Boring day.....Thank God!

Today was an uneventful and boring day. Just what I needed.

I quit my job at Kfart. I just didn't feel like going in today, so I didn't. Dan's been asking me to quit for a few weeks now. He wants me home with the baby instead of us shipping him off to my mothers house every single day of the week. I think I'd like to get a waitressing job. I'd do something more professional, but I can only work weekends, so there really isn't anything.

Despite what people might think of me, because of my poor work ethic. I am a hard worker, just not at corny places that don't offer me a high rate of intrinsic motivation through increased work responsibilities, higher salary and level of work difficulty. I did great at Target as a revision captain, same with managing my dad's store. Of course I don't work at either of those places. So I guess those are bad examples. But I know the reasons why it didn't work out at those jobs, and neither was because I wasn't the absolute best and most dedicated worker I could be. Besides, all these different jobs I've held in the last 10 years(and it's definitely a lot, you name it, I've done it) has taught me a lot about retail, housekeeping, running your own business, the restaurant business, customer service, the medical industry and so much more. Surely all the knowledge I've acquired in the 18,992 positions I've held will help me have some sort of greater success in the future. That, or make it so there isn't a business in the tri-county area that I'm eligible to be hired at. LMFAO! Just being real with yall.

I got a letter from KSU saying that my diploma for my associates degree will be mailed out in 5-7 weeks. It said in the letter that it was a wise decision to get acclimated for my associates before I graduate with my bachelors. I'll probably hang it on the wall to remind myself how far I've come and that you can always make things better. No matter what. Maybe it will be a stepping stone into a better career before I graduate. Not likely though, with my current availability.

I've been addicted to "Rock of Love". It's a reality show about Brett Micheals finding true love. It's exactly like "Flavor of Love" only Brett looks 110% better than Flavor Flave. A lot better, UGH....

It was a great season finale. I'm glad he went the way that he did. I have to find out if Erin wants to watch it before I disclose any juicy details. :)

The house is becoming livable again. I still have a good two days of housework though. What a party. Poor Sarah was sick all day because of it. LOL!

Time for the Postsecret "SECRET OF THE WEEK"

I picked this one, because I sat there for a good two minutes trying to wrap my head around it. I don't really know what the hell they were talking about. Fake honeymoon?


Ladies, I'm getting real excited about the male review. I hope you all are too. It's going to be a lot of fun. Lets all party hard and enjoy ourselves. So Erin, that is a yes. I am definitely going. Although, I must say I'm a little worried about being judged by John's sister. I can't remember which one she was, but those girls seemed like they didn't really like me too much. Plus, you better be a good girl while you're there with her "black licorice". LMFAO!

I'm tired. I'm going to bed early. I have another exam already tomorrow. I'm glad I quit my lame job and I'll have a few weekends to really devote myself to school work. I had something else to talk about but I forgot what it was. So eff it. Speaking of eff it, Did you all know there's a vodka called "Effen" vodka. If it wasn't so expensive I was going to buy it for the party. Just so I could have the pleasure of walking around all night making corny jokes about how people are getting effin drunk off effen vodka. I'm real corny like that. LOL!

It's all over.....but not quite.

Today was crazy!

It's 3:20 am. The party is over. It was a good party. A lot of people showed up. Danny was very surprised. He said that he never thought for one second that I was throwing him a surprise party. I had a good time. The food was good. I think everyone all in all had a good time.

Surprisingly enough, I don't feel drunk. I quit drinking a few hours ago and the alcohol seems to have worn off for the most part.

Erin was the best. She did so much that I feel completely guilt stricken at the moment. I don't know if I should be happy I have such a devoted friend, or feel really bad that I even let her do that much. I guess I'll enjoy it while I can, and rest assured that she knows I would do the very same for her if it were ever possible.

I thank all my other friends who helped too. Stacey actually helped a lot. She kept an eye on the baby while I got myself ready for the party. If not for her, I would have looked hit. Sarah was also great. She let me borrow some of her luxurious and pricey party gear, making my party just that much more wonderful. She also stuck it out at the party with me and at least pretended to be having a good time with me.

