is there a winner?

Last week, I decided to do a little quiz for you, so that I could give the winner a prize.
Cause I like giving away prizes.
Just like you like winning them.
First chance at the quiz, no one won.
What to do, I thought.
think, think, think.
Give them another chance came to mind with some clues.
Yeah, that's got to work, I thought.
Clues. I'll give them clues.
So, I posted this.
And still

Albert Einstein we are not?
Or so I suppose.

Don't worry...I'll make it up to you! I promise too!

Now what. Do I just award you all anyway for trying; all the ones that took a stab at trying to guess what I did. E

Even my own twin didn't get them right.

She even missed one of the ones I just KNEW he would get right.

But, what do I know? (don't answer that!)

I haven't decided yet what I will do...about giving a prize or not...for the ones at least that tried to get them right.

Okay, so are you ready for the answers now?

I guess it's only fair to let you know what I'm really like even though I may loose all 25 of my followers. (Which I am so excited to have, by the way!)

In my hand I hold the envelope with the answers to the quiz!

Heather and Susan were the first two to guess that I did NOT take a shower last Saturday. Yes, that's right I sat around with my stinky self all day LONG!

I did not sit outside, cook three meals, or paint my fingernails. I haven't sat outside in such a long time, my skin is pearly white. Cook 3 meals in one day! You JEST! If I am in the kitchen ONE meal a day, you need to be on your knees thanking the dear Lord for that meal! And paint my fingernails? Ever let a 4 year old paint your fingernails? Yeah, well that's what mine would look like if I were to paint mine!

So, numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4 I did NOT do.

Number 5, I DID DO! Let's recap this. PMS and messing with my happy pills DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT MIX. Let's just say, I called the prescription in at 2:30 and was promised them at 4:30. At 4:30 my twin gets the idea to call JUST TO MAKE SURE they are ready before she drives there to get them. Ring, ring, Hello, got my pills ready? How many were there? 4 bottles. I only have 2! SAY WHAT?? And the ONE bottle of HAPPY PILLS was one of the bottles that WAS NOT READY! What you talkin' about Willis? So, at 5:30 and they closed at 6, my twin was finally able to go and get my 4 bottles of pills for me! THANK GOODNESS! It was about to get ugly up in here!

Number 6. Not much of a TV watcher. So NO to that one.

Numbers 7, 8 and 9 I did. My twin's post that day had me cracking up!

Number 10 I did NOT do...but I was about to get ready to flow the tears if my medicine wasn't going to be ready!

Numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19...I DID THEM ALL! YES, that's right, you read it right, I ate 2 cheeseburgers and 1/2 of a whopper on Saturday for lunch. Something I am NOT proud of, but I had PMS. REMEMBER? So I was HUNGRY! The ONE meal I did help cook was breakfast and I did help clean up that mess! By the way, we had pizza for dinner. Did I mention I was PMSING? Ok, just making sure.

Numbers 20, 21, 22, I did not do. Remember, I didn't take a shower...so no legs shaved and no going to CVS. The cashew chicken we were going to have but, neither my twin or I wanted to cook cause we had both been blogging all day long.

Number 23 we did do. That was one of the times we were laughing so hard cause we had to keep going through everything. Guess where the key was? In the ignition of the car sitting in her driveway! Her DH had come in at some point and taken the key and DID NOT tell her that he did! FINALLY after 20 minutes of looking she went and asked him-he was in the yard working, if he knew where the key was! He said, did you check the ignition? Hmm, she said, NO! Well, he said, I told you when I came and got it! WOW, she thought we both must have been doing some HEAVY blogging not to hear that conversation!

Number 24, yes. I talk to him EVERYDAY on the phone several times a day.

Number 25. Nope again...remember we didn't have it for dinner! BUT, we did have it for lunch the next day. And I made it all by myself! :-)

Number 26, YES. I WILL brush my teeth now! I may not smell good, but I will brush my teeth!

Numbers 27 and 28. NOPE!

Numbers 29 and 30. YES

So, how'd you do? How many did you get right?

How many followers do I have left now?

ANYONE? Are you still THERE?

Ellen's Oscar® monologue

I am not sure if this will work or not, but click on the picture above for a good laugh!

