Let me give you some insight:<br />
<br />
Start with a cage containing five apes.<br />
<br />
In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, an ape will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the apes with cold water. After a while, another ape makes an attempt with the same result - all the apes are sprayed with cold water. This continues through several more attempts.<br />
<br />
Pretty soon, when another apes tries to climb the stairs, the other apes all try to prevent it. Now, turn off the cold water. Remove one ape from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new ape sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other apes attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.<br />
<br />
Next, remover another of the original five apes and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Again, replace a third original ape with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four apes that beat him have no idea why they they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest ape. <br />
<br />
After replacing the fourth and fifth original apes, all the apes, which have been sprayed with cold water, have been replaced. Nevertheless, no ape ever again approaches the stairs. Why not? Because that's the way they've always done it and that's the way it's always been around here.<br />
<br />
And that's how company policy begins.......Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com40tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-1423594343333333892010-06-14T20:32:00.000-07:002010-06-14T20:32:38.941-07:00Job Search Key PhrasesA lot of people today are out of jobs or looking to change careers so let me help you with some key phrases to look out for. I came upon these in a pamphlet today and the humor is that most of them are probably true!! <br />
COMPETITIVE SALARY: We remain competitive by paying less than our competition.<br />
<br />
JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY: We have no time to train you.<br />
<br />
CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE: We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up.<br />
<br />
MUST BE DEADLINE-ORIENTED: You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day.<br />
<br />
SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED: Some time each night and some time each weekend.<br />
<br />
DUTIES WILL VARY: Anyone in the office can boss you around.<br />
<br />
MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL: We have no quality control.<br />
<br />
CAREER-MINDED: Female applicants must be childless ( and remain that way).<br />
<br />
APPLY IN PERSON: If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled.<br />
<br />
NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE: We've filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality.<br />
<br />
SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE: You'll need it to replace three people who just left.<br />
<br />
and last........<br />

I work with ALL MEN and she had them all trying to get her to smile but she only gave a couple out <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">lol</span>. Everything was going smoothly until I noticed that her daddy forgot her formula, thought I was going to hyperventilate, two bottles of water and no formula, fortunately I found a c<span class="goog-spellcheck-word">ouple</span> of jars of solid food in there. Nothing like talking to NASA on the phone with one hand and spoon feeding her chicken vegetable with the other hand, multi-talented I am. She played very quietly in her high chair behind my desk. I would alternate holding her and sitting her in the highchair. I quickly found that you can't have a desk full of papers and be holding her at the same time cause she just took that left hand and did a full sweep and in the blink of an eye my papers went flying! Now why would I think that things on my desk would be any interest to her??</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

First, my daughter and her husband have parted ways earlier this year. This was was very tough for everyone involved and as the wedding was basically my last big post it was kinda hard to get back into it cause quite frankly I didn't know what to post about. Sometimes you just need a break for a while to get motivated again. Plus, my brother getting on my case about not blogging (yes he reads my blogs) and how if Janeen can find the time to blog in her busy life so can I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>. Second, I began watching my beautiful eight month old granddaughter <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Audrina</span>. YES, I said 8 months old, it has been THAT long, can you believe it? Anyway, I watch her on Friday nights and Saturday day, my bonding time and that in itself took me away from my free blogging time.<br /><br />So <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">today's</span> post is dedicated to my brother Don so he will get off my case on blogging, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">lolol</span>.<br /><br />Don and I took <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Audrina</span> and his son Bradley to Ocean Beach in San Francisco last Saturday. The weather was beautiful for a while but then it took a quick turn to the cold and windy side. Although I live only about 45 minutes from San Francisco, I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">rarely</span> go as I hate driving the streets of it. As it was it took us FOREVER to get to the beach cause of the bumper to bumper traffic on a late Saturday afternoon which is unheard of!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFjFC2IspSQ5zErQKXHnAyvgK1QY1XDIe71w_LAe5fvlfBXVzekfBdzwrYNincZ_Ao43cbUlxVVfZjIqZPXerOJpu24ZcO6hQdMyYAJVtiufx1O-87ecB66ddmV9neGx2aExhZ6-HeHdM/s1600/Audrina.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464091652008611250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFjFC2IspSQ5zErQKXHnAyvgK1QY1XDIe71w_LAe5fvlfBXVzekfBdzwrYNincZ_Ao43cbUlxVVfZjIqZPXerOJpu24ZcO6hQdMyYAJVtiufx1O-87ecB66ddmV9neGx2aExhZ6-HeHdM/s400/Audrina.jpg" /></a> I don't know what she was looking at but she is a very serious child.

