Thursdays Monkey 'butt'

Happy Thursday Dingleberries.  Here we are another week coming to an end.  Reading, watching talking about monkeys.  Exciting isn't it?

This week we have this little guy here. Can be found in the movie "Night at the Museum". He was quite a little arsehole in the movie.  Always tempting Larry and just being a normal pain in the arse monkey!  Don't you just want one just like him?  I bet he flings poo and just makes the biggest messes ever! The scene I found from the movie is pretty funny though.  They get carried away sometimes. It's hilarious when he tricks him with some little kid keys. Hilarious.

If you haven't seen it. You should give it a shot. Not one of my favorites, but it's worth watching. At least once (just my opinion there). 

Enjoy Dingleberries. See ya next week for more monkey times.

1st week of school

Well Dingleberries, I'm not doing much better with staying caught up with my blogging. Summer seems to be over already and my dahlin Pokey is back to school.  I'm missing her like mad today, not that it's unusual for me to miss her.  I just hope she is having a blast at school!  Stay tuned for this weeks Monkey Butt post and I will take Friday as the day to play catch up with my week this week!  Have an awesome Thursday!

Day 211 & 212, 365 days of 2011

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

Happy Sunday?  I went dress shopping with some of my favorite lady friends, no luck. They didn't have the color the bride to be was looking for. So now it's back to the drawing board :grumbles: Seems to me we're running short on time, I'm sure she is unhappy about this. 

Had an awesome night and got Pokey some new socks for school.  Whewt! 

Monday, August 8th, 2011

So I was told yesterday I looked like Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction. It's obviously the hair, but still flattering.  I lub some Uma Thurman!  :)

Today was the first day of school for Pokey. So in between panic attacks all day worrying that the mishap from her first day of Kindergarten would repeat. Called daycare only twice at the end of the day and she made it off the bus to daycare.  Whew!  I can't stand the thoughts of her getting off anywhere else, I'm sure this is everyone though!

Work was craptastic, but it's Monday so don't act surprised or anything. 

Pokey was grumptastic this morning as well, hated the clothes she picked out as well as the shoes that we agreed on at the shoe store. Oh lucky me I get to go back to the shoe store with hopes they will exchange them being as I've no receipt. My little silly Pokey.  I don't understand what's to hate about those shoes. But then again, perhaps she doesn't have the same love for almost any shoes that I do! 

Goodnight Dingleberries.  I'm trying if you haven't noticed. I've read all I can read tonight.  Let's shoot for making sure I've read them all tomorrow!

365 days of 2011

Hello dearest Dingleberries.  I cannot believe how far behind I am. I know it's about 7 days at this point. So I'm going to attempt to keep this as short as possible.  Excited aren't you!  It's OK. I am too!

Day 203... Saturday, July 30th, 2011



Got my hair cut. FINALLY. It's too short for my taste right now, it really is. But it will have to do. Obviously I don't want to go shorter.  I needed the dead ends cut off and this did it nicely. Lovely day we had here, managed to get everything on my agenda DONE! 

Day 204, Sunday, July 31st 2011

Sadly I spaced and forgot today's photo. A day filled with wedding rehearsals and heading off to my sisters for babysitting fun.  My sis and bro in law decided to take off to Savannah for a few days and Pokey and I offered to baby sit to make their trip a little more relaxing. Nervous times for me I tell ya. Pokey is 7. I haven't watched a baby for more than a day in a very long time! :)

Day 205, Monday, August 1st, 2011

Babysitting was so much easier than I thought. Perhaps it's just the sweet dahlin I was babysitting :)  We had a blast on day/night 1!  Awesome. A black and white photo day.

Day 206, Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

OoOoOo yes that's right I was playing with options on my phone camera. ha ha. Not too bad, but definitely weird. :)  And still babysitting. Not bad at all!

Day 207, Wednesday, August 3rd 2011

Last day of babysitting. Slightly sad, because it was fun and Pokey  really did enjoy it a lot. She was very upset and cried when I told her it was time for us to go home.  Sadly!  Oh well though we have another chance I am sure!

