Oh no
I missed HAPPY HUMP DAY! Hahaha, actually I've been so busy the last few days it's not even funny. Thank god we've got a week or more to move all our stuff out. I haven't packed a single thing yet this week.
Remember in another post I had talked about my brother in law's surgery? Well he's not allowed to drive yet, and not supposed to pick up anything heavy or really lift his arms above his head. So I've been driving him around everywhere he's gotta go, and helping to move small things over to their new house. Little by little things are getting done.
We got the one room emptied out at the place they're giving us, so today I can start taking some boxes down there so I have room to do more stuff around here.
I mean this place isn't exactly tiny, but it's too small for 2 people and 3 kitties...the layout is completely wrong so I've got boxes stacked in weird spaces which takes up even more room. Also the boxes stacked up around the kitchen table gives the kitties spots to hide behind and ambush each other...the devilish lil critters!
Now.. Tim Hortons has the Roll up the Rim to Win thing going on. When I was still living in Canada I never won anything more than a damned donut or cookie..I WANT A FREE COFFEE MOFO!!! I figured, I spent half my paychecks on their damned coffee..the least I want is a free coffee hahaha. But down here...oh my!!! In the last three weeks I've won not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR free coffee's! How's that for happiness? Yes I'm easy to please hahah! Sadly though, I had kinda gotten out of my Tim hortons addiction, but now it seems I'm finding a reason to get there at least once a week or more...hmm yup..highly addictive goodness!
Woke up in an extremely good mood..gettin my first coffee into me now...I'm happy as a pig in shit, and nearly ready to start my day!
Welcome
Say hello to my new renter Scooter McGavin's 9th Green! Click on over and check his spot out. He says it's the one stop place for music, tv, sports, politics, and anything else he deems worthy. It really is worth your time to go check him out! Not to mention he's a fellow Ohioan (did i say that right?)
So click...
CLICK NOW! It'll be worth it, I swear!
Long rambling post, may not make sense to you..haha
I was sitting for a while thinking about the people and experiences that have helped shape who I am, and who have given me different perspectives on life.
What/who would I be now if they hadn't come into my life when they did? The small circle of friends I've had since I was 15 really had a big role in giving me my life back, whether they know it or not.
They're still my good friends, I just live 350 miles away from them. I miss the bitchfest rants we'd have, the stupid drunken moments that we're glad we remember, yet are ashamed of strangers knowing, I miss the ability to completely be my dorky self and have them pretty much blowing up with laughter..ah hell I just miss them. Hope I can see them soon. I crave to be around my soul sisters..because to me that is what they are.
I also wonder what I'd be like if my parents had pushed me harder to do better in school, if they hadn't spoiled me and let me get away with so much, if they had encouraged me to take risks.
I'll admit it. I am a complete, and total HUGE chicken shit. I'm afraid to do something that may make someone angry with me. I'm afraid to do or say something so that I won't appear stupid. I'm afraid to take chances because I'm afraid of a bad outcome. Hell I'm afraid of life being hard. I can hardly walk into stores alone sometimes because of the fear of people looking and thinking to themselves "Oh here comes that fugly fat chick to buy food"
Well
SHIT! I finally realized that I am only making it harder on myself to live in fear of these things. It makes me think of the things that I COULD right now be accomplishing, or have already accomplished, except for I'm constantly driving myself crazy with these What if thoughts gone bad!
- I could have already graduated high school when I should have (like 6 years ago).
- I could have stuck with eating healthy and regular gym attendance, I could even be doing that now.
- I could keep on top of housework in half the time it takes me once i let it build up.
Yeah, so now after typing all that I'm feeling like a complete loser. But I'm glad to have gotten it off my chest..even if it is only onto a computer screen.
My thoughts tend to veer in this direction when I'm thinking about life. I just wonder how much better (or worse) my life could be if I had just swallowed back the fear and took a chance.
In the last couple years I've slowly begun to realize that life is what I make of it. Yeah, cheesy cliche but I feel that it's so true.