I have been quite busy these days and I would like to ask forgiveness from all that I am behind on visiting your interesting posts. I plan to get to that this weekend. I thought I would put together a small collage of sorts of the happenings of my life these days.<br /><br />First, meet Harley, the wiener dog puppy. First let me mention that we already have a dog, Buster and a cat, Tigger. This is very important to the story. So, I am with our daughter Jackie last Saturday up in Elk Grove and she decides to check her emails on her iPhone. What does she get from Dad?? A "Meet Harley" photo. Now, I don't know how to make a long story short on this one so bare with me. My husband works on Saturday mornings at a small scale Mexican flea market as an Armed Patrol Guard. EVERY stinking Saturday he manages to bring something home. I told him he was not allowed to work this detail any more. He didn't listen. Anyway, I told her to reply "Harley better be visiting". Now, the reason I say this is because just the DAY BEFORE we had this long conversation about NOT bringing any more animals into the house. We would NOT replace our animals after they died etc...we are tired of dog and cat hair etc. Our animals are self sufficient, and can take care of themselves. Life is good right? WRONG. He tells our daughter that it is a gift for me and if I don't want it our son Nick will take it. So, what did I do? I got pissed, really, really pissed. I called Nick and told him he could have the dog as we don't need another animal. Life was good again.....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNK2AFo7XTb__HpWtWgy2L8PBa0U715C87B6oKr5IcrVbrqkV695e2sWHMXf1GhgjF9CQXcfpn-gOm4wpMsCuIRWd_OSgqVq6KQT-24fDQcUa8KFvcglK_xqgHBQKdgmnswosdIT7IXvd3/s1600-h/IMG_0283.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372647817646021234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNK2AFo7XTb__HpWtWgy2L8PBa0U715C87B6oKr5IcrVbrqkV695e2sWHMXf1GhgjF9CQXcfpn-gOm4wpMsCuIRWd_OSgqVq6KQT-24fDQcUa8KFvcglK_xqgHBQKdgmnswosdIT7IXvd3/s400/IMG_0283.JPG" /></a> Until Sunday...., hubby and I go to visit the baby and since Nick was "dog" sitting too, Harley. Nick lives with Alicia and her mother. First thing her mother said to me was, "you ARE taking the dog back home with you right?" Sure thing I told her, arrrrrrrrgh. Not a problem, totally understand your not wanting TWO dogs. All this with a big bright smile on my face.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNNhOkWPEf9IFtbFonRhFOnEVN4lcjzdoUqj6awKyi2vDkF79Fm9NmpOo32X9Y0qiqG4tK-Ypk0-dwTppR08Ndwrih7SfMWJNRx-3oC1X_NnKRPxhUbI69nGc43oo7WgbU9QKVggh6VjAp/s1600-h/IMG_0281.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372647800510428786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNNhOkWPEf9IFtbFonRhFOnEVN4lcjzdoUqj6awKyi2vDkF79Fm9NmpOo32X9Y0qiqG4tK-Ypk0-dwTppR08Ndwrih7SfMWJNRx-3oC1X_NnKRPxhUbI69nGc43oo7WgbU9QKVggh6VjAp/s400/IMG_0281.JPG" /></a><br />So I told Gerry that this would be a trial and that it was HIS dog and HE had to do EVERYTHING since he did not discuss this with me first. People don't bring animals into the home without talking about it first. I had explicitly said the day before that I did not want another animal . So for the week he has been cleaning up, feeding, you name it he does it and I only play with her. Forgive me if it sounds mean but puppies are like babies and they need lots of attention and care and he just thinks she is so cute. Well cute grows up and gets bigger! Like the chickens, ducks, mice and other things he has brought home for the kids because they were so small and cute. Jury is still out as to if we keep her or not.</div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVdR4T7mDLPkflBJoOf0hry0GLSX6l1UcSB15ML-B1L9yutmERhdxr75LGejsXTKiLMV4ME92RV2HNX_O59vHc9axKeZYJb5OeTGw32iP4U27c6PcTcTuA-zStLtDyD_lQrz1bV3w02lr/s1600-h/IMG_0271.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372647791774200898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibVdR4T7mDLPkflBJoOf0hry0GLSX6l1UcSB15ML-B1L9yutmERhdxr75LGejsXTKiLMV4ME92RV2HNX_O59vHc9axKeZYJb5OeTGw32iP4U27c6PcTcTuA-zStLtDyD_lQrz1bV3w02lr/s400/IMG_0271.JPG" /></a><br />This is baby Audrina, 1.5 weeks old, isn't she beautiful?

