Evan texts me from the playground

I

can open the door and see him.

He can walk up here in 30 seconds and tell me whatever it is.

I'm going to have to repossess his phone.

I got my Theraflu!

H

ere are a couple of videos.

I don't care that my hair looks effed up. I'm sick. Bite me.

I have to go out today

B

ecause this morning, after Evan left for school, I used a sample of Theraflu that I'd gotten. (I am the Sample Queen, you know).

Instead of just sneezing and having my stuffed nostril running (like what happened when I just took allergy pills), my sinuses are clear and I have a productive cough.

If you need details on what that means, ask me in the comments, LOL.

I don't want to gross anyone out.

So I'm going to Wal-Mart to get some more Theraflu. It tastes nasty, but I feel much better 5 hours later.

So I'm going to drug myself to death with Theraflu.

No, I don't have a fever. My temperature is usually 97.6 and it has been 97.7. I'm not even normal yet, LOL.

Off to Wal-Mart I go.

Ta!

OMLY

I

s my new phrase, because I say OMG more than a 12 year old girl.

It means Oh My Lord, Y'all. (The "y'all" is said the same way Britney Spears says it.)

Anyway,

My nose is simultaneously stuffed and running.

The Boy was coughing this morning.

I think we have a combination of allergies and the common cold.

So much for washing the shit out of our hands...

And, just so you know, if you google images of sick thinking "I have a cold, I want a picture that expresses that." you will get more interpretations of "sick" than you bargained for.

You're welcome.

I'd rather have a Bully Beatdown than a conversation...

You have the opportunity to talk 5 minutes worth of sense into a wayward celebrity. Who do you choose?

*Who's the celeb?
Britney Spears
Chris Brown
Paris Hilton
Tom Cruise
Amy Winehouse
other

None of the above.



I'm sure many people have tried to talk some sense into those people, and they haven't listened yet.



I would like to get a pro MMA fighter to talk 5 minutes worth of "Beatdown" to Chris Brown.

Swine Flu

S

o I told Evan last night that before he goes to school, I want him to take Vitamin C and Zinc. To wash his hands if he touches anyone/anything and try to stay away from sick people.

Him - Why this random mention about vitamins?
Me - Because 80 people in Mexico have died from this new flu and people in America and Canada have gotten it. America declared a state of emergency (or something) over the flu.
Him - Do I have to go to school?

...

Me - I'm sure they'll cancel school if anyone close to our area gets sick, but until then, you'll be going to school.

Schools are petri dishes. If he gets sick, he'll bring it home to me.

Anyway, Saturday nightmorning (3 to 5 am) after watching "Sphere", I had a dream that Evan and I had lice the size of tic-tacs. Totally illogical, but that's what dreams are.

Evan had a dream that he had a blonde baby brother who didn't talk or cry, just smiled.

Me - That will never happen.

That is all.

Cornbread Festival 2009

Click the banner to go to the National Cornbread Festival Website.

T

hursday morning, Mommy Dearest came to my house.

MD - Listen...

No good conversation with her ever starts with "Listen".

She - Listen, we need to take Evan to the Cornbread Festival
Me - I ---
She - I don't want to go either. My ankle is hurting and my eyes and my chest.
Me - I've been vomiting and sweating since yesterday!
She - We didn't go last year
Me - He probably doesn't even know anything about it
She - Those kids at school are talking about it, and tonight is buddy night so 2 people ride for the price of one.
Me - JKLF*)(#*$JKLFJS*)($ER
She - If it is raining by 5, we won't go
Me - So I'll pray for rain.

Luckily, it was raining on South Pittsburg by 5 pm, so we didn't have to go.

Friday Evan comes home and says:

E - Guess what today is.
Me - Friday
E - Guess what today and tomorrow and Sunday is
Me - The weekend.
E - The Cornbread Festival
Me - Oh.

So my mother calls me @ 4pm and says we're going at 6 pm.