Really..5 years ago if you had told me I was going to move to a different country, and marry the man that I had then hated, and then told me I'd be happy? I'd have thought you were nuts and told ya to go fuck yourself.
Even 6 months ago..if you had told me that in 6 months time I would actually feel content in my relationship? I'd have still thought you were nuts and told ya the same thing.
Now? 6 months later? I can honestly say I'm happy where I am. I'm not afraid of being so far away from everyone and everything I've known my whole life.
I TOOK A CHANCE, for the first time in my life..I took a chance, and no matter how hard this first year was, how many fights we had, how much sadness I felt daily, how often I had planned in my mind of just sneaking off back home without a note to my husband. I stuck with it! And I am actually happier because of it. Our respect for each other was earned, and I am glad to say that I do in fact enjoy the companionship I have with him
Oh gosh..what a post..Went from pondering, to self hating, to cheesy n lovey all in one. Just figured that I'd write something true while I was thinking of it, instead of the usual blah blah blah that I normally post..but I feel better for getting it out of my system!
At a loss
Yikes!
So I haven't posted in a couple days..but to be honest..everytime I come here to write something my mind goes totally blank.
Not that I ever have anything super interesting to say but this is kinda like a personal diary for me that is public. And since I don't work, or have many friends in the area the stuff I write about my day to day life isn't exactly gossip worthy hahaha! But I like to write nonetheless.
I'm getting super excited about moving, even the hub is picking up on my excitement and he actually admitted that he was excited about it..WOW!
The in laws got their keys to their new house on Friday..they are not really supposed to move right in until next weekend but they are allowed to move in some of their stuff bit by bit. So in turn..once they empty out a room at the place we're moving into, we can move some of our boxes in...just so I have more room here to get stuff done.
I'm sure once we move in the kitties are gonna flip a biscuit for sure. The two older cats have been at this place for 11 years... im sure the smaller of the two is going to hide for a friggin week.
I'm sure the kitten will be just fine...it'll just be more room for him to drag his toys around and leave 'em on the floor to trip us up.
Well I guess it's time to do a lil more housework and packing...fun stuff eh...BLECH!
Where to go???
Alright..so I've mentioned that we're going on a road trip in April. Now I need help. We're just going to start out driving and just go wherever but we're hoping to make it to some of these States. Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, possibly Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and W. Virginia.
Does anyone know any really cool spots to go in any of these states? Places that would both appeal to the older (60 y/o) and younger? If we hit Florida, it'll be in the panhandle to possibly see my mother in law.
On the other hand we might even end up at the opposite side. I've got this huge fascination with going to Texas so we may end up driving out there...who knows.
I just can't wait to get on the road. Every day I'm getting more and more excited about this trip...moving seems much less stressful now that I've got something great to look forward to!
Easy Chicken Recipe
Good Chicken Recipe
Here is a chicken recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing - imagine that! When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.
BAKED STUFFED CHICKEN
6-7 lb. baking chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn
Salt/pepper to taste
______________________________
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for the popping sounds.
When the chicken's ass blows the oven door open and the chicken flies across the room, it is done.
And you thought I couldn't cook.
Hmmm
Hey I love scaring the kitties! It's just some part of my evil alter ego that serves a higher purpose HAHAHAHA! Love how they sit and glare at me for long moments afterwards.
I saw this on another woman's blog. Go see
The Cleaning Hunk . I swear I need one of these!
Also...for some reason this morning I'm just hatin' everyone and everything...grrrowl!! Maybe a nice long hot shower will help me. That and some good drugs (wanna provide? im broke) HAHAHA! Hopefully the day will get better!
I'm so excited...
and I just can't hide it!!!
YIPPEE!!!!!!! Just found out that our move is approved by the park management, so my stress has come down BIGTIME!!!!!!
Another cool thing is my mother and her best friend are coming down to visit just after Easter and we're going on a wicked cool road trip!! We're going to try to make it to most of the south eastern states within a week's period! We've been wanting to do this road trip since I was a little kid and now we're finally going to! I can't wait.