On a sad and horrible note, my house looks despicable. After all the hard work I put into it, I'll have to turn around and do all that and more to make it look normal again. My floors are disgusting. My son won't even be able to play downstairs until I re-scrub all the carpets. Which I just fucking did like 3 days ago. My freshly laid kitchen floor looks like somebody wiped a hot pile of shit all over it. I really could cry over it. I'll tell you right now, this is bar none the worst my house has ever looked after any party I've ever had. I am never, I repeat NEVER, having a party like this in my house ever again. We might have a small bonfire during the summer or whatever, but no parties. This was too much work, it was too stressful and my house looks like hell.

I hope everyone had a good time. I hope I looked half as cute as I felt. I hope the food was as good as all the time and money I put into it. I know Danny loved it and I guess that's all that matters. Boy, am I glad this shit is over.

It's crunch time baby!

Today was a stressful day.

I had a shitload to get done today but couldn't do it because I had to work 1-10pm at K-fart. That was a huge waste of time. I should have requested it off. I started having a pretty bad anxiety attack after I'd been there a couple of hours. I had so much on my mind. I went to my mom's on my lunch break and she gave me some herbal anxiety medicine. I think that stuff is pretty hokey, but I have to admit that I did calm down after I took it.

I just finished all my cleaning. I'm sitting down relaxing and trying to wind down. I fixed myself some leftover taco meat and made a couple tacos. They look delicious.

I have a lot to do tomorrow. I have lots of people to help me do it though. Pretty much all that's left is setting up and getting myself looking on point. Shouldn't be too hard, I hope.

I hope a lot of people show up. Or I'll be pissed. Seriously. I went to a lot of trouble for this party. All the people I really want to be there will be, so I guess that's all that matters.

I will be breathing a huge sigh of relief when this is all finally over. I'm hoping the sigh of relief will come before the party, so that I might enjoy myself during the party.

Well, I will talk to you all later. Hopefully tonight at the party! :)

Hustle and Bustle!

Today was a busy and sick day.

First off, I went to Stacey's house Wednesday night and watched "Knocked Up" with her and Erin. The movie was really funny. I drank a whole large bottle of wine during the movie and I was drunk off my ass. Well, I got really sick on the way home and puked. Then I puked for like an hour at home. Finally I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up in the morning I had vomit all down my chin and all over my neck. The first thing I did when I stood up was puke again. I've never been that sick from drinking ever in my life. I felt shitty all day long, even now I still feel nauseous. It was a waste of a perfectly good night and most of my Thursday. All I did was lay down until I had to be at school. To make matters worse, I think I might have averted myself from wanting to drink on Saturday(don't worry friends, I'm sure I'll muster up some confidence once I feel better). I really don't know my limit. I drink way too fast and before I know it I'm sick. Every time I do it, I swear off drinking for the rest of my life. It's just so stinking fun though. :)

I got all the food made for the party. Erin is helping me out so much. I don't know what I would have done without her and the resources she's been able to offer me through her catering business. Everything is falling into place nicely. I wish I would have requested off work for tomorrow because I still have a lot to do. This party is going to be the bomb. There will be good food and drinks and of course ME. All I need is the right amount of guests.

Well, I have a lot to do. So I need to get off of here.

Only 3 days Mutha Effa!

Today was a decent day.

I'm still right on track with my agenda for the party. Tomorrow is the big shopping excursion. I have to buy EVERYTHING tomorrow. All the food, the liquor, and the decorations. I'm also spending my evening at Erin's catering business getting the food ready. That is awfully convenient. I won't have to worry about hiding food. Plus she has lots of supplies and garnishments for making platters and such. I'm hoping to have a little time on Friday and Saturday to get myself something cute to wear and possibly get my nails done. I want to be looking on point. I usually run out of time in that department and end up looking all stressed out and haggardly. On the day of, the only things I will have to do(god willing!) are decorate, set up, pop a few pre-prepared foods in the oven and beautify myself.

