Oh the Trouble...and an Award!

First the award...Marguerite from Cajun Delights gave me this great award! Who doesn't love to hear that they make people smile??

I was so happy when I found her blog, she's a fellow Cajun and she only lives about 30 minutes from my hometown in Louisiana. If you like Cajun food you MUST check out her blog. She shares some of the yummiest recipes there. Thanks Marguerite, how sweet of you!

I'm gonna share this one with Mimi  and Daffy, they both make me laugh almost every day! ♥ you girls! Y'all go check out their blogs if you haven't already!

Now for the trouble. OMG y'all...my laptop is being a bitch right now! First my PS was moving slower than a snail for the last few days. I couldn't get shit done on it. So I did a disk clean up on the laptop and then decided to defrag it. It was defrag'ing for three days and still wasn't even half way done! I got frustrated and stopped it. Right now I'm uninstalling PS and I'm gonna reinstall it to see if that will help. I did find that PS had "stored" 150, 000 thumbnails on my computer. It took over an hour just to delete those damn things!

Well, just wanted to let y'all know that I'm still alive, just trying to get my laptop back in working order! Trust me...I'm so ready to get rid of this Christmas layout. Be on the lookout for a new look lol.

I got an award! 30 Days of Truth.

Marguerite over at Cajun Delights gave me this award. Thank you so much girl, that was so sweet of you! If y'all haven't checked out her blog, you should! She has some amazing recipes over there! Good ol' Cajun cooking! 

 In order to accept this award, I must answer the 10 questions below and pass the award to six fellow bloggers.

1. If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing it that way; if you are not anonymous do you wish you had started out anonymously so you could be anonymous now? I blog publicly, though not many people in my "real life" know about it. I wish I would have gone the anonymous route.

2. Describe one incident that shows your inner stubborn side.
Haha...there are lots of these. When I was in high school the principle told my physical science class that we had to write a 5 page report because we wouldn't tell him who stole a tuning fork (wth??) from the teacher. I knew who'd taken it but wasn't going to be a "narc." I wasn't about to write a 5 page report for something I didn't do either! I ended up going into ISS for two days because I stood my ground.

3. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the face in the mirror?
My (hazel) eyes and my nose ring lol

4. What is your favorite summer cold drink?
pink lemonade sno cones, if you're talking of the "adult" variety then I'd have to say a frozen margarita! yums!

5. When you take time for yourself, what do you do?
taking time for myself is usually getting my hair done lol.

6. Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life? What is it?
Get my GED. I'm starting classes tomorrow.

7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever, the class shy person, or always ditching school? Describe who you were if not one of these.
I was shy as hell in school!

8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment in your life, what do you see?
My son graduating.

9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people or events?
It's all me, all the time lol. Why be your "fake" self? haha

10. If you had the choice to sit and read or talk on the phone, which would you do and why?
Considering I despise talking on the phone, and I love to read, we'll go with reading!!

I'm gonna pass this one onto my 6 newest followers, (that I could find blogs for!) thank you so much for following my blog!!

Enjoy ladies!

Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.

I think it's not our government's job to tell people who they can marry. I think that everyone has the right to be married to whoever they want to be. I think that everyone has the right to be happy. It's not like telling gay people that they can't get married is going to make them go away! WTH?

I can't believe that in this day and age we're still talking about this. I mean really... 

LET THEM GET MARRIED ALREADY! 

30 Days of Truth, Day 15. Pictures and an Award!

  

Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
This one would have to be my wonderful husband.

I swear y'all...I look at his picture of him and I melt. Those eyes! Don and I met online. We had a mutual friend and one day I left a smart ass comment on the friends profile, Don replied to my comment and from then on, we talked every single day! At first, it was just as friends.  Honestly, he had this horrible picture of himself, and I wasn't attracted to him at all. And...it's not like either one of us were looking for someone. We weren't.

Anyhotness....he posted this picture of himself and it was love at first sight. It's funny, we talked for about a six months before he posted this pic. When he posted the picture he actually had a girlfriend. So I kept my feelings for him to myself. I'll never forget the day he told me that he and his girlfriend broke up. I'd never been so excited lol.