So now that we're moving for sure I'm actually motivated to get more packing done..but I had to get on here and post something...might as well post good news eh!
Good Morning
Now that I've had a good sleep, and am sufficiently full of coffee I can now begin my post.
On the last post I said I had a busy weekend. Yeah sorta I guess. The brother in law went in for surgery..that went well thankfully, though the poor guy just wants a smoke, and wants to get home.
Went to work with the hub on Saturday...ooh I folded envelopes..oh yay..well it was something like 5600 of them in 3-4 hours. In return for my help he took me out for lunch (and yes, we went to our usual haunt).
I also help my sister in law make horse treats...it's something like a side job for her, and since I can't work down here yet, I get bored sitting around here staring at the computer or tv, so I help her out with that stuff. That kept me busy for the rest of Saturday afternoon
And the biggest news of all? Our great neice was born yesterday morning YIPPEEE!!!! We went to see the proud mom n dad at the hospital last night..mom is doing well and the baby is just absolutely beautiful! Their first child was there with grandma and she is just cute as a button as well and she was extremely happy to meet her little baby sister!
So obviously you can tell I've had this silly grin plastered to my face since yesterday. I love babies, but glad I don't have my own. When I get tired of holding a baby or dealing with kids I can give 'em back hahaha!!
And here's some crazzzyyyy sheeeit for you to see...warning..some can be quite strange and/or gross! Some funny stuff too. By the way, these are all videos, so if you're on dial up you might not want to click. Enjoy!

Funny Prank call from Dildo Company - Funny as hell!
Talking Cats - You've all probably seen this, but I can't stop watching it and laughing.

Well it's that time again
No! Not that time...but time for me to pick my renter for this week. Was hard to decide, as so many people with enjoyable blogs bid..but I could only pick on. Felt bad for the rest, so I'm gonna link 'em up in this post :) Oh DO NOT forget to click the little icon to go see my renter

Other blogs I couldn't pick but enjoyed:

Had a long weekend, with lots of excitement at the end!
So glad I woke up
Now I know we all have weird dreams once in a while, and sometimes more often. The dreams I remember are usually strange dreams for sure.
So today I was sitting here looking for numbers for companies that do mobile home removal, and I'm getting super stressed because I know nothing about the size of the place...only that it's a 1969 Piece O Crap..err.. I mean Fleetwood, and no I don't know if it still has the axles or tires underneath...grrrr.
So I'm all stressed out cuz every place I call either quotes me a price over $1200, or won't tell me any price..i mean im just asking for a sort of estimate you know. Not like we're trying to perform brain surgery here.
Ok, the main point here is.. I was a bit stressed out, so I went and had a nap, and man was this dream weird. Never really got weird until shortly before I woke up I guess. Here's the dream.
My mom, her best friend, and I went on a little road trip to Louisville, KY, then onto Nashville, TN..so we're sitting in the room, and moms best friend (we'll just call her #2 from now on) is bored, as am I. We walk out of the hotel and start strolling around the city.
Seemed like this walk lasted hours, neither #2, or I were tired at all. We walked back to the hotel to see what mom was doing, and she wasn't bored..she was just sitting there crocheting and watching the news on tv. While we were sitting there a tornado warning had come on screen and we scrambled to try to get out of there.
We jumped on bikes (WTF?????) and started pedaling for our lives...now we ended up in Nashville...how the hell made it to Nashville on bikes (my mom has arthritis in like every damned joint in her body) is beyond me. So we're soaking wet, completely exhausted from the bike ride, and the first hotel we come across is a real hooty tooty 5 star hotel.
We walk in, get a room, and when we walked into the room all our s tuff was there (another WTF???). We clean up, and get ready to go for dinner. We walk down to the lil' cafe in the lobby and had to stand in lines like a bunch of school children.
So we're standing there, talking, and overhearing a bunch of spoiled, snobby types yabbering away on their cell phones or to their friends, and the first group is allowed in.
