What-up Home Fry?!

Lol so had to share this. My car used to be a very pretty car and then it got used to haul all of my crap to different homes in the past few years so it’s had a little wear and tear, and it’s been in a few fender benders so it’s got some scratches and dents and it’s been outside for all the time that I’ve owned it and oh yeah the paint is fading badly. So my once really nice car is looking kind of funky. Add to all of the listed I’ve got not only my junk in my car but now the whole backseat has all the contents of Justin’s cars trunk and back seat. Got the picture? Banged up car full of junk. Now me last night I was getting my hair cut and dyed and I knew it was going to take awhile because she had to fix all of the crap that I’ve done to it in the past, so I’m rocking a huge long sleeve comfy shirt, jeans and oh yeah my house slippers. So basically I look like a bum. Get done with my hair after almost 4 hours, and there is a Wendy’s next door to the shop so I’ve been eyeballing it for some time having not eaten dinner. So I head over to Wendy’s and go thru the drive thru. I order a cheeseburger and a diet coke off of the value menu. I pull forward and pay. At the drive thru window I see one of my old friends from high school, John, and he recognizes me, we chit chat for a few seconds and he’s looking at the car and the back seat and he’s looking at me. I get my food and we say goodbye. But the funny look he’s giving me is bugging me, and then I notice that there is extra food in my bag. Oh wow it sinks in, I look homeless! It makes me laugh all the way home…. as I munched on my home-less fries. So I think I’ll be cleaning out the car soon. 

Craziness Update -Work in Progress-Will Add-More... Maybe...

•UPDATE• We HAVE A NEW DATE!!! It's May 21st 2011!! SO yes 5-21-11 Sweetness!!!

Ello!!! Holy Cow I’ve been busy!! Wedding is totally on a roll! I’ve been Branson, I’ve been to stores, I’ve been to pinned up in my wedding dress I’ve been to church (story to follow) I’ve looked at flowers, Way back last month I shook my booty till the early morning hours, and of course I’ve been doing laundry, and shopping. Oh! And I’ve turned a whole year older!

Let’s start off with the church! Ignore the ticker above we are changing our date we won’t know what it is until this weekend hopefully. We have a meeting with the Father at JustAnUglyMonkey’s church this Saturday. We can’t get married in the church on March 26^th due to the fact that it’s Lent. But! I like the church, for the following reasons:

           

• It’s a church and a beautiful one, it’s one that Justin grew up in and his family goes to, so it holds a lot of meaning.

            • It is weather resistant

            • There are already chairs there

• Father Pete is pretty awesome the few times I have met him, he has a good sense of humor.

•It’s close to our house and it will hold a lot of people

See? So I’m excited, yes I have to go to classes I was baptized Catholic, but I wasn’t raised Catholic. I don’t think I have to convert to be married in the church, I’m pretty firm in my own beliefs, which are pretty much the same, me and JustAnUglyMonkey both believe in God and that Jesus is the son of God born of the virgin Mary. He’s my personal savior and closer than a friend, because he loved me so much to die for me, so that He could be with me forever. I don’t always do what’s right but I know he loves me, and I try to live a life that is good, and fun and beautiful and love people for Him. SO yeah that’s me in a nutshell. I wouldn't mind becoming Catholic, it is a beautiful religion and a really wonderful community, so we will see how these classes go, BUT I know we have to take marriage classes, which we’ll be fine at, but it will be strange because of Monkey’s wonky work schedule, but we’ll make it work.

BRANSON is amazing I’m not sure if I have many photos, but I’ll look around and post up later I thought I took my camera.

Bachelorette Part was amazing take a look at the few photos that survived the night lol.

I swear Georgia still has a face...

sorry so much of the ta tas but I really think it's funny how goblin like I look.

Here is the sassy bride to be!!

Hack, hack, zzzzzz Update

see their cute heart tails? awweeee...

Yeah, I’ve just been really busy at work, then at home, tons of laundry, dishes and cleaning etc. Plus, I’ve had this wicked cold for about a week now, and it really wears me out so I’ve been dragging my booty to bed early every night to try and get rid of it! So I haven’t forgotten you! I’ve just been busy! But I’ll update soon!

But Please enjoy these funnies!

Okay, this just made me laugh... poor kitty!

I just want to hold him and love him, but I'd probably get judo chopped!

Updates to come:

Bachelorette Party craziness

Wedding Plans a Rollin’

Weight loss etc

Peace, love and sniffles!

