Getting to know you me...getting to know all about you me... |
I know, Stormii, you tagged me for a photo meme..I haven't forgotten. I WILL get to it.
But first..here is a short little thing I am taking from The Median Sib who probably thinks I have forsaken her and her blog(s)..but I really haven't. I WILL get back to commenting everywhere one of these days. Anyway..here are 5 little things about me..
5 Get-To-Know-You Questions
1.What was your favorite game as a child? Hands down...CANDY LAND! Well, at least when I was a small child. As I got older, it was CLUE. I could kick all my friends' booties at CLUE! (no picture of Clue because I can't find a picture of the board game from the 70s.)
2. What's the best thing about being you? I hate these deep questions...the best thing about being me is having the kids that I have. I can't imagine me without them.
3. What's your favorite meal of the day and why? Supper because my hubby usually cooks it and he is a great cook! Also, because I eat very little at work all day so I am usually very hungry by the time I get home. 
4. Would you rather be exceptionally smart or exceptionally good looking? My gut reaction is to say exceptionally good-looking. Can't help it. However, if I think about it a little, I would have to say exceptionally smart. But why can't I be BOTH?? :)
5. How would you describe your underwear drawer? Empty. Did you NOT read this post?? (by the way, if anyone talented enough wants to design my "panty martyr" mascot, feel free!)

In other news...
I'm cheating on the mini-cheeseburgers with this... Heaven in a can right there. Yeah.
My phone rings at work today. I see on the ID that it is Bubba. I say hello and this is what I heard. "I read your blog. How do you know what the mini-cheeseburgers taste like??" No, "Hi, how are ya?"..no "Hi, honey." Nice. See, Bubba was out of town all weekend. The local CIP opened within the past couple of months and we have never been there. Yes, we are way too obsessed with food, shut up. I had to laugh because as I wrote the post last night, I KNEW he would see my post and wonder because I didn't tell him about those heavenly mini-cheesburgers. ANYWAY...he calls me back and says, why don't we go to "Cheeseburger In Paradise" after work? Oh why not? So the whole fam damily went. First, it looks really cool inside. The hostess and servers were all super nice. Lindsey our personal server was awesome and garnered a $10 tip from Bubba. (MIGHT have been because she was barely legal and blonde and cute. That or the fact that she took great care of us, we might never know.)
Ok, but..THE MUSIC WAS TOO FREAKING LOUD!!!!! Huh? Oh, my ears are still ringing. Yes, I am old. Shut it.
The food was scrumptious (I don't actually use the word scrumptious in real life--or should I say "IRL?" ;) inside joke only a few will get. Sorry.) We got the...wait for it..wait for it...MINI-CHEESEBURGERS as an appetizer. I am trying to see just how many times I can mention mini-cheeseburgers in one post. I swear I don't own stock in CIP or know Jimmy Buffett personally. Besides the mini-cheeseburgers other appetizer, Bubba ordered those onion ring string things..pretty good. I got the jerk chicken wrap for my main course. Kiddies got chicken fingers ficken chingers. Guard Girl got a bacon cheeseburger I think and Bubba got the burger of the day some cajun thing that ended up having peppers on it that were NOT declared in the description of said burger. So he sent it back and got a new bacon burger. The manager (at least I think it was the manager. I swear I was old enough to be his mother.)was nice and checked on us a hundred times after the burger fiasco which in fact wasn't a fiasco at all so I should really just shut up. Finally, we got the chocolate nachos for dessert. YUM to the M to the Y! Both chocolate and cinnamon chips with chocolate sauce drizzled over them and strawberries cut to look like tomatoes on top served with 3 scoops of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Sorry you guys. I just described in detail my dinner out. I am truly pathetic. But on the bright side, this will be fodder for some people to make fun of and really, who doesn't LOVE to be made fun of?? I know I do. ;)
WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG FOR THE CLEANING OF THE BABY J PUKE THAT HE JUST SPEWED ON THE LIVING ROOM CARPET. LYSOL, STAT!!
After dinner, we went across the parking lot to DEB and found Guard Girl a dress for the Sweetheart Dance. Let me just say here and now...WHO said "You should go to Deb and Dots and see what kinds of dresses they have??" WHO said that BEFORE a certain teenager started shopping all over creation (read:down to Indy)for a dress? Who? WHO? ME, that's who! Does anyone (*cough*guard girl*cough*) listen to me? Nooooooo...but we found one and it's cute and looks really good on her. I'll post a photo tomorrow. There isn't one online.
Should I stop here? Is this already too long? I'm up too late and just in a rambling mood. Ok, I'll stop. Happy Tuesday, everyone!
One more thing...I totally missed "How I Met Your Mother" tonight and didn't DVR it either so if it was new I am so going to be ticked off. But right now? I'm not ticked off because I don't know if it was new. So nobody tell me if it was new so I won't get ticked off, kthnxbye Oh HELL no! I did NOT just say that..someone shoot me now! |

