I could care less what celebrities think but this is a good message!

HORENDOUS day!

*Let's just start with the fact that I woke up totally exhausted
*My feet seem to be getting worse again
*Ethan had a HORRIBLE day at school! Throwing tantrums AND chairs!
*I got a flat tire that couldn't be fixed
*When I jacked up my car to change the tire the jack BROKE IN HALF!
*A crazy man tried to help/rape me.
*My side gate was open when I got home. I can't tell if anything is missing.

Will someone PLEASE comment of the clowns of the Red Carpet!!!

One of my favorite blogs to read is Go Fug Yourself . The fug girls crack me up! I'm sad on the weekends when the fug girls take time off from posting. So today I'm reading along laughing and I see this post(this link isn't working anymore so click on the above link to the fug blog and scroll down to the yellow dress...you can't miss it!). They're going on and on about the yellow dress...is it great...is it not....is Terri Hatcher's better...whatever but not ONE mention of the TWO giant neon colored elephants standing behind Mariska Hargitay!! The dude looks like a less frightening version of Marilyn Manson and the girl looks like a very PINK Pippy Longstocking dressed as a Harajuku Girl! Keep in mind these were NOT Halloween costumes! This was a photo on the Red Carpet at the Emmy's! And just who ARE these people?? They are on the star-studed side of the velvet rope, so they must have been invited! I really don't think Mariska or Terri's dresses was either Fab or Fug...both were alright. But will SOMEONE please comment on the clowns of the Red Carpet!!!!

OMG I JUST noticed the Harajuku Girl's SHOES!!!! Oh I want a pair!!!!!!!!


*update-so I've learned the identities of these two people. They are Kynt and Vyxsin from the Greatest Race and they are soooo growing on me!

This video is amazing and I am so impressed with these two! Once you get past the clothes they seem to be amazing people. And once you realize they're amazing people you want to embrace the look! LOL

I never watch the Greatest Race but I wish I had now!!! I have looked at everything YouTube has on these two! I love them! I know my initial reaction was one of shock but that shock has turned to awe! I so want Vixsin's hair...although I'd go with red cuz I'm more of a red girl. And I would LOVE to just LOOK at her closet! She's seems to be an accessory girl like me and I bet I'd have FUN!!!! I would love to buy these two a drink some night! I bet they'd even sing some karaoke with me (well that is if I by some miracle was able to meet them). I'm headed to hot topic next week to check out their clothing line! And I have a sudden urge to go back to Transylvania. Haven't been there since one Friday the 13th last year! I was also very glad to see they had a MySpace. Bottom line if these two ever came to Phoenix they'd so have someone to party with!

*update-Okay now I'm convinced that Kynt totally rocks! On his MySpace there is a photo of him and Vyxsin on the Rosie O'Donnel cruise (I <3 Rosie!) wearing a ZEBRA STRIPED SWEATER!!!!!!!!! You all know I'm all about the Zebra stripe (and actually giraffe print rocks too....just no cheata print please! So over done....but I digress)

It's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am...

"I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am, I am... what I think you think I am."

This weekend is going GREAT!

I found my RV gate open, probably pushed by the wind, and I can't close it. And now my fridge seems to be broken. GRRRRRR!!! I'm tired of taking care of this house on my own. I want to move and rent!!

Saturday 9:Labor Day edition

1. What are you doing special this weekend for Labor Day?
Well I'm basking in the fact that my kids are out of town and I can SLEEP!!! I will actually end up working too, but that's okay! LOL

2. What was your best vacation this past summer?
What the hell if vacation?? LOL

3. Did you do anything special for the 4th of July?
Went out with some friends and did karaoke. Didn't end up even seeing fireworks! LOL

4. What did you do special for Memorial Day?
Okay you're asking me to remember something that happened in MAY!

5. How was the weather? Tell us where you live and how the weather was as compared to summers past.
I live 2 inches above hell in hot Phoenix. I have no idea if it's been hotter or cooler this year. Once it reaches 100 degrees I think heat is all relative. Recently it's been way too humid. I can handle a million degrees of dry heat but as soon as you add humidity I am sick. Literally sick to my stomach! My grandmother calls it "Summers Complaint".