Brown-Chicken Brown-Cow. VersaSpa Experience

So I’m headed out to a Bachelorette part this weekend, and I didn’t have time to tan, I know, bad, bad tanning…But after putting on my LBD I decided that a little color would be a good touch so when I’m busting a move I don’t look like I’m waving fish bellies around. So crunched on time I opted for a spray tan. After comparing prices and types I settled on a VersaSpa at a nearby Tanning Salon. I kept reading raves about it. So away I went! And they had it on special for so I got 5 tans for pretty much the price of one and they are good till next March. DEAL. So let me tell you about the VersaSpa Experience. I say experience because it is somewhat like an amusement park ride. First when I came in the very nice lady working the front counter told me all about it and even showed me her tan which looked pretty brown and natural. So I bought the ticket and took the ride. We went back to the little booth and she explained all of the steps to me, which are pretty much.

1. Get into your birthday suit
2. Put on this handy dandy shower cap
3. Put this pretty slimy prep lotion on your hands and feet

Then once you get into the thing… I’m standing there fully clothed while she’s explaining all this btw. She hops in to the machine and shows me the positions you have to stand in once you are in there. Which are as fallows:

1. Face forward and push tata’s out spray, spray, spray
2. Face the back spray, spray, spray
3. Repeat
4. Saturday Night Fever Pose to the Left spray, spray, spray
5. Saturday Night Fever Pose the Right spray, spray spray

There are a few passes that it makes and it blow-dries you a few times in there.

There is also this automated woman’s voice the whole time also telling you what to do, which adds the whole ride experience complete with I think a please exit safely. It is pretty slippery in there towards the end.

The whole thing only lasts a few minutes, but it’s actually a lot of fun. Then while you are standing there all finished nakey it cleans itself and it’s like a waterfall.

So how did the tan turn out? Well something that I think is kind of funny is there are these spots that show up like brown splotches, I showed the lady at the front and she said that was normal and they would wash off, so home I went to sleep on it. It was a little stinky but not too bad, got up in the morning and ta-da! Instant tan! I didn’t go the darkest you could go in there I did the medium which I thought was safe and I don’t feel like I have a orangey glow, I look brown, and they splotches are very few and only where I was very dry, my left hand is the only place where I really notice it, they look a little like very faint age spots, but they aren’t too bad. So I’m very pleased. Kind of wish I had a before and after. Maybe next time.

Oh! Oh! I have a very bad habit of biting my nails, I always have and recently I’ve been trying not to and I have done solo well I have pretty nice nails now…the nail beds are a little iffy but eh it’s a start and they were even long enough to paint for this weekend and not get ceramics put on, cash-money in the bank baby. Not to mention my cats love them for tummy rubs and chin scratching…

Speaking of cats Leela has taken to doing this on everything, she lays on the banister, on the couch on a bed and this is her new pose, it’s so strange. She just hangs there and chatters to you.

Update on Exersice-o-rama: well there’s really none, I haven’t been sticking to much other than my one or none pop and I’ve jogged a few times on the treadmill, Weighted myself this morning and It was 203, so that’s a 1.4 pound loss, so not too bad, but think of what I could do if I tried harder! Next week baby next week!

Brown Biscuit Babe out! 

There’s a cat for that

So I make my minions do my bidding… A cat to pay the bills and sort out the junk mail. And of course there has to be a supervisor cat to make sure it all gets done correctly.

And that kids, is how we run a smooth operation here.

Man I am beat. I’m so sleepy for some reason, but hopefully I’ll get some energy back by this weekend! So didn’t get to do The Bar Method last night because I was glued to the TV for September storm watch grrrr, but I did manage to at least take a good 30 min walk/jog on the treadmill and of course I had to watch the Chiefs win on Monday Night Football!!! I yelled so loud at an awesome punt return that I scared the cats!

Hmm what did I eat? I had a glass of milk for breakfast, a half a can of 7Up at work, some KFC green beans and mashed potatoes for lunch with a chicken strip, and some pasta for dinner oh yeah and an Almond Joy, hand full of peanuts. And water splashed in there. Not really healthy, but it’s what I ate.

Later Gators!

It's down to business baby.

I’m sitting here watching my little boy sleep next to me on the couch while I watch The Gates. I think he either has nightmares or he just talks a lot in his dreams, but I wake him up and hug him, my baby…

You know what is annoying? Room darkening curtains, they only come in one panel. I want two!! I got 2 in this awesome college pack, but they have really bright stripes, and that works out great for the office, but I want pretty ones for the bedrooms, and well buy a panel for 20 some bucks each just seems nutty to me at the moment when I got the other ones for 7 bucks. I’ll just have to wait for a clearance sale I think….I’m really not sure what color I want exactly but the one panel thing still bugs me.