As we're walking into the little cafe I notice that EVERYTHING is so nice, pretty, and just plain expensive looking. We get to our table and in each place setting there is a card that says "Take your bowl over to the server and get your own food" (hahaha ok) So we grab our bowls, walk over to the lady who's serving what looks like soup from a nice big ceramic dish. The line finally gets shorter and shorter and it's my turn to get some goods.
I hand my bowl to the lady and she starts dishing up spaghetti-o's....(SPAGHETTI-O'S?? WTF!!! Ok, see told ya it was a weird dream).
While we're sitting there eating a couple dudes walk in and come sit with us, one of them happened to be Jeff Gordon (ok WTF!!!! I seriously hate this dude). He started telling me that I should eat more, that I'm too skinny, which in reality I certainly need to loose a helluva lot of weight not gain weight, and well that's when the phone rang and woke my ass up (thank you hub for saving me from my nightmare) HAHAHA!
So there ya have it..here I sit shaking my head and chain smoking..trying to will away the memory of the dream....haha. Maybe my dreams tonight will be a little kinder to me :)
GRRROWL
** Note To anyone reading this? Please if my post confuses you please just ask...I get all fired up over something, my thoughts run about a million miles a second, and I have a tendency to confuse myself and screw up what I intended to say. This post is definitely not anti-gay, or anti-diversity. It is actually a rant about the extreme christian conservatives who are anti-gay. **
Holy freakin' Hell...i was just surfin the 'net, not even really payingh attention to what sites I was really at and all that and I came across
this . That site shows exactly why I'm sick of the human race sometimes.
I'm the type of person who lives and lets live. No, in this world, not everyone is going to like another group of people...thaty is their own opinion and they are entitled to it. Just because I'm not racist, or homophobic doesn't mean that someone else can't be. I just don't agree with hate crimes, at all..doesn't matter, but whether you dislike black people, or gay people gives you no right to hurt them emotionally, or physically.
Ok sorry, I went off on a little rant there. I myself was raised to understand and tolerate, and even embrace diversity, so obviously I don't think that gay people are bad, or wrong etc. But this site really disgusted me so thoroughly... Click on the link in the box where it says "Hear The Truth"
Sure sure the dudes voice is sooooo clear when he's describing what's being said on the tape but when he plays clips from the tape the voices are so crackly and garbled you can hardly hear it. So I say...is this their way of trying to brainwash people into thinking that GSA's are brainwashing their kids? How can you decide when you can't even hear what is being said on the tape?
This websites whole anti *Gay Agenda* (btw where did these idiots come up with a term like Gay Agenda anyways?) thing makes me sick. Any of the gay people I know (which is oh maybe 90% of my friends,and even some family) are the same as many other people in their views on life. Live and let live, don't discriminate, treat others as you want to be treated...and so on. Some of my friends have kids, are they trying to turn their kids gay? NO, are they trying to keep their kids straight? NO! They are raising them to just be themselves and have respect for others and the way they live life.
So why are these christian conservatives making it seem like there is any agenda at all? No fcking clue, but it really bothers me that they are so bothered by the existance of diversity and the idea of tolerance of diversity.
Happy Hump Day
I never really got a chance to post yesterday. I was actually a good lil dork and did some packing. The only thing missing? Music!
Mr. Taz decided to jump up on the desk in the middle of the night and knock the sub woofer to the floor. Heard a thump, but figured it was just the kitties running and jumping around, so I didn't come out to investigate.
We noticed that the sub woofer was missing off the desk yesterday morning...then found it on the floor under the desk. Man was the hub pissed...good thing the kitty ran and hid somewhere..the sneaky evil lil peckerhead! Haha, actually it's kind of funny now after the fact.
So last night we went to Staples and bought this speaker set...not a bad price and believe me, they work excellently...not as good as the last set we had but for $30, who can complain? Certainly not me..I've got my tunes back!
