Don't you hate when you type to fast and the word "and" comes out "nad" all the time. Damn coffee buzz...
My new bloggy friend, Becky, over at My Crazy Beautiful Life, did a post Toasting Tuesday. A great idea because the Tuesday 10 was getting old. So here you go, today's assignment!
These are the reason's why I "Toast" to Tuesday!
So what do you have to toast to Tuesday? If you don't do it for Tuesday (Jen) then why not Toast to Thursdays? Thanks, Becky, this brought my mood up. Just remember... it's little things that makes the day better!
When my beloved Starbucks had it's final day, I spent the morning then the late afternoon there. Thus getting me some free stuff! 8 free cookies, a toffee, chocolate caramel bar case, and a bag of ground coffee.
Now I have never had Starbucks coffee. Not just the straight "coffee" I drink Mocha's. So I took it home, poured it into the old coffee pot (removing my store brand grounds first) not sure if it would be any good... let's just say it will be hard to finish the store brand and not only exclude myself to good coffee...
Ed on the other hand says it tastes like cigar water. Well.... more for me then!
Sorry to ruin your "Yipiee buzz" or the "Yahoo buzz" you had going this morning Mi. I know you were dead set on coloring all over your placemat (you can with dry erase markers) but I quickly took away your empty plate (previous host of your breakfast banana) and whisked you off to the front room for your morning dose of "The Sunny Side Up Show" on Sprout t.v.
She got over it faster then I thought, but the little voice "Yipiee" or "Yahoo" and some now and then "Woowees" are just enough to make me want to let her cover the walls in ink. But then I quickly come to my senses and realize that is a bad idea...
Anywho, I am off to enjoy my cigar water, and go blog surfing!

Blogger will be unavailable Thursday (9/25) at 4:00PM PDT for about 10 minutes for maintenance.
(found this in the dashboard)
(Sophie and I miss you...isn't that just the cutest little doggie?) More things that baffle me...
Why is the word "Internet" need to be capitalized when I spell check?
Why doesn't bloggers blog roll stay current? It seems to be getting stuck alot lately.
I am guessing that since I "joined" a church to have the kids Baptised we should probably attend mass, at least until the baptism is over? Or not.
Why do I get a plague of bugs every year? First, the spiders (shudder) then the rollie pollies (pill bugs) then the million legger wormy things (gah, shudder!!) now it's black crickets. Not even just a few. Each year it's something different, and its like a HUGE nest is born in the front of my house each fall... bizarre...
Why are they closing my Starbucks? Why? Why does Joliet get 2 and the one in the bookstore too?
Why don't political candidate take there 4 million dollars raised in Chicago alone for there campaign and do something good with it. Like build houses in Texas, New Orleans, clean up some of this mess. Keep our parks open? No. Instead lets have some bullshit commercials they paid out the ass for... I.don't.want.to.see.your.comercials. I know who I am voting for. It should be easy for everyone. O.bam.a. Either way you chose to vote, I don't see the point in them wasting money on commercials. Spend it on the country your promising to take care of. Tards.
Why I am SO mentally tired of having this ring of fat around my waist but I JUST can not, for the life of me attempt to try, even try, would be a good start. I have to say, I did attempt to get up early to work out, I set my alarm and all. But I just laughed and went back to bed... its a start right?
Good god not you readers. Me. I keep walking away from the computer to do stuff, but somehow I gravitate right back here...I just can't get away... the pull is to strong... must clean... must organize... just can't leave the blogosphere...gah!!
Well here's hoping I go away from my computer for the rest of the day! Good bye...I will miss you...
I SO have to share this post, this mom is to funny and very real. Go to Buried with Children and leave her a comment and let her know I sent you . And enjoy this post as much as I did. I had tears of laughter rolling down my face half way down the post!
Rub-A-Dub-Dub. One too Many Babies in the Tub.
I won this amazing t-shirt from my friends over at The Secrets in the Sauce blog site. I LOVE my t-shirt! Not only do I love to comment on blogs, but this SO fits me in real life. I comment all the time, you have something to say. I somehow manage to comment. Even if I don't know anything about the topic, I am interested. That is why, I am a "Comment Junkie"
If you could take more control of one aspect of your life, what would it be?
The housework. It drives me nuts. It's so hard trying to catch up. Once one room is cleaned up then the one I just cleaned seems to be a mess. I really wish we could catch up on the house, and just get into a good routine of picking up after ourselves.
If you were to name the difference between the male soul and the female soul, what would it be?
In one word? Emotion. Not saying that Men don't have emotion. But they seem to have a hard time showing it. Not saying that men should go around as emotional as us women, there is more then enough of us mood swinging freaks out there. But I think there would be less divorce and counseling if men would actually say what they are thinking, or feeling.
The few times I can pry Ed's feelings out of him, I love it. I love to know that most of the time we are on the same page, but since he doesn't say anything with out me prying. You just don't know.
I am one of those people that will pry and ask how he feels about a certain situation. Not all women do this. I might be rambling more then need be for this question.
