Just because I am a woman doesn't mean I am Martha Stewart

Seriously! Personally I would like to kick Martha Stewart's ass for being herself. For making people think that we should all be like her.
Hold down a job. Make our own wrapping paper. Cook like a dream. Have a perfect house.
Hello!!!! I am a real girl not a machine.
I don't have servants. I don't have the money she has. I AM NOT PERFECT.
I don't want to do this like my newest woman's day magazine wants me to.....

First off I hate candy corns. Secondly who the hell has time to glue all those nasty things into a wreath.
And the things they want me to make for fall. Come on! Seriously WTF

That looks fun to make right? Sure, let me run out and buy myself a pumpkin. NOT
My table will never look like this.

And because it will never look like that in some peoples eyes I will have failed at being a woman.
My food will never look like this.

or this

But you know what? It may not be pretty but it is going to taste damn good.
My house will never look like this....


But it is a home. A home where you aren't scared to put your feet up or set a glass down or hell even walk across the carpet.
This doesn't mean I have failed as a woman. It doesn't mean I am not perfect as I am. (far from perfect but that is a whole other post lol)
I am not Martha Stewart. I will never be Martha Stewart. My magazines will not turn me into her either. I am a woman who is unique, quirky and a little off. So I can't grab some leaves and a pumpkin and whip out a centerpiece. I don't want to. I would rather read a good horror novel!

Random Ramblings

I didn't feel like doing a whole blog post on one subject since several things are running around in my head so here are some random ramblings lol.

First off I know I have posted that my animals are driving me crazy but my cat Yeti (white long fur, too many toes)is turning me into a damn basket case. She follows me.
EVERYWHERE
It is making me insane. If I go into the bathroom but don't shut the door all the way (What? I am home alone lol) she will push the door open and walk on in like she owns it.
If I go into my kitchen she will rub my legs while meowing her brains out.
If I go into the computer room she will jump up and lay across my arms. Do you have any idea how hard it is to type when something is laying on your arms? I have actually taken to putting my entire upper body over the desk space and saying no. She just walks across the keyboard then. ARGHHHHHHHH
If I go in the garage she bolts in there.
If I lay down to watch tv she walks across me. Not around me but across me even going so far as to walk across my face sometimes if I am not fast enough to push her off.
I ... crap here she is on my arms UGH
Today I actually shut the bathroom door with myself inside so she couldn't get to me. And no I didn't need to use the bathroom.
YETI QUIT SNIFFING MY NOSE..... I can't see the damn monitor. OMG THIS CAT.
Deep breath.


I am a complete and utter bitch. No really I must be. See remember how I went to coffee the other day? I really did enjoy it. She was nice and friendly and I need more then one friend right? However... she is making me nutso too.
Ever since we have gone to coffee she has instant messaged me on facebook. Over and over and over again every day. She lets me know she had a coffee that day. Or tells me she talked to someone. Or mentions anything that is on her mind.
I hate instant messaging. HATE IT.
I don't mind it once in a blue moon if it is important but what you cooked for dinner is not important.
And (here is where I really sound like a bitch) the whole "girl" thing is making me crazy.
How to explain this... When she talks to me it goes like this....
"Girl, I totally made chicken for dinner tonight"
"I lost my harvest on farmtown today and Girl I was pissed"
"I went to coffee today. Girl it was so good."
UGH
I like her. Really I do but the whole instant messaging and girl thing is making me want to hide. It is horrible.


My friend Sazy and I are going to meet up with another woman and her husband on the 11th. Sazy and I met on a lost board believe it or not. We talked for quite a while before realizing we lived super close to each other. We met and have been best friends ever since. Boonie is another friend from the lost board and she lives in Tennessee. She is coming down here for her anniversary and is going to meet up with us. I am pretty excited about it actually.
Hopefully the nose thing I have going on will be gone by then.
We have all talked for going on almost 6 years now.


This time thing change seems to have been good for me. Since it happened I have been up at 8 and normally showered by 10. Woo hoo me!!! Much better then sleeping in until 9 and showering maybe.


Dear job hunt. YOU SUCK!!! Yesterday I applied for 3 jobs. The day before that I applied for 6 jobs. In fact I am applying willy nilly now. Receptionist.. money is ok I guess... apply. Office manager... apply.... Credit union job.. apply.
Apply apply apply.
Have I heard anything? Not a damn thing. NADA.
In fact where before I used to run to the answering machine to see if I missed a call if I left the house, I don't bother anymore. Why? Because no one is going to call me.
So yes I have reached that point where I no longer believe I am going to get a job.
In fact the honey has told me that I shouldn't expect to be hired until after the new year anyway.
Doesn't stop me from applying though. But now I am kind of laughing at all the applying I am doing.
I should go apply for a doctor position LMAO!!! No, I haven't gone that far yet. I am applying for jobs I am qualified for but being picky has gone out the window.

