Monday!!!

Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can’t even get into my own pants.

 

Marriage changes passion.
Suddenly you’re in bed with a relative.
I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with “Guess” on it.
So I said “Implants?” She hit me.
 

 

How come we choose from just two people to run for
president and over fifty for Miss
America ?

   
  I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose-fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting clothing, I wouldn’t have signed up in the first place!
When I was young we used to go “skinny dipping,” now I just “chunky dunk.”  
 
Don’t argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Wouldn’t it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press ‘Ctrl Alt Delete’ and start all over? AMEN, AMEN !!
 

 

Why is it that our children can’t read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
Wouldn’t you know it…..
Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever.
 
  Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside?
Bumper sticker of the year:
“If you can read this, thank a teacher -and, since it’s in English, thank a soldier”

 

And remember: life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

Jokes for today:

She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she’d done many times before.  After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, ‘But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!’

#####

My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, ‘62.’  He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, ‘Did you start at 1?’

#####

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair.  As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.  Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings.  As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, ‘Who was THAT?’

#####

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: ‘We used to skate outside on a pond.  I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard.  We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.’ The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in.  At last she said, ‘I sure wish I’d gotten to know you sooner!’

#####

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, ‘Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?’  I mentally polished my halo while I asked, ‘No, how are we alike?’‘You’re both old,’ he replied.

#####

A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather’s word  processor.  She told him she was writing a story.  ‘What’s it about?’ he asked.   ‘I don’t know,’ she replied. ‘I can’t read.’

#####

I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her.  I would point out something and ask what color it was.  She would tell me and was always correct.  It was fun for me, so I continued.  At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, ‘Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!’

#####

When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects.  Still, a few fireflies followed us in.  Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, ‘It’s no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.’

#####

When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, ‘I’m not sure.’  ‘Look in your underwear, Grandpa,’ he advised. ‘mine says I’m four to six.’

#####

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, ‘Grandma, guess what?  We learned how to make babies today.’  The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. ‘That’s interesting,’ she said, ‘how do you make babies?’  ‘It’s simple,’ replied the girl. ‘You just change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘es’.’

#####

Children’s Logic: ‘Give me a sentence about a public servant,’ said a teacher. The small boy wrote: ‘The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.’  The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. ‘Don’t you know what pregnant means?’ she asked.   ‘Sure,’ said the young boy confidently. ‘It means carrying a child.’

#####

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past.  Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog’s duties.‘They use him to keep crowds back,’ said one child.‘No,’ said another, ‘he’s just for good luck.’

A third child brought the argument to a close. ‘They use the dogs,’  she said firmly, ‘to find the fire hydrants…

Gotta love grandchildren!!!!Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!

WEDNESDAY!!!

Got a meeting so just the joke today!!!!!

A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation
was sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat
calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence. So Satan walked up to the man and said, ‘Do you know who I am?’ The man replied,’Yep, sure do.’

‘Aren’t you afraid of me?’ Satan asked. ‘Nope, sure ain’t.’ said
the man.

‘Don’t you realize I can kill you with one word?’ asked Satan.
‘Don’t doubt it for a minute,’ returned the old man, in an even tone.

‘Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for
all eternity?’ persisted Satan.’Yep,’ was the calm reply.

‘And you are still not afraid?’ asked Satan. ‘Nope,’ said the old
man.

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, ‘ Why aren’t you afraid
of me?’

The man calmly replied, ‘Been married to your sister for 48 years.’

HA HA!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why, all I want to know is why me!!!!!

You know, i know it isn’t just me and I know this probably happens more than we would liek to admit, but I swear sometimes I just feel like there sis omethign about me, some vibe I give off that makes people feel like they can jsut say whatever to me!!

So we are in New orleans living it up for my bday,a dn we are riding the trolley back to our hotel after a night of fun on Bourbon Street. So I ahev had 1 drink, that was all I needed, i am sooooo not a drinker so i was good. i only drank becuase it was my bday!!! And while we were on Bourbon this woman was begging for money and of course my baby being the sweatheart that he is gave her a few bucks!!!

