The economy is so bad that

. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

. African television stations are now showing 'Sponsor an American Child' commercials!

. I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"

. CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

. My ATM gave me an IOU!

. A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.

. I saw a Mormon polygamist with only one wife.

. I bought a toaster oven and my free gift with purchase was a bank.

. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

. McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.

. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.

. My cousin had an exorcism but couldn't afford to pay for it, and they re-possessed her!

. A truckload of Americans were caught sneaking into Mexico.

. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

. A picture is now only worth 200 words.

. They renamed Wall Street "Wal-Mart Street."

. When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room.

. The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.

. Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 trillion disappear!

And, finally.... I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

Photo shoot

I took some pictures the other day! I straightened my hair and put make~up on. I was wearing a sweeter I bought last year that I never wore because it didn't fit. I was going to take it back but my friend Hope said I should keep it because I was going to look like a hottie in it next winter. I tried it on Saturday and guess what I LOOKED GOOD!!! It fit so much better this year then it did last year. I was feeling good and cute, SO I took pictures and here they are!! ( Please excuse the luggage under my eyes )

I heart Her

                                        I am not sure what is up with the bottom of this picture!

Just for a little while

Just for a while you had a shining dream,
Then darkness fell.
All around you, sadness and despair.
No light to guide you; no laughter there.
Just for a while I was your hopes fulfilled.
Then hope was gone.
My soul released from where I did dwell,
Saw your tears and caught them as they fell.
I heard your voices, sweet and warm.
I felt you touch and stroke my tiny form,
Like a butterfly that lives and dies in just one day,
I left the world and gently flew away.
Just for a while I touched your lives with joy,
And then with pain.
But don't be sad, and grieve each coming year,
Just hold each other close and say
Just for a while you had a shining dream,
"Just for a while - our child was here".

My Cousin emailed me this poem. Thank you so much Amy, I love it and just needed to share it!

Angel Food

This is very interesting.
No cheating.

If all of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one)! Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about your pick as it relates to you.

REMEMBER - No Cheating. Make your choice before you check the meaning. After taking this dessert personality test, leave me a comment on what you choose and what you thought of what the dessert says about you.

Here are your choices:



1. Angel Food Cake

2. Brownies

3. Lemon Meringue Pie

4. Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Icing

5. Strawberry Short Cake

6. Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing

7. Ice Cream

8. Carrot Cake

No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully about what your choice will be.

OK -





Now that you've made your choice, this is what the researchers say about you..... SCROLL DOWN---No Cheating








1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.



2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.



3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, fun, & articulate with your hands, you are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher.... But don't try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.



4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation... Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad? However, you are a friend for life...



5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.



6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING-- vivacious, always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.





7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it is baseball, football, basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports... You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.



8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with... People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.



TRY THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS.........INCLUDING ME!

Nothing Much and more

Well, I have to say I miss blogging. I have had nothing way too exciting happen in my life. In Fact, is really really boring. Just been working, which is nice. Because last year at this time I had been off for 17 weeks. This year its been 4 weeks off. Not all at one time 3 weeks then work and then 1 week and then work. I might be back to not working next week, we shall see. Yesterday, was Pregnancy and Infant loss awareness day. I had to work and could not lit a candle for. BUT I passed out some ribbons I made. I have 4 team Kenner Jackson shirt from the March of Dimes walk in 2009. I had some friends wear those.  So I could honer my son. I wish I would have thought about making kyle a ribbon, so he could have worn it to work.
We have less then one month to Kenner's second birthday. I am stealing borrowing this idea from another blogger friend. I would love if you guys could write Kenner's name for me. I am going to make a photo book of all the names that have been written. I would love to add more of them to this photo book. So please send me photos of my dear dear angel baby's name. Mek.is.ntm@gmail.com. His birthday is November 13th.  Thank you so so much. Nothing makes me more happy then to see his name in my inbox. It makes my day.

Freshly Squeezed

Let me say this first, I am fine. I don't want to get chewed out for scaring people.  2 months ago August 3rd, I found a lump in my right breast. I immediately went online and googled what I should do. It said if the lump is still there after your period to then have it checked out! Well I was going to start any day.  SO then a few weeks went by, I told no one. I finally told K about it. And the I proceeded to ignore it again. I finally made an appointment after a month of having it! I couldn't get into the dr for a month. Oct 1st I got in with my Mid-wife, she felt me up. Since I had already waited 2 months she said she wanted to get me in to have an ultra sound done. I was ok, that is fine. While I was  getting my appointment set up I was told that I would also need to have a mammogram done....UGH I have heard nothing good. I got an appointment set up for October 8th, That's today and I went and had a mammogram and an ultra sound and everything is fine. I have nothing to worry about and should not have to have another mammogram for 7 years!! It was a bit scary, but I knew I would be fine. It was way better then I thought it would be. didn't hurt just a bit uncomfortable.      SO what is with my title you say????