...

*sigh*

Whatever.

We went. I rode the Ferris Wheel. Evan rode different stuff. I got my Funnel Cake ($5!!!!), MD & Evan shared a Chicken on a Stick & a Funnel Cake and we left. Here are the pictures I took.


Evan is in that Fireball Ride in the very back. Of course, I don't remember which is front or back, but I tried to take a picture of him. Look for a red shirt, LOL.


I took this picture at the top of the Ferris Wheel.



This one too. :-)



This is the only good reason to go to the Cornbread Festival when I don't even eat cornbread! Funnel Cake. Yummy.



That is all. Now I don't have to go to a crowded effing place with rocks on the ground making it hard to get my walker over them (parents were carrying their strollers) for another freaking year!

High Five Friday - 4/24/09

H

ere are this week's High Fives in no particular order.

Beeker's Words for You will say WOW every time

Escape Hatch for PMS Blogging

Comedy Plus for Divorce vs Murder

Intelligence is a curse for Eating Upencils

Posh Totty for Who's the boss?

The Snarky View for The Human Body

I do things... for I married a robot so you don't have to

Funny Blog for Most Naughtiest Picture

And finally, the blog Bent Objects. I've said it before, I admire people with that kind of creativity. I just can't imagine looking at a matchbook and deciding to make it into a bug just by bending it a little...

Well, that's not happening to me...

A

s I was checking Twitter, I noticed that Kathy from the Junk Drawer had tweeted about Entrecard scamming members.

So I went to check out the article.

The author said (among other things) that he is no longer receiving the 25 credits for blog posts every 3 days.


As you can see, I am. Surely I'm not the only one.

The author also said that you don't get credits for dropping on blogs with paid advertisements.


That is possible, but today I dropped, according to EC, 251 cards. I know there were some blanked out cards on some of the blogs that I visited. One of the Entrecard Moderators (or whatever) said that the ads were probably black from my Adblock plugin.


I KNOW I didn't drop 300 cards today (yesterday), I dropped on the cards in my inbox twice (which is about 50 cards each time) and then I dropped on my favorite EC Blogs.

Then I got credit for every time a card was dropped on me.


So...what am I not getting credit for?

If the problem is paid ads, reject them. I have rejected about 50 of them, and I haven't received any penalties or experienced any problems. If you want to get credit for drops on your blog, don't accept paid ads.

I'm not saying that you don't get credit for dropping on blogs with paid ads, but since I didn't actually count the blogs on which I dropped, I have no idea.

People are dropping out of Entrecard like it's a crack house about to be raided by the Popo.

Fine, that's your prerogative.

But don't write articles falsely accusing them of doing something that they clearly are not doing.

Thank you Relax Max!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y

aaaaaaaaaaaay!

Guess what I got in the mail today?

You're a pervert, no.

I got my Steampunk Ring that Relax Max won and gave to me!!!!!!!!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!



It's silver with a purple crystal. I love it! Luckily, I painted my nails last night so I could take pictures with my sucky webcam.

Isn't it purty?!?!?



You should definitely go to the CatherinetteRings Etsy shop so you can get a better view than I can give you. The picture there is of a blue stone, but my ring looks the same other than that.

Anyway, here are the rest of the pictures I took. :-)



When I finish paying MD back for my Root Canal & stuff, I'm going to get some more! You should go get some too! This particular ring was only $45 (if you had to pay, LMAO) and I'm sure no one else in my town has a ring like it!

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

UPDATE: Ok, here's a better picture from my camera phone.

Thanks, Cardiogirl!

N

o feet in this post, I promise. :-)

*sigh*

Now that I said that, I really want to post some feet here...

Anyway, while I was reading your blog today I saw your related posts widget from LinkedWithin and I liked it better than the one I installed days ago, so now I have one that shows pictures of related posts!

Maybe my bounce rate will go down.

We shall see!

