* MY PASSPORT IS FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!! I can now travel internationally....now I just need to wait until we leave on July 15....how crazy am I going??
* Apollo Anton Ohno won Dancing with the Stars last night. He was my pick, along with Billy Ray of course, from the beginning. I may have a bit of a crush on him now.
* I must write a very strongly worded letter to Fox Soccer Channel. They showed the big Chelsea-Man. Utd. game last night, which I DVR'd, as I was at work, and they cut it off just as they were going into overtime. It wasn't a live game, for pete's sake. They should have allotted adequate time for it!!!!
*But...Chelsea won 1-0 in double OT!! YAY BLUE!!!! They are now the FA Cup Champions!!!
* Tomorrow is the opening night of Pirates 3. I am going to the advance screening at 8 p.m. on Thursday....and Friday is Pirate Day at school.
* Recent pictures are on my Facebook....I'm just going to put them there until I can figure out the whole picture thing on this blog. I can't get it to work right!

Me and Heather at the Cub Foods
Tonight, Heather was over to hang out for a few minutes. I love Heather! She's just turned 18, and I've known her since she was a toddler...basically forever.
As we run over to Cub Foods, in her new Dodge Stratus that she got for her 18th birthday two months ago, I mention that I am so happy to see that she has the seat pulled up as far as possible. I also have my car seat pulled up all the way, which is necessary for me to be able to reach the pedals.
Heather says that she's never understood those driver's ed teachers that say that you should have a book's length of space in between you and the steering wheel. And then she decides she would like to try this, and see how it feels.
Quote of the night #1:
"I'm going to test something here, and if you die, it's not my fault."
Walking into Cubs, with Heather wearing a tank and a pair of capris... Quote of the night #2:
"I wish I had remembered to bring my jacket with me. I feel like a whore right now."
And....to show how much I love my Heather.....I scaled a cooler, just to get a package of bacon that was in the back.
I scaled a cooler at Cubs.
Fun times on a Thursday night.

This and That
Wow, it's been like a month since my last post. It's been a very long, draining month, but here's the highlights:
* I got a part time job at Babies R Us. I need more money, to pay for England and stuff, and figured if I'm going to work anywhere like that, Babies R Us would be the best place, as I am an expert at the product.
* Regular job is hell right now. Won't go into details here, but if you want to know the whole gory story, just ask me.
* Nathan's birthday is next week, on the 8th. I can't believe he's 4!! AND, Barrett's birthday is on the 14th. He's going to be 7!! It's all a bit insane.
* Another Goebel baby is coming around Thanksgiving! Congrats to Todd and Julie!
* Chelsea is still in the hunt for the league title. Joe Cole is amazing right now. Go Joe!!!! They play Arsenal on Sunday. It's a game they have to win, as they need all the points they can get right now if they want to win the league title for a third time.
* New season of Hannah Montana started last week. I know, it's the Disney Channel, but how can you not like Billy Ray Cyrus?
* Ella Marie started soccer this year. She is wearing the required uniform shirt, but other than that, everything she has on is pink. Pink shoes, soccer socks, shinguards, soccer ball, shorts, everything. It's not hard to pick her out of the group.
* Survivor is almost over. Alex (my pick) got voted out last night. It sucks.
* I need man.
* I think I might want to open up my own daycare/preschool center. I already have a name for it: Excelsior Prep. It's the name of the prep school that Lex Luthor went to in Metropolis. Any thoughts on this idea?
* Two months until camp. And, I've got nothing done for it. Panic is about to set in soon.
* Qdoba is the downfall of my existance. The steak nachos are a little piece of heaven.
* I saw a guy in Sam's the other day buying a box of 52 pair of underwear. That's a lot of underwear.
* Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. Have a margurita and celebrate!

Happy Day!
Joe Cole is BACK!!!! He officially started training with the team again on Sunday, and should be playing Wednesday against Valencia. It's about frickin' time!!! He's been out all season.
You may now do a saucy jig to celebrate.
In other news.....work is crap. Literally. Last week, I got pooped on twice and Audrey peed in my hand. I need a new job.

Randomness from the last week or so
- Today is the first day of the two day long St. Patrick's Day celebration. I have eaten potatoes about 4 times already, I believe. Man, I love potatoes.
- I may or may not have scared a life out of my sister's cat today.
- Next weekend the Professional Bullriders Association is in town for two days. Hmm....cowboys...........
- Joe Cole is hoping to return to playing for Chelsea in about a month. He's been out for most of the season so far due to injury. It's been a long season without my Joe.
- My Punky has been in Florida for the last week with the family. I am having serious Punky withdrawl.
- This week, I began taking a prescription sleeping pill. I can go to sleep fine, but keep waking up during the night and staying awake. I didn't realize how tired I was until Saturday, when I took the first one and slept 12 hours straight. Guess I was a bit tired!
- Sunday was Clayton's third birthday. I can't believe he's three!! I remember holding him in the hospital when he was just 6 hours old. I got him a Betta fish and a fish tank. He is so excited...and promptly named his fish Nemo. He asked me several times why he can't pet his fish. It's a hard concept for a three year old.
- I have lost 11 pounds so far on my "eat healthier" plan. Yay me!

Potatoes, St. Patrick's Day, and all other things Irish
So, I did a dumb thing. Although I'm not Catholic, in recent years I have been trying to give something up for Lent, just to see if I could.
This year, I gave up potatoes. It's a hard thing. I am Irish and English, it turns out. More Irish, though, like 90%. In case you couldn't tell by my pale white skin, blonde hair and numerous freckles. I know, it's a shock. Just believe me on this one. I'm really Irish.
Giving up potatoes is KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!! There are some days when I just eat a big bowl of mashed potatoes with stuff added to it for lunch or supper. That's how much I like potatoes.
My one reprieve is that I put the stipulation in that I can eat potatoes on St. Patrick's Day. It would be impossible to eat Irish food on that day and not have something made from potatoes involved. Two weeks to go until my day of reprieve....................
But on to the exciting news..........
This summer...I'm going to the UK!!!!
First off, we're going to Ireland. Our first stop will be the Cliffs of Moher (below). Aren't they amazing?
After five fun filled days in the land of my ancestry (and the land that gave us Guiness), we're off to Scotland. While in Scotland, I plan on buying a piece of land, so I can become an official Lady. And yes, I will be making everyone call me Lady Miranda...so if you want to go ahead and start now so you can get used to it, feel free.
From there....on to England. First stop.....Pemberley. From Pride and Prejudice, the six-hour mini series...not the crappy movie that came out last year. Trust me, it sucks wind compared to the BBC version.
This is Lyme Park, which they used for Pemberley. And, yes, I do plan on stealing a bottle of water from the lake out in front, where the famous Mr. Darcy-coming-out-of-the-lake-looking-all-wet-and-sexy-scene took place.
Speaking of Mr. Darcy...I also plan on stalking Colin Firth while there.......
And Joe Cole. A tour of Stamford Bridge (Chelsea's football stadium) is on the first day of London's itnerary. The tour includes the locker room, so even if I don't see him, I can still try to leave him a note in his locker. I know, it's all very junior high, but what's the alternative?
Four and a half months until we leave. I don't know if I can wait that long!!!! The wait is going to kill me if the loss of potatoes don't first!