Well when we get on the trolley she is on there and comes and sits next to us and starts talkign to me, asking where I am from and what not. No problem idle chit chat never killed anyone so fine. Then she is like “I can tell you like food” I was liek ummm excuse me so she repeated it. I was liek ummm not anymore than anyone else. And she was like then why are you so big! I jsut looked at her and was like what!!!!!!!! She was like “Well why are you so fat if you don’t eat a bunch of food all the time, I mean anyone can look at you and see how fat you are!” I was just like okay conversation over. I was jsut almost in shock. I actually was really proud of myself, i didn’t cry until we were back in our hotel room, but I jsut don’t understand. I have come really far, hell i wonder what she woudl ahev said to me had she seen me before I lost the hundred pounds. It jsut sucks. i don’t understand how people can think behavior like that is okay!!!! It is jsut liek the woman at the Bridal Expo last year who tole me sarastically “Yeah i would like to see you run!”

I jsut don’t understand why people are jsut really rude for no reason. So I am fat okay but does that make me non human. I don’t have any feelings, the fat just makes me invalid of being shown the comon courtesy we should get no matter what.

Of course kris was like baby you are not fat and this and that but he has on those love goggles!!! He was upset with me becuase he was liekw ho cares what some homeless woman thinks or says, but I ahve always kinda beleived in the honesty of strangers. He loves me so of course he no longer sees the rolls of fat!! I don’t knwo it was just hard to get that harsh reminder like that, that no matter how pretty or smart or educated or talented, to a complete stranger, i am still, after all this, still just another fat girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back from New orleans with pictures!!!

So I am back, we had a great time (for the most part, that blog is next!!!!!!!)!!!!!! Here are some pictures!!!

Friday!!!!!!!!!!

Whooo hooo it is Friday!!!!!!!!!! My bday weekend starts today!! This time tommorrow I will be half way to New Orleans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO

How about some birthday jokes!!!!!!!!!!

And the winner is…………………………….

Yeah I know that one is a little vulgar but I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it!!!!!!!!

Also I wanted ot wish everyone a Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!! have a great weekend, I know I will becuase work, pregnant friends, weddign problems all that is stying here in Austin this weekend!! One thing I know for sure it will all still be here when I get back, so it can wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reception Site!!!

Okay so I finally after calling 31 places found a place that had my date available, but it is not the greatest. I am posting pictures becuase I am pretty bummed about it and I thought maybe there were some decorators out there who might have soem suggestions. I mena I spoke with my mom and sister and sent them the pictures, and they think it is okay. I knwo right now it is jsut a raw space and once the cake is brought in and everythign is decorated it will look great, it jsut isn’t turnign out to be the weddign of my dreams, but oh well. I love him and I am ready to be Mrs. Watters!!! ha ha, isn’t that crazy!!! That is going to take some time to sink in. I have had my name for 26 (27 on Sunday!!! Whooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!) years, so nothign is going to sound right to me I guess!!!! Anyways it is more about the marriage than the wedding, the wedding is simply the time to state before God and family and friends that youa re committed, in my opinion. And hey the church is beautiful so it can’t all be perfect!!!!!!!!

It is just liek a really huge house!! The lady seems to think it can hold 200 but I think that is pushing it. If the weather is nice we are going to set up a pavillion and do it like half inside half outside, btu if the weather is bad then we will all be inside. The way I see it everyonewill not come anyway!!!

Here is the shot form the outside!

First half of the “grandballroom” (they called it that not me!!!)

Second half of the “grand ballroom” (it is split by a half wall with a fireplace in it):

The kitchen!! My caterer is going to0 be mad at me, but hey for $1,000 he better deal with it!!!!The only real complaint I have is that it is not closed off or anything!!!

Entryway: where we are going to have the registry book and the gift table:

Dinning room, off the kitchen, where we are going to have the buffet set up and the cake!!!

And now the worst part, well nto the house but the fact that we have to do it this way. The back patio which will have to be our dance floor, if we end up havign the entire thing inside. If we do an outside, then we will definitly rent a dance floor!!!

So that is it!!!!!!!!!! No matter what, i am going to make the best of it!!!!!! I am still really bummed about loosing my original space because it was perfect!!!!!!!! btu this is what I have so this is what we will work with!!!!!!!!!!!Wish me luck!!!