Day 208, Thursday, August 4th, 2011

Open house this morning.  Awesome fun. Met Pokey's teacher and am excited as well as hopeful she will contain her talking this year and not get in much trouble. There weren't many names of the kids I knew on the list in her class, so maybe  that will help also.  She does have a little boy from her daycare in there as well, she seemed really shy about this!

Payday today. AWESOME!  I always enjoy that! 

Day 209, Friday, August 5th, 2011

Friday Friday Friday!  Yays!  I've gotta finish Pokeys school shopping tonight. Which is just awesome. I have to go suffer through mall traffic and crowds.  ::grumbles:: It didn't go to bad and didn't spend to much money. Watched "The Smurfs" which wasn't too bad. I was worried at first, but it was all in all pretty good! Had a blast. Glad its the weekend!

Day 210, Saturday, August 6th, 2011

Holy crap batman I'm all caught up now. For that I am glad. As you can tell I managed another color change on the hair today.  Whewt!  I'm happier with this than the brown as seen above.  I think I can stick with this one for a while. I"m wishing for long, dark, wavy hair. Sadly I have the straightest hair that I know of. It sucks, but I'm thinking perhaps a curling iron or a mild perm could fix that if I were to grow it out.  Shall see. I may hit the shoulder length (as always) and say MEH I just don't like it.  I swear that's the roughest point to get through.  Oh wells. As short as it is right now, I just may never get there. dedication I tell you. I don't have enough of it when it comes to certain most things!

Well Dingleberries, I hope you enjoyed me playing catchup with my 365 days post. I'm hopeful now that things are back to some kind of normal I can stay on top of this like I have been.  Here's to hoping!  I hope everyone is having a great Saturday and an awesome Sunday tomorrow. I'm guessing I will be found somewhere in Athens shopping with my girlfriends for bridesmaid dress.  Awesome!

Thursdays Monkey 'butt'

This weeks Monkey Butt turned out to be a double post of sorts.  They're both from an awesome source if you ask me.  What can I say?  Indiana Jones is a weakness of mine.



(photo taken here) 
-- His blog seems interesting and I've every intention of checking out. Props to that guy who thankfully posted a pic of this guy and this weeks monkey of topic.  Check it out.--



Indiana Jones may very well be one of my all time favorite movies, series whatever.  I hope there is not a single person out there reading this that can say they have never watched at least one of the movies.  I'm going to die a little inside  if I hear the words, so please. Just keep it to yourselves.  (winks)

Back to the point... 

Remember the cute little monkey?  Not only did he rat out Marion (Karen Allen) in Raiders of the Lost Ark (for those who don't know)

Indiana Jones was hired by the government in this one to find the Ark of  the Covenant before the Nazis do. I don't want to spoil anything, but then again you have all seen them and it wouldn't be anything you didn't already know.

He did find the ark, but it was short lived. He lived through the opening of  the ark when sadly the other folks came to their demise.

Back to the monkey though. Cute little bastard that he is he came to his demise from poisoning. You read it. Someone actually attempted to poison Indiana Jones. I mean what the hell were they thinking?  This guy is AWESOME why would you do that? They almost succeeded had the po po dead monkey not been found first. Damn poisoned dates!  Just  isn't right! 

 R.I.P you cute little bastard!

Here we have another Indiana Jones picture. Looks like Monkeys might  have been frowned upon.  Here I was thinking his only fear was snakes and we have all these dead monkeys. 

"Willie" here found herself at a very lovely table full of very evil psychotic asshats.  After they loaded the table full of snakes and bugs and just all the nasty shit you can think of. They bring this out "Chilled monkey brains" as they call it. Holy shit batman that is so nasty.

Yea crossed eyes and fainting was to follow!  Just. Nasty!  I'd imagine I'd came about the same way.  Indiana Jones- Temple of Doom is probably my favorite Indiana Jones movie. Saving the city and all the kids, all while not getting your heart ripped out and being eaten by crocodiles on a falling bridge.  Awesome!  Again, Indiana Jones you rawk, you and your apparent hatred for monkeys!

Happy HumpDay

 Hello Dingleberries, Please forgive my slackness. It's not really slackness, its busy busy times these days. But they are wrapping up today and I'm hopeful to at least get  caught up on reading all of your wonderful blogs!

Till later, have an awesome hump day, or rest of it anyways!
