my car does NOT look like my purse Mom!

Okay so this post is dedicated to my Mom as she left a comment asking what was in my car. More stuff? Okay there’s definitely stuff in my car, but once again – I’m a mom, I can’t help it that my son needs stuff sometimes……. alright that excuse isn’t going to work as soon as I post my list……. whatever… I need stuff. And some of this stuff is entertainment for sitting in the parking lot and waiting for my son to get out of school. I get there like 20 minutes early to get MY parking spot How pathetic. BUT….. I have reasons for this……. I don’t want my son walking thru the parking lot, as people don’t always pay attention when they back up (had a scare one time), I don’t want him crossing the street, cuz I watch the teachers daily….. NOT watching the kids cross the street – busy talking to friends (that really pisses me off – it’s their job to watch those kids and walk halfway with the kids across the street).

I’ve included pics of the inside of my car to PROVE to you all (Mom!) that the inside of my car looks Nothing (with a capital N! haha) like the inside of my purse, which has been cleaned

So I hope you all play along again today and show/tell me what’s in your car! Finding out the contents of your purses was a blast! Play along!

There’s my front seat – seriously…… do you think someone with towels on their seats has a messy car! Puuuulease! Spotless.

Here are the contents of the cubby hole:
Eyedrops (these belong to my brother – from the trip home – geesh, can’t you pick up your shit bro! haha they are my memento of you now, since I sent your pencil back )
2 paperclips (from dropping off house payments at the bank – they’ll eventually make it back in to my office)
Cell Phone Charger
2 pair of sunglasses
ID card for my son for school
My Zia’s old parking permit (that’s my memento of her as when I got a new windshield I lost the Texas stickers that reminded me of her everyday – not to mention everyday I get in the car I’m reminded of her as she sat in that exact seat for many years – thanks Zia (cross your fingers that my car sells soon))
3 packets of Painaid PMF (love this stuff!)

And the contents of the cubby hole under the armrest:
Whole crapload of change in the bottom (Obviously a bad habit I picked up from my brother…. or simply that those little coin holders got full – either or)
2 packs of Kleenex (That I KNOW my Mom has used! haha)
Baby Wipes
2 flashlights
1 sharpened pencil
1 UN sharpened pencil

Now wait a minute……… there’s a reason for those pencils…….. I wanted to do a crossword puzzle one day while I waited for my son and so I grabbed a pencil, before leaving I wanted to make sure the eraser worked, well it didn’t, so I grabbed the un-sharpened pencil because it had a good eraser!

Case for glasses (Cuz ya know sometimes when I’m driving I just decide hey I don’t need to wear my glasses anymore I think I’ll just drive like half the other people in this town do – like I’m freakin blind!)
2 straws
2 notepads
Calculator
More wet wipes

And there’s my backseat – see totally clean Mom!! I have NO idea what you’re talking about I have a lot of stuff in my car.

Contents of backseat:
Dictionary (for those damn crossword puzzles)
Recipe Folder (I plan meals and write the grocery list while I wait for my son)
10 magazines (tucked neatly away in my Ralph Lauren bag)
My son’s booster seat
And a crossword puzzle book

And finally my trunk…….

My Zia’a umbrella
Sunshade
License plate cover for front of car
And a bag that I need to return to a friend – with a card in it – and it’s been riding around in my trunk for so long that I don’t remember what the card says!

So….. seeing the list makes it sound like there’s a lot of shit in my car – but look MA it’s nice and clean! Neatly tucked away so next time you ride with me you’ll have kleenex, eye drops, something to read and sunglasses to block the sun! haha

Hope you ALL play along! I’m excited to see/hear whatcha got!

Holy shit there’s the bottom of my purse! That’s all I’ve got – let’s hear what you’ve got now!

prairie dog hunting

Wow….. I had to add more to this when I stumbled upon this site.

All American Outfitter

This just struck me an absolutely hilarious and the more I think about it, the funnier it gets. So this is Texas style Prairie Dog Hunting. You schedule a time, get a group together, sit at your pretty little “quality” bench and sit in the field and shoot. Seriously people. Oh by the way! Don’t forget your partner, cuz one of you shoots while the other one spots dogs for you. My good god……. (shaking head)

Here in Montana when we go prairie dog hunting – this is where you’ll find us…….

Laying on some hillside like a sniper waiting for your next kill. Maybe laying in a patch of cactus – who the hell knows. Hell probably laying amongst the cow pies too! We don’t have pretty little benches to sit at. Nope we hold our own guns, scope out our own dogs and lay on the ground. So the next time you want to go “hunting” for real, try it Montana style!

how our 6th month anniversary was spent (HE remembered!)

What makes me happier than a hammer in hand? A gun in hand! Safely of course. Geesh people. My boyfriend being the sweet guy he is traded his Savage 30-06 in for a Savage 204 Ruger so I could take on the deer this year and still have a shoulder left. I also just inherited my Dad’s two guns. Thanks Dad! I now have a 243 Win. and a .22. The .22 is not firing right now, but my man will fixer up. Dad said if he remembers right, his Dad paid 18 dollars for the .22 brand new. Dang…. I wish I could get a gun for that.