| hey freaks! nothing to see here!! (well, not that kind of thing to see here) Move along! |
Alright, all you freaks living in Germany and surrounding areas...stop being big old PERVS and searching for things like "ficken, ficken, ficken, ficken, b*aby ficken(oh my GOD, EW!), and ficken mit animals (double triple and quadruple EW!!!!)" JUST STOP!!! You are dirty, nasty, filthy minded people and I have to give my blog a cleansing shower every time I see that you have visited by searching for those things. Heebie Jeebies, my friend, HEEBIE JEEBIES...
I forgot to take any pictures on the digital yesterday during the winter guard performance, so no photos to blog today. I know, I know, you are beyond disappointed. Maybe next time. :) Speaking of winter guard...Guard Girl's Brianna's guard (jeez, I really should just use her name) finished 2nd in their class at the competition. Their show uses the song "Nora" by Blessid Union of Souls. No good stories there except for my 13 year old niece standing up and screaming, "GO BRIANNA, WHITNEY, AND ELIZABETH!!!" right before the guard started their show...meaning it was DEAD SILENT at that moment. I reached over, grabbed a handful of her shirt and yanked her down in the seat. My sister was doing that Mom whisper through gritted teeth without moving her lips thing. You moms know the whisper of which I speak. "Haley, do NOT do that again!" This while everyone around us is turned around staring.
I am totally in love with the mini-cheeseburgers from Cheeseburger in Paradise. I think I want to marry them. No, really..they are THAT good!
So much for my stinking stupid diet...
Grey's Anatomy spoilers ahead..just in case you watch..but didn't watch...Tara this means you.
Ok, I didn't see it coming...Izzy had a baby 11 years ago? Wow! I like the new resident in the Nazi's place. She's happy and chipper, but a good doctor. I am glad she put Christina in her place..she gets a little high and mighty sometimes. I WANT to hate McDreamy..but I can't. He makes me swoon every week. I cried with Meredith when she lost it in the closet. I heart George in a big way. He's my new tv boyfriend... Next week's episode looks GOOD!
Ok, nevermind. I didn't really spoil all that much...just blathered on about who I like..etc. Carry on.
Alright..my brain is not working tonight..so this is it. Everyone have a great monday!!!
CLICK MY RENTER...SHE'S ONLY HERE A FEW MORE HOURS!!! |

| What's a Tired Tunia?? |
I have a new renter! She's really cool,a great writer and a librarian. What?? You don't think a librarian could be cool?? Surely you jest! Spending her days amongst thousands and thousands of books is not cool? Well, it is in my world. She blogs..and is married to a blogger. It's all in the family, don't ya know. Her hubby was once my tenant here..but I'm not mentioning him because this isn't about him..it's about my awesome renter. Her name is Molly, by the way. She's a fiery red-head married to the blogging equivalent to Homer J Simpson (only he is much smarter and much funnier) and is mommy to two GORGEOUS red heads. She writes some really great posts that are funny and thought provoking as well. I relate to her in many ways! Anyway, go visit Tired Tunia. You know the drill...clicky on her thumbnail over there in the sidebar. You'll be glad you did!
Ok, that being said..I had something like 29 bids for my rental space this time! It is soooo hard to choose. So...I thought I would put some links here to some of those that I had to "deny."
Click on this one and this one with the kick ass template and click here and also here and
over here and here's Chris(he's HOT!) and here's one with a cute template and that is all for now because I don't want to drive pikkel crazy with all these links. :)
 GOOD NEWS!!! I did NOT win the Dumb C*** award over at that one blog I told you about a while back. Dang..and I had my speech all ready and everything. Sorry, madbull and Rocky Jay, y'all will have to find some other way to try to piss me off. ;)
Cute child anecdote alert!!! Yesterday, Bubba brought the kids in to my work to see everybody. My friend S always buys them candy from the vending machine. As she was taking them to the breakroom for their candy run, she asked them if they had been good that day. They both said yes. S said, Tater Tot, are you pulling my leg? Tater looked down at S's leg looking a little puzzled and looked back up at her and said, "No." (kind of like, are you crazy, lady??)
Ya had to be there. :) |

