Idols on Tour!
Posted by PJoyLynn , 7.14.2008 9:50 PM
Yes, yes, I went to the American Idol concert, with my nearly sixty year old mother on Saturday night. My father surprised my mother with tickets and asked me if I'd go with her since I'm such an AI geek. I had been wondering all day – is there an opening act for the top ten idols? The answer is no. There were nine opening acts for David Cook. Each of the top eight sang three songs each with only two cheesy group numbers. Little David sang four songs, and the tweens went wild. David Cook was only on stage from about 9:40-10:00pm. I thought Carly and Michael Johns were memorable too, but I couldn't tell you what Ramiele, Chikezie or even Syesha sang. I must say this is one of the squeakiest concerts I've ever been too – the only smoke blowing around the Dome was from the smoke machines. Some of my concert going highlights:

Livin [Olivia's new nickname, of course after Livin' on a Prayer and Dazed & Confused. She needed a new nickname to start kindergarten, there's another Olivia in her class – annoying. I've decided Livin is much cooler than Livvie] has been digging on bluegrass, Johnny Cash, and Alabama. Maybe she's got some of Grandpa Buster's fiddlin' in her… there are worse things than your daughter listening to songs about shooting your wife in the head or getting married in a fever, right? She has the June Carter part down. Tonight she was doing a self-titled "African Waltz" to Dixieland Delight - there is something a bit wrong there, I think. Now she's dancing around with a cardboard horse, which won't stop neigh-ing. It's a good thing I love me some Johnny Cash because we're on the third round of Tennessee Stud. Know what sort of bites? Livin is now reading over my shoulder, so I can't type about her now without her knowing. She's giggling reading this – twit! Go dance and be happy, let Mama to her business.

It is this day thirty-five years ago that James Donley Jewell Jr. was born. His story began in upstate New York, but is currently set in Ballard where he lives with his wife, his daughter and his two cats. On this momentous occasion, I, being his wife, should express my appreciation for being the leading lady in his story. How might I do this, you ask? Well, I am nowhere near as talented of a writer (except for the Young Author's awards in elementary school), but I am a planner. I can make lists like nobody's business. That said I give you five things I cherish in my life that I would not have if Jim had not twisted and turned his way to the left coast. 1 – but, of course, Miss Olivia. The depth and breadth of our lives, and our biggest adventure(!) together. 2 – Reading. I didn't really read before we started along together, now this is something I can never do without. Except for he still wants me to read "thinky" stuff which might never happen. 3- NPR. I never had heard of it whilst being a young twenty-something. He would wake up with it on his alarm clock, and I'd get so pissed off. Why do you need someone yammering at you and hearing about depressing stuff at 6am? Well, then came along the Sunday morning programs, which I miss and wish we could listen to in peace now. Someday, right? And, yes, now who wakes up listening to Derek Wang? I do. I refuse to take on Sports Radio – for real now that is yammering. How can you listen to it all day??? 4 – Vegetables. As most of you know, I'm a terribly picky eater. However, since my husband is also a talented cook, I have expanded my horizon some. I love me some asparagus, sweet bell peppers, veggie stir fry… none of which would be present in my life if not for him. 5 – City living. I probably would've been content to be an Eastsider (you know I love you all, but really can't see myself out there) if he hadn't taken me out and about in the city. Don't know what you're missing if you never see it in the first place, right? I'm trying to remember some of the first places… Greenlake (remember our "lunch break" there one day? I do.), Fremont, Wallingford, Ballard oh my. 206 represent. I could drag my list on and on because like I said before, I love lists. My life has been significantly enriched since he's been a part of it. Wishing him a 35th year with many ups and few downs... Maybe I'll stop singing "You take the good, you take the bad, you take it all, and there you have the facts of life. The facts of life." But probably not.

So, my new Word 2007 can automatically connect with my blog? What? Shoot, technology is cool. And I can log into my laptop with my fingerprint. Sweet…
An Email Address Built 4 2

So, can someone tell me about the joint email account appeal between spouses? Is this rather like a joint checking account? I mean, I can get into JJ's email if needed and he can log into mine, but really now... tell me about why the joint-ness.
(Lurkey-loo, I'm talking to you...)

