But this is partly from sheer stupidity and bitchiness on her part!

Man hides $12,000 engagement ring in balloon that floats away

Who Would Still Want To Marry This Woman

Honey, will you marry... Oh. Never mind...

It is the one moment every man wants to get right -- and which London floor-fitter Lefkos Hajji could hardly have got more wrong. The luckless 28 year-old's dreams of giving his sweetheart, Leanne, 26, the ultimate proposal have literally vanished into thin air.Hajji, of Hackney, east London, had concealed a $12,000 engagement ring inside a helium balloon. The idea was that she would pop the balloon as he popped the question. But as he left the shop, a gust of wind pulled the balloon from his hand and he watched the ring -- and quite possibly the affections of his girlfriend -- sailing away over the rooftops.

"I couldn't believe it," he told The Sun newspaper."I just watched as it went further and further into the air."I felt like such a plonker. It cost a fortune and I knew my girlfriend would kill me."
Hajji spent two hours in his car trying to chase and find the balloon, without success.

"I thought I would give Leanne a pin so I could literally pop the question," he said.

"But I had to tell her the story -- she went absolutely mad. Now she is refusing to speak to me until I get her a new ring."He is hoping the ring will still turn up."It would be amazing if someone found it," he added.

Vomit????

Where would I be without Sissy?

Today is a day worthy of marking in my calendar - the day I found out about the "Vomitometer" where have I been? A simple Google search of the word shows those crazy Gen Y'ers using this word profusely (mostly in reference to their parents!!) It even has an entry in the Urban Dictionary. I tend to use the UD quite a lot to search for vomitometer and Holla Back Girl (I really had NO idea what it was!) so I suggest adding it to your favorites!

Visual example of vomitometer those not in-the-know:

Can Christmas come early this year??

Ever since my trip to Ingleside Vineyards in Colonial Beach this summer and I got to man-handle alpacas after drinking about half a bottle of red wine I have been OBSESSED!

They are just so funny looking, the perfect height - camels are just too tall, and they are SO soft. Best things - you can buy them online and via TV commericals!

Always a sight to see

This time the trip home from Corolla was the interesting one...

Thankfully we heard that there was a HUGE accident on 64 West in VA Beach and all lanes were closed except the right shoulder - STREW that.

So I pull out my handy, dandy iPhone that has recently updated their Google maps with a "current location" device which basically doubles as a GPS - it locates any WiFi signals in your area and can pinpoint you on a map. It just keeps getting better (note: if you don't have one smack yourself upside the head with your plain old map).

Ok enough plugging the iPhone...so long (6+ hours) drive short...we end up on the eastern coast of Va Beach - my old stompin' ground GO VWC (not really they suck) and we ended up on Atlantic Way and I look over to see none other than The Thirsty Camel.

We went on vacation 2 years ago to the Va Beach area - mostly Chix beach but only locals are familiar and we drove up and down Atlantic for about a week looking at this hole in the earth. It was too good to pass up!

NCAA Tourney of '08

Ok I know it's not very big but I am in the final process of picking my teams on paper for the work pool. It is a very scientific process...first I start with Duke - then I elimiate North Carolina as quickly as I can...then I pick based on....well nothing much after that!

But I will be calling my dad tonight for his final picks which will NOT include Mason either since well they won out of some ungodly reason and that will never happen again, until hell freezes over.

Airport Stops Woman with Human Remains in Suitcase

Only in Germany...

MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) -
Two Italian women carrying luggage containing the remains of a man who died in Brazil 11 years ago were stopped by Munich airport police during a stopover on their journey from Sao Paulo to Naples.
"Airport security spotted the skull and bones when the suitcase was put through the x-ray machine," police spokesman Christian Maier said.
One of the women was the dead man's sister and she explained to surprised officials that it had been her brother's wish to be buried in Italy.
After showing his death certificate, the Italians, aged 63 and 62, were allowed on their next flight to Naples.
"We questioned the women and they produced a valid death certificate showing he had died 11 years ago of natural causes. As they were not violating any German laws they were allowed to continue their journey to Italy," said Maier.

Wooo this is good

Further justification that Diane Keaton is made of plastic and no celebrity really looks as good as they want us to believe....

This day is starting wonderfully...

First thing in this AM I went to make a copy and sitting right there on the copy machine was this oldie but goodie excerpt from the Washington Post -

THIS JUST IN...
Dawn Wells, the lovely Mary Ann from "Gilligan's Island" is serving six months' probation after allegedly being caught by cops in Idaho wiht marijuana in her car and failing a sobriety test. Well, 69, was driving back from a suprise birthday party in her honor. A lawyer for Wells told reporters that a friend testified that he left the half-smoked joints in her car without her knowledge. Hmmmm...we might have expected this from Ginger.

Ok so things wrong here -
Why is Mary Ann in IDAHO?? Why is anyone in Idaho? And she knows so many people there that they all gathered for a birthday party for her willingly?
I find it a bit sad that she's driving home from her own party alone. What happened to birthday booty?
And what is with people and leaving their drugs in other peoples cars (ask Lindsay Lohan for one), pockets (ask ANYONE on Cops) or house (Britney Spears?)? I just don't understand - if someone is a drug user wouldn't they rather hold on to said drugs rather than "leaving" them in the safety of celebrities or crack heads?? Hmmmm I say.

The World's Shortest Fairy Tale

I really loved this one...

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?" The girl said: "NO!" And the girl lived happily ever-after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn't get fat, traveled more, had many lovers, didn't save money, and had all the hot water to herself. She went to the theater, never watched sports, never wore friggin' lacy lingerie that went up her ass, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked fabulous in sweat pants and was pleasant all the time.

Polish Women are Tough

An elderly Polish man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite pierogi with fried onions wafting up the stairs.
He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.
Downstairs, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen, where if not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were hundreds of his favorite pierogi.
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
He threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture. His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the pierogi was already in his mouth. With a trembling hand he reached up to the edge of the table, when suddenly he was smacked with a wooden spoon by his wife. "Back off!" she said. "Those are for the funeral."