A night at the Oscars

Need a little laugh after yesterday economic news?
Here's two videos sure to start your day with a smile.

First one is Jack Black and Will Ferrell "Get Off the Stage" Oscar® song

This one is Jack Black, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly sing at the Oscars

WARNING: This video uses the a** word. So if you do not want to hear that word, do not listen to this song. I do not personally use that word but I know there are some that may be offended to hear it in a song. You've been warned!

In case you are asking yourself, Self, why did Diva use all these Oscars headers?

That's a good question to ask, Self. I'll tell you.

• I am tired because it's after midnight here on the East Coast.
• I found these videos why doing a search for funny award moments.
• The embedded address was blocked.
• So, I had to have a picture in order to attach the URL address.
• Hmm, I asked my Self, what kind of picture am I going to use?
• Normally I would search for a funny picture online somewhere or go through my saved files to find one.
• Refer to #1 as to why I did not do that.
• So, I said to myself, what's my next option? think, think, think
• Search for a picture on Google of them doing the song.
• First thing that came up on the search results was the video.
• Hmm, refer to #1 again.
• What to do, what to do?
• Why not use the Oscars picture on that page and attach the URL address to that.
• Cause, well, refer to #1.
• Sorry if that bothers you.

Hey, I can't be perfect all the time!

Like my daddy always said, You can please some of the people SOME of the time, but you can't please ALL of the people ALL of the time!

Did I mention I was tired?

Ok, good. You get the picture then!

I saw this here, and had to do it. What does your name mean?
For those of you that know me. I know what you are saying. Yep, Yep, that's her. So be NICE in your comments! m'kay?

What Carolyn Means

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

for you, my blogging buddy readers...

It is with great pleasure to present to you the button for last week's commenter's.

See this award? Isn't it pretty?

I think so too.

My bff, that's what I have called her from the beginning, Jo-Lynne, made this and most of the other buttons on my page and did the design of my page as well. She's got talent! Not me. Sorry to burst the bubble of my new readers. I did NOT make these! Her name is on everything I give away that she makes for me.

Okay, sorry, I got carried away.

This button is for those that read my blog page this week and left me a comment. Yes, that's you! If you did not leave me a comment, I'm so sorry. I tried to get you to come out of the closet. Yes, I did!

I am going to list each one of you who commented. If I do not have your email address, I will need it, so I can send the button to you, cause if you haven't noticed I have a page protector on my blog page now; which means that even I can not lift anything off my page! Ha, how do you like that? I don't! It's frustrating, to say the least.

Okay, so here's the list of my dear blogging buddies:

If I missed your name, please don't hesitate to send me a message and let me know! ***I found out someone got left off the list...so PLEASE tell me! I thought some people got deleted when I was adding them as I was putting the LAST name on the list and I didn't feel like going back through all the posts to find out who it was! Her name has been added now-cause she let me know! Don't be afraid!

Don't forget, I need your email address! Click on Contact Diva on the sidebar and send me an email with your address! No blogger left behind! :-)

Voting time...voting time!

Ok, first of all let me say a couple of things...
THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE WONDERFUL FUNNY CREATIVE COMMENTS! I enjoyed reading them all!
Second, you will see two blocks of comments to chose from.
Please ONLY vote ONCE.
That means, ONE VOTE. Chose ONE comment!
The generator only lets me pick 10 per box, so I had to make two so I wouldn't leave anyone out!
So, please behave and play nicely!
Thanks!

Online Surveys & Market Research

Online Surveys & Market Research

run for your lives!

really..143 days?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
You couldn't get a job at McDonald's and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
You couldn't get a job as a teacher and become the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.
You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.

BUT....

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.

That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days?

We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is.... a start.

AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public seems to feel comfortable with this and are campaigning for him.

We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with this for the President of the United States of America?

Come on folks, we're not voting for the next American Idol!

he said...SHE said

He said to me. ... What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you?
I said to him . .....Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

He said to me. . How many men does it take to change a roll of toilet paper?
I said to him .. . We don't know; it has never happened.

He said to me . .. . Why are married women heavier than single women?
I said to him . . . Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed. Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.
