An Adam Sandler and crew day!

On the days when the depression hits and it feels like nothing can make me smile. I get out my Adam Sandler Movies. Why, because he and his buddies crack me up. Some do not like his kind of humor, and that’s cool, but I love it. I love anything that makes me laugh. I love off kilter humor, raunchy humor, stupid humor, really any humor. For me laughter is the best medicine!

I also have a couple of his dramatic roles which I think are amazing. Reign Over Me was wonderful. Now, Punch Drunk Love is not a fav, but it still was well acted and a bit off kilter which I like. I have many of his movies. It is hard to find a favorite. I also love Grandma’s Boy. He did not act in it, but worked on it. His friends are all in it. I think that is also why I love his movies. All his buddies are in them as well. It’s like a family affair!

Today I watched Mr. Deed’s, Happy Gilmore, and am about to watch 50 First Dates. I always joke to my hubby I could be the total goober in the wheelchair in an Adam Sandler Movies!! rofl Honestly, just to meet him and all his friends would be a cool thing. They really do seem like cool people. Hey, maybe they are pricks in person, but I doubt it. And really, I am hardly ever wrong! 😛

What’s funny is each movie does have a moral, a good story behind it. They are about family and being there for your friends no matter how stupid you have to be! lol I guess it’s all in how you want to look at it, your perspective! They are just funny! From The Wedding Singer to Bedtime Stories, they are just fun movies! And who can forget The Waterboy! OMG, that one kills me!

Even my hubby likes his movies. For my hubz to actually sit and watch a whole movie it has to be good. Grandma’s Boy [Adam Sandler is Executive Producer] is hubby’s fav. Although last night we watched Little Nicky, and hubby was dying. I had to keep shushing him as he was laughing to friggen loud. Between Rog and Austin I could not hear a thing. Not that it mattered as i know the movie by heart! lol

After watching Mr’ Deeds my favorite line became, “I’m sorry, All I heard was blah blah blah, I’m a dirty tramp!” And sadly for those around me, they hear it all the time! lol

So there you have it, I’m an Adam Sandler and crew junkie! rofl

In all seriousness, with my disease it is hard to find things that really make burst out laughing. His movies are one of those things. So keep on making them Adam and friends, and I’ll keep on watching them…over and over again!! 🙂

Blessings and Peace!

[August 19] I do most most of my shopping online. I needed to return some things, so Courtney and I went to the mall here in town.

We parked in handicapped so I had the blue line box on my cars right side for my ramp for my wheelchair to exit/enter the van. The reason the blue lined box is there. Hello!!

We go in, return the items, did a lil shopping and then we went and had lunch at Red Robin. Can you say yum!!??

We left the mall around 2 or so and it was around 100 degrees or so. [ewwww] We get to the van and the person parked next to us was parked along the blue lined box area diagonally, the the rest in the parking spot. It was one of those “I am a small man” kind of trucks. If you get my meaning. tongue out I’m 6′ tall and would have needed a crane to get in this particular truck as it was so high off the ground.

We tried to lower my ramp and it would not give me any room to get my chair up my ramp as this truck took up MY blue lined spot area. By now I am very hot, my energy draining and highly pissed off. So Courtney got in the van to move it over into the [luckily] vacant spot on the other side so I could get in.

As she did this, I wrote a lil note for the truck: “The next time you use disabled parking, park correctly. The blue area is for those truly disabled that need a ramp to exit and enter their vehicle. Remember this for future reference… ASS!!!!!!”

Now, maybe I did not need to use the last word, but it was better than keying or spitting on the truck.

I have now made up lil business like cards with this saying. Am I being rude, probably. Am I being childish, oh I hope so. But most people do not know just how hard it is to go anywhere, just getting ready, showering, dressing, takes it all out of me.

All I ask is a lil COMMON courtesy for the disabled.

First: if you really do not need to use a placard, don’t.
Second: do not borrow placards. RUDE!!! And most likely you need the exercise! HA!
Third: if you do use them and need to, be respectful and do not use the lined areas, they ARE there for a reason!
Fourth: Do not bring the disabled person, park in handicapped and then leave them in the car! What are ya stoopid!

I got my placard when first diagnosed with MS. I had it for quite some time before I ever used it. Why? At the time I was still able to walk and would never want to take up a spot for someone truly in need of one. So, use common sense and be a bit more respectful of others…then you will never find one of my lil cards on your vehicle!!

Blessings and Peace!!

Yesterday…

It was a weird day. lol Drama in a group I am in. So hate when people cannot admit they did something wrong and then turn it into ‘poor me’! There are certain tems and words that NO ONE should say or write. How hard is it to know this. Sadly I called the person on this offensive word and she just did not get it! I feel sad for her really. Oh well, maybe one day she will get it! Not my problem. She left and all is calm and friendly again!

My kids each had a friend over for the day. Six teenagers in the house!! I thought I would lose my mind, but it was a very nice evening. We got them all pizza, they jumped on the trampoline and played wii games. No fights…they are growing up!!

We have one friend still here and we keep hearing giggles and scream coming from the front room. I love the sounds! They are playing wii racing and having a blast!

I love when the days can just be lazy days and we can all hang out.

Hope everyone has had a nice weekend!!
