T

his post was inspired by CardioGirl's Friday QOTD

"When you are with your friends, do your interactions include much touching — for example, hugging, kissing, roughhousing or rubbing backs? Would you like to have more of this?"

Short answer - No.

It reminded me of when I was pregnant with Evan.

I had been living in this apartment for 3 years and NEVER put anything on the walls. I drove to work with the radio on, only talked to co-workers and then went home and was silent too.

I started talking to him or singing with the radio because I thought "He won't even know what I sound like when he's born."

The DAY BEFORE I went to the hospital to have him induced (Due date was 1/7/96 but I needed the tax refund to be able to take 4 months off) I covered the walls with that marble contact paper & hung up some pictures. I also put his crib together. By myself. 9 mos pregnant. I used to kick ass, LOL.

Anyway, after he was born I talked to him like he was an adult. I would respond to his baby noises seriously like "Yes, I think so too." and "Really? Are you sure?"

I think that's why he spoke so well so early. There was no baby talk in this house!

I had to remember to touch him just to touch him, nodamene? Not just to change his diaper or give him a bath. I'm not naturally touch feely. I had to grow into that. It was easy with a baby. Not so easy now.

It breaks my heart when he says "Can I have a hug?" because I remember asking the same question of my mother.

I remember my dad giving me ONE (1) hug when I was 14 and this was after he knew he was dying.

So even when I don't want to be touched, I give The Boy a hug.

But I'm much better at roughhousing, LOL.

Evan used to be sooooooooooooooo sensitive. I just knew he'd get bullied. So I started roughhousing with him because there is no male influence in the house. I wanted him to know how to fight & take care of himself.

Now I can't stop it. *sigh*

But if the only physical interaction he gets is when I'm cutting his hair or something, I guess he'll take what he can get.

Poor kid.

Which is better? A mom who's all over you with hugs and kisses when you're 13 or a mom who punches you in the butt when you walk by?

:-)

It doesn't matter.

The Punching Mom is what he's got.

Wordle

I

woke up at 4:30, so I've been messing around with crap.

I imported my blog to Facebook.

I finally got Wordle to work, although the words seem to just come from the first page and not my entire blog or even my tags...



Whatever. Now I'm going to see what Plinky prompt there is for today.

Evan is down here after showering. He's snoring. But he keeps saying he isn't asleep. HA!

Liar.

I was trying to record him snoring, but the TV was too loud. So I muted the TV and then he woke up, of course. *sigh*

My head is better

I

took the allergy pills, left Evan a voice mail & a note to STFU and ended up taking a 3 hour nap.

----------------
Now playing: Janet Jackson - If (Extended Mix)

OMG. The boy used the computer while I was asleep and messed up my FoxyTunes so that Windows Media Player was the default media player. HOW DOES HE DO THIS SHIT???

Anyway, after the nap, I took more Benadryl at 7:30 and watched Chuck.

When Jeffster was playing @ the Buy More, Evan said "That sounds like 80s music"
Me - Duh. Chuck's sister & future BIL are about my age, so 80s music is appropriate for them.

----------------
Now playing: Will Smith - Men In Black

He acts like things from the 80s are too old to be shown or heard in public. WTF?

OUCH! I just sneezed. So the headache isn't gone, LOL. It's right there to come back at any time. :-(

Anyway. I have a bruise the size of my finger on my thigh. I don't know where it came from.

Yes, I have cottage cheese thighs. Bite me. It was hard to get that picture.

I don't remember falling or anything. No idea where I got that bruise. Unless Evan abuses me in my sleep...

I have nothing about which to write.

----------------
Now playing: LL Cool J - Head Sprung feat. Timbaland

Except I got my second notice that I'm heir to some big fortune in England.

*sigh*

Apparently this is the second time dude has tried to reach me. So I e-mailed him back.

"Why would I be heir to something in England? Why don't you people send this shit to someone in the UK or even Ireland. Wouldn't that be more likely than someone in America being heir to something across that big old ocean?"

I'm off to take more Benadryl and probably take another 3 hour nap.

Ta!

----------------
Now playing: Black Eyed Peas - Don't Phunk with my heart

My head hurts so bad.

A

t first I thought it was because of Aunt Flo, but it's over now so that wasn't it.

It's not a migraine.