Nothing important to say

F

irst, I've been finding a lot of funny and/or interesting post for this week's High Fives list. I don't usually find so many in one day.

----------------
Now playing: Fantasia - Baby Makin' Hips

Maybe I'm just in a good mood?

I fell asleep so early last night that I didn't see Real Housewives of NY or Deadliest Catch or anything. I think I fell asleep during Fringe. I'm usually lucky if I get to sleep before Craig Ferguson comes on.

Of course, I spent all of today asleep, after waking up at 5 am.

I did watch RHoNY today, though.

Kelly was already my least favorite after she told Bethenny that she was "down here" while she (Kelly) was "up here". Last night she showed up 2 hours late for her own party??? But the Duchess or Countess or whatever the eff she is, is just appearing more and more ridiculous to me. First she tells some chubby girl at the Boys & Girls Club (or whatever) that she has plenty of time to lose weight if she wants to be a model. Then she goes OFF on Ramona for saying that her husband is twice her age. That's not even the bad part. She kept leaving the room and coming back to tell her off some more. This from the woman writing a book on "class".

...

----------------
Now playing: Will Smith - Switch

Anyway, Stephen Fry is my favorite celebrity Twitterer. He Tweets every day. He even does some audio Tweets. They're called "Boos" I think? He always sounds so happy. Apparently, he even answers the people who respond to his Tweets. But I luff him, so he can do no wrong. :-)

I knew, from reading his blog, that he was quite Tech Savvy, but I think he's the only celebrity I've seen that actually seems to "connect" with his fans.

In case you were wondering, I am also following Sherri Shepherd (who tweets A LOT), Borat, Tina Fey, Ellen Degeneres, Tyler Perry, Kathy Griffin and Katt Williams. Tina is always funny. I don't think I've heard anything from Tyler Perry, which is shocking since he e-mails 12 page e-mails semi-regularly. Katt is the same on Twitter as he is in his act. All of his Tweets contain "ni&&a" or "playa", LOL.

----------------
Now playing: Adele - Chasing Pavements

Stupid Blog Quizzes - 4/19/09

You Are Dusk

You are a naturally idealistic and creative person. You look forward to nights where everything is possible. You spend most of your energy on play. Work is okay, but the true you emerges after the work day is done. You're an offbeat type that doesn't like rules or schedules. Life's too short to waste at a desk in a cube. Whether you spend your night socializing or working on side projects, you like that your time is yours.

Are You Dusk or Dawn?

Your Soap Opera Name is Felicia Celeste Quartermaine

The Second

What's Your Soap Opera Name?

----------------
Now playing: Stray Cats - Crazy Little Thing Called Love

You Want to Impress Strangers

You want strangers to think you're attractive. You want to be seen as gorgeous and sexy. You want your friends and family members to think you're smart. You like been seen as insightful and wise. You are at your most playful when you are around family and friends. You are more serious around people you don't know well. You are reserved and distant with strangers. You don't let people you don't know well in. You don't become close to many people. You only let people you've gotten to know very well in.

Who Do You Want to Impress?

Now that was an interesting quiz! Very insightful.

----------------
Now playing: Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters

Your Supervillain Name is Black Skull

Muhahahaha!

What's Your Supervillain Name?

You Are a Lynx

You are a quiet observer of the world around you. Your wisdom comes from listening carefully. You've always been extra sensitive and aware. And it's made it difficult for you to fit in. You see past people's outward personas. You are able to penetrate a stranger's soul. What you've learned about people is both beautiful and ugly. And you keep these secrets to yourself.

What Big Cat Are You?

O-kkkkkkkkkk.
----------------
Now playing: J Geils Band - Freeze Frame

You Are Ceramics

You are open to the world and it's possibilities. You are able to start something without knowing how it will end. You trust your intuition above everything else. Going with your gut often works out. You believe that every day objects can and should be art. The best art allows ordinary life to be more stylish and beautiful.

