If I am ever caught misbehaving it's because I am channelling Jackie again and cannot be held responsible for my actions.

Yoda (Jackie's Cat) needs a GPS tracking system.

Carlee is an excellent lost cat finder.

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

You should not confuse your career with your life.

You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

I will never get tired of watching Space Shuttle launches.

Jason IS scary...you must fear him.

There are two songs I am tired of hearing on the radio: "Don't cha" - Pussycat Dolls and "Don't Funk with My Heart" - Black Eyed Peas. Now really...do we need to play them twice an hour???? Enough already.

I have seen Sue dance.

I think that this year UUU should show up to the Christmas in August show as Misfit Toys.

There is nothing like six adults playing Marco Polo in a pool at night.

Pool tubes are not meant to be used to launch water across a backyard. ESPECIALLY when they are aimed at me, BEN!!!!

(If I had $1,000,000)
I'd buy you a monkey

"Never try to catch a platypus when you scream like a pussywillow" - August 6, 2005

Ben is now my hero - big thanks for the ride on the motorcycle - even if ya did try and scare me to death 5 or 6 times!!!

It's amazing who you run into in a dark movie theatre! BTW...Those OOOMPAHS were SCARY!!!

Common Phrases Heard AT Work: "I have had enough fun for one day"; "I must be living wrong"; "Oopsies"

FYI to all....I'm evil!

Just because someone does something for you doesn't mean they can come back and demand that you return the favor. When something is done out of "kindness" it should never be used as leverage at any point. Do it out of the goodness of your heart or NOT AT ALL

One good thing that came out of my broken engagement is that I have a firm grasp on what I don't want. I wouldn't take any of it back. I have moved on and will always be grateful for I learned from it. No regrets!

I earned this job...and no one can tell me different.

I will go where I want, when I want, and will sit anywhere I want.

Congrats to my college bud Angela and her man Patrick on their upcoming marriage this August!

Working FT, a second job at the ice cream dump on the weekends, & taking a class. Yet, somehow I will manage to get out to shows this summer.

Isn't technology great - finally get our new GB in good shape and some smuck hacks it.

OH bla dee...life goes on....

Why is it that everyone calls me on my cell at the same time?

To Batchick: Hey, how old is Jason? Do you know?
Batchick: Ummmm
To Batchick: He's in his 20's right?
Batchick: Sort Of
To Batchick: 25? 26?

Jackie = Satan

It was Gi-normous!

Okay guys, when you say you "just want to be friends" this means you give up any right to call after midnight and before 9 am, to stop by at will to get "hugs" for no reason, or to tell someone what car they should or shouldn't buy.

Sometimes I wish I was meaner.

I am now the adopted aunt of at least three children. Christmas is going to be VERY expensive next year.

The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver. -Leno

Everytime I plan to go to an outdoor UUU show it decides to rain. So, if I got to an indoor UUU show will it rain on the inside?

"Change your thoughts and you change your world." - Norman Vincent Peale

"Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay, the more wrinkled you get."-Garfield

Snow sucks!

I fought the mountain. The mountain won.

Hold up, wait a minute, they're gonna get your call in a minute.....

Common workplace phrase: Sugar Plum, Stinkpot

I admit it, I am hooked on watching American Idol.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. ~Ellen DeGeneres

Weather forcast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning. ~George Carlin

The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus. ~Oprah Winfrey

Hey Sue the following quote is just for you....

"I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung....." - Baby Got Back, Sir Mix-A-Lot (funny he didn't mix a whole lot after that, did he?)

It's all over but the crying, the flailing of limbs, and the throwing of breakable objects.

I cannot live without my cell phone.

I want to hear a Duran Duran song at a UUU show someday.

I long for another UUU costume night. Those were awesome.

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal.
But lately I am beginning to find out that I should be the one behind the wheel. "Drive"~Incubus

Eat, Drink, and Be IRISH!

I am NOT a perfectionist - but I do like to know what I am doing ahead of time. Last minute changes in plans drive me NUTS!

Some people's trash needs to be sent to the dump. It's stinking up the joint.

Oh wait - it already was sent to the dump - my mistake.

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. ~A. Whitney Brown

You don't have to suffer to be a poet; adolescence is enough suffering for anyone. ~John Ciardi

Just because I don't get to as many UUU shows as I want doesn't mean I don't love the band anymore. Just means that life just keeps getting in my way.

Thanks to countless email surveys my friends now know me inside and out. So why do I still keep filling them out????

The trouble with the rat race is even if you win you're still a rat. ~Lily Tomlin

"Realize always that you are capable of reaching difficult goals and exceeding them, of dreaming wonderful dreams and making them come true, of achieving the only kind of success that really matters: that of being at peace with yourself and with the world around you."
- Edward Cunningham

On October 11, 2003 my cousin Ray died from AIDS. He had turned 35 three days before his death. One week later, my friend Debbie past away from breast cancer. I loved them both and will miss them tremendously.

Debbie, thanks for bringing me and Rob together. I know you played a part in that. I guess you knew I needed someone to make me laugh.

Only one person knows what I mean when I say I am not disappointed in them anymore. Thanks for giving me time....and for being a friend.

I have learned that some things are just out of my control and that there is only so much I can do on my own.

Carlee...one year ago we ran into each at a UUU show....and things were never the same. Thanks for being a great friend.

Jenny, Shannon, Trish, Aimee, and Christine....the GREATEST bunch of chics EVER!!!!!

Sue, can't wait till that BABY gets here. :-)

I HATE Snow...and Winter.

I want more UUU shows in NEPA!

According to Webster's.....FIDELITY implies strict and continuing faithfulness to an obligation, trust, or duty. LOYALTY implies a faithfulness that is steadfast in the face of any temptation to renounce, desert, or betray. Just thought I would pass that info along.

I will never again use the term "best friend" because they never end up really being that.

I don't understand how someone can think a hand shake and/or a kiss on the cheek can undo 9 months of silence and anger without ever once actually TALKING to you.

There are some people that can lie so well that you WANT to believe them.

Believing a lie is one thing...believeing it without question is another.

You can't always be right and you can't always win.

Be friends with someone because you want to, not because you feel obligated to.

Change is good.

You have to see a "car race" between Sue and Carlee. Makes getting to Heil's more interesting.

I don't take betrayal well. I don't EVER forget it.

Real friends are very special, but you have to be careful because sometimes you have a friend and you think they are made of rock, then suddenly you realize they're only made of sand. It's a terrible thing to go through life thinking that you have a rock on your side when you haven't. ~Maria Callas

Things ALWAYS come back to you in the end.

Karma is a BITCH!

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
~John F. Kennedy

Lying is done with words and also with silence. ~Adrienne Rich