It's been hurting for days and I might get an ulcer from all the effing tylenol/advil that I'm taking.

I'm going to take some Benadryl and pass out. I hope it's sinuses.

I'll bbl.

3 Days

T

hat's all it took for The Food Hoover (aka Evan) to eat this ENTIRE jar of peanut butter.

No, not on sandwiches or even crackers.

Just with a spoon.

No wonder I'm going broke...

Evan destroyed my computer AGAIN!

S

o Evan's been on the computer all day.

I told him to get off and came to check my e-mail.

All of my bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar are gone. I can't remember what all I had up there!

MOST of the bookmarks PERIOD are gone. Except his, of course.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Whining - 2/20/09

I

decided that I'd better add a date to the posts labeled "whining" or they would become indistinguishable from one another.

----------------
Now playing: Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out

For reasons unknown to me, I spend all day freezing until I take a nap that can last anywhere from 2 hours to 6 hours under ALL available blankets & comforters and then wake up sweating like I'd just done Tae-bo for 30 minutes (AS IF, I bought the tapes a long time ago and after I did the one that just showed the moves, decided it was too much of a workout for me, LOL.)

I don't have a fever. My temperature is always 97.something. So I don't know what it is.

*sigh*

Yesterday was the day that Evan was supposed to go to my brother's house.

I had planned to do the laundry earlier in the day and be home by 3:30 pm anyway, but I had to take a long ass nap and I didn't get out of the house until 3:17.

I had already had Evan load one basket of laundry in the trunk just in case I felt like going (because I had PMS and my back has been killing me...) and I finally felt like going right before the bus came.
----------------
Now playing: Jamie Foxx - Digital Girl (feat. Kanye West & The-Dream)

So I get to the laundromat and some bitch is parked in the Handicapped Space. I was not in the mood to go in and tell her to move or I'd call the police (I usually have Evan do that. "My mom is going to call the police on whoever it is that is parked in the handicapped space without a handicapped placard or tag if you don't move.")

So I just backed RIGHT UP TO THE DOOR and went in and got a rolling basket to transfer my laundry to a washer.

Bitch knew she was wrong.

Bitch - Hi, do I know you?
Me - My name is Angelika Lastname
Bitch - Oh, I know some Lastnames! You know Susie? Or Bob?
Me - *loading the washer & adding detergent & crap* No, I haven't always lived here.
Bitch - Yeah, I can tell you weren't raised here because you speak all proper (That's what these Southerners call Correct English spoken in a Northern Accent).
Me - Yep.
Bitch - One of the Lastnames is on a TV Show.
Me - I know. My mother told me. I've never met him.
Bitch - *some other shit I wasn't paying attention to because I was going back to my car to leave after setting my watch alarm for 30 minutes*
Me - Oh.
----------------
Now playing: Ludacris ft. T-Pain - One More Drink

So I went to Da Dolla Sto giving Bitch enough time to move her effing car. While I was there, I bought some Pamprin because Evan told me the other day that he could tell I was "on my period" from my attitude. (I don't know what he's talking about.)

I only take the Xanax at night if I'm finding it particularly hard to get to sleep because I really don't want to become addicted. Plus I normally have hours of TV to watch, so I don't get bored.

Anyway, when I got back to the laundromat, Bitch was gone. Duh.
----------------
Now playing: Yael Naïm - New Soul

So I continued reading that Artemis Fowl book of Evan's that he got from MD's other daughter.

Oh! Want to see a picture of my nephews?



They're 20, 13, and 17 from L to R. Doesn't the oldest one look like Obama? The middle one needs to at least shape up his 'fro, furreal.
----------------
Now playing: Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

Where was I?

Oh, I noticed I had a call from Evan on my cell phone or Mobile if you're British (Handy if you're German).

I tried to call him back, but of course he didn't have his ringer on. I keep it off all the time unless we go to Wal-mart so it won't wake me up in the middle of one of my sexy dreams about Hugh.

I knew then that he hadn't gone to my bro's house, so I called MD and told her that I was doing the laundry and that Evan was probably at home by himself. Which wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't on punishment for his report card and I trusted him not to 1) Go outside and try to run away to get away from the Evil Bitch from Hell or 2) Look for porn on the internet. Actually, I left a message. She didn't answer the phone. I figured she was asleep or on the terlet.
----------------
Now playing: Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up

So I was able to finish the laundry QUICKLY (amazing how little time it takes when The Boy isn't there dragging his feet and making it take HOURS).