I really like to play jinn or rummy, I’m not sure what it’s called but we’ve played it a few times with our friends, I’m not too good at it yet, but it is so much fun.

So the Bar Method came in the mail! Tried it out and it was pretty awesome. So I’m going to put the big bad truth up here I’m at my biggest weight ever. Yes, its 204.4 pounds. Yikes!!! That’s not only unhealthy for my wardrobe, but that’s really unhealthy for me. And with my family’s health history I know better than to just sit on the couch.

So here it is I'm going to try to blog every day not only my every day rants etcetera, but my updates on working out eating and weigh in each week. Take measurements also, sizes. That seemed to work well with the HCG…which was pregnant women’s hormones and that just started to feel funky… 500 calories a day isn’t the way to go, it really doesn’t fit into a normal human life.

My work out routine is going to be The Bar Method MWF and Cardio on TT then switch off every other SS. I want to also get in a 20 min walk on the treadmill M-F if I can. JustAnUglyMonkey also wants to do P90X so I’ll probably workout with him too. Diet wise I’m going to stick to the one pop a day if any and try not to eat after 6 or 7 at night, but other than that just more protein less sugary stuffs.

This is what my virtural model looks like now and below is my goal 60 pounds lighter.

So here are my measurements I’ll start the workouts tomorrow!

Weight: 204.4 pounds

Size: 14-16 shirt size L-XL women’s

Neck: 16 in.

Right Upper Arm: 14.5 in

Right Lower Arm: 10 in

Left Upper Arm: 14 in

Left Lower Arm 10 in

Chest: 45 in

Waist (at Belly Button): 47.5 in

Hips: 47.5 in

Right Upper Thigh: 27.5 in

Right Lower Thigh: 20 in

Right Calf: 16 in

Left Upper Thigh: 27.5 in

Left Lower Thigh: 19

Left Calf: 15.5

I know I’ve measured a few times… and I don’t know why parts of me are different sizes but they are. I’m strange…

Well time to hit the hay, before I hit the mill in the morning night!

Sassy. Classy. Lazy? No. Different Color Hair and a bit of Repo!

What a beautiful weekend!! And busy!! I feel like I’ve been pretty much non-stop for the last few weeks, next weekend I’m going to make a clause that says I don’t have to get out of my pjs and go anywhere for like a whole day, just a day I’m not asking the whole weekend, just a day all to me and being lazy. BUT! I did get a lot done this lovely Labor Day weekend and I saw many people. Lets see…

My dad had surgery 2 weeks ago and went home but didn’t really feel right and my Blondie took him back in on Friday and he ended up having to have another surgery. So I’ve been spending mucho time at hospital waiting rooms and what not, but at least I got to catch up on some trashy magazines and I now have a good idea of Good House Keeping…. Monkey and I both got home really late on Friday even me at hospital and he at work, both didn’t feel like cooking, but were starving so Monkey peeled me off of the couch and announced, “we’re going to Wendy’s” While waiting in the drive thru, I came up with the word sauce-ial, because I needed honey mustard for my sauce-ial needs. So in our half asleep ness sauce-ial became the “it” word of the night. Priceless.

Saturday got to go have dinner with the family super tasty and lots of fun, asked more questions about wedding, I really wish I had more to tell them, But we do know that we really want a huge party and I have the dress, flowers ... yadda yadda yadda, just need a date.  Went grocery shopping and got away with only spending 70 bucks! But then went home and figured out that I had forgotten a ton of stuff… on to laundry that has been piling up!

Sunday! Got up and went shopping with JustAnUglyMonkey for new jeans, saw him off to work then back out again to finish grocery shopping. Pick up candle orders drop off candle orders. More laundry! Wash dishes we have no plates or cups …. Probably a good time to do that. Watch Repo Men (I loved Repo the Genetic Opera, and feel like this was a cheap knock off.) Get ready go over to Mom and Dad Monkey’s house say hi and jet off to our friends for the evening. Ended up watching Camp Rock 1 & 2, I have now developed a slight crush on the Jonas Brothers.

This is what my boys do...

