Trying again...

Ok, here's my feeble attempt at an update, lol.


I went shopping with a friend recently to Sephora in the mall. Remember last year when I went all crazy and bought tons of stuff? Well this year, I had some self control. Here's what I bought;

I love the key chain with the attachable lip glosses. It even has some little lips like the one on my blog, lol! The glosses are really nice too. As for the Pink Sugar set I bought, well, as much as I adore the scent, I must admit, it wasn't a great buy. I gave the shower gel to my ex-SIL because she hooked me up with a bunch of Clinique stuff recently, the lotion is ok except it's runny and and when it's on my hands, everything I touch (like food) ends up tasting like perfume. Ick! The lip gloss is just ok too, and I noticed it also has an icky flavor. But I did like the big bottle of perfume itself. It's a wonderful scent. If you ever see it somewhere, try it. I heard it's becoming extremely popular though, and that bums me because I like to be different, lol!



Anyhow, I went out with a friend Tuesday night and we met halfway between our towns, in a town that neither of us are familiar with. It was ok since she scoped it out before we got there and told me where to go. The problem was, when it was time to leave, I couldn't find the freeway. I ended up in the middle of nowhere, in the pitch black with what appeared to be orchards all over the place. I wasn't sure how long to go in that direction before giving up, so all in all, I was lost for almost a half hour. Gas is too freakin' expensive for mistakes like this!



I did buy the cutest lip gloss at Target while we were there, though. I'll add the picture. I am one of those suckers who falls for the packaging. Here it is;

Is that not too cute?? Sexy Motherpucker! It says it is one of those lip plumping kinds, but in my opinion, all that means is it hurts like a mofo right when you put it on. My friend and I were in the car and tried it on. We sat there waiting....waiting...and then BAM! All of a sudden our lips were stinging and they actually felt like they were vibrating. My blonde friend actually pulled the visor down to look in the mirror to see if her lips were actually moving, lmao! That totally gave me the giggles.

In other news, I'm starting a computer class at the local college in January. I'm excited about that since it's going to get me comfortable enough to take some other classes too. I still have no idea what else I'll take, but I do think it's always good to further your education. Like they say, Youth is wasted on the Young. If only I'd taken advantage of more opportunities in high School. *sigh* Better late than never.

P.S. Spell check wants me to spell it "blond", and not "blonde". Interesting. :)

still busy...

I hope everyone had a great holiday break! I've missed everyone being around the blogs. :)

As for me, I think I've lost my bloggy. I am wanting to update, and even can think of various things to say, but when it comes time to type, nothing seems to sound right, or be interesting enough. I have a busy week planned too, which makes it even harder because if I know I won't be on a lot, it's hard to post something and then just walk away, kwim?

Anyways, I did want to say that as bad as the Niners have been sucking ass, I thoroughly enjoyed today's game. It was almost like watching the Bachelor finale, with the surprise ending, lol!

For now, this is all I got. :) Hope to see more of you blogging and hope to be back more myself, very soon. *smooches*

P.S. I have not mailed my Funny Mail yet. I will ASAP. And frankly, to be honest, I'm having a hard time making it "funny". Can we just say "fun mail" instead? *sigh*

Enchanted/ Cars/ Football

I couldn't figure out a title, lol.

So, last Thursday I took the kids and my mother to see a sneak preview of Enchanted. It was funny because when my brother gave me the tickets (for 4) I immediately assumed DD would invite a friend of hers. I wasn't even sure if my son would want to go, so I even thought about another mother/daughter going with us. Anyways, I was really glad that it occurred to me to invite my mother. It struck me as sad that she wasn't one of the first people I thought of. She was thrilled with the invitation and we all loved the movie. Yes, It's cheesy, but unique and funny. I'd see it again.

About cars; my father has been jealous of my car since I got it. The funny thing is that my dad never buys "normal" cars. He always has to have foreign cars, BMW, Mercedes, etc. So for him to like my Toyota was funny to me. Anyhow, he eventually bought one, but an older model. I was glad because I got to rub it in his face that I had dual exhaust (which I didn't notice or care about until he mentioned being envious of it, lol). He's had the older model for about a year or so, but he just couldn't stand it anymore, and went in to buy a newer one. He got the same exact same color and model as me! Grr! BUT! The worst part is that his is called the "Touring Edition" and now he thinks his is way better. It's practically started a war. He even called me in a panic the other morning to tell me someone had stolen my spoiler. *rolls eyes* Mine never had a spoiler and he knows it. Smug bastard.

Football: I took my son to his school today because he wanted to run on the track with me, but in the end, we just played catch with his football. I have to admit, it was the most fun I've had in a while. It was simple, free and healthy. We laughed, joked around, and we counted every run we had where we didn't drop the ball as we threw it back and forth (I think the top was around 25 throws, lol). I need to do that more often than I do.

Completely Off Topic: I noticed in an ad the other day that the model was wearing open toed shoes with stockings. Is that ok now? I was always under the impression it was tacky. But I'd love it if it's acceptable! I always freeze with no pantyhose, or I end up wearing my tall boots. What I need is a good pair of high heels that aren't open toed, lol! Woohoo! Shopping mission!

Complaint

What the flippin' hell is the difference between a fat man's boob and a woman's boob? I feel weird watching the men's chest exposed on the Biggest Loser with the kids in the room. Seriously, why would one be inappropriate and not the other? All arases are edited the same... what gives?

Tuesday randoms

Today started perfectly. I was peeing at around 6am, with the door slightly open and the light off. No biggie, since everyone is asleep still. *snort* Then all of a sudden, the door swings open and the light pops on and before I could say anything, my son sees me, screams, falls backward and desperately grasps at the door frame to keep from falling all the way down. *LMAO* Had I not already been peeing, that would have done it. :) I love it when people get scared, and more so when I'm not feeling guilty for doing it on purpose.

