IE7 And Stapled Magazines Suck

Computers are getting in my way of being happy. I happily cruise the internet on a daily basis. I look at it as my R&R. Leave me alone for about half an hour and I swear it will be worth your while. However, when roadrunner can't get their shit together and the lady in the Phillipines from Microsoft totally wipes it out.... it sucks. Having computers and taking care of their maintenance and upkeep is a tee-total pain the ass. Do you know how little I would have on my mind if I wasn't thinking about running this or doing that or blogging about this or seeing if anyone posted a new article or comment on other blogs.... I'd actually probably be bored. So, in between these last sporadic posts my computer caught a bad virus and was totally screwed, now after all the hard work and hours on the phone with different people, I happen to be back in working order, oh yeah, that is if I don't want to listen to anything. For some reason in the transition my sound card was deleted and guess what it's telling me now ... that there isn't one there. Well I don't think the sound card burglar snuck in in the middle of the night and took it so it's freakin' there, you just have to know where to look or decipher is the sound card file is corrupted and then go to the cd and search for it there and ... blah, blah, blah. In other words, unless Brent decides to reinstall it anytime soon, I hope my blog has sound when you listen to it because it doesn't when I log on. Tired of everybody and everything. Getting away either this week of next. Can't decide but since Friday is July 4th and Brent' off, we may just decide to take off for a few days and let the boys play at their aunt's house. Not much going on here. People only truly care about themselves and their own inconveniences. They don't understand how truly they can hurt someone else's feelings by their actions. Needless to say, too long and boring to go into but I'm tired of trying. I actually tried to be nice and friendly for awhile and guess where it gets you ... no where absolutely friggin nowhere. People claim to be Christians but are they really? Do they even know the meaning of the word?




Brent has spent all day putting in his new stereo because I have yet to venture out and try my hand at the Walgreen's and CVS coupons to see how much I can save. I made my list, compiled my coupons and carefully arranged them. Saved about $10 at Walmart between coupons on organic milk and dog food so it worked out really well. The boys got the new game at Circuit City yesterday so they have been very quiet and enthralled with it last night and today. I think Liam stayed up most of the night but he was up early too. I hope he sleeps late tomorrow morning. Brent and Ian got up early and had the grass mowed and everything by the time I got up. He came and woke me up at 9:45am. I don't even know why I slept so late other than I was exhausted. We watched a pretty good movie last night, Mad Money, and we all enjoyed it. Even Ian watched it all the way through so I told them tonight they could pick which one. Been ordering them off of I-Control so they have a few to pick from. Ian wants to see Mr. Magorium's Magical Emporium so hopefully if he picks that I'll fall asleep. Nah, just kidding. I'll have to sit through it with great enthusiasm and excitement and tell him what a great movie he picked. By the way if you haven't seen Mimzy (I think that's the name) it is really cute too. He picked that one and we went to the movies quite a while back but it's definitely worth the rent.




OK, so we made our way over to Barnes and Noble the other day and I got the last one of the Stephanie Meyers series: Twilight, New Moon, & now Eclipse. Have yet to read one of them but the new one comes out in August and I think the movie in September. You know how I am from talking about it before: I'm great at buying; just not so great at reading. Bought the latest edition of Radar and I made Brent stay up late with me last night reading the 100 things listed on the back page. They changed their format and the magazine now has staples in it binding it together which is a bit cheesy if you ask me and they changed the fonts which I can't stand. Getting up the nerve to email them: like we wouldn't notice. Trying to get on the make the money bandwagon and cutting down on glue and binding I guess so now they're stapling the magazine like a pamphlet or brochure. Definitely do not like it so maybe I'll email them and let them know! How pathetic right? Actually worrying about the binding on a stupid magazine. Now I'm going to go worry about important stuff like greenhouse gases and global warming. But.... that's boring. I like the thought of terrorizing a magazine until they go back to the way it was last freakin' month!! Ciao!

I LOVE EBAY

I have a love/hate affair with EBAY. I love to win and I hate to lose. I started collecting the jadeite depression pieces and winning on ebay and I absolutely LOVE them. I won the bid on saucers, salad plates, cream and sugar set. So I have a long way to go but that's a good start I guess. It wasn't that expensive but the shipping costs just as much as the merchandise. That's where they get you. Well, must go ebay, must go ebay..... smile!

Also, the new RADAR is out in the newsstands so check it out. Another one of my favorite things.... my Radar magazine. Hope you get one soon and check it out. Must have sense of humor or else it probably won't seem that great to you.