What Type of Art Are You?

You Think Concretely

Your brain works best when you are able to see or visualize what you're thinking about. You have an both an eye for detail and for the big picture. You study things carefully. You are in tune with all of your senses, and you think better with a clean workspace. You are open to all sorts of input. You are a free thinker who lives in the now.

How Do You Think?

I didn't even know how to answer these questions...
----------------
Now playing: Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls

There's a Chance You Could Be Violent

Overall, you're a pretty chill person - and you have a good handle on your emotions. Sometimes your anger gets the best of you, and end up regretting how you act. Try to curb your temper more often. It only has to get out of control once to do some damage.

Could You Be Violent?

Um, not really. Even when I'm pissed off, I'm usually in control of what I'm saying or doing. I think a lot of stuff, I just don't say it all. When I do say it, I don't remember regretting it. Unless I regretted not having said it sooner.

There's a lump on my head

T

he circumference is about the size of a quarter. It's not that high, I don't think. It just HURTS.

I noticed it last night when I tried to turn on my side to go to sleep. It hurt like hell. It's hurting now.

I haven't fallen. I haven't been hit in the head. If I was Tracey a hypochondriac, I'd think I have cancer.

Whatever.

I think I need one of those hemorrhoid pillows for my head. Just the part with the lump. It's very hard to fall asleep when I'm used to sleeping on one side and I can't. :-(

Now playing: The Knux - Bang Bang

Did I tell you about the caterpillars that are attracted to MY back door and no one else's?



I counted 13 at the highest yesterday. I haven't checked yet.

Ok, I don't see any. They must have succeeded in climbing all the way up to cocoon themselves.

I remember once I worked at a building that had a ladybug invasion, but only on one side.

I'm off my anti-depressant

B

ecause the new one, the one that worked so well the first time I tried it, wasn't working this time.

And it was $65/month WITH INSURANCE.

I'd have to go back to the Doctor to get a switch back to my old AD with a higher level.

And I just paid $180 for a new starter for my effing hooptie and I haven't even paid for the labor yet.

Basically, I can't afford to go to the doctor this month.

I was already kind of weepy on the damned anti-depressant, but since I stopped taking it at the end of last month, it's much worse.

I'm on the verge of tears at all times.

I can afford the xanax. But that's not an anti-depressant. It just helps me sleep.

So WTF?

I hate Medicare.

Why doesn't Obama stop worrying about fucking high speed trains and get universal health care so that people like me don't have to spend months (or years) sobbing all the goddamned time and get our effing meds?

I don't give a FUCK about a high speed train.

I don't give a SHIT about bailing out AIG and giving money to banks that aren't loaning the money anyway.

I need my anti depressant.

*sigh*

Now playing: Lady Gaga feat. Akon - Just Dance

I was listening to music and I started hearing a baby cooing and another kid singing. I thought it was coming from the TV, so I unplugged my microphone.

I still heard the stuff, and I don't know where it was coming from.

Here's a video, but the talking & cooing stopped right before the webcam started recording.

3:10 to Yuma Quick Review

Starring: Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Ben Foster
Director: James Mangold
Genre: Drama Action Crime Western
Plot from IMDb: A small-time rancher agrees to hold a captured outlaw who's awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher.
Rating (out of 5 hearts): &hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts
Should you see it? Absolutely!
My Comments: If you haven't seen this movie yet, go buy it. I'll admit to being a Russell Crowe fan, so I'll watch almost anything he's in. I watch Christian Bale because after seeing The Machinist, I watch whatever he's in because I think he's either very dedicated or insane. Maybe I'm trying to figure out which?

The movie starts with Dan Evans (Bale) having his barn burned down because he's behind on the payments for his land and the owner of the land wants to sell that particular land to the railroad company. Then we see Ben Wade (Crowe) and his gang of bandits robbing a stagecoach.

