Vintage Thingies Thursday

I am once again participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday hosted by the Apron Queen.



I was actually digging around in my garage looking for something else when I happened along these treasures.
These frisbee looking things are vinyl record albums for the youngsters, like my daughter that are asking. This and a record player are how we listened to music when I was younger, before the 8-track, cassettes and cd's. And the other things the technically challenged like me don't have.


This one I played My Boyfriend's Back over and over.



I loved to watch Shirley Temple movies, so when I got the record I was a singing fool.




Lastly, my all time favorite!!!!
When my Grandma gave me this for my birthday I was ecstatic.
I seen this in the theaters nine time and to this day it is still my all time favorite movie.
The movie also started my life long love affair with John Travolta.
I wanted so badly to go to Rydell High.
Oh, Danny Zuko could have had me at the drive-in!!!

Two for One

The boyfriend shall now be referred to as 'Cookie'. This is because I am tired of typing the boyfriend and he is the cook of this household. Now mind you this is probably not the name he would choose for himself seeing how everyone of his friends call him DOG and that is what he recently had tattooed on his arm but since he has not a clue that I have my own blog he won't know that he has been given a cutsie name. LOL...oh the horror of not sounding COOL.


This is Cookie. He would cringe at the thought of his picture being posted. Look at the talent tho. He loves to grill because not only can he have his beer (which is a necessity when cooking) but he can have a smoke too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess this shows my age.
I opened a shirt I had bought from e-bay and was looking at it. This is the conversation I had with the Diva.
Diva: What's that?
Me: A shirt.
Diva: What does it say
Me: You won't want it
Diva: What does it say
Me: (turning it toward her) It says BLONDIE and Debbie Harry (it also has a picture of her)
Diva: Who the heck is that
Me: She is a singer of some awesome music
Diva: I have never heard of her, is she still around, do people still listen to her?
Me: Well yes, I do
Diva: You're old tho
I guess I am going to have to duct tape her to a chair and make her listen to The Tide is High, Call Me, Heart of Glass, and Rapture and whatever other song I choose for calling me old. This child has no clue.

Boring Blog

I have nothing so this is going to be boring, like my weekend. I have literally spent my whole weekend with books. Not the fun mystery or trashy novels NOOO, I have been reading Anatomy and Physiology and Concepts to Math Applications. Blaaah.

I have a test in math that I am bound to fuck up. I am in overload trying to memorize conversions and about 25 formulas.


I have already spent about 15 hours on my anatomy homework which is just a little over 1/2 finished. I keep asking myself why I chose to take classes in the summer.
Finals are next week and I will have a two week break before starting all over again with a heavier schedule, not to mention work starts too. This is really infringing on my blogging time.

YUMMY Rum Runners

I went to pick the girls up Monday after school from Ma's the Rock got home a few minutes later. Ma asked him to puleeeze make her a drink. I guess the angels themselves were stressing her out...can't figure that one out..haha. Anyway she wanted a daiquiri. Urgh..Brought back memories.



The Keeper and I along with our husbands went to the local Tiki bar some years back.
We noticed this beautiful new machine that was pouring out these yummy looking frozen drinks so of course we had to try one. Oh, the frozen concoction was just what we needed. They were so YUMMY and went perfect with the hot evening. We preceded to drink these and we were liking them more and more and feeling better and better. We drank more than our fair share of these but damn they were good.
However, our fondness for our favorite new drink was short lived. I don't know what happened, oh wait yes I do. We decided we had enough drinks to strap on our armor and get into a riff with these other girls. Well our husbands had different ideas, apparently it was time for us to go home so we reluctantly went our separate ways bitching and moaning because we weren't done.
On the way home I decided I was feeling a little too warm so I started removing whatever clothing items I could first the shoes, then the shirt, then the pants. I was down to my bra and undies by the time we got home and I was still sweating like a pig. So now was time for the rest to come off, mind you we lived in town, not a real busy road but light poles everywhere so there was plenty light for anyone around. By the time I got to the front porch I was in the buff, pucking up those yummy rum runners, waiting for my husband to come let me in. What the hell was taking him so long? I laid on the cold concrete slab and decided I didn't care it was cold and felt good. My plans were to remain out there for the evening eventually he carried me in tho.
I called the Keeper the next morning, she too had gotten sick. Boy was her husband Pissed. You see they had just got new light green carpet installed and apparently the rum runners stain red when you puke them up all over your new carpet.

It is now about 17yrs later an I still have not had a frozen rum drink and due to gravity the clothes stay on until in the confines of my home.

Christmas in July

My cats were fighting on top of the china cabinet so I reached for my camera but they were done by the time I stood up. So, looking at the cabinet I decided to take the picture anyway because LOOK....I still have my pretty blue Christmas garland with the lights hanging up there.



Obviously I have had to move it for some reason or another because there is only part of it hanging. So I just move it around, hell with taking it down now Christmas is only 5 months away or maybe I can say I am celebrating Christmas in July. How pretty.
Saves me time for

drinking

shopping on Thanksgiving weekend.

Questions

Why is it regardless, a Man will ask you if you know where something is?

Even if he already knows, if he has already looked in the spot where it is, if he knows where it should be, or even if it is staring him in the face he will still ask this question.
Is it something in the genetic make-up of him or is this something he is taught by his father? Does he do it to see if you will actually stop what you are doing to come and help him? Is this how he judges whether or not you are truly there for him?

And while I am at it why does he call out to you and then not respond when you say, What? He actually sits there and waits for you to come to him to find out what he needs when he could have just said it at a higher tone. Does he need that face to face contact in order to speak? He sure as hell didn't when he called my name. And if you don't go to find out what he wants, does he just give up or does that thought just go away? Maybe I have I proved myself unworthy?

Is it just me or could somebody please shed some light on this for me?