That's when we really started exploring our feelings for each other. It started out slowly though. We'd flirt with one another. Shamelessly. But still, I kept how I really felt to myself. I didn't want to scare him off. A couple of months later he left to go to Myrtle Beach Bike Week. So, he wouldn't be online much.

I was miserable. We texted each other a little bit. But seriously, the man was at bike week lol, he wasn't about to spend all of his time texting me!! I moped around for the entire week.

When he got home from bike week he told me that he missed me like crazy, and that he realized he was developing feelings for me. I'll never forget how my heart was racing that day lol. What an amazing feeling.

Soon after that we started talking on webcam. We would spend hours on there. Just talking, and laughing. We spent so much time getting to know one another. I think that's what makes our relationship one of the most honest relationships I've ever been in.

Then....Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. It wasn't too bad in my hometown, but we had no electricity and no cell service. That meant that Don and I had no way of getting in touch with each other. Poor Don, he had no idea if I was safe, if I was ok...nothing. He actually started smoking again during the storm.

Right after Katrina, Hurricane Rita hit my hometown, bad. Our area was flooded, bad. It's one of the worst things I'd ever seen. This is the Port of Iberia.

This is actually Rusty's Dad's next door neighbor. Rusty's Dad and six of his other family members live on the same street. They had (at one point) 7ft of water in their houses. Rusty's great grandparents found their deep freezer from their outdoor kitchen, behind the house across the street when the water finally receded.

 

It was horrible, it was depressing, it was sad. We worked for days helping people clean up the mess. The smell, OMG the smell was horrendous. There was dead livestock all over the place. Uugh...

When Don and I were finally able to talk again we decided that we weren't going to waste anymore time. He bought his tickets to come to Louisiana not long after that. We'd already decided that I was going to move to NC, so at the same time he got the tickets to come to LA to meet me, he got my tickets to move to NC.  (Though this was late September, his vacation wasn't until April. So we still had to wait until then for us to meet.)  He was coming to LA on April 1st, I was moving to NC April 20th. Nineteen days later lol!

I'll never forget how nervous I was the day he got there. Just sitting in the airport waiting for his plane to land was excruciating! The minute he walked off of that plane and wrapped his arms around me, all was right in my world. It's like we'd known each other forever. We packed so many things into the four days that he was down there with me. I introduced him to Rusty, and my sisters.

I took him to all of my favorite places in my hometown. He fell in love with Cajun food, and Community coffee lol. I even took him to Mulate's, a really great Cajun restaurant. (See all that stuff on the ceiling? Those are business cards, and somewhere in there is one of Don's business cards with our names on it!!)

This is us that night.

This is at my sisters office, we stopped there on our way to bring Don to the airport on his way home. It doesn't show, but we were both so depressed. We didn't want to let each other go. He actually missed his flight home, twice lol. We kept going outside to have a smoke and sit in my car. Poor thing was exhausted by the time he got home. Those were the 19 longest days of my life.

This is the first picture that was taken of us after I moved to NC. Our first Easter together. A couple of years ago Don hid an engagement ring in my xmas stocking. We decided to get married. We'd talked about it a bunch when we spent all of those hours on line. We both decided if we got married we wanted to do it at the beach!

We rented this huge house down in Corolla, NC. Most of our family came and five friends (who actually invited themselves lol) were there to celebrate our special day with us. We spent a glorious week enjoying this house, and the beach. Let me tell you though, four flights of stairs?? Omg...this house seriously needed an elevator lol.

There were no nerves that day, just smiles, lot's of happiness.

There has never been a moment since that I regretted this day. Not one.

He's a wonderful man, he takes such good care of me. He honestly treats me like a princess. I know that I'm the most important woman (other than his kids) in his life. No doubt in my mind.

I mean...the man drove 40 miles while we were on our honeymoon just to get me my drink from The Buckins' (Starbucks)! That's love people! Lol...




So yeah, I've tried living without him. I did it for over two years. All we had was text, phone calls, and web cam "dates." But, we wouldn't trade it for the world. When we tell people that we met online they look at us like we're crazy. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been asked "Weren't you scared that he might be an axe murderer or something?" To which I always reply "Well, we spent two years getting to know each other on line. I don't think a serial killer would spend that much time getting to know me just to bump me off and chop me into tiny little pieces!" Lmao....that always gets great looks! haha

He has my heart and nothing will ever change that. And hell y'all, did I mention those eyes?? Whew....