Evans & his two sons see what happens with the stagecoach, but Wade sees them too and takes their horses so they can't get to town too quickly to report the crime. Evans ends up agreeing to accompany Wade, along with a posse of lawmen, to the 3:10 train in another town that will take Wade to Yuma Prison. He does this for $200.

Along the way, we learn that Wade is one of the worst of criminals. He's robbed 21 stagecoaches and killed hundreds of people. He's a wanted man. Evans has lost full use of his leg in "the war" (I'm assuming Civil? He said he fought for the North).

There are great gun fights, but there's a really good story here. Both characters are well developed. There are reasons why they do what they do.

When I started watching the movie, I thought I'd fall asleep. By the end, I was sitting up straight wondering how it was all going to end.

I'll be adding this to my DVD collection ASAP. :-)

I don't think I like this

I

was supposed to have added commentluv. I followed the instructions.

But...

I don't think I like it.

At least I saved my template before I changed things!

**UPDATE**: So I took off the commentluv thing because it wasn't working, IMO.

But I have added "related posts" on my post pages.

While I was doing that, the Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up" came on my iTunes (I TOLD you I liked Rick Astley) and Evan asked me if I got "Rickrolled" :-)

That is all.

Because now I have a headache.

The dude at the Liquor Store wants me...

W

hat makes me think this?

Yesterday, I went there to see if they had any cigars. He didn't, but the dude said he'd order some for me. So I ordered 3 cartons (one month's worth). In case you haven't been keeping up, I switched from cigarettes to cigars when my cigarettes went from $18/carton to $38/carton.

I went by this morning @ 11 and they weren't there yet, but he told me that he'd have them by lunch time.

So I called Mommy Dearest and asked her if she wanted to go to lunch.

We went out and had Chinese Food. I stuffed myself with General Tzo's Chicken, Crab Claws & almond cookies.

On my way out, I saw the Devil's Minivan. :-)

Now, I don't know if the actual Devil drives that van, but I've never seen a license plate that started with 666 before. Maybe she just has devilish children...

Anyway, when we were done, MD took me by the liquor store again.

Dude - Well, they're here. How many do you want?
Me - All of them.
Dude - Oh! Well, if you just give me $44 I'll let you have them.
Me - Ok!
Dude - My number here is 555-0000 and I order every Wednesday. If you just call me and let me know how many you want, I'll have them here on Thursday.
Me - Cool!

Then MD wanted some regular Kahlua (sp?) but they only had Mudslide. So he told her he'd order some regular next Wednesday.

When I got home, I saw the price on the carton.

So, if they're supposed to be sold for $1.89/pack. It should be at least $17/carton.

He basically charged me $14.30 with no tax.

That's how I know he wants me.

I'd do him too.

If he asked.

He's a silver fox.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I don't think he's the same dude who owned the store when my alcoholic neighbor was going with him. She only slept with him because he gave her free cigarettes and beer. She's since died of Cirrhosis of the Liver. She was only 27. But whatever.

If I can get laid AND get bargains on cigarettes, I'm totally down.

I just hope he doesn't have to sell out to some Indians, because if he does, NO MO BARGAIN FO ME, my friend! (Indians have bought every other gas station and liquor store in the tri-county area.)

I'm going to take a nap.

Ta!

Twilight Quick Review

Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli
Director: Catherine Hardwicke
Genre: Drama Fantasy Romance Thriller
Plot from IMDb: A teenage girl risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire
Should you see it? If you're a 12 year old girl
Rating (out of 5 hearts): NONE
My Comments: Did you ever read Wuthering Heights? It's supposedly a classic. It's basically a Harlequin Romance novel written in 1847. Crappy, in other words.

Twilight was so ridiculous. It is the Wuthering Heights of vampire movies. Normally, I love vampire movies. Not this one.

The only reason I'm not ticked off that I saw it, even though it's 122 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, is because I borrowed it for free from the library.

Don't waste your time.

