sort of.
Sorry I’ve been gone so long, leaving the “crap” post up for over a month.
I’ve been going through some really shitty personal stuff that I’m not going to write about. It’s pretty much an “all consuming” kinda thing, so I really don’t have anything else to say.
I’m not really checking my email a lot, so I appologize to those of you who may have emailed me. I’m just not doing much computer-type stuff.
I’ll be back.
Eventually.
…if everything worked the way it should? No one would ever have to argue or fight. No one would ever have to go to court. But I guess those three things are one in the same. We learned that the hard way last year (and the first few months of this one). One of the worst things to have to go to court over has to be getting hurt and being unable to work, yet seemingly having no one on your side. Not to mention not being able to pay your bills! Especially now when everything from gas to the price of bread is skyrocketing.
Don’t resort to taking much less than you deserve just so you can pay your bills now. Consider LawMax. They specialize in litigation finance. They can help you avoid home foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy, and ruined credit. They have money available to help with the bills while also working to get you the settlement you deserve.
Best of all, if you lose, so do they. You owe nothing and their initial investment is yours. And even better, no credit checks, employment requirments, or monthly payments.
Until the world is a place where people do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, we’ll need people who are willing to fight for us.

I’ve got to clean my whole house in about 7 hours (still feel like crap, thankyouverymuchforasking) so I’m going to show you some more of my garden.
No veggies this time though.
This one is on a bush that I planted this year. And it’s blooming! Flowers don’t usually bloom for me the year I plant them. I’m sure it’s something that I’m doing, but I don’t have the patience to figure it out. When this one opens up all the way, it will be even prettier!
I had to blow this one up to “big” size instead of just using “medium” because I love it so much!!! This is the poor little rose bush that was nearly killed by roofers last year. They just threw shingles off the roof right onto all of my plants. I was very upset. But it’s blooming again! And it mostly grew back where it was broken. So yay! Way to go, rose bush!
My camera is officially shit. For some reason, it “auto-focused” on the lariopi (or however the hell you spell that) in the upper left-hand corner. WTF Camera?? I took 5 pictures of this flower and they all turned out like this. Believe it or not, this was the best one. Anyway, this rose bush blooms lovely deep red flowers. It’s called Veteran’s Honor and I planted it for my granddad. Like four years ago. I have no idea how I still remember the name. I’m not one to go to rose shows or anything.
(and don’t ask the names of the others ones…even the one I bought this year…)
Hope you enjoy your walk through my little garden! Have a great weekend! And wish Rat luck, he tests for his BLACK BELT TOMORROW!!! OMG!!!
OH! And also, my friends Super Model and Soon-To-Be-Mr Super Model are getting married tomorrow as well! (big day all around!) So I guess tomorrow is the day he gets his new “Mr Super Model” title! LOL So an early congratulations to them!! I love you guys!!
Today, I could tell y’all about a number of things.
I could tell you how I had to go to FOUR grocery stores to try and find something that apparently no longer exists, and finally had to settle for something not at ALL like what I wanted.
I could tell you how in order to get to the fourth and LAST grocery store, I had to leave the third one and PASS the two that I had ALREADY BEEN TO!!! Effectively wasting WAY too much gas. Y’all think you have it bad with the price of gas. Imagine having to pay the price of diesel. Yeah, it sucks way more.
I could tell you about how I feel like a big pile of hot ass. And how I feel like I’m about to barf up everything I’ve ever eaten. No, not for that reason. The other one. And how I keep seeing that commercial where they talk about “no wonder they call it the curse”. Yeah. I’m aware. Now could you quit reminding me please?
I could also tell you about how I realized my biggest “child rearing fear” (heh heh….rearing…) today while leaving grocery store #1. This woman and her little girl (maybe 3 or 4? I really have no frame of reference here…although I’m pretty sure she wasn’t 14) were still in the entrance room where they keep the carts, as they were when I walked in. The little girl was having a FIT and falling in it. The mom was trying her best, keeping her cool, talking to the little girl like she wasn’t screaming and crying, and trying to pry her hands off the cart, and the little girl was having none of it. As I walked by, I heard what the little girls tantrum was about. She wanted to hold the reciept. And the mom couldn’t find it. And the little girl just lost her shit. And this is what I’m terrified of. Irrational demands and reactions. I just don’t see myself dealing very well with that. So. One more reason of beng terrified of having kids. That brings us up to about 1,348,932.
Or how about I ask if anyone else thinks that dumbass show “Farmer Wants a Wife” should be called “Farmer Wants a Skank”? I know real cowboys and real farmers and they would NOT put up with some sissy, prissy, drama queen who thinks dirt is the devil and not getting her weekly mani-pedi is like, totally the worst thing EVER!!! For SURE!
But I won’t tell you about any of those things. Because they are depressing and not funny or interesting at all.
I’m going to show you this!
My red pepper! (yes, it’s a red pepper, it just hasn’t turned red yet) I’d say it’s almost the size of a baseball. I’m SO EXCITED!!! Like, ridiculously excited about my red pepper. And also, this!
My weird, funkified green pepper! I’m not sure why it decided to grow all stretched out, but I don’t care! Still excited!! About this too!
Green peppers for Everyone!!!
Also! Sweet banana peppers!!! (Rat loves them)
I couldn’t leave out the pictures of my parsley and thyme.
