Small, Invisible Bum?

So since the freeze here is what I'm seeing outside under the stairs by our building.

Yes I know, it is pretty dirty out there. I have yet to get off my arse and get outside into the storage closet to get my "outdoor" broom. Yes I have more than one broom.  Doesn't everyone?  I think so!

So yes, I've been looking at this each time I walk by. What is that you say?  Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Okay, so we've a better look at this one, I think.  Looks a little better to me, I've added some text and lets take inventory, shall we?  Okay, so you see there is a pack of QT matches. - check.  We've got numerous pieces of bread and of course a whole piece of bread.  Then there is the cigarette butt and what's that?  A bed?  So what I've been trying to determine, all week, what do we have here?  Is there some unknown Bum, invisibly small bum sleeping outside our apartment?  I'm opted to think it's a smoking animal of some sorts. Lucky us he doesn't smoke very much, I'd hate to come out tomorrow with a collection of cigarette butts.

Day 11, 365 Days of 2011

Hello my fellow bloggers, readers and followers.  It's been a good day, I'd say.  I did some laundry and the dishes, not all the chores on my list are done, but at least I can say I did something!  Right?!  I was out and about some of the day today.  It's usually my weekend alone, but I agreed to allow the ex hubby to take our

daughter to a birthday party today.  She hated this idea, even though she was super excited throughout the week.  Funny how kids work isn't it?  Oh well, we managed and although she insisted she would not have any fun and that the little birthday boy and her little girl friend wouldn't play with her and apparently knows she sucks her thumb she would have no fun!  But SHE DID HAVE FUN!  (I knew she would, she always does) I also had 2 events for today, but declined them both, something about trekking the miles to either place, didn't suit today.  I will admit, I was wanting to be lazy.  And it worked.  That doesn't happen often and I appreciate every minute of it when it does happen.  You'd think Id be over being lazy after the horrid weather we dealt with last week, but I'm still accepting any chance I have.

Princess aka Devil Cat is in heat....AGAIN!  It's every 2 weeks with this awful cat.  I've never had a female cat this long before.  As you all may have read before, I'm not really pet friendly.  Something about taking care of pets, it drives me nuts. I've surprised myself with this one though, I have not given up on her and have kept her this long.  My next plan...As soon as I get past this suffering from lack of money due to holidays, birthdays, and lack of work due to weather, I'm getting this bitch darling kitty spayed.  For real! 

So my random thought of today....  I bought a new shower curtain a while back, I loved my old one and didn't want to replace it, but it was time!  Past time!  I was looking for one just like it, I thought  it was so pretty and had it for what seemed ages.  It was girly and flowery, I loved it.  Now low and behold, this is what I'm looking at now!  It's....nice... And earthy. I do like it, but it just doesn't seem like me.  I've no plans

on shopping for a new one. I also broke down and bought  one for the 2nd bathroom in the apartment.  My daughter is 7, she doesn't take showers or anything, but i thought it might be nice to not be looking into the tub overtime I went in there.  The one in her bathroom, which is shared with her, and the mens/boys  of the house, (1 only here every other weekend), her shower curtain is more my speed.  It's pretty colors and squared I think. I love hers.  But this is what I get to look at.  It's nice, like I said, it actually allows more light to seep through than the previous.  I also think it goes nicely with the wall art in the bathroom. So, it works.  I will replace is one day, but not today.  Today it looks like this.  What is it?  Bamboo?  Oh well....  There you have it, my random thoughts for the day.. Or thought! 

I've more random thoughts now that I think of it.  I'm going strong for now, with my 365 days project, but I've slacked off on my exercise.  This is frustrating for me, because I know it is what I want to do.  I'm thinking positive for tonight, I shall get  it done!  No doubt.  I've slacked off with being sick and cold and lazy, but NO MORE!  I shall do this! 

Goodnight my bloggers, thanks for reading... :)

Oh.So.Stylish?

Oh so stylish huh?  Awe how awesome!  My lovely friend Starlight, see her blog HERE, she is so super awesome and so super sweet to grant me with this honor.  There are rules and requirements as you may call them to being oh so lucky and STYLISH!  So without further ado.... I conquer this task!

In order to accept this award, I have to
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave this award to you - easy enough, right?

 2. Share 7 things about yourself - Oh, yay!  These things always stick me, because lawdy knows I don't want to bore those of you who actually come in and out to read my babbles.  But Ive warned you many times over exactly how babbly I can be!

3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers - Im not sure that I've discovered "15 recently discovered" bloggers!  So if I do not meet this requirement, do I still get the award?

So, shall we move on?  And into the 7 things you may or may not already know about me?  Lezzz doooo eeeettttt!

Thing #1....  I have a sick obsession with Converse.  Oh how I heart my converse.  My most recent pair for my collection are so very awesome!

