Just A Touch of Sweetness

…if you’ll fall for it!

In the blink of an eye

Some days I sit and look at my boys and I can’t believe how fast they’re growing up. It seems like just yesterday Kel was crawling around and before I know it, he’ll be asking me to pick him up some acne treatment. Okay, so he’s not quite ready for that, but he is growing faster than what I can keep up with. Both of them are. I can’t believe that the day will come when I won’t have little boys and I’ll have grown men as my sons. Ok, I’m going to go lock them both in a closet right now and do my best to never let them grow up. I love my boys and I just don’t think I’m going to ever let them leave their Momma. Of course I say that now. When Kel misbehaves tomorrow, I’m sure I’ll change my tune….and quickly!!

Make mine hot please

We’re only a family of four, but honestly, we are ALWAYS running out of hot water. We’ve constantly got people over to the house and I’m forever washing clothes or running the dishwasher and combine that with showers for all of us and there goes the hot water! I’d like to invest in a tankless water heaters. It’d be nice to know that there is always a supply of hot water at the ready. Of course it seems that I’m normally the one who gets to take the cold shower so I’m definitely going to be rooting for this purchase. If it means installing it myself, then so be it. At least after I’m done, I’ll be able to take a nice hot bath instead of feeling like an ice cube in the Artic!

Tortured is right…


You Are 59% Tortured Genius


You are very smart and a little bit tortured. Like a tortured genius in training.

You’re brilliant enough to see how screwed up the world is. Just don’t let it screw you up!

Double vision means double work

I’m going to have to go and get another pair of eyeglasses. I keep misplacing mine. I don’t wear them all the time so it’s not like they are constantly on my face. When I do find them, it’s as though I’ve laid them down in the most obscure of places. At least if I have a second pair, I’m more apt to be able to find one pair of them when I need them. Probably not though. I’ll probably just find even more obscure places to misplace the second pair which will then leave me searching through double the obscurity. I’m probably better off with just one. I know me all too well!

Something to ponder

I’ve thought about trying to get the boys another pet. They want an inside pet. I’m not so sure about that. I definitely don’t want a dog in the house and I’m not certain about a cat either. Plus, with a cat, you’ve got to have all of those cat supplies. You’ve got to have a litter box and the scooper thing and then you need a scratching post or something similar so the cat doesn’t you your expensive drapes as a climbing wall. Maybe I’ll get them a goldfish. Those are low maintenance and well, if something happens to it, then it just takes a trip to visit the Tidy Bowl Man. Yeah, a gold fish is definitely the way to go. Plus, I don’t have to scoop any poop!

If wishes were fishes…

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time for me to start leaving hints all around the house so my husband knows what to go out and buy for me. I mean, I’m not the type of woman who is wanting diamonds or luxury watches. I’d settle for some accessories for my camera or maybe a really nice tripod. I could always use a few new power tools as well. Of course, it doesn’t matter. I could tape an advertisement for something right to his forehead and he’d never be the wiser. Sometimes men just don’t get it. Then there is my husband. He NEVER gets it! *sigh*

Service with a frown

I hate going to Wal-Mart. Every single time I go in there, it’s an ordeal of some sorts. Today the cashier that I had looked as though she should be in some sort of drug treatment. She looked as though she hadn’t brushed her hair in a week and she obviously was NOT enjoying her job. I realize everyone has bad days, but really…when you work within the public arena, you really should try to take a little bit of pride in your appearance and try to have some sort of a good attitude. I know every day won’t be perfect, but at least try to be a good actress and put on a good front!

Inside versus Outside

I’ve never been one to watch a lot of movies. I don’t know what it is. I guess I’d rather just be outside with my boys or taking pictures. I like being out with nature and experiencing all that it has to offer. I might watch a few more movies if I had some nice home theater furniture. Yeah, probably not. I mean, then I’d have to have a soda machine in my kitchen and a popcorn machine with one of those butter pump thingies. I’m starting to think it’d be better for me to just stay outside and take pictures. I think watching movies might be hazardous to my waistline!

