daydreaming

Photobucket

Guess where I wish I was today?....and who I wish I was there with!

:-) miss you...xoxo

top of the muffin' to ya!

mmmmmm...muffins

*warning*-this post is full of totally randomishness...yes, this is how my brain works.

So, that whole ooohhh my eyelashes are so awesome thing, well...they were only super awesomish yesterday...today...uhh not so much.

I really wish I was still in bed right now....or that I could just take a nice hot shower alone without Bella busting in and taking over....ahhh..two more days and I get a much needed break (she's headed to her Dad's house on Thursday..:-)

Bella told me this morning that she want's a baby sister! I told her that my body can't make babies anymore and to this she responded, "But, your stomach is fat!"....oh how I love my children!

I have nothing left to watch on evening tv except Stylista...and that's not saying much. PR is over, ANTM is over, TD is over...sigh..it's all Christmas crap for the next few weeks I suppose.

The one positive highlight of this post...I heart the new espresso truffle drink at Starbucks...mmmm..yumm. Plus, consuming them will surely help me fit into all of my winter cloths I am sure of it!..

i survived!

Back to work!....yep, 5 days off is plenty enough for me. I love my children, I love relaxing and watching movies...but (omg I can't believe I am saying this...) only in moderation.


The girls and I stayed home for Thanksgiving, I slaved over the stove for 6 hours to prepare our feast. I was hell-bent on having my turkey come out looking picture caramel perfect. So, I took some tips from this lady on Oprah and marinaded the bird in a mixture of soy sauce, mustard, lemon juice and garlic. Worked pretty well actually, especially since I basted that damn thing every freaking 20 minutes. It was beautiful...I was hot..tired..and irritable..but my bird was gorgeous...lol Pies, stuffing, green bean casserole (Paula Dean's recipe..omg the best EVER), mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, cranberry sauce...it was all wonderful! My incessantly dysfunctional need for control, order and perfection was in full force as I prepared our amazing meal...

Of course my little heathens didn't appreciate any of it. They bitched....oh yes..they bitched..as usual. We had a butt load of left overs, and I was the only one interested in having a reheated version of our feast again the next day. Blah, damn kids...we spent a great deal of time watching all the Christmas movies that the networks love to flood into their programming schedules this time of year and in between I managed to get the house cleaned and didn't drown my children ...so I guess it was a successful holiday.

But seriously, the best part of having 5 days off....no make up! My eyelashes had enough down time to get full and healthy again so this morning I put on my mascara and my eyelashes freakin' ROCK today! Yes, this really is my life!

err...it really is funny...but I didn't think so at first

Bowl add

So, last night I was driving home...it was about 6:30 pm and pretty dark out. I got to the intersection of Thomas Rd. and 44th St....there it was...the new Jack-In-The-Box add campaign billboard... I had all of 3 seconds to take it in before the sea of traffic behind me and the green light in front of me was enough pressure to force me to move... So, in my brief moment I saw the images and had no time to really read the content. All I saw was the Asian food...the Asian hair...and the bad for hair part....the compounding imagery forced my mind to immediately jump to the OMG that was so racist thought.

I called Hilda to rant about the racist Jack-in-the-crack add I'd just seen. As I was describing it to her, she started laughing uncontrollably. Yes, laughing...at me! Eventually she was able to hold back her tears of laughter long enough to explain to my retarded ass that the add was about BOWLS...not Asians.

reformed myspace blogger

The basis of our soon to be fearless leader's campaign preached a message of change. Yes we can! I have had a long standing love-hate relationship with change but in the end I always learn to embrace it, accept it, get over myself...etc..

So, yes...I finally cut the cord. Two years ago when I started blogging on myspace it was a fabulous place to be. People had interesting contributions and the social networking aspect of the site was still viable. Today however; it's a hot mess. With the most recent additions of add-on application function full of mafia games, sending hugs & kisses, bumper stickers, and ridiculous movie and music quizzes it had become a sea of junk messages clogging the bulletins and comments section of the pages that I frequented.


I am embracing the necessary change in my life! I've decided to move past my adolescent days of blogging on myspace and have graduated myself to blogspot.com. I hope that my rants, rages, observations, celebrations and general thoughts find a suitable home here. I am officially, a reformed myspace blogger!