Today was my weigh in for Weight Watchers. I lost 2.6 pounds. That's a good loss, I think. My biggest in a few weeks anyway. Slowly but surely I'm reaching my goal. I'm down a total of 43.4 pounds. I'm only 4 lbs from my pre-pregnant weight. That's debatable though. I was working out a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant, and weighed myself on their scales, and I was 170. Then, not even a week or two later I found out I was pregnant and when I went to see the OBGYN they clocked me at 180. So, I debate about which I should consider my pre-pregnant weight. I don't much care. All I care about is that this is working for me and that I'm doing a good job and I'm not giving up. I feel healthier and more in control and my bowels are running like a well-oiled machine. LMFAO!

I got the results back from the exam I took the other day. I got an 87. It was a little less than I was hoping for, but I'm sure I'll ace the next one. Now that I know how the teacher formats his tests I'll be able to study more effectively.

I guess that's all for this evening.

Would you forgive me love, if I danced in your shower?

Today was mildly stressful.

I didn't fall asleep till 4 am last night, even though I layed down at 1. I've got lists upon lists running through my head. I'm thinking I should start taking some Tylenol PM or something to help me fall asleep this week. The last thing I need is sleep deprivation adding to this "bitchfest". I put so much pressure on myself. Everything has to be perfect and my house has to be immaculate. Anything that is in my control has to be perfect. Anything out of my control, better fucking change it's mind and decide to be under my control after all. LMFAO! (That made me smile)

It's been nearly impossible to not let the big news slip to Dan. I mean, it's me guys....I couldn't keep my mouth shut if someone had a gun to my face trying to make me. So this has been almost impossible. I've caught myself mid sentence about ten times a day. I keep wanting to talk about it.


So today I was wondering.....have you ever had something in the dirty laundry for so long that you forgot about that shit?? I did laundry today, and it's been a while. I pulled a pair of jeans out of the dryer like, "Hey, where'd these come from? Oh yeah, they're mine." That and it's safe to say that Dan and I don't repeat our outfits too often in a short span of time. You wear something, throw it in the laundry, and you don't get to wear it again for a month. That's nasty, I know. But it makes me laugh. How can a neat freak be so neglectful when it comes to certain things like laundry. If I were rich, I'd pay somebody to do it for me. That and all my other housework too. Only I'd probably just be freaking out all the time because they weren't doing it right.

Nothing more to say this evening.

I finally got my Coach bag!

This is my second post of the evening, but I was excited and couldn't help myself.

So I've had my eye on a particular Coach purse for a while now. I'm of course way too cheap to pay full price for it, so I've been hunting it down for a good price on Ebay. Well, I've been bidding on the same one for over a month. The lady keeps relisting it but nobody meets her bid reserve(which is just a minimum that the seller sets for the item to sell, if nobody bids that high, the seller isn't required to sell the item). I've bid on it each time she's put the item up. Finally, this time, I just sent her an email and asked her to just sell it to me and she did. I hope it meets my expectations when I see it. I love the pictures and all, but I've never seen the bag in person. I can't wait to get it!
Here's what it looks like. And yes, it's 100% authentic.

Only 5 Days Till My Head Explodes!

Today was an unproductive day.

I had to study all day and do my homework. So I didn't get much done. I got my everyday cleaning done(dishes, straightening...), but I have yet to do the rooms that I put on my schedule for this weeks major cleaning for the party. I will do them though. As soon as I get off of here.

I'm already losing it a little bit. I'm so glad Erin is helping me with everything. She's going to be my sense of sanity for the week. I already warned her though, that she's going to get yelled at least once this week. Even if it has nothing to do with her. Like "God damn, I'm out of aluminum foil Erin!" That and I'm glad a few of my friends have agreed to enter the wrath of hell on the day of the party and help me get things ready(my mom, Sarah, Erin, Stacey-not sure about her so much, she might bug me). I'm very excited, but still so overwhelmed. Why do I insist on torturing myself like this?? LOL!

Leonardo is popping out little teeth all over that mouth of his. I'm glad they're finally breaking through. He's my little happy angel again. No more incessant whining....at least for now. Here's some of his new little chiclet teeth.


Over and out!

Do work son!

Today was horrible!

Not for any good reason besides I hate work. I was so close to quitting today. Dan has been begging me to. Today he kept sending me texts telling me to walk out. I came close a few times. I had a hundred better things to do with my time than be at K fart.

