Since I have teenage boys that I had to keep reminding that Mother’s Day was today, I went out and bought myself a gift, from them. You know, to save them the trouble, right?.

I got a new kitchen trash can. Oh this isn’t just your ordinary trash can! It’s a Simple Human - Fingerprint-Proof Rectangular Step Can. It is by far the sexiest trash can I have ever seen, and I stimulated the economy all right.

See for yourself…

Oh dear God…what path did I follow that made me think a trash can was sexy? Oh I know! The kind where I don’t have to clean dirty ass fingerprints off a trash can path.

If they set this one on fire, they are dead!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there that bite their tongues, hold their arms back from knocking the living shit out of your children, and still wake up in the morning with so much love in your heart for them, that you think it’s going to burst.

Without you I am Julie, but with you I am a mother. The most important name I have ever had.

Excuse me while I make a few phone calls to find out why my 17 yr old isn’t home, and it’s past curfew. *sigh*

celtic shamrock I was very busy at work today and didn’t even get a chance to cruise around the message boards. I miss my peeps! I hope your day was filled with a lot of kisses and green beer! We’re going to The Outback Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate because an Australian restaurant shouldn’t be very crowded on an Irish holiday right? HA!

Did you dance a little Irish jig today?

It’s hard to believe that my oldest son will be graduating from high school next year. If time flies at the same speed it has in the last 17 years, then graduation day should be here in about 8 months. Really! Where does the time go, and can I get some of it back?

I was thinking the other day about plans for his graduation party. I’m not sure if I want it here at the house, or if we should rent some type of small banquet room out at a local restaurant. I guess it’s up to him if he wants just family there, or if he wants to invite his friends as well. I’m sure he’ll want a mixture of both.

One thing that I am going to make the final decision on is the invitations. I want to use photo greeting cards that have his graduation picture on them, like these:

graduation cards

All I need to do is upload or email a high resolution image to CardsDirect and they will print the cards, and add whatever text I want. They will email me an electronic proof of my card to approve before the final printing is done. This ensures I get exactly what I want!

What I was thinking by using these, is that everyone will get to see his graduation picture without me spending a fortune on a huge photography package. I’m so smart like that. HA!

Michael & Jules I got a little side-tracked tonight when my ex assclown boss got arrested and made the news on all the local channels, but I didn’t want to forget to tell all you guys…

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a safe and fun celebration, and this year is the best year that you’ve had ever! We went to the Strip with friends, and had a really good time. The fireworks were beautiful, and I tried to get as many good shots as I could. I’m not real familiar with my new camera yet, but here are the shots I got. Enjoy!

And it’s MY BIRTHDAY!! today :)
