ok so i have lived in a few different places (ok i have moved a million times) in my short 30 yrs. and i have seen some crazy weather. alabama has hurricanes, pennsylvania had blizzards and thunder snow (look it up it’s real), but last night totally took the cake, if you weren’t in the Portland/Southern Maine area yesterday you missed a sight!  it was wild one! i was sitting on the couch watching Chopped with my hubby Charles and all of a sudden it seemed like the day turned to night, the clouds were black and the wind started blowing bending the trees like they were straws.

Charles got up from the couch to shut the back door because we knew it was coming. I noticed suddenly there were cats in my lap and for the life of me i couldn’t seperate these scared little guys from my legs for anything! the air became thick as pea soup, i could actually feel the moisture in the air. and then the rain began, the longer it rained the longer the rumbles of thunder began. the thunder was ominous as it crept closer with each strike of lightening.

as i was sitting on the couch i looked up at the skylight and the clouds were moving faster and faster, an eerie hue of green tinted the sky. they meterologist on the tv was telling people to seek emergency shelter immediately!  when the guy on tv tells you to stop watching and run it’s serious business! at this point i was glued equally to the tv and the french doors that i thought were going to burst open any minute. this is it it’s armageddon! the end of the world! kiss your loved ones and say goodbye!

and then just like that it was all over, as fast as it blew in, it blew out. the skies cleared and left an amazing stary night. and today no doubt is God’s way of apologizing. all moring it’s been 60’s and sunshine. but it will be a while before we all stop talking about the storm that rocked southern Maine!

a funny was made on the air about Kiss doing Polka music… just picture it full get up, Gene Simmons lead vocals, Paul Stanley on the accordian, Ace Frehley stand up bass, and Peter Criss on the… clarinet!
it made me laugh so i thought i would share and hopefully make you smile too

on universal sutdios! this friday the new attraction opens…

Harry Potter fans have begun their trek to Florida for the June 18th opening of the Wizardly World of Harry Potter Theme Park. Universal spent $265 million building the attraction. Entrance to the park is $79 for anyone over nine years old and $69 for three to nine-year-olds. Broomsticks sell for between $250 and $300 while magic wands go for $28.95 in the gift shop.

ok so this is one of the funniest things i have ever seen! revolving door humor is great! this is pop sensation Justin Bieber trying to leave the Raddison hotel.

These are weird habits “Cosmo” says he’ll never change:

- They check out any chick who half resembles Pam Anderson.
- They’re gluttons for gross-out humor.
- They always leave a trail.
- Total, utter gadget fixation.
- They’ll do anything on a dare or a bet.
- They can only do one thing at a time.
- Hunger makes them mute.
- They can’t go eye to eye when getting deep.
- They’re Jekyll before sex and Hyde afterward.
- They love to play air guitar/drums/turntables.

well besides if his lips are moving… lol (calm down i’m just kidding)

1.) Covering his mouth while talking. It’s as if they’re subconsciously repressing the untruths they’re spouting. It may be as blatant as completely concealing the mouth or as subtle as a single finger over the front of the lips.

2.) Touching the nose. Scientists have found that lying can cause the tissue of the nose to swell, meaning that a quick stroke could be a sign of deceit (or it’s allergy season).

3.) Rubbing an eye. When lying to someone, the instinct is to look away in shame. Since that is a dead giveaway, many people content themselves with a fast wipe of the peepers.

4.) Touching an ear. Just as you’re suppoesed to see no evil, you should hear no evil as well. These nervous gestures can range from a small rub of the back of the ear to an outright yank of the ear lobe.

5.) Going for the neck. Research has found lying can cause a tingling in the tissue of the neck, leading to scratching or pulling the collar. It signals that the speaker is feeling uncertianty, so be concerned if you see it right after your sweetie announces, “Of course this set of golf clubs, was on clearance, that is the only reason I bought them.”

6.) Shaking the head no while saying yes. If he says, “Yep, I’m getting home late because I have a big assignment to finish” while nodding his head, he is working late. If he sends the mixed message of saying yes and shaking his head no, look for him at PT’s Showcase

there you go ladies hope that helps! have a great day

a.

the awards were great last night, Reba McIntire hosting for the 12 time, and she was looking and acting better than ever. that woman is like a fine wine getting better with age. that’s just my opinion. and the performances were fantastic! Toby Keith and David Koz moved me to tears, when they sang a tribute to friend Wayman Tisdale. and the boys of the Zac Brown Band are over seas lifting the spirits of the soldiers did a via satalite performance. (ok that made me cry too)

there were no bad dresses, i was really impressed. thankfully country music is not the place for “how weird can i dress and get away with it”.
