Who's getting ducking frunk on New Year's?? ME!!!!

Today is a day of unproductivity.

I have so much to get done around my house. And I'm doing none of it. I have at least 2 months worth of laundry. I have a pile of dishes that's been sitting on the counter since......I'm embarrassed to say. All because I am just lazy.

Now, to the subject of the New Year. I don't make resolutions because resolutions are made to be broken. But I am trying to make a fresh start. That's what the new year is for, right?? I'm going to jump back on the WW bandwagon full force. I never really quit. It was more like a WW vacation. :) So I need to get back on that.

I'd like to get my finances in order. Tax time should help with that. I'll need to find another job though, because Macy's is closing down and I only had a seasonal position.

I'd like to limit my drinking. But that has sort of happened on its own. I haven't drank since the night at the hypnotist. Nor have I felt like it. I just had to get the party girl out of my system. She comes around every now and again to haunt me. I never smoke now. That was a fleeting thing.

I want to keep doing well in school. I have been putting a lot of effort into it and seeing good results. This semester coming up is going to be one of my hardest by far. I am sure of it. I'll be taking 2 of the 4 classes that will either make or break me in my major. I am confident that I will be just fine. There really isn't anything in this world I can't be taught. Some things take a little more time and effort, but I'm very intelligible.

I want to pay more attention to my dog. That's dumb, but I've been feeling like I neglect him. I'm always with the baby and the cat. It's like he just lives in our house and we don't notice him. It's kind of his own fault though. I mean, the cat and the baby don't leave me alone. They are always following me around and crawling all over me(yes, both of them). The dog always just hides somewhere and sleeps.

I want to spend more time with my son. I feel like I don't spend enough time reading to him or playing games with him. I need to start teaching him stuff. I mean, I do, but I'd like to do more of that.

I want to start going to church again. I've had an alarm set on my phone for the last few months that goes off to remind me to go to church on Sunday. I still have yet to go. I need to figure out times for mass. I definitely feel most comfortable in a Catholic church. Catholics don't have the best reputation, but I like their ceremony the best. That and those at black Baptist churches, but we won't go there. I'd like to introduce Leonardo to all different kinds of religion. That way he's well rounded and can make a good decision about what he believes. After all you can't know your own views until you know all those opposing them.

I want to be nicer to Dan. He's definitely my punching bag. When I've had a bad day or a bad round of Guitar Hero, he gets the brunt of it. That and I'm sure our sex life has been less than satisfactory to him since the birth of the baby. I feel like he just takes my crap and comes back smiling and ready for more. He says he likes it. He's crazier than me I think. He works so hard and he's always here for us. He's an outstanding husband and father. I am the luckiest wife in the world. I hope he is always by my side. He doesn't care if I cook or clean. He doesn't care if I'm chubby looking or I don't wear make-up or decent clothes every day. No relationship or person is perfect. Our marriage and Dan is no exception. But I think I have it pretty well and I should count my blessings and quit being so mean to him all the time. I don't beat him or anything. I just get crabby and annoyed at him pretty easily some days.

Hmmmmm...what else? I want to spend more time with my friends, especially Erin. We should schedule a board game and cocktail night here really soon.

Okay, I could type this blog all day. So I'll just end it with The Secret of the Week from Postsecret.com I chose this one because it fits the blog appropriately.


This one gets an honorable mention because it's some funny shit.


Well, that's all folks.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Today was an uplifting day full of joy, love and thanks.

I spent time with most of my favorite people in the world. I wish I could have seen Sandy, Carthel and Jada. That would have made the day perfect. Days like this make me realize how much I love my family. I might not know my real parents but, between foster parents, in-laws and friends, I have all the love any person could ask for. I am so truly blessed.

We really didn't buy Leonardo anything. We figured since he's so little and has no idea what's going on that we would skip the whole "put up a tree" and "spend shit loads of money" routine this year. We have many years of that to come. We might as well spare ourselves. However, just like I knew would happen he still made out like a bandit. Between the $100 his great grandma gave him and all the toys and clothes he got from his aunts, uncles and grandparents he was spoiled rotten. I spent a good while re-arranging his playroom to fit all the new toys. Here's some pics. Take special care to notice his 4 "rides". It's like he's on MTV Baby Cribs or something. LOL!!





Dan and I got lots of presents as well. We both got $100 each from his grandmother and $50 bucks each from his parents. My family is too poor for such things. LOL!! But my mom in Alliance did send our whole family a $50 Visa gift card. My parents and grandma in Massillon got us an Entertainment book(one of those giant coupon books for restaurants and movies and shit, I love them, they save you a butt load), a portable swivel sweeper broom thingy, a giant soft fluffy browns blanket and a candle.

Dan and I actually managed to scrape up enough to shop for each other this year. We haven't bought for each other for about the last 25 holidays. I got him two fitted baseball caps from the mall, a new pair of slippers and "The Simpsons Movie".