When I got home, the wrong chair was sitting in front of the computer, so I knew MD had been here. She doesn't feel secure on the computer chair, so she always gets one of the folding chairs to sit in front of the PC.
----------------
Now playing: Spice Girls - Holla

OMG. Why is it taking me so long to type? The song changes before I have typed anything. Maybe I'm blacking out...
----------------
Now playing: Timbaland - Way I Are (Feat. Keri Hilson & D.O.E.)

The Kitchen Stool was in the living room with the remote on it holding down a note that said "I'm with Nana".

So I called MD and she said she had just left my house but that she'd bring Evan back.

I made her watch one of the youtube videos with Danny Gokey because when I played "Kiss from a Rose" for her from the DVR over the phone, her exact words were "You like that? With all the pitch changes and everything?"
----------------
Now playing: Janet Jackson - If (Extended Mix)

Me - That's how the song goes!
MD - I like Seal's version better.

*sigh*

Whatever.

She does not recognize how good My American Idol is. I hope he goes farther than Elliot Yamin. He should, because he doesn't have those teeth to deal with, LOL.

I'm not insulting Elliot. I love Elliot even though his new teeth scare me. It's just that AI voters seem to go for "cute" instead of talented (How else would you explain Sangina?)

What AM I talking about?

I have no idea...

That's all, I reckon.
----------------
Now playing: Aaliyah - Try Again

Oh, I remember.

When I was on JJHF talking to one of my peeps she asked if I'd seen "For the love of Ray J" the pee-er.

Me - Are you sure you aren't confusing him with R Kelly?
She - No. Google Ray J and pee.

So I did.

Ew.

I don't get it.

First of all, if you really love a woman, why the urge to piss on her? Second, if you have any respect for yourself at all, why let some man piss on you?
----------------
Now playing: Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man

So Kim Kardashian will forever be Pee Girl to me.

No wonder she was so embarrassed when the sex tape came out.

When will pseudo-celebs learn that sex tapes ALWAYS END UP ON THE INTERNET?!?!?

Remember when that couple was divorcing and the man got mad enough to post videos of his wife giving him oral sex (among other things) on the internet?

Never videotape anything that you don't want your grandmother to see, people.

Never videotape labor either. Especially if you think it's appropriate to show your friends???

That is all because I'm pretty sure this post is 100,000 words or something...

Let's be Friends!

I

received this award yesterday from PinkLady.

The "Let's Be Friends" Award represents:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

So, I'm supposed to name 8 blogs (and I still owe more for the Marie Antoinette award I got from Ummeaaiman)

I'll try to give it to interesting bloggers that I haven't already awarded, LOL.

Tony @ Dadnology I always seem to forget about his blog for a minute, but he visits or comments and I find myself catching up on all the stuff he's done since the last time I visited.

Tara @ TaraDharma I found this blog about a week ago, but she is an interesting person and I enjoy reading her blog.

Monique @ Blogging Monique Renae because I got a Valentine's Card from her the other day. I think she needs a hug. And I'm too lazy to go to the store and get her a card... ;-)

Rene @ DesignerFrog News because her book is finally published and some of you might have some tween daughters who might like to read it! :-)

Solomon @ It was so much easier when I only had one... because her Valentine's Day was a little disappointing. :-(

The Sewing Mom because I'm sure that having your blog account suspended is extremely aggravating (to say the least) and I'm glad that she's back. Check out her designs!

Jen @ Kids of Queers because her blog is interesting to read coming from someone who grew up in a completely different environment than I.

Max @ Clarity 2009 because this new blog of his doesn't just make me laugh, it really makes me think too. Sometimes I like that, LOL.

Now playing: Al Green - Love and Happiness via FoxyTunes

Because I have nothing...