But since I am huge on my emotions, I wish he would be too. I don't mind if you cry, shit, I do it all the time. It doesn't show weakness, to me it shows you have a heartbeat, and your not a badass wanna be. I want someone to show me he cares, and for gods sake talk to me about the things on your mind.
If men could express there emotions more, I think maybe women wouldn't be so emotional, trying to read men.
If you had to admit the most selfish thing you do on a regular basis, what would you say it is?
My dear friend Sara over at Maternal Mirth wants to know my views on this blogosphere that I have very comfortably moved into. You too can play along, it is very interesting questions. And I too like Sara have a tendency to control or overtake most conversations, even ones I'm not in (sorry!) I feel everyone should know what my opinion is, whether they want it or not.
Here's what inquiring minds want to know:
1) How did you start blogging?
I started blogging in February of 2007 when I read this by Maternal Mirth. Sara deiced to share with friends and family that she had a blog. I jumped on the bandwagon so fast, why didn't I think of this? AMAZING!
2) Were you always a writer or is blogging less about writing and more about YOU?
Ha ok first off Blogging is ALL about me. It is me. My friend Jayme inspired me to make it a legacy for my kids and grandkids to go back to. So they can learn all about Jacki and her bizarre ways. And yes I always love to write, kinda goes along with all the doodling I have always done. But I have always said that I can't write as fast as my brain thinks it out. So any journals I have kept have been hard to read because I would write SO damn fast. But in the blogging world. Give me a good cup of coffee, and my fingers GO WILD!!
3) What blogger really inspires you? Makes you laugh? Makes you cry?
I am not kissing butt in any means. But again Sara is my inspiration. From the "True Mom Confessions" to the "Secrets in the Sauce" girls (see Links you need to visit) Sara always have one up on great blogs to visit. Not to mention Sara's writing skills are mad crazy! The way she describes and tells a story. Well that is Sara in real life too. No wonder I am drawn to her like a moth to a flame. (ok, cheesy last line, but I do love to read your blog, and can we even count as high as the hours we have been on the phone?) So Sara makes me laugh too.
But enough about Sara and her fabulous blog. Jayme also inspires me to remember the everyday things to blog on. And I love that she shares her feelings on so much. Good or bad. I probably wouldn't have blogged so much about my pregnancy but Jayme shared it all. Good idea, someday when my kids are having kids, they too can read back on what I went through.
I am the blogger to make myself cry. Sounds conceited I know. But I am a very emotional person and I don't hold back on my blogs, even though EVERYONE reads it.
I have to say I wish that Jen would open up more on her blog. I know there has to be a TON of emotions and thoughts going through her head, constantly. She does blog from time to time. But I have found it an amazing release from the real world. Maybe she's worried what people will think or say? Bah who cares? As I said in the beginning. "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and everyone thinks everyone elses stinks" so be it, but I have a right to my blog and I love being able to get it out!
4) Can you ever see yourself giving up your blog?
Nope. Not even a question. Where would I go everyday to empty out my head? I mean Ed can only take in so much. Mia is dishing it out faster they I am, and Weaky Man, well he listens best he can between eating, sleeping, pooping and cooing. Even after Blogger just had the Spam Friday issue (see your blogger Dashboard news) I am worried that all could be lost one day. But now they have blogger in draft, and I want to look into that. Maybe I can print our a hard copy... that would be ALOT of paper...
5) What is (in your mind) your BEST post? (Be sure to copy and paste the URL)
This was tough. I mean I post about 50 to 70 times a month! So I skimmed through ALL of my blogs, and came up with two that I think are great. P.S. I Love you again, a blog on the movie, P.S. I Love You but how it made me feel afterwards (there is also a blog P.S. I Love You when I felt the need to blog 1/2 way through a movie) and Cheaper then Therapy, which is on the subject of why I blog. I also found some good ones on just me, go WAY back to Feb. of 07 in my archives and you can learn alot about me and my family.
Thanks for the post subject Sara. I really did enjoy this one. Hope others participate as well! Long live the Blogosphere!!
I took some blog rearranging time to clean up and decorate some more around here. Check out my new clock and fun Human calender, I also moved Mia and Alex's sites. I redid my WHOLE "Roll Call" section now with pictures! I like it. Quite proud of myself if I do say so. Now I am off to work in my art studio! Buh bye!!
Fancy Pants!! Well readers here it is... the ever so amazing and beautiful layout that was personally created for me by Shannon over at Eight Crazy Designs. And thanks to the ever so giving girls, Heather and Tiffany over at The Secrets in the Sauce, I received it fo free!
Thanks again to Heather, Tiffany and Shannon! You girls took care of me and I love this new make over, and all my other necessary tools to survive in this blogosphere. My favorites are my new layout, my personal recorder ( I use it constantly, not sure how I survived without it. Oh yeah, I was covered in post-its) and my new camera!
Don't get me wrong, I love the target gift card (to replace the melted chocolate) the ever so great iTunes gift card, Alex loves his "Little Brother" t-shirt. Now all I need is my "Comment Junkie" t-shirt to set me for blogger life!
