A Florida woman was arrested Saturday for allegedly attempting to sell her 5-year-old son for $2,000. Jessica Marie Beers, 29, allegedly told a couple she met at church that she would sell them the boy’s parental rights. The couple, fearing for the child’s welfare, reported the woman to authorities, a statement from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said.
Really? WTF is wrong with people? That poor little boy..
Hang in there until 2:30 where he starts to break up.. he giggles for about 40 seconds…
Well, what can I say? No excuse for my poor neglected old blog. I remember the OLD days when I could easily blog 3-4 times a day. now, I tweet, facebook, and text. Blogging is so 2006. : )
I’ve got to update my blogroll – I’ve been trying to keep up with blogs using Google Reader but, sadly, I cannot keep up. I blame it on going back to work full-time. I never realized how much time I was on the computer for fun. Now, my job requires me to talk on the phone and do data entry from 9am until 5pm. OMG – tedious. I am not complaining as I am very happy to even have a job. I just wish.. well, I wish I had the dang winning lottery numbers. I need to retire… or at least take a vacation. I don’t know how some poeple can go on vacation so much throughout the year – how do they afford it?!? Wish I could afford it. ::sigh::
OK, enough of the pity party. So, what’s the big news? BlogHer 2011? Done. Can’t afford to go to those. I have no readership so I can’t get sponsored.. not like my boss would give me time off to attend. I do miss going to all the blogmeets & fun promo events. Guess I have to get my ass BACK into blogging and see what falls my way..
Well, off to tinker with this old blog and see what happens. Ciao!
Forgive me Internets – my week has been intense.
Eldest (the 14 yr old) has been laid up for over a week with some kind of disgusting virus. She was coughing and coughing… and coughing some more. Poor kid. Had to take her out of school today (again! after missing 3 1/2 days last week!) to bring her back to the doctor. She is now the proud owner of two inhalers, a script for Singulair, and has a note dismissing her from gym for the rest of the week. A side note – I am *still* hacking up from my bout with pneumonia over a month ago. UGH UGH UGH!
Other health issues, I am looking to have a surgical procedure done in March. I have had several other tests to prepare for the procedure – an echo cardiogram, a sleep study (which SUCKED!), and on Thursday, an endoscopy. Wheeeeee! Don’t you wish you were me?
Cold weather sucks. It chills me right down to my bones. If my feet get cold, I’m shot for the day. I must confess – my feet are freezing. I want it to be spring already!!
Well, New Jersey got another snow dump last night. Luckily, my town managed to get only 6 – 8 inches. The streets were very well plowed and our public works guys were on the ball. Of course, the schools closed and my girls are very happy about that!
As for me, I am at work. The girls are at home, cleaning the snow off the back porch and front walkways. I hope they don’t kill each other. You’d think at ages 11 and 14, they could figure out how to work together.
::wait for it::
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Stay warm New Jersey – the first day of spring is March 20th – only 67 more days to go!
I am an NFL junkie. I have been watching football for most of my years on this earth. And, as far back as I remember, I have been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I have been seriously following football for a while and I think I can hold my own in a football conversation. It’s always fun to watch the reaction of men when they realize that I do know a bit about football.
My favorite player – Hines Ward. 
The Steelers play on Saturday – and it’s a home game (at Heinz Field). I hope that my boys kick the crap out of the Ravens. Go Steelers! I am thrilled that the Eagles are out – booyah!
Well, hubby and I will be braving the elements tonight by trudging through the 3″ of snow, across the street, UP the driveway to my neighbor’s front door. We’re having a little gathering of friends to have some wine, talk, and watch some FOOTBALL! Woohooo! Go Seahawks and Go Jets!
Wine and dark chocolate.
Yummy.
Let me clarify lest you think I may be living high on the hog. The grand life.
Cheap Inexpensive zinfindel and dark chocolate Godiva squares.
Hey, I’m a happy camper. Now, excuse me while I sip my wine and relax for the night.
