"DEVIL ED EGGS"

Can someone please explain to me why EVERY time I want to make deviled eggs to take somewhere they

WON'T F*KING PEEL???

If I'm going to make them to keep at home when no one is coming over??

PERFECT!

Going to smash them up for egg salad??

PERFECT!

In case you haven't guessed I just make egg salad out of the 18 count of eggs I bought to make DEVILED EGGS for tomorrow. Guess we won't be taking THOSE to the in laws!

Why should you wear a belt all weekend?

So I totally rocked the laundry on Saturday. TEN loads. DONE, put away!! Go me! Last one went in at like 9:00 at night or something like that but whatever, I got it done and I was good and put it away as I went to I didn't have the totally overwhelming laundry pile to put away.

Now to keep it up. I need to buy some more laundry soap soon! Did you know that there is actually a floor in front of the washer and dryer? It's awesome! But seriously, I thought I had more cute tops. I MUST go shopping soon.

But maybe I should go on a diet first because OMG I might need to shop in the maternity section soon. I'm seriously pushing 5 months  it looks like. Yeah Zexy. And this morning? I couldn't find my belt. Which I need because my fat roll pushes my pants down, and I have no hips or ass to hold it up. SOooo not a pretty site. I got so desperate I dug out one from DH's drawer and sadly it fits. Thank GOD it's the tightest little spot though. I think I would have cried if that wasn't the case.

It's so weird that I can't find my belt because we totally cleaned house on Saturday. My brother in law was coming over (for the first time in probably like 10 years or more?) to bring a turkey. I told hubby ummm we might want to clean up a bit first?? So we had a big group family clean up. Except for Jessica. She's NOISY and even hubby said that it wasn't really worth it to wake her up. Finally seeing things my way! She makes it so stressful. I guess she's pretty smart.

So anyways, what was I saying? Oh yeah, so we cleaned the house and got it good enough except for my bedroom where I had been holed up making bookmarks. We threw all the Halloween boxes and items (don't judge) in there and all over the bed. So his brother calls that he's here. We have a gate out where we live now, and since we hardly ever have anyone over we don't have the number memorized that people need to push to call us and we don't even know what phone number we gave them so we are stupid and he just ran down there to open the gate for him. And I'm all "DON'T TAKE HIM THROUGH OUR BEDROOM", because that is where the backdoor is and we usually go in and out that way.

He comes back. THROUGH THE BEDROOM, with his brother trailing behind him. I'm like OMG seriously? The one disaster room of our house and you just gave him a tour. Did I mention that my BIL's house you could probably eat off the garage floor and it would be perfectly ok? Yeah he's that kind of guy. It seems to have skipped my husband. Sadly.

Anyhow, so he knows we are lazy ass slobs now. He brought a turkey over for us since we are cooking Thanksgiving dinner at the in laws house. After he left Scott saw the price tag on the turkey. $30 For a 24 pound turkey!! Me=only buys turkey under $10. Yeah obviously he's never been a thrifty person. Must be nice ;o)

So anyhow, I think it's rather odd that I can't find my belt after my house is clean and the laundry is done and yes, obviously I wore sweats all weekend but I was WORKING on bookmarks. See, here they are.

Yes one of them is the same as the other day, just with new picture. Glad I could salvage it. 12 more on my list to make then I will be caught up. Love this time of year. Now if everyone will just pay me for them it will all be good!

Today's my Blogiversary

My little blog is three years old today!! Sadly I'm not famous, don't have a cookbook, my own tv show, book, hot mommy blogger award or even 100 followers. It's ok though!! I have a few of you that have hung on to read all my ramblings and have made some great bloggy friends.

Although some of the other things would be nice too!!

So I'm sitting here in my nightgown, gettting ready to work on some bookmarks. I made 3 yesterday but somehow got a name/picture confused so I'm waiting to hear back from the woman that ordered it. Freaking sucks since it takes me hours to make them. Hopefully I can just make one more and not two to fix the problem. I feel like I've been working on this order forever. But they did come out cute!

I think while I'm working on bookmarks I'm going to set the timer as I do the laundry to try and get it all caught up this weekend. Wouldn't that be exciting! Laundry caught up, I'm not sure it's possible.

No exciting plans for the weekend, although at some point I should probably go buy a turkey so it's not all frozen on Thursday morning, and maybe put away the Halloween decorations that I  Melissa and Trevor put up. Those decoration things just seem to be the first to go when I'm a working woman!

