Crazy Blog Drama

If you haven’t heard the latest….

There was once a lady with a blog.
Her name was Christine and she hated her husband.
I mean… she hated him.
Her blog was all about why she could not stand the idiot…. And really… he was an idiot.
The blog was very very popular.
She ended up meeting some random man-commenter from her blog…. and she CHEATED on the husband that she hates.
Some people praised her… others hated her.
Then, one day, it happened. Her blog went buh-bye.
Now, when you go to her former blog you see a psycho blog that is devoted to Jesus Christ and porn. WHAT THE?!!!?

I caution all that click on this link. This guy is crazy. There are no actual porn photos on this blog… but the links to the nastiness are all over the place…. so be a pal and don’t click on any of them… cuz…… EWWWW!

Now there are conspiracy theories all around.
Some think the crazy new blog man is Christine’s husband and that he’s done something to her….
Others, myself included, think that Christine deleted her blog cuz she didn’t want the world commenting on her infidelity. And then, when her blog address was available again for use, some crazy-crazy-icky-sicky-man took her blog address and made it his own so that he could leach off of cheating Christine’s popularity.

I think it is absolutely HILARIOUS that such blog drama exists. Don’t you?

By Royal Decree:

I’m a Queen and now I get to do what I want. Whenever I want.

You thought I was opinionated before?!!
HA!

Thanks to Queen Ellen for the very first cartoon of my mug! You are so great!

Way More Than You Need To Know

I stole this from my friends at B!tch on the Street because it looked like fun.
And guess what? It was.

To play, just cut & paste the list to your blog, and bold any of the ones that are true.

