  • Bow to the power of the great Refrigerator Goddess
    That's me, by the way.


    It's here, it's beautiful and we all stood around and marveled at the greatness that is Maytag...and stainless steel.  OOOOOOO AHHHHH ooohhh and a lot of "Don't wipe your slobber on it!"  Then a lot of cleaning said slobbery prints off the front of it and now...yes NOW I have a pretty, clean, almost cold refrigerator.  The delivery guys were the most considerate guys that I've dealt with in a long time.  VERY friendly and dillegent about making sure they picked up their trash and that the fridge was nice and pretty inside too   I'm tres impressed I must say.


    So Bow, Bow humble servants and beg me to invite you over for Margaritas and Pizza, all from my new pretty fridge......

  • What Is Your True Aura Colour?
    brought to you by Quizilla


    Interesting because I don't really care for green but I had a HUGE green phase a few years ago.  I am drawn to green still and I feel like I'm fighting it, but this does describe me lol....hmmmmm   


    Well my fridge will be here tomorrow and my stove on Thursday...whoooohooooo!   I'm soo excited..bum bum bum and I just can't hide it da da da I know, I know, I know, I want them, I want them....yeah it leaves a little to be desired, so what.

    Well my English paper is the first to be critiqued in my class.  I'm not really all that nervous because there are only maybe 2 people who have an opinion that I would actually care about.  The other people, well they aren't that bright to begin with so.....Besides, hopefully I've shown my vast knowledge of the English language and they fear me and my grammar wrath.  That would be cool.  I doubt it would happen but it would be cool none the less.....I will, probably, have to correct the grammar and spelling of their critiques, only because I'm a huge raving bitch and if you don't know what you're talking about, don't act like you do.

    Well now that you've seen that I'm an intelligence snob I will leave you all with this thought....
    "I may not be able to be the prettiest, or the thinnest, but I can be the smartest."

    CHANGES, PEOPLE, I NEED CHANGES....HELLLLFUCKINGOOOO?!?!?!?!?!
    You know who you are..

  • THEY'RE MINE ALL MINE!!!!!!!



    YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  DH went and paid for them and we will get them either tomorrow or Weds.  Probably tomorrow though. HOOTIEFUCKINGHOO!!!!  Ok, now I'll stop talking about my appliances because y'all don't care.  It's sort of like Hussy and her Boy, only it's me and my appliances



    On another note, while at Hussy's place last night I found some pics of BT when he was LT's age.  Sort of cool.  And a picture of me with a rather LARGE striped bass that I had caught.  Ahhhh campin' and fishin' in Alabama, yeah, that's why you'll NEVER see those pics

    DH has all week off and we're debating starting on the deck ourselves.  It's such a large project that it's a little overwhelming at first but I'm sure if we just dive in we'll get finished somehow....we watch a LOT of DIY on TV.  The cool thing about DIY is that they show Do-It-Yourself-ers screwing shit up, so then you don't feel as bad. 

    And just some pretty serenity for you, this was taken by Hussy herself. I'm so proud that she has photography skills, I was getting worried.

  • OH MY GAWD OH MY GAWD OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!
    Guess what you're wonderful cool-ass-kickin' turtlemama is gettin'? I'm getting my DREAM appliances and kitchen.  Don't ask me how in the heck this happened but it just seems that everything is falling into place.  If you look below you'll see that I was doubtful that I'd get my 'dream' refrigerator and/or range well......We went to the Maytag store right here in town and VIOLA! The guy that owns it gave me a SWEET deal and I'll go pay him next week and he'll deliver it next day!!!! AND AND AND AND He's giving me FREE delivery and set up!!!! Lowe's would charge me $65 for the delivery and $25 for Gas range hook-up! So not only did I save over $300 off of retail (for BRAND SPANKIN' NEW appliances) but I'm saving the delivery and installation fee too!!! HOOOOOOTTTTTTEEEEEEEHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  And I found the countertops and they are NOT that expensive and the flooring will be hardwood (that tile that I put up below looks TERRIBLE in real life).  We STILL can't find the cabinets though but we're lookin' and we have some leads, we'll look again tomorrow.  AND to top off our already GREAT day (my mom had the kids so DH and I could go browse) DH found a place to get tools for next to NUTHIN!!!  I'm so happy.  Life is GREAT!!!!!! All because I got a deal on a stove and fridge! ROFL  it's the simple things in life!

