Nuu Nuu For Brains

I can't afford much of anything right now because the paychecks are not very regular and gasoline, well, you know.
So OF COURSE I NEEDED $100 of QUARTERS!!!!!

Stupid, stupid, stupid. The ad in the newspaper said I only had 48 hours to order
my uncirculated Arizona quarters. They haven't been released for circulation yet, so I thought it would be pretty cool to get one roll. I dialed the number like a friggin sheep.

But I had twenty minutes on hold to rethink----"maybe I should get more than one roll, that way I'll have some Father's Day presents to hand out..."

So now I've got six rolls of quarters on their way. Great.

On a brighter note, I had the most awesome dream. My favorite show in the whole wide world, Ghosthunters, is on the Sci Fi Channel every Wednesday night.
I dreamed that they were in our area, doing some ghost hunting, and they got a hold of me and asked if I'd join their cast. Oh, it could happen.
Best dream ever. Here's a pic of my new boss, from the Ghost Hunters:


Went to see Indiana Jones last night, and, well, the first comment that we all had as the movie ended was.....
"That was out there."
Can't say much more than that because I'm sure it would ruin it all. Just know, that movie is "out there."

Pioneer Woman

I've got to give credit once again to the pioneerwoman.com blog page that Brandy has a link to. I should probably link to it as well, considering how many compliments I've gotten from her recipes.
Last night I made lobster bisque with "Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeno Thingies" on the side. Salad, also, but the salad wasn't anything spectacular. It's been a sort of challenge around our house to find unique recipes for dinner and last night I was certainly the hero. Thanks, Pioneer Woman!!

On Saturday night, I drove an hour on the Interstate with a friend of mine to go
to the Kingman, Arizona Relay For Life. I wanted to see how they did things and also I wanted to show their committee my support. We ended up having fun, because Kingman is where there are a lot of politicians and county workers that I know, and many where there. We ended up socializing more than I thought we would!
They had a great crowd of participants, though:



We start work on our own Relay For Life tomorrow. The 2009 Relay will hopefully have the military theme that I've been pushing for. I've got all kinds of cool resources that I could use to get a military vehicle display and of course Steve would provide a flyover with the Cobra helicopter. Our stage could be set up like a USO, and the Survivor Reception area could be like the "swamp" on M.A.S.H.
Every year our opening ceremonies include a presentation of colors by the Marine Chor League, so if we have a military theme we could step it up and have representation from each branch.
