I am NOT living in a time warp....I am NOT posting a NOT ME Monday post on a Tuesday.....I would never be such a lame-o....(I did NOT keep picturing these creepy characters singing "Let's Do The Time Warp Again" while typing the words above....I do NOT have that song stuck in my head now....oy...) ************************************************************************************* I am NOT extremely frustrated after spending many hours trying to comment on various blogs only to have this happen....After typing my comment, I am prompted to select a profile. When I click on google account, I get nothing. I click on post comment...still nothing...I went around trying to spread my comment love all over the place and discovered my comments were NOT being received. ARGGGHHH! This isn't happening on every blog I visit, just the ones that appear to have comments embedded in a post. (Pop-up window comments are still working fine.) I've tried to select other profiles...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! I did NOT have a lovely weekend with my family in Scottsdale while enjoying Catherine's Irish dance competition. I did NOT enjoy my huge turkey salad at Shogun on Friday. Chilly does NOT force us to eat at Shogun everytime we visit Scottsdale. He did NOT talk non-stop about their stupid famous turkey salad from the minute he found out we were going to Scottsdale. I did NOT want to shove the ginormous salad down his throat the minute it was served just to shut him up already about the turkey salad. (I am NOT admitting to the public that I love this turkey salad as much as Chilly does.) I did NOT find out all sorts of interesting things about Chilly from his best friend who joined us for lunch at Shogun that I can use in the future blackmailing of my husband. There are NOT photos involved in these sordid tales to prove these stories are NOT true. I am NOT ridiculously proud of this...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! I did NOT have my mini makeover this weekend. I did NOT return home from the hair salon looking like her....(seriously...my hair is NOT this streaky or these same colors...no offense, Kelly, this looks fabulous on you.... for those of you new to this style of blog meme...this is exactly what my hair looks like right now but with more bleachy streaks...) Chilly and the kids did NOT call me Kelly Clarkson all weekend. My stylist would NEVER do this to me especially when I told him this (see photo below) is what I wanted....I did NOT show him a photo of the color I wanted....My hair is NOT even more auburn than before with huge streaks of bleach blonde...(not that I didn't enjoy my previously auburn colored hair, I just wanted to shake things up for summer...) I did NOT make it extremely clear that I wanted all coppery red tones out of my hair. I did NOT say repeatedly I wante...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! I have NOT been staring at the computer for the last half hour trying to figure out what to post today. I am NOT so lame that I cannot come up with a post lately. My mind is NOT a huge space with giant question mark floating in the center of it. I did NOT spend my entire Sunday doing a major scrub down of my kitchen. I did NOT walk around sporting T-rex arms last night because my biceps were so tight from scrubbing that I couldn't straighten out my arms. My inner T-rex did NOT start hollering and jumping up and down with her short arms when she saw that a Land of the Lost marathon would be playing on the SciFi channel all day today. My family did NOT make fun of me either. (The question mark in my brain does NOT look like stainless steel because I cleaned so much stinkin' stainless steel on Sunday that it saturated my brain waves.) I am NOT missing Ohio this weekend. I would NEVER...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! I did NOT cry tears of happy happy joy joy upon seeing this on Saturday! I was NOT a very PROUD and DELIGHTED Mommy! I was NOT tickled to pieces seeing my sweet Catherine standing on the FIRST place podium for dancing her Irish reel! (I did NOT get really stinkin' mad that my dinosaur camera took a really bad photo of the event. I did NOT want to pitch the camera in the trash for having that stupid delay because it's sooo dang old. I do NOT want Chilly to buy me the new Canon Rebel that I went to see at Best Buy after the feis because I was NOT sad about my horible photos from our special day.) I did NOT think Catherine looked super adorable in her curly wig showing off her medals either. I did NOT get busted by the feis people for trying to take photos during the dancing part of the competition. They did NOT announce very loudly NO PHOTOGRAPHY OF ANY KIND WILL BE TOLERATED the min...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! I am NOT deliriously happy that I no longer have to drive Chilly to work every morning. I was NOT thrilled that his doctor fitted him with a "robocop" device so that he could use his broken appendage and drive. I was NOT ready to yank all of my hair out from the added stress of it all. I did NOT feel a wee lump in my throat and tiny tears did NOT form when I saw I lost a follower this morning. My chin is NOT trembling a little. I am NOT sad that sometimes it seems blogging is a fickle world...sniffle sniffle plop plop...(those are NOT sad tears falling all over my blog....) While waiting for what seemed like hours to be seated at my Mother's Day brunch (when we could clearly see at least 10 empty tables ready for customers), I did NOT say to my family, " I would rather the kids serve me a breakfast in bed of bad fish slathered with peanut butter and mayo on wilted lettuc...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! And we're off! *I did NOT squeal with delight and do a happy dance when my nephew (who is by the way, the world's best nephew) called to tell me he was accepted for the Canandaigua Braves Traveling All Star Baseball Team! I did NOT get all warm fuzzy! Way to go, Alec! (I did NOT get seriously peeved at his mother (my sister) for not having her camera to photograph his homerun that won the game on Saturday either....uh yeah...I'm talking to you, Aunt Oooo...what are ya gonna do about it? Spit on me from NY? Take your camera next time!) (Hear the crickets chirping??? This is the spot where I would NOT have a photo of Alec hitting that awesome home run....just sayin, Oooo...Oh...and Nana and Papa...Boo Hiss on you for not taking your camera to New York!!! Am I the only person in this family who takes a picture of anyone???) *While running errands yesterday, I did NOT say to my kid...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! Don't forget to send your prayers and well wishes over to her sweet baby boy, Stellan! Here are the many things I did "NOT" do this weekend.... I did NOT want to give Tommy at the Geek Squad a million bucks for once again rescuing me from my stupidity where my computer skills are concerned on Sunday. He was NOT absolutely wonderful (yet again) and I am NOT eternally grateful for all of his help! (wink..wink!) I did NOT go to the fancy McDonalds and take these photos for you to see. The crew did NOT freak out when they saw me snapping shots of their restaurant. The manager did NOT shine the "stainless steel" arches (that's right...no golden arches here!) for my photo. We did NOT giggle because they thought we were from corporate, and they did NOT think we were inspecting the cleanliness of their dining area. Wi-fi Lounge / Application Station McCafe Coffee Bar ...

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