I

have decided to share some of my favorites from "Black Folks' Little Instruction Book". :-)

9. Start the way you can hold out.

18. Don't let anyone tell you who your leaders are.

19. Never put more than ten barrettes in your daughter's hair at one time.

22. Do not give a child a name that has more than 18 letters in it.

25. No one has appointed you chief of the Black Police. You have no right to judge who is black enough and who isn't.

31. Remember, there is no such thing as "good" hair. If it is yours, it's good.

33. Do not add ed to words that already end in ed.

43. See Roots.

51. Don't be ashamed to admit that you like chitlins.

61. No matter how little Vaseline you put on your legs, they still look like patent leather.

62. Love your lips.

64. CP Time is not an acceptable excuse for lateness. Be prompt.

72. Don't let your fear of racism keep you from following your dreams.

73. When times get tough, rejoice in the knowledge that you are one in a long line of proud, courageous people who have a history of surviving.

75. Specific and Pacific are not the same thing.

77. Never conversate.

87. Your kids will have a number of friends throughout their lives but only one mother and father. Have the courage to be a parent.

90. There may be times in your life when you need more help than your friends and family can provide. Love yourself and see a therapist.

93. Learn how and when to back down in an argument.

96. Take the time to spend time alone.

97. Measure your success only by what you want out of life, not by what other people tell you you should have.

98. Always tell the truth. Few things are more discouraging than realizing you have just lied on your lie.

100. Don't wait for opportunities, make them.

There are 350 "lessons" in this book, but I stopped at 100. Of course, they aren't all only applicable to black people, but some of these things are cultural and black people need to be reminded of them once in a while. :-)

Note to self: Check the alarm clock BEFORE

P

laying a practical joke on Evan.

I've been sleeping ALL DAY since I got my new anti depressant and being awake all night. Not fun. Especially since the AD is supposed to make me sleepy.

I know that my body reacts the opposite to what the side effects are supposed to be, but I always try to take any medicine according to the supposed side effects.

So I took the AD at night since it was supposed to make me sleepy.

Makes sense, right? No. Because it kept me sleepy all day.

Whatever.

Yesterday I decided to start changing the time when I take the AD and eventually end up taking it in the morning and hopefully be awake ALL DAY and not be able to stay awake at night like a normal person. So I took it at 4 pm. I told Evan that if he saw me sleeping, not to let me sleep more than an hour.

I took a nap and woke up on my own after an hour with an enormous headache. That didn't matter. At least it was only 6pm.

Later on that evening, I decided to lace up Evan's steel toed boots the wrong way. With the bow at the toe of the shoe, get it? He'd be sleepyish and wonder how the eff his shoes got laced up the wrong way. Ha Ha.

So I fell asleep while watching Craig Ferguson (I've noticed that I can't get to sleep these days without that Scottish accent.)

Next thing I know, I see the sun shining through my window. I just lay there waiting for the alarm clock to go off.

That's when I remembered that I'm not supposed to see the sun if Evan is still asleep. It was 6:15. He sets his alarm for 5:45 so that he can start watching whatever recorded after he went to bed or Angel if nothing has recorded.

So I get him up and tell him to hurry.

Evan - What time is it?
Me - Six fifteen.
Evan - Well why do I have to hurry? I still have 45 minutes.
Me - Just do it.

6:30
Me - Have you brushed your teeth?
Evan - No, but I will.
Me - Hurry!
Evan - Why?
Me - Because I said so.

6:45
Me - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Evan - Why are you rushing me?
Me - Because I played a practical joke on you.
Evan - Why do I have to hurry because you -
Me - HURRY UP!

So he comes downstairs with his Nerf gun loaded and starts poking at his backpack and his jacket & whatnot.

Me - OMG. Just get dressed.
Evan - I'll shoot you if something jumps out at me.
Me - *sigh* just put your socks and shoes on.

So he puts on his socks and picks up his shoe

Evan - *deadpan* Very funny.
Me - HA ha???
Evan - *handing me the shoe* Fix it.
Me - FINE!
Evan - I really wish you hadn't done that, I had them laced a certain way.
Me - I looked at the shoe before I changed it. I'm not stoopit, Pris.

So I laced his boots back up the way he likes. He told me that I suck before he left.

Now I know he'll have a joyous day at school.

:-)

Television Show Roundup - 2/14/09

F

ollowing are reviews of some of the new shows I've watched the past few days. (Click to enlarge photos)

The Girls of Hedsor Hall

Basically they took The Bad Girls Club and moved it to England. The only difference is that there are some "unfortunate looking" women there to try to teach the idiot girls how to be ladies, pearl necklaces and former rehabber & Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner.

Don't waste your time.