And now onto other business, Gen gave me this award last week and I keep forgetting to post it! I'm so sorry girl, I really appreciate the award!!

The way this award works is you must:

a) Thank the person who gave you this award
I just took care of that!!

b) Tell 7 things about yourself
Hmmm....
1. I once named a dog Dixie, just so I could go outside and yell "Dix, where are you?" "Come on Dix, come and get it!" haha...yeah, my neighbors loved me!

2. I was born in NC, grew up mostly in TN until I was 12, then we moved to LA. Once you move to Louisiana, it's in your blood. I consider myself just as much a "coonass" as someone who was born there. I dare anyone to tell me any different!!

3. I didn't realize that my arms are double jointed until Don tried to teach me how to golf. Yeah...that didn't go well.

4. I've recently found my love for reading all over again. Since I got my laptop for xmas I haven't touched a book lol. Believe it or not, the last four nights in a row I've gone to bed at a decent hour, I read for an hour or two and then go to sleep. With no sleeping pills. I mean really? I take Ambien every night to help me sleep and lately even that hasn't helped. And for the last four nights I've gone to sleep without any help at all. Wow! (Note....it's almost 3 am as I'm writing this lol!)

5. My Son is turning 21 in 10 days. It's killing me. My baby is growing up, I feel it more and more every day... he doesn't need me anymore. Even though I know that's not exactly true, it still hurts. It seems like the time has flown by. I can remember him the day he was born, all 3 lbs of him, laying there just looking at me. My life has never been the same, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

6. I'm itching for another tattoo, even though I haven't finished my cover up. We actually went by the tattoo shop today to schedule an appointment to finish it. They were closed. Damn it.

7. I'm totally addicted to "reality" TV. I just discovered The Bad Girls Club, Jerserylicious, The Real Housewives of Jersey....I'm totally hooked, on all of them!

c) nominate 15 newly discovered blogs to share this award!

15? Holy sweet baby Hey-Sus (Jesus)!! That's a lot of friggin' people lol! I'll give it a go though!

30 Days of Truth...Day 5. Awards time...........

Day 05 → Something you hope to do in your life.

I hope to grow old with my husband. I hope to make him as happy as he makes me every single day. I hope to travel with him. I hope to take him home to Louisiana and show him even more of my favorite places. I want to see it through his eyes like I did the first time he was there.

I hope to watch my son grow up. I hope to meet my grand kids, to bake cookies with them. I hope to baby sit them and let them spend summers at my house the way I used to do with my grand mother. I hope to pick blackberries with them and go home and make yummy desserts with them.

I hope to get finish my GED this year. (Will be starting back by next week!!) I hope to figure out what in the hell I want to do with myself after that. I hope to sign up for some classes. I hope to get a degree, for something. As soon as I figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

Y'all may remember recently that I made up my own award. Well since not one person that I gave it to (ya stinkers lol) posted it in their blog or gave it away to anyone else, I thought I'd give it to 10 more people and see if I can get this thing going. If not, I guess this is the end of it!

The rules are going to be fairly simple. All you have to do is answer the 10 questions. And pick 10 people (or if you're feeling "Naughty" you can just do 5, or none at all) to pass it along to, then let them know that you've given it to them!

1. What is the silliest prank you ever played on someone?

2. If you could take a trip anywhere out of the country where would you go? Why?

3. Who plays the most influential role in your life?

4. Are you ok with your significant other being friends with an ex?

5. Favorite candle scent?

6. Next movie you're excited about seeing?

7. You must ban one word from the dictionary and all usage, to be no longer uttered or written. What word do you ban?

8. Do you have any relatives in jail?

9. What crazy fads were popular when you were a teenager.

10. Have you ever been mentioned in a newspaper or on TV?

Here's the 10 people I'd like to give it to.

I hope you all enjoy and have fun with it! I'm having a flare today so I'm stuck on the couch today, yay! Fun! Not!

Time Warner Cable is making our lives miserable right now! Awards too!

Last week I noticed that we were having trouble with our internet connection. It would just "go off" all of a sudden. I would have to go unplug the modem and router and wait a couple of minutes like forever, just sayin'!! and then plug it back in. That seemed to work.

