I just recently returned from a weekend away in Vegas. Mainly the reason why I have been so MIA on here all week. For some reason I can’t seem to get back into the groove of things. Could it have been all the alcohol consumption? Possibly. Could it have been all the exerted energy playing slots and blackjack? Maybe. Could it have been the hot, Nevada sun? Sure, why not. I’ll never tell though, after all, what happens in Vegas stays there. But I will tell you this, while there I learned a few things that just have never…
The Best Feeling In The World
0Have you ever been away for the weekend, slept in a a different bed for 2 days, tossing and turning? Have you ever been away for the weekend and your suit case was perfectly packed when you left but then as the weekend continued on it turned into one big wrinkled and mangled mess? Or how about lounging on someone else couch for an entire weekend and not getting as comfortable like you do on your own soft and cozy couch? Well, the absolute BEST feeling in the world is coming home from an entire weekend away to a…
Must…Consume….Sugar!!
0My sugar sabbatical for 40 days is slowly coming to an end. I can’t even tell you how slowly slowly is going. I’m dying! My will power is getting the best of me. The cravings are getting worse and worse. BLEH!! I try to keep my mind off the sugar, I consume fruit to suppress the unbearable cravings. But then I look in my pantry and all I want to do is eat a fucking piece of candy!!!!!! I’ve lasted through birthday parties with tons of cookies, rice krispies treats, Twizzlers, cake pops and mounds of chocolate. I’ve lasted…
WTF Nickelodeon
0If my daughter is in one of her “moods” (like she is at this very moment) and I’ve tried EVERYTHING to talk her down from the bratty ledge that shes on, there is usually only one thing that will ultimately work – “The Bubble Guppies”. If you are not familiar with these little guppies, its a show on Nickelodeon or Nick Jr (I’m still trying to figure out all these channels) and it has saved my sanity on many of occasions. It follows the adventures of 6 little merbabies/guppies – not entirely sure what they are but she absolutely LOVES…
Valentine’s Day, Schmalentine’s Day…
0Every year for the past, ohhh 6 years, my husband and I celebrated Valentine’s Day. Home cooked romantic meals, fancy nights out at expensive restaurants and sweet gifts. Last week after putting Baby A down for bed, my husband turned to me as we were both laying comatose on the couch after a long ass day and asked if we were gonna do anything on Valentine’s Day this year. My answer was less than coherent, I think it was “mehh do we have to?” To which he responded as “Good. I am really not in the mood to plan anything.”…
Chicken Paranoia
0Thanks to numerous spells of food poisoning, I have become extremely paranoid when eating and cooking chicken. It has become so bad that I have avoided favorite restaurant spots and cooking certain recipes because they remind me of the horribleness that I once endured. Sometimes I think my eyes do tricks on me and I see pink when I cut into a nice, juicy piece of chicken. It may be cooked perfectly, but my freakish mind immediately thinks the worst and I push it away. To be frank, it SUCKS! I have to live in such fear that every piece…
The Analyzation of Mindless Television
0Since being stuck indoors for the past 7 days with a sick baby, I’ve been watching a lot of TV. So from the lack of sleep in conjunction with the hours of mindless television, my brain is mush. But clearly there were some active brain cells still up in there last night when I was watching a re-run of “How I Met Your Mother”. It was the very first episode, surprisingly, one I have never seen. If anyone knows me they know I’m not one of those people that watch every show on every channel religiously. I have my favorites…
Screw This Cold Spell
0South Florida, my tropical residence of 15 years, is going through its yearly cold spell and everyone is going out of their mind. For northerners out there, a cold spell down here can compare to a nice spring day by you. Anything below 70 degrees usually sends everyone into a state of panic. Anything lower than that, like this past week, snow gear is broken out just to get to the store. You think I’m exaggerating. Yesterday I wore my UGGs. (Yes, I own a pair of UGGs. Don’t laugh.) I saw people with winter marshmallow man coats on, running…
Bah Humbug
0I ventured out to the stores finally to get some Christmas shopping done and all Ihave to say is bitches be crazy!!! Seriously, I must have encountered every douche bag on the face of the earth. For every 1 nice person I ran into, 5 aholes were right there behind them. I thought this was the “joyous” time of year when everyone is supposed to happy and spread good cheer and crap like that? I was sorely mistaken. Apparently it’s the time of year to be a an obnoxious d-bag and an ungrateful jerk. I promise you, I am not…
Work Schmerk
0Since I was 14 I had a job. Even before that I would babysit or be a “mom’s helper” to earn some cash. So I guess you can say I have been steadily working for more than 17 years. I was a hostess and waitress through out high school and college and once I graduated became a regular in the game that is corporate America. I knew once I had a baby, I would do anything I could to stay at home and raise my kids. Some look at it is old fashion or out right crazy. My mom was…