T.I.'s Road to Redemption

In case you didn't know, T.I. is a rapper (very successful rapper, BTW) who was arrested last year because he's a felon and he had a whole lot of weapons on him/in his car. So he had the choice between 30 years in prison or completing 1000 hours of community service in one year & getting 366 days in prison.

He chose to do the community service, LOL.

I really didn't know anything about T.I. except he is one fine ass muthashutyomouth. In the first episode we found out why he had all those weapons. It definitely put a different spin on the story for me.

So now, in addition to his community service, he's decided to intervene in the lives of 7 at risk teens and try to stop them from going down the wrong path. He takes one "Hustler" and puts him in jail while he goes to get lunch & drive around (HA! LMFAO) and then he takes the same dude to a morgue so that he can see the other option to a life of crime (it's either jail or death, ya know).

We see T.I.'s 6 children & his baby momma. We see his mother and his friends.

It was very interesting and great to see T.I. doing something positive for young men like himself, who grew up feeling like hustling was the only way that they could help take care of their families.

This is a definite Must Watch even if it's just to see T.I.'s pretty face. It's not going to make me a fan of his music, but I will hope that he doesn't get raped in prison.... :-)

Dollhouse
Starring Eliza Dushku. It's good to see her back on a TV series. I always liked her in Buffy and I have watched Tru Calling since it's been in syndication.

Anyway, the show is about Echo (Dushku) who apparently does something bad and her only option is to serve some "agency" for 5 years after which she gets her life back with a clean slate.

The Dollhouse is an agency that fulfills people's needs or desires. The first time we see Echo, she's racing some dude on a motorcycle and she loses (on purpose?). Then they go dancing at a club and before her carriage turns into a pumpkin (I swear to God I said to Evan "I guess her carriage is about to turn into a pumpkin now" and then the Dude said the same thing, LOL.) she goes back to the dollhouse for her "treatment".

The treatment wipes out all of her memories. She's basically a living doll until some man's daughter gets kidnapped and she is given the personality of a hostage negotiator? Whatever, a Kidnap Recovery Agent. I just made that up. I don't know what they call her.

I liked the show. Apparently it got worse ratings than Terminator, but I hope it stays on for a while. It's kind of like Alias with Echo taking on different personas as needed, except she doesn't remember what she did.

If Terminator can last for a season (or is it 2 now?) then Dollhouse should be able to make it too. What other competition is there on Friday nights? Watch it!

Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory

If you used to watch Rob & Big on MTV, you'll want to watch this too. After Big Black had his baby and moved on, Rob decided to open a Fantasy Factory.

It's basically a big warehouse tricked out with skateboard ramps & rails, a big pit of foam squares to land in, and basketball hoops all over the place. It's so big that he can drive & park his T-rex around in it.


There really is no explanation or summary for this show. You just have to watch it. Rob Dyrdek is a big kid in a semi-grown man's body. He's crazy in a good/funny way and you never know what he'll do next. Love it. I just miss Big. :-(

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Movie Review

H

ere's a review of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)

Starring: Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner
Director: Victor Fleming
Genre: Drama Horror Sci-Fi
Plot: from IMDb "Dr. Jekyll allows his dark side to run wild when he drinks a potion that turns him into the evil Mr. Hyde."
Should you see it? Um...sure?
Rating (out of 5 hearts): ♥♥♥
My Comments: I watched it because I always end up watching Jekyll & Hyde movies. I also watched it because the only Spencer Tracy movie I remember is "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner".

It starts out with Dr. Jekyll trying to convince his colleagues that he can treat an "insane" man and persuading people that evil can be cured. He's engaged to Lana Turner. She really doesn't have a big part in the movie. It gets interesting when Beatrix (Turner) is out of town with her father & Dr. Jekyll takes a potion he's made and turns into Hyde.

Hyde goes to a local speakeasy (?) and sets his sights on Ivy (Bergman). Everyone is instantly afraid of Hyde. He just looks evil/insane.

Hyde gives Ivy a bunch of money and then takes her to her apartment and proceeds to torture and terrorize her for weeks. Ivy is afraid to leave Hyde because she believes that he will find her and kill her.

It took me a while to see the difference between Jekyll and Hyde physically, LOL. I'm not that familiar with how Spencer Tracy is supposed to look. It wasn't until they showed the metamorphosis from one character to another that I "believed" that people could see the two personalities and not think that they were the same man.

