Random Tuesday Thoughts

I've been released from captivity just in time for sharing some random thoughts. Aren't you just lucky? You're taking a little too long to answer that one...

I accomplished things yesterday..minus I still can't see my computer desk. I did make a small dent in it..but then more papers got added to it. It's an endless battle with that desk.

But anywho..on to my random way of thinking..it's kinda like having a real short attention span where you can only think of one thing for a veeeeeerrry short amount of time.

~People...Santa came through for us...in the form of mom and dad...we got our Wii!!!! I know it's not Christmas yet...but mom and dad (on the hubs side) sent something special in a card..and off to Target we went to buy our long awaited Wii. And since Target is sooo awesome..they were giving away $30 gift cards with the purchase of the Wii, so I ended up with some new FREE shirts. That was a great day shopping!

~It was my birthday the other day..and you know what I got?..I got a pair of Doc Martin boots from my hubby..and they came with a lovely blister on my heel. Love the boots, hate the blister. And I also received some money from mom and dad (on hubby's side again)..and you know what I bought with it?..a pair of Guess Jeans and..dadadadah..some buttery soft underwear..from Jockey and some other store. And my friend Shortmama..she made me a rum cake that turned out to be just a cake cause she was drunk.

~Christmas shopping is completely done except for some stocking stuffers. Hmm, while there is some random thoughts going on..I'm noticing that so far it's all falling in the line of shopping.

~I'd like to trade in my Dodge truck for a Pontiac GT G8..or if I could have what I really wanted, then we'd get a Chevy Camaro..I think it's the 2ss? What it comes down to is the hemi in my truck sucks gas like it's nobody's business. I think it has bladder control issues.

In Captivity

Sorry to inform you...Desert Rose has been kidnapped for the day. She's been gone, she has crap to get done and we're holding her captive until she gets crap done.

Signed,

Christmas Cards, Laundry, Computer desk that can't be seen through all the papers, and the neglected nap.

I've Been Slapped With A MeMe!!!

I'm tellin'!!! 3 Boys + 1 Hubby = What Next? has smacked me with a MeMe. Ok, that may have been a little dramatic..possibly I have been hanging out with the kids too much. So here's the honest truth..she tagged me with a Christmas MeMe.

1. Have you started your christmas shopping yet?
Yes...and I'm just about completely finished! WooHoo! I have all the presents for the kids..now just need the gifts for my hubby and for him to buy mine..and then a few stocking stuffers..and then I'm soooo done!

2. Tell me about one of your special traditions.
Well, I guess we don't really have traditions. The closest we come to traditions is we let the kids open one gift on Christmas Eve...and then we always spend Christmas at my Grandmother's house.

3.When do you put up your tree?
In December...no specific date, just when I finally get around to it. As of this day..it's still not up. We really need a new tree though. I am kinda attached to the tree, it's about a 4' white tree, but I think it's cute. But I guess next year we will be getting a new bigger fake tree...but I can't get rid of the one we have, so we will have two!

4. Are you a black friday shopper?
I can't say that I prefer to shop on that day, but I have 2 times. I could definitely go without shopping on that day, but it's hard to pass up some of the deals.

5. Do you travel at Christmas or stay home?
We go just down the road from our home, to my Grandparent's house. Although one of these years I would love to travel and be somewhere else, but that's kind of hard when you have a child that needs to spend time with both parents.

6. What is one of your funniest Christmas memories?
Oh boy..have to dig in the archives...can I tell you now that I have the worst damn memory? I really do, it's pretty sad. But anywho..I think the funniest Christmas memory that I can come up with is when I was working as an emergency dispatcher. My sister-in-law gave me a gag gift of a bowling ball that was purchased from an auction..and we continued to give each other that gag gift.

7. What is your favorite Christmas movie?
The Grinch.

8. Do you do your own Christmas baking? What is your favorite treat?
Well, we have made Christmas cookies before. And a cheesecake once. But..I don't do much baking.

