The Lost...Trash Bag?
But I want to complain about something (boo!). Not that I'm really super annoyed or whatever, more than anything I'm confused...
Somebody keeps putting their trash in my trash can.
I KNOW!
I don't get it. I just really don't get why you would take the trash bag out of your house and walk outside, see your trash can sitting there and then walk over to my trash can and put your crap inside. I just don't get why someone would need to do that, because if its one of my neighbors their trash can isn't full. Maybe I would get it if the can was like overflowing, but its not. And if they're not one of my neighbors, who the crap is walking around with a garbage bag just looking for a place to throw it away and keeps picking my can?! More than anything, I'm worried there's like something illegal they're putting in there (you have no idea what kind of neighbors I have. But in a nutshell: bad.), or that they're going through my can and finding things I haven't properly shredded. I don't know, I'm just so confused.
Whats better is that I'm constantly going out there and putting my son's stinky diapers in there, so I hope they get a big whiff every time they dump their garbage in there.
I know, I'm evil. Or immature. Whatever.
p.s. I started reading "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. I had to stop reading it about 3/4 of the way through. Its much more evil than I am. Like horribly so. Maybe I'm really sensitive but when the main "villain" started trapping animals to sacrifice their blood so he could get a high off it, I thought "hmmmm, this is really satanic." Other reasons too, but that was enough to turn me off to it. Sad, it was just coming together.
p.s.s Do you think after reading that, I should start reading "Hunger Games"? Because thats what I got the other day and now I'm sort of scared to read it.
p.p.s I found my husband's little pellet handgun thing, and now its by my bed so I can REALLY hurt anyone that tries to come in and bludgeon me to death. I feel so much safer.

Arrrr Me Mateys!
A pirate walks into a bar. The bartender notices the pirate has placed his steering wheel in his pants, and mentions it to the pirate. The pirate responds with:
"Arrrrr...it's driving me nuts!"
Tee hee!
Whats your favorite joke?

Pearly Whites
But I'm totally redeeming myself because I've done it five times in a row now!! And ya know what? I can see my teeth getting whiter!! WOOT! And ya know what else?! Its not that bad anymore! I learned how to not swallow or move my tongue or do anything so I don't have to taste the nasty whitening taste! Its perfecto!
I think the part my kids like the most is that I can't talk for an hour everyday. I basically just motion at them and mmmmmm really angrily. They laugh their heads off. And my son just follows me around mimicking my mumbling.
The only bad thing was that one time when I had to sneeze. That was painful.

Life's Questions
Why are there never any lids to the sippy cups?
What is up with daylight savings?
Why can I have seven pacifiers but when the baby cries, I can't find a single one?!
Why does my husband load up the dishwasher but then never starts it?
Why aren't all the boogers in your nose the same, sometimes they're hard, sometimes there's a lot, why?!
Why is there a cricket in my bathroom?
Why am I so impatient?
Do they make cartoons for kids or adults, because there's some content that I know kids don't get?
Why is blogging so fun? And then sometimes its not?
Why do I love clothes and shoes so much?
Ewww, what did I just step in?
Why won't my kids let me sleep past 8:00 am?
How come the stuff you liked as a kid isn't that great anymore? (especially bologna? patooey!)
How does it make any sense to base your self worth on what other people think, when they're questioning their own self worth?
What is my obsession with having twins?
Why do we care so much what other people think of us, and will sacrifice most anything to impress them?
Why can't we learn if we don't have the money for it, we just shouldn't buy it?
Why do we think only about whats happening right now, instead of the big picture?
Why are men such babies when it comes to pain? But they think they're so tough about everything?
How can your friends straight up lie to your face over something stupid?
Why is it when I'm reading a story about a hero and how they acted so brave, I think "I could be like that!" but then when I'm faced with something instead of being brave, I panic? (In other words, why can't I be the person in my head?)
Why isn't life easier the older you get, instead of harder?
Why in the world were mosquito's ever made?
Why is it so hard to forgive people?
What makes you keep reading this?
Oh, I could go on and on...