I have an exam tomorrow. I didn't get a chance to really study. I thought I would at work, but I was busy doing maintenance in different departments for inventory. I will finish out my night studying for it and I'll also study tomorrow. I hope I do good.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for....It's "The Secret of the Week" from Postsecret


I read the secrets earlier this morning, and for some reason I kept thinking about this one. I guess because I really feed on attention and feeling pretty. I can tell already that my body has changed a lot since I had the baby. Youth and beauty fade fast. It's probably a good idea for me to stop focusing attention on my looks now before I end up really disappointed in the next 10 years or so. Just a thought.


Not much to say tonight. That and I should be studying, not posting shit on my blog. :)

It's da bomb, I know you hear me comin. It's da bomb, so you betta watch yo back.

Another boring day that I got nothing done in.

I hate working 9 hour days at K fart. It makes it seem like you were there all day or something. Because by the time I get up with the baby at 10, feed him his breakfast, eat my breakfast, get a shower....it's fucking time to go to work. I hate it. They did just hire a new person in Major Appliances, so I think that means they will probably cut my hours at least a little. I figure at this point that's a good thing.

I just found out that all my girls will be taking me out for a birthday extravaganza. It will include lots of booze and half naked men. I'm very excited and I love my friends for being such good sports and doing this with me. So far, for sure, it's Erin, Amanda, Sarah, and Stacey. I also invited Heather. My brother in law is giving me some grief about it, but I hope he will come around because I really want her there. This is my "post" bachelorette party. I never got one because I was pregnant and this is it. LOL!

I watched "The Departed" with Dan last night. I really liked it a lot. Great movie, I highly recommend it. Only thing is, I might have only liked it because Leonardo Dicaprio was in it and he's the hottest man on earth. There was a sex scene with him that had my teeth sweating. Man, I'll tell you what, if I ever made love to him, God could take me right then. My life would have reached it's pinnacle. LMFAO! I mean, I know I think other famous guys are cute or whatever, but I literally get "excited" when I'm watching Leonardo Dicaprio. I also really enjoy his movies. I think he's a great actor. I fell in love with him in "Romeo and Juliet" and I've been a die hard fan ever since. I even liked the really gay movies he made like "Man in the Iron Mask" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"(even though it makes me feel weird to be attracted to a retard. LOL!)I ♥ him!!!



I also really like this guy. I don't really know who he is, but he is a mix between Leonardo Dicaprio and Nick Lachey, and I don't think you can get much closer to perfection than that.


And here's a special shot out to my boy, Nick Lachey. LOL!


All right, I'm going to go rub one off now. Good bye! (LOL! Just kidding, I'll probably do some homework.)

I love gold fishes cause they're so delicious!

Today was shitty because I had to go to work.

Seriously, I hate working. I just want to stay home all day and be with my baby and do anything but go to work. I figure I'm really lazy. I have the easiest job ever and I still hate it.

I got some more shirts today for projects. I'm a dork. Seriously, I don't know when I'll even have time to make all these dang shirts. I really enjoy doing it though, so I'll make time.

Next Saturday is the big party. This is going to be hell week. I'm going to be freaking out. Just to let you all know ahead of time, so you're not surprised when I turn into a demon with my head spinning around spitting out green pea soup. I've made out a schedule of what I have to do every day up until the party. We'll see how well I follow my own agenda. Knowing me I'll be scrubbing my toilet at 6:30 pm on Saturday. LOL! Dan is going golfing with his dad and brother for 4 hours the day of. So that will be crunch time. Lucky for me I have some super friends who've agreed to come early and help. So I'm sure everything will be wonderful. I can't wait to get sloppy drunk and give everybody something to make fun of me for weeks about. LOL! Actually, I don't plan for that. But since it happens nearly every time, I figure I should just start planning on it.

I have a huge exam on Monday. I'm trying to study when I can. I really hope I do good. I'm on a straight A roll. I don't want to blow it. I've never studied before tests before, so the fact that I'm putting some effort in should at least get me something.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading.

I forgot the title

Today was busy.

I finished two shirts today. One was a Chris Daughtry hoodie for Heather. The other was a t shirt for me. I thought they turned out well.