9. Fake or Real tree?
Fake. Nice and simple.

10. What day does the actual panic set in to get it all done?
No panic...no need to panic. Even if there is no money for gifts, or food isn't turning out just as planned, there's no need to panic. I always like to start early enough anyways, I'm not much of a get r'done last minute person anyways.

11. Are you still wrapping presents on Christmas Eve?
No. Matter of fact..I don't even wrap presents anymore...well, except the ones from the big magical guy. Christmas bags are right up my alley.

12. What is your favorite family fun time at Christmas?
Enjoying my family and watching the kids and their excitement opening presents. And being able to give..I love the feeling of being able to give to others.

13. What Christmas craft do you like best?
Can you consider it a craft when you're trying to get the kids presents out of their boxes without destroying their presents..because everything is sealed in the box like it's Fort Knox and parent/child proof? That's a craft right?..when you finally get it all out of the box still intact. Ok, so we don't really have a Christmas craft.

14. Christmas music?
There are some Christmas songs that come on the radio that I do enjoy...but don't enjoy them enough to be able to list off what I like.

15. When do you plan to finish all your shopping?
This coming week, specifically the 18th.

The original version of this meme says to tag 5 blog friends, so that is what I'll do. I'm going to tag:
Ok..really, I'm just gonna say that if you feel like doing this...then have at it!

Just Talkin..Castle Boutique Edition

WARNING: IF YOU'RE EASILY OFFENDED AND DON'T LIKE SEX TALK..DON'T READ THIS POST. You've been warned.

While I would like to think that EVERYONE who is anyone knows what Castle Boutique is, I'll guess that maybe some don't...so I'll let you in on what it is. It's a HUGE wonderful, magnificent, fantabulous adult toy store that makes you feel all giddy. Yes, sex toys people. Otherwise known as my second home. They have toys of all makes, models, sizes...like, OMG sizes..like, that's soooooo completely huge where do you expect me to put that cause I definitely don't come in that size. And then the normal size cool looking ones that you just can't wait to get home. And they have lots of other things too...yummy stuff to slather on bodies, lingerie, games, etc. Pretty much anything your sexual heart desires.

So anywho, my whole point to this little infomercial...it's the people that work there. While I LOVE that store and pleasures it can bring...I seriously can't stand the people that work there. They really do make me sick. Well, not all of them, but way too many for my comfort. Examples of why you ask. Ok, let's just get an image in your dreamy heads...

You walk into Castle Boutique one day to go pick out some hot fun toy, and you're all excited about what that toy will bring you....and then, oh and then you run into a sick ass sales clerk. You know the kind. They look all crazy like, and they are standing there trying to give you unwanted suggestions....and they are telling you how much THEY really enjoy this lube or that stimulator or that penis ring....and to top it off, seriously, this one female sales clerk had the WORST body odor. Now tell me...if you were there to get something for your enjoyment and were to run into one of these ewwy people..wouldn't you schnizzle just fizzle..wouldn't your shrimp go limp. Ya, it would. You see, I'm so not the type to be embarrassed to go to these places, but having to deal with the sales clerks almost makes me want to shop online instead....I said ALMOST...because there's nothing better than shopping the aisles there.

Dear Someone

It's Thursday ya'll..and you know what that means..it's letter writin' day. So let's begin...

Dear Cold Weather,

Ok, a couple days of you was all I really needed, now please be gone with your bad self and bring on the warm days.

Woman who is giving you the warm shoulder..cause I don't want a cold shoulder
Brrrrrr


Dear Kids,

Stop out growing your clothes, because it's just a reminder to me that you are growing up. And I don't like it..I want you guys to stay little bitty. Well, sometimes at least...other times I wish you all were graduated and moved out.

Mixed emotions momma,
Mommy


Dear Allergies,

Oh mah gawd already. I think you may be the only thing I hate in this world..at least for this moment in time. You have tormented me since childhood, and I wish to get you outta my system. I so hope you don't age me before my time due to all the face scratching I have done. I don't want to wake up another day looking like and feeling like I've got a sunburn on parts of my face due to the itching.

