RED ALERT

Oh hey there..............been awhile since Ms.Bee posted huh?  Check this out!

I'll believe it when I feel it OK?  Because the weather here has SUCKED!  That's right I said it - SUCKED!  I think this is a cruel joke being played on me........

One more thing because I'm not in a gabbing mood at 10:15PM at night.........

If you're the praying kind, please pray for this most beautiful girl Emily, her Mom (who is pictured with her) - and her family............Emily was in a horrific bicycle accident last weekend in Michigan - she was wearing a helmet and she had a fractured skull!  Wear your helmets if you bike people!  And say an extra prayer for Emily and her family tonight!

Eileen is Emily's Mom - I grew up with Eileen and we were childhood friends.  We fought off bat colonies (really we were attacked) together - and brought a big Buick station wagon to it's knees just putting it in reverse and backing it into a tree (Eileen was at the wheel by default - she was older).  Eileen also had the Barbie camper!  Can you say jealous?   Eileen's Mom Mary, who is just a doll of a lady is my pseudo Godmother as my real Godmother passed away when I was an infant.  Mary stepped up to the plate and offered her Godmotherness to me because I was feeling sorry for myself and whining that I didn't have a Godmother! She is that kinda lady!  Here is Mary and her husband Jim - aren't they a handsome couple?

One more thing ( I promise for real) before I leave you...........Here is my most handsome son Patrick and his girlfriend Lindsey at the Prom 2 weeks ago...........they are so very cute no? :)

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail

Hoppin down the bunny trail............oh hey sorry - I was singing to myself - you caught me!

My week has been crazy every night with cake pop dipping, decorating and wrapping - whew what a job!  However - I am proud of they way these little baskets came out - and hopefully folks will be very generous when they purchase one as the money goes to a great cause - if you read my last post you know about Jim and his parents plight to help him live a better life!  What a great group of fire men and woman we have in this little town of 20,000 - they are the team that put together this benefit tonight - my cake pop making was just a tiny sliver of what is going on behind the scenes today!  I suspect these little baskets will go quickly! I think they are SWEET! :)  Happy Easter all!

Oh hey there!

Hey my loyal 3 readers - just me checking in!  It's been awhile - Ms.Bee has been so busy wrapping up hockey season, starting Lacrosse season, working, attending various social activities, cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, wiping up dog crap, (my friend The Zadge can relate!), picking up dog poop, cleaning up maple syrup from half the kitchen, vacuuming dog hair, cleaning toilets, she has had ZERO time to write!

I'm quickly checking in to let you know I've been just too damn busy!  Ms.Bee has undertaken a serious project along with all her other duties! Ms.Bee is making Cake Pop Easter Baskets for a fundraiser for my good buddy Jim down the street who has autonomic epilepsy - which is quite serious.  Jim suffers many grand mal seizures daily - Jim is 20 and the local Fire Dept has taken Jim under their wing because Jim LOVES the fire house and fire trucks.  He also loves helping out at the fire house when he is feeling well enough!  Jim's Mom and Dad are so devoted to Jim that they decided to take him to the Cleveland Clinic to see a world renowned specialist and see if she could provide some insight since the Dr's here in Boston had told Jim's Mom and Dad that they could not operate - Jim's Mom Sue NEVER gives up - she keeps fighting and continues to fight for Jim every day.  Their insurance company denied them help when they decided to take Jim to the Cleveland Clinic so our local Fire Dept has stepped up and decided to throw a fundraiser to help out the family!  What a great group of folks they are!

Here is Jim visiting last year with country singer Rodney Atkins - Jim LOVES Rodney - and with a little letter writing his family was able to arrange a visit in Nashville with Rodney!

There has been an extreme outpouring of generosity in the way of auction items and bake items - and since Ms.Bee didn't want to just bake cookies for the bake table - she decided to challenge herself a bit and see if she could make the cake pops!  I had a trial run yesterday and started making the pop part today - tomorrow and Wed I will start dipping and decorating and then wrapping.  I will put the baskets together on Thursday.  I will post pictures when they are finished - I am very excited and think they are going to look pretty darn cool!

I'll be back later in the week with some pictures - and please keep Jim and his family in your prayers - they're a great family!

I'm married to an ADD, sports addicted, obsessed hockey parent.......

Who happens to be the VP/Director of IT has his world wide organization. Could someone please tell me why the man can't miss an 8 year old hockey game for a night out with friends that we've had planned for 5 months?  Or why he loses the car keys at least twice a week - or his wallet at least once a week?  Or why he thinks that doing it his way is "the right" way?   Tell me why we can't discuss a new garage door but can discuss $2100 worth of retaining wall work that has to be done because "someone" decided we had to build a hockey rink this winter - which now needs $2000 smackaroo's worth of wall work - that doesn't even include the ASSphalt or cement!