OMG I am totally addicted to the games on facebook.
Farmville I am on level 23 and love my farm. I love the new kitties.
Cafeworld I am getting a little bored with. I have over a 100 thousand dollars and I have all ready decorated my cafe.
Rollercoaster... same thing. built my park and am a little bored now.
Happy Aquarium is so freaking cute. I really enjoy training the fish.
Mafia wars is kind of boring
Pirates is ok but sort of boring too.
Farm town I can't handle the way you have to harvest and plant. So I just keep animals lol.
Fish world is ok
Island Paradise is really cute and kind of fun.
Fish life has some cute missions but I get a little bored and I hate cleaning the tanks
Lil farm I haven't really gotten into but it has cute graphics. I keep killing farms.
Treasure mania is kind of fun. I like that it has games within the games
Farkle is one of the newest things I have been playing. It is a dice game and pretty fun and frustrating.
I tried Robin hood and was bored.
Fairyland is the newest game I am playing. So far so cute.


AND YES I NEED A JOB LMAO!!!

All about me.... sort of

Ok. So I have no real news on either Uncle. Except that Uncle Bill seems to be going through congestive heart failure. Joy.

But I wanted to tell you about me so you all (ok one of you LMAO) don’t run away as fast as possible.

I am a 41 year old woman who has never married or had children. Although I have been dating the same man for the last 19 years. YES, I know! Anywhoooo…..We have furry kids. Two huge monster dogs and four cats. Well, 3 ½ cats. Mootch is a stray I am trying very hard to tame. We feed him but don’t get to touch him. Hmmm sounds like… never mind LMAO!

The BF is currently out of work. Hell he has been out of work since November. Talk about a bummer. But there is nothing out there for him. It really puts a strain on things. Hopefully soon though. Maybe after our vacation.

I am currently 4 weeks away from my first vacation in 9 years. We are going on a cruise to Alaska. YEE FREAKING HAW!! We have had this planned for the last year so it being this close is so exciting I am ready to pee my pants. I still need things though. I need to buy a coat and shoes and a camera. Oh and I need to buy pants.

We purchased this before the loss of the job. His company just flat out closed the doors on the employees. No final paycheck. No vacation pay. No Cobra. Nothing.

I am a tv junkie. Lost is my true love. I am very sad it is ending next year. I also love a few other shows.

American Idol (Adam should have won), Bones, Deadliest Catch, Survivor, Ghost Hunters, Iron Chef America, So you think you can Dance, Big Brother. There are a lot more. *blushes.

The other thing I am is a reader. I am a bookaholic. I need books like other people need air. I at all times have 2 books on me. The second one is in case I finish the first. I do not want to be stuck reading the gum package or my car manual or anything goofy like that. And trust me I have.

My first love of reading is horror closely followed by paranormal romance. I cannot do true crime or real life stories. I am reading to get away from it all not learn. If I want to learn I will watch the Discovery channel or do research on the internet.

So there my boring self is.

Hey there

I have been throwing around the idea of writing a blog for a while now. The problem is I am computer stupid. Oh I can turn it on and navigate around different sites but setting up a webpage is a little more difficult.

In my head I see a fancy blog with pictures and fun graphics. In reality though I put the header you now see up and that is the extent of what I have been able to figure out. So the look may or may not change depending on how frustrated I feel like getting that day lol.

Why have I thought about a blog? Because there are things I see or read where I think “man I need to bitch about that” or “man someone else besides me needs to worry” or “Am I worrying about nothing” or “man, am I bored so I am going to gab my brains out to random strangers.”

An example: This morning I get up to get ready for work. I sit in front of the computer putting my make up on and pull up Yahoo news. See I like to know if anyone blew anyone up or any kind of major weird thing happened while I slept.
I have no idea why but that is just what I do in the morning.

Front page news stories… North Korea threatens to harm US if attacked and Obama: US ready for any threat from North Korea

So there I am reading these articles. Have you followed any of this? And I am thinking what the hell is wrong with North Korea?

We are like two bullies who are poking each other with pointy sticks.

I would like to talk to the leader of North Korea and say.. “Hey dude, you know if you just turn your missile around a mile away from Hawaii, where no one is, no one would be bothering you”

But it is like they stopped thinking reality. The US and North Korea. Sure the leaders may “prove who has a bigger dick and a better military” but random people like me and you are the ones that are going to pay.

It is just plain stupid UGH.

Oops, got negative and cussed in my first post! Get used to it I guess. I never have been one to hold my tongue.

Hope you stick around! (that is if anyone ever accidently happens across this blog *snort)