| Please be Pacific |
So, I'm watching Oprah on my dvr from the show that aired yesterday. She had the parents that were in the news for hiring a stripper for their 16 year old son's birthday party on her show. (don't get me started on that..that is a whole other post!)
But anyway, the mother was talking about taking the film to Wal-Greens to be developed (that is how they got caught) and how she told them not to do 1 hour developing in their store but to send them out. Here's what she said...
"I told them PACIFICALLY not to develop them in the store."
Yeah..gives you an idea of what kind of parents they are. All I will say is that they seem way more worried about the fact that they got caught and arrested than why the whole thing was just wrong...but like I said..that is a whole other post. |

Showgirls??? mmm kay...

You are orderly and good at following a set plan.
Your talents lie in working with written records and numbers in a systematic, orderly way.
You would make an excellent:

Timekeeper - Title Examiner - Typist
The worst career options for your are artistic careers, like comedian or dancer. |
That's pretty close to me.

| Panty Martyr |
I've come to the conclusion that I am a panty martyr. Yes, you heard me right.
Let me explain. You see..as the Matriarch of the family, I am in charge of making sure the little booties of my children are covered in nice, clean, hole-free undies.(Because you never know when you might be in an accident and have to have your clothes cut from your body and then I would die from embarrassement if the nurses and doctors saw old, dirty, holey undies!) And I do..for the most part. Granted, there are mornings when I am running through the house looking for a clean pair of "big boy underwear" for Baby J or a pair of panties for Tater that actually fit her now and not 2 sizes ago. (though there MAY have been a morning or two where you MIGHT have heard these words in our house.."just pull them up the best you can...we'll find better ones for tomorrow." But NOT from me...oh no)
Then there is Guard Girl who prefers these kinds of panties...
So, anyway..back to the martyrdom. In the quest to keep my kids in nice clean panties...Mama does without. No, no..I don't mean I go commando or anything. I mean I can't remember the last time I bought new panties for myself. Seriously. So what does that mean? It means that about once a week, maybe twice, I throw panties away. Why? Holes. Elastic that is hanging in little strings from the band. Elastic so stretched out that I spend the day at work running to the bathroom every five minutes or so to pull up my panties which have now bunched up somewhere about mid-thigh.
I think I am down to..oh..approximately 5 pair of panties, not counting the 2 pair of maternity panties I have left over from my last pregnancy which are for back-up usage only. (read:when laundry is behind.) What's that? Huh? My youngest is almost 3 you say? Shut it.
But by golly my son's cutie little patootie looks adorable in his brand spanking new Spiderman underwear.
My point?? I sacrifice MY comfort...MY bootie for the sake of the children.
Panty Martyr. That's me.Labels: panty martyr panties |

I don't give a shit about heart smilies. It has nothing to do with that.
I'm the whiner?? Who's the crybaby?? Who is the follower?? Who needs to grow the hell up?? Not me. OK THANKS GOODBYE
For anyone to think HE is worth following anywhere..that is laughable.
Wow, this is getting to be so fun. I haven't had this much fun since...well, since yesterday. Every day is a new adventure.
By the way, copy and paste whatever the hell you want. Screen shot to your heart's content. I mean what I say. I am not scared of my own words.

