Pig's Tale

A farmer had 5 female pigs and times were getting tough, so he went to the country fair to sell his pigs. At the fair, he came across a farmer who had 5 male pigs. After talking a bit, they decided to mate the pigs and split everything 50/50. The two farmers lived 60 miles away from each other so they agreed to each drive 30 miles, and find a field to mate their pigs. The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5:00 am, loaded the pigs into the family station wagon, which was the only vehicle he had left, and drove the 30 miles.

While the pigs were going at it, he asked the other farmer, "How will I know if they're pregnant?"

The other farmer replied, "If they're in the grass grazing in the morning, then they're pregnant, if they're in the mud, then they're not.

The next morning they were rolling in the mud so he hosed them down, loaded them again into the family station wagon and proceeded to try again. The following morning, MUD again!

This continued all week until one morning the farmer was so tired that he couldn't get out of bed. He called to his wife and and said, "Honey, look outside the and tell me if the pigs are in the mud or in the field."

Neither one," yelled his wife, "They're in the station wagon and one of them is beeping the horn."

White Knot

I believe that everyone should be able to marry the one they love, no matter the gender. I think constitutional bans on gay marriage are disgusting.

Show your support of marriage equality!

The White Knot is an organization that believes everyone should have the right to tie the knot. The white knot symbol is a combination of two symbols of marriage (white and tying the knot).

My name's hidden meaning

I took this fun little quiz. It was great! I only had to enter one word.

You have to try this.

Your Name's Hidden Meaning

Here are my results.

You Are Gracious and Amicable

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience.
You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along.
But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous.
You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things.
Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.
Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

Holy Wow! This describes me perfectly.

If your name is Elizabeth, you don't need to worry about doing your own. Just copy mine! Lol.

Cracking up.

This is one of the funniest things I have seen. Ever.

Lovely weather here *she says sarcastically*

This was the beautiful (not) scene in Erie, PA today. We got 9 inches of snow today! So many cars got stuck, including me. Not fun at all.

I'll leave you with this lovely picture.

This is one of my favorite screen-shots from my all-time favorite video game. She is Yuna, a summoner, using her summon, Valefor, to escape a forced marriage to Maester Seymour. This picture is a leftover from the days when I liked making MySpace layouts.
Unfortunately, I don't know 4 other bloggers, so I am going to send this to 4 random strangers.

A sandwich walks into a bar. . .

And I emerged from the bat-cave. . .

Today was the first day I left the house since last Monday. Oh, the sunlight! It burns my eyes!

The kiddos were back to school today, which meant I was back to picking them up from school today. I decided to venture forth with half my hair pulled up and not a speck of makeup on my face. I got to the school and realized

I HAD TO GO IN!

Yikes!

My absolute favorite teacher in the world, Mr. Fisher, told me I look like an exhausted college student. I didn't want to say anything, but I have been on vacation for two weeks. Why do I look exhausted??? Argh. I guess the natural look is not for me. The makeup is going on the face tomorrow! Lots of it!

I'm already sick of blogging about not smoking. Still not smoking. There we go.
I had to give Rose her first haircut last night. Taking care of her hair was becoming too difficult. Here is the finished product.


It's a bit crooked, but she is wiggly. I hated seeing all those curls go. Why can't my hair look like that?

Friday List: Tom Cruise

I do not like Tom Cruise. In my opinion, he is just a bit freakish. Actually, the man scares me half to death.
See what I mean? Scary. *shudders*

As much as I love to loathe that man, I love most his movies. He is such a good actor that I am capable of completely forgetting how much I dislike him when I am watching him act.

Tom Cruise, this post is dedicated to you. Here is a list of the top 5 Tom Cruise movies. Well, my opinion of the top 5 anyway.


5. Vanilla Sky. . . David Aames


4. Top Gun. . . Lt. Pete Mitchell


3. Mission Impossible. . . Ethan Hunt


2. Interview with the Vampire. . . Lestat de Lioncourt
(bite me please!)

1. Jerry Maguire. . . Jerry Maguire


Now, let's see yours.
