I need more time!!

There's just not enough and lately my weekends have gone to shit running back and forth, taking kids to and from soccer, working overtime, trying to get some semblance of housework done....

I'm just dog tired now-a-days.

We went out last night! Crystal watched the boys! They had a blast of course cause they think she's the shit (which she is). They were disappointed that I came to get them, and said "AWWW" (in a dissapointed way) when I showed up. She bribed them with Sonic! What can I say!?

It was hilarious the other day I was trying to talk to my son about a halloween costume. He said he wanted to be a pirate, so I was trying to think of things we could do and one of my suggestions was to use my make-up to give him facial hair. He told me very matter-of-factly that he already has facial hair (he's 8). I told him no, there's no way and even if it's there you can't see it. LOL!

OH a few weeks ago I went to this fabric store that had fabric on sale for 6.99 a yard, I found this fabulous fabric that I want to make drapery panels from. They didn't have as much as I needed but I ordered some and just picked it up yesterday! It's great!! I can't wait to make drapes from it if I can find the time!!!

Halloweenie

I love Halloween. I don't just Love Halloween, I LOVE Haloween. Getting to see what everyone has decided to be that year, it's like a peek into their subconscious.

Here is a link to the Art Bar Haloween gallery. Every year the Art Bar holds the bash to be at, as you can see from the photos.

It's amazing how I always think of the best costumes for everyone that is not me.

My costumes-for-friends so far are Fortune Teller, (so easy with the whole Gypsy look being popular this year)Cigarette Girl, Lorne from Angel, and the Good Lord himself, Jesus. Hope I don't wind up somewhere Hot for that one.

I was thinking

Cause I do that sometimes... sometimes being the key word.....

I wonder if when employers are accounting for paying their employees, they consider time employees use for "makin business" if you know what I mean, ya know, droppin the kids off at the pool? Yea. I mean every time I go to the bathroom at work, I think, "wow, I being paid while I go!" That's awesome! If I could just get some more of that type of paid time in, man that'd be great!

anyhoo...

Yesterday I took a small amount, about 20 things i dunno, but not that much in my opinion, to Crystal's garage sale. She did a spectacular job advertising and she lives near a very busy area and OH MY GOSH! The turnout was GREAT!! There was a point when I was at the end of her driveway and she was at the top of the driveway, and we couldn't see each other!! When we first opened it up at 7:30 am and there was actually a man who RAN up to the driveway! Can you believe that ish!? Anyways (piggy's fav word) I made about $100 !! WOO! Like I said I didn't really have that much stuff!

I've got about a gazillion things I want to spend it on, I'm having a hard time prioritizing. Here's the selfish version of list:
  • shoes & boots
  • winter clothes
  • handbags
  • 300 thread count sheets for my bed
  • duvet set for my bed
  • new workout clothes so I don't look like such a bum there (including shoes)
The non-selfish version:
  • stain & sealant for the back deck
  • have chimney cleaned
  • small amount of wood pieces to repair front porch railings and white paint to repaint whole porch.
  • paint for eaves and trim of outside of house
  • pay to have someone come grind stumps in the back yard
Yea so the lists are drastically different, I know. Besides all I could do buy one thing off of either list! So you see my issue? I'll figure it out. :shrug:

Yeah, What she said!

I'm going to go all Dorothy here and say I HATE SUV's!!!! Not sure if that is something Dorothy would actually say but I had to plug her somehow.

But me? Yeah, I hate those fuckers.

Is it okay for a future golden girl to say 'fucker?' Hope so.

I was at a drive thru eeeeeaaarrrrlly this morning, because MY dumass decided I just HAD to have breakfast. Stupid. I get wedged in between a Chevy Suburban and a Ford Expedition. The ford is behind me, and it's freaking headlights are pouring in through my back window, blinding me no matter which way I turn the mirror.

The suburban driver almost got her ASS KICKED by yours truly this morning. First of all she tries to back over me, and could have done so, a`la monster trucks had I not laid on the horn. The driver (of COURSE it was a teeny little woman, WHY do they feel so empowered by driving freaking tanks?) peeks her head out of her window and shouts "Sorry! didn't see you!"

Could that be because your TIRES come up to the ROOF OF MY CAR????

Then, while behind her in the drive-thru, she won't get close enough to the "Place Order Here" box for the headsets fast food people wear to start beeping and let them know someone was waiting. TWENTY MINUITES I sat there, fuming. And of course the bitch (let's face it, it was probably a woman) in the Expedition behind me had left me NO room to get out.

Just so you know, I have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM with the more compact SUV's. The Nissan Pathfinder, Kia Sportage, Ford Escape, etc. Because they are Functional and economical at the same time. Because that should be the only reason you drive something that big, right? Because it's FUNCTIONAL, not because it's TRENDY. If you are a person who does not haul people/dogs/furniture etc. for a living or at least on a regular basis you don't NEED an SUV. Unless you bought out Publix (and let's face it! If you bought a monster SUV you Probably shop at Publix or somewhere else that's unnecessarily expensive!) then your groceries will probably fit into the Trunk of a CAR.

Your big stupid monster vehicles are dangerous, not to mention environmentally unfriendly and are only helping to escalate our little energy crisis!

Get a CAR, Asshole!!!!