| the best weekend EVER |
hypocrisy
Main Entry: hy·poc·ri·sy
Pronunciation: hi-'pä-kr&-sE also hI-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -sies
Etymology: Middle English ypocrisie, from Old French, from Late Latin hypocrisis, from Greek hypokrisis act of playing a part on the stage, hypocrisy, from hypokrinesthai to answer, act on the stage, from hypo- + krinein to decide -- more at CERTAIN
1 : a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion
2 : an act or instance of hypocrisy
Hmmm..still don't get it....**shrugs** Oh well. :) Moving on...
Must speak of my renter for a few. The blog renting space this week belongs to none other than my girl, Melissa, from Jetting Through Life. She's boistrous and funny and a wonderful mommy to one smart little girl, Em. She's married to a policeman who blogs, too. She lives in the next state over from me so we plan to get together sometime soon and have a girl's night out. Hmm..perhaps we could go fishin', Melissa..know what I mean?? ;) Anyway, she has an awesome blog so go for a visit. I think you will like her.
We made homemade pizza tonight. Bubba got a dough recipe from the Food Network which was awesome and we just added toppings. The kids devoured it. Bubba thought he was Mr Pizza or something..tossing the dough up in the air and everything. He never dropped it though so I didn't get any good pictures of ruined dough on the floor. I really need to get him one of those big floppy chefs hats.
Tomorrow starts American Idol, or as Scooter says, American Karoake. hee hee I am disturbingly excited. I can't help it. I love to watch all the bad singers (that they let through to the judges on purpose, I know.) I like to try to figure out who will win..which always ends up being the lesser of two evils..but I have a certain fondness for AI. Cheap and easy entertainment. What do you want me to do? Read a book?? ;)
I do want to say one thing...I got this template that I've been using for the last several months from Web Divas. I love it. It's simple. It was $40 well spent because I don't have a clue how to design a template and I don't want to learn. I have nothing but good things to say as Cherry, who designed it, was so easy to work with and she got it all changed over quickly and easily. I would recommend them to anyone. To equate the fact that I actually gave them money to anything at all to do with the drama as of late, is just ridiculous. There is no joke. The joke is not on me. I solicited a business and that is all. As I said way back when I got this template, Cherry at Web Divas Rocks! (Pause now so people can talk about how I am sucking up to them. I know how this works....la la la la la la la)
I've learned that anything and everything I ever say here will be misconstrued..so I am having a hell of a fun time with it. It's always fun to get a link from someone each day telling me where my words have been taken out of context once again. Who knew that a nice girl from Indiana could cause so much controversy? Hee hee...
Sorry to everyone who may be out of the loop..TRUST ME, you don't want to be IN the loop. ;)
That's all for the moment. Happy Monday, kiddies!
EDITED TO ADD: Funny thing the REFRESH function...it need not be used when you want the world to see how OBSESSED with a website you really are..either that or you just want to drive the stats-obsessed blog owner crazy and make him THINK he has something on you that he can make fun of you about. I got your number baby...I am writing your script for you, darlin'. :heart smilie: |

| this is a post about nothing...it may be long..it may be short..who knows..dive in to see what's up |
Ok, first? The next person to say "kthxbye" will be strung up by their thumbs and forced to listen to "Marilyn Manson sings Air Supply" over and over and over. Is that clear? k thnx bye OK? Thanks. Goodbye!
Next, thanks for those who have stopped over from my landlord, Monty's place, The Daily Bitch. I should have been updating here before now but, hey, at least you got to look at Bubba a few extra days. ;)
A word about my landlord, aka_Monty. That girl is the shizz-it. She makes me laugh on a daily basis and always has something good to say. Sure, she may bitch about some things, but she is far from BEING a bitch. In my opinion, of course. :) You should visit her because I say so.
Burned cream corn is not very good but I couldn't let it ALL go to waste. Just sayin...
Drama. Can we all just grow the heck up and stop the DRAMA??? If anyone from "over there" can just email me or comment here and tell me what I did..I would greatly appreciate it. I really don't deserve to be called a whore for no reason.
Only a few more hours left for my renter. It's been a LONG week.
What I watched this week...Lost, Desperate Housewives and Gray's Anatomy. Lost and DH were new and Gray's Anatomy was a recap episode..but it showed all the best scenes from the season so far. Love that show! Last week on ER, the CEO from the company I work for made an appearance. If you blinked, you missed it, but it was kind of cool seeing someone I know on tv. Doesn't take much to excite me, I know.
Bubba started his physical therapy for his shoulder on Friday. One step closer to getting back to work. Still, it will be a while. We sooo need a 2nd car before he does get back to work. Anyone have a spare? I'd link to you here and everything!! :)
While surfing my blogroll recently I found some great posts... Tired Tunia has a great post about her honeymoon. She has inspired me to post about mine..just not tonight. Her husband, eccentric father has the all-time BEST snot picture! No really. Seriously. I mean it.
Wendy asks a good question about popular blogs on your blogroll. Check her out.
Sorry, guys..you were waiting for a new post and this is what you got.
Now I must go watch "Some Kind of Wonderful" on HBO. I feel some nostalgia coming on...