The three of us headed out for a bit of excitement. Taking me out shooting is like watching a little kid get excited for Christmas. The guys headed out for a pole to prop up our targets, I stayed behind with the camera in hand. I shot this picture through the binoculars.

My son also got in on target practice today. He was SO ready to go shoot, but it didn’t take long before he said his shoulder hurt. He still had a blast though. Here they are getting ready.

Here’s one of his shots and the hole in the metal pole he left also! Nice shot son!

And here’s my first target – not bad eh?! Yep that deer woulda been mine – SOO can’t wait for season to open.

And here’s my boyfriends target.

We also headed out for a bit of prairie dog hunting. I’m a deer hunter – those damn little targets are impossible. I did get my shot in on one of them damn things and blew its nose, mouth and one eye off.

So even tho this maybe wouldn’t  have been how I would have decided to spend our 6 month….. a day playing with guns, climbing hills, splashing thru the mud, ALMOST getting stuck (good driving babe – so we didn’t get stuck!), watching the antelope be dumb, shootin prairie dogs and thinking we had a flat tire (it was just forgetting to shut the 4-wheel drive off – oops! that was him NOT me! hehe ), it was an AWESOME day and we’ll be doing it again soon.

a whole lotta nothin

I don’t have anything major to write about today so I’m going to ramble, you can read it or you can ignore. But I named this site reformattingmybrain for a reason so I’m going to dump all this on here in an attempt to not think about it the rest of the day. First of all I’m actually in a pretty decent mood, took a muscle relaxant last night and I finally slept, I mean one of those deep deep sleeps where a tornado could have ripped through here and I would never have known it. I’m a little worried about taking these sometimes tho; I worry about two major things before I fall asleep, if my son going to wake up and need me and what if there’s a fire. But then the meds kicked in and for once I wasn’t worrying about something. Life is so wonderful then. I’m a terrible worrier. This is such a bad quality at times, I spend so much time worrying, hell I worry about worrying sometimes. Should I worry less, more – OMG – trust me a person can drive themselves crazy with this.

Most of you that know me, know that I don’t watch TV. Yesterday was the season premier of The Office, and for once, I took that half hour to sit and watch the show. Okay so I didn’t sit the entire half hour – I did the dishes at commercial break, there that sound more like me – yep, go go go. And then it sucked so that pissed me off. Oh well, like I told my son last night I’m all excited to see the season premier and I’ll probably see maybe one more of them sometime down the road. First, I don’t normally have time, secondly, I can think of a hundred other things I’d rather do than sit and watch TV. Anyway……… told you I was just going to ramble.

So, it’s been raining here for the past couple days. So once again I woke up to a puddle of water on my kitchen counter. Why for once can’t something just go right! Like the flooring in my kitchen…… We got the whole thing done – looked gorgeous…. then we found a squeak so we peel up one tile in an attempt to fix the squeak. Well after pulling that tile the squeak moved over 1 tile so we peeled that one up too and then the damn squeak moved again. So had we continued following this damn squeak I would have had a wood floor in my kitchen so we quit peeling tiles. Grabbed two more tiles to replace those – stuck them down – took a step back – WTF, they don’t match! Yes, so now my BLUE floor that I loved so much has two GREEN tinted tiles right in the middle, not to mention they don’t fit so they’re peeling up already. Yep, that’s my luck. If it weren’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any luck at all.

Holy *&$! a spider just dropped down from the ceiling and scared the hell outta me!! Wow….. ummmm excuse me for a couple minutes…….. must change.

Last night I took my son shopping for jeans. I guess he’s going to school in shorts all winter, because I can’t find the kid jeans that fit. We started with a 7 slim, those were too short. Okay, how bout an 8 slim, nope those are too big. So I get all excited when I see they make a 7X slim for those kids who are in between a 7 and an 8! Yeah – I take those to him…… hahahaha Seriously guys you didn’t think I was going to have something go right did you. I’m not sure why they made this wonderful 7X size because they fit the same as the 8 slims. So I’m going to have to leave my cozy little podunk town and head somewhere else this weekend. Ugggg…… Why are little kids jeans always made for short “big” kids. What about those little kids that are extremely skinny and long legged! What about them?! They have a big and tall shop, why don’t they have a little and tall shop! And my son isn’t even tall! We went to the furniture store the other day and the lady thought he was in preschool!!!! He turned around with an awful look on his face and said “2nd grade!” hahahaha Poor kid. He’ll grow and when that day comes – you all better say poor mom. It’ll be one of those overnight things for a couple months where you can’t keep him in clothes cuz he outgrows them 2 days later.

Well as much as I’d like to continue rambling about nothing, I’ve gotta get to work. Aaaaah the luxury of working at home, clocking in when I’m damn good and ready, freezing my toes and fingers off because the idiot that built my house thought it would be an okay thing to have a basement with no heat in it?! WTF?, cranking my music so I can concentrate, and on days when I’m crabby I don’t have to put up with anybody’s shit – well face to face anyway hehe