We had a birthday dinner for Heather. I went and got a bunch of steaks from West End carry out. We cooked them on the grill, fixed all the trimmings and had a ridiculously late dinner at around 10:30 pm. I ate way too much and now I'm really sick. I keep acting like I can put food away like I used to, and I can't. It makes me ill. She really liked the sweatshirt I made her, or at least she acted like it. LOL! If she doesn't like it, I also got her a dildo to go with it, so she can go fuck herself. LOL!

Here's some pics of Heather's hoodie....




Here's a pic of the cute "made by me" label I put in the inside of the shirt. Or well...it would have been cute if the iron hadn't scorched it and you couldn't see the original Hanes logo through it. It also has instructions on it for how to care for and launder the shirt. Iron on transfers have rules. LOL! You can click on it to see it bigger and read it.


Here's the pics of the shirt I made for myself. Contrary to what my father in law said the first time he read it, it doesn't say "Lemonade". LMFAO! I figured some people will think it's an "I love Leonardo Dicaprio" shirt. But for me, that makes it a win win situation.

That's right folks, I am gay!


Well friends, quote the Raven, "never more".

Tastes like chicken!

Today was a usual day.

I worked hard all night on two of my stenciling projects. Both are almost done. Starting is the hardest part for me. But once I embark on a project there's no stopping me. I'm compulsive about finishing it. The one thing I really hate about stenciling is having to wait for it to dry. I really really really want to peel off the stencil and see how it ended up. But no...you have to wait till it dries. Not minutes either, but hours. I got a little impatient and peeled up a corner after about an hour. The suspense was killing me.

So far both are turning out well. One is a multi layer stencil that I had to carve 3 separate stencils for. The other was a mix between stenciling and an iron on transfer. I used glitter glaze on both of them. Both are partially done. The glitter looks good on the dark red I used, but not the white(you can't really see it). I was afraid to put too many layers on, in fear that the paint might peel.

Waiting for it to dry...


Supplies, supplies, supplies..



I'm really glad Sarah taught me how to stencil. It's something fun to do in my spare time that really relaxes me. I hope she's not mad and thinking I'm a big fat copy catter. I was really hoping this was going to be something we could enjoy together and tell each other our tales of failure and triumph, and all the good ideas we had. But of course, I always have some weird fanciful idea of things in my head. :)

School was boring. I did see an advisor from the school of business. Much to my dismay he says I'll have to start taking classes at main campus next semester because Kent Stark doesn't have all the classes for accounting majors. I really didn't want to go there. Their tuition is twice as much as Kent Stark's tuition. At Kent Stark a full time semester is around $2,000. At main it's over $4,000. On top of that, it's a drive to west bufu. My usual 20 minute drive will now be almost an hour. I suppose it's all worth it.

Also, I put in my application to get my diploma for my Associates degree. I earned enough credits for it last year. Not because I plan on quitting, but because it looks better on resumes when you have an associates in one field and a bachelors in another. It could also offer you a foot in the door for a better job while you're waiting to graduate. That and maybe my husband will believe me that I've really been accomplishing something these last few years. LOL!

My weigh in was today. I lost .6 lbs. For a total of 40.8. I don't know how. Other than I do follow my 8 healthy guidelines religiously. So maybe my belly is so full of veggies, dairy and water that it can't absorb fat. Or at least that's my new theory. Still, I could have done better. I need to get pumped up. I'm very much looking forward to my meeting Saturday. That should help.

Here's my super motivational Weight Watchers board....



What a boring, boring post. Am I right??? I'm practically falling asleep just typing it. LMFAO! But here's me pretending to be excited about blogging....


Have a great day yall!

Six foot tall, came without a warning, so I had to shoot him down.

Today was hectic. Like every other day of my life. I always have so much on my plate at once.

Tomorrow is weigh in for Weight Watchers. I really don't think I did well. It was a rough week. I ate some pretty ridiculous stuff. Not just a little either. A lot. Like I had Chinese food for dinner two nights in a row. Granted, it was one meal that I only ate half of both nights. Chinese food, however, is the most nasty and fattening of all foods. It is null of any nutritional value whatsoever. Also, the night I visited Sarah at the gas station, I wolfed down a bag of salt and vinegar chips, a candy bar, and a cheese filled hot dog like I had never eaten food in my life. Hopefully, I escaped a gain. We'll see tomorrow evening.

