My friend and I went to The Vagina monologues at CMSU last Thursday. It was great...I laughed, cried, and about passed out during the moaning portion. Hilarious! I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to go with me. I think it's something every woman should see at least once.

Funny thing happened on the way to the Vagina monologues though! I had emailed my friend at her work FROM my work to confirm that she could go with me and I hear nothing back from her. I send another email asking why she never replied to the last one and she said she never got anything. So I proceed to send her the Vagina confirmation another 6 or 7 times. Finally, we meet for lunch and discuss the weird situation. Then it hits us...

HER COMPANY CENSORED THE EMAIL!!!!!! Apparently this particular company in Warrensburg will not let you use the word "vagina" in an email as it is considered inappropriate. INAPPROPRIATE!?! Ok, Whatever....maybe someone is missing one and they will be offended in some way. WHATEVER.

I guess if I need to confirm our tickets for next year I will have to email her and use the term HOO HA. "Are we still on for "The HooHa Stories"? It doesn't censor "hooha". How charming.

WOW...I think I had the bird flu....well alright maybe it was just a cold but it knocked me on my butt for a week!! NASTY STUFF!! I'm sure noone wants to hear about that!

I haven't been doing much of anything to talk about since I have been sick. I even had to miss the readings at the underground on Thursday!!!!! However, I am excited about going to see "The Vagina Monologues" this Thursday! I called for tickets today and someone had just called and let several tickets in the middle section go back!! So she offered me middle section 4 rows back! Heck Yes!!

Anywho, other than not winning the powerball jackpot and not getting to see the readings things are as normal as they get around here. Did I mention my daughter got her driving permit? OK, nothing is normal.

Last night was a renuion of sorts. Several of my husband's ex-coworkers and thier familes met at Player's for dinner. The conversation was amazing as we all hold one common bond. Each of them are "outcasts" from a certain political figure in town. Each of them held positions with this figure and each had been either crapped on, was blamed for, had disagreed with, or challanged the system. These were not the "yes" men & women.

You know when you are getting old when you have a couple drinks and are yawning by 10:00pm. But hey!!! The shrimp was awesome!

There has been a lot of talk lately about my 20th High School reunion. The talk consists for the most part of people trying to talk me into acutally putting this thing together. The whole idea has sent me into a major case of "homesickness". I am only roughly 10 miles from where I grew up. Graduated from Leeton R-X in 1986 with all 15 of my fellow seniors. Some folks try and forget where they came from. I've been to Europe and back...traveled across the United States...and I couldn't wait to get back to the Midwest. I live in Warrensburg now, but I am very proud of that little town I came from. It may not have been what some may consider "the place to be", but I can't imagine growing up anywhere else.

Hippyism of the day...

This weekend was nice. On Saturday we had a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) party and had a bunch of people over. Two of which I had not seen for several years so there was lots of hugging and screaming! At one time they all worked together. All, including my husband have gone on to do bigger and better things. It was nice to have the old group back together. I can't wait until next week!!! We are all meeting at players for dinner and drinks!!!

The Super Bowl was dissapointing. I really wanted the Seahawks to win. I think I may have been the only one rooting for them. They were such the underdog and who doesn't love to see the little guy win!

Super Bowl Sunday is fast approaching. I know it's true as I was at Wal-Mart only moments ago dodging people in the snack aisle. I am a little nervous about the half time show. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were on the tube this morning talking about the event. Keith looks like he has been dead for 2 years and Mick should seriously consider hanging up the spandex. It's not that I don't think these guys are great...I DO!! I think it's awesome that these "older" gentlemen are still rockin' and rollin' like that. If only we could all be active seniors such as they are. HOWEVER...I am praying there are no wardrobe malfunctions. *SHIVER*

Apparently, if someone is threatening you as a student at the High School and even takes a swing at you, even HITS you...you are to do nothing. Well, you can run to the principals office and TELL on the people doing it...but then you will just have to put up with more crap from the people bothering you because you have now gone whining to the administration. Defend yourself and you will be in trouble.

I once brought this question up to the staff: If someone were to come into your office and start beating you over the head are you going to fight back to defend yourself, or will you stand there and let them beat you until someone hears your cries for help, calls the police, and the police arrive to save you. THE RESPONSE....SILENCE.

Hippyism of the day...Silence can say so much.
