New and Improved, EXCITING Website! This is the BEST and MOST interesting page EVER!
My sister doesn’t think my web-blog is interesting. She wants to know just what is so “great” about…this…”Just you writing down all the boring dumb things you do everyday? Who F****** cares?”
Well.
Even after all my shout-outs to her and her favorite sports baseball team, her mad hair cutting skills, her awesome kids and hubby, her parties that are only slightly lame but with fabulous food, AND on the day she comes to pick up HER dog that I have been watching for ONE WEEK so she could go to the Dells for the “weekend”, and she tells me I basically suck. Nice mouth.
(A picture of her dog is below. Named, Juneau. At least he’s cool.)
So in honor of her and spicing up this post, I am going to relate the story of how I almost lost a limb yesterday dangerously cutting logs with an old rusty circular saw, no safety goggles and inadequate insurance coverage!
My boyfriend thinks its pretty gruesome too. It’s so terrible that I don’t think any small children should even be NEAR the computer while you are reading this, they’ll sense the horrific nature of the text wafting off of you and have nightmares for weeks…my children were right next to me at the time of the “incident” and I cannot be responsible for any more children suffering the same type of trauma mine experienced. I won’t be a part of it. I WON’T!
No, no, no…I can’t post it. I just can’t!
This is the stuff of late night tv movies after too many drinks, when you’re all alone in your house, towards the end of a long, hot, summer; uncomfortable in the sticky heat, with the windows open and no wind; darkness so thick it feels heavy and wet; involving vampires, werewolves and creatures from the Black Lagoon. Full moons and blood everywhere; pasty men and pastier women: all bad lighting, scratchy film and shaky sound. It’s TOO unbelievable.
Instead, I am going to type out my to-do list for today.
Trust me, it’s equally frightening and double exciting. Ready?
1. Walk kids to school
2. Do laundry
3. Clean bathroom
4. Dust
5. Vacuum house
6. Clean kitchen/utility floor
7. Paint trim
8. Call school about appt.
9. Call Mom
10. Get snacks for Stevie’s Movie Night at school
11. Input CD’s
12. Run trail
13. Take kids to Cheerleader’s Competition for support, as part of Basketball Team
14. Answer call from sister, telling me what an A**hole I am. (That’s the frightening part!)
Thanks Amanda for all your support! You can’t see it, but I’m flipping you the BIRD! (Exciting too, huh?) As promised.
I Love You!
Be sure and visit this site tomorrow where I’ll be posting my GROCERY list! You DON’T want to miss it!

Dodge Challenger 4
Found this little gem in Car and Driver magazine, leafing through the March 2009 issue while waiting for my mom at the doctor’s. It’s not a mag I generally buy even though I know I could probably find lots of Challengers there.
This car is on a whole other level and it costs more than my house. Seriously. Probably won’t be seeing this driving around town, posing for my picture collection, but here it is offering you this warning:
If you see me at a light, don’t even waste your time trying to race me. I’m faster than you just sitting still.
Find the NY Coffee Cup, First Magazine Post, Finally
I have a feeling this “scanning” thing is going to be my new favorite time waster, among a bunch of other things, as showcased throughout this entire web-blog-thing.
So I actually found this in Glamour Magazine. Full credit to them. I believe it was the January issue, 2009, but I can’t be sure because I ripped it out and it doesn’t say on the page. Context is, “What one small life change are you making in 2009?” So it’s a new year thing. I scanned it in and highlighted the cup part. Let the scavenging begin!
Street Money Update!
I found a quarter! I found a quarter!
Let’s go with:
On the ground in the library parking lot while I was returning a book this morning and NOT at the McDonald’s drive-thru.
Shame shame shame….I know. I feel terrible.
I should have waited for the library to open and returned the book to the desk because I owe late fines. Bad Girl!
Click $$$$$$ for the year total so far.
