*yes, even those are more appealing right now
A little about me
I "roughed it" in Zihuatanejo, Mexico for three years with my (now ex) husband while we waited for his US visa. Well, we didn't really rough it -- we had running water & glass in the windows, but it was really hot.
He was denied in September 2009 & I returned to Michigan in February 2010, and while our story ended there, mine continues at Hoosblog and my dog, Owen, is documenting his life on Instagram.
I'm no longer posting to this blog, but I'm leaving it online so you can read about our journey. Check out the links under Posts That Explain Things to get the basics, or the tags at the bottom for specific categories.

Count me in for Scrabble. AND a Beastie Boys CD.
You gotta fight... for your right...I hope somebody brings an amazing headache potion.
LOVE this post! So very fun.
Oops... There was supposed to be a paragraph space between my singing and the headache comment...
Then again, maybe the two go together. ;)
ROFL!! Janna, I thought those lines went together perfectly. :D
*puts Janna down for music and Scrabble*
btw, I had a dream last night that you, me, Wendy, and Turkey volunteered to do promotions for an NKOTB concert. L.O.L.
I've got the headache potion, but I am not sure why you want a headache. I work hard to get rid of them.
Also, I noticed you forgot the naked limbo kit. Not to worry. I keep one in the truck for emergencies.
BTW, my word verification is liescode. Lies Code? There is a code? No one told me. Why am I always the last to know?
Allen, I don't necessarily want a headache, but one always seems to accompany these types of parties.
Thanks for the limbo -- a block party isn't the same without some type of limbo.
:roll:
Count me in for 'ambition' some male hula dancers, and an extra toaster oven.
*tosses ambition aside and cozies up to hula dancer*
Oh, rgight.
*plugs in toaster oven to make toasty treats*
Can I come? I'll bring gluten free lazagna and a pitcher of margaritas!
*smacks forehead*
Aimless, how did I forget about the alcohol? Yes! Bring it along!
I would bring scrabble, but Janna beat me to it. So I would love to bring the litter of kittens - yay! And the 30 day shred. :)
I'm ready to P-A-R-T-Y!
I'll bring the Facebooks!* I realized today that I have crossed to the dark side. I used to Facebook for the games and Rocco. Now I Facebook just because I'm addicted, LOL. :-)
* I make no promises to give everyone else a turn.
Count me in for novels and samoas. One last box lingering here, too. :-)
W00t! Par-TAY!!!
You guys rock!
*marks Nadine down for kittens & Jillian, Sara for Samoas & novels, and Spy for multiple Facebooks*
This is turning into one helluva party!
I can bring lots of dirty dishes! Yay! I'd bring a broom, but I just lost another one. How do you lose brooms, you might ask? Seriously. I have no idea.
Robin, I'm assuming it has something to do with those teenagers you were telling me about.
I've got plenty of dirty dishes!
I'm in. I've got construction down the street (hope that fits) definitely dirty floors (thanks to puppy) I also have some hand weights, as long as you don't mind the dust :)
Fun Post!
