FREEEEEDOM!!!!!

My friend, Princess Natasha, was kind enough to post this news on her social-site-with-faces profile. I thought it was my duty as poster of fluff here to make y’all aware of it.

Consider this your Public Service Announcement for today.

And guys, be sure to support them!!

Have a great day ๐Ÿ˜‰


Feeling Stabby

I am not a happy camper today. Aside the fact that Eldest is STILL not finished reorganizing her room, I now have been dealing with a rather ornery thorn in my side: my phone bill. It’s not what I pay. It’s the fact that I’m not getting paper billing when I have requested it five times already.

I understand that I may get someone in a foreign country to help me. I have no problems with foreign accents. But I do have a problem when I keep requesting paper billing, and I don’t get it. It is still an option with my carrier, after all. And the worst part? I can’t see my bill online, because apparently the sign-up feature doesn’t recognize me as being a customer!!!

But hey, let me skip one payment and they sure as heck find my address to send me my overdue bill.

So, if they can send me an overdue notice, why can’t they send me the freakin’ bill in the first place???

Yes, they are now on my Voodoo Listโ„ข. Here’s hoping that after a stabby session with their representative doll, they get their act together. If next month comes around and there’s no bill, I will make origami machetes out of $1 bills and deliver them personally ๐Ÿ˜‰


In My Next Life

Y’all have read that cute little email or post about how women want to be a bear in their next life, right?

I don’t.

Sure, you get to sleep through your pregnancy and eat whatever you want, and never have to shave, and kill whatever threatens your cubs, and hey, even fish all day.

Before caffeination.

I’m a “glass empty” kind of gal. I don’t want to come back as a mama bear. That just means I will end up as someone else’s fur rug or trophy. The only upside to being a bear is being able to terrorize campers in Yellowstone. And even then you run the risk of being shot with thorazine, or worse, shot with bullets. No thanks. I’ll pass on being a bear.

No, in my next life I want to be an American Bald Eagle. Awesome eyesight, sharp talons, great nesting, and totally protected. Even my feathers are protected.

I just hope I come back in the US side, and not Canada ๐Ÿ˜€


Not That Y’all Can Tell…

….but apparently, it’s FALL!!

And courtesy of roamingfirehydrant. yet again, an awesome Sithy.

And being in South Texas, that’s as close as I will get to seeing Fall. Have a great Sunday!! ๐Ÿ˜€


Not Even Trying Today

I got up and felt like a cat had chewed me up, spit me out, and dragged through pond scum.

And I’m not even sick. Just tired.

I was thinking of doing a giveaway for the blog. Something either made by me or just some random weird thing I find at the clearance section of Home Depot. Or the Dollar Store. Not sure yet.

Then I thought of doing a simple dish each week and featuring it so that the food pic haters would have some angst in their lives. But that’s not how I operate. I don’t like fostering angst. I like fostering fear.

I also thought about posting pretty thought of the day. Then I recalled I am Sith.

Anyway, I will think of something tomorrow. For now, I am off to paint PVC pipes, attach a ventilation duct for a dryer on the ceiling, and make a lamp out of a flowerpot.

Don’t judge me because I’m crazy. Judge me because I am too tired to make a rebuttal, and this is your only chance ๐Ÿ˜‰


It’s Sunday!

And I got nothing for today.

Today I am going to the hardware stores in search of stuff for jewelry and Steampunk. Yes, I did say “jewelry”. But not for me. I have plenty. Well, ok…I do need to make some Steampunk style jewelry, so I should pick up more of these:

Oh, and I also have to cook something delish for Yabu. He has a fantabulous contest going on whereby we in the Blogosphere will be posting food pics and recipes!! It’s called the โ€œNATIONAL IRRITATE A FOOD PIC HATER FOOD PIC POSTING WEEKโ€ or NIAFPHFPPW for short. I shall be updating this blog with tonight’s feastology.

This is probably the most rambling post I’ve done this year.

Anyway, until then, have a great one, and feel free to join the foodie fun at Yabu’s!! ๐Ÿ™‚

DELICIOUS UPDATE!!!

Slow Cooked Porkchops;

  • Six thick-cut porkchops (boneless or bone-in)
  • One bottle BBQ sauce
  • One onion, halved and sliced.

Place porkchops in slow cooker, then layer onions over them, then pour bottle of BBQ sauce over it. Cook on low for 6 hours. Recipe stolen creatively borrowed from Laura a long time ago. Trust me, it is AWESOME!

Oh, and since I didn’t have any dinosaurs or fighter jets, I decided that Carl the Psycho Llama would grace the montage just fine. Tell me I’m wrong.

I dare ya ๐Ÿ˜‰


Saturday Sithy

Compliments of my friend, roamingfirehydrant, who knows what I like!!

It’s like two great tastes, only different. It’s better than using cookies to convince you to come to the Dark Sideโ„ข. It’s like winning the lottery without buying a ticket. Had the Emperor dressed his clones in kilts, there would have been no Clone Wars, there would have been no Rebel Base, and Alderaan would never have been obliterated.ย Peace through superior kiltwear!!!

Ok, I think I’ve had enough coffee. Y’all have a great Saturday!! ๐Ÿ™‚


Weird Day

It happens every year.

Kids go back to school, and I briefly enjoy the rapture that comes with the peace and serenity.

And then, I come back to Earth.

I guess today marks the day I return to reality. But it’s hard finding a groove again after dealing with kids being home for a while. This morning I walked the dog, folded the towels, and started dinner prep. And I was done by 9 AM. Shopping is out, since I am still adhering to my financial diet. Eating is out, since that would lead to shopping for larger sizes in the long run, not to mention more eating from being depressed over buying larger sizes. And there is just so much cleaning I can do before I begin doing the kids’ chores.

I’m sure this will last all of two days. By Friday, I shall be back in the swing of things. Until then, I will start making the Christmas List, making gifts, and planning my Halloween costume.

It’s never too early for that!! ๐Ÿ˜‰


Calm Down

I ain’t dead.

I have been making flowers hosting guests doing school projects relaxing, and didn’t have much to say today.

Oh, the chair out on my lawn is empty, by the way.

Also, I think these are under my skin.

I can see a lot of orders for these in school colors in my future, and they look awesome in grey, in case any moms from the “other” school are wondering.

I may need an intervention ๐Ÿ˜‰


Saturday Sithy

You know, had I titled this “Sunday Sithy”, I would have been early for once.

And since we don’t have lightsabers (yet…), we substitute machetes and we are good to go ๐Ÿ˜‰

Y’all have a great Saturday!!