Woman who wishes you would scratch off,
Red in the face rose


Dear Writer's Block,

Can't you give me at least a little glimmer of stuff to write about? I'd rather be sitting here typing up something than just..well, sitting here...looking around to see if something can spark up a thought...or just staring at the screen. Feel free to stop on in any time now!

Woman who can't sit here with blank thoughts any longer,
Wordless Rose

I really can't think of anything else right now..I guess I'll blame it on the pitiful sleep due to trying to scratch my face off, which leaves me feeling completely tired and lifeless for the day. If you'd like to participate in Dear Someone letters..then link up with Shortmama.

Creative Writing - Prompt Me Please

Conversation at the breakfast table this morning...

Jayce sees a pencil on the table that is well used and is only about an inch long. Since it is so tiny, Jayce asked "is that pencil young?". He was thinking pencils start out that small when they are young and then they get bigger as they age, just like people!

That has nothing to do with my post for the day, I just thought I'd share the funnies. And just what is my post for the day?...I don't really know, writer's block I guess, sooo..I went to a creative writing prompt site to get some ideas.

#1 ~ What would you say to an uninvited guest?

Well, I guess that would depend on their age. If this person was a child or and elderly person, I would politely let them know the event is by invitation only. Unless it was some it was some bratty kids that just didn't care...then I'd just threaten them to leave now. Now if it was someone I didn't like that decided to show up and crash the event..well now, that's a whole different story, I would not have any problems telling them where to go and how to get there..unless of course they were tough enough to kick my butt, then I would just get my bodyguard aka husband to kick them out.

#2 ~ Write about how you felt when you discovered you were lied to.

You wanna piss me off, then lie to me. I CAN'T STAND to be lied to. How hard is it to tell the damn truth. Say what's on your mind instead of trying to hide stuff or be fake and false in your demeanor because you don't want me to know how you really feel or what you may have done. Honesty is better than being lied to any day, even if the truth is gonna hurt, it won't be as bad as being lied to.

#3 ~ List 10 things you normally do on a rainy day.

*Read
*Watch movies
*Nap
*Drink something warm, like hot cocoa (only during winter rains of course)
*If it's rainy in the summer..take the quads out in the desert and play in the mud
*Watch the rain
*Browse on the computer
*Scrapbook
*Feel like I'm grounded since it's not too good outside
*Have a comfy pajama day

Random Tuesday Thoughts

Happy random Tuesday everyone...even though I feel like it's still Monday since I don't think I slept very well last night. I wonder if this falls into the category of "be careful what you ask for".

~ Here in AZ, we don't get much rain..we're in a drought actually. So when we got rain yesterday, for the whole day..I was ok with that. I even went grocery shopping out in the rain. Now surely, I wouldn't have done that just for the heck of it, I did it because it needed to be done.

Anywho, it rained and it rained. And here in this little town of ours, if there just happens to be a threat of rain, it seems like the electricity always wants to go out. So we were dealing with an electrical outage of and on for most of the night, starting in the 5 p.m. hour. So we had rain, and then no electricity...not anything that couldn't be handled. But then, the wind started, and it was here with a vengeance. I was half expecting our windows to blow in. Ok, not normal here. So this morning I wake up to a phone call from my husband..who is telling me not to freak out, but our wood fence blew over..and it's resting up against the camp trailer in our neighbor's yard. Oh holy hell. Ok, so it doesn't look too damaged...but, do you think the man took the time to remove the fence OFF of the camp trailer before he left for work? Umm, hell no. He.Just.Left.It.There. Seriously.



~ I went to a Redneck Birthday Party for my friend Shortmama's mama..it was very funny..I know she will be doing a post about it at some time this week..but I'm gonna give just a snippet of my attire...

That's me with the underoos on the outside..and Shortmama's takin' a peek...

That there's some naughty redneck women!

~ Since yesterday was a rainy day...after the kids got home from school I made some popcorn and watched the movie I just bought..A Charlie Brown Christmas. And since today is supposed to be rainy too..we'll do the same and this time we'll watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Well I think that's enough randomness for me today..I think I will take a step outside to see if I can find any more damage to our property/house.

If you'd like to join in on the random fun...go and visit The Un Mom.
