My broken heart.....

I have LOVED Geoff Tate of Queensryche since the early 80's.

and I love Geoff, probably as much as I love Johnny Depp
(and you all know my "stalker" type love for Johnny)

Anyway, on Saturday night, Randy and I went to their concert at the Myth in St.Paul which was awesome...

FYI: Queensryche has sold out every time that I have seen them, believe it or not!

I thought it would be kind of cool to walk out by their tour buses after the concert to see if could get a glimpse of the "guys" and / or a possible autograph (cause you never know)

Keep in mind I have never done this before either (waited out back)... so now I am a true groupie..!


Long story short: Several of the group members came out, about 45 minutes later, as Randy and I stood there in the rain (yes in the rain like dumbasses) waiting on autgraphs that I wasnt even sure I would get...and the one I really wanted was.. GEOFF's..which I didnt even end up getting.

This is what happened: after waiting for an hour now.. in the cold RAIN, Geoff came out of the building, walked up to the tour bus and waved to us (there were maybe 8-12 of us waiting there) and he got on the tour bus..


He NEVER came back off... they started up the bus and we were instructed to move out of the way...

Can you freak'n believe that..??..tired or not, there werent very many of us out there, AND we HAD been waiting.. in the RAIN...hellllo

The real kicker is they are from SEATTLE Whats a little rain to them??

WTF every one of their concerts he talks about how its all about the "fans"..yadda yadda ...yeah well.... GEOFF, KISS MY GRITS!!

After 18 loyal years.. I get the brush off...I shouldnt take it personally but wow, it hurts! It hurts deep!

sniff sniff

Snot!

THIS is what I get for:

Playing in the rain
Playing in the mud

Walking in the rain
Walking in the mud

Working in the rain with no jacket
Working in the mud with no jacket

Huzzah!

Our new t-shirts!!!

There are days when I just have to post more than one thing.. you know, that perfect picture will come along and WHAMMO, another posting!!

This saying is a bit of an inside joke for a "few" of us.. and it really IS the perfect saying, ending, or tag line to just about anything.

Knock Knock...?
Go F&#K Yourself

Hey, I got A's this quarter..!
"Super, now Go F&#K Yourself!"

Mary had a little lamb
ahhhhh Go F&#K Yourself!

See how that works in my group of friends...I know, we're sick!

Only we have transformed those three little words into SOOOO many more meanings...

They mean LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, UNDERSTANDING... they mean I GOT YOUR BACK...and.. GOOD FOR YOU.

You know, actually... those three words dont really mean any of that crap... but, we say them and think its pretty damn funny anyway!

AND we say them EVERY chance we get!!

Scary..twilight zone type stuff....

You all scoffed when I claimed that sometimes, exceptionally scary dolls and puppets will come to life and follow you around with sharp objects, only to collapse innocently into a corner when you turn around.

Well, scoff no more. Need further proof? Get some holy water ready!

Do you NOW see my fear of puppets and little dolls .... huh??

The uniqueness of Me..

Im a "unique" sort of person, I am. I know this and have never tried to be the "norm" that I think society has set forth.

In saying that, I have already spoke of my being a "DORK" and proved that beyond, what I think I needed too...and in todays post, I am really going to enlighten you to another part of my being.. my music.

On Saturday.. my husband has agreed (I think reluctantly) to join ME at a concert.He has only been to one concert with me before and it was mellow.. so this is, not so much!! This one is not just any concert either..but my

ALL TIME FAVORITEST BAND IN THE ENTIRE FREAK'N WORLD, THERE IS NO ONE BETTER EVER..!!!...!!!..

and I WOULD LICK THE SWEAT OFF of THEIR LEATHER PANTS kind of favorite band....


:Things that MIGHT happen at the concert: (ok, they WILL happen)

*My reactions could scare the hubby at said concert

*Could quite possibly get a QR tattoo

*May "actually" lick the sweat off of their leather pants

*Whiplash will accur from "headbanging" and "rocking out"

Once again, I do not disappoint.