Huh?  Huh?  Could someone PLEASE tell me? 

April Fools?

So here is the weather Forecast for Friday:

And I'm going to go a step further and show you exactly what they're saying about this pretty little picture:

Friday: Snow starts early - before 5am - becoming heavy with near white-outs by lunch. Rain/snow line AT THIS POINT - is along RT. 3. South and east of there it's rain, north and west, it's snow. Storm wraps up by 9-10pm Friday night. Some power outages likely.


Really power outages?  Do you know my friend Lewis Black?  You know when Lewis swears and points his fingers and gets all F'ing this and F'ing that?  That's about where I'm at with this snow shit - ENOUGH ALREADY!

Here's a little poem I'd like to share - a little long but it tells the story so well!

Massachusetts Snow Diary

AUG. 1

Moved to our new home in Massachusetts. It is so beautiful here. The city is so picturesque. Can hardly wait to see it covered with snow. I LOVE IT HERE

OCT. 14

New England is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are turning all different colors. I love the shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the hills and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly they are the most peaceful animals on earth. This must be paradise. I LOVE IT HERE.

NOV. 11

Deer season will open soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such an elegant creature. The very symbol of peace and tranquillity. Hope it will snow soon. I LOVE IT HERE.

DEC. 2

It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed in white. It looked like a postcard. Went outside and cleaned snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight today (I won). When the snowplow came by we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. Mother Nature in perfect harmony. I LOVE IT HERE.

DEC. 12

More snow last night. I love it. The snowplow did his trick again that rascal). A winter wonderland. I LOVE IT HERE.

DEC. 19

Snowed again last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work this time. I'm exhausted from shoveling. Fucking Snowplow!
DEC. 22

More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from shoveling. I think the snowplow hides around the corner and waits until I'm done shoveling. That Asshole!

DEC. 25

"White Christmas" my busted ass. More fucking snow. If I ever get my hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives that snowplow, I swear I will castrate the dumb bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on this fucking ice.

DEC. 28

More of the same shit last night. Been inside since Christmas day except for when "Snowplow Harry" comes by. Can't go anywhere. The car is buried in a mountain of white shit. The weatherman says expect another 10 inches of this shit tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?

JAN. 1

Happy Fucking New Year. The weatherman was wrong (AGAIN). We got 34 fucking inches of snow this time. At this rate it won't melt until the 4th of July. The snowplow got stuck down the road and shit for brains had the balls to come to the door and ask to borrow my shovel. I told him I broke 6 shovels already, shoveling out the shit he plowed into my driveway. I broke the 7th shovel over his fucking head.

JAN. 4

Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back a deer ran out in front of the car and I hit the fucker. Did about $3,000.00 damage to the car. Wish the hunters would have killed them all last November.


MAY 3

Took the car to the garage in town today. Would you believe the body is rotting away from all the fucking salt they keep dumping all over the roads. It really looks like a piece of shit.

MAY 10

Moved to North Carolina today. I can't imagine why anyone in their right fucking mind would want to live in the God forsaken State of Massachusetts.


AND this my friends sums it all up - perfectly!

More Hockey and the Lobster Pot

Ms.Bee and company attended their 2nd annual Lobster Pot Hockey Tournament last weekend on Cape Cod...........

Here is the Man's Man - it's hard to take him serious with the kids wearing Lobsters on their heads! 

This last one is my favorite because this Matt is whining about going to the "Sinbin" - the ref made a terrible call - "digging too hard at the puck" - seriously???????  Is there such a thing??????  I guess I'm a hockey crazed Mom but thats what they teach the kids - dig until the whistle blows!   Matt works so hard - he wants to be Bobby Orr - he wears #4 proudly..........but mostly - he's having fun and that's what really matters - some of these hockey people are WAY over the top crazy!

I get it - it's an intense game - but these are little kids folks - lets remember they are 8 and 9 years old - they should have FUN and that is most important - and that is why I like the Lobster Pot Tournament - because all the kids are winners - great time was had by all!

St.Patricks Day

Top of the afternoon to you bloggers!  Happy St.Patrick's day and all that good stuff!

So do you know that in Ireland St.Patricks day is a Holy Day of Obligation?  In the United States it's a Holy day of Drunkeness! 

Did you know he is said to be buried next to St.Brigid?  Tis true - but of course!

He is the Patron Saint of Ireland and he chased the snakes from Ireland - oh good - I am moving there because Ms.Bee HATES snakes and any likeness of them!

Happy St.Patricks' Day to you all!