Click On It
So in my compassion I'm sharing with you some of my very favoritist blogs! WHOOO PARTAY!!!
I'll get right to it then:
I can't help it, I think this blog is hilarious--I mean absolutely roll on the floor hysterical! It's called Smoke and Dream, and I apologize for the swearing, but there I warned you right then, so if you don't like swearing then don't click, but its HILARIOUS!
Another blog I really enjoy every time she posts is Regarding Annie. I don't know how she does it, but she's deep and funny and engaging and awesome all at the same time! (Kind of reminds me of someone...ME...haha Yeah right.)
Gauranteed laugh for me is The Comics Curmudgeon, I FREAKING LOVE his site!! But I've read the comics since I can't tell you when, so if you're not familiar with the Sunday funnies, this site probably isn't that funny to you. Otherwise, LAUGH AWAY! Oh the wittiness...
Nurturing Narcissism is the first blog I ventured to outside of my friends and family, my sister-in-law is a friend of hers and I clicked on it because I thought she had an interesting name. What I found was an insanely clever, beautiful "girlie-woman" (as she says) and I'm totally infatuated with her! I so want to be her friend, she is so dang cool!
And this list would never be complete without Seriously Shellie, who is not only my blog twin, but we get to hopefully meet eachother in the next week or four!!! I am SO EXCITED because I just know we'll be besties forever! Shellie without fail makes me laugh, unless she posts about cancer, and then I bawl like a baby, she is so amazing and I love her guts!
Okay people go at it with the clicking! Oh, and tell me what you're favorite blogs are, ya know, besides MINE! tee hee :)
(post edit: I limited this list to five blogs, because look at my sidebar over there, I obviously love a LOT of blogs! So don't feel bad if I didn't mention you, I will next time! PROMISE!)

TP-ing
"Where'd all the toilet paper go?!"
I swear my kids must just stick the end in the water and flush it all down because we go through TP like you wouldn't believe!
It wouldn't be as bad if we stored the toilet paper in a place you could reach while sitting on the toilet but we don't. And lets face it, I'm rushing in there at the last second and don't spot the toilet paper until its too late, if ya know what I'm sayin.
I guess the smart thing to do would be to move the toilet paper. Or make my kids go outside. Or make a one square rule for them. Whatever.
What do your kids do that drive you crazy?

Sweet Sassafrass Sunday
I've been wanting for forever to do something with my lamp shades. I kept looking for material and like Wal-Mart and...well, yeah, just Wal-Mart, and not finding anything I really liked. So I went to Deseret Book, where they have TONS of really cute (and expensive) fabric. Don't worry, I got mine for freeEEEEEeeee! It's a long story (actually its not, I just don't feel like elaborating).
So anyway, this is what my lamps looked like before I totally made them awesome:

Super plain huh? Nothing special atleast.
For reasons I don't wish to share (our house is old and nothing works), we have four lamps in our living room. The littlest one, turned into this:

Oh MY GAWSH! I absolutely adore it! And YES, I made it all by myself! Sewing and everything, you didn't know I was so crafty!
The second one I did turned out like this'm:

I ADORE damask. ADORE it.
I still have two more to do, and this is the material I'm going to use:

I also ADORE toile. ADORE!
And one more shot of the cutest little lamp ever!:

Those pom-poms...that pattern...could it get much cuter?!
Okay, I'm really tooting my own horn here, it's just I was in such a rut and that's perked me up so much! So, what home decorating projects do you want to get done?

Cleaning Shpleaning
Oh, who am I kidding? My "obligations" are the equivalent of a ten-year old's chores!
I am a maid.
If I didn't have children, I don't think I'd mind the cleaning so much, but for the love of all that is holy, I cannot keep my house clean for two minutes. They follow me around in their tasmanian devil spin (emphasis on devil), reaking havoc all the way.
So here for your pleasure, is a list of my top five (top? maybe bottom would be better...) most useless, stupid, redundant, mind numbing chores in my opinion:
#5- Clipping the chicken's talons. I can't say it isn't lively, but you know they do have large talons.
#4- Lighting the candles at night. It gets dark, I know. But still, the monotony of it all.
#3- Braiding the horse's hair. Okay, I'm a hair girl myself, I learned to braid when I was quite little, but you have no idea how horrible the horse's are at staying still! The want to trot and giddy or whatever it is they do must be very strong.
#2- Official bottle warmer. It doesn't matter what I have going on, if the baby needs a bottle, I must warm it. The process being: either rubbing the bottle between my hands, or sitting on it. So drab.
#1- Patching toe holes. And it's ALWAYS the big toe! Well, sometimes it's the pinky...
Don't you hate those chores too?! I know, they're so degrading and stuff. Alright, alright, here's my real list (I know, I think I'm so funny! tee hee):
#5- Emptying the dishwasher. And I specifically mean the emptying part. I hate it because it means once its empty, it has to be loaded. I can't just stop at the emptying. It's like two chores rolled into one. Sucky.
#4- Folding laundry. Laundry in itself is a horrible, horrible thing. It's never ending! Atleast with cleaning the toilet, or mopping the floors, you're done with it until the next time it needs to be done. And even if thats the very next day, it's done when it's done. But laundry? NO. You get done with one load, there's another waiting to go. But the laundry itself isn't so bad, because as my mom says, you get to throw your clothes into the magic box and they come out clean. It's the folding part that takes so much time, and it's so doggone boring! Sure I could do it while watching my shows, but I don't have too many shows I watch, so what then?
#3- Taking out the garbage. Technically, this is my husband's job. But when the garbage is so full it's spilling out over the top all over the floor around it, I get the great pleasure of taking the trash out. I don't like it mostly because it's another thing I have to do, when my husband should do it.
#2- Making the bed. I mean, sure, I like having my bed made, but seriously who makes their bed?! You, I bet. Well, the only time I ever consistently make my bed is when I'm pregnant. Don't know why. I hate it because my morning's are frantic and limited, so to stop and make the bed is just not on my priority list and by the time I have a minute to do it, it's the middle of the afternoon and then, what's the point?
And the NUMBER ONE chore I think is the stupidest/most irritating?!
#1- Dusting. I loathe dusting. It's the one job I do that is completely useless. Maybe it's not as bad in other people's houses. But my house is over ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD. A hundred! So it gets pretty dusty. I try to dust, really I do, but all it does it move things around. I bought some Pledge junk the other day, hoping it would help. Nope, lots of dust the very next day. Stupid dust particles, you are the bain of my cleaning existence!! (lots of fist shaking here)
So, what part of cleaning do you think is the worst? It's the chicken talons isn't it?

