what halloween taught me

Even if I can see the kids at the door or hear them coming... once that door bells chimes; I jump!

Masks. HATE them. If I can't see your eyes and/or face I'm not ok with that. (I have this problem with sunglasses too)

If you're going trick or treating, wear a costume or have a damn good excuse as to why you don't! Especially when you're begging for candy.

I put the treats in your bag- you don't take my treats to put in your bag.

Only buy candy you like so when all is said and done, you get to eat the leftovers. YUM!

...and lastly, Michael Jackson is alive. I am certain because I gave him a Butterfinger tonight.

jinxing myself

Alright, listen up. I have a confession.

I read wedding blogs.

I'm not getting married. I'm not engaged.
Heck! I don't even have a damn boyfriend!
I'm a bad dater, or I just date bad guys; jury is still out on this one.

...but yep! Wedding blogs!
Not many.
4

I think the best 4 that are out there though.

Meg at A Practical Wedding. Her words and wisdom are so calming, not just about weddings but about life in general. I always feel relaxed and soothed by what she has to say.

Sara at 2000 Dollar Budget Wedding. Sara and Matt have got it goin' on! Some of her (their) ideas just make me want to slap my forehead and go... Duh! why didn't I think of that?!!

Dana is The Broke-Ass Bride. Skillz baby... skillz!

...and finally, Ariel over at Offbeat Bride. Porn! That girl has some of THE best wedding porn, ever! Well, she has other 'wedding' related stuff but the wedding porn makes my knees weak!

So by reading these rockin' blogs, I hope I'm not jinxing myself in the whole wedding/marriage department but whatever! These girls know what they're talking about in ohhh so many ways!

I will say this though, when and if my day comes... I am going to have one heck of a wedding PARTY!

Keep up the great work ladies!

Now let's find me a man! (haha)

blogging toast

I can't believe I missed it! I missed my one year blogiversary!
I haven't even hit 100 posts yet. Less than 100 posts in 365 days?
Woah! Bad blogger!

My blog needs a remodel. Like with our homes, after a while staring at the white walls becomes a little nauseating.
Thoughts? Ideas? My geek skills are unfortunately limited.

I haven't been feeling all that well but I'll save that for later. I just know that no human should still feel tired after sleeping all night then most of the day. That's all I do is sleep! But If I'm not sleeping, I'm in pain. Gah!

My new car is great. We're still getting to know each other. I'll admit, I've sworn at it a few times and I once wished I had my old car back. Giving up a V6 is tough.

Today I picked Boy Child up at school and one of our conversations went something like this....

"Hey Mom?! You know about fructose?"
Yes. What about it?
"Well... Z(boy at school) thought it was fruit on toast!"
Do you know what it is? Fructose?
"I know it's not fruit on toast!"

Go on! Say 'fructose' out loud. It sounds like fruit on toast!

Dear residents of Maine,

On November 3, 2009 it's time for you to step up to the plate, set an example and make history!

Hugs 'n' kisses,
sick and tired of 'yes on 1' signs and commercials

punch you in the kisser

This is going to be 'quick' because I'm at school.

I've never mentioned this before but I plan on writing about this sometime soon, I hate small talk!
I mean, I really HATE it.

As my luck would have it, I was just blessed with a quick small talk conversation with a fellow student.

Him: Having fun?
Me: (annoyed) yep. (grabbing my yogurt from the refrigerator)
Him: I'm not but I'm passing all my classes this year. I'm surprised.
Me: (let out a deep sigh, rolled my eyes and walked away)

Seriously! Just pass your fuckin' classes already. Even if you pull off a C, high C, low C-- whatever! You paid big money for the course, just pass!

Oh, and I don't care.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

do re mi

Just another reason why I heart Volkswagen!

think the thoughts

Just a few thoughts:

Hilary Swank is looking fantabulously beautiful on the cover of this months marie claire.
Jon and Kate need to go away. Forever.
I'm seriously addicted to Accidentally on Purpose. Jenna Elfman has done it again!
It's refreshing to finally have a medical professional listen and take action.
I'm excited for the possible changes.
I can't please everyone.
My decisions are my own.
You're damned if you do; you're damned if you don't.
Auctioning Elvis' hair? It's true!
I need a night of deep sleep. I want to wake up feeling refreshed!
I am beyond ready to get rid of my car and welcome my new car home. That's right-- a new (to me) car!
I'm so cool that on a Friday night I'm on the couch snuggled up with Baxter, in my jammies and this is all before 7pm.
Reese's miniature peanut butter cups are really salty. I'm not such a fan anymore but I can't stop shoving them down my gullet!
Fall means pumpkin!
Pumpkin coffee, cappachino, ice cream, cream cheese rolls, muffins! Oh my!!
Before fall is over... I'm close to turning into a pumpkin!
I mention I'm getting a new car?

I need a white board

*warning*
This song is catchy.
Fuck is said a lot.
BUT the video is great so maybe, just turn the volume down a little.

I see a white board and BRIGHT colored markers as my new form of therapy soon.

Patrick Dempsey

Let me get this clear, I do NOT watch Grey's Anatomy nor do I plan to so don't let the title fool you, this has nothing to do with that.

Patrick Dempsey recently came to Maine.
Lewiston, Maine to be exact. My home town.
His home state.
He went to the same high school as my mother. My aunt went to high school with his sister.
We really do live in a small world.

You can go home.

Well, this man has been doing some amazing things. If you want to be inspired do a little bit of reading and a little bit of watching.

you and me

Dave Matthews Band.
LOVE them.
Love him!
I can't even explain it so I won't bother trying.

Just watch...