They are a Dr Seuss addition and oh so fabulous!  I have roughly about... Let me count.... 8 pairs of Converse (and I need more!).  Yes. I'm hopelessly addicted to Converse. I'm almost positive they can be potentially bad for my feet, but they are so awesome. We don't stop wearing heels because they hurt the feet, wait!  Yes I do!  I hate high heels!  They are terribly uncomfortable and make me want to DIE each and every time I put myself through that torture!  EVIL!  Did I mention Converse is awesome? 




Thing #2...I love Krystal hamburgers.  Let me add. I do not eat hamburgers. I do not eat ground hamburger meat.  It's so nasty.   Yes I know Krystal is so nasty also, and I'm fine as long as when I'm biting I do not come across any of those fatty? clear or white particles so commonly found in hamburgers.  They make me gag and once I see them I'm done!  I've yet to have Krystal this year, it's only something I allow myself to eat once or twice a year.  And on a food note, a couple of years ago I had Schlotzskys, oh how I heart their Reuben. I make mines with turkey. It snowed like mad that day and I so craved a Reuben. I went to Kroger, because Schlotzskys  closed due to the winter storm, bought all of the makings for my turkey Reuben. I awoke later that night, sick and vomiting. I have not been able to eat a Reuben since.  :(

Thing #3...I change my hair, A LOT!  What can I say? I'm indecisive!  That's it!  I'm indecisive!  I cut almost all of my hair off last year, to get the black out, Ive done well, have yet to go back to black.  It's safe to say, I may buy me a black wig, maybe put  it off for a little while longer!  So far I've only had red hair this year.  It now has some blond streaks in it. It looks cute, but I feel an aching coming to change it again.  Already you say?  It's been red since November, sheesh!

Thing #4...My favorite food groups are as follows...1) PIZZA 2)Chocolate 3)Veggies
4)Bread/Pasta 5)Dairy Products. I love cheese, OoOoOo and Ice cream... Yum!  Now I'm hungry.

Thing 5...I loathe, hate, DESPISE snow!  It's nice to see it on television. I snicker a little when I see their suffering. I don't want to see it coming from the sky or landing on the grass. I don't care how pretty it is or how fun it is to play in.  If they find a way to make it snow in 80 degree weather, have at it! I will sit on the beach, 90 degree weather, soaking up the sun, watching the snow fall and raise my glass to Global Warming. 

Thing 6... I looooove accessories.  Like really.  One of my favorites are my hats and scarves for cold weather, I probably have a hat and scarf to match each pair of Cons... Eeeep. That makes me smile... Is that bad?

Think 7...I am cold hearted, mostly.  I know what I love and what I don't. I feel strongly about a lot of things.  I'm very opinionated.  And well I lack the ability to show affection.  It's just the way that I am.  I'm not sure why, it doesn't really bother me. I wonder sometimes if it should?

So there you have it... 7 random things about me.  I know it never said anything about making them random.  But it took me a whole 24 hours to come up with these 7 things.  I swear I should be better at these things, but I'm not.  It's OK now though, because I'm done *happy dance*  Now to the last task, name 15 people.  Again I don't think I have that many people on my blog, but I will do what I can. 

Peanut ---  Sam --- Greta --- Gwen --- Lila --- Spitfire --- Laura ---

Yeap see, there you go, no 15 people for me!  Maybe next award I will be better prepared. This one just goes to show, I need to get off my arse and get to checking out new blogs!  I'm on my way.. Weeeeeee!

Day 10, 365 days of 2011.

Hello bloggers.readers.followers.  I'm steady working on more than one blog right now, but I must throw in the towel and leave the blogging to you late nighters. I'm tired for the day.  It's been yet another hecktic day. I'm thankful for my readers who were so nice as to wish well wishes for my mom and such sweet words you left me on my other post.  So sweet of you. Love you guys!  My mom is at home, the Dr appointment went fine and after she made it home, they called with the news on the MRI.  The aneurysm is only 5mm in size, I'm don't know if that's big or small?  On a ruler it looks small, but what do I know in regards to this stuff, nothing.  So they want to operate. I'm sure before long they will have the date set and we will know whats going down.  I just know my mom will rock this shit and beat it down as she always does.  She is my very own personal SUPER HERO! 

So to leave it at this... And reveal what we came here to see... My day 10. Goofing around I think and just not wanting to worry with getting a better photo.  Another lazy night on the couch.  It's day 2 of my couch photos.  Not my favorites, but they shall do! 

DERP!    Good night readers bloggers followers.  :)

Day 9, 365 days of 2011.

It is day 9, I don't know how I feel about this courier font and well to be blunt....I'm tired tonight. It's been a long, long, day!  But BAM!  I did not fail on my 9th day!  *high fives-happy dance* Yup!  I had bad news today, see my "talk me down blog" and awesome news to come in another blog, yes, 3 in one day. Wow for me.  Shocked!

Makes my nose look big.  Oh well. I'm in no mood to click and click for a better picture.  Guess this is the point of the project huh?  Goodnight my readers.  Have an awesome Friday! 

ps... due to fatigue, thats a funny word, I shall save the good news for today blog for tomorrow... :)

Someone talk me down...

