LOOK WHO MADE THE FINALS!

Monday vote for me on the TMZ web site at TMZ.com.

EDIT: Damn! I didn't make the final five. Guess my hair wasn't heinous enough.

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.

"Shopping sprees linked to periods"

I found this article on PerezHilton.com. It explains why women have an uncontrollable urge to shop. See, it's not there fault at all. IMHO, it's Eve's fault. This is just another reason God is punishing women, because Eve picked that apple.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Women may be able to blame impulse buys and extravagant shopping on their time of the month, research suggests.

In the 10 days before their periods began women were more likely to go on a spending spree, a study found.

Psychologists believe shopping could be a way for premenstrual women to deal with the negative emotions created by their hormonal changes.

Professor Karen Pine will present her work to a British Psychological Society meeting in Brighton later this week.

She asked 443 women aged 18 to 50 about their spending habits.

Almost two-thirds of the 153 women studied who were in the later stages of their menstrual cycle - known as the luteal phase - admitted they had bought something on an impulse and more than half said they had overspent by more than £25.

A handful of the women said they had overspent by more than £250.

And many felt remorse later.

Professor Pine, of the University of Hertfordshire, said: "Spending was less controlled, more impulsive and more excessive for women in the luteal phase.

"The spending behaviour tends to be a reaction to intense emotions. They are feeling stressed or depressed and are more likely to go shopping to cheer themselves up and using it to regulate their emotions."

Hormonal

She said much of this could be explained by hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. And the findings were exaggerated in the women with severe PMT.

"We are getting surges and fluctuations in hormones which affect the part of the brain linked to emotions and inhibitory control. So the behaviour we found is not surprising."

Another explanation might be that women are buying items to make themselves feel more attractive - coinciding with the time of ovulation when they are most fertile, typically around 14 days before the start of a period.

Most of the purchases made by the women were for adornment, including jewellery, make-up and high heels.

Professor Pine said: "Other researchers have found there is an ornamental effect around the time of ovulation."

Researchers have found women tend to dress to impress during their fertile days.

Professor Pine, author of the book Sheconomics, said if women were worried about their spending behaviour they might avoid going shopping in the week before their period was due.