You Should Be a Politician


Confident, assertive, and dedicated - you know what you want in life and how to get it.

Stubborn and opinionated, you can stand your ground… even if it’s unpopular.

And while you have strong views, you never overwhelm people with your opinions.

A true charmer, you subtly influence people into seeing things your way.

You do best when you:

- Work according to your own rules

- Can change the world with what you do

You would also be a good lawyer or talk show host.

A frightening thought

All of this talk recently about tornadoes makes me nervous. I know that were we live, we’re prime to get one without much notice. It just seems that this spring, there has been an abundance of them all over the place. They’re even having tornadoes in places that rarely see them. It’s frightening to watch the t.v. and see the destruction. To see someone’s patio furniture embedded into a tree is kind of mind blowing. It just makes you realize how powerful these storms are and that when faced with one, we’re all pretty much helpless. I just hope the weather tones down a bit and we start seeing a pattern of mild rain showers and thunder storms. Soon!

Something to think about

I saw something neat in a magazine and I’m thinking of getting one for Jesse. I’d never thought about how he could benefit from something such as shower chairs. With just looking at it, it seems as though it’d be a great help to him being a little more independent with his bathing. However, I’d have to check out all of the logistics of it and make sure that he’d definitely be able to be in there by himself with this chair. I’d need to research out all of the safety factors and everything. I’ll look into it, but for now, I guess we will just stick to what we know best and what we know works for us.

Budget me this!

Keith and I are always trying to put ourselves on a budget. It’s not an easy thing to do, to be honest with you. I know it’s necessary, but frankly, I don’t like budgeting. I’m thinking of getting some budget software and maybe that will help us stay on track. If we can enter in all of our income and expenses into the program and it basically puts you on the budget, telling you how much to allocate for specifics. It still won’t be easy, but at least we’ll be more organized and it’ll look more official than a spiral notebook with the words “Budget” on the outside of it!

You Are Cherry Garcia Ice Cream


You’re the coolest cat around, but too laid back to let it get to your head

How odd is that?  Just by knowing my name, the little quiz is able to tell you exactly what kind of ice cream portrays me as an individual.  I don’t know about being a cool cat, but I’m definitely laid back and that’s just the way I like to be.  Life is too short to constantly be stressed out and running around in a frenzy.  I like me just the way I am.

I don’t wanna

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to have a man around the house. It seems like I have to do just as much of the “man” stuff around here as the actual Man! He needs to bulk up and get some muscle growth happening really soon here! I’m tired of being the manual labor and having to play She-Rah. I don’t want to move lumber and work on boats and things of that nature. I want soak in a bubble bath, give myself a pedicure and relish in the fact that I am a woman and not a MAN!

Fancy That

With all of the remodeling we’ve done around the house lately, it’s a wonder that I still like to think of things to change about the house. That’s how I am though. I’m not ever really satisfied until everything is just the way I envision it in my mind. And well, ya’ll know how my mind works, so that might take a while. I want it all “just so”! I’ve decided that I want to get new door hardware for our bedroom door. Don’t ask me why. I just want it changed out. I’d like a new doorknob put on. One of those fancy schmancy kinda things. No, I’m not a fancy person, but that doesn’t stop me from liking a few fancy things. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go outside with my fancy camera and take some real fancy pictures!

Shhh

I’m bored. I’ve nothing really to write about but yet I feel compelled to at least write something. Everyone is sleeping so it’s peaceful and quiet. Ahh…silence. I don’t get a lot of that around here lately. There is always someone making a ruckus and 9 times out of 10, it’s not even one of the kids. I think I’ll go sit out on my deck and just enjoy the evening breeze…in silence!!

