Maca Magic

Organic Maca Magic!! For women, Maca mainly increases lust or 'the appetite for sex'. This results in a higher frequency of sexual activity. Peruvian Ginseng. *stamina and energy * virtlity and sexual ability. This is supposed to be a natural libido booster. Of course my hubby got wind of this and bought some for me for valentines day. I have not yet tried it out, but I know one of us has, and she said it is amazing stuff! I will ony take it if I can end up with the results the same as hers (name to be confidential!)

Happy Birthday Lisa!

Happy Happy Birthday Lisa Dear! We are celebrating Lisa's birthday at Upper Crust on Wednesday after we drop off kindergarteners. Should be fun! Don't miss out. By the way her birthday is today 2/25.

GNO trouble

Hey guys I have run into a stumbling block for GNO on Friday. I just found out I will be leaving town this weekend. That means I'm out and so is my house. I could gladly reschedule and still do it at my house or you guys could do it without me. Marilyn you could still stay at my house if you want. Have fun whatever you decide! Steph

Surprise!!! - Sike

Imagine my excitement when I open the door this morning to the lady from the Goody Basket!! Steve had not sent me flowers on Valentines Day for ages, so I see her out my window and I run for the door, I got there before she did, I open the door and she asks me, "is this where Macey, and Tate live?" I wanted to cry, slam the door, and go back to bed, I mustered up enough of a voice to say "no, sorry" that must've given it away, because she really started to apoligize and said she did not want to come ask for fear that it was the wrong address like she suspected, because the instructions said brick house, but she was lost - whatever, then less than 5 minutes later she came back, and said my neighbors were not there and if she could just leave the package with me so I could give it to them later! This could go into one of those "worst things on Valentines Day" in a magazine.

What's Your Fave?

Happy Valentine's Day!

What would you say is the favorite, happy, memory-making,

sexy??, most romantic love song of all time?

Jonah has no idea.......

OK, really Jonah is gaining 10 new mommies. I was putting together some pictures for his picture book of us and other relatives that he will be close to ,to send to his orphanage ,and it hit me ,I really needed to include a picture of his Mommy's possie(sp?). After all I couldn't imagine coping with life without you all , every one of you.........Sniff Sniff..................

Anyway, I started a blog at " jonahsfamily.blogspot.com". I didn't want our housewives page covered with my silly adoption crap-ok, it's not crap but you know what I mean, so I post on this to keep y'all and whoever, abreast of how it's going. I am crazy in love with this little boy who has NO IDEA WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO!!!

Who wants to help me tackle a big project?

Okay ladies here's a big one. It is 12:00 a.m. on technically Monday morning and I can't sleep because I am trying to think of a way to get out of this dang winter slump. I think I have an idea. I need to paint almost my entire main floor!!! Anyone feel like some painting. I am really not loving the yellow color that it is now and my ceilings are yellow too. So depressing for me when I don't get a lot of natural sunlight till the afternoon (when we have sun that is). I need to find a good light taupe color and get to work. Maybe having a project will stimulate the endorphins. I would really appreciate a good "extraordinary work day" I'll bet if I get it all taped off, we could have at least the walls done in a day. Then I could maybe hire the ceiling done. What do ya think? Anyone in? I sure do miss you guys! I could use a good laugh with y'all. I would even buy lunch....how enticing is that? Marilyn