She was due this Saturday but she couldn't wait that long she wanted to join the family early. She weighed 6lb 13oz, 19 in long and has brown hair. Her mother Alicia was such a trooper. We made two trips to the hospital yesterday, 7am and 4pm dilated to 2cm before we came back at 10pm for good. Some of you may not know this but we have a pizza parlor in Antioch called Skipolinis Pizza. They have a "Prego" pizza and if you eat this pizza you may go into labor within 24 hours. It is very famous for this and even the nurses and doctors say to stop by there for dinner, lol. Well, we all went there yesterday at 6pm and she had 2-3 pieces and was admitted at 10pm and by 1am she was 5cm. This girl pushed this baby out in 20 minutes flat! and the rest is history.<br /><br />I am soooooooooo tired. I am not used to being up for more than 24 hours so now I am going to sleep.<br /><br />Please look at our beautiful granddaughter just moments old, they are not in any particular order.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-i-w0XRul6dzbU7rFrNdbhVg_8r5DY21ZUsYq43fIW50OWuTZrUnq36zpNt8pzkezumOFPr-6Xn9iB-YkKqq4gXpKGo4IMB_fxocUvvLFOo2CfLAgC2jVS0X9_Qiz_QdAUPCrDJ2JlDL/s1600-h/securedownload1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

She went to the doctor on Wed of last week and he said she was 75% thinned and baby was about 6.5 to 7 pounds already. She is so tiny I hope that baby doesn't gain any more weight!<br /><br />Anyway, hubby and I went to Kmart to get some dog and cat food and I just HAPPENED to go past the housewares section and what did I see??? Bed-in-a bag! <em>Imagine that..</em> What a nifty idea. It comes with sheets, 2 pillow cases, 2 pillow shams, comforter and a bed skirt. What a deal! We picked one out and then I also picked out a mattress protector and two inexpensive wooden utility carts on wheels that can be used also as night stands. I was getting so excited that I just wanted to buy everything but that is bad shopping. I don't know what got over me!<br /><br />So anyway, we pull up to the house and nobody is there. I am thinking great.... he didn't move out (he had been dragging his feet for a week already) or my house is going to be a mess because you should have seen his room. He would have had to drag half the stuff out into the hall and family room to even see what he had. You couldn't even see the floor and the whole room hadn't been painted but maybe once in the 20 years he and his brother shared it. Really, I was dreading coming in the door. But when we came in I saw three garbage bags full of garbage lined up in the front room, most of the items he had had out there were gone also. We ventured down the hall and opened the door and what did we find?? NOTHING, I mean absolutely NOTHING! We were dumb struck. He had stripped the room bare and he even vacuumed the carpet! First thing out of my mouth was, HE TOOK THE FRICKING BED??? First thing going through my mind was, I JUST BOUGHT A BED IN A BAG AND HE TOOK THE FRICKING BED!!! Gone was the bed, dresser, computer stand and TV and lamp stand. Since Alicia has a fully furnished room for two I couldn't imagine where he was going to put all this stuff. Then I got pissed off because that was MY TV, I bought and just let him borrow. I frantically ran to the patio and low and behold what do I see???? The bed and frame is propped up against the deck and the dresser is out on the cement patio. Upon further inspection, I found the computer stand and TV in the closet. Whew! I couldn't believe it. I poured myself a glass of wine.<br /><br />After one ok maybe two glasses of wine, I called him and told him I was impressed with the way he cleared out the room and he said he knew I wanted to paint and shampoo the carpet so he thought he would help me out. I am thinking what alien took over my son as the OLD son would have left the garbage etc.. for us to clean out. lol<br /><br />He asked me what I was going to do with the room and I told him I was going to make it a spare bedroom. He asked why, no one is going to sleep in it anymore. I said, sure they will, Jackie comes down once in a while etc...PLUS, in the back of my mind I have to think of his relationship not working out and him possibly coming back for a spell so I am not going to do anything major in the redecorating dept. just yet. But I am not going to tell him that.<br /><br />I am going to put up some of the baby things in the room too so that when they come to visit things will already be set.<br /><br />I have already painted the room as of last night and this morning so next weekend I will be shampooing the carpet. When I get the room all fixed up I will show you some before and after pics.