What the Heck????

Some ding dong is posting comments on my blog listing several websites that appear to be in Russian. So, I am moderating comments for awhile.

What is with people????

I'm supposed to be camping right now. I'm supposed to be setting up my tent and finding the stuff we left in it from the previous camping season. I'm supposed to be listening to my kids gathering kindling to start a fire. I am supposed to be grumping about the campers at the next site who aren't watching their kids and who have their music too loud. I'm supposed to be looking forward to pudgie pies and monkey bread that only Mindy can make.

Where am I?
Home.

Why?
Grant's injured ankle and the process of events that followed his diagnosis.

How does that make me feel?
Sucky!

Where are my camping buddies?
On their way to camp anyway.

How does that make me feel?
jealous

It sucked me in!!!

Laugh if you want but I am a Dancing with the Stars fan. Go Joey!! Go Apollo!! But at the conclusion of tonight's episode after the kids were all tucked in bed and Kurtis was snuggled up with his XBOX I came back into the living room where the TV was still on.

It was The Bachelor.

What a stupid excuse for a show!!! Here is this guy who they call a "gentleman" through this whole show who is choosing between these two half-brained-low-self-esteemed gals who proceed to each make out with him and meet his parents to which he admits "he just can't choose between them". OMG!!!! To quote my IMing adolescent. WTH!

Giggle here!!! Giggle there!!! Everywhere a giggle-giggle!!

Both girls giggle their way into his heart. This is so ridiculous.

Yet, I watch. Still. I have to know who he chooses after all.

Now, here's the thing. Each girl knows there is another girl. So they make their last attempt for his heart. This is so dumb. Still watching though. Yet neither is confident enough to pledge their undying love to him. Oh but wait....a gift from one of them and she does pledge her love. How beautiful!!! She loves him!! and HE LOVES HER!!! Even though he is going to make out with the other girl after the commercial break. He is, after all, a gentleman!!! He can't leave the other girl out. It might hurt her feelings. Oh yeah...still watching.

Commercial break........yip, made out with the other one........ in the ocean......in Hawaii.

Can you imagine? I mean really? I just don't get it!! Seriously!!!

Hey Dad, how'd you meet mom?
Well you see son...we met on a reality TV show. Wanna see a clip? This is the girl that I made out with before I asked your mom to marry me. And, yes...I told her I loved her but really it was just for TV ratings. I really never loved her...I just kissed her (and whatever else!) alot. But, you know...I REALLY loved your mom when I told her I loved her...I meant that.

I swear I'm going to turn this show off!!

As soon as I know who he picked.

The finished product


UMMMMM was it good!!!!

Don't hate me because I'm talented

I got Dance Dance Revolution for Mother's Day. I just got it yesterday but I think I'm getting pretty good.

Anyway, this is me playing DDR but I didn't want to show my face just in case someone saw it and recognized me and wanted me to do a guest spot on Letterman or something.

That would have been very embarrassing.

Handbag (handbag?) Tag

Only for my dear friend Mindy who tagged me would I actually do this. Now, I tag Libby! Go ahead show us your Prada!

I'm a purse nut. I love them!!! I love BIG ONES!! I love leather ones. I love fun ones. But right now my budget allows them to come from Target. Which is where I picked up this little number.
Oh yeah, it's big. Huge really. I can shove anything in this thing. This was a slow day so I didn't have near as much in it. I wonder why my arthritis flares up after a long day carrying this thing.

This is the inside:

The contents:

• many misc receipts
• change that Mindy gave me for the kids to take to the penny drive because Evy didn't want them and I forgot to give them.
• my pink wallet (so not me but it was free)
• Costco card-don't leave home without it
• emergency sewing kit
• my new favorite thing-York mints
• two checkbooks for two different bank accounts
• a notepad
• a Los Tres Amigos kid menu that I wrote my grocery list on while eating lunch at Los Tres.
• cell phone
• 4 Weetopia volunteer tags that I forget to leave on the teacher table at church
• 4 pens
• Chronicles of Narnia chapstick
• tweezers
• an envelope of wax for my kids braces
• empty eyeglasses case (why?-don't know!)
• 4 different prescription meds (for what?-not tellin!)
• 2 OTC meds for motion sickness (left over from
• Christmas travel) and ibuprofen
• And here it is empty.

I have now completed my Handbag (handbag?) Tag.

You're it Lib!