A friendly reminder

Just a reminder, that Mother’s Day is right around the corner. No, I don’t have a gift for my Mamma yet. I have no idea what to get her anymore than I have an idea of what to get my Daddy. It’ll come to me at the last minute. It always does. BUT, for those of you who actually plan ahead, I’ve seen some beautiful mother’s ring designs online and those would make a great gift for your Mom. I’m kind of leaning towards it. I know I wouldn’t mind having one for myself but I’m not going to buy myself one and normally, if I don’t buy the gift for myself, then I just don’t get it. *sigh* Anyway, if I were going to buy for myself, this is the ring I’d like.
Beautiful isn’t it?

I love the look of it. And of course, it looks good with 2 stones just as well as it does with three or four stones. I also love the names inscribed on the ring. A lot of Mother’s Rings I’ve seen don’t have the names on the ring next to the stone. Let’s face it, with everything I’ve been going through lately, I need a reminder now and again of my kid’s names. Any frazzled mom would, don’t you agree? So yeah, I love this ring. And you know what? I might get it for myself after all. I deserve it!

Just call me Flash!

I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off lately. I seriously have been going 90 to none. It’s good though. I like this rate of activity that I’m at right now. Between Jesse and his therapy appointments and chasing after Kel as well as everything else I have going on, it’s as though I’ve been taking hoodia weight loss pills or something. It’s this darn camera of mine that I got. It’s keeping me out of the house, off of the computer and opened up a whole new world for me. I’m liking this new world too. Gotta run…more stuff to do!

Wanna tell me why?

Honestly, it’s as though every single day I come across an individual who is just a zit on the face of society! Seriously…why do people like this exist? They’re ignorant, intolerant, rude and frankly I’m looking for the best acne treatment possible to abolish them from the face of the earth as well as the face of society. I can handle a lot of things in life. I’ve more than proven that, but I cannot handle mean, nasty people. I see no reason for them to even have a place in life! That is all. My rant here is done!

Hold up, wait a minute…or better yet, a month

We haven’t even hit Mother’s Day and I’m already seeing ads to remind me about Father’s Day. Give me a chance to conquer one before you hit me with another, will ya? I have no idea what to get my Daddy. He’s a tough man to buy for. It’s not as though he’s into new pocket watches and things of that nature. He’s more likely to want a new pocket knife versus a pocket watch. Maybe I’ll just play it safe and bake him a cake. You can never go wrong cake. Nothing says I love you like cake…with lots of frosting. Shoot, now I’m hungry! I always do this to myself at this time of night!

Older, but not wiser…

I’ve learned a lot from my sisters over the years. Some good things, some not so good things. There comes a time when you have to learn to think for yourself, and no longer follow. I wish I’d have learned that before Friday. My sister and I went out riding in the woods, having some nice, quiet time together. I took a wrong turn and we wound up at the river. No big deal. She wants to get off and go watch the river flow. No big deal. She wants us to climb down the river bank and sit on the edge of the water. No big deal. I sit. I watch. I listen. She spies something floating down the river and asks if it’s just a limb. I nod to say yes and go back to watching the river in front of me. She mentions that it’s getting closer. I nod, still not paying it any attention. She mentions that it’s getting really close and she’s scared and going back up top. I looked over at it for about 2 seconds, turned and grabbed two handfuls of her ass and started shoving her up the bank. I took a quick picture before it went under the water… Can you tell what it was?

Changed Back

I am currently going back to using my old theme, because I just realized that when you click to see an individual post, it’s showing Google ads. That’s pretty sneaky… Hiding something like that in there so that you can make money from it being shown on my site. Well, I hope you choke on those three pennies I made you and I hope you’re buried in equestrian clothing and no one comes to see your lonely grave. Yes, that is what just a touch of sweetness is all about. Just a touch.

My sister gave our Mama a puppy last Christmas. If she’d have known how bad that puppy would have grown up to stink, I think she would have changed her mind. She may be cute, but don’t let it fool you. She gets bathed all the time, and yet, still stinks. She likes long walks through the woods, snuggling on the couch, and sailing off the porch for her stuffed animal that I think used to be a turtle.

T.I.R.E.D.

