Draperies, Curtains?
Sofa, Couch?
Fabric, Material?

These are the hard pressing questions in my Interior Insights class.  I know, world peace and domination depends on these answers so stay tuned!

We (Sunshine and myself) went to Petsmart today, Sunshine puked in my van (right on my cell phone charger, gawdamnit!) on the way there.  The way back was ok though, THANKFULLY!!!  We got her a sweater, it’s really cute and pretentious and I’m a horrible puppy-mama for putting my dog in a sweater, but dagnabit, she gets cold, she doesn’t have much of a coat.  She got chew treats as well.  Sammie got stuff too, just so no one cries out, “UNFAIR! FAVORITISM!” 

Well, I need to go write a paragraph on tourists, I’m suppose to observe some tourists, but ummm here in Civil War country we only get tourists in the summer so we’re pretty dead, guess I’ll just make something up, sort of….gawd, I feel like a writing whore.
“Go write about…THIS…do it NOW!”

AARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! ok I’m done bitching and moaning, any other care to bitch and moan?? Bitch away I want to read it ALL!

Sammie is trying to bury her bone in a scrap of fabric lying on the floor, stupid mutt….

Well, baby is doing MUCH better and will be going home soon.  She just has to show steady weight gain.  So that’s good!  I truly believe that the mama is in some sort of denial/shock mentality.  I’m sure that I probably would be similar if it were happening to me.  She isn’t talking to anyone about ‘the problems’ with the baby, just the good stuff.  But at least she’s talking!   THANK YOU so much for the thoughts/prayers!!

In other news…….I just ordered a TON of stuff from FLAXArt.com and let me say, the shipping took FOREVER and a day but it was well worth it!  I knocked a few names off my christmas list and got a SWEET Van Gogh cutting board!   You should go and look if nothing else, they have TONS of great unique gift ideas!  Oh and I got this too…..

IT IS A MOUSE RUG!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
  It’s a mousepad that has fringe and everything! It’s the design that Freud had in his office, cool huh?

I NEED VIDEO GAMES!!! HELLLPPPP MEEEEEE FIND VIDEO GAMES!! Ok, really I just want new games to play.  I’m going to buy Mario Party 4 and I’ll have to look around for others but I need at least 2 more games.  I’m pretty sure that for Xmas BT is getting nothing but 2-3 games and a stocking.  Heck, that’s all he needs and it’s less for me to pick up, RIGHT?!!  LT will get cool preschool toys that he’ll be bored with after 10 mins.  ACTUALLY he won’t…He’s getting things from Constructive Play Things OMG this place has the BEST wooden block sets, and my kids are getting one!  Plus some other groovy things that will make them use their minds, for once…

GAWD it’s a boring day.  I need to go read textbooks, uuggghhhh why can’t they throw curse words or something into those things to liven them up? Ya know like, “The fucking chair should never be placed facing directly into a window, you stupid ass fool!” THAT would make me want to read it!!!

Ugh, I’m off!

Remember a few blogs back how I was all ticked off because of a baby shower?  Well, the baby was born.  Early.  And not very healthy.  It seems as if her mama had kept the information all to herself for months.  The mama knew that something was wrong but didn’t let anyone know.  So then the baby was born by emergency C-sect. and is in NICU and now she has to tell everyone what’s going on.  Not to mention she told everyone NOT to call, or visit her or the baby.  I feel so terribly bad for this mama.  I cannot even begin to imagine that pain.  I know how it is to carry a child for nine months and the entire time you spend it worrying.  You feel a trickle between your legs you’re in the bathroom wiping yourself raw looking for ANY tinge of blood.  It is a scary stressful time that usually ends up so beautiful.  This mama is going through hell.  And she’s doing it alone.  She has her husband but really, men aren’t that helpful in situations like these.  This is her first child so the pain is doubly worse.  They have tested for Down’s and that was negative.  The docs say that it is probably a genetic disorder of some sort, they just don’t know which sort.  From what I’ve been told (which isn’t a whole lot), the baby is OK generally speaking, just having a hard time as a preemie.  Her mama said that she’s the prettiest sweetest baby she’s ever seen (she used to say that of my kids…) I’m sure she is the prettiest sweetest baby ever.  If you can, keep this mama & baby in your thoughts.  They really need it.

HALLOWEEN PICS!!!!!

