TGIF

What a week...It's finally Friday...5QF!

1. What is your worst memory of your siblings?

Leah I remember her crying all the time and being very dramatic about it.  When she was like 6 or so I took my GirlTalk and recorded one of her fits of her "fake crying and wailing"  It only made her madder :)  I used to giggle when she got spankings...she did when I got spankings too though...  Don't feel bad for her because she was stronger than me and would wrestle me to the ground quite often.
I don't really have bad memories of my siblings...

I don't ever remember having any bad memories of Melissa.  Of course our age difference has a lot to do with that...   I do have to state here that my memory is horrible though.. But she was such a sweet child.  I do remember getting onto her onetime and spanking her.  I spanked her too hard and left a red hand print on her butt.  I felt awful and i'm pretty sure I never spanked her after that. 

2. What was YOUR naughtiest childhood memory? (Must be something YOU did, no pawning it off on someone else!) 
Again, I have a horrible memory, or maybe I just block out the bad stuff but I remember putting a quarter in my mouth, and then lying to my mom about putting it in my mouth when she had just watched me do it...I got a spanking.  I'll always remember that spanking too because I learned my lesson and man it hurt...Leah giggled.  Ya know I don't think I lied ever to my mom after that...

3. Where do you like to go to relax?
A bubble bath or out to my front lawn under the oak trees...trees help me relax.

4. What was the last thing you won?
I never win anything anymore. I think the last thing I won was an argument with Sean.

5. If you could be on a game show, which would you choose?
Who wants to be a millionare.
 

So My chickens are starting to flock to me when I walk within their view..  It's funny because they take off running towards me, their heads bobbing back and forth.  It's acutally a little frightening.  I'm not sure why, but they kind of scare me a bit....their beady eyes have no love in them.  If I sit on the front steps they will jump onto my lap/sholder/back/arm/etc..it's quite hilarious

Does this make me white trash??  I think I'm going to try and pull it off as hippy chic instead of white trash...See I'm trying to save the planet and Go Green by laying my own eggs and using chickens to eat the mosquitos instead of pesticide....

Keep my cousins Jason & Miranda in your thoughts and prayers.  If you'll remember their house and cars were flooded in the Nashville TN floods. They are having to gut the house from the water level down..  Here's a photo that Miranda posted on her facebook today...It must be hard for them.

Have a Great weekend!

Can't be Tamed

It's the new Britney Spears!!....does this mean in a few years she will turn into white trash and quit wearing panties??

Miley Cyrus is only 17...I think this video may be a little too much for a 17 year old..she probably should've broken into this a little slower...but I guess her pole dancing to "Party In the USA" prepared us for this..   I thought this was a cool video minus the 17 year old bumping and grinding on the back up dancers. 

I guess Hannah Montana is no more.  Hopefully she can keep herself together and not tank like Britney Spears

5/5

Feliz cinco de mayo!

Quarters

Alright It's Wednesday... I have nothing to blog about..nor any photos to post.  So I'll post something totally random...

When we were little girls we used to LOVE to play at the quarter machines outside of walmart...or any restaurant that had them.  You know what ones I'm talking about?  The ones that had all the cheap toys inside the plastic ball??  And the ones with the "claw"??  I could probably buy a house with all the quarters I've wasted in those machines or at least build a house of stuffed animals because I did have an uncany ability to get a stuffed animal every time in the "claw" machine...  I should put that on my resume under "special Skills...."

So have you ever experienced this??  ...you haven't thought of something in years and then all the sudden the topic is brought up 5 times in a week?  Or haven't ever heard a word before and then you hear it 4 or 5 times shortly after that??  Well this happened to me on the quarter machines last week.  I haven't thought about those things in years and then all of the sudden they are brought up everywhere!  It's like God wants me to think about quarter machines??

This weekend We ate at a restaurant that had a claw and Mom bet me I couldn't get a stuffed animal...and I didn't!!  This was very unusual for me given my past history.  It was like the claw didn't work like it used to...   Then yesterday there was a special on TV talking about how the claw machines are rigged so that when you press the button for the claw to grab it gains pressure to close then immediatley looses pressure so it can't hold on to the prize...what cheaters!!

The second quarter machine flash back I had was when mom brought up the story of the "army man"  I had totally forgotten about this story... You may not find it as funny as I did but you just have to know my sister to find it funny...  This Sister (The "Middle" child)  ha..  See we were at a restaurant and they had a quarter machine.  The front of the machine showed all the cool prizes you might win like a super cool tatoo, or a shiny ring, or some soldier figurines for boys...  I was probably about 8 or so and Leah was 5 ish.  We had gotten a quarters from mom and we got some pretty cool cheap prizes that would probably end up under the seat of the car in .5 minutes... Well  Leah had her eye on something in that machine and apparenly she hadn't gotten it yet with all the other quarters she had spent so she begged for one last quarter to use on our way out the door.  She just knew she was going to put that quarter in and get exactly what she wanted.  

When we got in the car Leah had a pout on her face and was real quiet for the ride home, which was unsual... Mom finally asked her what was wrong and she replied.   "I got a STUPID army man!"  ...I don't know why that makes me laugh but it was just really funny. 

We loved those quarter machines...we colleced smiley face stickers...tattoos to wear on our arms during softball tournaments, and of course wads of gumballs!!

The tattos had to be fierce if we wanted to look cool during softball season!!  The smiley faces went on my mirror and if you had more than your friends you were really cool...

I'm prettty sure gretchen has inherited many of the stuffed animals won at thoses claw machines...most of them are headless :)  

 So was I the only weird kid that was obsessed with those machines???