It's true, I forgot all about House on Monday

E

arlier today (Tuesday) I got a comment from someone asking me what song was playing at the end of Monday's episode of House.

My reply was "Last night was a repeat so I didn't watch it. I don't know what episode you saw."

Then one of my JJHF Peeps told me she saw last nights episode and "someone died in their apartment. Cuthbert or something. Was it Kumar?"

My response was "I have no idea what you're talking about. Cutner (Kumar) is still alive so far. I know someone is supposed to die this season, though."

So I looked at my DVR recordings.

There was a new House that recorded last night and Evan and I BOTH forgot to watch it. Last week was a repeat and since so many other shows seem to be on Spring Break this week, I guess I just assumed that House was too.

Didn't even think about it, LOL.

But I have watched it now.

I'm happy for Kal Penn doing what he wants to do and working for Obama, but it sucks that Kutner's gone because I really liked him. I would have preferred that Taub left.

Anyway, I really wasn't that interested in last night's show. Compared to others this season, it was just kind of "blah".

But I did learn that Meat Loaf has a last name. It's Aday. Freaky.

That is all.

I have to go watch Fringe & whatnot. :-)

Who do I admire?

T

oday's Plinky Prompt was "Who do you admire & why?"

That question, or "Who is your hero" has never made any sense to me, because I don't look to celebrities or politicians to tell me how I need to be.

After I thought about the question, however, I remembered that I always admire people with disabilities who don't have the attitude "My life is over now. My disease/disability defines me."

Michael J. Fox is an example of that. He has Parkinson's (I think that's the one?) and he's still doing his thing. He has a new book that just came out called Always Looking Up.

Not only is he dealing with his disease, but he is doing everything he can to find a cure for himself and others. Like Christopher Reeve did and Montel Williams does.

I admire that.

I also admire all the mothers with more than one child that do their very best to raise their kids. They recognize that each of their children has a different personality and they respect and enjoy that. They do things than would have me pulling out my hair.

Betty Hayes (with one of her 10 [ten] children) is an example. When I watch the show Table for 12, I can tell that Betty and Eric love each other and every single one of their children. They do things with their children and for their children.

Rebecca, one of their 4 year old sextuplets, has Cerebral Palsy. They take her to a ranch with therapy horses so that she can get some core strength and maybe, eventually learn to sit up by herself.

Betty has a child who may never be able to say "I love you, Mommy". As a mother, I know how much it means the first time your child says that and every time your child says that.

We do so much for our kids that never seems to get recognized or appreciated, but we do it because we love them.

That's why I admire the women who can do a good job raising more than one child. More than one "normal" child. I cannot begin to imagine doing it with a child who has disabilities so severe that she may never speak, or learn to feed herself, or get a job, nodamene?

I admire that more than I can say.

Obviously, I'm not saying that mothers with one child don't deserve admiration, or that single mothers don't deserve recognition because I am a single mother with a one child. It's hard. It's the hardest thing I've ever done.

But when I look at what other people have to deal with compared to what I have to deal with... I feel like I should count my blessings and thank God that I have the life that I have.

My particular disability (Multiple Sclerosis) sucks ass. But it has made it possible for me to be able to stay at home and raise my son while paying my bills. My son is smart, handsome, funny and usually a joy. I feel like I've lucked out. :-)

Stuff - 4/6/09

U

m, stuff happens. I forget to blog about it. So here's what's been happening over the weekend.

Evan pulled a radio off the bathroom shelf (about 6 feet up) onto his face. Accidentally. He was trying to kill a gnat. He's fine. But the noise was loud. It's probably broken (the radio) because at least one of the speakers is not connected to the radio. It's a "boom box". I don't know if it fell in the toilet or what.

I finished Audition. It took almost 2 weeks. I mean, it was good. And probably a well needed former current events/history lesson, but it was so much WORK. Now I'm reading "Cross Country" by James Patterson & loving it.

