Bethanne Want-a-Be

I've been issued a challenge. Any who knows me knows that I can't turn down a good "challenge" The challenge is by Eddie, Bethanne's dad to "keep up her legacy" of the random off the wall blogging. ( Eddie didn't call it that, but that's how I perceive it, in the nicest sort of way!) I haven't been training for this event. My humor is best served in person and it's just sort of "happens".......I feel the pressure already...Oh I wish she were home!

Anybody ever go to the doctor to be weighed only to find that their scales weigh you like 5 pounds more than you weigh at home? and What's up with the weight watcher scales ? I weigh 7 pounds more there than at home. I worked at a feed store once where we weighed trucks. WE never saw the trucks. They drove up on a scale and the weight was recorded inside. I think the doctor's office needs to do that..you know..make a room where you can go in "all natural" and just weigh ( so those 8 pound blue jeans don't weigh with you) No one would see you and you'd get your "true" weight. That's my take on it.


I hate a running toilet. We have one that is a 3 flusher. You never get it right the first time. How is it we can send a man to the moon but we can't make a toilet that will flush the first time or stop running after you jiggle the handle or the little ball in the back? Just wondering.

My brother in law told me in 8 years that I could apply for AARP. My brother in laws photo may be on milk cartons in your local grocery store soon. (You'll get that in a little while)

I remember when my parent's were 42...I was 11....scary.

Wonder why people think that no one sees them pick their noses while they are stopped at stoplights in their cars? Just wondering about that too.


Angry man shoots lawn mower for not starting
Jul 25 - By Associated Press
A Milwaukee man was accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start. Keith Walendowski, 56, was charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

Bet that lawnmower won't give him anymore troubles, ya think?

My son thinks I'm thirty. My son is a wonderful kid.

SAO PAULO, Brazil - An 11-year old boy is in Brazil's media spotlight after sinking his teeth into the neck of a dog that attacked him.
Local newspapers reported Thursday that Gabriel Almeida was playing in his uncle's backyard in the city of Belo Horizonte when a pit bull named Tita lunged at him and bit him in the left arm.


That dog probably couldn't read...the family most likely had a sign that said "Beware of Kid". That's one tenacious boy! ( Look it up Greg, Tenacious is a word!)

Almeida grabbed the dog by the neck and bit back - biting so hard that he lost a canine tooth.
Stonemasons working nearby chased the dog away before it could attack again.

I was in an antique store the other day with my good friend Amy. We saw a sign for an original can of Chef Boy Ardee...it somehow described the product as "gourmet".....ugh....which led me to read about the Chef a little more:Hector Boiardi

Yes, there is a Chef Boyardee, although his name is not spelled that way. Hector Boiardi, an Italian immigrant, came to the United States in 1914 when he was only 17.
Upon his arrival, he immediately got a job as a chef at New York's Plaza Hotel, where his brother worked as a waiter. After moving to Cleveland, he perfected his spaghetti and meatball recipe in 1929. His customers kept asking for bottles of his pasta sauce so they could have it at home, and he obliged. He then added cheeses and pasta to the sauce.
The results were so popular that he started to sell the products in area stores, and later in stores outside the area. Boiardi remained an advisor in the canned pasta business until his death at age 87 in 1985. And yes, that is Hector's picture on the label.

Greg told me being 42 was like being 21 twice! I'm not sure how I view that statement. I really don't feel 42...what is it supposed to "feel" like? I had a lady tell me that people shouldn't have babies after 35. She might have "re-thought" that statement since I had both my kids at 35 and 37. Wouldn't trade or do it differetly.

Has God been as good to you as he has to me? I am so blessed!

Hey Shelley...my toes are still pink! When I lost 30 pounds I think I'll get a tatoo ( not really!) that says WW for Weight Watchers since I owe them alot for getting me started!

I love Mark Lowry..so I leave you with this! I didn't have a big shindig at 40...but I did at 30..that a whole 'nother blog!






Ok.......that's not a Bethanne but it's all I've got for the moment. I'm off ( you all suspected that , right) to my classroom to get it in order. Let the games begin!

Have a great day!