Today was the first day of my DBT(dialectical behavioral therapy)course. I was referred to it by my therapist. It is supposed to be the cure all/end all of my type of depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, not to be confused with Bipolar Disorder, they aren't the same. It basically teaches you to center you thoughts and emotions and to be more in control of them. It's supposed to help me be less reactive to situations and to have more positive thinking patterns. I really hope it works. It's an 18 week class that meets every Tuesday for two hours. Today's class went pretty well. I liked it a lot better than I thought I would. It almost reminded me of Yoga, but with a lot more talking. We had to do some breathing exercises and we learned some different thought aversion techniques which are both meant to keep your mind off of negativity or being highly emotional.

It makes me happy when I feel like I'm taking control of problems in my life. Whether it's working harder in class, or losing weight, or battling my negative thought patterns and depression.

I started one of my shirts tonight. The hardest part, for me, is deciding what exactly I want on the shirt. It took me an hour and a half just to decide how I wanted lettering to be, what colors I wanted and all that bull shit.

I got to try out the new exacto knife I bought and it's awesome. It's called a swivel knife. I thought that was weird at first, but once you use it it's great. The blade swivels as you trace. So you can cut round edges without even picking up your blade(I usually don't lift the blade anyway, but then you have to keep turning the paper, and the lines aren't that great). The lines are nice and smooth too, not choppy like with the standard knife.

I'm really excited for the party. I wish I could remind everyone about it. There's no real way to do that though, since half of them aren't even my friends.

Well, that's all for tonight. Nothing exciting. Like this....

Hey mista talley man, talley me banana!

It's been a busy day.

Dan and Scotty put in my new kitchen floor. It looks great! It really brightens up the room. The cat can't get enough of it. He's been batting a toy mouse around in there for hours now. Animals are so funny.

I went to Pat Catans today and got some more supplies for my new stenciling hobby. I bought some paints, paint dishes, and an exacto knife that had a really small blade on it(I have 2 of them already, but for some reason I thought one with a tiny blade might come in handy),and I got some glitter glaze(I'm hoping that looks nice on shirts).

While I was there I also got a 10x14 piece of canvas. I've been wanting to put a piece of framed art in Leonardo's room. I've been flip flopping around with the idea since before he was born. I have a nice picture frame that I can paint green to match the trim in his room. At one time I was going to put a picture of the Mona Lisa in it(Leonardo Davinci), but I ultimately decided that she might frighten small children. Then I was going to put a large and colorful world map in it, and decided it didn't match the decor in the room. Then my final and best idea yet was for Dan's mom to paint a picture of a lion to put in it(Leonardo means lion in Italian). She is a very skilled artist. Well, I asked her to do that before Leonardo was born. I brought it up enough times to be annoying and it's now almost a year later and I still don't have a lion painting for his room. So I found a cool Lion stencil and I'm just going to make it my damned self. LOL! I also want to put his name on it and write out the definition of his name. Like the way they do those plaques at the fair. It should be fun. Here's the stencil....


I also bought myself a grey tshirt at Target today to put this stencil on with Leonardo's name in the heart:


And I bought a little brown tshirt to make a Kurt Cobain tshirt for Leonardo. I want to put the lyrics "Come as you are" or something like that on the back:


I guess all my dedication to school is paying off so far. I got A's on my first two exams. Today I got back my Statistics exam. I was really excited about it because I knew the material really well and I was hoping not to miss any. Before the teacher passed them back, she wrote down everybody's scores on the board(without names of course) and made a little frequency distribution chart out of them, just to be "teaching" I guess. Then she went around the room and passed them out. When she called my name she stopped in front of me before she handed it to me. Held the test back and smiled at me. Then handed it to me. I got 100%. On top of that I was the only one in the class who did. That was nice. Then when I went to pick up Leonardo from my mom's house my mom was all super excited about the test and wanted to hang it on the fridge. It felt nice to have someone give me a little positive reinforcement. Danny doesn't give a crap if I pass or fail. He never even asks. I would take a picture of the test just to give you a visual, but of course my mom has it. LOL! Not that I've never had an A before. It's just nice to think about for today. That and I'm all about visual aids. I'm going to get ridiculous with them at some point here. Taking pictures of my fingers typing or some odd shit. LOL!