I am seriously sleepy, but can’t sleep yet because I still have stuff to do. I spent the weekend with my parents and I won’t go into details about that other than to say that it was a nice weekend filled with lots of talking. I’m not sure why I’m so tired because I slept in a big comfy bed all alone for the first time in a long time, unless it’s due to stress. Anyways, I enjoyed it, but woke up stiff as I don’t know what each morning. I think that’s why my Mama always uses a sleep wedge when she sleeps back there. The bed is unbelievably soft, yet, unbelievably uncomfortable. Yeah, I’m glad to be home.

Proud Mama

I’ve been homeschooling Jesse for quite a while now, and it’s been a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. He’s unbelievably smart, he was born like that, it’s not from me. Teaching him requires little effort, because he just seems to “get it”. The only problem that we’ve encountered is his handwriting. I’ve never been able to figure it out, but his OT did. She taught us several hand exercises to do and it’s made a world of difference. She also taught us a method of using boxes to write in, instead of lined paper and that’s really helped also. It’s amazing what holding a button in your hand while writing can do. The OT has a few more things in mind to fine tune his hand control, but is currently looking for who has the best buy so that we don’t end up spending a fortune on this. He’s worked really hard on this, and I am so proud.

Why?

I haven’t been able to get to my control panel thingy (not this part, but the other one where everything is) for some time. I finally got in tonight, thinking that I would change my theme and saw a message for me to upgrade wordpress. I wish I had of left it alone. I don’t like this at all. I’d go back to the old one if I knew how, I don’t even know if it’s possible. I suppose I’ll get used to this, but the old one was better. Just saying…

Need Something To Do?

If so, you should join an online community. We all need more friends and online is the easiest place to make them. You can join 3gb community www.3gb.biz, I was just there and have already seen a few profiles of people that I already know, so I should fit right in, or as well as I ever fit in. You can create your profile, upload pictures, listen to music, chat with others, or kill some time by browsing other profiles. Oh yeah, it’s free also, so you have nothing to lose.

Have yall seen/heard of that show? It’s an exercise program that teaches belly dancing. I’ve always thought that I could dance, but quickly found out that I really can’t. Well, not like that. I think I’ll try to stick with it though, might be able to learn a few new tricks… Me… A belly dancer… It could happen!

I hate it

I really hate driving. Not only because of it making me extremely tired, but I’m nervous the entire time. I drive down the same highway almost every Thursday to take Jesse to and from therapy, and normally see a wreck along the way. That’s what makes me so nervous. People tend to not stop at stop signs and end up slamming into someone. It drives me crazy. The last wreck I saw involved a dump truck, a pick-up truck and a small car. I’m pretty sure the dump truck ran the stop sign, but I didn’t stop to find out. He’d better find himself a truck accident lawyer quickly, if he hasn’t already. So many accidents could be avoided if people would just slow down and be more careful.

Cold

I’m not liking this weather at all. We were in the 80’s last week and now we’re barely making it into the 60’s. I know, I shouldn’t be complaining because it isn’t THAT cold, but it’s windy and that makes it that much cooler. I was about ready to jump into the pool last week and now the water’s freezing again. It should be better tomorrow… Going to start getting close to 80 again. I think I’ll make it.

My/His Laptop

It seems that Keith has taken a liking to my laptop. Every time I turn around, he’s sitting there with it on his lap. I didn’t mind it at first, until I realized that he’s downloading music onto it. I use it very little and don’t download anything onto it because it doesn’t have as much memory as I would like it to have. Either he has to quit and start using the desktop like I do, or I’ll have to buy more laptop memory for it. I really don’t want to spend money on that at the moment because I have my eye on something else… Yes, I’m that greedy.

Looking Up

Although my life isn’t at it’s greatest moment right now, I’m trying to stay positive and enjoy what I do have. I received an email from a sister of mine this week that really shocked me. It was from the same sister that I had problems with a while back over her thinking that my parenting skills were not up to par… It was a complete turn around, and was full of encouragement on the great job that I do with my kids. It’s funny how life gives you help when you’re down and out.