There's this Canadian artist named Holly McNarland..I absolutely love her music...especially her cover of Phil Collins song In The Air Tonight, that song sends shivers down my spine...or is it her voice...dunno. But it has that effect on me. Another three of my favourite songs by her are Numb, Mr 5 Minutes, and Elmo. Definitely some good chick rock! :)
So I've gotten a lot of stuff packed, but now I've got a shitload of garbage piling up around here..ugh I think I'll haul it off to the dumpster once I feel motivated enough to get dressed..haha I'm so lazy in the mornings..like to take my time waking up, drinking coffee, and fiddling around online. But the plus side to all this? I've only really got 2 more rooms to pack up...kitchen and the junk (the hub's old computer stuff n sports cards) in the laundry room.
Doing pretty good aren't I? Oh yeah...I rock! Hahaha.
Been in an excellent mood since last night...maybe it's the combination of last nights full moon, and this morning's sunshine. Or then again maybe it's the super good combination of cigarettes, coffee, and music. I just like feeling like this!
HAPPY HUMP DAY!!
Thar she blows....
Hahahaha..so I was nervous all day for nothing..but a bunch of wind, and rain but other than that it was ok.
Borrowed a vehicle from the in laws..went shopping...was terrified that the wind was gonna blow the van over...sheesh..guess you can definitely call me a BIG CHICKEN!
Glad all the watches and warnings are off for our area..makes me sleep better knowing that I won't blow away in my sleep and end up in the middle of a field.. :)
Yup, a bit of a dork, aren't I?
And this is how I feel tonight...which is why im goin to bed!
Eeeeeks!
Woke up to see that we're under a tornado watch. Man I love storms but this tornado shit has got to go! Last time I had any dealings with a tornado was when I was 13...dunno how the hell I managed to sleep through it, but I woke up to see the neighbourhood all torn up!
I'd like to see a tornado, but not close to home or anyone elses for that matter...especially living somewhere, where we don't have a basement or any type of storm shelter just scares the heck out of me.
I feel bad for the people who've had to deal with these bad storms and stuff yesterday and today. That definitely is some scary stuff.
Blogexplosion
Ok I think I may have figured out the deal with blogexplosion as well..ahaha! So please go check out my renter,
Mystickal Incense . She's got a very nice looking blog, and she sells handmade candles, incense, and more! I'd be definitely ordering lots of stuff If I could...so go check her out :)
Tired, but Smilin'
Whatta day! The hub totally scored brownie points from me today. Whatta man :)
We went to Moe's, had a great lunch and some wars with each other on the video game screens...totally whupped his butt at it..but didn't beat the high score on the dirty photo hunt haha!
Came home and relaxed for a bit, and OH MY..he took me out for dinner..to my favourite Mexican restaurant El Salto. We were going to meet with friends at Don Pablo's, but the wait time was an hour and a half...fuck that. Plus I find the food is much better at El Salto, and El Vaquero (the place we went for our anniversary/valentines day).
Funny..I absolutely love Saturdays when we go out and keep ourselves busy for most of the day because he actually goes to bed at a decent time, and I have a peaceful Saturday night all to myself to play on the computer or veg on the couch and watch tv.
Speaking of the tv..since I've moved to the states, and being married to a tv addict I've become quite the couch potato as well. I never really was into watching much tv at all...i actually kinda hated just sitting there watching. Now? Oh I love it..have my favourite shows, and all the Nascar stuff...haha!
Time for me to take my fat ass n go sit in front of the tv...hoping everyone else is having a good Saturday night...oh geez i just noticed that even the kitties are all behaving and sleeping peacefully...think it'll last? I know better! :)
Hangover Hell
Why...can someone tell me WHY I was so stupid and drank last night? Oh man, I can be such a dumbass at times. Well..live and learn right? I quit drinking a few weeks ago (or was it a month?) because I had the hangover from hell..plus I guess I'm allergic to alcohol because when I drink my face breaks out in an itchy rash...gross huh!
