Missing Caylee Anthony

Well I didn't want to post about this but feel compelled with all the events recently. I live on the street over from Cindy and George Anthony, the grandparents of missing Caylee Anthony. If you haven't heard of this national story, you can read history on this site http://www.wftv.com/.

I am trying to remain positive that the innocent, beautiful little girl Caylee is still alive but the recently released evidence certainly doesn't point in that direction. The mother, Casey seems to have no feelings or emotions that her daughter is missing or possibly not alive. Why?Why? Why would she lie? Her story from the very beginning has lead the Orange County Sheriffs department on a wild goose chase. Casey's parents have changed their story numerous times.

A little girl 12 years old who lives in a town nearby arranged a vigil on her own for Caylee. After learning of the recent evidence of finding decomposition in the trunk of her mom's car; she is now in the hospital on stress induced conditions.

My heart is sad; please give your kids extra hugs and kisses tonight; children are innocent.

Say an extra prayer tonight.

WTF

Dear Neighbor

Why must you insist on parking in front of my mailbox? Why? You have your OWN driveway in addition to your OWN garage yet you park in front of my mailbox. Don't you think the postal workers have enough stress than to have to drive around your car and get out of their little truck to deliver my mail? I am sure you don't think of this in your daily life but really; park elsewhere. I would truly appreciate your efforts.

Sincerely,
Your neighbor

PS Why do you and your wife drive the exact same color and model of a car? Just curious.

(and yes I did leave this note on their car except the PS)

My Lucky Day


I have been wanting this dress for a long time; I haven't been shopping in about 2 months...you know trying to save money. So my husband realizes what a good girl I have been and says..."this Tuesday you and I are going to go shopping, you can pick out a new dress and a pair of shoes" (what women doesn't want their husband to say this to them)...soo Tuesday night we drive 25 minutes to drop the kids off at my mom's and proceed to the closest mall. Even though I don't believe my dress will be at this mall, my husband says we can go to the "M" mall; I reply "it's too far and then to drive all the way there and then back to get the kids"...he replies "I don't mind; let's have fun." I insist on going to the closer mall; we go in and I look; no dress...can't find shoes either...I love funky shoes so just to buy a pair for the hell of it. (I have 100 pairs already...yes I hoard shoes) so he says "let's go to the "M" mall; "Ok" I replied...so here we are fighting traffic and driving 30 minutes to this mall...no dress...I ask the women behind the counter "oh we sold out" ofcourse you have...so he says "you just want one particular dress, what about all these other ones". "No I just want this one". The awesome husband that he is says "well if I would have known I would have called around and found out who had it and had them put it on hold" (he is awesome isn't he)...so I bought nothing and we had a wonderful $85 dinner at the Cheesecake Factory...drove back to my mom's house in a storm at 9pm to get the kids (on a school night) and went home.

I work near the first mall we went to so today on my lunch hour figured what the hell; I am sure I can find something. Well Macy's had a Labor Day sale and I was browsing the clearance racks and what do I see...ofcourse my dress...1 left in my size (but I was just here last night; is this real, how could this be). It was calling out to me "pick me pick me, here I am...wear me wear me" I was sooo excited that I had to let the sales associate know my treasure find and she could care less...but I have it...and I tried it on and it looks perfect! And to add to the excitement; it was $30 off...it was on SALE!!! WOOOHOOO.

What can I say...maybe I will try 2 for 2 and play the lottery tonight!

Thanks to my awesome hubby...

I Wish I Could...


Sing...Yes I wish I could sing. I always have and always will. Before I turned 30 I would tease my husband and tell him I was going to try out for American Idol. He was supportive but more so supportive in the fact he didn't want me to be embarrassed let alone embarrass our family. But deep down inside I love singing. I think I sound good during our Playstation Rock Band sessions; well maybe because we have already had a few drinks.
I love how you can be driving home listening to the radio and you just hear that song that makes you feel all good inside; just makes you wanna dance.
Sooooo....since I can't sing, I figured I would start playing the piano. Yep I signed up. I start the 2nd week in September. Maybe once I actually learn "keys" I may be able to learn to sing and sing in tune...I know it's a long shot but we can dream right? Just think even if the singing thing doesn't work out; I can play the piano at Christmas time right? My son is also going to learn as well, that way we can start a band together. I will play piano and he will sing (because he actually does sound good).
Thanks MamaKat