Here they are in all their glory…ENJOY!

The front of the house. Notice the black and red porch lights!

‘The Bad Pumpkin Carving Incident’

Better Pumpkin Carving!

LT (giraffe) and BT (Superman) Almost ready to go!
BT was whining that he wanted to stay home and play Monkey Ball!

BOO!

Well, wanna talk about INTER-FUCKING-RESTING evenings?  I sure as hell do!  Here’s the deal in all it’s bloody detail, yeah, I know I don’t delve this far usually but just deal…..

Sittin’ over at sis’ talkin’ to Bob and listening to Tori, all is well.  Then my phone rings.  I answer it and it is, of course, my DH and he’s huffing and puffing and sounds generally scared out of his ever-lovin’ mind.  He quickly rasps out “Honey, where’s the phonebooks?”  Well I tell him I threw them away but don’t hear anything in reply to my question of , “Why?!”

“HELLO?!” Damn sis’ apt. for having shitty cell phone reception, damnit ALL!

“HONEY?!” Walk into the sunroom and finally he can hear me (yeah it’s like one big ‘Can you hear me now?’ ‘good.’ commerical) so I continue,

“WHAT?!”

“Where’s the phonebooks from the closet?”
“Threw them out, WHY?!”
“The dogs chased some guy out of the backyard and he’s just hanging around the front of the house, I need the city police’s number.”
“Umm have you tried 911?!”
“But that’s for emergencies, I mean-”
“Ok, umm a person hanging around your backyard then just loitering out in front of your house is just sort a maybe a 911 type call, but just maybe.”
“Oh, ok, so just call 911?”
“Umm, yeah, hang up with me and call 911, then call me back.”

So basically what had happened was that DH went out to let the dogs out and while he was standing down there Sammie took off after someone/thing and Sunshine followed suit (super fast according to DH) they chased this freak over to the front of the house barking the whole way (I have the absolute BEST fucking dogs in the world, let me just tell you about it…well, later….)  So this person hangs around for a little while and DH just sort of lingers around the house and watches them.  Well the cops show up and he tells them what happened and the cop says,
“Are you sure it wasn’t a woman?”
“Well it could have been, I did see long blonde hair.”

Next thing I know DH is calling me back and telling me that the cops left (2 cars, 2 cops in each car) and they took the crazy chick with them.  She had just hung out front of our house then walked a few houses down but still hanging around our house, well then she got arrested so that was cool!

So, my puppies have earned their keep for the next month or so.  DH ws freaked all to hell and back, he thought that it was a REALLY tall man, and DH isn’t the tallest guy in the boat so..   He did haul around an old softball bat of mine, silly man.  I would have probably just told Sammie “get’em!” cause you know it would have been sort of cool to see her rip someone’s throat out that was hanging around my house, then of course just the sheer stupidity of the whole ‘still lingering around that house’ thing.  Stupid whore.

Oh, the cops also stopped a car that came flying into the subdivision hehehehe, the cops were mighty impressed with themselves for being there are the right time.  I’m just happy that they caught someone, the people over here drive like cracked out freaks with aliens shooting outta their asses or something. 

Anyway that was my night, how was yours?

Well, we’re getting our $200 out of the GameCube.  I went out yesterday for some last minute halloween things (black lightbulbs and film, will post pics soon!) and came home with;

AND….

BT said that he didn’t want Monkey Ball, “Oh, no I just play Mario, I don’t need Monkey Ball.”  Well he stayed up LATE last night, and didn’t even want to go trick-or-treating, just wanted to play MB!!   We all love it, it is SUPER FUN!  SIS, you HAVE GOT to come and play it, you’ll abso-fucking-lutely LOVE IT!!!!

We were at my moms last night and she asked BT if he liked Apple Pie, he replied “yeah, but I never had it before.” So mom asks, “You haven’t?” BT replies, “No, but I have Monkey Ball!”

Now my mom didn’t know that we had just purchased MB not 4 hours earlier so she was a little confused as to what in the hell my child was talking about. 

We haven’t tried Animal Crossing yet, that’s more for DH and myself, so we’ll have to wait until next week when BT goes back to his normal bedtime routine.  He’s been able to stay up late with us this first week of new Nintendo.

I also got;

And am in LOVE with it.  Haven’t watched the DVD yet but soon, VERY soon!