So there you have it. Pictures of my little garden. I’m going to have to plant them in bigger containers soon. My mom said it was a good thing they’re in kind of smallish pots now though, since it forced growth, instead of just root growth. I totally don’t know what any of that means, but it if means more green and red bell peppers and sweet banana peppers, then count me in!!!
Do y’all grow anything?
A few mornings ago, I came downstairs to a horrible scene.
I couldn’t believe it.
It was horrible.
I still have trouble talking about it.
Just thinking about it makes me feel sick.
I couldn’t believe what Winston had done.
I didn’t think he was capable of something this heinous.
There were innards everywhere.
It was all I could do to keep my breakfast down.
I’m sorry. I did all I could. Bikini Mouse could not be saved.
Time of death, 9:02 AM.
Sir, I believe the police have some questions for you…
Well. Hello there. It’s been awhile. My fault entirely. I know. I’ve been a horrible blogger-er. I’ve written post after post in my head and then sit down with my computer and…read. I read all of y’all’s blogs and then play this stupid game on Facebook (that I’m totally addicted to), and by that time I’m so sick of staring at a computer screen that I turn off my laptop and…uh…stare at a tv screen. I’ve missed Things on the Road Thursday for the past *mumbles* weeks. I am keeping an eye out though. Today I saw a truck that said (well dammit…I just spent 10 minutes trying to remember, but it was funny. Pinky swear!).
So here are a few more things about me to keep this space occupied until I can actually REMEMBER one of the hilarious posts that I write in my head and then can’t remember while I’m in front of my computer.
1.) I absolutely can not stand people who find it neccessary to constantly remind people how smart they are. I can’t think of anything to say after they say something like that and it just ends up being awkward. And they’re looking at me like they expect me to say “Oh yeah! You’re just great! Way smarter than poor little ol’ me!” when in fact, the people who find it neccessary to tell you how brilliant they are, generally are the people who really aren’t. Yeah. I said it.
2.) I am just SO SMART! (totally kidding…I just couldn’t resist…which leads me to the actual #2) I am extremely sarcastic. When forced to be serious for any long amount of time, I start feeling very uncomfortable. So most of my friends are really sarcastic too, or we’d never get along. I just don’t get those people who don’t EVER want to joke around! I mean, being an adult is fine. There are definitely situations where being serious is called for. I understand that, and I’ll keep my sarcasticness at home in my other pants. But COME ON! Laugh once in awhile! Or at least crack a smile.
3.) Some people just piss me off. I can’t help it. Some people just really rub me the wrong way. I read an article recently that said to listen to your gut instinct because more often than not, it’s right. If some guy is creeping you out in the grocery store, don’t just shrug it off. That doesn’t mean that your gut is always right, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.
4.) I hate… HATE… assvice. There’s this guy at the pool hall where I’m a member that always watches me when I shoot. I get so nervous and freaked out that I completely forget my pre-shot routine and end up missing the shot. Then, he’ll pause and say “I know what you’re doing wrong.”. Sometimes, there’s more to it, but it’s always along the same lines of you’re doing something wrong. And then he’ll say “if you wanna know”, so I’m stuck. I’ll sound like even more of a jackass if I say “Uh…no.” So of course, I’ve got to say “what?”. And it’s always the same damn thing. It’s like this guy has no short term memory. I know. I KNOW! I don’t follow through somtimes. I get it! Stop telling me that! Grr! Seriously, if I don’t ask for your advice assvice, just SHUT. UP. No one asked you. And if they wanted your opinion, they’d have asked for it. Something along the lines of “What do you think?”, in case you’re still not getting it. sidenote: I actually stopped going to the first pool hall I went to because of some jackass that MADE ME shoot a shot in front of him, after he blantantly stared at me for AN HOUR, and then asked “so what did you do wrong?” and a few other jackass-type questions and then had me shoot ANOTHER SHOT (which I made, after NOT taking his assvice!) and then he says “NOW you’re playing pool!”, like he just shined a light on my flaws and fixed everything in one minute of NOT EVEN TELLING ME ANYTHING! GAH!!!
*pant pant*
Sorry.
That’s been grating on me for awhile now. Can ya’ tell?
5.) Um…. er…. Oh! I’ve got a touch of the OCD. Case-in-point, I couldn’t leave my list at 4. 5 was what I was going to do, but I’ve forgotten the last one. But I had to have 5. And now I do! Byeee!
Did I mention that it’s one month until my birthday? No? Hmm…how about that.
Is it just me or does “Environmentally Friendly Bug Killer” a bit of an oxymoron?
Has anyone else seen the trailer for the movie The Strangers?
The people/monsters/whatever are after these two people and the girl asks them “Why are you doing this?” And I swear to God, one of the bad guys says “Because you’re a Ho.”
I wanna see this movie.
This week, I’m finally playing along with SPF again! YAY! SPF, I missed you!
So Kristine’s theme for this week is our music players. I know I could be a little more creative with this, but I’m heading out of town tomorrow and I’ve got that fear that I’m going to forget everything. So I’ll just go the easy route.
Everyone, say hello to my iPod mini. iPod mini says hello back. For awhile there iPod mini wasn’t saying much of anything for longer than 20 minutes. But last Christmas, Rat got me one of those battery change kits (and then put it in for me because electronics are soo not my thing) and now it keeps a charge like new! Yay! I highly recommend them. But don’t let Rat put it in for you because then the top will be all scratched up.
Did you play?