  • smoked a cigarette
  • crashed a friend’s car
  • stolen a car
  • been in love
  • been dumped
  • shoplifted- I’ll spare you the stupid details
  • been fired
  • been in a fist fight
  • snuck out of your parent’s house
  • had feelings for someone who didn’t have them back
  • been arrested- Does getting busted for curfew count?
  • gone on a blind date- My first date with Ty was a pseudo blind date I think. I’d only seen him once, he called me (I sorta remembered what he looked like) and we went out. I think that counts as a blind date.
  • lied to a friend- I can’t think of specifics, but I am sure it has happened.
  • skipped school- In biology in my senior year in high school I had about 30 absences. The teacher tried to get me kicked out of his class… but unfortunately for him I was getting an ‘A’. All that situation did for him was to show the dean of the school, a, one Mr. Dudley Butts (yes. that is his real name.) that his biology class sucked big time and it was nowhere close to being hard.
  • seen someone die
  • had a crush on one of your internet friends- YUCK!
  • been to Canada
  • been to Mexico- Puerto Penasco (if you are from the Phoenix area you know about this beach shack town.)
  • been on a plane- Is there any other way to travel distances greater than 200 miles?
  • purposely set a part of yourself on fire
  • eaten sushi- Just the name alone revolts.
  • been jet-skiing- When you live in the desert (ie: Arizona) you have to find ways to stay cool.
  • met someone in person from the internet- Scares me a little
  • been moshing at a concert- No. I am the one in the back watching all the other people do it while wondering, “Why is this cool again?”
  • taken pain killers- I’ve had two kids. Of course pain killers have been part of my life! (To some I may be considered a wimp. To others I may be considered wise. It’s your call.)
  • loved and missed someone- I’m married aren’t I?
  • made a snow angel- Not a huge fan of snow.
  • had a tea party- What? Like a real life one… the kind they have in England? No. I don’t even think I’ve had the fake kind.
  • flown a kite- One of the best feelings out there.
  • built a sand castle- Did most of my growing up in and around the Southern California beach cities… so yes.
  • gone puddle jumping- One of my favorite things to do with my two year old.
  • played dress up - I’m the little one in the picture.
  • jumped in a pile of leaves- One of the best things about fall.
  • gone sledding- I think like once or twice and both time I froze my butt off.
  • cheated while playing a game- I’m too competitive for my own good… but I don’t cheat.
  • been lonely- I was single at one point.
  • fallen asleep at work or school- Oh my gosh. I would say like 78% of my high school days were spent falling asleep with my head on my desk and then having that falling dream and jerking myself awake! (and entertaining others in the process.)(aren’t falling dreams fun?)
  • used a fake id- No. I think I missed the boat on this one. I was a boring teen.
  • watched a sun set- The Hawaiian sunsets are the best.
  • felt an earthquake- Again. I grew up in So. Cal. I’m not positive how many I slept through… but I think the number is like 3.
  • touched a snake- Unfortunately. This was a one time deal and will never ever be repeated.
  • slept beneath the stars- Yes. I really like camping.
  • been robbed- My CD player got stolen out of my car when I was like 19 and it was the worst feeling. I hated that car after that.
  • been misunderstood- Every. Day. Of. My. Life. I am pretty sure that when I talk, my kids hear what the “Peanut Gang” hears: Blahblahblahblahblah.
  • petted a reindeer/goat
  • won a contest- I don’t win stuff. It appears that that would be a crime against nature if that happened.
  • run a red light/stop sign- A few times… but it was never intentional.
  • been suspended from school- No. Just detention after detention
  • been in a car accident
  • eaten a whole pint of ice cream in one night- I’ve never had that desire.
  • had deja vu- One of the best feelings ever!
  • danced in the moonlight
  • liked the way you looked at least at one point in time- My wedding comes to mind…
  • witnessed a crime- Yeah. If watching my friends shoplift counts.
  • been obsessed with post-it notes - I don’t get this one.
  • squished barefoot through the mud- good times.
  • been lost- Umm… weren’t we all lost in the grocery store with Mom nowhere in sight at one point?
  • been on the opposite side of the country- My bro-in-law lives in Manhattan and I consider that opposite from California. So. Yes.
  • swam in the ocean- Body surf anyone?
  • cried yourself to sleep- Well… yes. Not that you really need to know that, but yes. Too many times.
  • played cops and robbers- I have a little brother.
  • recently colored with crayons- I would color on my own anyway… but I do have an almost three year old that loves to color.
  • sung karaoke- I believe the song was “Hurt So Good” by John Cougar Mellencamp. Nice.
  • paid for a meal with only coins- Taco Bell baby. Run for that border with all the change you can find. You will be guaranteed at least a taco for your efforts.
  • done something you told yourself you wouldn’t- Every morning. I tell myself that I will be in a good mood. Never happens.
  • made prank phone calls- Ah yes. The days before caller ID were great, weren’t they?
  • laughed until some kinda beverage came out of your nose- Stung like a b**ch.
  • caught a snow flake on your tongue - I think I did this once… and it wasn’t magical at all.
  • written a letter to Santa Claus- Yeah. And I got it all.
  • been kissed under the mistletoe by your boy/girlfriend- What? People really do this? I guess I am going to the wrong holiday parties.
  • watched the sun rise with someone you care about- I’m not up that early.
  • blown bubbles- One of the more fun things to do with my babies.
  • made a bonfire on the beach- Very fun
  • laughed so hard you pee your pants- Embarrassing… but yes. I happen to have some darn funny friends!
  • cheated on a test- Economics. Need I say more?
  • been kissed by someone you didn’t like: We were all in junior high at one point. And we all had to go to those lame-ass parties where they played spin the bottle, or seven minutes in heaven.
  • gone skinny dipping in a pool- No. I’m not that secure.

    Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Come Back

    The rant continues.

    Please check the image to the left. I know there are people out there that are all gung-ho about the “at-home-birth.” And you know… good for them. (I’m very excited about epidurals that actually work! — And… Good for me!)

    But if you are going to wear a T-Shirt about your cause, please wear one that actually makes sense.

    This shirt is just plain stupid.
    Umm… ever hear of the “infant mortality rate?”

    “The infant mortality rate, the rate at which babies less than one year of age die, has continued to steadily decline over the past several decades, from 26.0 per 1,000 live births in 1960 to 6.9 per 1,000 live births in 2000.”

    In response to the stupid T-Shirt:
    If natural evolution is so right, how do you explain the current infant mortality rate? Is it all those mid-wives and doulas out there that are saving all the high risk births? Or are those people in hospitals?
    (As a side note: That is a seriously creepy graphic. The only way I could ever see anyone wearing this shirt out and about is if they paired it with some stretch pants!)

    I’m An Artist


    This is what I do when I am waiting for Simon during his appointments.

    You would think I would want to do something productive… but I don’t.

    I just want to sit in my car, let Helene sleep, and doodle away like I am still 16 years old.

    What’s wrong with that?

    This Is Me.


    Queen Ellen asked, “Do you have a photo that best represents you?”

    Why, yes Ellen, I do.

    I was probably 4 years old in this picture… but to this day, mornings are exactly the same.

    Very difficult!

    This was a fun post for me.

    I hope to see your pics!