So last night the hub came home and picked me up..we were going to this awesome lil bar called Moe's Place which is in Rossford, Ohio. This place has to have the BEST staff, and the BEST food ever. If you're ever in the area go there and ask for a moe's burger well done ..it is excellent. Ok I got sidetracked there. So some of the hub's co workers were there..two of them I knew but one of them I didn't..so of course my shyness took over me.
What was my solution? Ack..I had a friggin' drink..and you know what that did...one drink led to another, and another and another..then back home, more beer on top of beer...blah.
I didn't even really drink all that much, but boy was I suffering with a wicked hangover. Been up since 7, but only got around to *bloggin* now, since my head has stopped pounding and I'm no longer praising the porcelain goddess!
Today we are going back...hey it's one of our favourite places since Roma's closed down (damn you Roma's, damn you..we need our thursday night pizza deal dammit!!). I'm going to behave and only drink coffee...yes bar coffee..BUT it is pretty damn good coffee I tell ya. Probably have lunch, drink my coffee and play on those addictive video game thingies they have ..my game is Boxxi...I play some to see the pics of cute dudes...and i have to play the ones with nekkid chicks to satisfy the hub hahaha!
Well time to go and get our groove on (no not THAT groove you dirty minded buggers) hahaha!
ok..what's wrong with people
Talking to a friend this morning..decided to send a few pics of the kitties and surprise pic of me drinkin coffee in my flannel jammies n messy hair...he said i had lips like steven tyler..WHATEVER!
I'm sorry..I do have full lips, but NOTHING like them big ol vaccum suckin lips like his! Hahahaha what a joke eh...oh well here..u people think I have steven tyler lips?
Well time to try to get myself motivated! Fun fun fun...NOT!
Wow (profanity filled post haha)
I actually feel like I've accomplished something today. It's amazing how emptying out most of a dresser and the junk drawers really makes a difference.
Pretty much got everything in the bedroom packed away..just gotta deal with the garbage junk..toss it away and pack the good junk.
Taking a coffee and cig. break as I write...of course I cannot leave the poor computer all by itself while I'm off paying attention to something else. This little dear might think I don't love it anymore and let someone else stroke it's beautiful keyboard...haha!
Don't know why, but I can't get my mind off how much I dislike stupid people..ok not people that are a few transistors short of a sony if ya know what I mean...but people who lack common sense. Ugh it drives me nuts that these people are allowed to go on with their ways. Sometimes it's just disgustingly rude, or dangerous.
These are ways some of these people get on my nerves:
- Paying more attention to their oh so important cell phone call while driving. HANG THE FUCK UP AND DRIVE MOTHERFUCKER! Or pull off to the side of the road so that I don't have to watch you weaving back and forth across the line into my lane.
- People who yack away on their cell phones in public places...such as restaurants, and stores. I as well as many other people don't care who lied to you, what you had for dinner, or that nasty rash..it's none of our business and you should not broadcast your business...hang up til you get to a private place to talk.
- People who think the world owes them everything on a silver platter. Oh what? You're 37 years old, you REFUSE to work, you don't have small children at home and your elderly mother supports you! Get a job! What? You don't like dealing with customers? SO FUCKING WHAT!!! Most of the worlds populations don't like, oh they can't even stand dealing with some dumb fuck customers..but guess what..WE HAVE TO! Get over it and work for your own happiness...don't whine to me about your problems!
and last but not least...
- Intolerant, ignorant people who think they're always right. Yes, you know the ones who try to impose their beliefs or opinions onto everyone else and get angry when others don't agree with them. Give it a freakin' rest already. Not everyone is going to agree with certain opinions or beliefs...if someone doesn't agree with yours give it up and go find someone who believes as you do. Do not tell me I am wrong for what I believe in! So Screw you!
Well there's my rant for the day..don't know why this stuff has been bothering me all morning..makes me want to go out and hunt these people down and beat them with a big ol' stick! Might be fun..but don't wanna get in trouble..haha!
Time to go back to packing...ooh fun..well it is kinda fun Taz is keeping very well amused and occupied by dumping him out of every box I go to put something in...silly ass cat!
lalalala...lalala land!