He got me a new red leather purse, a pair of 14k gold earrings, a big comfy OSU sweatshirt, a cute stretchy red t-shirt, a giant bottle of 80 proof vodka, a bottle of Aftershock(liquor), and "Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix" on DVD.

I really love presents but I feel bad that we didn't really spend that much on anyone. Mostly because they all told us they wouldn't be spending anything on us. My parents all said they'd be broke and were skipping gifts. Same with Dan's parents. Butt holes!!! I hate it when they do that. But it was still nice of them to think of us. I definitely feel spoiled.

And as usual these days I'm late...but here's the "Secret of the Week" from Postsecret.com I chose it because good god damn.....she is a ho, ho, ho. LOL!!!!


So what did you all get for Christmas?? Do tell. I love hearing what people get for Christmas. Tell me what you did to. Also, if you are interested I finally uploaded all the videos from the night Dan got hypnotized. If you'd like to watch them they are at this site they are each funny in their own right. We should have just shot them all as one but we didn't really think about it at the time.
To witness Dan's crazy night, click here!

I guess that's all for this evening. I hope you all had a good day.

Set me free why don't you baby, get out my life why don't you baby. Cause you don't really want me, you just keep me hanging on!

Today was pretty different.

I agreed to sing Christmas carols at the VA hospital in Akron. It was lots of elderly veterans. It made me feel good to do something like that. But still, it was weird and I think I officially hate Christmas music now that I had to sing like 15 songs by myself in front of a bunch of people. It was different though. And you guys know me....I'm all about different.

I had a fun weekend. I went out with Amanda and the hubby on Friday. We went to see a comedic hypnotist. I wasn't sure if I believed in that stuff or not. The guy called for volunteers to come up and be hypnotized. Dan and I both went up. The hypnotist was super sexy and had a really deep entrancing voice. So I hung on to every word he said, really trying to go under. Well, it didn't work for me. I felt myself getting really relaxed and tired when he was talking but I didn't go completely under. It did however work wonderfully well for my hubby. The hypnotist ended up kicking several people off stage because it didn't work for them. But there was like 6 people, including my hubby, who were completely gone. This guy had them humping chairs and pretending they were kittens and goats. It was so funny. And we got it all on video.

I am truly a believer in hypnosis now. Mainly because there is no way in hell Dan would have done any of that shit if he wasn't. Also because the whole show nobody on stage so much as cracked a smile. Even I couldn't pull that one off. If I was humping chairs in front of a group of laughing people there would be no way I'd keep a straight face. It was truly remarkable and hilarious at the same time.

We finished off the night with Heather and DJ. And by finished off the night, I mean finished off the liquor and any sense of composure I had left in me. It was fun. I like hanging out with them. Even if DJ thinks I'm a raging butch dyke who's trying to make love to his wife. Could it be my fondness of breasts? or the fact that I talk about lesbian porn each and every time I get wasted?? I guess there are worse things people could think about you. But still, I love the penis. I really do. I'm just overtly sexual. Especially when I've had a little too much to drink. Or well...alotta too much to drink. It just so happens that women are so much prettier than men. What can I say? But that's still not stopping me from serving myself up a hot tube steak smothered in underwear on the daily. LMFAO!!!(*Did you vomit in your mouth a little?)

Anyways, I'm kind of sort of on time but here's the secret of the week from Postsecret.

This surely isn't the most exciting one I've ever picked. It's hard trying to be so perfect in school. I've had arguments with a lot of my fellow students about how important it really is to do well in school. I think you should try to absorb all the knowledge you can. I would rather absorb 90% or higher in my classes. Rather than the 70% you could get by with. But really and truly who gives a fuck.

This is a crazy random blog. It's filled with profanity and ridiculousness. You better go take a shower.

I don't to be your good time! I don't want to be your ballbat crutch anymore.

Today was like any other.

I got a job at Macy's. Nothing special. Just a part time sales position. Something to help us rake in a little extra cash for a while. They told me I was "grossly overqualified" for the position. I told them that was fine. I'm a full time student and a mother of a 13 month old child. I'm not ready for a 9-5 management position. I'm really not.

I took one of my finals today. I take two more tomorrow. I will be so glad when this semester is finally over. I don't start Spring classes until January 18th. So I have some time. I'm not looking forward to driving to Kent next semester. I better start saving up gas money now so that I don't go broke. LOL!!

So I decided to enter the amateur stand up comedy contest. I have to do it. Just to see if I have what it takes. If I don't, at least I'll know I tried my best and that it wasn't for me. If I'm good....well, I didn't get that far yet. But who knows, maybe one day I'll have my own sitcom "Everybody Loves Aleta". LOL!!!

I was a little disappointed at my friends who didn't reply to my last blog. I was really looking for some good sketch ideas. That and a little encouragement. I did talk to some of you in person though. And of course Erin's computer wasn't letting her leave comments to my blog. But still guys....if you have any ideas let me know. I'm not sure how long my act needs to be. That and if I make it to the next round, I'll need a whole new act.

And now...it's really really late but, here's the secret of the week from Postsecret.

