Because Madness and Dooce are like *this*

Seriously though ... Dooce is so totally consumed with MadEnvy!

Earlier today Madness told ya'll about watching Grease and having a kick ass theme song to accompany her through the day. Madness was at work when she posted that and was sneaking around on the internet so's that she could share that with you .. at the risk of being Dooced, internet! Madness hopes youre appreciative of her sacrifice!

Anyway .. last night was the first time Madness watched Grease in sixteen years and she came to a realization ... and DAMNED if Dooce didnt have that same.ding.dang. realization herself! Today! No joke. Only one small difference .. Dooce is talkin'bout Grease II with Michelle Pfeifer and Madness is talkin'bout Grease with OliviaNewtonWhatsHerName.. John Travolta. Click here to see what Dooce had to say bout'that.

Speakin of Dooce and my post from earlier today ... remember that other bit of random madness that was forgotten just that fast ?

Here it is .. (what a coincidence .. this here is also compliments of Dooce) Yes, you gotta click that link too so's you can read the caption for this particular dose of The Daily Chuck .. you can thank me later.

Madness hearts this particular dose of The Daily Chuck because she would oh.so.totally. rock that hair if she could pull it off ... oh.hell.yes.she.would.

Grease is the word ...

Madness is a lucky girl today because last night was Movie Night with the kiddies. We watched Strange Brew .. "Take off Hoser!!" ha!

But more importantly .. we watched Grease ! Oh Yeah.

And so Madness is a lucky girl today because Madness has the Grease theme song IMBEDDED in her brain. Imagine living your life with the theme song to Grease as your background music. Oh Yeah.

Guess what .. there was one more random thing that Madness was going to share with you, constant reader .. but she forgot .. that fast. Wooosh!

Eh. Check back I guess.

Im just saying

Seriously though..

Madness isnt a total bitch (or psycho, or lunatic or whatever else ya'll are calling me ... yeah I know em all) ... and neither are you.

Vicki may [details omitted because Madness isnt trying to put it ALL out there ... *yet* .. ] .. but Vicki also bakes kick ass cakes for her kids birthdays .. and shes a nurse. MmmHmm. RN baby. Registered Nurse. So Vicki is no numb brain either. Vicki is a beautiful woman, mother of wonderful children.. shes lived through unimaginable despair ... pain the likes of which you and I have never known... and she continues to live and raise her family and face each day. Bear, I have great respect for you. I truely do. Love, Madness.

Laura may [details omittied because Madness isnt tyring to put it ALL out there ... *yet* .. ] .. but Laura is also the mother of a beautiful daughter. I know nothing more of M that what Ive seen in the pictures that I had no business looking at .. but what I know of Lauras daughter is that she is a happy, healthy, kind, smart, loved and cared for young lady who is becoming a young woman and discovering her way in life. I respect thtatLaura is a hard working single mother who has her head on straight and tight. I envy the bond between Laura and Jacki .. or at least the bond I imagine they have. Everyone needs to have their girls at their side.

Sam. Youre just a kid. Lord knows there isnt a day that passes that I dont want to smack that cheshire grin straight off your face ... but at the same time there isnt a day that passes that Im not aware that ... youre just a kid. If you really are pregnant .. I wish you all the best. This is a time in your life that you should cherish for eternity and beyond. I honestly hope that youve got your life in order by the time your child arrives. This is it Sam. I truely wish you all the best in life. (I was bein all nutso whacko cause I just wanted you to stay out of mine).

Riss. Oy Vey. Riss. Am I going here? yeah.. I am .. on account of youre still here. Again I have MadRespect for you. Wife and mother of four kick ass kids. MadRespect for putting your mind to it and going back to school, sister... hells yeah.. I did that myself... it was an awesome experience that I wasnt quite ready for at the time .. but I got a lot out of it and hope to finish one day. So yeah.. I respect you for all that.

Im just sayin.

Time

One of Madness fav things to do is visit Time.com and click through the photos of the week ... since Madness knows not everyone does this.. she thought she'd share some of her favs with you ...

You can thank me later.This photo was taken earlier this year and tugs so very strongly at Madness' heart .. you see.. Madness stood in this very spot as a child .. time and again .. looking to the heavens in awe. This is a photo of the space shuttle Endeavor lifting off during the night. You cant fully appriciate the fantastic wonder thru a mere photo, but trust Madness .. this is an awesome event.

Because Madness was once a young girl .. and perhaps, reader, so were you ... and because Madness has three young girls ... this photo makes Madness squeal and sigh .. because times they are a changin. (this is a photo of a 4 year old girl playing in confetti after a rally for Presidential Hopeful HILLARY CLINTON .. who was also once a young girl).

... because Madness *also* has the audacity of hope. Michelle, Barack..if youre listening ... Madness is placing her hope square on your shoulders... thanks for carrying that for me, for mine, for us.

These are John Lennons tinted prescription glasses being held infront of his handwritten lyrics to "Give Peace a Chance". Stunning.

Photos of Fourth of July fun coming soon ...

MadStoryTime

Coming soon..

MadStoryTime ~ Whose My Baby Daddy?

Stay Tuned .. you WONT want to miss this.

.. thats why my .... wants to ...