What a lazy day... guess you can tell from the earlier post.
Here's what happened. First I got sucked into chatting with 3 different people on msn, while trying to browse blogs and enjoy my coffee.
Second... the kitties were being way too quiet. I just had to go check on them.
Taz was all snuggled up on the bed lookin so cute, so I went to snuggle a kitty. Now this cat does not snuggle to me...he seems to need to have both my arms wrapped right around him..he tucks his head under my chin and purrs. That puts me to sleep, so well, there goes the rest of the day.
Woke up checked email, and all that good stuff..got dressed and tidied the place up a bit. Was invited to the in law's for dinner, went for dinner, then came home.
So here I am all wired up on caffeine, bored, confused..and just lazy...haha.
There was really no point to this post except to feel that I've done at least one thing tonight...haha!
too lazy..
too lazy to type much...sooo here's some pics of the fur children :)
Miss Stash
Miss Jojo
Mr. Taz
New Template
Well I decided to change my template because, well..i love pinks, purples all those colours, but this one suits me better. I love country settings, I love plants, flowers etc, and most of all I love sitting on the porch..especially on a porch swing!
Monday morning blues
no more coffee which makes me sad
Gotta start packing...moving day less than a month away (so overwhelmed with this task it's not even funny).
I never truly realized (or is that realised?) how much stuff we do have. In the one year we've been married I think our knick knacks and other personal items have more than tripled (thanks mom) I'm faced with the task now of going through all of these things picking out stuff that we really want and need and tossing out the other.
I have serious *it's mine* issues I'll keep something just because it's mine and I want it...ugh ok shoot me already. For example. I have a whole makeup bag of old makeup from my brother's salon because it's mine and especially because it was mine when I was still in Canada...make sense? Does to me..but then my mind is strangely special so I guess I can make sense of anything pertaining to me. Oh well.
I'm so dreading this packing thing...moving is cool andfun..I just hate packing...oh geez! Will I survive until April 1st?
Ah yes...
Finally a good day where at 10:20 pm I'm glad to be home and yawning!
The hub is getting so much better at not being such a hermit grump. If it wasn't for my lack of DECENT friends down here in the states maybe I wouldn't be so bored..but omg the only ones I've met so far are total fucktards! I know there are decent people about..just need to stop being so shy and just introduce myself.
Been on the go pretty much all day..started out with an awesome pancake breakky at the SIL's house, then went to this local bar..i drank coffee and chit chatted with people while the hub flapped his gums to a friend. I'm totally addicted to the bar top video game screens haha!
Came home for a couple hours..then left again..went to see a friend but she's got like 5 kids, and now 3 dogs...it was chaos..but overall an excellent visit. I miss visiting these people (yes decent people..just chaotic home haha).
Drove ALL over the place looking for a half decent place to go out for dinner..what's wrong with people for them to wait at Red Lobster, Applebees, Outback, and all kinds of restaurants for an hour and a half..sorry we hungry..we want food...not to sit and look at a bunch of hungry strangers waiting for a table. Sorry not my thing.
We eventually decided on this little mexican restaurant called El Salto a friend told us about..no wait time which was cool.
I haven't drank in 3 weeks..decided to have a margarita...OH MY that one friggin margarita got me drunk...how is that possible? So now im behaving..with a diet coke..bout to go to bed and sleep off my buzz..funny how after only 3 weeks of not drinking, that one drink would make me react this way. Plus there was some prissy lil' bitch giving me the evil eye all through our dinner for who knows what....ugh sometimes people bug me..haha!
Well just really appreciating that the hub took me out today and let me have a good day because being cooped up at home makes Donna a very cranky and antsy chick!
Can't wait til my head hits the pillow and the kitties find their spots to keep me warm!
STUPID, idiotic people
Oh boy...not even a full ten minutes from writing my other post and I must write again.
I'm watching a story on GMA about a teacher who had a sex change and the parents of her students are causing shit..WHY? Cuz they're stupid!!