6. Did you discover a new favorite summer drink?
Water, water, and more water.

7. Did you enjoy this summer’s Olympics?
They were awesome!

8. I am from New England (Rhode Island). Lobster rules supreme in the summer. Is lobster part of your summer ritual?
Nope. I'm not opposed to Lobster. I think it's very tasty, but I have no intention of cooking a lobster and Seafood restaurants aren't in my budget right now.

9. What was the best single day of your summer?
That would have to be yesterday and today. No kids allowed me to sleep in VERY late! LOL

How does google know???

I love google but I'm getting a creepy big brother vibe from them. I have been dealing with my dog being infested with tics thanks to a stray getting in our yard. I have not posted this info ANYWHERE on the internet because, really, who needs to know my dog has tics, right? So today I'm looking at my blog and what is google adsense avertising?? Tic dipping products!!! I am totally freaked out now! LOL

Quick Update!

Poor Lil g had to have FIVE shots today! Apparently I'm a horrible mother and haven't gotten her shots since she was 6 months old! She's passed out now. Poor thing! But she's all ready for preschool now! Open house is Friday!!

Don't tell me you're gonna do something if you don't intend to do it!

I HATE when people say they'll do something and then don't!!!! Especially when it's an intentional "yeah yeah I'll do it" when the whole time they had no intention of doing it at all. If you're not going to do what I've asked just tell me. I may be mad but I'll still have respect for you and know you have some integrity. I am trying to do some cleaning and rearranging that Allen asked me to do. I got to a point where I need him to move a heavy table for me. He told me yesterday he would move it. This morning when it hadn't been done I indicated I still needed the table moved and by his reaction I knew he had no intention of moving it. He only told me he would to shut me up! I am so flippin irritated! And I knew there was no point in arguing with him about it because he would just say more things to shut me up! So I shut myself up instead.


And as a side...I do understand that people get busy and sometimes things get left undone unintentionally. This doesn't bother me as I know I sometimes do this as well. But I am apologetic and get the thing done as soon as I can!!

And let's get some POSITIVE going in this post! I don't post my to-do lists very often. I'm sure if I did I'd get more done! LOL But anywho I wanted to mention what I got done yesterday. Besides laundry, dishes, and regular stuff I am working on cleaning/ducluttering my "craft" room. I've stopped crafting (for the most part anyway...I'm now doing digital scrapbooking because it takes less space) and we're going to turn my craft room into the girls room. So yesterday I got a HUGE area cleaned up. The recycling and regular garbage cans were packed (thank goodness today is trash day). My trunk is FULL of stuff to take to Goodwill. I've got 2 big boxes of craft supplies to take to a scrapbooking friend of mine.



My goal today is to get the rest of the laundry put away and wash one more load and rearrange the furniture in the living room. I sold an old decorative sewing machine this week so now I have more room (and one less thing to dust)!

Fashback Friday: Ethan

Told you I'd get back to the regularly scheduled program!

Then (2004)




Now (2008)

Flashback Friday: G fly g fly so so fly

Not flashing back on my own life at the moment. We'll get back to our regularly scheduled program soon enough. Tonight I want to tell you about something that just makes me go....hmmmm....



Is it possible that Jesse McCartney looks younger now than he did a few years ago. Is it also possible that a WHITE KID says "g fly g fly....so so fly". I just giggle everytime I hear it!

Half over and Whole tired!

The day is just barely half over and I am already whole tired! I actually got to sleep in because my sister had Lil g last night. So I picked her up at 10. Then we went to the school it being 11:00 early release. So we played in the heat waiting for Cori and Ethan and once the kids came out we waited even longer because Ethan made a little girlfriend and wanted to go play at her house. Of course this little girls mom was the LAST parent to show up! Oh well she seemed nice and I'll call her next week and make arrangements. Then I drove through McDonald's and got chicken nuggets and french fries for the kids to eat. We had to run home to get Lil g clean pants and underwear (I HATE POTTY TRAINING). After that we headed to Ross to buy new pillows and bed sheets for the trailer (which reminds me I have to make a flag for them...grrrr). Allen and the kids' are going to the Shreeve family reunion next week and taking the trailer. So now we're home....I'm hot...the kids are relatively quiet....but I'm not done. My mom will take Lil g for a hair cut this afternoon and I'll have to pick her up from there at 5:30 for swim lessons at 6:00. Hopefully someone will meet me at the pool at 6:30 to take the kids home so I can get going with my evening. Which also means I have to be dressed and pretty before I leave to get Lil g at 5:30! AHHHHH Did I mention I'm tired??
