like nothing else. Gross! LOL. So here's what I learned tonight:

The Dolphin Pose:

And the Big Toes Pose:

I am totally going to work for Cirque Du Soleil someday with all these moves I am learning!
