Ohhhh, what are Friday Facts?

Do you want to be a member?

"When you put it on...something happens"

Members Only Jackets are back! "That a jacket can have such significance is unusual, but Members Only, the Eighties phenomenon, has maintained its appeal..." If you are still in denial and scratching your head thinking....WTFiddlesticks is a Member only Jacket? Here is a quick refresher:

So they are coming out with them again. They have all new colors and styles. They say that "if you grew up in the 80s, you either had a Members Only jacket or you were a complete and total fashion outcast. Members Only jackets were the staple of 80s fashion outerwear and everyone who was anyone owned one. "

Are you gonna be left behind on the fashion train? The hardest part is picking which colors you want. Remember it is only authentic if it says "Members Only." You can even get the vintage ones on Ebay for around $10! So get your MO jacket, and pop your collar, then drop it like its hot!

The touch of your hand still makes my pulse react...

We had our 6 year wedding anniversary this past weekend. We have been together over 12 years total!! It has gone by so fast. Honey made sure I had a great day. Thank YOU for everything. I feel very lucky to have found my one and only, soul mate, and best friend. Thanks for trying to put a smile on my face this week babe. {Kisses}

Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.

Love is the only kind of fire which is never covered by insurance. Who cares, we didn't. We like our fire, and it will never be put out! Love at first sight is real and happened...at age 17! You know the bravest thing that men do is love women......thanks for being so brave babe.

It's a Dog's life at stake!!

This is for you Kristi! This is a real auction right now on eBay. It reads as follows:

"By buying some pictures of this awesomely cute dog, you will be helping him live. He is in need of severe obedience training or somebody is likely to kill him. I will gladly take any donation to put him through school. Please help, this dog is crazy! But I love him!"

One sob story

Ohhh, I could go on and on. I don't know about you folks, but I am bidding on "One sob story" because it "Also included is the opportunity for buyer to reflect and comment on the poor judgement of seller." I love telling people what idiots I think they are!!! Also I will be bidding on "Empty Hot Pocket" only if it was a Ham 'n' Cheese one though.

Oh, and Andrea.....did you know Montana is for sale? You better get on it!!!!

Just a normal day in Cormac-Land

Yes, I am back sunburn and all. I have been a bad blogger and bloggee lately. Not blogging or commenting lately. I have been just trying to recover, unpack, clean ,and stop my skin from peeling. All just to get ready for the next adventure.
I would like to take this time to reflect on the moment in every parents life.....a time when your child does something a little "odd" or maybe something that just screams "short bus" in your head. These moments can come and go...maybe not on a continuous basis, or maybe they come a little more frequently than you would like to admit. Whichever the case may be, you are not alone.

Things that make this image to the left flash before my eyes, and makes me pray that little Mac-ster will make out in life OK:
**************************************************************************
Catching your son sampling the toilet water he just peed in, "Mmmm, high in vitamins and minerals." You shrug it off as, "Ohh, he wants to be a Biochemist when he grows up."

Or maybe running around naked singing, "BOW-WOW-CHICA-WOW-WOW." You think, "Model or Chip N Dales dancer?"

Also while naked and getting dressed..always joking around asking if you would like to see his butt and mooning you. You figure, "Great a Doctor! He wants to be a proctologists!"
*************************************************************************
These are all examples of a "living in a van down by the river" type of moment. You just pray he doesn't end up living with you till he is 35 years old. (Or as previously mentioned, in a van down by the river)

So I will leave you with a few questions:
What is more interesting or wicked cool? (Shall we say)

The fact that Cormac is sitting naked on his sisters vanity? While playing with his helicopter?Or giving us the Punk Rock Devil Horns with red eyes?Anyone wanna share a "living in a van down by the river" moment their child has had?

Say hello to our little friend.....

So as I mentioned previously, Cormac is no longer chillin with his gnomies. I accidentally threw Scary Harry away. How? To make a long story short..I like to give/throw things away when spring cleaning. We recently went threw all the kids toys to donate to a new church plant (Yes, Andrea this is all your fault:). In the midst of my sorting, I faugly remember throwing him away. That is Ok, Scary Harry kind of had a bad attitude. He always thought he was too sexy for our yard, and refused to work on a daily basis. His protesting is how he then became Cormac's traveling companion. He served Cormac well for a good 3 1/2 years...R.I.P. Scary Harry.