Fools Gold Review

I feel honored at being appointed to conduct the official review of Fools Gold. Before beginning the review I must admit that Matthew Mconohey, hey hey, whatever his last name might be is steaming hot. So now that point is out of the way and completely understood we can get on with a detailed review. Basically if you are going to see him, it is worth the 6 bucks or whatever it costs to get in. Wild hair, fit bod, no shoes, no shirt no service. Plus it's always cool seeing some hot guy with some semi-hot women searching for sunken treasure. Especially when they end up finding it (oh did I spoil the movie by saying that?) (If any of you ever go to a treasure movie not knowing whether or not they find the treasure, you have no business going to a treasure movie). So firstly the reason why it has taken me til 11:00 this morning to get the review started is that I had to repent all night for not walking out on the show. Then after that didn't do any good I had to visit my bishop. Still feeling dirty, I went to mass this morning and confessed to the local catholic priest, did some hail mary's and decided to start lent a little early this year. Now I am feeling clear headed enough to write. First of all I didn't know that I could see pure naked women from the waist up in a PG-13 movie. My bad. Guess i should see more movies. It took me a few seconds to realize what I just saw because it came out of nowhere. Not real classy. So when Matt gets rescued the first time by the party boat, make sure you close your eyes. Second of all I don't think I've heard that much swearing since Emily and Lana told of their adventure with the Shit Damn Hell lady in Utah. Wow, my ears are still ringing. At least we almost got a glimpse of Matt naked as a jail bird. So basically we see a side view and a back view. Not quite frontal but pretty darn close. Just enough to get the blood flowing. So now that my confession is complete let's say that the premise was interesting, the violence not too bad and of course there is the treasure and when, how, where they find it. The Ukranian side kick is pretty funny. The best part of the whole movie though was seeing the little 8 or 9 year old kids in the movie being exposed such uplifting, moral building entertainment. Got to love the parents who don't screen those kind of movies for their kids. Pretty sure I don't want my 9 year old boy seeing some bikini clad girl exposing her breasts to the general populous of the world. It's not like boys don't come to this earth with enough testosterone and sexual curiosity as it is. I am pretty sure that if i were to see that as a teenager, while at the movies with another girl that it would have peeked (spelling error on purpose. Pun intended) my curiosity to wondering what was lying under my date's partly see through shirt with a red bra underneath. I think what we need is more teenager sexual encounters and pregnancies to stablize our ........ (am I getting off on a political tangent in a movie review? somebody stop me please!!!). anyway I am sure that most of the visitors to this blog are female and pretty much want to go to the movie to see hot Matt, so you will not be disappointed. However, make sure you cover your hubby's eyes when the party speed boat picks up matt out of the ocean (that is after they throw him the brewed beverage and he fumbles with drinking it and it fills with sea water). I give it 5 stars for matt's body, 3.5 stars for his female counterpart, 2 stars for the dumb rich girl, 3.5 stars for the action, 4 stars for the beautiful oceanography, 2.5 stars for the bad guy, 4 stars for the treasure theme, etc. and 5 stars for coming home after and eating chocolate icecream with fudge chunks in it and snuggling in bed with my hot 6 star wife (can you get 6 stars?).

Date night for everyone?

Since some people are already going to this movie on Saturday night why don't we say it is date night for whoever can come to the 7:00 show. Maybe we could catch a treat afterwords. Somewhere should be open if we go to the early show. Mar, you can come anyway even if you husband is gone. By the way I saw Kate Hudson getting interviewed about this pic. She said she was definitely enhanced. Just thought you would all want to know this after our discussion we had in the hallway at the movie theatre last time.

A Great Friend....

BEFORE

In this case, one who comes bearing gifts (as in a very much needed new broom!) Thankyou Lana! You're the best!

AFTER

We ( Stokes & Shirleys ) spent Super Bowl Sunday over at Bill and Mel's house, we had lots of food and snacks, and blizzards, and sundays. Mell tried to wrestle Bill for the chair (she lost)!
Dave and his kids came, but Steph had to work all day so she didn't join us until the evening
Our boys went to a friends for their own super bowl party, but we had ALL the little girls with us they got a little stir crazy, football could only hold their attention for so long!

Lana..........EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

Hey!!! Just when you thought Lana was the queen of "free shtuff" ...........well think again! I was at STOKES FRESH FOOD MARKET (plug) on Saturday and Farm Bureau was doing a promotion there. I tried to avoid anyone and everyone as I was a stinky mess straight from the gym. Well, the lady carrying dozens of helium balloons literally followed me down the aisle and asked if I would play her game for the chance to win 5.00 off my groceries at checkout or even the grand prize which was your entire cart, no matter what you had in it. I never win anything and I looked like a hag so I reluctantly said ok and tried to hurry so she would leave me alone! Well, I answered the question correctly and she made me close my eyes and choose a balloon. I did and said BYE BYE. I was actually buying some food for a new family in our ward who were just moving in and did not have a stove in yet, so in the back of my mind I thought maybe it would be good carma- maybe I'll get the 5 bucks off. Well, I popped the purple balloon and confetti went flying out of it and you guessed it......... I was the grand prize winner! My groceries added up to 129.00 and it was all free!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, because I was looking so great they had to take multiple pictures of me with my cart, me with Steve, me with the Farm Bureau lady..... But all in all a SCORE for Mare!