Monday, Monday, I wish all Mondays were like you, woke up around 10-ish. Made some coffee, started more laundry, unloaded dishwasher, took out trash, and laid on the couch. Ahhhh. Monkey came home from mowing and we watched Terminator Salvation and took a nap, I woke up and watched The Backup Plan. It was cute. Monkey went off to work and I got dressed and went over to my aunt’s house and me and 2 other ladies peeled pears and apples for canning and freezing. It was fun! I get to do it every year the fruit was from my mom and dad’s house, but I helped my aunt out since she had picked about hundred pounds of apples and 80 some pounds of pears. Oh and the pears are soo sweet! That was a ton of fun, we kept shooting apple cores out of the crank machines calling it, “Apple Core Wars!” and we were covered in apple juice, water and lemon, we called it an Organic Apple Water bath and decided after the blisters wore off that it would be really good for our skin. Most of the apples were perfect and beautiful, but you get a few icky ones…

And with the changing of the colors for fall, my favorite season, so I then decided to change colors, I’m a dark, dark brunette now ahhha yes, it had nothing to do with hiding all of that gray…. Lol.

This week I look forward to a nice short week, some fun work lunches, Beauty and the Beast in the evenings while I clean out my closet. And Georgia on Thursday!!!

On a very bright note an amazing co-worker and friend of mine has gotten engaged and she has a most beautiful ring! It’s main diamond is a pear shaped, which you don’t see very often now days, but it is a very nice piece I must say! I got curious as to what if any the different cut meanings were and by gosh I found out! And drum roll please here is what one site says about pears. Pear Cut: The elongated pear shape shows a woman to be an individual, yet she still has a soft side for traditional romance. She may be a trend-setter with this unusual shape, though the teardrop shape may also be a prelude to tears or sorrow or tears of joy. 

I say only tears of joy J

Love,

Amanda 

PS"I've eaten a whole jar of Apple Butter" 

Pop the Top!

"I came to dance, dance, dance, I’m wearing all my favorite brands, brands, brands. I throw my hands up in air sometimes, sayin’ a-o! got to let it go! we gonna rock this club, we gon lite it up cuz it’s dynamite!

 It goes on and on and on!!"

Shake it! Shake it! I feel like dancing!!! It’s beautiful outside, the air is cool ahhhhhha my favorite!

I told Georgia that I just wanted to roll around outside, she then began to sing the “I don’t wanna work I want to bang on the drums all day” song. So good, go look it up.

There needs to be some sort of festival or something…. Oh! Oh! I’ve got a Bachelorette party to go to (not mine) in a few weeks and I’ve got to find something fabulous to wear to shake my booty in. I love to dance I don’t even care if I took like I’m having some sort of allergic reaction, I’ll shake it till I can’t shake no mo. And that’s precisely what I tend to do. But I can’t decide if I want to shake it in a dress or in jeans…. I’m leaning towards dress; a lot more wiggle room, no jeans to get stuck to you…. Hmmm now to find or make the perfect dress! Maybe… We’ll see how adventurous I am this weekend…

Georgia is getting this adorable sexy corset, hopefully it comes in time. She’ll look like a rock star!! As she always does.

Yes! you too could have this sexy contraption at Good-Deal something number.

I’ve got to find something to do with my hair.. and clean out clothes I don’t wear anymore. I could sell them! Or donate! But get them out of my house, they are coming out of my closet at an alarming rate! I think that is something else I’ll work on this weekend. Oh! Oh! And I get to see the gals this weekend! We are going to dinner it up at the Olive Garden, I haven't seen them in awhile! I misses them! 

Maybe I’ll even start to fall decorate.

So fallow up on the mini bikes… I bit it. My first ride out JustAnUglyMonkey made me wear riding gloves and a helmet. He didn’t have to wear a helmet, no one else did, and they rode with flip-flops on too. L Well now I know why I was made to… After a few failed attempts I finally got going and I decided to put my feet down instead of hitting the breaks. Who knew that falling off of a foot tall bike could hurt so much?!?! I guess it makes a difference that you are going a certain speed. But I smacked my face on the road and popped the helmet off, I was sure I broke my nose, but nope it just felt that way. All I got for my heroic (not really) ride was some road rash, and well my whole body aches from smacking the ground, but I’m happy that’s all I got for it, it could have been worse if not for the helmet. Monkey made me hop back on and ride it back up to the drive way, he was proud I got back on…even if I sort of walk/road it back up. I know he wants me to learn, and I’ll try again…but I’m not sure bikes with motors on them are my thing… at least 2 wheeled…But I’m sort of proud of my little patch of road rash… I tried it, I did it, I’ve got a little badge of courage by my elbow that stings constantly, but it makes me smile.