I am a 35 year old tattood suburban mother who loves Queensryche and Vodka.

I get into rainy nights and making sand castles...so what!



Queensryche kicks Ass!!

Smarty pants and Hell

Guess who, through all the turmoil of life and chaos got A's again this quarter, there by protecting her 4.0 ... ok, Ill give you a hint..

*She's a big dork *Blogs on a semi regular basis *and today has auburn hair

Its ME !! Its ME!! Whooooo Hoooo.. I rock!! I kick ass!! Yea, Im cool!! Nothing like a good pat on the back.. even from yourself occasionally!!

Another "enlightening" joke
from my dear friend Taylor...



Satanic Starbucks



A man died and went to straight down to hell.

The devil greeted him and gave him a guided tour of the place. He told the man that there were three rooms he could chose from in which to spend eternity.

The first room was full of flames so hot the man couldn't even breathe. He told the devil that there was no way he was choosing that room. So they moved on.

The next room they came to was full of people who were being beaten and tortured. It looked so painful the man could not watch. He told the devil he definitely didn't want that room, and they moved on.

The last room they came to was full of people who were just sitting around drinking coffee and relaxing.

The only thing was that they were standing around in about two feet of poop. The man looked for a while and then told the devil this room would be all right. The devil gestured for him to sit down and the man took a seat. He did, sipped his coffee and felt really pleased with his choice.

After a few minutes, a voice came over the loudspeaker and said, "Break time is over! Back on your heads!"

My Lil Debbie Snack Cake

I decided since Orley has her own "shower toy" and SHE is married.. that I could have my own little thing too.....

and what do I luv more than anything in the world......Little Debbie Snack Cakes
i.e. brownies!

I decided that Trevor...( yup, Trevor) was going to become my Lil Debbie Snack Cake

...he of course has no idea (unlike Butch) and that is ok with me...

I'll stalk Trevor from afar,in a loving way (after all I AM 35..hello)!







<~~ The drummer in red!!











*Maybe its the Pirate hat.....

*Maybe its the brown eyes.....

*Maybe its the way he holds his drum between his legs....

*Maybe its his rugged unshaven look....

*Maybe I need a cold shower...


Ohh and yeah, the hubby already knows of my infatuation with Trevor and Johnny Depp (another brown hair/brown eyed man, hmmm curious aint it!)

and the hubby has his eye on a belly dancer or two out there... so it really kind of balances out nicely!!

p.s. My ultimate Trevor moment: The walkway through Bad Manor.. Trevor was walking through on his way to Feast and he gave Orely and ME Kisses on the cheek.. OMG, I almost died!!

Voices in my head .. want me to insert naughty saying ---->________ but I wont!! Use your imagination...

Me & my Mel

I luv Mel Brooks movies.. I mean, how can you not..?? I really..truly do, its almost sick at how much I dig Mel Brooks movies.

I think you can remember a line from every movie that he has ever made, or at least a memorable moment from each movie!

Like History of the World, I love how he says: "Its good to be the King" frequently!

Come on.. that is classic!




Harvey Korman and Gene Wilder in this movie are amazing!

and I love Mongo...!!

and not only that but a BLACK sheriff...(someone should echo,"a BLACK sheriff")

come on, its priceless!!



Again, Gene Wilder kills me!!

"Roll in the Hay, Roll in the Hay!"

There is so much about this movie that is RIGHT, I dont even know where to begin.. its one of the greats as far as Im concerned.




This is my ALL TIME favorite !!

Dom Deluise with the cotton in his mouth .. Blink'n.. Achu..

I may have a chemical imbalance in my head..for loving stupid humor movies like Mel's..

but I gotta tell ya..

I truly laugh my ass off every time I see them.


..and last but not least...SPACEBALLS!!

Barf!! a Druish Princess!!

Need I even say more!!

So the more I let you into "me", the more you might realize, I am a bit "off" which will either:

A. Make you afraid B. Make you love me even more C. Make you afraid of loving me

A beaver for my birthday!

My 35th birthday is on Saturday

and my "ever so lovely, couldnt live without her, in my chaotic life bestest friend" Taylor..