Is it wrong to come home from work and eat 5 brownies?
I set such a shitty example for my daughter.
And tonight, I just don't care.
My double chin appreciates growth.

one of my most deliciously favorite mommy moments is happening right now.
peaceful olivia.
sleeping in my arms while we're cuddled up in big chair.
everything is calm and quiet.
reminds me of her sweet baby girl days.
this child 'o mine...
can talk and talk.
can negotiate.
can be relentless in her pursuit of want.
all characteristics that will serve her (and probably others) well in life.
but right now...
mom and dad are on the other side of that table.
rather weary, we are.

why doesn't anyone tell you that parenting just gets funner and funner with each passing year? she's turning four next month. she's already got the moods and attitudes of a 13 year girl right in the heart of puberty. does this mean she will be even worse as a teenager or does this mean she's getting it out of her system now? i'm hopeful, but feel like it may be the former,, not the latter.
bob book
Posted by PJoyLynn , 2.18.2007 9:45 AM
when i was in elementary school, my friend and i developed the bob book.
a secret place to keep track of our crushes.
hard to remember times like those.
where i was young, carefree and silly.
writing the initials of the boy i was crushing on.
never the full name, only initials.
you never know who might stumble onto something like that.
kitty sewage
Posted by PJoyLynn 9:36 AM
how funny is this... was just cleaning out some drafts in my blog and found this one. written two years ago, but still applicable to present day. so much for natural causes...
our family is drowning in cat crap and pee.
elliott has found that he loves the tile entry instead of the litter box.
it is really most excellent when going to leave the house and running smack into this foulness.
my husband is about snap his little Himalayan neck.
seriously.
we've been to the vet - it's not a medical condition.
it's behavioral. we ain't about to spend hundreds of dollars on a psychologist.
sigh. and we don't have the energy or patience currently.
is it wrong to hope natural causes come soon?
yes, i know it is.
anyone want a cat?
turn around...

every now and then i get a little bit nervous that the best of all my years have gone by
every now and then i fall apart
and i need you now tonight
i need you more than ever
and if you'll only hold me tight
we'll be holding on forever
turn around bright eyes

my best friend's wedding
Posted by PJoyLynn , 10.14.2006 9:42 AM
really - here are the pics of Tracy's wedding last weekend. Tracy and I have been best friends since we were two. We've stuck by each other through many chapters, and a new one is starting for her. I'm often forgetful to seek happiness, instead just waiting around for it to find me. Well, Tracy's seeking it and finding it. All my love to the newlyweds.
tracy
tracy and her folks. dick and sandy have been my second set of parents. when i was growing up, if i wasn't at my house, i was across the street at theirs. wonderful people - i'm very lucky to have them around me.
tracy and me
tina, tracy and me. the three t's - knocking out another wedding like rock stars.
Janna, Krissy, me, Tina. ALMOST all my girls - Jen was in the hospital with new baby Danner who arrived a wee bit earlier than planned. I've known these lovelies since elementary school - well Tina, Tracy & Janna are fellow North Bend Elementary alums. Kristen and Jen actually went to Snoqualmie Elementary (where the sluts are five miles west of NB), but we accepted them as friends at Snoqualmie Middle School.
Krissy Tits. Size H - that's right, all you B cuppers. 
Natey and Tina - one of the veteran married couples in our group. love me some Natey.
tracy and charles (aka uncle chazzy). a bad picture, but one of the only pics i have of charles... the happy couple dancing.
don't no
Posted by PJoyLynn , 9.26.2006 9:14 PM
was realizing tonight how often i use the words "don't" and "no". basically our co-op preschool handbook had me realizing this. instead of "don't eat the barbie boot", you're supposed to say "barbie boots are for barbie feet" or "we only put food in our mouths".
yet, another thing she can blame me for when she's thirteen.
life is...

finally got out of my job from hell! it took a full day to realize that i don't have to think about or stress about the job. this weekend was so frackin' pleasant. today felt like it went on and on and on. never was my mind bombarded with the pending work shit that normally is there. very cool to have my mind all to myself. very much feel free.
tra-la-la start my new old job at casey family programs tomorrow morning.
my life as a bulimic
Posted by PJoyLynn , 7.27.2006 10:11 PM
it's a short lived life, don't worry all you militants out there.
ate TOO much colby jack cheese just now.
with triscuits.
my favorite.
talking to jj on the phone and tell him i want to throw up.
he says go for it, it might make you feel better (supportive husband that he is),
he says, i've done it when i ate too much mcdonalds.
so, ok, i'll give it a go.
in bathroom, attempting to gag myself with fingers.
what happens?
puke?
no.
just peed my pants.
that's right.
peed my pants.
no puke.
i'm sure that happens to nicole richie all the time.
so, lessons learned tonight.
1) i am not good at making myself throw up - need to remember this prior to indulging in too much cheese
2) always go to the bathroom prior to purging. nothing like childbirth to screw this up for me.
no will care about this but it's my blog

Oh gross, gross, gross. Suzanne Whang is a lovely Asian woman who hosted one of my favorite HGTV shows, House Hunters. She was pleasant and nice, and a little cheesy too. NOW, Star Jones is hosting it. Oh no, no, no. She grosses me out. The post weight-loss Star creeps me out and her voice is creepy when she's talking about real estate.
I'm bumming. However, I will be fine. Don't worry.
