Kritta slapped me from behind! FFFF Pics!

I'm leaving on a Jet Plane you guys... and its about FREAKING time!!!

MSM and I are going on Vacation. Kids get to spend time with Grandma, Grandpa, and cousins and we are taking off!

But guess what is happening during that time?

Guess what my BBFF did for me?

Ya'll know Kritta? Sewing and Mom extraordinaire??? She wants to pull me out of my HOMELESS corner... she wants to save me from pimping myself out so to speak.

Remember how I told you that I have been entering all these contests to win a BLOG Makeover?

I've been sitting on my street corner panhandling and Kritta finally felt sorry for me and put money in my cup! Or got me a BLOG MAKEOVER!!! Can you believe that? She didn't do it in front of my face either... she didn't it behind my back! (The best kind of friend if you ask me) My eyes runneth over as I jumped up and down for joy! I was going to be getting a face lift! But the kindness doesn't end there... I get a tummy tuck, microdermabrasion, and boob job... I might not look the same from the OUTSIDE... but I will still be the same on the inside... just looking more like a Victoria Secret model instead of my current state of homelessness, dirty, white trash who has chocolate letter cut outs.

All of this is happening starting this weekend into the next week.

So I will be taking my REAL LIFE vacation AND my Blog cation at the same time.

If I get a chance to update and/or post... ya KNOW I will cause I'm highly dedicated to this blog and don't go anywhere without my lap top. But if you don't hear from me here... you will know why!

But I'll still be on TWITTER!!! Your. Welcome! :)

In the mean time.

My kids are not allowed to get on my computer. They get it dirty and ruin stuff fast... so mine is off limits. We have another one for them... our old one.

So you will understand that I was surprised when I saw this evidence that they don't listen to me!!!






They even involved their friend on the crime!!!
I can't believe they would do that behind my back... it looks like that is happening a lot around these parts.

Well here is some pictures to remember ME by... until we meet again!


Join Candid Carrie's Friday Foto Finish Fiesta!

And THANKS KRITTA... I LUB YOU!!! And I can't wait for Creative Blog Designs to do my major surgery!!!

***I will still be getting your comments on my phone while I'm away... so PLEASE PLEASE comment and give me your funniest random comment to keep me entertained!!! PUH-LEASE!!!

When I get my new makeover I'm going to be starting a MOST FAVORITE COMMENT OF THE WEEK series... ya'll be the stars and YOU WILL love it!!!

Love,

Day off: Gravity--addiction--people at cross walks

Today is my "day off"

But I had to tell you about something.

So You Think You Can Dance was on last night.

Mia Michaels piece last night moved me. Her inspiration for the piece was addiction... the song, Gravity by Sara Bareilles

It was beautiful... maybe it's one of those things that you only understand if you understand dance, but I don't see how that is the case with this dance. Just the song is incredible in and of itself, but she creates a story.

Maybe I understand it because I understand addiction. Maybe not a drug addiction, but I do understand addiction in my own way. Things I've had to solve, things I'm still trying to overcome...but I understand it.

Anyway... I'm sharing it with you if you weren't able to see it. Not my addiction :), but the SYTYCD piece from last night. (Start watching it at about 1:16) The guy in this piece is from HAWAII--just thought I'd let all my Hawaiian peeps know that! :)



Random Thought: Why when people cross the road on a cross walk do they slow down and then look at you with a smirk while you sit in your car waiting for them. WHY? Don't they remember driving in a car? Don't they remember what it's like to want to run those cross walk people over who are walking slow just because they feel that POWER of control???

Karma people... Karma...

Love,

VIDEO: Snuggie vs. Last season's Grim Reaper

WE were wandering through Kohl's on the 4th of July weekend when out pops (sitting in the middle of the aisle) about 10 boxes left of the SNUGGIE.

The REAL deal here guys, the AS SEEN ON TV, was clearly marked on the box.

I actually asked for this for Christmas... HELLO, I read, I NEEDED one--want had NOTHING to do with it.

THEY WERE ON SALE!!! Yea me!!!

I wrinkled my nose, then furrowed my brow, and thought about buying one for all the time it took to lift one box up and into my cart.

And all became right in the world.

See I have been GREEN BLUE with envy since Kristina P. started flaunting hers around on her site. She even has a SNUGGIE OF THE WEEK picture! It was like stabbing me in the heart each and every time I went to her site.

Torture of the worst degree.

But now I have my own. And my prayers have been answered. Can I get an AMEN???

So knowing now how much I love the SNUGGIE, sorry T., but I do it's pretty much genius, you will imagine my dismay when I found my kids disrespecting it!!!

That's right... first of all, my SON was calling it a dress! A DRESS!!! What the what???

And then...and then...gulp... they put it up against the grim reaper halloween costume of 'O8???

Like the two could even co-exist in the same room!

I hang my head in shame.

Here is the video evidence:



(No children, grim reapers costumes, or Snuggie's were TRULY harmed in the making of this video)

I punished them people... I did. They will NOT be allowed to see the new ICE AGE movie until MSM and I get back from our week long trip!

That will show them.

Questions for the day: Would you wear the Snuggie to work? Would you wear it to church as a dress, somewhat toga style? Would you send me money if I did either of these as a dare??? I kid I kid, I'm a wuss I couldn't do it... but would you send someone money if they actually DID and I got evidence of it? Anybody willing to do it for money?