..thought I should start my Tuesday off with a pre-birthday smile.

So yeah, the BIG 35 this year!

I think Im ok with truning 35, Ive acheived most of the goals Ive set out for myself except for one.. and its a big one..

being a home owner by the time I was 35.

Of course, I still have til next September to either come into a lot of money or find a sugar daddy willing to buy me a home ( yeah, like THAT is going to happen)

just because..I felt like it!

Because Ive had a CRAPtastic day and I REALLY needed a laugh, I thought I would create this post!

"Why Peg...you might be asking yourself....???"

Well, to be honest, this picture just makes me laugh...and I figured, why the hell not!!



Yup, you are seeing correctly.. its a bobblehead fashioned in the likeness of the Ratchatcher..

Maybe if I work real hard, then maybe one day my dream of having my own bobblehead will come true..Ohhh wait, that was a horrific nightmare...

A little secret Ill share with you now: I hate little dolls like that, they give me the willies...ick!! Dolls, puppets, ventriliquist dummies (yikes)....

But I digress, the picture still cracks me up~~

Daddy's little girl

I post this because I can't imagine what it must be like for the Father of the Bride to walk his baby girl down the aisle.

There is definately something serene about this moment caught in time..

A moment forever.. remembered by many, but for the bride and her daddy... this moment will truly be one that they will cherish...

Through the many years, through the birthdays, the grandkids.. for all time to come.

Congratualtions again Kris...

Going to the chapel....

Tomorrow one of my best friends, Krisy.. is getting married! YIPPPEEEE!

Its been an unbelievable courtship for them, and a whirlwind romance (of course).

He truly IS the perfect man for her.

I just want to wish them happiness... and give them my love!!

p.s. My bridesmaid dress is HOT (well, maybe its just ME in the dress)!!!

:)

Friday Chuckle

Taylor girl cracks me up..

Los Dias De Los Muertos

I was reminded today by David that my FAVORITE time of the year is fast approaching...HALLOWEEN!!

*Disclaimer: the following pictures prove one again that I am in fact a dork.



I know, I know.. its a bit early to be thinking of Halloween, but if you are like me (and I assume you are not) then you put a lot of thought into your costume, only to change everything at the last minute. I get all giggly like a little school girl (no I will NOT be wearing that costume) at the thought of shopping for my stuff....



This year however, I am going to be a part of the Trail of Terror.. and I am totally stoked. A chance to dress up and really REALLY be a complete ... annoyance to some 16 year old hot shot (watch him squeel like a sissy girl)!! Ohhhhhhh yeah!!!



As I was researching the typical Halloween stories, of how Halloween came about, I actually found I preferred the Mexican traditional story...and I wanted to share that with you:

Los Dias De Los Muertos
Celebrating the Mexican Holiday

The Days of the Dead

Every autumn Monarch Butterflies, which have summered up north in the United States and Canada, return to Mexico for the winter protection of the oyamel fir trees. The locale inhabitants welcome back the returning butterflies, which they believe bear the spirits of their departed. The spirits to be honored during Los Dias de los Muertos.

Los Dias de los Muertos, the Days of the Dead, is a traditional Mexico holiday honoring the dead. It is celebrated every year at the same time as Halloween and the Christian holy days of All Saints Day and All Souls Day (November 1st and 2nd). Los Dias de los Muertos is not a sad time, but instead a time of remembering and rejoicing.

The townspeople dress up as ghouls, ghosts, mummies and skeletons and parade through the town carrying an open coffin. The "corpse" within smiles as it is carried through the narrow streets of town. The local vendors toss oranges inside as the procession makes its way past their markets. Lucky "corpses" can also catch flowers, fruits, and candies.

So, it's that time to put on the "Thinking Cap", get the "Creative Juices" flowing (your nasty Mark) and come up with something extra special for this year...

Hmmmmmm.....the theme is Hollywood Horror Movies..... Hmmmmmm

Ill let you know what I come with... if you have suggestions that are "legit".. Im all ears!!!