My back hurts. I'm about to take some pain pills and lay on the heating pad.

There's a real live town called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. It's in Wales. In England. Can you believe that ish? I found out from Daddy Papersurfer's tweet. I thought he was joking.

----------------
Now playing: Janet Jackson - So Much Betta

Watch the trailer for Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen). I think I'll like it more than Borat. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

Have you ever heard of Bully Beatdown? It's on MTV. A mixed martial artist gets other MMA fighters to beat up bullies for $10,000. If they make it 2 rounds without quitting, passing out, or having the referee stop the fight. It's funny.

I stopped recording Celebrity Apprentice when I realized that it was going to be 2 hours every single episode. So I missed what Dennis Rodman did/said. Is he still there?

I watched The Mighty Boosh on AdultSwim yesterday. I think I'll watch it again next Sunday. It's a British show.

It's odd. But just odd enough to keep me interested, LOL.

I can't remember what else.

*sigh*

Now playing: Outkast - Morris Brown

Feedburner found my readers?

I

guess.

Because now I have 118 subscribers.

Cool.

I don't think I've had that many before.

Maybe they gave me someone else's subscribers...;-)

I just got on and I have 35.



So...did 80 people suddenly decide that they don't like my blog?

I didn't think so.

It's happening all over the web.

What I don't know is if people are going to have to resubscribe or if feedburner will fix itself...

It's almost 4 am, and I'm still awake.

:-(

*sigh*

This is one of the few times I've watched ALL the shows that my DVR recorded on the same night that they were recorded. I've even watched some shows that I would not have otherwise watched.

I saw "The Exterminators" for the first time. There were 3 episodes in a row. It's about a family that has an extermination business in Louisiana. The main guy, Billy, is an animal lover so he'd rather trap than kill. He works there along with his mom, dad, wife, brother and sometimes his brother's ex-wife that everyone in the family hates.

The thing that made me decide to record the series was when Billy had to get rid of a 7 foot beehive and instead of the usual white bee keeper suit, he pulls out black leather, a black feather boa and a black skull Halloween mask.

It's like a rock star on a reality show & a soap opera (with Billy's ex-SIL) rolled into one. Check it out!

What else did I watch?

I don't even remember.

God.

I had to go to Wal-mart today and it seems like every child under 5 was in there screaming.

I should know better than to go to ANY store on the first of the month, because that's when all the SS and Disability checks come, so everyone shops on those days.

I had a headache when I went there, but by the time I left I just wanted to cry. Or vomit. Or both.

I'm tired of this shit. All week I've been nauseous. Like "I can barely eat sick to my stomach" and I don't know why. I finally took a phenergan tonight to help with the nausea, which usually knocks me out. No such luck tonight.

The good news is that if I stay sick like this for the rest of the month, I should be able to get back into my "skinny jeans" which are NOT skinny. Just skinny for me, LOL.

I wish I could throw up, though. I usually feel better after I throw up.

*cries*

I'm going to try and finish Audition tonight. I'm up to the George W. years... The writing doesn't look small, but it's taking me a long ass time to get through this book even though I read at least 50 pages a day. I would have been done with a Harry Potter book last week and this book has about 200 fewer pages than the average HP novel.

I also got a novel by Kathy Reichs (?) the one on whom the show "Bones" is based. That writing is extremely small. I read a few chapters.

!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe that's what gave me the damed headache that I've had forever in the first place!!

My eyes are getting old.

I'm out!

Blog Awards!

T

hank you to Pinklady for these blog awards! I asked if this was an April Fool's joke, but I don't think she'd do that type of thing. :-)









I got all these awards because, together with the Generosity Award, Bing (That's what I'll call her today because she always signs her comments with Bing) was in a generous mood. :-)

So, along with the award, I will be showing EC cards or a blog image of the recipients in my sidebar for a month or until I realize it's been six months with free advertising on my blog. ;-)