<br /><br />On a side note, I went to visit them last night and to bring a few items he had left. He had just got home from work and she had a hamburger prepared for him on the table. I thought, wow, okay..... Then she showed me the room. The bedroom is all fixed up with the baby items, as she has a master suite bedroom big enough for a portion to be used as a baby area. She was so excited to show me the closet/drawer set that is Nicks now. All the clothes were folded and even his underwear was folded, lololol I just looked at her with that mom look and she said, I am working on him to keep his clothes folded. I stifled a laugh because if I couldn't do it how the hell is she going to do it. lolol His shoes are in their own little cubby holes, the whole thing just cracked me up. Well, we can only hope for the best and pray.<br /><br />Follow up blog will come with pictures of the transformed room!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKh3wuvdE2rlbztvwLSNf0ivE_yIKPSPoj1wq2iwveAX0W5HYOLkaTplq3wMNynUINx5Yw1YBIz4bcIpb1DKiz4UaGqK_Da8gL-nDPCSAYFuqIFBSvkWvoFOvHJUkpk6xF9MckKjrr7GF/s1600-h/IMG_0164.JPG"></a></div>Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-91438066587607209052009-07-18T17:25:00.001-07:002009-07-18T21:15:47.705-07:00Baby Shower<div align="center">Please meet Alicia, momma to be of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Audrina</span> Faith Carter, my first grandchild. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Audrina</span> is due August 8<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> but the doctors say she can come at any time now.

OMG, the thing looks like a MONSTER! I had never paid that much attention to strollers other than the fact that they now have CUP HOLDERS!!! Anyway, I am moving it and looking at it on the platform and I asked Gerry to take it down so I could actually "work" it. OMG the thing weights less than a pound! I could pick it up with one hand. First thing Gerry said was, "It has cup holders". I laughed, and then he goes on...."and the storage, it even has double wheels in the front and take a look at the car seat". I know, I told him, it just pisses you off doesn't! I look at him and say, "Makes you want another baby just to use all these fancy things huh?" hehehehe. I got the flat out "NO" . It was too funny.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center; ”border: " alt="" src="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-5837229reg.jpg" /><br /><br /><div></div><a href="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-5837229_alternate1_reg.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-5837229_alternate1_reg.jpg" border="4" /></a><br />So, because we brought the Mustang as we were already out and about, he had to go home and get a bigger car while I stayed and wrapped it at their "free" wrapping paper station. I should have taken a picture of THAT. It had to be done in layers and I used a-l-o-t of paper and tape. It would have cost me $10 to do it myself so why not use theirs!! I threw the 10 pages of registry in the garbage can as I was not going to spend anymore money. <div></div><br /><div>So while I was waiting for him to come back, just standing there, I dug the registry back out of the garbage and secured my large package in a cart behind the counter and began to look at other things they had picked out. It was truly a weird feeling to see what tastes your kids have. I was impressed with the 3-in-one crib that turns into a bed and that it was natural wood color and the accompanying items like the changing table etc....Ours were solid hardwood that took a Mac truck to move but then our kids crib belonged to my husband so it went though many kids and relatives after us. Then I went to the high chair area and I was like whaaaat? The slide in table had two attachments for gosh sakes!! Unreal!<br /><br /><a href="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-5376892reg.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 220px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-5376892reg.jpg" border="4" /></a><br /><div>Now here is the High Chair. If you can see it, in the tray it has a pop in tray with a CUP HOLDER, (it's over to the left), what they don't show is ANOTHER tray that is clear plastic that fits over the entire tray. Absolutely crazy. What is wrong with just the one tray that everyone has used for centuries. Am I just old fashioned? </div><div></div><div><br />It was very weird to be in this store buying and looking for items for my future granddaughter. I can't explain it, it just brought it to a whole other dimension. Tell me too if you know, but it feels different in that it is my son and not my daughter and therefore I feel I am one step removed. I think if it was my daughter it would be a whole different experience. Maybe it's the mother-daughter bonding thing etc.. that you don't necessarily have with your son as men don't get pregnant. LOL </div><div></div><div><br />Only 7 weeks left!