Here's a pic of Leonardo with his cousins. It's from the Heart Walk on Saturday. See them sporting my own handy work. :)



Well, I think that's all I've got for this evening. Enjoy!

Sunday Bloody Sunday!!!!

Here's farewell to the weekend. It was a good one too.

I'm starting my next stenciling project tomorrow. I can't go into detail for reasons I will specify later. But I will post pictures of it.

Leonardo cut his first tooth yesterday. I was the last person to notice it. Erin was the first. He's got like 5 of them coming in at once. Poor guy.

I've decided that every Sunday I am going to honor my favorite postcard from PostSecret.com, in a little segment I'll call "THE SECRET OF THE WEEK"(*yelled in a loud booming man voice*)

And the winner is....

...because I can't figure out how the bitch got away with it. I'd certainly catch a toenail if it was in my mac and cheese. I also liked it because haven't I dreamed a million times of doing something ridiculous to Dan for leaving messes all over the house. Nothing like that though. I would probably just throw all his dirty clothes in the yard or something. I should start putting all the little shards of dental floss he piles in my shower onto his pillow or something. LMFAO!

Super Fun Friday Night! Yay!

So last night was interesting to say the least. I had a great time. I went to the comedy club with Amanda P., Erin, Dan and his friends Carl and Rick. We drank a bunch of shots before we left of course. And then drank more at the show, of course. The show was okay. As good as they get at the Funny Stop Comedy Club(it was so much better back in the day). Afterward we went to the little bar that's attached to the comedy club. I danced and had a great time as usual.

Now to the interesting part. I was dancing with Dan. I started talking to a guy who was a few feet away from me(because I was drunk). I was trying to talk him into dancing with some girls that he was eyeing. Well, instead of dancing with them, He proceeds to get ridiculously close to me....with Dan dancing with me. He started talking in my face all flirty and then he reached out with his hands like he was going to kiss me or something and Dan went ape shit and pushed the guy across the floor. I thought that was the end of it. But a few minutes later some of the guys' friends were talking shit to Dan and started another fight with him. Punches were thrown, Dan's friends jumped in, and we were all kicked out of the bar.

It was pretty exciting to say the least. I'm not sure how much of it I should blame myself for. I mean, No, I probably shouldn't engage every single person I come across in conversation. Considering it was me, and I was drunk, it was basically unavoidable. At the same time, though, I never gave that guy any indicator whatsoever that I was inviting him to invade my personal space. Especially with my husband dancing with me: Weird! I still feel bad for Dan. He's my man and he looks out for me, and I love him.

So then this morning after all that ruckus, I had to get up at 7 am to go to a benefit walk for the American Heart Association. Erin and Dan had to go to. I think we were still drunk during the walk. LOL! So needless to say I'm very tired and I'll sleep very well tonight. Only I'll probably be up kind of late again, because I just made dinner(at 11:45 pm!) and Sarah got stuck working a double at her job because somebody called off and I'll probably go visit her because I feel sorry for her. :)

Good night all!

This shit had me rolling! LOL!

I am he, as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together.

So today commemorates the last day I will ever have to vacuum my kitchen floor. Why is that? Because Monday my hubby is putting in our new kitchen floor. No more dingy, multi-colored striped carpeting in my kitchen. YAY! In its place will be shiny, new laminate wood flooring. I'm excited.

Leonardo pulled up into a sitting position for the first time today. Not a big deal to anyone but me I'm sure. To me though, these are signs of things to come. He's been a shit face all day because he's teething. 75% of me feels so horrible for him because I know my baby is in pain. The other 25% wants to put some duct tape over his mouth. LOL! Just kidding!

So I finished my stenciling project. I had to make 19 shirts for a fundraiser I'm doing on Saturday. They turned out pretty well. Only a few of them looked a little botched because the paint bled. Erin and Dan offered to take one for the team and wear those ones. :) I'm not sure why I offered to do them in the first place. It started out as only 4 shirts and then that turned into 19 of them. Sarah taught me how to do them. I'm glad she did, it was something neat to know how to do. Now that it's all said and done I'm glad I didn't make her do them for me. I would have felt really sorry for her. It was a lot of work. Just glad it's over with.