Save room today for my, what?  Day 9 in my 2011, but I shall start with this less pleasant news for today.

What is a Brain Aneurysm?

A brain aneurysm, also called a cerebral or intracranial aneurysm, is an abnormal bulging outward of one of the arteries in the brain. It is estimated that up to one in 15 people in the United States will develop a brain aneurysm during their lifetime.
Brain aneurysms are often discovered when they rupture, causing bleeding into the brain or the space closely surrounding the brain called the subarachnoid space, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured brain aneurysm can lead to a hemorrhagic stroke, brain damage and death.

Ugh, yes, my mom broke the news today that her doctor said she has an aneurysm. Um, yea, so I'm fuckingfreakingout!  I must vent here, my mom has been nothing but tortured with her health issues.  When we were kids they diagnosed her with epilepsy.  That was a hard time in itself, but we were younger and no one really say us down and explained what that really meant.  Nor did we understand why mommy was in the hospital for a while.  But she was put on her medicines and everything seemed fine, as far as we were concerned.  Then in like 2001, the doctors diagnosed her with multiple sclerosis.  Ugh, it was devastating for her and us because we were then old enough to use the Internet and understand exactly what was going on.  So now we're dealing with MS and epilepsy.  Last year she had a severe allergic reaction to mold, after quitting smoking, her doctor proceeds to tell her she has COPD.  Holyfuckingshit what else mom? I'm having  a nervous breakdown.  They wiped that away when her breathing became better, which was because the mold was removed from her home.  Things were OK, for the most part. Her breathing sucked for a while, but she was feeling better.  Now this!  Really?  What else can this mother of mine have to deal with?! Like for real?  WHATTHEFUCK!  I'm breaking down emotionally on the way home, fighting the ice and traffic and the CD player being a bitch.  I'm driving home and just having an emotional breakdown and nervous condition.  What can I say, I'm a sucker for my mom.  Call me a Moma's girl or whatever.  It's just how it is!  So... thanks for reading my bloggers!

Day 8, 365 days of 2011

Hello there fellow bloggers/ readers/ followers.  It's day 8.  I'm relatively happy to announce I was able to make it out today!  Whew and what a day it was.  I went to work for only about 5 hours, but my bill collectors will be happy.  Well some of them *winks*.  So it's day 8 and once again I'm filling this day 8 with all the joyous things that went on today!  But low and behold... Me on day 8.  I'm not sure the expression on my face, I was actually kind of surprised I was able to get this in one take.  ha ha.  That doesn't happen to very often, not for me anyways.  So BAM!  Go me!  Go me!  Go me!  Yes I really am slightly shot out.  It's okay, you still love me!  Just admit it, we will all feel better when you do! I'm tired... Here is my 'fun' for today. I blogged yesterday? that I tried to escape the apartment complex in the SUV with no success.  Well today it was attempted again, not by me, mind you and no!  Damn thing still wouldn't do it.  Rear wheel drive is stupid!  Wasn't I blogging in "American Muscle" ranting and raving about taking away the rear wheel drive? WTF!  But... my darling Camry rang Champion today!  She made it in places that no SUV could go.  I tip my hat to my darling car, and it's time NOW to name this darling car of mine! 

Yes!  There she is!  My little princess champion of the day!  I am so proud of her and slightly of myself for maneuvering her through the weather!  She did awesome!  Now for you my bloggers, can you help me name this precious princess of mine?  Can't name her Princess, because Devil Cat is aka Princess! So, ready, set, NAME!  A little insight on the life of my car. I bought it in 2005 and it had some problems and kinks, but I think it's safe to say they've been worked out, or rode out anyways.  She has like 250,000 miles on her.  And yes!  I've always had "chic" cars, by that I mean, my cars have always been "hers" . I'm rawking the black bumper, because I've replaced it and never had it painted. The fender you see in this picture was also once black, but I purchased some white spray paint last year and took care of that, rust was impending.  So there you go, a little background on the nameless Champion of today!  You readers must think I'm seriously challenged.  But I've warned you many times how random I am and well how bored I find myself, which sends my thoughts into la-la land! Lastly for today... Our adventures at work.  I said I made it in today and I was glad for this, however it was necessary for me to take my daughter to work with me. *grumbles*  She loves to go to work with mom, but lawdy it can drive me bonkers sometimes.  This was the fun part of work today...  That whole hill which comes down into

workplace was ICE!  Just a nice sheet of ice. No one was ever able to pass down this hill, nor go up this hill.  We attempted to walk up this hill, I gave up and drove my fearless champion up the other hill which I should have taken a photo of, but dammit I forgot! It took me 3 shots to make it up the other hill, it was a mess at work today!  But some of us made it in and made it out alive.  I'm hopeful for tomorrow and my daughter will be heading to her dads in the morning, for the day.  Which will make my work schedule a little more bearable tomorrow!  All in all it was a pretty good day bloggers.  I hope all was well for you all!  Good night my readers, I'm hopefully going to get back to other random blogs again soon, right now it's just erratic with work and snow and everything else!
