Okay so I've been busy

Well sports and school is in full swing and it's going well. The election is heating up, and I recently discovered CafeMom so I can waste even more time online. Damn that site is addicting!

I'm MojitoMama over there too so look for me! Join me in my very own group--Citizens of Jennsylvania.

See you at the Cafe!

Obama bin Biden

OK it's bad enough the guy's name is Obama (Osama) AND Hussein (Hussein) but Biden (Laden)?

It's just fun to make fun of this, I won't even go into qualifications or intellect!!!!

Primary Elections

I promise I won't get too political on you--at least until the conventions commence, but in these here parts, we have a primary election on Tuesday. And "early voting" is going on RIGHT NOW!

In a "back in the day" moment--I ask WHY? Why do we feel so compelled to make it more and more dummy proof to vote?

If we make it too dummy proof, we'll get more dummys voting. Is that a good thing?

The Fastest Man in the World

Usain Bolt is un-freaking-real! He's Michael Phelps in shoes!!!

Dara Torres is older than me and damn that girl has it going on! I'm so totally going to kick my lazy butt into gear!!

She's a Gator too! Go, Gators!

Sports break off....

The sun is up and so am I!

Actually we've both been up for a while.

Congratulations, MM, you've procrastinated the day away!

Remove the fingers from the keyboard and this will end peacefully!

I'm shutting it down, otherwise the siren song will commence and if I look again I'll be changed into a pillar of salt!

I still think mixed drinks are more delicious than mixed metaphors!!!

Regards, MM

Scandal!

OK who else thinks John Edwards is lying through his you-know-what?

I jokingly called myself a "bottom feeding pus filled boil on the fanny of society" because I'm a lawyer but I've never filed a personal injury lawsuit in my life and don't plan to (unless it will net me a million or more) but John Edwards deserves the moniker, and more for his personal life than his professional!

So there, scumbag! I hope Elizabeth drains you dry! I'd love to be the judge in that divorce trial!!!

Phollow up on Phelps

BTW, admire the guy for his swimming skills and dedication to his sport, super interested in his dining habits, and clearly he's way cuter that what's his face (see prior post)--honestly I have no idea what Mr. JLo's name actually is, although I know he acquiesced to Miss Puerto Rico stealing him from his first wife and then turned the tables on her to take his show on the JLo road--he must have something going on, but I digress.....

Back to my point (get to bed, MM!!!) Phelps is Phantastic, but that Ryan Lochte dude is a total cutie pie and wears the Orange and Blue, so if I had to choose an Olympic swimmer for whom to root.....well...........Gotta go with the Gator!!

Credit where Credit is Due:

Mea culpa, that quote was originally from MSNBC, which was then passed on by Mamarazzi and found its way to Jennsylvania

J-Who?

From my new best friend who doesn't know I exist, Jen Lancaster (of the Jennsylvania blog), here's a tidbit:

"Jennifer Lopez, who appeared on Good Morning, America August 18th to discuss her preparations for the Malibu Triathlon, was overheard saying after the segment that she "couldn't understand why everyone is talking about that swimmer, " according to a GMA source.   "She couldn't come up with (eight-time gold-medal winner Michael) Phelps' name, [emphasis mine] and then she yammered on about how she was the one training for a triathlon just six months after giving birth, and how that was the big story right now, not 'the swimmer.'"

Here's my (I think quite pithy) response:

"Yeah J-Lo even though Michael Phelps is some kind of swimming freak of nature (I mean that in a good way) he's far more of a man and waaaay hotter than your skeevy little runt of a husband!"

Perhaps I missed the point, after all her skeevy little runt of a husband didn't make the boneheaded statement.  How about:

"Hey J-Lo did your brain get trapped in that fat ass of yours?"  Or would that be wrong of me????

Quick Rant

Ok, when you're referencing a direction, it's "to" not "too".

"Too" is a synonym for "also".  "To" is not.

You might be going "through" something, not "threw" it.

When speaking of a group, it's "they're" not "there".

Please people, you're killing me!

Now I think I can sleep like a baby!  Good night!

Insomnia!

My husband is deployed but he's in workup right now so he hasn't reached his "ultimate destination" yet.  For labor day weekend, I'm jetting out to visit him.  Go, me!!

My problem is, I tend toward insomnia at first when he's gone.  I mean, it's freaking 3 am!!!

Damn I'm out of rum!

The New Prozac

A warm bubble bath, a good book, a glass of red wine, and a bar of dark chocolate is the new Prozac!

It's heart-healthy, too!

No charge for this prescription--I'm feeling generous tonight!

Viva Mojito

Ahhh....Mojito.  Your smooth rummy sweetness coats my taste buds with the piquant blend of mint, lime and sugar.  Yikes!  After a couple of you, I can't feel my legs.  And I like it!

The perfect Mojito:

In a cocktail shaker, crush fresh mint leaves, squeeze 1/4 lime, add 1 T sugar (Splenda if you're trying to slim down or have diabetes) and a generous shot of white rum.  Add ice and shake.

Pour into cocktail glass (highball size) over ice.  Garnish with mint leaves and lime and add a splash of club soda.

Voila!  

Observations

People are stupid! That is all!