Scrub Your Boobs & Get A Mini Crock-Pot

I have got to post some pics of the boys and update you all on what's been going on. Baseball games last night and tonight so while the boys are cutting grass and doing the yard today I'll be making my all organic spaghetti and meatballs. For some reason they love it more than any other recipe I've ever made. Hopefully everything will be ready before Liam has to go to the batting cages at 5:15. I've got plenty of time so I shouldn't have any excuses. I cannot wait until we have our weekends back and go take the boys to do fun stuff on Saturday nights, well I guess baseball is fun to them but NOT to me!! LOL Anywho, I'm read this article in this months RADAR magazine about all the hoopla surrounding the Church of Scientology and then I visited some of the websites they listed in the article. It is VERY interesting. These people are psychotic. Kind of reminds me of another church we've had to deal with lately. Don't drink the jungle juice! So, if you see a RADAR pick it up; they have some great articles in there and they are hilarious. I need to get a subscription because its so hard to find them. Once they put them on the shelves they are usually gone in a few days so Barnes & Noble is always out or the only one they have left is all fingered up and I will not buy one that all the others have touched their disgusting amoeba'd hands all over. OK, that was funny. Is that how you spell "amoeba?" YUP, I just checked and the spelling is correct but I don't think there is a past tense for amoeba? Oh well I just made it up. So that one that is all germed up can stay right there for the poor unsuspecting sucker to buy it because I won't.

So I bought this itty bitty crock-pot which is hopefully all I'll need for small stuff. It's not as small as the picture; it's 2 quart and I think the pic is a 1 qt. I'm going to put cheese dip with taco meat in there today and then tomorrow I'm going to try this dip that the crockpot lady put on her site. I've never used or owned one this small but it's so damn cute even if I don't use it, it looks super cute like a bunch of little people could use it as a regular crock-pot. Tricia said she needs one like it for food because it's just her and Drake and that's all they would need. I told her to go get one then and stop eyeballing mine. I'll let you know how they turn out. I'm tired of having cheese dip leftover after they eat and then having to throw it out because no one wants it again and again.

OK, so I've been researching this MiniMax air purifier and I think I'm going to invest in one. My friend has one and it makes her office smell great and it seems to have cut down considerably on the dust accumulation. I know, boring shit but oh well if you keep reading you have to read about it for a short time. So, the scent that she adds make it smell wonderful and since my family cannot stand the smell of cooked bacon in the house or meat that is browning, I think it may be a wise investment. Plus, some days I just walk in and you know how every house a "smell." Well, at least I want mine to smell good. When friends and family let me borrow things, I can smell their house on their things. I know it's weird but my house does have a smell and after a day of being gone all day and then walking in after it has been closed up without any activity, that's when you can smell the smell of your house. Try it and see if when you first walk in if you like it. If you do like it, then great, if not, get one of these little daddy-o's or that lamp thing that I have and you pour in the oil fragrance and let it burn for like a minute and then blow it out and the smell permeates everything. Well, that works a little too good. All the scents are really strong and sometimes I have to open the doors and windows to air it out. This little minimax looks like a bug so that's what I call it. It will be called the "bug deodorizer" on this blog from now on. Actually I didn't even know the real name until I started pricing them. But Vacuum City in Nederland has them and I've been eyeballing them for about four months so I'll mosey on over there later and get one. Oh, and my friend with the jewelry shop and purses just went to market so I'm going to her house to see if I can find some new purses and sunglasses. Knock-offs but they're still great for me. We're having a shrimp boil tomorrow so the kids should enjoy that. Brent is going to start building the deck for the pool so that by the time school's out and he's off on another training excursion they'll be able to frolic and play without me. My friend went to New Orleans yesterday and they stopped at some mall and the Disney store was having a blowout on all their beach towels and beach wear and things like that so I had to put in my order. I got Ian a few things and then several others for upcoming birthdays and such. I like to have a nice supply on hand. Ian has about four more parties before the end of the year and then family birthdays this summer. My friend that I put this order in with was telling me about the MAC store and how big it is and I'm like whatever biotch. She was just cracking up because I'll spend more money on makeup and shampoo and hairspray and she buys all of her stuff at Walmart. I tell her that's why she's going to be old and wrinkly. Which reminds me I did my facial with the Mary Kay lady and bought a bunch of that and the microderm abrasion pack seems to be working. Well, let's see I've used it twice and I really like the way it makes my skin feel. I even did my butt and boobs. Careful not to let it seep into orifices but you know what I mean. Do we ever really think about scrubbing our butts and boobs to make them soft or to just get all of the sweat and grime off? Well, try it. This other body scrub has these little pellet rock things in it and that's great for the shower for your whole body. I hope my boobs don't peel or anything. Try and take care of ALL of your body parts, you never know when you're going to be in a bank and a robber comes in and makes everybody strip down naked so no one will run after him and the general public is now critiquing your body. They may say it's large but it will never be bumpy, pimply, scaly or in need of exfoliation that's for sure! And when I say they can kiss my shiny ass, well, it'll be the truth.