I guess he did a good job? I don't know. I suppose he did because I was fascinated enough by how crazy Tracy's Hyde was to keep watching.

I don't know. Watch it if you're a Hyde junkie like me, I guess.

Here's the scene when Hyde first sees Ivy

o here are my answers.

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up into your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today.


2. I want to know how much it costs. This is not to judge, because I am honestly telling you I was ready to put down some cash; I just got lucky! This is for entertainment purposed only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear about it!
Probably $12.96. I got it from Wal-mart. I am NOT one of those women who lust after purses or is willing to put down major money on a "trendy" purse that will be "out of style" in 6 months.

The only reason I get a new purse is when the straps on my current one break off. Furreal. I think my last purse was $9 and I had it for a few years.

3. Tag some chicks and link back to this post so people know why the heck you are showing everyone your bag.

The only person I know who cares about purses that much has a private blog, LOL. But I'll tag:
1.Carol
2.Cardiogirl
3.Shae
4.Monique

BTW, this is the face I make when someone tags me with a meme.

It's not a happy face.

I only did this because when I bought my cheap purse, I posted a picture of it at one of my favorite forums with all the purse whore women and said "I know all you bitches are jealous of my awesome new $12 purse!" so I already had the picture, LOL.

The rest of yesterday

S

o, at about 2pm I decided to get off of the computer because it had started raining and mop buckets and crap were flying past my door.

Then my cousin knocked on my door and told me that she had just picked her son up from school and she would go back to get Evan if I wanted her to.

She said there were 50 or so parents there picking up their kids because the effing superintendent didn't close school. EVERY OTHER COUNTY IN THE TRI STATE AREA CLOSED FOR THE TORNADO WATCH, BUT NOT OUR COUNTY??? Are they waiting for a tornado to hit the fucking school before they close???

This is the same jackass superintendent who didn't call off school the last time it snowed and iced all over the mountain areas. Wait. He did. But he didn't tell the radio or TV stations. The buses just never came...

So anyway, my cousin went to go get Evan.

It was drizzling slightly when she left, it was just really windy.

She said as soon as she and Evan walked out of the school, it started pouring.

She looked like she had jumped into a pool with all of her clothes on, LOL.

The best part was when, as she was telling me that she wanted hazard pay & emotional damage for messing up her hair, the sun came out!

HA!

That was nice of her to go pick him up.

At about 4:30, I gave up trying to stay awake. I set my alarm for 6pm so that I wouldn't sleep too long.

4:45 MD knocks on the door just to make sure we know what day tomorrow is.

Nevermind the fact that I SPOKE TO HER AT 10 THAT SAME MORNING. She said that she felt safe coming over now that I'm on my "Happy Pills" again, LOL. We discussed all the shows we watch in common blah blah, then I decided that since I was awake, I might as well go get her B.day card because I probably won't feel like it tomorrow.

So Evan and I went to Wal-mart. The power went out about 4 times. It wasn't raining, it was just all the freaking wind!

So yeah, today is MD's XX birthday. She claims to be 39+. I'm 36... Her oldest child is 45. That's an interesting trick, huh? But she only looks like she's in her 40s to me. My grandmother is 80something and she looks like a lot of people in their sixties. I think it's all the bologna she eats...

Sike!

I hope I hold up that well when I'm as old as Methuselah. :-)

Video...

I

am trying not to spend all day in a drugged out sleep. I'd like to get to sleep before 3 am. So I made some videos.

I'm not dressed. No makeup. No hair. Double chin in full view.

Angelika RAW.

Bite me.

Steampunk Rings Giveaway

I

love Steam Powered Rings. I love the way the rings look and I love the originality. It would be nice if I could buy one or 111, but they are above my price range, unfortunately.

Now they're having a giveaway!!!!!!!!

All you have to do is sign up for the newsletter.

If, like me, you want to increase your chances of winning, pick your favorite and/or display the Entrecard on your blog.

I can't decide between the Rutilated Quartz or the Purple Swarovski.





I prefer silver jewelry to gold or another metal, but the purple stands out so much! Either way, I'm pretty sure that no one else that I know IRL would have a ring like that! :-)

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this giveway!