Where I’ve Been

Well, I’ve been here, just not actually here. I’ve started doing yoga. I’ve wanted to do it for a long time, but was never motivated. Some time Saturday night, that motivation found me and I’ve been enjoying it. I really thought it was just calming and relaxing, but I was a little wrong. I’ve ended each session sweating. I really do love it, though. And it doesn’t require any equipment like Precor elliptical, although I wouldn’t mind having some. Anyways, that’s where I’ve been.

Darkness

Have you ever felt like you were surrounded by darkness? You never get to actually feel the sunlight, even though you’re sitting directly in it? You take deep breaths, and still feel suffocated? You want to cry, but have no tears? I feel like I’ve lost everything, and yet, nothing has changed.

Long Time Coming

We are finally all insured. It wasn’t cheap, but it needed to be done. It’s kind of a nice feeling to know that if something were to happen, that we’ll be covered. We now have medical and life insurance. At least, I think we do. It turned out that after almost 10 years of marriage, Keith didn’t exactly know my full name, so we have to get that changed and then we should be set. No more searching for term life insurance quotes for me.

Crash & Burn

I’ve been doing good lately. I’ve been in a really good mood lately, life’s been going well, but it seemed to end yesterday. I’m not sure what caused it, I think it was a mixture of things. I’d like to write out all of the thoughts in my head, but I’d rather keep it to myself and hope it just goes away.

Wanna Get Naked?

I know, I should use titles like that with some of you out there, but it was too cute to pass up. I’m not really getting naked over here, just telling you about a great natural shampoo called Naked Naturals. The one I tried is lavender scented and smelled really good. It left my hair feeling clean and refreshed. It contains awapuhi extract that helps to soften and moisturize you hair. My hair gets very dry, especially during the summer, and this will help a lot. It also has lavender which stimulates hair growth, replenishes your hair and scalp, and smells really nice. We all need to take care of our hair, and the stronger it is, the better. This shampoo can make your hair up to seven times stronger. Although my hair is fairly strong now, it can’t hurt for it to be a little stronger. It contains no harsh chemicals, contains no animal by-products, and is not tested on animals. We should always check for that, because animal testing is just cruel. You can visit their website to learn more, but you should buy some and try it for yourself so that you can really see the benefits of using naked naturals shampoo and conditioner.

Boo!

I was so ready for winter to be over, but now I’m beginning to dread summer. I can take the heat better than I can the cold, but let’s face it, it gets too hot down here. I wish it could be fall all year long, but I can’t have it all. I don’t even want to think about putting on a bathing suit. I need to drag out the old treadmill and stay on it for a few weeks non-stop. Maybe then, I’d be a little more prepared for the itty bitty fashions. I miss the days of being able to do nothing and still have a slender body. Getting older sucks in ways.

Is it you?

I got the glasses a few months ago, I think, and I think I’m already needing new ones. I can tell that I’m not seeing nearly as well as I should, but I’m putting off going and getting new ones because they’re so expensive. I should start buying cheap eyeglasses and saving me a bit of money. I wish I had several pairs, so that I could change up my look a bit. I get tired of looking the same way every single day.

Behind

Can you tell that I’m behind on things around here? Well, yeah, I am. I really haven’t spent much time around a computer lately. I spend most of my days sitting outside with my boys. I could take the laptop out, but the battery dies so quickly in it, and I probably wouldn’t pay much attention to it anyways. We should have power ran out on the porch pretty soon, so then I’ll take it out and plug it up. I don’t really plan to be online very much, it’s an addiction that I must break, well, I pretty much already have.

Not Good Enough

Kel has became obsessed with tractors. He will be sound asleep, wake up and whisper the word “tractor…” and drift back off to sleep. I bought him several toys that are tractors or dump trucks, or something of that nature, and now it’s not good enough. He wants a real tractor. Now, I may not be the smartest person in the world, but I’m not about to go and spend all that money for a tractor that he can’t even drive. It’s amazing how big kids see themselves.

