OMG! My life is better than yours!!!!
You may or may not know that I quit Facebook several months ago. I do not miss it. At. All. Last week my mom, Mary, wanted to show me some pictures posted on her FB of her and my step-dad dancing (my mom is waaaay into country dancing), so she gave me her login info.
(just for fun, here is a picture of my mom and Eric dancing)
So for the first time in months, I got on Facebook (or as Matt calls it "Divorcebook").
Even though most of my mom's friends are weirdos from her church and I am less than interested in knowing what they are doing, curiosity got the better of me and I scrolled through the posts.
This little particular gem (accompanied by about a million pictures) caught my attention: (this was posted by a relative).
Missing Maui, 2 weeks in paradise was not enough. I can only post these because we are leaving for Paris, Monte Carlo & St. Tropez in a week so its not too depressing. :' (
Tell me: Is that normal behavior for a 40 year old woman? LOL. OMG! I am tagging her as an idiot. I hope she gets poked (in the eye).

In other important world news, Kelley over at Kelley's Breakroom tagged me on her blog. Since I know you are dying to get to know more about me, I am playing along. Well sort of. I only feel like answering 2 questions.
What song reminds you of a childhood memory?
RUN DMC-- "Mary, Mary, why you buggin?"
Get it? That is my mom's name. HAHA and that is the ring tone for her on my cell phone. When she calls me, I let it ring for a while so I can do a litte dance.
In case you forgot or are too young to remember, check it out. Hilarious.
"We is aerobaciscing"
Oh, and there was "ITS TRICKY" by you guessed it RUN DMC. I love that song. Oh and who could forget "YOU BE ILLIN."
Damn they don't make good rap anymore.
One very vivid memory I have from high school is getting high as a kite with my friend Dana and lying on the floor in the dark listening to Thomas Dolby "ONE OF OUR SUBMARINES." (We still laugh about that 25 years later).
Trust me that song is much better if you are high. (for some reason I can't embed the video. Damn you Dolby).
UPDATE: Speaking of old skool rap, I had to include a favorite rap song from early college. One day I was watching this video and Chase was all "WHAT THE??? " It is awesome! I still know all the words : )
I really hope to find an occasion where I can revisit those dance moves.
Favorite Movie Quote?
That would be from the quotable and hilarious movie STRIPES.
Psycho: The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.
Leon: Ooooooh.
Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.
I love to say "Lighten up Francis" when someone is wiggin on me. I also like to say "touch my stuff and I'll kill you." That was great to use on my siblings back in the day when I was listening to RUN DMC.
Side note: When I met Matt, at around our third date, he used the "lighten up Frances" line on someone in front of me. I knew it was True Love in the making!

Okay - I am like totally buggin'! I love love love RUN DMC and also wonder what happend to rap music...and my Mom's name is MARY and I now need to download that ringtone. ;) Also - I ALWAYS say "Lighten Up Francis!"
When we first got HBO they played Strips like 9 times a week. Love it!
and yes that woman is an idiot. I cannot stand people like that.
You were the perfect person to pick for the questions!! I knew it! I didn't realize you were such a thug. A thug on drugs. Word.
- Francis
My mom's name is Laraine, and we used to take the Milli Vanilli song and sing "Blame It On Laraine."
OK, that was...er...ah...different... I'm from the era where you can whistle a song you like... but great fun discovering this about you... boom-a-chica boom-a-chica... come visit when you can...
Lamalamalmalamasemalamadumalama. Yeeeeeeahhh, booyyyyyyyyy. Good call, Lori.
SUPERSONIC! And your sister-in-law is a total moron, but I'll look for her in St. Tropez. As long as she's in the high stakes royalty room in Monte Carlo we'll probably see each other.
And based on the title I was kind of expected a little Kanye with "My raps is better than yours..."
If I could say I just left Maui, on my way to the South of France and Paris, I would. Every. Day. Word to yo Muther.
love, love, love RUN DMC. and i still sing that stupid-ass supersonic song. it'll just pop up in my brain and i start singing it like a silly white girl.
and stripes is a classic. i can relate to francis with people touching my stuff.
you're awesome.
Mommy Lisa- you have to download that ringtone. it will make you happy.

Kristina- hilarious.now I am going to be singing that all week.