So then I we needed to get him a new traveling companion to go on exciting adventures with, and pose in pictures. While at coast, we picked up a new Bloke to add to the family. Some of you who watched my vacation video may have seen him make a appearance or two. So with out further ado please welcome our new addition to the family:
Ahoy! We got a pirate! Arrgg to all you, my blogger maties. He then of course had to have a proper name, Introducing Captain Joseph Leather Face:He is from the Dominica, and enjoys sailing the briny deep in search of Treasure. Other hobbies included: Sailing around looking for a different kind of "Booty"....wenches, drinking rum, giving people "A taste of the cat" with his Cat o'nine tails, AKA a flogging, Pillaging, teaching deck mates a few chantey's, designing Crow's nests, and lounging on the Poop deck.

Cormac picked him out, should be a good match. He already promised me that if anyone messed with Cormac, he would "feed the fishes" with them. So I feel Captain JL has a lot to teach us. Also, I just love his facial expression. Looks like he is thinking," Begad! This kid again?" or "Bilge! I have to hang with this family again? Better bring some rum."

Here is the lad on his first adventure with the Laybourn's at Otter Rock. "Ayee! Me hearties, them there I see a wee bit of swag! Yo-ho-ho!."
Cormac with his new sea dog:So then we got home and between Cormac and Chloe fighting over our new mate, he got a flogging of his own:Blimey! My head!!Don't worry Captain Leather Face, the ship hands will put you back together. We have to get you in ship top shape. We are heading out today for our next adventure. That is right Ange, I am leaving again. Off to the lake for a weekend of boating. I must reclaim my title for top tuber and knee boarder. Of course we shall see what the shoulder says. I just had my Dr. Auntie come over to the house and put my rib back in..ouch! So we will see if I can claim the title. What is a little dislocated shoulder?

Captain Leather Face will be joining the crew, and may get behind the wheel and take us for a ride. Stay tuned!!!

Spent all week trying to buy illegal fireworks, here is what you missed.

Strap on your imaginary seat belts and get ready for a blogger vacation. What a fun filled, jam packed trip this was. The kids had a blast. We saw lots of great sights. We left for Redmond the first day, and hung out with hubby's brother and his wife. Let the cousins play. Cormac had fun playing With little B and Chloe kept trying to WWE him. Crazy tomboy. We then left the next day for the beach house by Depoe Bay. The kids couldn't wait to check the beach out, and play with their sand toys.

While we were there, we went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, celebrated two birthdays', (Hubby turned 30!) went to the outlet malls, had friends come visti from Salem, ate lots of clam chowder, celebrated the 4th of July, checked out Devil's Punch Bowl, Otter rock, and Spouting Horns, golfing, kite flying, spa, fair, ate more clam chowder, guitar hero, campfire, Forgarty Creek for tide pools, enjoyed walks on the beach, dug lots of holes, saw two whales and a seal lion just outside our house, stalked Jordy's for taffy and Carmel popcorn.

Then everyone left for home, and we had the house to ourselves and relaxed and enjoyed our last sunset. Yes we know it is illegal to light off fireworks in Oregon, but we had Mortars people. We also got to watch the 3rd of July show from our beach. Poor Sir Paul had to stay home *tear*. Long story, but after my hubby had him packed up. We drive off, and I decided I didn't like the new bike rack I bought for this trip...and dropped him off. Also Scary Harry didn't get to come. I think I accidental threw him away....but no worries, we got a replacement over at the coast. I will be introducing you all to our new family member, and try to show you a picture of SH. He is gone but not forgotten.

On our way home we surprised Cormac with a trip to the Portland Zoo. This was his second time there, but he had been talking about the zoo before we left, so we didn't tell him till we pulled up. He kept asking, "What is my surprise?" We had a fun day there. My favorite is always the Polar Bears. We asked Cormac what his favorite animal was and he said the Beavers. What a surprise. So you will get to see all these wonderful attractions at a fraction of the cost! Enjoy.

Gin in my Apron Pocket: I just bought a new mop!!

I got a baby mop today!! Now all I need is a baby. I think I will be buying one the black market so I can put this thing to use. Seriously, this is a real invention. The caption under it reads:

Make your children work for their keep

It then reads- After the birth of a child there's always the temptation to say "Yes, it's cute , but what can it do?" Until recently the answer was simply "lie there and cry", but now babies can be put on the payroll so to speak. Almost as soon as their born.

Just dress your young one in Baby Mops, and set him or her down on any hardwood or tile floor that needs cleaning. You may need to gets things started by calling to the infant from across the room, but pretty soon they'll be doing it by themselves.

There's no child exploitation involved. The kid is doing what he does best anyway, crawling. But with Baby Mop he's also learning responsibility and healthy work ethic.

This new gadget will allow more time for my reality T.V and my little brown jug time. I have to now find a video of this product actually being used. You know, so I can properly operate this device. Does anyone need a infant babysitter twice a week for a few hours? I am now available. Just call ;)

I guess this is what my name means? Thoughts?

