This week I'm #59 out of 66 on TMZ's "Trashy Fashion" contest. First prize is $250!!!! The final group will be posted on Monday, so wish me luck. The last time I entered I made the semi finals too. Always the brides maid, never the bride.

Actually, I think I look pretty spiffy.

I Received an Award HNT

I received this award from Jillie. Thanks Jillie. Here's what she posted on her blog.

"TONY...WHAT CAN I SAY....TONY TONY TONY! HAS ANYONE SEEN THAT ASS LATELY?????"

I think she's referring to my HNT post last week. I really never gave my ass much thought, because it seems so flat. Not even close to what I'd call a booty. Then I met Lori. That girl can't get enough of it. She puts her hand where I'm going to sit, so I sit on it. She almost never walks in front of me or next to me, always behind me. She also makes these guttural sounds or just says, "Nice ass." Now that I've received this award from Jillie, I might just have to reevaluate my ass or recommend they get their eyes checked. I'm leaning toward eye tests, because I just don't get it.

I know I posted a picture of my ass last week, but it seemed appropriate that I should post another picture of it again this week. So without further ado, my ass in all it's glory.


HAPPY ASS AWARD HNT!

I was as surpried as everyone else.....

...... when this plump, homely old lady walked out on the stage and started singing.

YOU MUST WATCH THIS!



I'll bet you were crying within the first 5 seconds.

I just read that Simon Cowell was already setting up a record deal for her on his own label.

ACTUAL MANUAL LABOR HNT

You better sit down for this one.

You sitting?

Good.

I did actual physical labor, aka, work.

Ya, I know your shocked, but even I am capable of physical labor. I try not to make it a habit, but my baby needed me.

Lori moved into a new place two weeks ago. Last weekend I volunteered to replace a few locks and door knobs. I mean, how difficult could it be? Right?

It was a royal pain in the ass to say the least. It took me two days to fix the front door, back door, garage door and the bathroom door. Then there was the storm doors.

Why do amateurs even attempt to fix things they have no clue about? People, when you don't know what your doing, ask someone that does, K?

Saturday I attacked the front and back door. The priority was the back door since it couldn't be locked.

Of course I had Sam to help me. Sam Adams that is, He's on the microwave.




A lot of wood filler and countless times moving the strike plate and the back door finally locked. The front door lock was a snap to replace.






Once I fixed the front and back doors, it was time to tackle the storm doors.








I don't have a clue why, but Lori thinks this shot is sexy. I am grateful for the praise, but I still don't get it.


It wasn't just me working, Lori was busting her ass. I don't have a picture of her ass, but I hope this will do.


HAPPY ACTUAL MANUAL LABOR HNT

My Mom HNT

My mom has been battling dementia and now Alzheimer for a few years. It's finally made her incapable of living on her own. On March 6th, she was admitted to the hospital due to VERY high blood pressure. She kept screwing up her meds.

It's a long story, but I had to make the decision to admit her in a long term care facility, but we're not sure where that's going be right now. I'm going to try like hell to make it an assisted living facility so she has a little bit of control for the rest of her life, but probably not.

I love you mom.