Must Buy

I guess I am going to have to break down and buy a new chair. This one is starting to fall apart. It had a little snag on the arm, and Kel decided to play with it and has now torn it badly. I’m not sure how the snag got there, probably from someone climbing in and out of it without sliding it back… Whatever, I’m not taking the blame for it. Anyways, I’m wanting one of those really nice leather office chairs. They look so comfy and I’m all about comfort. I loved the one I had when I worked, the only problem was that I always fell asleep in it in the afternoons, but that would be ok because I am my boss now.

Hobbies

I seem to bounce from one hobby to the next. I’ve started bird watching and am loving it. I’ve taken several pictures and identified the birds and am now making an album of all the birds I’ve found. Jesse is getting into this with me. Wanna see a few of our finds? I know you do, so I won’t even wait for you to ask. Here ya go:

It Rocks!

Ok, you can either watch the video to find out why buy.com rocks or you can read on, my guess is that you’ll watch the video and laugh at me. Be nice, you wouldn’t believe how many times I tried to make it, only to have the sound all screwed up. Anyways, on to the rest of the story. I really do love shopping online, and Buy.com makes it so easy. You can find lots of my favorite things there like computers, cameras, and jewelry. The prices are really great and they have a price comparison engine where you can compare their prices with other sellers. You have no idea of how much I really like the customer reviews. It’s seriously what sold me on the camera I bought. Being able to see someone that owns in, holding it and telling you all about it really helped, and it was needed because I was really worried about spending that kind of money and possibly not liking it. I ended up loving it, which is a really good thing. So, now you know why buy.com rocks and can go on over and shop now.

Just so you know…

I’m sitting outside on my NEW back porch and am loving it… We’ve had a lot of wind lately and it makes me feel like I’m at the ocean, which is one place I love to be. The frogs are going crazy and it reminds me of my childhood, which took place across the road, believe it or not… Yeah, I didn’t go far when I got married. Anyways, I’m enjoying this and wish you could be here enjoying it with me.

Finished

My sister came down yesterday afternoon to let me know that her divorce was finally finished. I don’t think she’s very happy about it, but it really is the best thing for her. He was never good to her, and was even worse to her girls. I couldn’t put up with someone mistreating my kids. I really feel bad for him. He’s had a drug problem for as long as I’ve known him, and that’s quite a few years, and he doesn’t want help. He doesn’t understand that if he doesn’t get into some type of addiction treatment program, and stick to it, that he’s never going to get better. I don’t see him living much longer if he doesn’t, and that’s going to be really sad.

Play Time

Since we’ve been spending so much time outdoors lately, the boys have been spending some much needed time playing out there as well. Did you know that a trampoline makes a great babysitter? Well, it does. We drug it around to the back side of the house where we’ve been working and gave the boys chalk. They will sit there for hours, drawing and playing and it has been a great help. Working while watching kids is almost impossible, but we managed.

Cookies… Mmmm…


You Are a Black and White Cookie


You’re often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.
When you’re good, you’re sweet as sugar. And when you’re bad, you’re wicked!

What Kind of Cookie Are You?

You have no idea of just how pulled I feel at the moment. Torn would be an understatement, but I won’t go into details. I’m always sweet as sugar, even if it is in a wicked way. Who doesn’t love wicked? Now, go find out what kind of cookie you are and report back to me.

So Sad

I am definitely one to tell you to make sure you have health insurance, even though I am one that doesn’t have it. My Mama applied for some type of insurance for her and Daddy a few days ago and they were declined because of some stupid reason. It really sucks because I know how expensive their visits are and insurance would help out a great deal. I’ll be telling her about the medicare advantage so she can see if they qualify. They really need some kind of relief on medical bills.