I myself see nothing wrong with this...they are afraid for their children's *impressionable minds* WHATEVER!
Maybe they should be lucky that their children are exposed to people who are different early on so that they don't view differences as weirdness, and that they fully accept people for who they are!
Gosh I just hate stupidity, ignorance, and especially intolerance!
I sure hope that these parents get the bug outta yer butts and realize it really is not a big deal to have an obviously great person (according to some students) teaching their children. So what if she used to be a guy.
Geez......
Yum...lovely coffee
I really don't know why,but this coffee is just tasting most excellent this morning. Maybe it's because I had to work for it...HAHA.
Woke up to the fuzzy butted beasts raising hell! First Taz was stalking and attacking Jojo while on the bed, and yes I was sleeping...did not wake up the happiest. Actually it was Jojo doing her kitty screech that woke me up.
I come out to make coffee...trying to do everything quietly cuz the hub had fallen asleep on the couch.
Turned on the light and what did I notice? OMG my crocheting project I'm working on. My beautiful purple/pink granny squares are strewn about the place, plus my half finished square was unraveled and the yarn totally wrapped and tangled around the coffee table..computer chair, around the kitchen table and around the legs of the chair..PLUS halfway down the hall.
Luckily for them lil bratties i love them. That im not like some people who think their animals are just belongings to kick and yell at when they feel like it.
So I unwrapped the yarn, and and got it all cleaned up and put it in a different spot. Five minutes later??? Taz has gotten ahold of some squares again..ARGH what a lil beastie butt!
Let's hope all that was not a preview of what's to come today...otherwise i'll be going door to door begging some valium off the neighbours...and having a good strong drink (and i quit drinking) hahaha!
Grrrrowl!!!
Ok, well first of all.. I woke up and noticed it was a sucky ass day! UGH! So that started me off wrong.
Plus I'm still a bit annoyed at the worse half..err i mean the better half. Love him to death but he frustrates me so bad sometimes.
We're moving in a month..and we were giving this place to one of our friends who wanted to get out of his mom's place. He calls last night and tells hub that he isn't going to move in here after all. Which is cool..I can't really blame him (will get into that later), but man it would have been nice if he had told us this at least a month ago. So now we have to find out how much it will cost to have this piece of crap removed from the lot or find someone to move in...can't afford to pay two lot rents plus all the other bills.
So the good ol hub asked what i meant by this place being crap. Well first of all..if it wasn't because we were kinda stuck here I would NOT have put up with living here. The wiring needs to be redone, all the pipes need to be replaced, most of the floors, PLUS support beams need to be replaced. There's this awful, ugly chew hole (at least it looks chewed) where the wall meets the floor in the bathroom...oh my gosh yes there's more. The wall in the bedroom needs to be replaced, so does the tub, and tub surround. Think I'm done? NOT YET...argh!
So you can see why I can't wait to get out of this damned place! I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!
Alright so that's not bad...but the thing that pissed me off was he actually had the nerve to get mad at me because i am not willing to stay in a big hunk of crap. No, I don't mind living in a trailer but come on...even houses need repairs...so obviously a trailer does as well. He got all pissy because apparently when he moved in here 10+ years ago it was worse than it is now..well DUH! I understand your point honey but that does not make the bad stuff with this place seem better! Geez he can be so irritating sometimes!
Luckily though we won't be here long. The SIL & BIL bought a house and their trailer is like a freakin PALACE compared to this place...it's beautiful actually. Nothing wrong with it..just maybe needs some tiles replaced in the dining room which is easy enough. Plus it's like twice as big as this place so the kitties will have lots of room to run and wreak havoc haha! Especially this lil bastard!
So now that I've finished with my rant I can go on with my day somewhat peacefully..haha!!!
Thank you!!
Alrighty!
Thanks to Denise from

Women's Words to live by
I got this in an email and it's so true. For anyone whose better half thinks of you as a bitch sometimes just think of this and don't back down or give in!
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch. Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch. The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed. And if that makes me a bitch , so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.