_____________________________________________________

I finally watched TAR last night. I am not sure who my faves are yet, do you guys have any? It seems too early to tell because there were a few times where I thought I might not like someone as much as I thought I would, or vice versa. I do think I'll like the "hippy couple" though. I'm horrible at remembering the names. I decided Phil might have the best job on the planet. I was drooling over all the gorgeous scenery in Ireland.

______________________________________________________

My dreams have been getting weirder and weirder lately. One of the last ones was about a raccoon that was harassing my cats. I guess I needed to "take care of it" so I went outside with a broom to kill it. I hit it a few times but just couldn't bring myself to finish it, when the next thing I knew, a hole opened up in the ground. When I looked down into it, it was a Disney Underworld of some sort. All the villains were there, waiting for me to push the raccoon in. I did. :( I had another dream recently that had me stuck in a long tube that was inside a sinking ship. I could see the water level rising up to me, and I was stuck. I want some good dreams! These ones suck! *sob*

I'm also severely PMSing, so maybe that's where some of this is coming from.

I guess I'm out of randoms. I've been awful at making the rounds lately, as things at home have been needing attention...I guess we all know what that's like.

*smooches*

I walk like a girl

I noticed this yesterday as I was coming out of a store. I tried to force my arms down by my sides and look normal, but then my pinky started raising up. Weird. And by "walk like a girl", I mean my wrists are turned up sorta (well, one wrist usually). Ugh, I can't describe it, but it's definitely girlish. Seems snobby now that I think about it. How do you walk? Have you ever paid attention? When you drink, do you do it with your pinky out? LOL, even when grabbing my water bottle and drinking, my pinky is out! This is going to drive me insane!

Oops

Guess I misinterpreted a text I got tonight and fired off two subsequent texts and a nasty email, before asking questions. I'm feeling foolish. Make me not feel foolish. Tell me what I did was what anyone would have done, please.

Back story: When I went to that party last Saturday night, a girl showed up and announced that her best friend and another mutual friend were dating. I already knew about this, and had known for weeks, but it was definitely something they did not want "out". The guy's divorce is not final and well, I guess that's why. Anyways, other than some mild discussion, nothing major was said.

Tonight, I get this text: "Wow. Just found out I was the focus of a shit talking frenzy during the party. I must be the only one with a skeleton in the closet."

I assume he is telling me that he is angry at *me* because *I* was there. I also assumed his "skeleton" reference was directed at me as a threat to reveal stuff he might know from my past. I fire back with a text saying, "was there a question in there or just an accusation?". I get no reply. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I have been covering this guys ass on so many little things for months, and I didn't deserve this! So I text again saying, "It's always nice when a "friend" gets second hand info and doesn't bother verifying it". Still no reply. Now I'm pissed! I go to my email and fire off another reply with some not so nice things. I told him he was so off the mark about this that I was embarrassed for him, I said that I was shocked he wouldn't give me an opportunity to reply. I called it all bullshit and then I very maturely ended it with "whatever." *snort* Oh, then I sent him a final text letting him know I emailed him.

Then I call my brother and it turns out he got the same text message (from Clint). As I'm filling DB in, I get a reply from Clint saying I misunderstood his text, he couldn't talk right then and would talk to me later. Hmm. Did I really just make that big of an ass of myself? I was so mad at him because when you don't talk to someone for over a month, and then send them a text like that, and then ignore the immediate responses, what are you supposed to think!? I figured he was taking someone's word over mine, and I was mad. *sigh* I sent him one more email explaining why I took everything the way I did and said if I was wrong, then I clearly jumped to conclusions and overreacted. But now I just feel stupid. There was so much anger and venom in my first email. If he wasn't really attacking me, am I a giant idiot? What would you have done?

Updating for the sake of updating

I hate it when I feel like my weekend was busy enough to give me some blogging topics, but when I go to blog it, I come up empty.

Oh well, here goes... I went to a party on Saturday evening. I was asked to bring a dessert so I bought some 1/2 off Halloween candy and made caramel popcorn balls. The balls were a hit! And not only were they all eaten, but it was kinda fun offering balls to people all night. I'm sure you can just imagine how many ridiculous, immature and crude jokes were made that night, lol!

A bunch of people ditched the party for a "real" party and I felt bad for the hostess. I stayed until pretty late and eventually peeled my sleepy kids off the couch and took them home. What was funny is that those who left for the other party left all their kids at this one for us to babysit. It annoyed me that there were so many toddlers toddling around at midnight. My kids were old enough to enjoy themselves and were thrilled to be able to stay up late, but the babies were crying for their moms. Grrr! I didn't like that at all.

In other news, my parents just got a Plasma TV. They previously had a 60" that took up half the room. Now, the Plasma is 50" and hangs above the fireplace. The picture is beautiful. I watched last week's Office there tonight. Jim is dreamier in HD, lol! Are you allowed to have a fire with the TV hanging up there, though? It would make me nervous.

Umm, *trying to think of anything interesting*... Sorry guys. I got nuthin' (again).

Ack!

Dilemma: When I photograph with my young friend Ashley, my skin looks old! Waaahhhh!!! Are there any anti-aging products that work?? I added her and my picture in the slideshow...fortunately you can't zoom in. :)

So tomorrow (Thursday), I am getting another massage from the same friend I got one from last week. I'm pretty excited. If she lived here, I'd probably see her bi-weekly.

Other than this, I got nothing. I've been super busy lately. I'm looking forward to Friday very much, when I can just relax at home and maybe catch up with some friends I've been missing. And yes! That includes you guys!

*smooches*
