A case of the Mundays




After some delightful rangtang vodka saturday night, a roller coster of a conversation until 3 am and overly productive Saturday afternoon I made the executive decision that I would stay in bed all day yesterday. Of course getting up to get Diva lunch and snacks or change the channel to something she wanted to watch. Luckily with little begging she thought it would be fun to snuggle up with Mommy in her bed and watch one of the many tween shows on tv, precisely one hour into that fun we were both napping.

That was yesterday, and this is today. Should have returned to work but the evil weather/car/ruin your life gods had other plans. I just bought a "new to me" car in December as my last car was in the repair shop more than I am in the shoe store. (okay maybe I exaggerate) Sure enough today I go to start it and nothing. After lots of phone calls, father, work, dealer, repair dealer, AAA it is on its way to be diagnosed and ruin my life for the next week until I find something else to immediately be pissed about.

Is it wrong I now have the same plans as yesterday? Except I will probably do some laundry and maybe bake something with the Diva to keep her entertained. But as always I am counting down the hours until I can bribe her into a nap. Until then it's me, my cozy bed and trashy tv!

Giveaway: OhmiBod

I can't remember the last time I was THIS excited about a giveaway. It was one of those drop everything and start entering moments. When I first heard about this product I laughed, but then when I thought about it it could be the most useful, fun and satisfying thing you own in that secret little drawer/box/closet (depending on how fun you are!).

As my girl J says "Listening to music has never felt so good". Tell 'em girl! While it pulsates to music it also pulsates to general sounds in the room (god where was this during those boring lectures in college, haha?) So you should all pop over to BB & B to win your very on OhMiBod. You have until 12/11 to enter. If you cannot wait another minute visit the OhMiBod website to get your own!

For the record, at one point I may have made a bet about the top 10 songs to play with your OhMiBod, based on title. I am ashamed to say I lost to much more creative boyfriend. So to get over that tragic fact, I am determined to WIN!

Saturday Six

BWS tips button

From my girl J at BB&B!


So for Saturday Six...tell us how you get down in the bedroom. (All about your sleep style sickos! Get your mind out of the gutter!)

  • How many hours per night/day do you sleep? 6-7 and usually a couple nights 9 (when I go to bed super early)
  • Night owl or morning person? Night owl, but morning's aren't hateful as long as I have coffee.
  • What do you wear to bed? usually a tank or tshirt
  • Sleep crutches? (Sleep with a radio, fan, t.v. on? Have to have something particular in order to doze?) fan on!
  • Do you remember your dreams when you wake up? almost always and they are usually pretty whacked out.
  • Any strange stories about sleepwalking/talking or anything of that nature? My Grandma used to tell me when I was younger that I would sit up straight in bed or my legs would be up in the air. But maybe that was her dementia setting in.

Fawk you Friday

BWS tips button

Hosted by my girl J at BB&B and I'm Just Sayin'. Wow oh wow what should I rant about today.

My Fawk You's for the week:

Everyone dipping out early today at work, how am I supposed to be entertained with out my work partners in crime?

Those Pioneer Woman Cinnamon rolls I made on Wednesday, and all the fat that went straight to my ass.

This pay period lasting forever, because of that I had to pay 3 weeks of childcare out of the last check versus 2, which is less shoe money for mama!

Little Diva for being sick Tuesday, she fed my giveaway addiction and now I have cut off nearly all communication after her bedtime so I can get my tweets in!

Saturday Six

BWS tips button

I'll give it a whirl...first time for everything right??

  1. You get a million dollars, what's the first thing you buy? A Master's Degree, call me crazy but even if I won a trillion dollars I want to further my education. I cannot tell you what I would go back for either Counterterrorism or Web design.
  2. What do you consider to be the best things about yourself? (Your best qualities, what you like about yourself etc.) I'm going to go with my girl Jana on this one, the ability to fit in with multiple groups of people. I'm a chameleon when it comes to social situations, you can take me to a classy dinner with your work peeps and an hour later I can be drinking beers on your back porch.
  3. What do you consider to be your weaknesses? Confrontation, I will let shit "go or slide" for a long time until it gets unbearable and then snap at you for the stupidest thing because of all the previous drama. There is ONLY one person I am not like this with, and whatever the issue is it comes out immediately...but that is a WHOLE other can of worms.
  4. Have you ever made a scene in public? Elaborate! Hmmm, I used to be quite the party girl but I am pretty good at keeping it dramafree. But when wine is involved it's a whole other story. One time at a hotel I went off on a bunch of people in the hallway while only wearing a tank top and thong, Jerry Springer style. The next morning we all had to get on a 7 hour bus trip back home...but I think everyone was over my BS as some other kid puked in the sink, lol.
  5. Any annoying quirks you possess? I get SOOO annoyed when windshield wipers are not the correct speed for the rain, it drives me up the freakin wall.
  6. Are you more aggressive or passive in your personality? I would say passive but I tend to play the passive aggressive card with snarky comments all the time.

Giveaway: Saucy Mama surprise pack

Let's face it we all can't be Betty Crocker every night of the week and whip up a homemade masterpiece. The easy way out is tv dinner's. But the more delicious easy way out is marinades and pre made sauces!
