Michael Jackson did not father his two oldest children, says his former wife Debbie Rowe.

"Just like I stick the sperm up my horse, this is what they did to me. I was his thoroughbred."

Rowe, mother of Prince, 12, and Paris, 11 - said she was artificially inseminated by an anonymous donor. despite Jackson's death, she does not want custody of the children and never expects to see them again.

Rowe said:

"Michael was divorced, lonely and wanted children. I was the one who said to him: 'I will have your babies'. I offered him my womb - it was a gift. It was something I did to keep him happy … I was just the vessel. It wasn't Michael's sperm. I got paid for it, and I've moved on. I know I will never see my children again.”

Wow - more drama...are you really surprised?

It's been almost a week now and I must say, the progress is impressive! Everything has been studded out and drywall is already in place!







Here is where the dryer used to be - we're going to mount the extra LCD TV we have on this wall.



The time table is about 5 days. Carpet is scheduled to be laid this Friday!

I REALLY wanted to take a mini vacation this summer - I've been wanting to go to the beach ever since I found awesome deals on Outer Banks rentals. However, it was not meant to be this summer. Instead, we've decided to turn our basement into a family area. Well, it'll mainly be for the kids. As I am saddled with more and more responsibility pertaining to my job, it's become increasingly difficult to be productive when there are 3 kids running around, playing, watching movies, etc...

Here's our basement before starting:



Now, you must know, this was CJ's guitar building 'shop' so there was wood, saw dust, all kinds of tools, and other random things down there and I had to go down there to do laundry!

Old sink we're getting rid of:

We even had our old washer and dryer in there - we had no idea how to get rid of those things. While we were in the process of cleaning the basement out, we got the number of a guy that comes and takes appliances, he gets money for them. When this guy showed up he immediately recognized me from back in the day when I was a lifeguard at the local pool. Yea, this guy and I had a back and forth flirt thing going on for years - it was weird to see him and it made me all giddy, LOL

Anyway, 'Louie' and Dave and CJ moved the rest of the stuff out of the basement, Dean just stood there and tried to look important:

Here's some of the stuff we needed hauled out, there was a lot more:



Finally, an area cleared out:



This area will be closed off as the utility room and will also be where the washer and dryer will relocated to.

CJ and Dave pondering their next move:

We're hoping this project only takes about 2 weeks. So far it's been a week and the framing has been done and the drywall is up! More pictures to come!

Zyon bought this 2006 Mustang this month and I must admit I LOVE THIS CAR! I am trying not to like it but I can't help it, it's such a sweet ride.

He's planing on doing some work to it to give it more horsepower, etc..and of course, this is going to cost money so he's actually got 2 guitars up for sale! *passes out* - this is serious business!

He also started a blog about the journey, so if you're interested in checking out the progress, subscribe to Me and My Mustang

We have shifted gears on our house remodel. We were planning on starting at the top (attic - make it into a bedroom) and work our way down. However, we've decided to start with the basement.

Our basement is HUGE and has so much potential. In this big house, we, a family of 5, ave only one bathroom (EEEK) - in the basement there is a shower stall and a toilet so I guess maybe that counts ads a half? Regardless, it's just not nice down there. Since Zyon is no longer building guitars, we've decided we need to make use of the basement.

Not to mention that now that I am working full time from home, my kiddos need a place where they can play and have fun without stressing me out. I don't have an office - my desk is in the far corner of our living room and most of the time the kids are in the living room playing or watching tv. Not a great idea when I need to call a client or have to be on a conference call!

We're going to make the basement really nice. We'll mount a tv on the wall, get a nice little sound system going and probably buy a stereo cabinet as well. We figure this will work out well, especially as the kids get older and want to have friends over!

Kaenon has some really nice designer sunglasses. I would LOVE a pair of their womens sunglasses but before I buy them I am going to take my chances on the special Father's Day Promotion they are running.

Basically, Kaenon is taking a gamble - if either of their guys win the US Open on Father’s Day – any sunglass orders bought using the special promo code will be free!

I recently posted on my Caffeine Mom blog about how Zyon and I are not a good combo together in the evenings because we like to snack all the time.

He has recently started a night shift and it's killing me - I thought with him not here in the evenings I wouldn't snack as much. Boy was I wrong! I now realize that it's because I am bored! Now that I am home alone at night I still want to snack.

I just looked up the top rated diet pills because damn, I think I may need one! Seriously, I'm going to need something to curb my appetite.

My hairdresser (and friend) comes to my house to do my hair. I know, how lucky am I? Last time she put color on my hair, she showed Dante how to blow up a glove - one of those disposable gloves she wears when she puts color on my hair.

She must've given him a bunch and I never knew it because I found a stash in his room! Oh my gawd, I about died from laughter, he was hiding them. LOL

Well, Zyon will be working a night shift until at least the end of August. While the hours, (8:45 pm - 5:15 am) really suck, this is a good opportunity for him as he will be in a role that is 'one up' from his current position.

Right now he's sleeping. He was up at 8 am today, that's normal for him. I told him he better get some sleep before going in tonight or he is sure to completely crash at work. So, the plan is for him to get up about 5 pm or so and we'll get dinner started. That's one god thing, we'll be able to have meals together!

Of course I'll need to get used to sleeping alone at night. I bet I'll wind up staying awake later - blogging, working, etc. I can't stay up too late though, *I* am still on a day shift!

We got a new (used) car - a 2006 fully loaded Mustang - only 25,000 miles on it! It was previously a corporate leased car and was really taken care of.

Of course I would have preferred Zyon to get more of a practical car - BUT - this is his car. He'll use it to go back and forth to work and I'll use it on occasion.

Since I usually travel with the kids, my main vehicle now will be our 2008 Honda Pilot, which I ♥

I have been having weird dreams involving ellipticals - seriously, and I think it's my neighbor's fault!! I didn't get on the treadmill today like I planned. I feel like crap - there has got to be an alternative to exercise, right?

Hmmm, maybe not eating? Oh wait, then I'd die - but I'd be skinny! I'm just rambling. I hate feeling guilty like this. I am such a procrastinator.