 

 Off to take some more Advil....

Get on the Bar?

So I haven’t blow dried my hair in awhile, I’ve been pretty lazy, I just pin it up and run away, I feel like I’ve been really lazy with myself, but really good to the house I get home, pick JustAnUglyMonkey’s lunch and or dinner plates off of the living room floor, his milk glass, his sock and underwear and deposit in the correct places. I then proceed to do dishes, laundry and cook or bake something, all while watching a TV show or movie. I clean litter box, water plants and take out trash. But Amanda needs a little work now so I’ve gotten a little hair cut and I got my eye brows waxes, I touched up my roots, (I think I missed a few … grrrr) But the one thing that still irks me is my round shape. JustAnUglyMonkey owns P90X, which is an amazing program, especially for men. I have a friend, Georgia’s brother who is doing it currently and let me just say…wow sexy.  Monkey and I keep saying that we will start it but we never do. And I very much like to jog on my treadmill even more so now that I have my TV hooked up down there. I need to get up early enough to run down there for 20 mins and watch the news now instead of lay on the couch and watch it. BUT! I haven’t seen any results with my jogging, I may even feel bulkier! And then Monkey said something the other day that makes sense, you can’t just do cardio, it really doesn’t help you lose weight, building muscle does. Which is one reason P90X does so well, it’s all about muscle confusion. But P90X isn’t my thing I’ve tried it before and I hate to sound like a wuss but it’s hard and well boring, for me at least, I know many that love it like I said it does work. So off I went to find something that would be good for me to do. One day while cruising the web I saw Kelly Osborne. I always thought she was a bigger girl and here she was trim and happy. Yeah I know celebrities are airbrushed and on goofy diets and have crazy trainers yadda, yadda, yadda, but I was actually interested on how she did it. To Google I went! And after she participated in Dancing with the Stars, she stayed trim with The Bar Method. Then other celebrities popped up that had used it like Drew Barrymore. I went out to find what average Jill’s thought of The Bar Method and I can’t find a negative thing about it. And even more I found their site and the 2 pack of the workout DVDs were very reasonably priced. So I bought them, they should get here in a little bit and I’ll have to blog about it. The principle behind The Bar Method is a little ballet, yoga, and pilates. But it’s to build lean long muscles like a dancer. I used to dance it’s right up my alley! So up dates to come when it gets here! I’ll take you on my sweat-tastic journey. We’ll see if this is a keeper.

I am however doing good on my pop deal, I limit it to one can of pop a day or no pop at all. I’m doing very well and have stuck to that for quite some time J

Other news! We are the proud owners of Mini Bikes!!!

The red one is mine! It runs really well just doesn’t look pretty…yet!

JustAnUglyMonkey has the green one and we are selling the naked one to one of our friends.

Georgia and I got together a few days ago and watched us some True Blood and made some chicken fajitas! What goes better with fajitas than Budlight lime and Key lime pie? Nothing…well maybe some margaritas, but I don’t know where my blender is… do I have a blender? I thought I did…

I like my fruit snacks dangerous!

The cats love key lime pie too!!

The cats…all the ever do is sleep. Little Fry you pet him twice, he starts to purr then he’s out like a light!

Leela, caught mid yawn scary isn’t it?

Oh to be a cat.

Bye, bye for meow

Super Skin Suits, Sci-Fi and Sewing

So the other day I snapped my favorite bra. It was an amazing body by Victoria bra. It was pretty plain Jane, but was seamless and fit like a glove. Yeah stupid wire broke and poked me in the armpit and I couldn’t take it anymore. The problem is that these bras aren’t cheep and so I thought I would go and do the responsible thing and get a cheaper one at another store. And while the one I found does fit very nicely and was half the cost, it has this lacy bit that is itchy and driving me bonkers! Pull out seam ripper or live with it? Hmmm. But it got me to thinking wouldn’t it be nice to have a neat mold thing that you could fit into that was not only a bra that lifted and whatnot, but was like a skin suit. Okay don’t start thinking I’m all Wild Bill and I’m throwing lotion at someone at home in a hole. I’m just saying it could be like a fat suit in reverse? Don’t feel like shaving your legs? Need a tan? Suck in that tummy get rid of that cellulite? Well there’s the skin suit! I don’t know how the magical ins and outs of it would work but you just put it on and you have a perfect body, no worries. I would like that, I would like a skin suit that I could have turn golden brown and slim, you could swim in it, no more being self conscious during vacations or pool parties. It would look just like you and no one would know.  Alright I know that we are already outfitted with something like this, I’m just all for the easy way, the creative techie scientific way… yeah, sure, let’s go with that. Do away with plastic surgery and let’s make custom skin suits lol.  Fine, fine, I’ll be happy with my lacy itchy bra, and I’ll eat some fish and hop on a treadmill. But I did have Chocolate cake for breakfast and I don’t care, it was amazing and hit the spot.

