Ahhh Christmas!

The Divorced Barbie Doll

A father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that he needs one more thing for his daughter's Christmas Present.

He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, "How much for one of those Barbie's in the display window?"

The salesperson answers, "Which one do you mean, Sir?

We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.95."

The amazed father asks: "It's what?! Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?"

The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers: "Sir...Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer, one of Ken's Friends, and a key chain made with Ken's balls.



Hehehhe---this is what I get when a friend and I randomly look up Barbie stuff when we were remembering the days when all we wanted to play with was our Barbies!

It Had to Crossover Sometime...



*sigh*
I love me some Jonny.
People that know me...so KNOW this. And well, I had to post it here.
Jon Bon Jovi really knows how to croon out a Christmas song, and I'll tell you one thing.
I WANT TO BE CINDY! (surprise, surprise)
Swweeeeeeet MERCY! That chin scrape thing?
It's starred in MANY a lovescenes in my books because of this video.

12/12/2008 - The Ice Storm



The ice cometh. The ice destroyeth.
You should seee the area. The ice was so fierce Thursday night that it actually cracked trees in HALF.
Power is out for more than half the area--and I do mean MORE than.
40,000 people without power in Albany County alone.

It's ridiculous. I can't even believe what it did to the area at large. The streets aren't icy or snow covered but the trees are. The trees are the ones causing all the trouble.

Bowing into the streets, into houses, onto cars, twisted in powerlines, pinning people into their houses.

It's like nothing I've ever seen.

Trees that are over 30-40 years old are cracked down the middle, exploding out like it was a lightning strike.

Mother Nature was a righteous bitch Thursday night and she was determined to be heard, let me tell you.

We were lucky--power came on late Friday evening while I was asleep. It was so cold and dark--what else was there to do? LOL

Now--all we hear is the sound of chainsaws and diesel engines as the cleanup begins.

A little Funny

I was going through emails today. I found one of those forwards that you forget to delete, but damn if it didn't make me laugh.

And it's SO me right now. LOL



Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning,
Satan shudders & says...'Oh shit, she's awake!!'


PRICELESS!!

50,004 words @ 11:57PM EST

ROCK ON!!!
I did it! I nearly had a heart attack because the NaNo site was freaking out, but I did it!! 50,004 words for the witching out and another couple hundred to make it coherent after the bell tolled.

ALL DONE!
50K words in 30 days.
HOLY FUCK! Yep, gets the big guns!

I truly didn't expect it to be as hard as it was. It was super draining to write THAT much in a month, especially when you fall back a few days beause of family and commitments. WHOOHOO!!! Yay me!

Goodbye COUNTDOWN WIDGET! I loved you and hated you all at the same time.




 

wip - cross purposes

december's project is to get my nanowrimo from 2008 in shape to get it the hell out of here. here's hoping that it is salvageable since I wrote it over a year ago, and boy has my style changed.