On Monday Don noticed that our DVR/cable box wasn't working right. Our guide wouldn't come up. And the DVR clock was stuck on 12:00. Do you know what happens when it's stuck on 12:00? Not a damn thing. You can't schedule any reminders, you can't record anything. NOTHING. How can you schedule something at 8 pm when it's 12:00 all day long? YOU CAN'T!!!

He spent about an hour on the phone with TWC. (After getting disconnected once) Apparently they're switching over to fiber optics and a lot of people here (in our town) are having problems with their cable. So many people that the earliest date they can get here to work on it is the 23rd. Are you fuckin' kidding me? That's 13 days (from the date that it broke)  people. 13 days with no DVR. Hell we can't even see what's on.

While he was on the phone with them I was in the middle of updating my Ipod Touch. The I lost the internet connection AGAIN. Do you know what happens when you lose your internet connection while updating your Ipod? It kills it. I had to do restore my Ipod back to the day I bought it. I lost everything. I lost my music. I lost all of my games. (I had a lot!) I was pissed. I was cussing.

Thank God that Itunes saves most of your stuff.  I did lose quite a few of my games and some of my music but I can live with that. I was scared that my Ipod was ruined!!

I was so tired yesterday (I'd been up all night the night before, I've been up all night last night as well!) that I was doing silly shit lol. I cut a piece of cake and was cleaning up my mess. I picked up the cake plate, opened the cabinet door and went to put the cake...in the cabinet! Lol...I don't think I need to being anything that takes serious concentration today!

I was looking at all the swimsuits on VS because they're having a HUGE sale on them. I saw this...

Call me crazy, but there's not a lot of places you can wear this. And who would want that damn tan line anyway? Now, I'm not that dumb people. I do realize that it can be worn like this...

But still...that tan line?? But hell, if I had a body like that, maybe I would wear it??

So I have exciting news! Since I couldn't sleep and I was bored I decided to make up my own award. It's called the Naughty Or Nice Award.

The rules are going to be fairly simple. All you have to do is answer the 10 questions. And pick 10 people (or if you're feeling "Naughty" you can just do 5, or none at all) to pass it along to, then let them know that you've given it to them! Since this is my first time giving the award out I'm going to answer the questions myself!

1. What is the silliest prank you ever played on someone?
While walking into my Sister's house one day my Godchild hid behind the door and scared the ever living shit out of me. She left not long after that to go pick up a couple of her friends. While she was gone, I went into her room and duct taped her (wireless) mouse to the bottom of her chair. It took her a week to find it. Kudos to my sister for not telling her where it was!

2. If you could take a trip anywhere out of the country where would you go? Why?
Ireland. I want to kiss the Blarney Stone.

3. Who plays the most influential role in your life?
My son. I forgot to mention in the above entry that Rusty took a test, to get his CDL permit (he's trying to get a promotion at work) twice last week. The first time he only passed one section (out of three) of the test. He went back the next day and passed two, still failed one though. He went Monday and he did it! He got his CDL permit. He has to drive with someone who already has their CDL for three months and then he'll be able to take the test for the actual license. Once he gets the license he'll be able to go on "offshore" jobs. He wont actually be working offshore on oil rigs, he'll be working on land jobs! He's really excited about getting out of the shop. It means a huge pay raise for him. It also means that he'll be eligible for the bonuses like my ex gets. (The last time my ex got a bonus it was $20,000)! I'm so proud of him. That kid has some determination!! He could have given up after failing the test twice!

4. Are you ok with your significant other being friends with an ex?
Sure, his ex is awesome. She's really coo, she's "good people!" Hell, I'd hang out with her even if hubby wasn't there!

5. Favorite candle scent?
I  like sandalwood and vanilla (not to girly for hubby). I also like creme brulee. Damn things make your house smell like your baking a cake!! So yummy.

6. Next movie you're excited about seeing?
The Expendables! I love action movies. Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Forrest Whitaker, Jet Li, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terry Crews, Randy Couture,  Dolph Lundgren, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. You can't ask for more in an action flick!

7. You must ban one word from the dictionary and all usage, to be no longer uttered or written. What word do you ban?
Like. I mean...Like, don't you just like hate it like when like every like other like word like is like? Just sayin'!

8. Do you have any relatives in jail?
Not anymore! Haha! Seriously, I had a cousin who was in prison for about 15 years for drugs. He was released a few years ago, and he's doing great. He was VERY young when he was arrested. Scary!

9. What crazy fads were popular when you were a teenager?
Neon clothing.

Lacey clothing (think Madonna).  

 and big shoulder pads....

10. Have you ever been mentioned in a newspaper or on TV? 
Yes. About my little sister's death. That's another blog entry for a later date.

 Now for the 10 people I'd like to give it to first....
My BBM ladies. I realize that most of you don't "do" awards, so you don't have to participate...but it'd be fun if you would. (Not to mention...it's the only way to pass on the award lol!)

New look and awards!

So....do you love it? The new look I mean! This layout has been a major pain in my ass has taken me over a month to get it just the way I wanted it. It's still not exactly how I wanted it, but it's close enough! I love the color scheme!! There are the two pics that inspired the layout!

Aren't they gorgeous? I just love the color combinations so much that I decided to design a layout with the same colors! I'd love to hear what y'all think about it!

 I know...I change my layout as much as I do my drawers (actually, I don't wear 'em!), I can't help it! I like to change the look up from time to time!

If you read my blog post from yesterday then you know that I've been worried about my Dad because of his health issues and I'm bummed because I can't be there to help.

Today one of my readers was so sweet, she cheered me right up. She gave me an award!!  Small Town Girl (Honey, I'm so sorry but for the life of me I can't remember you name!! I'm terrible!!) at How much longer till Friday Gave it to me.

 And it's not just any award either! It's the Master of karate and friendship award lol! So in true awards "fashion" I'm supposed to name 5 things that I've mastered. It might take me a couple of hours to do this lol. J/k.

1. I can almost get all of my tanning lotion rubbed in before they turn the tanning bed on. So I don't get stuck much with lotion in my hand trying to hurry up and rub it in so I can jump in the tanning bed. Go me!

2. I've almost mastered my new car stereo. Though I do sometimes mess up the speakers (the balance and stuff like that) from time to time. Hubby's a doll and he fixes it for me everytime!

3. House plants. There are very few house plants that I can't keep alive. Notice I said HOUSE plants though. The plants outside...they're all Don's. I'm terrible at those!!

4. Washer necklaces. I'm getting pretty damn good at them, if I may say so!! Here's a few (there are LOTS more) that I've done so far!

 This is just a close up shot of some of them.

 Here's the whole batch that I made that day. I still have a BUNCH that I need to finish up.




5. Doing almost nothing with my hair and making it look like I did. Lol...I need to get a cut and get my high lights done so bad that it's not even funny! I'm going at the end of the month to get it done though! I hate that it takes so long to get an appointment with her though!

Now I'm supposed to pass this award on to five other people. I've decided to give them to the top 5 people who have been commenting on my blog lately!

1. Yankee Girl
2. Mimi at Living in France
3. Angel at Angel Believes
4. Marguerite at Cajun Delights
5. Betty Jane at Keeper of the Skies Wife

I thank you all for your support, it really means a lot to me that you come by and comment on every single entry!! You all ROCK!!

Award Time or I Told A B*tch Off Today...And It Feels Good!

The Rules are to share 10 {honest} things about myself and pass along the love to 10 other's…easy enought!

*There is not a day that goes by that I don't realize one more reason why I'm madly in love with my husband.
*Yesterday I told my best friend (of 10 years) the eff off. I doubt she'll call me again. To be honest, I could really care less if she does. She'll probably never let me see my God Children again, but it's her loss. Hell, I was one of the few "positive" things in those kids life. Story soon!
*I'm busy designing another layout for my blog. I can't wait to finish it. When I start on a layout I'm obsessed with it until I get it exactly the way that I want it.
*I've been crafting up a storm lately, and it's been FUN!
*Last Sunday I cooked for the first time in over a month. I've missed it.
*My Son told me the other night that he's started saving up to buy/build a house and buy some property. He's 20. 20! Really...what 20 year old is thinking about buying a house? He makes me so proud.
*I just signed up for a twitter account today. Someone had already taken my Homesick Cajun name damn it. I took a look around and honestly, I wasn't impressed. I doubt I'll even sign back in.
*I was asked today to host a giveaway. I'm super excited!!
*I can't wait until September. I get to meet THREE fellow bloggers, I'm so freakin' excited!! (Only 124 Days, 2994 Hours, 179672 Minutes, 10780342 Seconds until I go "home"!!)
*I really want to learn how to be a better photographer!

Now to pass the love onto some fellow bleeps:

Julie - 47 and Starting Over
Jamie - Dave, Jamie and Dawson
Danica - Happy Girl
Em - Heart and Hairspray
Keeper of the Skies Wife - I'm so sorry but I dont' know your name!
MiMi - Living in France
Gail - Louisiana Belle
Margen - Simply Southern
Leiah - A Southern Bell Trying Not To Rust
Chelle - The Winey Mommy

So the story about telling the best friend off? Welll...she called me yesterday and we were just chatting away when she asked about my son. So I begin to tell her how he's doing. She proceeds to interrupt me to tell me how effin' cute my ex's new baby is. Honestly, he is adorable. But I could care less. My conversations with her should not include any info about my ex. I don't want to talk about him...at all. He hated her so she shouldn't want to talk about him either.

She tells me that she knows that he hated her when he and I were together but that they had a long talk and now they're "all good!" I'm thinking...*Great! So now you're all bff with my ex, the one that you saw abuse me every single time we got together. The one that made me cry more tears than I think I've ever cried?? Thanks! You're a great bff!*

She then says "That's a good effin' man you let get away girl, I don't care what you say. And he's as sexy as F*CK!" Whew...y'all the bitch from hell jumped out of me before I could stop her.

"He's an abusive drunk! He's an effin' drug addict! (come to think of it, she is too so her saying this to me shouldn't surprise me in the least!) You, of all people were there, you KNOW, you SAW, what he did to me. How can you say I effin' I messed up??" "Are you out of your ever lovin' mind?"

For the plain fact that you're my bff you should hate him for hurting me the way he did.

I have to say this...he only hit me once. But the verbal, the emotional and the mental abuse took place from the time he woke up until the time he passed out.

And I know that a lot of people don't consider that "real" abuse, all I can say to you is live it. You go through it and then tell me it's not real!

I loved that man. Like I've never loved anyone. I gave him my all. Everything I had in me went to him. You know how they say when you meet "the one" you'll know? That's how it was with him. I swear the first time I met him, when he got out of his car...I heard angels singing. That's how it was with him. I put him up on a nice little pedestal that he destroyed into a million little pieces!

It was great. Until the drinking, until the drugs, until the abuse.

I don't think I'll ever forgive her for those words coming out of her mouth. I mean, how can you be my best friend and not hurt for me when I went through that? Especially when you were there to witness so much of it.

This is all coming from a woman who left her husband after he was in a horrific accident, unable to walk, unable to talk, unable to fight for you? The night he was in the accident while we were at the first hospital (before he was transferred to a trauma center) and they were trying to stabilize him to move him, she was outside on the phone cancelling the plans she had the next day with her boyfriend. Ugh.

So, the list of my IRL friends seems to have just gotten shorter. Great!

(Tomorrow I'll post the convo I had with my amazing husband after I got off the phone with the bff and sat here crying over it!! Now HE'S a real man. The perfect man for me!!)

Takin' care of business....

The Monday Minute...on Tuesday! Lol...leave it to me to buck the rules! Sorry I'm late on it guys...I'm on my second day of (almost) no sleep. I've had about 3 1/2 hours of sleep in the last two days. I ran out of my sleeping pills on Thursday night, called the dr's office and wouldn't you know it she was out of town until today. So her office called me today and said she wont call me in any refills until I make an appointment! Bitch! Anyway...on the the MM.

At what age did I lose my virginity?
18...two weeks before I got married! Only a blonde like me would make him wait for 3 1/2 years and then give ti up two weeks before the wedding lol!

Any good sex tips or advice?
Ancient Chinese secret!

Lights on or off during sex?
I prefer to have them on but it's not a deal breaker!

Have I ever been caught in the act of  having sex?
Nope...not even once!

Ever catch your parents (or kids) having sex?
Oh gawd yes...to both! I caught my Mom when I was 14 I think. And I caught my (ex) step daughter and her boyfriend! I wanted to kill that little bastard lol! They didn't even bother shutting the bedroom door, in the middle of the day! With kids running all over the house! He effin' lucky it was me that caught them and not my son! Grrrr...

