Advertising Opportunity Fundraiser

By Laurie | June 12, 2009

Are you looking for more business expenses to help you at tax time?

I have a great advertising opportunity for your business that also supports a great cause.

Jenison High School Cheerleaders are holding their annual T-shirt Advertisement Fundraiser. For only $100 your company name, tele and/or URL will be printed on the backs of 100 T-shirts. Your company will be represented with no more than 20 other companies per shirt.

Who will receive the T-shirts?

As a sponsor you will receive a shirt, but more importantly, 100 shirts with your company will be “sling-shotted” into the audience at Jenison Football games.

What does your investment go toward?

As with any sport, Cheerleading comes with a hefty financial investment. Proceeds help with activities such as gymnastics, cheer camp, stunt camp, and competition expenses.

Plus, if you purchase a T-shirt Ad via this blog posting, your investment will directly support the JV cheerleader in this household!

Don’t delay. Reserve your Ad by June 25, 2009. Contact me for the paperwork. Paypal or checks gladly accepted.

Poop is a Palindrome

By Laurie | May 17, 2009

Y’know, palindromes – spelled the same frontward and backwards. Just like Bob, Lil, Nan, Hannah, Mom, Dad, wow, pop, did, sees, bib, toot, and well… poop.

I wonder how old I will be when I finally stop using Poop in my daily vocabulary. When the girls were little, it was to be expected. “Did little baby waby have a bowel movement?” just never had that certain ring to it. I also don’t think it’s very nice to say that your little toddler just “took a dump”. Then there are those parents who are afraid to say Poop. Instead they sound much more mature saying that little junior had to go Ca-Ca or Ockie. Yes, indeed, sounds much better.

Then you reach a season in your life that the children seem too old to say Poop. Instead we avoid the word altogether and say something like “Ugh! Who stunk up the bathroom?” Or “Hello – it’s called Scentsy room spray – look into it.”

Apparently when you are an adult around other adults it’s ok to use the S-word.

So back to the palindrome Poop. When we had sweet old basset hound, Tracy – well she was old enough (84 in people years) to say ‘dog crap’. Actually I think we said that when it was in the backyard it was dog poop. When it’s on the bottom on your shoe then it becomes dog crap or dog s-word.

Baby basset hound Bella has been living with us for a week now, and I think this household barely goes an hour without uttering the palindrome: Poop. Poop. Poop. Poop. Did Bella poop? Take her outside, she probably has to poop. Take her for a walk so she can poop. Oh mercy, it must be her shots, you should have seen the poop! Oh you pooped?! Good girl! Good girl! You’re a super pooper! (ok, no 86 that last one, I just threw that in there for creative flare… we don’t really tell sweet Bella Belly that she’s a super pooper, that’d be dumb.)

This afternoon she was outside in her playpen … trying to poop. She did. It resembled pudding, and then she proceeded to lay in it! Oh yes I did just say that. Oh stop your groaning – I’m the one who had to clean it up. Clean up the poop, poop, poop I mean.

And now here I am writing about poop. And making the correlation that it’s a palindrome. Oh for the love of poop …. I just hope that by the time I reach the big 5-0 I’m still not using palindrome poop in my daily vocabulary.

Bad New Good News

By Laurie | May 11, 2009

Well the bad news is that last week we had to put our sweet old basset hound, Tracy down. She was 12 years old and had cancer. She had a good long life and we miss her dearly. You can see a tribute to Tracy here.

The good news is that last night we picked up a new 7 week old basset puppy. She will never replace Tracy, but she sure is a sweetheart and just what our family needed.

You can see our un-named puppy here.

Got My Hair-Did

By Laurie | March 31, 2009

So if you have a new hair-do, then is the passive verb that you got your hair-did? Anyhoo, I got my hair-did today. I like it. It’s evolving. Very short buzz cut in the back with long beveled red in the front. Sounds kinda freaky but it’s actually very sassy. It’s fitting. I was going to snap a pic of the new do, but I already have my pjams on and my face is wilted, so that will never do. Instead I found a similar pic of what it looks like.

Got my hair did

What do you think? Is it similar to what you were picturing? And yes, I’ve put on some weight - but don’t mention it, I’m a little sensitive to the issue, thank you MENopause very much…cruel joke. Har de har har - I’m not laughing.

Regardless, my hair is stylin’. If you need a good stylist, go visit GINA at BELLAGIO SALON in Grandville MI.