So the other day JustAnUglyMonkey and I were looking at old cartoons we used to watch when we were little we are huge fans of cartoons and believe that they don’t make them like they used to. But it got me to thinking about other stuff that I used to watch when I was a kid and wouldn’t mind seeing again. One was the TV series Beauty and the Beast, and another was this sci-fi TV show that I couldn’t remember the name, and I didn’t watch it regularly, but every time it was on I would watch it. There was a ship shaped like a bug and it ate planets, a love slave, and a dead guy with funky hair. So off to look these up. I have on order the Beauty and the Beast series from my local Library, but I also found that crazy Sci-Fi show! It’s called Lexx and I swept it off of the shelf and began to watch it. It’s pretty campy and slightly pornographic to say the least. Did I mention that I really had creepy taste when I was little, okay I still have creepy taste. Scary and creepy didn’t and has never bothered me. Do I get scared? Yes! But I like it.

So I’m watching this show and I’m two episodes in, and it is like a train wreck I can’t help but keep watching, and there is 4 seasons of it!!! Apparently the love slave is in love with the dead guy, and she’s sad because she’d love to fool around with him, but his junk doesn’t work…. Oh unrequited love, so sad.

I know Monkey won’t watch this one with me, but I wonder if he would watch Beauty and the Beast. I think he remembered that one, maybe if I told him the Beast is Hellboy and that guy off of Sons of Anarchy (New season starting Sept. 7) and the Beauty is Sarah Connor from the Terminator… sounds manly right? And they fight crime! … I think…

I found this amazing blog the other day it is called New Dress a Day.

http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/

She spends only $1 on these dresses and then custom fits them for her. She is doing it for a year. Some are really awful outfits that she manages to only save bits and pieces, but for the most part I’d say 99% of the time, what she does looks pretty amazing! She was turning 30 and was inspired by the book, Eat, Pray, Love. It is a really good book and I’m re-reading/ listening to it. But she only has 104 more days to go for her year to be up.

I love to sew, I love to make about anything, and I haven’t made a whole new anything for awhile, mostly I’ve just been hand stitching things but I think I’m gong to hook up a TV finally In the office where my sewing things are and get back to it, he blog really inspired me.

Sew I’ll see ya later!

Kitten Couch Potato Meal Plan

So it was a much needed rainy morning, unfortunately I had wake up early and take a very content, TV watching, little boy cat to the vet ...in the rain, have you ever heard a cat whose never been in the rain, getting rained on? I think it's a noise that's reserved and played on a loop in the darkest depths of “special” hell, it was a noise somewhere between nails on a chalkboard and hissing spitting pissed off. And then he complained the whole 2-minute drive, and then oh joy! back out in the rain and into the office.  Wow the noises that came out of my kitten! I need an old priest and a young priest.

He loves to watch TV, I blame JustAnUglyMonkey for this. The day I brought him home Monkey thought he would like to watch a Steven Seagal movie, Hard to Kill. Yeah, he’s been TV addict since.

Here he is in action!

He loves sister Leela and wants to be where she is all the time. Of course she has a foot of don’t touch me bubble around her and she hisses if you cross this line. It’s funny because so many times he’ll be playing with one of his mice and he’ll kick it in her direction and he’ll go running after it and can’t seem to put his breaks on before he rolls right into his sister who smacks him and yells. Poor guy just wants to be friends L he picks up his toy and murmurs something that I think is sorry in catneise and grumbles about her being mean. I think sometimes he even comes up and tattles on her. He'll come up to me or Monkey and stand on his hind legs and chatters then looks at Leela and then looks back at us as to say, “she’s being mean, make her be nice to me.” All in good time buddy, hey at least she isn’t still under the bed. When Georgia and I brought home Mason she wouldn’t come out for over a week. I think they will be friends. I’m just hoping no body pushes any body over the banister.

Hmm, I don't remember getting this when I was shopping...