</div><div></div><div><br />Have a wonderful Sunday everyone...:)<br /></div><div></div></div>Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-40690655617957541772009-06-07T08:27:00.000-07:002009-06-07T09:26:54.775-07:00Log CabinsI started out with a post on Sunday morning peacefulness as I sit on my back deck drinking my morning coffee and listening to the birds. Then my thoughts drifted to drinking coffee on the deck of a nice log cabin and THEN to fireplaces in the log cabins and before you know it I had completely scrapped my first post and replaced it with log cabins and fireplaces. lol I dream of log cabins. I should have moved out of California years ago and moved to the mountains of Montana or a lake somewhere in Wyoming. <br /><br />I have ALWAYS wanted to go to a real old working dude ranch and learn how to cook REAL home cooked meals from scratch like they did back when. I know once I got there I would probably scream for the Microwave and a Mr. Coffee because they are FASTER but I would persevere, for a few days at least. haha<br /><br />Sit back and enjoy my log cabins.........<br /><br /><a href="http://img4.southernliving.com/i/2003/01/coziest-fireplaces/big-cedar-lodge-fireplace-m.jpg?300:300"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img4.southernliving.com/i/2003/01/coziest-fireplaces/big-cedar-lodge-fireplace-m.jpg?300:300" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.ibuyloghomes.com/images/SMiller/LOG%20CABIN%20ILIKE%20FIREPLACE_400pix.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 519px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.ibuyloghomes.com/images/SMiller/LOG%20CABIN%20ILIKE%20FIREPLACE_400pix.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/cabin-decor-ideas-2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 509px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/cabin-decor-ideas-2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2117/2151352106_554226ea8b.jpg?v=1205949235"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 335px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2117/2151352106_554226ea8b.jpg?v=1205949235" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.loghome.com/images/Articles/snow-covered-log-cabin.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 540px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 491px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.loghome.com/images/Articles/snow-covered-log-cabin.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div><div><a href="http://www.loghome.com/images/Articles/handcrafted-log-home-508-2.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 637px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 381px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.loghome.com/images/Articles/handcrafted-log-home-508-2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://mountaindreamlogmansions.com/Design-Build_Log_Mansions_Large_Luxury_Log_Homes/Mountain_Log_Mansion_Luxury_Log_Homes_Mountain_Lodge_EagleMountainAerie1-SMALL.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 720px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 414px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://mountaindreamlogmansions.com/Design-Build_Log_Mansions_Large_Luxury_Log_Homes/Mountain_Log_Mansion_Luxury_Log_Homes_Mountain_Lodge_EagleMountainAerie1-SMALL.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="http://www.montana-cabins.com/MontanaLogCabins.jpg/MontanaLogCabins-full;init:.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 334px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.montana-cabins.com/MontanaLogCabins.jpg/MontanaLogCabins-full;init:.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.geocities.com/aliciainelpaso/logcab1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 557px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 391px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.geocities.com/aliciainelpaso/logcab1.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div>This is my ultimate favorite....isn't it just gorgeous??<br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.loghome.com/images/Articles/log-cabin-w-stone-porch.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 637px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 438px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.loghome.com/images/Articles/log-cabin-w-stone-porch.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-41811428343335731972009-05-28T19:35:00.000-07:002009-05-29T20:51:22.897-07:00Fun Filled Weekend<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div align="center">Last weekend my hubby and I took 3 days and went up to Clearlake for a relaxing time of motorcycle riding, concerts and gambling. I don't which one I like more ha ha ha. We started out Saturday riding up to Konocti Harbor to check out the gift shop which I LOVE. While there we were comped tickets to the REO Speedwagon, Sticks and 38 Special concert later that night! What a surprise that was. Anyone in high school in the 80's remembers these guys.</div><br /><div align="center">So later that night we went back for the concert only to have it CANCELLED less than one minute into 38 Special (the first act) because the stage lights fell from the hoists! You never saw people clear a stage so fast in your life! The picture is kinda blurry but the lights should have been up by the blue tarp.