Onto other business...While I was gone spending all my time lovin' up on Mr Man I was given an award! I got the honest scrap award...I was so excited when I found. I love this one!

I'm going to sound like the biggest ass right now...girl...I don't even know your real name!! Y'all have to go check out her blog though!   So head on over to her place How Much Longer Till Friday (who doesn't love that blog name?    Thanks so much boo, what you said about me in your blog really made my day!! Here's the rules people...

1. Brag about the award. Don.

2. Include the name of the blogger who gave you the award and link back to that blogger. Ok so now I feel like an ass all over again! Lol... Really boo, I'm so sorry!

3. Choose a selection of blogs that you find brilliant in honest content.

Juney at 3! A Charm. She's so sweet that when she hadn't heard from me last week she was on our crackberries checking up on me. Not to mention bish is hilarious!!

Ian over at The Daily Does of Reality. Not only is he hilarious but we had a really long conversation a couple of weeks ago (remember when I wrote the post about the dream I had about my Mom?) about our Mother's. If you go back into his older post he has a post that he wrote  about his Mom....it's one of the most beautiful and moving tributes that I've ever read!  Which is cool because they're aren't many men who are so open with their feelings!

Michelle at Mommy Loves Stilettos. She and I just hit it off from day one! I'd love to go to Mardi Gras with her. We'd have one hell of a party!

Kimber at Day in the life of a girl named Kimber. I'm so excited because I get to meet her in September. She's a "pretty little Cajun queen" It's so cool that she's gonna come down and party with me!

Deann at Displaced Southerner. I get to meet her in September too! She's coming to Louisiana with me! We're gonna stir some trouble up somewhere!

And Heather Lynn at Random Thoughts of a Restless Mind. She's my boo! Lol...she's so damn cute! She's one of those people that you'd call and "old soul!"






4. Show their names and links and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with this award.

Just finished doing that!

5. List at least ten honest things about yourself.

Ten Honest Things:

1.. I hate cleaning but get such a sense of satisfaction out of it when I can sit down and know my house is that clean, so I do it.

2. I’m more afraid of disappointing my family than I am of dying.

3. I want some new boobs but hubby doesn't! I wish there was some way I could talk him into letting me get them lol!
 4.  My family has very little respect for me, it used to bother me so much but I've come to realize that it's ok if they don't like me, as long as they love me!
 5. I have a love/hate relationship with our two dogs (pugs) that I call Bebe's kids. There are some days when I'd love nothing more than to get rid of them! I can't keep up with all the hair they shed...it's gross! Lol...
 6. I have 7 body piercings and I'm gonna get at least one more.
7. I have 4 tattoos, I still want more.
8. I'm a REALLY good cook!
9. I can't ride in my car without the radio on!
10.  I am bad luck on road trips. If you take me with you, chances are your vehicle is going to break down, over heat, or get a flat. At the very least you’re going to get a ticket.

Well loves believe it or not I'm actually falling asleep typing this (after two days with very little sleep, imagine that!)! I have to go bring hubby to the dentist tomorrow (I write this up on Monday night and scheduled it to post!) to get a tooth pulled! I can't  begin to tell you how much I wish I could get someone to come with me, just to video him! He is hilarious when he's high and considering I've never even seen him drunk it surprised the hell out of me how funny he was!

Have a great day!













                           

Nick, Nack, paddywack!

Good morning! you might want to grab your morning juice, this one is a tad long! Sorry about that...I try to keep my entries on the short side, but I love adding pics so they tend to look long lol!

My curling iron is dying slowly. It's just not heating the way it used to. I'm going to have to break up with her!There's one I've been admiring for a couple of years now! It's a Farouk CHI Turbo Digital Curling Iron! They're amazing! But dayum...the cheapest one I could find on ebay (it's new) was $67.99. That's a lot of moola! I have a Chi straightening iron and it's amazing!

This is not the one I want...but doesn't it kind of look like a curing iron vibrator? Just sayin... I think I would get distracted if I was curling my hair with something like looked kinda like a fake penis!