Oh! So JustAnUglyMonkey and I have been trying to solve that age-old question and so we’ve planned out our meals for a week. It’s pretty fun, and it makes shopping easy. So now I make dinner eat and save some for him, no longer I eat something and then dream up something for him to eat and make it right as he comes home. Because his “surprise me” usually turns into Surprise! You’re making yourself a sandwich! No, I’m not that mean, I make him something.

This time we made spaghetti sauce before hand together that was nice!

Peace out and Pasta!

Captain Underpants

So I’ve had one epic fail after another this week. I’ve been so sleepy we’ve had people over the house almost every day since last Friday. I am so pooped. I took little boy to the vet on Wednesday and I’ll get him back this Saturday, I’m worried about him, but I go visit him each day and he’s doing fine, I’m just ready for him to be home and see what his personality is like.

The house has suffered for all of my sleepiness, laundry needs to be done and floors need swept and vacuumed. Eh, it will get done, I’m going to curl up and sleep in this weekend, I’ll probably curl up tonight and finally watch Julie and Julia tonight, maybe make some spaghetti for dinner that sounds really good.

So some of my funny fails:

JustAnUglyMonkey ran out of boy soap and deodorant so he told me what kind he wanted, and specifically said no gel deodorant please. Sure okay.

I go to the store and go to pick out deodorant and I get excited because it’s on sale AND a two pack!!! So I grab a pack of Dove for me and a pack of Old Spice for Monkey and a 2 pack of boy soap in the same smell. While walking around I saw that the same kind of underwear that Monkey wears to work was on sale, Sweet! I thought and grabbed up a pack, thinking I heard him say that he needed some more. I picked up a few more things that I needed checked out and went on home. So later that night after work my monkey comes out of his bathroom, and says I love you and I appreciate everything you do for me, but you grabbed gel deodorant. Uh oh, FAIL. Then the next day I get a call from Monkey and he’s laughing, you know that underwear that I was so proud that I got on sale yadda, yadda, yadda? Yeah they were little boy underwear. FAIL.

Yes, Yes I need to have a nap.

May you not have stinky underarms and too tight panties!

Bye, yawn, bye!

When it’s hot, it’s heavy baby

It’s hot outside, like things are just bursting into flames hot outside. And you know what else goes up with the temperature? People’s tempers, coincidence? I think not. While at Wal-Mart today I nearly got hit by several people not paying attention when they drive, just zooming accross the parking lot, I honk to say hey buddy I’m here, no need to be going sixty into the side of me and I get flipped off and yelled at. If that was a public street I would have so let him hit me, but he also looked like the kind of person without insurance… grumble grumble….

Special people are out in full force in their Wal-Mart get up or lack there of. I saw too much lets call it skin and too little tube top. You know I’m all for the larger women rockin’ it but there is a point when you have to say really?!

I saw a man with 2 boys buying cat food by the case, and he looked at each can then put back some and was going to pay and then said wait let me see those, okay I’ll take a can of that and a can of that other one….. and then he went to pay again and did the same thing… it was very strange.  I had a few thoughts about this, while standing in what I thought was the short line. I thought that either the man was very poor and he and his family ate cat food, but then again I thought wait! I have two cats and that stuff ain’t cheap! It’s cheaper to go get a case of tuna if that is the consistency you’re going for. Then I thought wow they just have a gang of spoiled cats! Then I had a darker thought that they actually use the cat food to lure cats to kill and eat them. Yeah heat will drive you mad….

Today I felt like skipping down the hall at work for no good reason, it would just be fun.

I genuinely get along with most people. I like people, I eat, breathe, so on and so forth, so I feel like we would have at least a few things to converse about if ever the need arose, and even if we didn’t I’m pretty nutty enough to blab on and they can either join in or feel awkward and laugh nervously, I don’t care either way. BUT some people give me the creeps. There are certain levels to my creeped-outness. 1) Authority figures. I feel that although someone is amazingly wonderful there is always an air of respectful creeped out, just because of their position. This is not a bad creepy it’s just a feeling that at some moment however unlikely this person has the power to make your day go very wrong.

You have a pretty mouth...

