friday freaking gross fragments...i warned ya!

Brought to you by none other than Mrs. 4444

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

probably gonna be pretty short cuz i'm hungry and we are headed out to The Eagles's Club for some cheap hot wings. woohoo. yeah we're exciting :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

first off, who the heck and why the heck would somebody design a drain for a bathtub like this:

i think i must have been a man. who else wouldn't care to stand in ankle deep dirty water while taking a shower than a man. i mean come on. you have pretty much guaranteed that every flipping hair that goes down this drain will get caught and eventually clog the flow of water. leaving some poor woman to spend way too much time on her knees with a coathanger scooping out this disgusting mess:




and no, that's not hubby's toothbrush (but it should be) i put it there so you could have a reference of just how freaking much hair that is!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

after asking why my allergy shots have started hurting and itching again, which they haven't done for months now, i was informed that i had been moved up to "the red tops" which means......drum rolllll....that by August i will only have to be going to cookeville every other week!!! woohooo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

don't know why, but i have all of a sudden been "found" by tons of people from high school on face book. it's pretty neat to reconnect with them, but i find it funny that some of the people who treated me like total shit, are now "oh, i'm so glad i found you". yeah, right. either they are full of shit, have "found God", or going through a 12 step program and are starting their ammends. lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i am really truly starting to turn into a REAL housewife. i don't know how this happened except maybe out of guilt from not working. i have made a sock-it-to-me cake last week, snickerdoodles and chocolate oatmeal cookies this week, and i think i even managed to cook a couple of meals allll while still continuing my cleaning saga.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

that's all i can think of for now. see ya next time. same bat time. same bat channel

freakin' friday already??

sponsored by Mrs. 4444:

oh, Mrs.4444 is giving away a bunch of things in honor of her 444th post. she also has some great advice on parenting that she is giving away for FREE here, here, here, and here oh, and here too!!

ok, i have decided i don't like having a life. it seems like i've been running around like crazy since...i don't know. at least several days ago. hell, maybe even a week. what happened to my sitting and reading and blogging all day??



i haven't even looked at google reader today, because i don't want to know how many i haven't read yet.



i haven't even had time to prepare fragments, but maybe this will turn into a fragment post, seeing as how my brain is just all over the place.



i APPLIED for a JOB with the census bureau . don't ask me why, except that you can basically work whenever you want from what i understand, and that's about the only job i can swing now-a-days. pass the word on to anybody looking. it only lasts for 5-10 weeks or so, possibly longer, if you get a "clerk" type position, but the pay is pretty freakin' good!



i am baby sitting my lil sis's chiauhuas or however you spell that. i spent a couple hours this morning yelling "shut up" & "hush" trying to get them to quit whining for me. it didn't work. i think they speak spanish cuz they didn't listen to a word i said.



i had to race through my "any moron could pass test" for the census because i had to get to cookeville for my weekly allergy shots before they closed. i missed TWO questions. puuhlease! now, i'm gonna have to go back next friday, because i'm anal like that and i know i can get a 100% and that's just gonna tick me off if i don't.



OH! i asked my granny if i could borrow her scooter for the car shows that are gonna be starting up soon, so i don't have to cut hubby's fun short. she has now informed my mom that she doesn't want me to use it. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? she has never even sat her butt in the thing, can't find the battery and charger, but she doesn't want me, her favorite granddaughter to use it. It has got to be her dementia, or she is totally going on my shit list!



ok, so friday fragments looks like it's turning into friday freakouts...so i better shut up. hopefully i will be reading and commenting all day tomorrow and sunday.