What Jamie Means

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Coining a new term in Blogland

As usual I am up to my old tricks and shenanigans again. While I will be bringing you all up to speed with my emotional roller coaster lovely vacation soon. Other things have taken over my brain at the moment. What has been keeping my neuronal synapses firing?

1. I am getting ready to hold auditions for my upcoming MTKiller workout video. Of course I will give first dibs to my MTKiller colleges, but if none of them want to try out...you all will be able to!! You must be willing to wear a flashy unitard. Don't worry, you will have a MTKiller logo tee to wear over it...80's or flash dance style.

2. I also am in the middle of filming and producing my "Sir Paul and Me" music video. If anyone has a scooter or cool bike, and would like a cameo...holla!!!

Also before we get to my trip I took, I have decided to coin a new term in the land of blog sphere. I seem to make up words and nicknames constantly, and am working on publishing my own "Jamie Slang Dictionary." These voices in my head words seem to never stop, however I have come up with a new blog word. This is not just a silly word, but a experience folks. New word: Blogger Vacation

Sounds easy and plain, but really it is a cheap, inexpensive way to view the world and take a vacation. You see, we all read other people's blogs. Occasionally these people go on vacations and they leave us high and dry...and don't invite us to come with. Very rude I must say. Then when they return they post pictures and tell us their traveling tales. At this time you then have officially been on a "Blogger Vacation." So you actually feel as if you went to, but saved a ton of dough. No airport delays or over crowed tourist spots. No standing in line next to the crazy 3 year old who's mom had decided forgo their afternoon nap so he can look at the sea lions. Kinda of like a virtual vacation.

When you tell people about, (i.e the Oregon Coast), how great, fun, peaceful and beautiful the Oregon Coast is they will actually think you went. So then they ask you. "Oh you went there? When?" You reply, "Yeah, I went on a blogger vacation there." Then they give you a weird look, and you just turn and walk away. They will understand one day. You see how this works? What? You raised your right hand again? Well you are on your own now. So soon I will be blogging about my trip, and you all will have gone on a blogger vacation at my expense!! Stellar. So cheap and easy like Tara Reid. I am going to be contacting Blogger.com and informing them of all my coined words.....you know....so they can properly understand how to do their job correctly. Gotta go, back to filming!

I am back from my sandbox

I am still trying to wrap my brain around my trip at this point. I am back to the real world and hamster cage as of Tuesday morning. I have no energy to blog about all the things that happened. Also I am kinda on a "Blogger Strike" due to Miss Savan. She knows why. Any who, I do know one thing that I did not miss on my vacation....T.V.!! Yes folks, I am afraid to say this but...we must kill our television's. It was so peaceful and calming at the coast. The constant background noise of waves crashing. So you all have to watch this video. It is one of my favorite MGM cartoons that we watch on Television about Television! All to true stuff in this sort of T.V PSA. I love all the" _____ of Tomorrow" cartoons...thought I would share one:

Ask yourself not what you television can do for you, but what you can do for your television....like turn it OFF!!! Ok, wait only after I catch up on The Bachelorette's and my other reality junk. Crap, did I just admit that?

Off to soak up the salt water, while it is still free

As I take a break from packing, I am realizing how beautiful this trip is going to be. I will get to leave triple digit weather (That I absolutely can't stand) for cool 60's-70's!!!! Here is some pictures of my new animal house home for the week:This is where I will be self medicating myself with food my view from the dining room:Here is the deck I will jumping of off due to spending to much time with in laws I will be enjoying the sound of the waves from:The path to my escape our own private beach: I bought a bike rack that fits in my hitch to take Sir Paul on the trip. You can't go to the beach with out a beach cruiser!! Woo Hoo!! Then I started getting anxiety that something bad would happen to Sir Paul...like...someones could pass us and pit gravel at him. He then have his mirror broke, or head lamp, or scratch his paints:(( Then I would cry..so I am thinking about putting insurance on him. Nothing is to good for him:) Oh, I will also be bringing Cormac's gnome that I got when he was born. I take it on trips and pose him with Cormac for pictures. I call him Scary Harry!! Everybody needs a little Gnome now and then.

Ohhh don't worry folks. I will have a laptop and wireless to fill all you in on my shenanigans..along with Sir Paul's, and Scary Harry, and Gavin the Great. Wait till I tell my hubby that he also has to fit Gavin the Great into the suburban too!!

Last picture. The view looking down from our beach access...this is going to be my life in less than 24 hours...holla!!!:
