Carrie Underwood's video story

I'm fan, but she's made a few songs that works together. Starting off with 'Last Name' where she meets 'John Doe' in none other than Las Vegas while at a club with her friends. She drank just a bit too much. He asked her dance, but never bothered to get his name. They leave the club right early in the morning where a he meets the valet; female valet who is a blonde. They go to the casino where he sees another pretty blonde. Guy has a thing for blondes. She gets married by Elvis whom Priscilla gives him a wink. The question remains; where the sam heck are her friends telling her that's a bad idea? Conscientiously she gotta be thinking; "

You'll see a boy gonna give you the world. But he's gonna leave your cryin' with your heart in the dirt. His lips are dripping honey, but he'll sting you like a bee." Carrie should really have been paying attention. "Why, why do you gottta be so blind? Won't you open your eyes?" 'John Doe' was silently flirting with every woman they came across. It was no surprised that he cheated. While he with some blonde he don't know that she trashes his truck that he won in Las Vegas, but he will. She did carve his name in the seat. It even becomes headline news. But Carrie wants to 'Undo It'. She had herself to blame and wants to erase him from her past, by killing him. The women meet him in an ally where they kill him with a black Cadillac.  At funeral, the preacher said he was a good man and his brother said he was a good friend. The two women part ways, but not for long. They go on a crime spree together and are eventually caught.


Her partner in crime is Miranda. 

The songs featured: Last Name, All American Girl, Good Girl, Before He Cheats, Undo It, Two Black Cadillac's, and Something Bad. 
Here's Carrie's YouTube page where the songs are featured. You just have to scroll down. https://www.youtube.com/user/carrieunderwoodVEVO/videos

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Robert Frost

Among School Children

I walk through the long school room questioning
A kind old nun in a white hood replies;
The children learn to cipher and to sing,
To study. reading books, and history,
To cut and sew, be neat in everything
In the best modern way-the children's eyes
In momentary wonder stare upon
A sixty year old smiling public man.

Porphyria's Lover

Porphyria's Lover
By Robert Browning 
(1812-1889)

The rain set early in tonight.
The sullen wind was soon awake.
It tore the elm-tops down for spite
and it did its worst to vex the lake. 
I listened with heart fit to break.
When glided in Porphyria; straight.
She shut the cold out and the storm
and kneeled and made the cheerless grate.
Blaze up, and all the cottage warm.
Which done, she rose and from her from
and laid her soiled gloves by, untied
her hat and let the damp hair fall.
And last she sat down by my side
and called me. 
When no voice replied,
she put my arm about her waist, 
and all her yellow hair displaced,
and, stooping, made my cheek lie there
and spread, o'er all, her yellow hair.
Murmuring how she loved me-she
too weak for all her heart's endeavor
to set its struggling passion free
from pride and vainer ties dissever.
And give herself to me forever.
But passion sometimes would prevail.
Nor could tonight's gay feast restrain
a sudden thought of one so pale.
For love of her and all in vain.
So she was come through wind and rain.
Be sure I looked up at her eyes.
Happy and proud at last I knew.
Porphyria worshiped me; surprise
Made my heart swell and still it grew.
While I debated what to do. 
That moment she was mine, mine fair. 
Perfectly pure and good: I found
a thing to do and all her hair
in one long yellow string I wound.
Three times her little throat around 
and strangled her. No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain.
As a shut bud that hold a bee
I warily opened her lids; again
laughed the blue eyes without a stain.
And I untightened next the tress
about her neck, her cheek once more.
Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss
I propped her head up as before.
Only this time my shoulder bore
her head, which droops upon it still.
The smiling rosy little head.
So glad it has its utmost will.
That all it scorned at once is fled.
And I, its love, am gained instead!
Porphyria's love; she guessed not how
her darling one wish would be heard.
And thus we sit together now.
And all night long we have not stirred.
And yet God has not said a word!

Snow Flakes

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Out of the bosom of the air,
out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
over the woodlands brown and bare,
over the harvest-fields forsaken, 
silent, and soft, and slow
descends the snow.

Even as our cloudy fancies take
suddenly shape in some divine expression, 
even as the troubled heart doth make
in the white countenance confession, 
the troubled sky reveals
the grief it feels.

This is the poem of the air, 
slowly in the silent syllables recorded;
this is the secret of despair,
long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
now whispered and revealed
to wood and field.

Hilarious Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving is closing in and I wanna share something that happened one Thanksgiving a few years back.
     Of course it was a typical Thanksgiving day. Skip forward to the cooking. The food is halfway done. When my bird Max comes flying into the kitchen. She crawled out from a crack underneath my door. This was first of many escapes from her. She landed in the mash potatoes. Did I mention that my four cats and dog was also inside? A flying bird certainly got the cats attention. Though she didn't end up as Thanksgiving snack. I grabbed her from the mash potatoes and took her to my room and stuck her in the cage. She didn't like that. She called be a 'bitch'. The mash potatoes were thrown out and the bowl placed in the sink. Fresh mash potatoes were made. The cats and dog were getting antsy with the smell. Finally everything was done and we sit down to eat. The dog on floor with Buttercup, Socks on the chair with my sister, and Shadow and Moonshine were on the table....were the food was trying to take food from out plates. Buttercup and Bandit were kinda the smart ones. The turkey was kept on top the stoves. Buttercup jumps on the counter and Bandit stands on his hind legs. Mama jumps up and puts the turkey back inside the oven. Socks jumps over on mama's chair and just takes her slips of turkey before we even had a chance to react without even touching anything else on her plate though she did give the cats and Bandit the remains of her plate anyway and slips of turkey so that we can finish eating in peace.
    Thanksgiving is especially a challenge if you have pets and you could wind up with a funny memory that will last a lifetime. But you wouldn't change a thing. 

Classic Cartoons

     The controversy continues over the classics and how they influence the kids.
     The newest aimed is the lovable Winnie the Pooh all 'cause he only in a shirt. Its a silent way of saying going half naked is OK. That's what their basically saying. The PARENTS are the one's that buys their kids clothes. DON'T BUY CLOTHES THAT SHOWS EXCESSIVE SKIN FOR KIDS. He's a teddy bear for crying out loud. If your kid is going half naked, I think the parents are to blame. I think Mari Stroman McGoldrick (facebook) says it best: Donald Duck don''t wear pants either and neither does his nephews. Minnie and Daisy's dresses are really short. Bugs and Daffy are naked with the exception of costumes and wearing drag. Then there's Betty Boop and her infamous sexy red dress. Tom & Jerry and their fights. Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote. The list just goes on and on into the Disney realm. Ariel changes herself for a guy.
     The most cartoons today are just completely ridiculous and highly stupid. If you're kids don't realize that cartoons are just that, cartoons. They're not real. Then that fault lies with the parents who's kids have hurt themselves mimicking the classics.
      The classics will ALWAYS be the best.

Balance

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael, look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot and the Antarctica in the South will be very cold. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people. God continued, pointing to different countries.
"This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large area and asked, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. That's the SOUTH, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coastline. The people from there are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found traveling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hardworking and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. A truly great people."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE."
God replied wisely..."Wait until you see the loudmouth obnoxious people I'm putting north of them.

Kick Your A**

1) Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Waffle House. It's just a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. If you confuse them, they'll kickyour ass.
2) Don't laugh at our Southern names (Merleen, Bodie, Ovine, LutherRay, Tammy Lynn, Darla Beth, Inez, Billy Joe, Sissy, Clovis,etc.). Or we will just HAVE to kick your ass.
3) Don't order a bottle of pop or a can of soda. Down here it's called Coke. Nobody gives a flying damn whether it's Pepsi, RC, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up or whatever -- it's still just a Coke. Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to an ass kicking.
4) We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you e.g., Welty, Williams, Faulkner. We are also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of hillbillies, or we'll kick your ass.
5) We have plenty of business sense (e.g., Fred Smith of Fed Ex, Turner Broadcasting, MCI WorldCom, MTV, Netscape). Naturally we do, sometimes, have small lapses in judgment e.g., Carter, Edwards, Duke, Barnes, Clinton). We don't care if you think we are dumb. We are not dumb enough to let someone move to our state in order to run for the Senate. If someone tried to do that, we would kick their ass.
6) Don't laugh at our Civil War monuments. If Lee had listened to Longstreet and flanked Meade at Gettysburg instead of sending Pickett up the middle, you'd be paying taxes to Richmond instead of Washington. If you visit Stone Mountain and complain about the carving, we'll kick your ass.
7) We are fully aware of how high the humidity is, so shut the hell up. Just spend your money and get the hell out of here, or we'll kick your ass.
8) Don't order wheat toast at Cracker Barrel. Everyone will instantly know that you're a Yankee. Eat your biscuits like God intended -- with gravy. And don't put sugar on your grits, or we'll kick your ass.
9) Don't fake a Southern accent. This will incite a riot, and you will get your ass kicked.
10) Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we know better. Many of us have visited Northern shit holes like Detroit, Chicago, and DC, and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it here, Delta is ready when you are. Move your ass on home before it gets kicked.
11) Yes, we know how to speak proper English. We talk this way because we don't want to sound like you. We don't care if you don't understand what we are saying. All other Southerners understand what we are saying, and that's all that matters. Now, go away and leave us alone, or we'll kick your ass.
12) Don't complain that the South is dirty and polluted. None of OUR lakes or rivers have caught fire recently. If you whine about OUR scenic beauty, we'll kick your ass all the way back to Boston Harbor.
13) Don't ridicule our Southern manners. We say sir and ma'am. We hold doors open for others. We offer our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet little gray-haired grandmothers or they'll kick some manners into your ass just like they did ours.
14) So you think we're quaint or losers because most of us live in the countryside? That's because we have enough sense not to live in filthy, smelly, crime-infested cesspools like New York or Newark. Make fun of our fresh air, and we'll kick your ass.
15) Last, but not least, DON'T DARE come down here and tell us how to cook barbecue. This will get your ass shot (right after it is kicked). You're lucky we let you snowbirds come down here at all. Criticize our barbeque, and you will go home in a pine box -- minus your ass.

Sky

"The rainbow comes and goes.
And lovely is the rose.
The Moon doth with delight.
Look round her when the heavens are bare.
Waters on a starry night.
Are beautiful and fair.
The sunshine is a glorious birth.
But yet I know where'er I go.
That there hath past away a glory from the Earth."

Struck Gold

     This ghost story was told to my grandmother who told it to my mother who told it to me. Its been awhile since I've thought about it. So its a very short story. 
     The story goes this couple were visited by a ghost. It told them where there were hundreds of dollars. (I can't remember if it was a cave or their basement.) Together they go to that destination. Low and behold there's the money. 
    I wish a told me ghost where there was tons a money.

The Flamingo

    This story is more of a 'sign'. A warning of something bad to come. They are real. Signs can be a number of things, but it doesn't mean that your house is haunted.
     When you think of a flamingo, you think of a pink bird with long legs, right? That's not the case sometime ago. It was a flamingo, but it was brown and seeing a flamingo in Virginia, even very rare considering they don't exists in Virginia....as far as I know.
     It was a school day, I remember that much. We (me & my sister) got up earlier than usual because mama was taking us out for breakfast. Outside getting ready to get in the car, we see down by the creek running through our yard, a brown flamingo. We're thunderstruck. We just stand there looking at it. It walks underneath the bridge. We continue to stand there, but the flamingo never comes out. I walk down there, look underneath the bridge and there's nothing there. I shrug to let them know there's nothing there. They don't believe me. I mean we're standing there watching it the whole time. We never took our eyes off. The only exits are in sight. They walk down to the creek and peer under and nothing. Again we're thunderstruck. How can that be?
     We head back to the car with a million questions. We sit there at Dairy Queen discussing it. One of the things is that some days before our rent lady's grandmother fell ill. We took that as a sign. A very bad sign. Few days after the disappearing flamingo, the grandmother dies.

The Lady In Pink

    Most of us have ghost stories. Since its Halloween, I'm gonna tell my stories. My first memory experience is this beautiful thin, blonde shoulder length hair lady wearing a light pink gown.
     The room I was sleeping in was at the end of the hallway, which was dubbed 'Grandma's Room'. Across the hall is another room where our cousin stayed with our granddaddy (Its was we (me and my sister) called him.) It was late at night (typical) and I woke up to this lady in a pink dress walking the doorway. I didn't see her walking down the hallway. I only saw her when she reached the edge of the door frame and walked into my cousins room and disappeared into blackness. I didn't feel threaten or anything. I just went back to sleep.
     In the morning I asked my cousin did she know that someone was in her room last night. She had no clue.
     Every night after that I spent at granddaddy's I saw her. It got to be a regular thing. Walking the frame of the door and disappearing into the back wall. One night as she was walking the familiar path; she stopped and looked towards me. Though she was transparent, we met each others eyes. We both knew each was there. I was startled, but still, I never felt threaten. Just stood there looking for a couple seconds before she continued her 'path'.
     Every few nights when I was at granddaddy's, she would stop and we gaze at each other. She never entered the room.
     Years later, I heard from my cousin one night that he heard the door rattle. He slept in granddaddy's room. By then he was closer to us in a nearby nursing home. He lived there with his brother, mother, stepfather, and cousin. (The one I mentioned earlier.) He never saw anything, but every now and then the door would rattle.
     It was by then that I remember something from my childhood. It was Mother's Day. My cousin 'T' was was baking a cake for her mother. A few minutes before the two had an argument over money, but she still made the cake. Something happened and she all of a sudden didn't feel so good. She left the unfinished cake on the table to lay down...in 'Grandma's Room'. We hear a collapse and we see her on the floor not moving. Me and my sister were immediately asked to leave. Not to worry, we had family next door. We stood watching from the window. We saw on a gurney a white sheet covering someone. We were told that she had died. 'T' is who brought my sister and cousin (door rattler) close. They looked up to her. Her heart as burst. I think it was rupture. I don't remember much and she was four and a half months pregnant. It was a little girl, but she took didn't make it. I guess 'cause she was delivered too early.
     'T' was buried in a light pink dress with the baby resting on her arm. She had shoulder length hair. Tall and thin. She was ghost I saw all the time. That's why I never felt threaten. My granddaddy has since past and the house sold. His son's wife all doing. My mama had nothing to do with it. We wanted to keep the house in the family. It was paid up. She just wanted the money, but that's another story. Anyway, I wonder from time to time, do the new residents ever see her? Or was it just meant for me? To know that she's alright?

Skeletal Lovebirds


I came across this photo on Facebook of this skeletal remains of a couple holding hands for 1,500 years. Which is just 'awe'. I searched and I found a article NBCNEWS did of the find. Seems legit. They are of the Roman Era (5th & 6th Century AD) in Central-Northern Italy. While it doesn't really state what happened the article mentioned the Black Plague. They weren't rich. They were buried facing each over and sometime after the burial the husband's head somehow rolled. You can read the full article in the link provided: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/44990654/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/roman-era-couple-held-hands-years/#.U1AXyPldWJE

Pets


  Prissy, Lucky, Rollie, Gypsy, Bear, Tim, Redskin, Peaches, Blackie, Snowball, Betsy, Blackie  (Those are dogs.) Blackie (cat), Little Blackie (kitten), Peter (rabbit), Blaze, Tricksy, Tammy (Those three are horses.) Bambi (goat), Max (bird), Buttercup (cat), Bandit (dog), Shadow, Socks, Angel, Ricky, Sundae, Moonshine, Patches, Rocky, Smokey, (those are cats) Faye (dog) Chocolate, Flower, Star, Tom, Hissy, Cherry, Dallas, (those are cats) Blackie (rabbit), and Paisley (bird). And my sister's dog Bubba. 
Now, this ranges from when I was little to now. Lucky, Betsy, Bandit, and Socks were murdered (this goes from my childhood to a few years ago). Faye was hit by a car. Prissy died of cancer and kidney failure. Blackie (cat) fell in a pit of oil. Tammy ate acorns. Shadow's kidney's failed him a few years ago. Max died of old age a few years ago. Peter died of old age. Buttercup was catnapped a few months back. Little Blackie got in the motor of the car and my father didn't know and started the car. Star was killed by my daddy's friend's dog. Peaches died of (what I was told) hiccups. Rollie was hit by my uncle. Blackie (dog first one) fell in the barrel of ice water one winter. Sundae, Moonshine, and Chocolate, my grandfather took in 'cause we moved and they didn't allow pets. The rest disappeared when my father died.  Have no idea what became of 'em to this day. It's still a mystery. 
In case you're wondering I just have Paisley, Blackie, Ricky, Smokey, Rocky, Patches and my sister's dog Bubba who stays with her. I grew up on a farm.  Again they weren't all on my farm. Like I said it's just a list of all the animals I had throughout years. 
Since I wrote this in 2014, Paisley has since died and we acquired another cat named Skeeter. My sister's dog Bubba died. She got another named Brandi.
Since I wrote the above, Skeeter died Friday, June 10, 2016. She dearly miss her and I blame myself 'cause I have insomnia and the sleep medicine makes me sicks didn't see the heatstroke signs. I'm an alert person, but when it flares up I don't know up from down. And second, she laid up in some insulation.
Update. Patches died in October 21, 2019. She was anemic and didn't catch the symptoms quick enough.
I now have, Little Bit and Rocky, a bunny was given to us, (Fred) and an orange kitten (Pumpkin Pie Houdini) was dropped upon us.

Kate At SportsAid Athlete Workshop

Three months after Prince George, she makes a public appearance. Though she's been spotted numerous times after birth. This is her second public appearance. Kate rocks a white with blue stripe top, dark blue blazer, dark blue skinny jeans, and dark blue clogs. I reckon that is what you call 'em. Not to mention dark blue eyeshadow. Well she matched. Lol. I do that a lot too. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who goes head to toe. The future Queen of England does it too.






Let's not forget her dark blue eyeshadow and stud earrings.






She did wear a smile; always a plus. A watch and of course Diana's blue ring. Simple yet classy.

And so tiny after three months. Though she is super thin and didn't show 'til almost the last two months of her pregnancy. She would have ruled the fashion runway like she will in the future had she not married a prince.

Mummy Dogs

 
To make these yummy mummy dogs, you will need; package refrigerated breadsticks, capers, and frankfurters.
Unwrap the breadsticks and wrap them around the franks. Place the capers at the top for eyes. Put them in the oven 'til done.
 
Me, I would spray them with spray butter.
 
Serve them with whatever sauce you like.
 
 
 
 

Dotty Halloween Cupcake

   
To make these polka dot cupcakes you will need; cake mix, icing, and M&M's.

Bake your cake to the directions on the box. Me, I would use chocolate cake mix for this one. Let them cool.

If you can't find orange icing, then use food coloring to get the orange color. Ice half with orange and the other with chocolate icing.

Take you M&M's and place the orange one's on the chocolate cupcake and the black one's on the orange cupcakes.




Now this isn't mine: http://www.bhg.com/halloween/recipes/17-frightfully-good-halloween-cupcakes/#page=14

Easy Pumpkin Cupcakes

 
To make these yummy pumpkin cupcakes, you will need, cake mix, icing, skewer, orange sprinkles, and pretzel's.

Sprinkle the orange sprinkles on top of your cupcake.

Break your pretzel in half too big.

Take a skewer (or a knife) and draw the veins on the pumpkin's as shown in the picture.

Britney Misses Her 'Baby One More Time' Days

The 31 year old pop princess shows off her body in video's and on stage says she wants to more dance routines. She tells 'The TJ Show' that a lot of sex goes into what she does. She would like to bring back where there was one outfit through the whole video and you're dancing the entire time. (Stronger totally fits what she's talking about. Though its from the second album.)
Now that she's a mother to two adorable sons; Sean and Jayden she's thinking about the impression that she's sending to young kids. Now only if Miley started thinking about the impression she's sending to her young fans.

Prince Charles Remembers the Day 'My Mama' Was Crowned Queen

Prince Charles was only 4½ when his mother was crowned Queen of England on June 2, 1953, but he can still picture that day.

"I remember my Mama coming, you know, up, when we were being bathed as children, wearing the crown," Charles, 63, referring to himself and sister Anne, 61, says on the BBC's A Jubilee Tribute to the Queen by the Prince of Wales, to air Friday in the U.K. "It was quite funny – practicing."

Putting his 86-year-old mother's 60 years on the throne into perspective – in three years Elizabeth will become the longest-reigning monarch in British history (and her own mother, Elizabeth, the Queen Mum, lived to a happy 101) – Charles says, "The Diamond Jubilee gives us the chance to celebrate with pride all that the Queen means to us – whether as a nation or as one of her children."

Observing his mother on her Coronation Day, Charles remarks on her "amazing poise" and "natural grace."

In the interview he also shares some rare family photos, such as (seen here, above) his mother visiting him on a school sports day in 1957, when he was about 8, and another shot (below) of himself with sister Anne as both are buried in the sand at Holkham Beach in Norfolk.

With the two children in the beach shot is one of their mother's beloved, "irresistible" corgis.

"My Mama takes great pride in her family, from being a young mother at the start of her reign, to now being a great grandmother twice over," says the prince, speaking as a son.

But also speaking as a loyal subject, he says, "The fact that my Mama has been a constant feature on the scene has provided that sense, I think, of continuity in a time of immense change over 60 years."

Love live the Queen!