Madness needs to make certain this point is very clear

there is one reason why its been considered .. ONE REASON ONLY.

*and*

there is one reason why it hasnt happened .. ONE REASON ONLY.

Think.

WahWahWah

Quit'cha cryin ManBitchandtheSkrank .. its not your fault youre laughable.
Why again are you stalkin my page .. as if Im ever gonna have anything nice to say.
Thought you knew.

Madness Breakin It Down

Since youre all on ma'shit today .. chew on this.

It was brought to Madness attention this evening that the following points require clarification:

Madness never said your TubeTops were what made you look like a Man, Lady.

Madness said you look like a Man AND your TubeTops are ridiculous.

MaxX said your TubeTop doesnt make you look like a Man.

MaxX never said he didnt think you look like a Man, in general.

If you knew a ding dang thang about MaxX then you'd see his irresistible wink and grin when he says such things .. but you dont so you wont .. see it, see.. ManBitch... (yes, you've evolved from ManLady to ManBitch .. ManBitch rolls off the tounge much more smoothly and it makes MaxX chuckle)

(Only moments after Madness mentioned MaxXs irresistible winky and grin .. moments I tell you .. MaxX tapped Madness on her shoulder and she saw the sticker that HE picked from the sticker sheet BabyD gave Momma and Daddy to chose from ...
the blue winky grinning face.)

**Madness' sticker says Ay-dub-ya-ee-ess-oh-em-ee. Awesome.**

Madness knows you'll appriciate this little work, MB... yeah.. I know you kinda likey me. Ha!

Ok.. so Madness has a full time job, and by full time job she means
45 hours a week there.
168 hours a week here, Momma, (times Five in.case.you.didnt.know.)
168 hours a week there, Wife.
168 hours a week working out the logistics of a very delicate move from here to there (want me to break that one down .. ask me .. I will.)
168 hours a week keeping this from ending up there.
168 hours a week dealing with him her her and them.

And what was Madness saying? Oh .. yeah... Madness has a full time job to get back to. Peace.

SundaySecret ~ and a little something extra

Madness followed the link on PostSecret this week to another cool blogspot .. click here to check it out and read the story behind this photo .. you can thank me later. Click here to visit ifoundyourcamera Success Story page.

And heres this weeks MadSecret :

Which one is your fav?

~ Daddy'oh Day ~

This is a story in pictures for your viewing pleasure ...

How Daddy'o Learned Rotham to FearNothing and hop down the deck stairs.

It's also the story of BritBritOnasis sayin "Nuh-uh-No-way am I goin down those steps. Forget It" and she meant it.

At one point Brit was pacing the top of the stairs whining and whimpering .. then she looked over the edge of the deck and jumped off.. like that makes any sense.

Eh. Enjoy.Brit on the deck, hiding under ThreeDollahChair... Daddy'o put a piece of bratwurst in front of her to lure her to the stairs.

Gobble. Im still not going down those steps.

Rotham learned to sit just about that fast too. Hims a good boy.

By Populer Demand ... yes HUH!

Some of you creepy stalkers readers have been blowin Madness email and MySpace up asking to see the freakin rae of sunshine that is Madness these days.

So here you have it stalkers readers. The new header is a quick snap I took with my beloved Cannon FancyPants KodakEasyShare C813. The only thing I did to the photo was add the coloring book effect. No colors have been photoshop'd because Madness doesnt know squat tart about photoshop.. so yeah, that really is the color of my eyes and yes my hair is orange and yellow no my hair isnt orange and yellow .. its fire.

And this is a quick shot that shows what it really looks like and yeah .. I kinda like it.

F I R E

Madness makes no damn sense. (we all knew this, right?)

Madness decided she needed to lighten up her chocolate brown hair in order for it to take the burgundy dye. Madness tried the peroxide stripping agent, to no avail. So Madness got her some blonde blonde blonde dye and ... uh.. yeah..[ insert shit on yourself laughter here ]

Ha! Never fear dear reader .. Madness is no dummy ... chocolate brown + blonde blonde blonde + peroxide stripping agent = HAWT.

Yeah ... Madness' hair is F I R E. Think of an orange flame .. thats it.

Pics to come.

Hot. MmmHmm ... just ask MaxX.

Packin it up and Movin it down ... all the way down

Madness is packin it up and movin it down ... for reals.

Been talking for months about movin the MadLands back home to Florida.. it starts now.

Madness has a lead on a sweet condo ... and a few houses. Madness has been scurred shatless about moving 1100 miles away. ELEVEN HUNDRED MILES. But then Madness figured .. there is here and here is there and then that there is there and here so... fuck it .. we're UP.

Hellooooo Stalkers

Yes..Madness knows youre here.. so she thought she'd say "Hi!"
Dont be shy ... say something .. dare ya.
Why oh Why is madness so ornery tooo-day?

BingePurge

Madness hauled kids from here to there and there then there and back again today..
blah blah blah...
Madness found her Norah Jones CD ... and guess what ya'll .. playing Norah Jones in the MommaMobile *calmed the beasts* settled the children .. to a degree... and Madness too .. uh, yeah.
So Madness has binged and now purged and rearranged the music in her life.. because the music does not lie and right now Madness needs some truth that isnt going to send her straight.off.that.there.bridge.