| Happy Belated Birthday! |
Yesterday was Bubba's 34th birthday and I didn't even write a really cool post all about him. Bad wife! So if you stop by here today...PLEASE leave him belated birthday wishes!!! (I'm using puppy dog sad eyes and everything)
As you can see by the photo, he's a manly man. :)
I love you, honey!
Oh yeah..and click my renter. Whatever. |

| A big bunch of MADBULL**** |
Hi guys!! Miss me?? I had to take a little blog breather. (read:couldn't get a damn thing out of my head and into a post and blog explosion was driving me freakin' batty!) Buuuut...I am back now, ready to post more frivolous fun for all the blog world to see! My love of exclamation points is still apparent, as well. (or should that be..."as well!!!")
Sooooo, first things first...I must welcome my newest renter to the FC hizz-ouse...the LEGENDARY..the FAMOUS (or is that INFAMOUS?)...the EVER sarcastic...**drumroll** MADBULL from My Waisted Life. Go clicky right now and then come back and see what else I have to say about him....I'll wait. Ok...so anyway, madbull and I have a history. No! Not like that, you big pervs...we have a Blog Explosion history. I first met madbull over at the shout box at Blog Explosion, though his screen name there is belgianbrighton. In the beginning, we got along. Then some stuff happened..things were said...and then we didn't like each other much..if at all. I THINK we have agreed to disagree now about pretty much everything. We also have agreed to, well, not really like each other at all. Now? We are just sarcastic to each other on a constant basis. It works. Whatever. Madbull will be moving to the states come May...so ladies, WATCH OUT! I believe he may just be a smooth talker..I could be wrong. :) Anyway, he does have some pretty funny posts sometimes and on occasion, he writes something with emotion and it is really cool. Oh, and he likes to link to me in his posts..and call me a whiner. What can I say?? Not everyone thinks I am such a wonderful person.
Madbull..this is for you, baby.. Welcome to my blog. :) CLick his thumbnail, people! He gave me precious credits for the space...oh and PLEASE comment and tell him that the BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, MAGNIFICENT mommy blogger, Angie sent you!!! (did I mention his absolute LOVE of mommy bloggers?)
Speaking of people (bloggers) who don't like me....I've been nominated for an award over at a blog called I Talk 2 Much..or some such thing...where they are having some blog award thingie. I'm not linking 'cause..well, I'm not. If ya wanna look it up somehow, go for it, and then you will see why I am not linking. The nomination came from a blogger who goes by Rocky J, someone who I am pretty sure I have never spoken to in any way. He was so kind to nominate me in the category of "Dumb C***" Isn't that just the sweetest thing ever? I'm not winning and I am glad because I am sure as heck not posting an "I won the Dumb C*** award" button on this blog!! :) 'Nuff about that.
Ok, I have a warning for y'all who read my blog regularly. American Idol is coming soon. I repeat, AMERICAN IDOL is coming soon! Do you know what that means, kids? Yes, you are right. It means that for the next couple of months my posts will be ALL ABOUT American Idol.(see my archives) You see..I am an admitted AI junkie. There is no cure, so I just roll with it. Accept it. But, I thought I would warn you so you can avoid me like the plague for a while if need be.
Upon weigh-in last week..I have now lost 10 pounds! 10 point something..I just can't remember the something. How do you like them apples?? (remember that line in Good Will Hunting? Love it.) I haven't been really good, though this past week..hope I am not back up a pound. This losing weight crap sucks big donkey butts, ya know??
I promised a panties post..it is forthcoming...just not tonight. :)
My girl Melissa, AKA mjet called me earlier this evening. We talked for an hour and a half or something. Cool. And all I have to say is, Melissa, we have to go out! Perhaps we could go..um...fishing...I hear those "little fish" are quite appealing! ;) hee hee
Ok, since this post has mostly been about people who don't like me....I will end it and think about the panties post for tomorrow. I also got tagged a couple of times for memes, so I'll be doing that too in the near future.
Happy Monday! |