Another thing I'll be happy will be ending is vegetable season. We grew everything in our garden: cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell peppers, jalapenos, habeneros, chili peppers, cilantro, banana peppers, raspberries and strawberries. In spite of the poor crop season in Ohio, we grew quite a lot. I had vegetables out the wazoo. I spent days chopping peppers, removing the seeds and freezing them. Then more days blanching tomatoes, peeling them, removing the seeds and freezing those. I swear we are not planting that much next year. I can only take so much of it.

Here are some pics of my first stenciling project.(Note to all: You can click on the pictures to see them bigger. Also, I posted some pictures on my first post, check those ones out too.)

Here's one of the messed up ones:



See the bloody, bloody mess:



And this one was so bad I tried fixing it with white paint(thank god these were the only two bad ones):

Something else to waste my time doing.

So yeah....here I am with myspace, and ebay, and my friends' blogs, and postsecret, and online bill pay, and internet banking, and now to add to the list of ways I waste my time on the computer, I started a blog. I guess when you spend your day at home taking care of a 10 month old baby you get a little bored. I keep the house almost perfectly clean, I get all my homework and studying done, and I've even worked in some time for crafts. Still, I feel like I should pry myself away from the computer for at least a day or two, just to make sure I won't die without it. LOL!

One of my passions right now is Weight Watchers. I'm borderline obsessed. I've lost 40 pounds in 5 months and it's not looking like the end is anywhere near. I've never stuck to any weight loss program for so long. I'm only 32 pounds from my goal. I'm going to make it. Just thought I'd give everyone the heads up that WW will be a big topic of discussion in my blog.

I went shopping at Pat Catans craft store yesterday. I finally got a box to do my scrap boxing project. Here's a brief summary: Instead of making a scrapbook, which doesn't offer much versatility in the way of saving mementos or bulky items, you decorate one big box, then you decorate little boxes to put inside the big one. You decorate the boxes according to what's inside of them, or really however you'd like. You can also decorate a folder for documents, decorate a picture album, whatever you want. This is perfect for me because I have so many mementos collected for my son: hospital bracelets, my pregnancy tests, the newspaper from the day he was born, baby clothes, etc. I can save everything in one personalized, organized, attractive box. I'm planning on trying out a cheap decoupage idea my friend Nikki gave me. I want to have it completed by his first birthday so I can have it on display at his party. I should have plenty of time. I'd also like to get one of these books made to put inside the box. They are very reasonably priced and seem like a great keepsake (Erin, these are the books I was telling you about yesterday.)

I'm really looking forward to my husband's surprise birthday party. I love planning parties. That is until the day of when I'm freaking out because I put everything off till the last minute. LOL! I know it's going to be a good party.

I've really been putting my all in to my school work so far this semester. Even if it has only been a few weeks, I feel validated in saying that. I would have been lazy from the get go any other semester. Right now, I am a B average student. It has suddenly become important to me that I finish out my degree with an A average. I want to be able to look back on college and feel like I did my best. So far I've just felt like crap about it, because I know I'm half-assing it. I miss a shitload of classes, I put off studying till the day of the exam, I don't do homework, I don't read my chapters. I've made a promise to myself this semester that I won't miss any class, and I'm going to do all my homework and studying. Fuck reading the chapters though. That's just taking it too far. LOL!

I'm looking forward to my night out with Amanda, Erin and my hubby tonight. We're doing some drinking and going to the comedy club. I'm sure it will be a good time.

I love Leonardo so much. Sometimes tears just well up in my eyes when I look at him. I can't believe I made something so wonderful. I feel so fortunate to have him in my life. He's changed everything for me. He is growing up so unbelievably fast. I'm certain that it will only be a few moments from now that he is all grown up and on his own. It's sad to think about really. But I know he better not be no 35 year old loser living in my basement either. LOL!

Here's a pic of how I got all my stuff ready for scrap boxing. Laying things on my computer room couch is a little reminder to myself to "Do this now!":


Here's the cool box I'm going to be using for the project. Yay!:




Bye all! Have a great day! And thanks for reading!
