Not to be confused with National Shellfish day, as said by someone with a retainer (that would be me this morning before I took them out)
This is the day I declare to be National Selfish Day or NSD. Why shouldn’t we have a day where we only think about ourselves? Get up whenever we want to? Not do housework? Watch what we want on TV? Hang out until the wee hours doing crafts and sewing, and having fun??
oh..I did that yesterday…..sigh.
Okay, what about National Shoe Shopping Day??
Pet Peeve: “noun : a frequent subject of complaint”. Um, duh. I have lots of those I guess.
Here are some I came across today:
That’s all I got. I have to get the place ship shape so I can finish my Chirstmas crafts and silent auction items. All in a days work!
h/t Jon

2.Debbi (bf #1.2)
3.Natalie (bf #2)
4.Leslie (bestest sister)
5.Mike (My Daddy)
6.Carla (Miss Carca)
7.Michelle (bf #1)
8.Matt (hubby of Debbi)
9.Lorraine (My Mommy)
Today is the official first day of the National Blog Posting Month. You know, the month in which I post cheesy little posts about fluff and stuff? Yeah…I might even come up with some well thought out non-rambling type posts! Stay tuned….
So my sister thinks I looked pretty good in my pink and black wig on Halloween. She said I am the only person she knows who actually looks good with pink and black hair. Dare I say I agree with her? It was the one day strangely enough that I DID feel pretty.I thnk it was because I put on make-up and didn’t just slap on a baseball cap. I don’t know what it is about wigs, even cheap wigs from Target. They make you feel like someone else for just a little while and some days that is a good thing! Here is another picture of my whole 80’s rock chic outfit.
It was really fun to dress up and go to our church’s Annual FallFest and paint the kids hands and faces. I use paint pens and make cute butterflies and heart with star for the girls and footballs and basketballs for the boys. Only problem is, my head is down like for 2 hours straight and I don’t get to see my kids walking around and playing all the games. Jon gets to do that. His feet felt like they were going to fall off at the end of the night. Poor guy. He went as Hugo “Hurley” Reyes from LOST. Either people got it or they didn’t. It was funny. He even made Dharma food with the white logo lables and everything. I’ll ask him to post a pic of himself later. The concept of Hurley was there, but the wig we found last minute was more Capt. Hook/Slash from GunsNRoses than Hurley. But that’s ok, he looked great!
Today is MJ’s first day back to preschool offcially. Well, at least for the month of Nov. I paid for 1 day a week because that is all we could afford right now. It gets me out of the house and gives me a reason to avoid laundry for at least one day. Heck, I avoid it without having to pay for MJ to go to school! I’m getting together with my friend and we are going to go look at model homes so I can dream about what I want my house to look like someday. *sigh* Someday…..
Tootles! Have a great day!
Happy Halloween!
There lived a busy woman who had lice to kill, rashes to heal, and Christmas trees to decorate. She had a banner to paint, a house to clean, and music to learn. She also had a cell phone to fix, phone calls to make, and school conferences to attend. Obviously she can’t do them all at once, or be in all those places at the same time, so she called in for help. Until further notice, or Nov. 1st where she will post everyday for a month she can be found in the corner sucking her thumb and rocking back and forth.
The End.
Blog block. I have it sometimes. Not because I don’t have anything to write about. It’s mostly because I don’t want to bore my 3 readers to death. Whining, crying, and complaining, OH MY. I asked for this book by Margaret Mason for Chirstmas and it came early! I have thumbed through it and found some interesting ideas. Some were already floating around in my head this morning, but again, I’m professionally untrained at this, so it’s hard for me to form a good structure around my stories and make them make sense to the reader. I also want to be able to post something quick and fun without spending a hour editing and linking and then ultimately losing my post. All that to say, I signed up to do the NaBloPoMo over at Fussy.org. I am challenging myself to post everyday for the month of November. There’s going to be a random drawing for some prizes, but I am not so much interested in the prizes as I am honing my writing skills and coming up with cool things to post about.
Today is the perfect day to snuggle in your favorite jammies, watch a sappy movie on TV, or take a nap. Jammies: check. Snuggled: check. Watching sappy movie on TV: umm…no. Instead? SpongeBob. Feeling sleepy: check.
I think a nap is in order. See ya.
*edited*
I tried to take a nap. Then the phone rang, I played phone tag with several people and my daughter called to tell me that she forgot her lunch money and now didn’t have anything to eat. Oy. I had to get dressed, and go down there. Oh and also had to tell the Nurse that we found a live louse on our daughters head. Got it from her best friend who got it from another friend. That is one thing you and your best friend do NOT want to share. (shiver)
Now I am watching Jay Jay the Jet Plane. I do believe I am in hell.
Just like on Decorating Cents I changed some things around for no money. I used what I had laying around and re-created my blawg. I like it. I love to change around the furniture in the house like every 6 months so why not here? Although I only started this in Aug., I didn’t like some of the features of the first template I tweeked. I will make sure to bring back the sass tho, I really liked that and it was so me…:D
So….how have you been? Me? Well, I have been psuedo busy. I had a burst of synthetic energy (except I took the ULTRA kind) on Sunday. If you are like me and most women in america, you tend to bloat before that time of the month. No? Count your blessings then, cuz it stinks! I took some water pills to help me shed some unwanted poundage and although I knew it had caffeine in it, I didn’t think it would keep me awake as much as it did. I only took the equivalent of 4 cups of coffee in less than 4 hours, no big. Sort of. I didn’t fall asleep until 5:30 am, and that was after I read all my blogs, baked some blueberry muffins, caught up on like 10 shows on the DVR, and make a breakfast casserole for Sunday School. Then I got up at 8:30 to get said cassarole in the oven to bake, showered and dressed and out the door by 9:30am. Let’s put it this way…I lost 6 lbs. of water in 8 hours. Yes, even that was worth staying up for!
When we came home from church, I ate some lunch, and then got a wild hair about buying more spoons and a rake from Big Lots. I came home with and 85 peice set of utensils and a rake and 2 table clothes and some foam weather stripping for the front door. Only a 1.99! I replaced the stripping, swept the front porch, cleaned the door both inside and out (muddy dog paw marks), raked the yard and then came in and plopped on the couch. I thought I was done for. Finally tired and ready to rest. Nope. I got up and went to the church to redecorate the bulletin board and table for Fall. By the time I was done, it was dinner time and Home Fellowship night out. We met up at a burger place and had dinner and chatted. I was so tired and my back was hurting by then. I had been going for 12 hours straight with only 3 hours of sleep. Needless to say, I went to bed early (11pm is VERY early for me) and slept like a hibernating bear until 7:15am. I slept fairly well considering I keep tearing off my sleep mask every night and have no memory of undoing the straps, hanging it up on the bed post, and turning it off.
Wow, it’s late again and Jon is already in bed. I think I am finally tired enough to go there myself. See ya sooner-ish!
Need I say more?