2) Off Strangers. We can walk around this Earth and past many people in a day and think nothing of many of them or at least not feel something sinister about them. Then there are the few that make you walk a little quicker, lock your doors, or not make eye contact. Weather any of these actions have were given any warrant, you can’t help it it’s in our nature. I know many people ignore these and truck along and others that take it to an extreme avoidance. Me I walk the line, I ultimately lean towards self preservation to be smart, but I also like to give people the benefit of the doubt knowing that you can’t always judge a book by it’s cover, and that God would take care of me or I’d be going Home soon. Lastly there is 3) Off Familiars. These are people that you come in contact with regularly. It could be someone at a coffee shop, grocer, work, even family, but someone one that just irks you, in a way that makes you feel so off. You can genuinely act one way but for some reason or another this person gets the creepiest reactions out of you, your humor shuts off, your niceness gone. It really gets to me that a person can do this to me. I don’t like feeling like someone as a power over me, but this last one is awful for so many reasons, I mentally have to be nice to these people or at least cordial that’s how bad it is, because I feel like they are so off that want to go to the roof and break dance lol (Anna) And I don’t only have one of these people I have multiples! I keep thinking am I overly nice to some people that these poor souls are getting the shaft from me or is my internal creep-o-meter right? Just a thought.

Don't forget your night light!

Night, night....

It's So Hot We're Frying Cats and Waiting Till Fall.

Here he is Philip J. Fry Monkey, or Fry Monkey for short or Fry. Yes I have a Leela and now we are trying to adopt a Fry!!! He’s about 5 months old and supper cute! He loves bouncing off of walls and toes. Keep your fingers crossed, we find out if we have a kitty by the weekend!!!

Speaking of flanges, check out this amazing carrot I found. It is my thumbs doppelganger!! I couldn’t eat it; it was too weird like I was going to eat someone’s carrot covered finger…

All I want is a frozen Dr. Pepper; it’s so hot outside…

So I’m a happy girl today, well every day I can find something to be happy about. I sing and giggle, I go about my days smiling with secret jokes to myself. I was told the other day I was stand alone funny. I asked what that meant and they said that it means that when people seize to be around I’m still funny, so that means that some people need someone else around to be funny. (If a tree falls in the forest and no body sees did it really fall?) But most people I’ve ran into just call me “touched” or “special”.

I feel like being witchy, being magical. I love the mysterious the herby side of things. Sometimes when I’m baking or cooking, pretend I’m casting spells or at least baking with love, sending something of me into it, hoping an extra special ness comes across. Fall will be here soon and I hope JustAnUglyMonkey isn’t’ blown away by my love of the spooky. Really I think, the only decorations I own are fall and a Christmas tree. I can’t wait to buy a cinnamon broom and hang dried lavender for luck. Warm clothes, apple cider, ghosties and ghouls and scary movies!!

I sometimes feel like I am very witchy, maybe it comes with being born in the fall. I struggle with my feelings about the supernatural. I do honestly believe that some people have extra abilities. I believe that parents and loved ones can sense or feel others from far away. I like to believe that you can send vibes to the people you love or not so love, but I try to send only the love because I’m also in the mind set that there is something to be said about karma. I daily send my love to my Monkey, when I’m not with him, when he’s at work. Even when I’m not happy with him, I feel it bring a balance to things, a calm. I think that this is God at work. Although I may not say things out loud all the time, he hears me in my heart and puts things into motion and lets us know when things are wrong or all right. Is it strange to say I feel extra special because of Him? My “special powers” aren’t necessarily me; it is Him in me and me allowing that to flow, it’s not my power but His.  Just a thought, and probably not a very well thought out one at that, but still interesting. BUT! I love fall and all the fun that comes with it and I can’t wait for it to get here!

muahhahhahahhaha! bye!

Boom Shaka-laka! Zapo! A Blog!

I haven’t taken a photo of Timmy yet and that makes me sad. I’ll do it, I pet Timmy for inspiration. I’m on the verge of a great idea or story I’m sure of it it’s there just waiting for me to put it down. One of these nights I’m going to ignore the laundry, dishes and TV and put pen to paper or finger tips to keys and let the idea take over. Or maybe I’ll start on my Halloween costume.
Me and JustAnUglyMonkey have been decorating our house and we’ve really got into wall decals. Georgia showed us this site and we might get some huge ones for our walls but we’ll have to think up some good ideas for what we would like….

Leela and Daddy Have No Idea...

So I’ve hurt my right foot a long time ago while packing to move to the house and I’m trying not to let it bug me, but sometimes at work I limp a little big and I’ve tried turning it into a sexy walk…FAIL. Oh oh! And I’ve become a huge fan of several web sites including:

SOOOOOO funny! Check them out. NOW.

I babysat a guinea pig at my desk the other day, Peppy is his name peeing is his game, but he was so cute.

Okay time for bed, and I still haven’t taken the laundry out of the dryer. Oh well tomorrow is another day. Maybe I will be back with the chicken tree…
Peace out! Night, night reading babies!