I chose this one because it was really sad. When I was younger I used to be scared that because my mother abused me as a child, that I might grow up to one day abuse my own children. Well, so far so good. I would never inflict pain upon my child. I love him so much. That's not to say I won't want to bitch slap him one day for talking back to me when he's a teenager. Even then, I really can't see myself putting my hands on my child.
You know, I always though that when I had a child of my own, I would understand what it was like for my mother. That I might be able to see why she abused us, let her boyfriends do all those bad things to us, and then gave us up and didn't even want visits with us. But you know what.....I am more confused than ever. I love my child and I wouldn't give him up for the world. I'm sure a lot of it had to do with her being mentally ill. Even still, I have no understanding for the things she put us through.

Okay...enough with the depressing shit.

I bedazzled my phone with Swarovski crystals. I did it to another phone I had back in the day and it turned out so well, I figured I'd do it again for this one. I only did the face plate that's on the front of the phone. It turned out well and didn't take too much time or money. I like it. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It's super sparkly, but in the picture you can't tell.


I'm going to the comedy club again on Friday with my girls. I love that place. There's nothing better than drinking a few too many and laughing your ass off.

Nothing more to say, Bye you all!

WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU!!!

Today will end up being a tiresome day.

So last night I went out with my girls: Amanda P, Amanda D, Sarah, Erin. Also Amanda's husband went and this guy Josh who didn't really come with any of us. He just wanted a ride up there to see the show. I had a blast! I thought the comics did a really good job. Also I had my friends there to keep me entertained.

So guys, I've said this before to some of you and I want you're opinion on the matter. It's been a dream of mine to do stand up comedy. Whenever I go see comics perform, or watch them on TV, I'm always sitting there thinking to myself how fun it would be to do that. I sit there thinking of good material to use and crap like that. Then after shows I always end up having the same conversations with the comics like "How'd you get started?" and stuff.

Well, they have amateur night on Tuesdays at the Funny Stop and I'm so tempted to just effin do it. But maybe I'm the only one who thinks I'm funny. So here's my question to all of you....
1. Do you think I could do it?
2. If yes, then can you think of any conversations or moments we've shared where I was really funny so I can try to write material from that.

Now be honest people. If you really feel that my brand of humor is something better left amongst my forgiving friends then tell me. I'd rather not make an ass of myself. Although really, it's just amateur night. What's the worst that could happen? People don't laugh? Well, I'm sure I could deal with that. And yeah, I could use material so give me some ideas people.

I am so gay!!!

She moves her body like a psycho!!!!

Today was a weary day.

That's because I didn't sleep well. I had a big dramatic night, watching a grown man attack another man like he was some kind of a mental patient. Since its somebody else's business, I won't mention names. All I know is.....I really hope that one of the people involved, the one I care about will see through this guy's bullshit and kick him to the curb. He's immature, unstable, dishonest, spiteful and angry.

I got my Marketing project back. You know, the one on Bayer Aspirin. I got an A. I was so excited. The few people who told me their grades all got B's and C's. So I feel like I pulled it off well. I'm glad my ridiculous procrastination didn't hurt me.

I've been getting back into doing my crafts again. I made some onesies for my friend Misty's new baby and I made Leonardo a new shirt. I forgot to take pics of the ones I made for Misty but I though they turned out well. Here's the one I made for Leonardo.


I'm going to the comedy club on Friday with some friends. I really like it there. I always get a few good laughs in. You know, I often dream of becoming a stand up comedian. I think it would be a really fun job. I'm sure it doesn't pay well. I think of how I can really get my friends going sometimes and how much I like that. I think I might be good at stand up. Maybe not though. LOL!!!

Well, I guess that's all I have for today.

If you type it, they will come.

Today was a very very good day!

I am not depressed. Not even a little. I'm feeling quite positive and productive. I'm getting my house back to normal. I've got big Christmas plans and ideas. I just feel good.

This is a little late but here's the secret of the week from Postsecret. I picked this one because I would be the type of person to think something like this. I caught myself yesterday trying to reason with myself that I should be thankful for the way I look because at least I'm not horribly disfigured or something.


I got my new purse from Nikki. It's so cute. She did a really good job. I love the color and the lining on the inside is magnificent. I just love it. Here's a few pics.



This is my last week of classes. I have two final exams next week and then I'm officially done(*me breathing a sigh of relief!).

I didn't weigh in for WW last week because I had to give a presentation the day of my weigh in and I didn't have time to be changing my clothes and all that jazz. So I went in and dropped off my "No Weigh In Pass". I know I gained though. So hopefully I lost this week. It's not looking like it. I want to start doing good. I'm relieved that I'm keeping the weight off but I want that dedication back that I had in the beginning. It's been so hard though, with all the stress of school and the holidays, to even want to try. I know myself though, and I'll never give up. One of the cards on my inspiration board says "As Long As It Takes" and that's exactly how long I'll do this. Hopefully it won't take 5 years though. LOL!!!

Well, I guess that's all I have for today.