Okay, talk amongst yourselves.

Love,

Getting tagged never was so easy!!!

I think Most of you should know who know me, that I NEVER do tags. Or haven't for a LONG time. Partly because I would be DOING them all.the.time if I did, and partly because I'm lazy, and partly because I'm selfish... I like to just write about whatever I want not some random questions someone thought up and started sending around as a MEME or a TAG?

I became aware that Southern Sage tagged me... ( I usually read THIS blog of his, but he tagged me on the other one) I think out of spite because I'm pretty sure he knows I don't do them... but considering that I consider him a close internet friend (as close as an internet Daddy Blogger can be), and the fact that these answers flowed pretty easily... on my NON day of writing... I have decided to participate in his tag. hehe...

Of course you guys may answer any question you like for yourself in my comment box... but I have NO idea why your answers would be any different then mine???


There are RULES... but I hate rules... ya'll know that also... but here they are (rolls eyes):
1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention, add one more question of your own. 2. Tag other people. Sounds simple enough, right? (ummmm... no)

What is your current obsession?

Sage

What are you wearing today?
My G's, a shirt, and a LONG sundress.

What's for dinner?
Dinner? What is this word you speak of?

What would you eat for your last meal?
Ha! Girls, especially sexy girls don't "eat".

What are you listening to right now?
The voices in my head…(cue creepy music now)

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Some po-dunk town in the Deep South… can't remember the name… or wherever Sage is.

Which Language do you want to learn?
Redneck.

What do you love most about where you currently live?
NOTHING… it's not some town in po-dunk ville Deep South!!!

What style is your current home decorated in?
I don't have a home. Thanks for reminding me.

If you had to choose between being beautiful/hot or smart, which would you choose?
Beautiful… Sage doesn't care much about the smarts.

What is your favorite color?
Sage

What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe?
Hmmm… probably my homemade "I lub me some Southern Sage" homemade wife beater tank top I made… and tie dyed… then cut it like a belly shirt because that's how he would like it.

What were you doing ten years ago?
My life was bleak and non existent until Sage entered so I don't really remember??? Probably working some street corner?

If you had $300.00 now… what would you spend it on?
A ticket to po-dunkville deep south.

What are you going to do after this?
Wait by the computer until Sage makes a comment somewhere… I have a GPS blog tracker on him. Don't Judge me Paul Blart!

What are your favorite films?
Is there any with Southern Sage in it???


Your Favorite books?
Look at answer above


Do you collect anything?
Comments Sage makes over the internet… they are what keeps my life worth living


What makes you follow a blog?
If Sage follows it.


What was the most enjoyable thing you did today?
Read Sage's Blog


Ann's question: What makes you comment on a blog?
If Sage has commented on it first.

Anissa's Question: As you know I home school -- If you could would you? Do you agree with homeschooling?
Can I teach about Rednecks when I home school? Or my interest in the Deep south? If so, then sure. I'm for it. I would ONLY homeschool if I no longer cared about MY TIME.

Tonya's Question: What is a talent you wished you had?
Keeping Sage's interest?

Kyooty's Question: If you could be any other animal other then Human, what would you be?
A fly on the wall in Sage's house. That's more of an insect not an animal… so it really would depend on if Sage was a Cat person or a Dog person. Then I would be THAT animal.

Carrins Question: Rush just told me that by 2042, white people will be the minority. Do you believe that? Would that be a big deal to you?
We already ARE the minority where I live… and do Redneck's count as white people? No that would not be a big deal… then I would be even MORE special!

April TX Question: What is your favorite thing to do outdoors?
Sage, I mean work on my SAGE in my Garden because it REMINDS me of Sage… get your mind out of the GUTTER people!!! (FTR--I don't have a garden, but it was the best I could come up with)

Sage's Question: Are my stunning good looks, my supreme intelligence, or my delightful charm the reason you love me so?
Hahahahahah... I'm sorry Sage… I don't love you… pffffttt what gives you THAT idea???

Shelle's Question: If you had 10 minutes left to live and were give a choice to eat only ONE more thing (food item), what would it be? Answering my own question... I Caramel FUDGE brownie with Chocolate Icing--Homemade (with SAGE spice of course)!

***Okay I'm totally tagging any person that has DE-FOLLOWED me!!! May the VooDoo dolls work always! (enter psycho music now)

P.S. Go over to Real World Venus vs. Mars and see my husband and I LIVE and in person answering NEWLY WED game questions.

Daddy Geek Boy is giving us the MALE perspective on compatibility in HIS marriage... pretty neat stuff!

Video, well kinda...

Hey EVERYONE!!!

Hope you all had a great HOLIDAY! I did.

I actually stayed off the computer quite a bit.

Does being on my blackberry count?

Anyway, I was going to write this post about the SNUGGIE we bought ON sale... and how my kids dishonored it, sorry Kristina P... but instead for today...

I have a video of my husband, MountainSport Man, LIVE and in person... thought you might enjoy it.

But I posted it over at REAL WORLD Venus vs. Mars. So head on over there... and Please be safe, don't crash into any other bloggers while you make your way over, but DO stay awhile and it's BYOW (Bring Your Own Wit).


Love,