My Dr upped my ADHD meds...you should all be afraid lol!She also gave me a Rx for Chantix. She wants me to wait a couple of weeks before I fill it because she changed the dosage of two of my other meds.So she just wants to make sure I do OK with the changes that we've made before I go adding a new med! So...in two weeks...it's a go! Lmao...just talking about this makes me have anxiety! Bring on the pills lol!

Sometime this week I am going to go back to the local community college and start taking the GED classes again! I don't have a whole lot let...just three more test. And there's only one I'm worried about...MATH! Kill me now lol! I have been doing some workbooks and they have been helping me learn algebra! Thank God.

This Morning on MSN they had a story of a couple who have been married for 85 years. He's 104, she's 101. Kill me now! Can you imagine 85 years? L.. OK, I'm kidding! I would love to be married to hubby for 85 years, but considering we haven't even had our 1 year anniversary yet...I'm not betting the bank on that one. I mean we ARE in our early (hehehe) and late (sorry babe!) 40's after all!

Holy shit! I have 96 followers! Let me take this time to thank you all! You effin' rock...really you do!

We're supposed to have temps in the 70's for the rest of the week! YES!! That's what I'm talkin bout people!

I can't remember who's blog it was in but they were talking about going to the gyno. Honestly I can't even remember what they were saying about it but I do remember that I left a comment about this! My Dr (she's not even a gyno...she's a GP. Bitch did make me get a pap (from her) a few months ago! Bitch!

You've just gotta love Google images lol!

Anymalpraticesuit...for some reason crazy bitch doctor thinks it's a good idea to hang pictures that her bad ass son (he's always running around the office, the hyper little fucker!!) drew (is that right word? lol) for her on the ceiling for our viewing pleasure.

Yeah doc...these make me feel all relaxed and shiz while you're down there checkin' around in my cooter!

Remember me telling you how my awesome hubby got me Photoshop CS4 Extended for my anniversary present?? Well he got it on Ebay it came in yesterday. I was so excited I ripped the package open and installed the program on my computer. Woot woot...lets get started!! I open the program and this is what came up on the screen...

 

I freaked the fuck out. He paid a lot of money for this shit!! So he contacted the seller and the guy said that he had the same problem with another one that he sold, told us to mail it back and he'd send us a new one! I can still play around with it (gave me a 30 free trial) until I get the new one but still...I want to beat his ass.

I got another Sunshine award! Woot woot! Debbie over at Debbidoo's gave it to me! Debbie, thank you so much of thinking of me and making my day a little brighter! That was so sweet of you!

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you! Welcome back boo! Welcome back!

15. Chelle - Girl you comment on every single blog entry I do! Thanks so much you rock!

In the last week two women have been in the news, they were both arrested. The first woman 

 

(from Kentucky...just sayin'!) 

 was arrested for public intoxication and once they got to the popo station they put her in a cell. She then popped out her breast and squirted a female officer in the face with breats milk. First of all...eww! Secondly...I'd beat you down bitch! Thirdly...she racked up more charges...third-degree assault of the popo!!

 

Tisk, tisk, tisk!

 

The second woman, from Florida

 

(SHOCK..not! Just sayin'!) (not the actual woman)

Anycrashboombam, this heifer was arrested after causing a two car crash. It seems that this genius  idiot

 

(the actual woman) 

decided she needed to SHAVE her COOTER while she was driving She should have started with her head first. I mean, likes SHE'S gonna get lucky?? Better yet...her ex husband happened to be in the car with her and was holding the wheel for her while she shaved. (how thoughtful of him!) Seriously...if you're gonna shave your cooter to get ready to see your bf, while you're driving, who else would you want to hold the wheel for you except your ex husband?

Apparently she was going to meet her boyfriend and wanted to be "ready" for him. Eww, eww, eww!! I can't believe she gets laid!

(Hey look! It's Beevis...or is it Butthead?? Not really her bf, or ex husband. Just some random crackhead!)

She was charged with  revoked license, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a wreck with injuries and driving with no insurance.

Lay down the pipe honey! I just know one day I'm going to see you on a Lady Bic disposable razor ads!

Ok...I'll leave you with this...

This is all I've heard all morning! I'm seriously thinking of shoving some ear plugs up her nose. It's driving me effin' crazy! Lol...though I would like some of the drug that she's on that makes her sleep so good!

 And by your shit...I mean comments!
