Wacky Wednesday

So I had to go and do an emergency shopping trip today. I needed a new crockpot. When I went grocery shopping a few days ago, I bought some stuff to make a roast. Well, I forgot that I threw out the old crock pot.

So I decided to drag my grandma down to walmart with me so I could get me a new one. As we were leaving walmart I had to stop pushing my cart for a minute and make a show out of me pulling up my pants, for the millionth time, since they kept falling. After I got done doing this I turned around with a big grin to see my grandma's reaction to this, because let me tell ya, I really did make a scene pulling up mah pants..didn't care who was watching either. Well, she was laughing. BUT...that wasn't the funny part.

The funny part was after I started walking again, she tells me "when you walk your butt goes up and down". WHAT??! Did I just hear her correctly?..Yep. That's what she said. So then I asked her what she was doing lookin' at mah butt. And she tells me "well, you're walking in front of me, what do you expect me to look at?". Umm, not my butt! There's a billion other things in the walmart parking lot to look at!

That just adds another person that mentions my bootay...I guess I have a bubble bootay that is noticable...I have a mini version of baby got back.

So now that I'm done talking about my ass...everyone have a good day!

Random Tuesday Thoughts

So here are my Random Tuesday thoughts...better late than never..Right?!

*Dang...I've been BUSY today. And now I'm tired..but I'm always tired, so nothings really new! I read and studied paperwork for five hours today..can't tell ya why, it's confidential. Just have to say glad it's over now.

*When we came home on Sunday night from a dinner at Shortmama's house, we let the dog in the house. And then we let her right back outside. You see..she got sprayed by a skunk while we were gone. She was stanky! Not extreme or anything, so she mustn't have received a direct hit. So then she had to have an outdoor bath..

"This sucks"

"This double sucks"

"Does It Look Like I'm Enjoying This"

Aww, how cuuute!

"Dang I'm pooped from all this bathing and staying the night outside"

*I have new beautician that I go to, and I when I went for a trim the other day she asked me "you work out don't you?"...man I love her! My (cursing) dvd's by Jillian Michaels must be working..woohoo! I don't need to lose, I just need to tone...and I hate every second of working out (well kinda) but the results are great.

Friend Makin' Mondays

So the question from Amber this week is...What are some of your favorite things about fall?

The change in weather is definately one favorite thing. Everything in general just seems more relaxed and enjoyable when the hotter than hay temps make an exit.

Another favorite is knowing that the AZ State Fair is just around the corner. Love It! I remember being taken to the state fair by my dad when I was a kid. And I remember when my oldest daughter was old/tall enough to go on the rides, we took my dad with us one time. Ohh my gosh, I still crack up to this day thinking of the that ONE ride. It's the ride that looks like a strawberry and it turns in a circle, and it has a wheel in it that you can make the strawberry spin fast or slow while going in a circle...still with me?...well I was stuck in between the two of them and they both looked like they were having the worst time of their lives, they couldn't wait for it to stop and were both on the verge of utter fear. And what was I doing? I was crackin' up 'til I was cryin'. Oh man it was hilarious..well atleast to me.

But since then I take my kids each year. I haven't taken my son yet, waiting for him for him to get older/bigger. But here are some of those great pics that we like to get taken while at the fair.

Me and my daughter Alyssa

Me and my daughter Taylor

And then another favorite would, of course, have to be halloween. Love to take the kids to pick out their halloween costumes. Sometimes the sizing on the costumes are not very correct though. Like the year that all of their costumes were too small. My oldest daughters behind was just above where the fabric ended. I had her wear the costume anyways and just bought her a pair of black tights to help with coverage. My friend Shortmama's parents happened to be trick-or-treating with all of us that particular year and one of them mentioned how small the costume was...I said "yep, she's very bootyful!".

This wasn't the year of the short costumes.

L to R: Jayce, Taylor, niece Ashlyn, and Alyssa

I could probably list a few other things that I really like about fall, but these are the ones that I look forward to the most. Just throw in some hot cocoa and marshmallow roasting and we're good to go! Oh yeah, and we can ride our Polaris Ranger without feeling the wonderful heat searing our skin.

Dear Someone

Dear Shortmama,

That is just hella funny that you are out taking pics of scummy tattoos/people at the Goodwill. I'm so glad I wasn't there with you, I would've been rollin' on the floor and then you would've been caught.