Well there I was, sitting on the chair reading a magazine while my friend is loading her bike. My hubby is sitting next to me as we are already to go just waiting for my friends hubby to lock up the house. All the sudden I look up and notice my hubby looking at my friend and then looking at me. I am like, "What?" "You got something else you can wear?" he says, (Whaaat?!) "What do you mean, what's wrong with what I have on!!!!" My friend pipes up and says, "Mel, you'd wear that shirt to the store not on a bike! This is bike country" I was wearing a light weight pink T-shirt just so you know! I look at my hubby and he says, "Well, you got to look the part". lol So I get up and toss my magazine on the chair and march in the house letting the screen door slam and yelling, "Don't lock up yet I have to CHANGE." He laughs at me an asks why and I tell him that I am not showing enough boob! He cracks up. So I come out in my white spaghetti strapped shirt with the built in bra and hubby says, Hmmmm, so I turn around and march back in the house and the guy is laughing at me harder as I give him a dirty look. I whip out my black WONDER BRA put the white shirt back on and Viola! Boobs! I walked outside and went right up to hubby and put his head right THERE. "Is THAT enough boob for you!!!" lol I thought he would die of mortification and my friend about died as mis prim and proper Melody did this. They will talk about that day forever, how Melody morphed into BIKER CHICK (without the tattoos)</p>Can you believe the price of gas!!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341448776903315298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsMAlaqPOP48-cZTX7z3oW_UWhwVBTh_oyPjmZ5t3p8scn37n8-K_I1I5Bry25JGjdkYYUL5QZuEPpBBQxhkzFOA8EKcjXdS3i3Ky67Wp6WWqF7o7M7F_Tf5Xr_N9FwV-gYJC0eoGJaU5b/s400/100_1778.JPG" border="0" /> More beautiful country roads.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341448766656317986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG7Hp4kxX1Mi3lZFNslYtXpR5b40SEMXxRqdyySpKss_0PhuvLRDKntfAymgoIdjfFEm_ngle8If82cDhHkT_e6-q4fLx5y-a733nw-nquxh5H7FEWmPRZDFw5eLHQfg92zf8QjCxu4fyw/s400/100_1770.JPG" border="0" /> </div><br /><br /><div align="center">Bruce and my hubby<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341448759577498850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE0Y-gYMhpXZ7ACFFN-vGqBMHLk39dCwtc4vbrR77E7gayvEfpG_eix6_sNfaAcH7jhJ9NbGHW2K19amO28US06V26WFFlZEZYnm1Rsl4tQG3LLj6EXsMU9Jk1O6Dh60FyYbsS52qduDPO/s400/100_1758.JPG" border="0" /><br />Here are a few homes for sale on the water......$$$$$<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341451666154350050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXx1cnEvz4cfnLmE2PCnwdmZws1H_tVU-mNcb32aYQy3sqxQHgQvjHmrLSecOivygJhmrNwJabsoiHEh3fOez96i_PYxYvqeogpovy0WBIVx7__6RMALiGzscBODsfjND-byDUfX-9SZ2E/s400/100_1802.JPG" border="0" /><br />Here is the right side of the road...<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341451652507769906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo_-9EFgJ5NKsMYWLXWXJw3-25RG1J4oOi1m6rKPC4f6jmb36cTs7-wOUm45zyNQxlmzXfhMy6PFQEoSbPqq4gaGPMzBzLUxhawIzuHG3TVFohG9pY7TEfASTXmJb2rCFXlFQZb5T-gIQ9/s400/100_1800.JPG" border="0" /><br />Here is the left.

Only, I have two very distinct moments that just pop into my head that will be forever etched on my brain. <br /><br />Moment #1.<br />My daughter Jackie needed to get her first training bra. I had been putting it off for quite some time because I just could not deal with it. So one day we finally went to K-mart and as we are looking for bras I am looking around and over my shoulder because I don't want anyone to see me doing this. We pick out a few and she goes to try them on. When she calls me in the dressing room I start to hyperventilate. I am actually sweating and getting faint at the site of my little baby girl in a BRA. I am trying be mature and mommy like, trying to see that they fit properly but come on, how can a training bra NOT FIT. Anyway, we get two bras and I toss them into the BIG HUGE EMPTY CART and I just can't bring my self to go to the counter plop down two bras. Sooooooo, I wander around the women's section and I pick out the first coat I see that is big enough to through in the cart and cover the entire bottom of it. Hide bras and no one knows I have them........clever, very clever. I continued to hide bras by the coat at the check out. It was one of the LONGEST days of my life..... UPDATE: Ladies, I still have that coat actually and recently put it out for the goodwill.....it's time to move on lol.<br /><br />Moment #2.<br />I was standing in the checkout line at the supermarket and was rummaging through my purse for my brush. Just as I grab my brush and whip it out of my purse, out flies a UFO, is it a bird, plane, no its a thin Kotex maxi pad that had been caught on the teeth of the brush! It flew clear across to the next isle. Well, I was mortified as you can imagine. There is just no excuse to cover THAT one up. I did NOT want to go and retrieve it either. I did but I was secretly hoping that if I stayed where I was everyone would forget about the UFO they just saw. <br /><br />What is your most embarrassing moment or moments?Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-45175532390668311402009-04-14T20:46:00.000-07:002009-04-16T20:12:08.589-07:00Lips.....So, I go to Target to pick up a few gifts and while I am there I thought I would check out what they carried, if any, to "plump up" my aging lips. My lips are beginning...okay, they have been for quite some time.....oh alright, years if you want to get specific, starting to thin out and with that comes lines here and there and everywhere.<br /><br /><br />As I stroll down the various isles, I can hear a lady asking a customer, "can I help you find something?" Well, I take a wide detour as I don't want to ask anyone where the stuff is. Call me vain, but it's not like asking for a brand of lip stick or foundation etc. Who wants to call attention to their defects! So I am pushing my cart REAL slow and as I round the corner out pops the sales lady, scares the crap out of me.... she must be in her mid 60's. "Can I help you find something?" Shit, I say to myself, "ahhh, my DAUGHTER is looking for a lip plumper and she says they carry it here at Target so I am trying to find it. I have NO CLUE what I am looking for." "Oh", she says, "we have this kind here (some unknown brand) and down this isle here we have, Sexy Motherpucker." I thrust my head back, what the hell did she just say, did she say Sexy Mother*ucker! I said to myself. Then I look up at the package and was shocked out of my zone. I knew y'all wouldn't believe me so I included the package here......<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ndhYhTGvL._AA400_.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ndhYhTGvL._AA400_.jpg" border="0" /></a>"This one is a few dollars more at $10. " the sales lady said, and I am like, "well, I don't know which one she wants so I will just have to call her. Thanks for your help". I was so entranced by this package that I stood there with both packages in my hands and I kept gravitating towards the Sexy one. I even got out my cell phone and made the fake call to my daughter.....lol, the woman wouldn't go AWAY! Well ladies, there was really no choice, I had to get the Sexy Motherpucker lip plumper, I mean I am 46 yeas old and it says it's Crucial for Sexual Attraction!<br /><br /><br />I know, you want to know if it works? YES it does! I put it on at work and I it was SO tingly I thought my lips were popping out of their skin. I must have looked at my compact mirror a dozen times. lol It is a very thick gloss. So ladies, if you are looking for a bit of plump in your pucker, hahahaha ya only need to try this.Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-78636519011193192042009-04-12T09:51:00.000-07:002009-04-12T10:19:15.841-07:00Angels in Waiting<a href="http://www.sorensenventures.org/artist_image/TammyCochran.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 550px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 550px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.sorensenventures.org/artist_image/TammyCochran.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div>The song you are listening too is Angels in Waiting from Tammy Cochran. She is one of my favorite country singers. Her life story is one of tragedy. She lost both of her older brothers to Cystic Fibrosis. This song is a tribute to them. Please read below a short bio on her from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">wikipedia</span>.....</div><div></div><br /><div>Tammy Cochran was a Country singer born and raised in a small rural town called <a title="Austinburg, Ohio" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austinburg,_Ohio"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Austinburg</span>, Ohio</a>, which according to Tammy was a perfect place to write a country song. There was also enough tragedy in Cochran's life to write a country song.</div><br /><div>She was born in 1972 to Mabel and Delmar Cochran and was the third of three children. Tammy's two older brothers, Shawn and Alan were both born with the disease <a class="mw-redirect" title="Cystic Fibrosis" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystic_Fibrosis">Cystic Fibrosis</a>. Shawn died from the disease in 1980, at 14 and Alan died in 1991 at age 24. She soon became accustomed to listening to and singing the songs of <a title="Loretta Lynn" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loretta_Lynn">Loretta Lynn</a> and <a title="Barbara Mandrell" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Mandrell">Barbara <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Mandrell</span></a>. Encouraged and inspired by her brothers, Tammy realized that she preferred singing in front of an audience. For the next few years, Tammy sang at her family's local <a title="Church (building)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_(building)">church</a>, and then she entered a <a title="Talent show" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talent_show">talent show</a> contest and won. The next step for Tammy was to join a band. She joined a couple before making her own band called "TC Country" that played at fairs and weddings.</div><div></div><div>Hope you enjoyed this song as much as I did. </div></div>Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-36918791449139653252009-04-09T19:47:00.000-07:002009-04-10T20:55:07.675-07:00Award!<div align="center">My friend Valerie over at <a href="http://valeriegail.blogspot.com/">It's a Wonderful Life</a> bestowed upon me this great award.