So anyhow, I should probably have like got a gift or something to give away for my big day today. BUT no one has offered me awesome gifts to give away and we had to buy exciting things like TIRES and TURKEY so I'll offer you my sunny disposition instead :)

Bookmarks and Baby Teeth

Yesterday I got home from work and YEAHHH didn't have anywhere to go. I got busy working on some bookmarks and that took me most of the evening. Here's what I got done.

The whole time I was working on them Trevor was in my room looking in the big mirrors on my closet door trying to get his front tooth out. He was torturing me by bending it all the way forward, so gross! Finally right before bedtime he got it out!  He was so excited!

And, like a shark he already has a replacement tooth that just needs to move up lol. All my kids had that happen on their 2 bottom front teeth. They seem to move up just fine.

I forgot to put a title here lol

I feel like such a bad blogger lately! I keep trying not to post boring, complaining posts and well there you have it, I end up not posting. Hmm it's a sign lol. And also there is that whole Farmville thing and even my middle kid is on there now and OMG if someone needs to harvest their artichokes and you are on the computer all hell is going to break loose if you don't hurry up and get the fuck off.

:clears through:

Anyhow, I've been busy making bookmarks again. Love those holiday orders! I hadn't had any orders since the end of the school year and now I have a ton so busy busy doing that and then trying to tract down some paper requests. All the local scrapbook stores are gone now, which is really sad. I think the trend is moving towards digital scrapbooking (which I still have to try out), but there are still those of us that make "other things" out of scrapbook paper. I finally found what I was looking for at Michael's of all places, which really kind of annoys me since I should have just went there first. I had a bit of sticker shock when seeing that some of their single sheets of paper are $1.99. Can you imagine if you weren't paying attention and loaded up on that? One way to get you to move right on over to the paper stacks.

So all you non scrapbooker/paper crafters have probably left by now. And you aren't going to read that I saw some guy SPIT on his jeans yesterday and THEN wipe his face on it. I almost threw up when I saw him do it. He was sitting on the little curb in front of the gas station store. Most likely homeless, which is sad, but man have some dignity. I guess maybe you reach a point when you lose that all together.

Took Jessica in to get her eyes checked and new glasses ordered yesterday. $200 in all at Costco. You can't beat them if you don't have optical insurance. Her script has changed dramatically which means she wasn't just complaining all the time about not being able to see the tv just to annoy me. Go figure!

Next up is dentist and braces for her. Poor kid is a sophmore and I'm finally going to bite the bullet to get her in for braces, which once again we don't have insurance for (or dental at all). Hopefully I won't get laid off again and can actually afford to pay for them.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is next week? Not sure if I posted here or not that I'm going to be cooking for the inlaws and we are having it at THEIR HOUSE. Still trying to decide how I'm going to work all that since I don't want to hang out at their house all day. I'm thinking I'll cook most of it at home then just take it over there. Wish me luck!

How NOT to do a Science Fair Project.

So the funniest thing happened today.  By process of elimination (we had some people out sick) I got to go help judge a science fair for work! It was kind of fun and I was just cracking up at a couple of these.

How NOT to do a science project.

1. Write what you are supposed to do on a piece of paper.

2. Staple it onto the board where it should go.

3. Write title in pencil on the top of the board.

4. You're done!!

1. Pick cool project ie: How do we stop music related plant deaths.

2. Throw leaf down to show how the plant died

3. Write some rambling things the voices in your head told you.

4. You're DONE!

1. Write something on paper. It doesn't matter what, just write it on the paper all crooked like and then affix  it on the board.

2. Glue wadded up tissue paper to the board.

3. You're DONE!!

OMG aren't they histerical?? Sad part is that I heard these projects are like 1/2 of these kids science grades! Someone's going to be grounded. Or not.

Someone lost their...

I was driving to work this morning and saw a lump up ahead by the center line. I was thinking ohhh I wonder what got hit this time. ::insert sad face here:: I'm getting closer, think maybe it's a cat. Or a raccoon. Or a skunk. But wait? What's this?? It's not an animal.

IT'S A PAIR OF PANTS!!

Seriously how in the world does a pair of pants end up in the middle of the road?

There is an orchard right there so maybe someone went for a romp in the orchard. And then they didn't have time to put their pants on because while they were in the middle of it, someone caught them and they ran and jumped in the car and sped off and somehow dropped their jeans on the road in the process?

I dunno but my mind's working on that one!
