Cuh-razy

I've lost 3 pounds this week, by eating less and exercising, AND after eating 2 servings of artichoke dip at Ruby River. Imagine that!!

Womens Expo

I celebrated yesterday by attending the Womens Expo with a couple great ladies. I wanted to look my very best so you betcha I wore my John Deere hat and new shoes. At the Paul Mitchell booth I got my mustache waxed and a micro-something facial for free. Free bread, free candy (that I didn't even partake of), and free blood pressure screening. I tried fishing for a hat at the Cabelas booth, but like all of my endeavors, I gave up. Why would I want to win a Cabelas hat when I have a perfectly suitable John Deere hat? Got to taste some yummy food. It was fun fun fun.

p.s. why do I love the voice of Phil Collins? It's not manly or sexy in anyway, yet there is something...........

They're here!!

After waiting ALL day at home, not even taking a shower, for fear I would miss the UPS man (I had to stay home to sign) at 6:02 pm this evening (well that was redundant, but I'm not going erase it, because it was 6:02 pm in the evening) I got my free pair of shoes.


The shoes came with an instructional/workout DVD, and 2 instructional packets. The shoes promised me:
Improved posture
Stronger back
Firm buttocks
Reduced Cellulite and toned thighs
Firmer calf muscles
Blood circulation improved
Abdominal muscles tightened!!

So I've been walking around the house with them on and have noticed that my chest naturally juts out and my buttocks seemed to be telling me "yes, Camille, I've been waiting for you to treat me this way, firmer cheeks coming your way!!" So you know what I did, I grabbed one of those cheeks and responded "oh butt cheek, I am sorry for letting you get so large but now we have a new powerful tool that we can use to reach our goal, remember how you looked summer of '97, yeah? well that's our goal." and then we both chuckled a bit.
Added bonus, I haven't sneaked any of my childrens Halloween candy today, and the Biggest Loser will be on in a half hour!! I'm feeling hotter already!

How to get unsolicited compliments from men.....

I've received 3 different compliments from 3 different men. Thanks to my hat. Goodbye expensive perfumes, helllloooo tractors....

Thanks to Candis, and I want to wish you (Candis) a very happy birthday.

AAAHHHHHH

So I just won a pair of Skechers Shape Up shoes!!! I received an email directly from Skechers stating that since I am signed up to receive email from the Bonnie Hunt show I won a pair of shoes!! There was a promotional code and everything. So I went to the Skechers official website (not from the link because I was afraid that link would take me to a phony site) I picked a pair I liked and went to the checkout... the shoes cost 110$ and shipping is 8$. THENNNNNN I entered the promotional code AND all at once the total amount went to 0!!! I don't even have to pay for shipping!!! I know what you're thinking, my girl Camille what's that promotional code...well I won't give it to you, not because I don't like you, because I really do...it's just, since I won I don't want my relationship with Skechers or Bonnie Hunt to sour (plus you can only use the code once)(but still, I wouldn't share the code just because I want Skechers to do this more for me, and I don't want to ruin my chances with them). What's up with me winning everything anyways? really? I won that Twilight shirt, a book, and now Skechers, oh and I've been BOOED twice, that's right, I got treated two times on total accident!! You know that big wind storm 2 nights ago, well it blew my "I've got booed" paper I had on my door, and I don't have a printer to reprint it, and I totally thought nothing of it, because this is the only year I ever got BOOED and what was the chance we would get booed AGAIN!! Well tonight I get a knock on the door and VOILA chocolate chip cookies and the BOO note, needless to say my kids went WILD! I don't think I've seen my kids do so many happy dances. Ian said "Mom I told you ghosts are real." But he's confused that we have to now make double the treats to deliver to people, because after all "why doesn't the ghost do it?". It's a good thing I won those Skechers shoes because I really need to work off all those calories!! I mean what are the chances?....I don't know if luck can be passed on, but for 5$ I'll let you touch the sleeve of my shirt, and maybe you might win something (I doubt it though, but maybe if you gave me 10$ your chances will be upped.) All this within the last month. If it wasn't against church policy, I would so be in my mini van heading to Vegas.
Anyways I don't want to brag. It just sucks to be you!!

I know, rating this post on my goodness scale, with 1 being creepy super model and 10 being Marjorie Hinkley, I'm hovering at a 1.5 (Lindsey Lohan). Next post I'll write about how I fed the orphan refuges and saved 10 kittens from a burning building (with a nice tushy because my derriere will be so tight from wearing my new Skechers Shape Up shoes.)

Book giveaway

There is a book giveaway going on over at Good News. You can enter here. It's called Gospel Insights for Everyday Living. I have already won a book of hers a week or so back, called Spiritually Centered Motherhood. I love it!! I've been reading a chapter a day, and have three chapters left. I was offering to lend it to some people for their own enjoyment, but they might just have to wait on that, I'm going to have to reread it.

The Terribly Exciting Adventures of a Cat and Dog

If you remember....I am in charge of the PTA newsletter. If you remember I started a continuing story and wrote up the first paragraph. I have just picked up the kids submissions. I have really enjoyed them all....but I was laughing hard when I read this one.....

I'll start off the story with the original paragraph

Suzie was prowling outside, and if you didn’t know her and crossed her path you wouldn’t have thought anything of it. Cats are suppose to hunt; they chase birds, rats, and other small creatures that might come across their path, but Suzie wasn’t interested in that kind of riff-raff, because Suzie was not JUST a kitty cat, she was a cat with powers, SUPER powers. Passersby would have ignored her, but if you took a long, hard look you would have noticed that she was wearing her special purplish Kitty Cat Super Hero outfit; that included cape (hot pink), lasso (neon green), and stun gun (blackish). Right by her side, her faithful companion, the three legged, one eyed, toothless, stuttering, wonder wiener dog, Shelley.

Here's the student's add-on

One day Suzie and Shelley decided to become men because men are stronger than women. "I guess we will have to stay ladies until something bad happens, then we can build our invention," said Suzie, "Ro re ron't re'll rust rave ro rart ron rhe revention." (no we don't we'll just have to start on the invention) said Shelley. That night, they started working on the invention (which is called a cloning machine). It took until midnight to finish the cloning machine. Finally, they needed one more thing, men cells, so one day Suzie and Shelley were walking in the park when they saw some men spit some gum out. Suzie jumped in the garbage can and took out the gum. Then Suzie and Shelley ran home and put it in the cloning machine and turned into men. Meanwhile, there was an evil villain named Kitty Killer who was killing all the kitties in the world. That afternoon, Kitty Killer reached Suzie's and Shelley's neighborhood. When Suzie and Shelley saw this, they quickly changed their name to Shellhead and Suzuki. Then they ran downtown to fight Kitty Killer. They saw that Kitty Killer hypnotized all the cats in town. Shellhead used his super bark to blow the cat army away. Then Suzuki stunned Kitty Killer with her stun gun. Next Suzuki tied Kitty Killer up with her lasso and took Kitty Killer to jail. Last, they went home and had a big pizza party.
