Me's A Busy Bee

Let's brag for a minute.

I've discovered a new passion in the World of Poker. Tournaments. Lately I've been in quite a few. And I have stumbled upon a brilliant strategy that has guaranteed me my money back almost every time (except 2). I'd wager a guess that I've been in at least 10 since about two weeks ago. I won enough to take out my second $20 from the Poker Site. And subsequently drop it into the OTHER site, where the Casino ate it, like last night's homework.

So I'd tell you my strategy but then I'd have to kill you. Just kidding. I can't tell you because then how would I use it against my brother's and Sister-In-Law(s - almost)?? Heh. You're all GOING DOWN! Like Love in an Elevator.

Ok, I hemmed off the last topic. Time to sew some new fabric. Let's talk about Hillary Duff. Yikes! Has anyone seen Cheaper By The Dozen 2? A cute movie; I really enjoyed it. Steve Martin is great as the dad. Much alike his part in Father of the Bride (the man's got a knack for Family Comedy Re-makes!) And the storyline with the little girl and her first crush is just too cute. But poor, poor Hillary! She looks like she's trying to pretend to be Goldie Hawn trying to pretend she's 18. SOOO very scary. I like the old Hillary Duff. The "Really, I'm cuter then Lindsay" Hillary. Somebody bring her back please!!

Know what I really hate? When people take the liberty of saying anything they want under the guise of "I'm just saying it like it is". Listen. If you're one of those people (and to my knowledge, none of you really are, but in case there's a random reader out there...) take my advice. It hurts. Yes, the truth hurts. Much like the saying goes. And that is why you shouldn't always speak it. I don't see why people consider it a commendable trait when someone just opens their insulting mouth and spews forth the "truth" (as they see it). What ever happened to commending a person who has tact? Someone who would say "The black pants were so much more flattering" rather than "Those white pants show off your cellulite." Like anyone wants to hear things like that. And, no one wants to hear things like "Well, maybe the next person they elect can do the job better than you" either. And if that's all you can think of to say, as someone's friend, then maybe you just shouldn't say anything. Trust me. Which reminds me of a song I found on my IPOD...

(Tom T. Hall)

I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow wife

Who had a teenage daughter that attended Harper Valley Junior High

Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play

And she said, "Mama, I've got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA"

Well the note says "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high

It's been reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild

Now we don't believe you ought to be a bringin' up your little girl this way"

And it was signed by the Secretary, Harper Valley PTA

Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon

And boy, were they surprised as Mrs. Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room

And as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the word she had to say

She said "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA

Now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date

And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away

And Mr. Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town

And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down

Now Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he's stayed too long in Kelly's bar again

And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin

And then you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that I ain't fit

Well this is just a little Payton place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrits

Now I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way

That day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA

That day my Mama socked it to 'em at the Harper Valley PTA