  • Well I took pictures of my kitchen for the 'BEFORE' pics.  I'm going to Lowe's today and look around, gather ideas, and price some things, I might even pick up a ceiling fan or two (I love ceiling fans).  When the weather gets a little better I'll be taking 'BEFORE' shots of the backyard.  I REALLY want the pics of the yard because right now it's just grass and boring....can't WAIT!




    Ok everyone else was doing it so I did too...gawd y'all are a bad influence or something

  • Ok, if someone doesn't vote that Rob IDIOT off of Survivor I might just have to stop watching.  That MORON is so fucking STUPID it seriously makes me want to loose my dinner.  And Survivor is a big deal around here, we do take-out and even the kids watch it.  Yes, my 4yr old is excited when we tell him Survivor is on.  Am I the only one who thinks that he's a stupid piece of shit from a dead rotting rat?  I do.


    We (my DH and myself) are about to take on a few home improvement projects, you can also call them 'Contractor's Dream' because when we fuck it up we'll have to hire someone to come in and charge us a bagoogle of money to fix it.  But we're still going to try it.  So what exactly are we going to do? WELL....we're putting in a privacy fence, tearing down the old deck and putting up a new one that is 2.5 ft wider and 12 ft longer, yeah I know this is BIG.  We'll be replacing our cabinets, countertops and flooring in the kitchen not to mention all the other small things like new lighting and ceiling fans.  I LOVE doing this shit but we've never actually bought lumber and stuff, so that will be an experience.


    See, we watch this show called Weekend Warriors and it's all about do-it-yourself-ers and the project they are tackling.  I've seen people do everything from put down a brick patio to knocking out walls and remodeling their entire kitchen.  So I figured if these people can do it why can't I? I mean hell they have a book somewhere! Not to mention DIYNet.com gawd, I LOVE that site. So that's what we're going to do. 

  • SURVIVOR is on tonight.  I missed last week's episode, I think I did anyway.....lemme think..........hmmm dunno I'd have to go check. ANYWAY, I saw the Amazing Race last night OMG those soccer moms were so pathetic coming in last! LOL  I actually felt sorry for them and I rarely feel sorry for ANYONE!  I love reality TV. Hell I just love T.V.


    I actually went to my dad's and DIDN'T come back with a critter, aren't you all proud?  His pond was up about a foot so I COULD have brought some more tadpoles but I didn't.  YAY me and my self-control! hoohoo!

    My changes are being held up in customs, well sort of a customs type thing, or something.  I dunno but someone better get their ass in gear or I'll be one pissed puppy.

    My classes are going rather well, I'm basically done with my work for the week.  So I'm just checking in and reading other people's so that I can critque it and earn more enemies, I LUUVVV enemies, it gives me someone to make fun of.

    I need turtle things, all sorts of turtle things, like turtle-y things that even *I* wouldn't have thought of.  That's what I need...yup yup.  I want to surround myself with turtles, gawd I love those slimey little bastards.

    My sis and I have cool things coming in the mail....can't wait.  I'll have to scan them, will be tres cool.

    I have abso-fucking-lutely NOTHING to say...............I need to take notes of my life, I keep forgetting it.


  • Well my changes are taking a bit longer than originally hoped.  But that's ok   They are still changin'..............


    We closed on the house yesterday.  We got back less than we wanted but more than we thought.  Does that make sense? Well too bad, it should.