It was funny because Lee Laurie's 10 things were mine too so here I go maybe I can come up with some new ones. lol<br /><br /><br />1. I love being the first to wake up early in the morning with a hot cup of coffee and my computer, enjoying the quite solitude.<br /><br />2. I love cuddling with my cat Tigger even knowing she loves my husband more than me. I talk to her and she just looks at me, he talks to her and it's bla bla bla.<br /><br />3. I love rainy days curled up on a sofa with a good romance novel and a cup of hot tea.<br /><br />4. I LOVE TEA PARTIES.<br /><br />5. I love to go motorcycle riding, or more accurately being the passenger on a motorcycle.<br /><br />6. I love Costco's Polish Dog and Soda for a mere $1.50!!!!! Such a great deal.<br /><br />7. I love log cabins in the mountains, would love to own one, would love for someone to invite me to stay in one....hehe<br /><br />8. I love the Anne of Green Gables Series<br /><br />9. I love my children.<br /><br />10. I love my husband<br /><br />I am supposed to pass this on but I am going to reserve that for a future date as my life is very busy right now....just trying to get on the computer is a task in itself.Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-4548972825431413392009-03-28T19:05:00.001-07:002009-03-28T19:40:56.267-07:00I look like a WHAT??OK, so I went to RiteAid this afternoon and was in the make-up department looking for some deals. Their layout is kinda strange so I am zigzagging through the isles very slowly and the young man (about 17) at the register at the other end of the store keeps staring at me like I am going to steal something. I mean really, me? Give me a break.<br /><br />So, now I am getting and paranoid and I just get my lipstick and foundation and want to get the heck out of there. I wait my turn at the register, did I mention that he is the only register open? Just my luck. Anyway....there are at least two men behind me buying beer and as I put my items on the counter he says.."This is so funny, you were over in the make up and I was looking at you and you weren't moving, your hair was perfect and you looked just like one of those mannequins at Macy's." Well, THAT was not what I expected to hear. I said, "What? you think I look like a mannequin?" Yes" he says, and I said, "You think I look like one of those wooden mannequins?" He said, " Well, some of those are HOT!, this is a complement to you." Well I just started laughing and I couldn't even bring myself to look at the guys behind me for fear they were already on the floor laughing. I thanked the young man and promply left.<br /><br /><br />Then I got in the car and I was contemplating...mannequins have flawless skin, great bodies, never get fat and can were ANYTHING and I was starting to feel pretty good by this time... LOL When I got home I told my hubby and he laughed with me.<br /><br /><br />Later, my hubby and I are on separate couches and I am on the computer and he is drinking a beer and I catch him looking at me. I asked him what he was looking at and he said, "I am looking at my mannequin" ! Then he came over and kissed me. AWWWWWW<br /><br />The bad thing is....now everytime I go into a store that has mannequins I am going to remember this incident....LOL<br /><div align="center">This is the real me.<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318429486277449970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjomqPQ11qa23zZFbmawgvqYodrEj-i4ec5F8PsmnWJHWYhyphenhyphen5pvStqiBCREwyw9-5IbghEFLTsdBPdiFRlbiWP9pymQU1ryEfRjBuGxI2ugZgbsfiFW5MQIXDowIJXcjQqOvzMRpEIW2flh/s400/10460038914_0_ALB.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />Here are some of my alter egos....<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318429487270399602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlkttplIMnQ_sYAt202qQXAbu0ruJ7oTVkh3zBsnWpcButyUr-PmRdS22HyKwbKKIS0Htd-7tbhVehHUXJdElvC-9ZOnjaGZWiLU9g-2W0Gdx0n2apjWMA8sSdi5yTCqzxwl4Xb4S4KRqb/s400/maniquin.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318429475621820802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA9SHN1YazMx8Z_X10LVf07MYpOOhw5hHurRjerje7cvm_xsHYCzVMR7RrLVrluvjLaeNrqc7kfT2NN6uRjYzQRuSoJ61uDYnIOYCCUp0NG2R4E9gbVOppxkEqcc2DPRsZmiBqS5O8HHcd/s400/girl+2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318429475824395490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS2p3dN3i39_brXU5nNQ14Xh2ktUp42nhqhBW2vFetel-S-tZXgdXTZdQOhs8st3qrtSYtJNrwrsLoZ_Ny-YK_QpK-tNuHVXGYLw0u6hE_3ezX5mQHBMlTeeqkxWBCr7_rTsI4DNf_rmty/s400/girl+1.jpg" border="0" />Tea Time With Melodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05618314389490571856noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173074414109493437.post-38969316292348898742009-03-15T20:30:00.000-07:002009-03-16T20:09:40.035-07:00Breakfast At Tiffany's<div align="center">Hello Dahlings.......I thought I'd stop by Melody's place for a tea in my honor.