Such a Love/Hate Relationship

What happens when you don't Comment.
I was firmly in denial thinking that somehow through space and time (I watched Lost again last night), it just hadn't gotten to anyone's computer, except for Wendy's. Or that there was a government take-over of my blog, sensitive information they didn't want leaked... but then... it hit me.
OOOoooohhhhhhh.... realization dawning.
No one wants the skinny chick to talk about food.
Right? Am I right? Its kind of a taboo thing, right? Well, how do you know that picture over there <------- isn't from like seven years ago? And photo shopped? Or even ME?! Does it really matter? Who cares! Skinny or fat, we all have to eat.
So, I thought I should let you know. Just in case. Some other taboo things I may or may not talk about at some point:
*government take-overs
*bathroom jokes
*your mom
*the macarena
*Dirty Dancing and how much I love it
*my mom
*hitting a kid with glasses (shockingly, not that hard to do)
*Twilight
*religious music
*boiling baby kittens
*Britney Spears
Okay, so now you know it. I'm controversial! You can either be apart of it, or fight the inevitable. You know you want to join in, loosen up and have a good time! So do it! :)
*If for some reason you just forgot to comment or didn't want to and none of this has anything to do with weight issues: I totally get it. In fact, I ASSUMED that. No hate mail okay? (why would I get hate mail? I don't know, now I've scared myself!) But we all know what 'assume' means, so I tried not to. And this is what you get, comment next time or it could get scary! hahahahahaha
p.s. I've promised myself that blogging is only going to be fun and I won't weigh (teehee) my self worth on how many comments I have or whatnot, so note the sarcasm. :) (meaning: I'm okay, I'm not upset, I still love you all!)

I Fought the Law and the Law WON
If you want to get rid of those pesky teeth (who obviously want to be rid of your pesky children), just feed them lots of CHOCOLATE and CANDY! Don't worry, I will compensate you with measly change and laundered money.
When I first met Miss Fairy, and she explained to me what she was doing, I was a little weary but remembered hearing something somewhere of what she was speaking of. So I left her to her work and went back to more important business, but then a little bit later I stumbled upon this gruesome scene: (which looks oddly like poop pellets now?)
It seems as though the Tooth Fairy has a sweet tooth herself!! Wait, no let me explain! I was getting this candy for YOUR kids, you know to help with the losing of the teeth... OH really?! Well then how do you explain THIS:
Not quite so innocent NOW are you FairyPLUMPkins!? I don't know who that is I've never seen her before...
Oh whatever Fairy Poppins, get out of my sight--you disgust me!! And take your little mermaid friend too! You better find a better scam to steal my chocolate than a stupid teeth pulling scheme! Can't get things past ME--not when it comes to treatsies!
And that was the day I came face to face with--not one, but two--criminals... AND I WON!
(Well, I guess I should clarify so new people coming around here won't think I'm a total nut job--not that they'd be totally wrong...
So my grandma sent these dolls to my girls and they were SO EXCITED to get them out of the box!!! They tore those boxes up until they needed my help with all the twist ties and crap. When I got them out I noticed they had hairnets on. It totally hit my funny bone, just cracked me up! I kept imagining reasons a doll would need a hairnet, so I took some pictures. And so this is what you get out of it! I'm not totally crazy, I just have a wild imagination, and too much time on my hands...) :)