    We called and ordered every god-forsaken channel that our satellite company offers.  Let me just say that it's overwhelming to have that many choices.  I am a TV freak, I mean I LOVE TV it's fast entertainment and when I'm in the mood for slower entertainment, we have every movie channel known to man.  It's great and it's relatively inexpensive.  The problem is choosing what to watch.  Oh well I could have bigger problems (and do! lol).



    My writing, oh my writing, it still sucks. I have to write 3 things that have happened to me, one must be truthful, the other two, lies.  So anyone want to give me a paragraph of something that happened to YOU and I'll say it happened to me LOL I'm really at a loss.  Thank goodness all of my interior insights work is done for the week.  Now I can focus on all this other crap.

    Well we skipped my dad's house this past week, that's why I have no new update on new critters.  The caterpillar has made a cocoon.  One of the tadpoles is about to sprout legs.  ANOTHER guppy gave birth and now I have over 100 little fish in a 5.5gal aquarium.  I'm going this weekend to get another aquarium or 5.

    We are going to re-do the kitchen.  I don't want to say remodel because it will still look the same, sort of, it will just have new everything and the cabinets will be 6-8 inches higher (yeah, don't ask, some sort of fucked up midget on speed designed this house).  So this is what I'd LIKE to get, that is if the scratch and dent store have them without some huge scratch or dent on them..yeah RIGHT.  I'll keep dreamin' don't worry....

     
    I also want a dishwasher

    and new flooring

    Then of course there are the cabinets...but I don't know what they will look like...brown or some sort thereof.



    My Interior Insights class kicks some MAJOR ass.  I have learned all SORTS of cool things that I never even thought could pertain to design.  But it makes a TON of sense.  I'm so stinkin' excited that I might actually know something that other people don't wahooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO!  I'm going over to a friend's house later on this month and she wants me to give her some advice TOO FUCKING COOL!!!   I'm a fucking Interior Designer BABY! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo! (Ok, I don't have my degree yet, but we CAN call ourselves designers......)

    And just my bitchy rant for the day.......
    In the state of Georgia when you give birth the hospital sends you home with a CD of classical music.  When it was said that listening to classical music could build a baby's brain our then governor passed a law stating that every new mother would get a CD of classical music when she left the hospital with her baby.  I thought it was pretty cool, not only do you get a baby but you get TUNES too!! HOOHOOO!  Well after that was passed I was reading Child magazine and noticed an article about governments going too far with parenting.  Guess who they mentioned...yup, good ol' Georgia and our controlling classical Mozart and Bach, we were next to the states who throw parents in jail for not medicating their "ADHD" children.  DAMN US for being so fucking controlling with babies' ears and giving away CDs. So then that got me to thinking.  Child magazine is VERY VERY VERY VERY mainstream.  They advertise formula companies and Ralph Lauren baby, and other stupid fuckers who make baby clothes that will be worn for 3 months MAYBE and charge more than I've ever paid for any of my clothing.  ANYWAY, so Child has NO PROBLEM letting big business dictate how we should parent but when the state of GA gives mothers CDs (or tapes, you can choose) of classical music, they've gone too far?? HOW IN THE FUCK IS THAT GOING TOO FAR???????? Lets not forget that when you have a baby and you're getting ready to go home what does the nurse bring you?  FORMULA, whether you're nursing or bottle feeding, you get it, I tried to refuse it and she said, "Oh no honey, you MIGHT need it."  Oh those pharmaceutical companies MAKE SURE that moms are sent home with a nice little supply of formula, for when nursing doesn't work.  How fucking convenient... But that's ok to the editors of child, new moms can be given formula, but GAWD DAMNIT HOLD BACK THOSE CDs....Beethoven could RUIN a child damnit!  Stupid fucking morons, strike again...........WTF-EVER!

    BTW, I'm listening to the CD now, and I must say its REALLY GOOD!!!!!!  Building mama's brain if nothing else, maybe I'll make the kids sit in here for a little while, get 'em some smarts.... 

  • Riddle of the day
    Things are happening, changes are being made.....it will all be ok in the end..i hope.