Your tickled funny friend
Rose


Dear Old Friend from grade school/high school,

I don't know how many times or ways that I can let you know that I DO NOT want to be friends with you anymore. Really now, this ended over a decade ago, and you're STILL (stalking) trying to see about hanging out together. We are two different people, you went down the trashy road of life and I stayed on the let's better ourselves in life path...so go smoke another one and just pretend I don't exist. Just because I'm nice to your kids doesn't mean I want to be with you...I feel sorry for them that they have a mother like you.

The ex-friend that's getting really ticked off
Non-Extistant Rose


Dear Jason and Levi,

Shortmama and I aren't really bashing on you when we do post in here about you guys, it's all out of love and fun..even though you two sometimes aren't laughing along with us.

Your loving wife..and crazy friend
Rose


Dear Roxy,

Start acting normal before I take you to a doggie therapist. Every time that dad comes home, would you please stop planting your excited booty in front of me and staring at me like I'm the one that just got home? Really now, you've been home with me the whole day, I'm not the one that just got home. Get your mind right.

Your fed up owner
Rose


Dear kids,

The sooner you learn that when you are told not to do something, and then when I ask you why you did that said something anyways when you knew you weren't supposed to, and your response to me is "because I wanted to", the longer I may allow you to live if I don't hear those words ever again.

Your "aww, hell naw you just didn't say that" awstruck mom

Life update

So yesterday I reported that I bought a desk that my husband was going to have to put together ...and that he was going to love me for it (hehe, that's funny!). A few curses and some re-doing, the desk was finally complete.

This how the desk was turning out to look like.

Me: Um, I think there is something wrong here.

Jason: No, that's what the instructions show.

Me: Um, no, that can't be right. The top of the desk is laying on the ground, and the rest doesn't look very functional.

Jason: Hmm, maybe you're right.

After re-arranging some pieces, he got it almost right. He'll fix the rest this weekend. You see, the board in the back where your knees almost touch, it's turned around the wrong direction, and so is the little bottom board on the right side.

Me: Can you fix it.

Jason: Do you know what I have to take apart just to fix those two pieces?

Me: Please.

Jason: Would you like to do it yourself?

Me: Um, no, just for you to fix it thank you!

So I followed through with going and taking my english and reading placement tests. Dang I hate it when I stress over stuff and then come to find out I didn't need to after all. They request you to take a math placement test also, but let's just face it, I suck at math and I'm just gonna start from the easiest course and make my way up. Let's not embarass myself with that placement test.

But as for the english and reading...how did that turn out you say? Wonderfully! I am exempt from reading...woohoo, no reading classes for me! And for english, I don't have to take any of the starter classes. I am starting where they make everyone start, unless they have to take the english classes that lead up to it, not only am I able to start higher up, but I can choose either English 101 or English 101 Honors. Really now..I'm not too excited over this!

So now I need to see about taking an english and math class online, and then start at one of the community colleges in Spring of 2010. Exciting and nerve wracking all at once...

Random Tuesday Thoughts

So this is my first participation in Random Tuesday Thoughts, straight from The Un Mom.

*Last night was the first volleyball game of the year for my daughter Alyssa and the team. This is her second year playing volleyball, and she is now on the A Team...way to go! There was a lot of improvement since last year, seeing how they only had two practices before their first game. I think our family filled up the majority of the bleachers. Ok, not really, but there were a lot of us there rooting for her and her teammates. Now I know I usually get really excited going to these things, but ya'll really should've seen and heard my husband. He was really having a good time cheering...LOUDLY! It was cute and amusing all at one time. There was one time when the ball came flying directly at me and I pulled a karate move..both arms and one leg went out a once, and I ended up kicking the ball. My husband tells me that it's not soccer...I tell him he better watch it, I just may pull that move on him.

*My husband is going to love me. He always loves it when I buy tables/bookshelves, etc. that he has to put together. Well, I did it again. Oops..well, not really. I bought a desk to put in our sons room. Not only will he have to put the desk together, he's also gonna have to carry it into the house because I'll be darned if I'm gonna try and lift that thing again. I got it into the cart and then into my truck since I'm too proud to ask for help, I ain't doing it anymore though.

*Mmm,this brownie sure is good!

*I really do need to take the time to go down and take a placement test for english and reading. I have decided that I am going to go for the nursing. I think I shall do it on Friday, when I already have to travel out of my out in the middle of nowhere town. Or, maybe I will do it tomorrow as I shouldn't procrastinate and am not doing anything tomorrow anyways.

*I'm happy that my friend Melissa has found a job...but not that she has to travel over half the earth to get there.

*Dear Shortmama...I am still offering the naked boogey dance if you need a good laugh...