friday fragments

i was smart this week. i kept a little notepad by my desk and wrote down stuff all week. i couldn't wait for friday to get here so i could post it!! well, until friday got here at 8am since the g-kid spent the night cause his mommy's sick. then i didn't want friday to be here. so, i set him up with a real poptart, milk, and a movie and crawled back into bed. ok, enough chatter, on with the fragments! oh! and don't forget to check out Mrs. 4444's fragments who got me started on this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
does anybody else want to go on survivor just for the diet? i mean i would love to do all the competitions (duh) but i realistically know that my body can't do that stuff anymore. and there is NO way i could sleep on the ground but, still, i really want to lose all that weight that the contestants do!! i know i don't have the will power to just eat rice and water at home, and i also know i sure as hell wouldn't supplement my diet with any bugs out there, so it would have to work!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i have decided that my dog, charlotte, is one of the smartest dogs i've ever had. if not the smartest in the world! She could totally be another lassie. we came home from that car show last weekend and charlotte came up to the door wigglin' and a wagglin' her whole body. i went outside and gave her some lovin' because i thought she was just happy to be gettin' my full attention. (dale is jeallllllous and always pushes her away so i will pet him instead) so i come back inside and sat down and she was still there just a wigglin' away. i went back out and petted her some more and then i came in and told rickey "i think she's trying to tell us timmy fell down the well, or somethin" a lightbulb went off in hubby's brain. "hmmm i wonder if i locked dale up in the shop" sure enough, he went out to the shop and dale came flying out! lol so charlotte was trying to tell us something was wrong!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hubby came in from the shop the other night and asked me if i wanted something for my blog. i say sure, thinking a funny shop story is emminent. he says, what are you doing now? UGGHH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i showed g-kid this pic:

he says " that's mommy and lyric passed out!"

i have no idea where he heard that phrase, but there you go. funny thing is, mommy was passed out. she had come to the house to spend the night, drink some beer, and watch movies with me for her birthday. hehe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i was cooking dinner the other night and jamie & the g-kid were in the bedroom watchin' a movie. g-kid asked several times if dinner was ready yet and the last time i told him, "don't worry i will let you know when it's ready. i won't let you starve." the next thing i here is "mommy is starving for dinner, nonna" i replied, "she is??" jamie hollars back, "i never said anything like that!! he asked me if i was starving and i said i could eat." the little booger is already learning how to manipulate people!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
one last thing. heinous had some links over to mama still wears gucci, she had a pic of her hubby in his laying around the house outfit, and thought he looked ridiculous in it. i say HA! i can totally beat that...












hubby is such a good sport! i still can't believe i talked him into wearing a woman's shirt and letting me photograph him. :)

well, once again my fragments seem quite long winded, but i guess i just don't know how to tell a short story :)

friday fragments

first things first. i want to thank Mrs. 4444 for generously awarding me this award:



for my friday fragments post last week. i am truly honored to be selected for this award amoung all of her other choices. i thanked her on her blog, but then realised that not only was i passing up an opportunity to toot my own horn, but also to thank her once again and show her some link love :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

while looking at pics of the g-kid on his mommy's puter:

me: ewww james, you're picking your nose, that's groooss
james: i like picking my nose
me: you do? why?
james: cuz sometimes it's full of boogers and i gotta get 'em outta dere
(duh, nonna don't you know anything??)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hubby: whatcha' doing?
me: reading blogs

15 min. later

hubby: now, watcha' doing?
me: why? (a little exasperated-just a little)

hubby: cuz you're smiling

me: posting comments

hubby: so why are you smiling?

me: because i'm a smart aleck, and it amuses me

15 min. later

hubby: now what're you doin?

me: reading more blogs

this has turned into an almost daily routine. somebody save me from my hubby's weird sense of humor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i'm trying to decide if it's worth shaving my legs so i can take a pic of my kick ass calves for heinous ;) that will totally ruin my attempt at breaking my record last year for seeing how long i can go without shaving. i think he may have to wait till spring. i've decided it helps keep my legs warm, i swear it does! plus, it's really cool cuz when i swing my legs back and forth i can feel the breeze rustling through the hair.

oh, and for all of you who i just totally grossed out, in my defense, i don't have hardly any hair on my legs and what i do have is so fine and sparse you don't really even notice it. not that i would go out in public in shorts like this, but as long as i'm wearing jeans - screw shaving! plus it hurts my hips to shave and it def is not worth the pain :p~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

in my quest for a clean(er) house, i have washed, dried, folded, AND put away like 6 or 7 loads of clothes. i think i'm gonna take tonight off and see if i can talk hubby into helping me do the floors tomorrow

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

does it make me a bad person if i LOVE how mean and manipulative Hugh Laurie is on House? what if i secretly wish i could manipulate people like that too? it would never happen, because i don't have that sneaky gene that you need to do that. ask, seashore. i used to drive her crazy asking questions during any movie that had plots that contained ulterior motives behind the characters actions. i just can't think like that.