Bored

I have absolutely nothing to do. It sucks when you find something to keep yourself busy and then it ends and you’re left with nothing to do. That’s where I’m at right now. We need more wood to finish the porch, so I can’t do that. I have Kel here, so I can’t go out to take pictures. My sister let him eat candy the entire time she had him today, so he’s pretty much bouncing off the walls. The time change has really messed him up. He’s staying up way too late and slept very late this morning. I’m not complaining about him sleeping later though. It was really nice to sleep until 9:30 this morning. I could get used to that.

Free for all

Everyone that comes to my home knows that if you see something you want, I’ll give it to you. In my opinion, the emptier my house is, the better. It makes it a lot easier for Jesse to move around as well. When I find something that gets in his way, I tend to move it into the back room and once in a while, someone will go in there and drag a bunch of stuff home with them. My Mama went in there today and picked out a bunch of things that she wants me to give to my niece for her new home, which is a good thing. I was running out of places to store more junk. I’m currently trying to decide what I want to do with the den. I am really loving the new doors and the porch is awesome, so I want to keep the room fairly open so I can see everything outside. To do this, I need to get rid of more furniture. I’d like to move the tv and games into the living room and make it more of a family room. It would be cool to have some home theater chairs in here. I think I’d have to move the computer to a different area though. I couldn’t have them around me while I’m trying to concentrate… A girl does need her own space. I guess I should finish the porch before I start worrying about new projects though.

Heads Up, Angry

Sorry, just got your comment as I started to write this and thought it would make a cute title…. Anyways, I’ve been slightly irritated lately. I’ve been without internet quite a bit lately, and when I do have it, my site is down. It’s really getting on my nerves. It’s bad to be addicted to things like this, I know, but dammit, I am and I can’t do a thing about it. I called to let them know that it was out and “Sam” had me sit on hold for a long time while he “ran tests” and came back to tell me that there was an outage in my area… I already knew that, they didn’t, that’s why I called them so that they would know and could fix it. “Sam” went on with his little foreign accent and asked me to speak slower and more clearly… That’s what pissed me off. I’m from the freaking South, I can’t talk much slower. Idiots… All idiots.  Ok, Angry, you can settle down now.

Ideas

Everyone’s always looking for ways to make their websites more known. A very simple, easy and inexpensive way is to use business cards. Seriously, they’re so quick and easy to create and all you have to do is hand them out or leave them somewhere that a lot of people visit. If you like this idea, and you should, you can go to create your very own logo design at Logoyes.com. In just a few easy steps, you can create your very own custom business cards, and trust me, when I say that it was easy, you can believe it. You can choose from many categories to get just the right logo image, then just add your text, pick your colors, and you are done. Well, except for the ordering part, which is also simple. You can see the one that I created below that took less than 3 minutes to make. See? I told you it was quick. Now, go on over and try it out.

I admit it

I thought I was tired before, but I was wrong. Now, I’m tired. Seriously. I’ve been putting every extra ounce of energy into trying to finish the porch and it has finally drained me. My everything aches. The porch looks really good, though. I just wish it was finished. We have 2 boards left on the floor, then we get to put the sides on. I’m sure that’ll be a blast. At least, when it’s finished, I’ll get back to spending more time online again. That’s not the only reason I’ve been away, but I’ll bitch about that another time.

It’s time

I seriously have to go buy some new clothes. Since the start of these “home improvement” projects, I have ripped 2 pairs of jeans on nails. I ripped my favorite sweater this morning by getting it caught on a board. I have to get some new clothes or I’m going to have nothing left to wear. I might end up having to go to the grocery store wearing only women’s lingerie. Wouldn’t that be a sight for the bag boy? Oh, how I love the bag boys!

“The Door”

This is the door. This is the door that we put in. This is the door that we put in our den. This is the door that we put in our den that took way longer to install than expected. This is the door that we put in our den that took way longer to install than expected that caused me to crash on the couch that night. This is the door that we put in our den that took way longer to install than expected that caused me to crash on the couch that night that caused me to have a sore neck the next morning.
