i forgot……

Topic of discussion: “I forgot”. A saying we’ve all heard over and over and over and you get the hint. This was started by another conversation between myself and my man. As I scrubbed my bathroom with my vinegar and baking soda and other kitchen items that are supposed to be safe while pregnant, yes I’m a big ol chicken who doesn’t want to be inhaling fumes, I was thinking how in the hell does he “forget” to clean the bathroom. So we were discussing this, okay pretty much it was me doing all the talking (hehe), and I kept asking how you forget to clean the bathroom……… you don’t “forget” to go to basketball, you don’t “forget” to go to work, you don’t “forget” to get dressed, you don’t “forget” to watch TV, so how is it that you “forget” to clean the bathroom. He wasn’t sure. Jees – I gave him the opportunity for once to tell me something I didn’t know and he didn’t take it! hahaha So ladies when’s the last time you “forgot” to do laundry, or “forgot” to cook, or “forgot” to clean? I’m just curious. Does this forgetfulness thing happen often and I’m missing out? I’m being a total smart ass – but this just made me laugh.

annoying commercials

I’m always bothered by these commercials on TV for exercise equipment. Look it worked for them – well hello a**holes…. if you start with a supermodel you’re probably going to end up with a supermodel after she uses your product for 2 minutes. My gawd – this annoys the crap outta me.

This little rant started last night after repeatedly watching the commercial for the Zone Pilates Home Exercise Workout System. So they start off showing this tall skinny model like woman using their product, then they show her showing off her body. Ummmm hello…… I didn’t notice any change. My comment was, show me a mother with a couple kids and show me how well the product works. My man said I’d never make it in advertising – well hell no probably not because I wouldn’t be false advertising a product. So this product should sell wonderfully to tall skinny model like women. As for the rest of us……..

Then I said and look at that – they’ve done so poorly at selling this product that they’ve knocked off one payment for us. They couldn’t sell it by asking for two payments, so now you only have to make one payment for the POS. This is what the conversation turned into……..

Him: Well maybe they’ve done so well selling the product that they can afford to take half the payment.
Me: Puuuuulease! So you mean to tell me if you worked selling burgers and you’d been selling burgers at 4 bucks a piece and you were selling millions of them and becoming rich that you’d cut the price in half and start selling burgers for 2 bucks a piece?
Him: *speechless* *giggle*
Me: Yeeeeaah….. you’d up the price, people like your burgers and they’re going to continue to buy them so you’d start charging 6 bucks a piece.
Him: *speechless*
Me: Yep…… think I made my point. *LMAO*

I’m still giggling about this today.

my man

Title this picture……
My first thought was excited – but I’m not sure that even comes close to it

If you’re wondering it was an MP3 player from his Gramma. Yes I think she scored big on that one! ha Another big score was Papa’s present – a huge remote control car – which I think should stay with him cuz he bought it! haha I’m kidding. Little did he know – it’s the loudest car ever!! We’ve yet to find a volume switch Wire cutter anybody? ha I’ll post a pic later of him playing with that – he loves it. And the excedrin company will love that car too, I’ll be keeping them in business.

Building his first ever very own lego set from Santa…… It’s an airport – or soon to be anyway

on a roll

Now I’m on a roll with baking. So I guess I’m motivation for the rest of you! If you come over I’ll share…….

you know you want to……..

There’s a surprise in the middle………….

Snickers!

For once I made cookies that not only taste good – but they LOOK good too! haha Usually they’re all flat and funky looking and not the same size, you get the picture. But these bad boys – mmm mmm good! My son actually stayed to help through this cookie making process. Probably because he was having fun sticking the Snickers in them

For those of you leaving and I won’t hear from you until after Christmas – Have a fabulous Christmas! Hugs to all!

early present

Kids get so excited for Christmas. We remember, we’ve all been there – staring at those presents thinking man can’t I open just one? Yesterday I picked my son up from school and he proudly handed me a bag that he said was a present for under the tree. Last night he decided he wanted me to open it early, he said I really needed to – it couldn’t wait. Knowing it was more than likely an ornament made at school I was ready to rip er open to hang it on the tree. But you see with my son….. there’s always a catch. I bet you guessed his plan already. If I open the present he made me at school then he should get to open something too. Which was fine with me. So he says he’ll open the smallest present under the tree. So I pick one and hand it to him. Well then he decided he didn’t really want the smallest one. So I put it back and said okay we’ll just wait then. No, I want to open it. haha Okay, so here you go. He sat with it for a minute or two – me wondering what was going through his mind. When he starts into a spiel about how the ribbon is really pretty, maybe he shouldn’t open this one, the ribbon is too hard to get off, yada yada yada. I’m like….. oooooook well lets just wait then. That’ll fix that problem. haha Yeah right. That wasn’t his plan at all of course! Needless to say after much going back and forth he finally opened it and was excited to see his Railroad Tycoon 3 game for the computer.

Here’s my ornament he made me at school. I love it!
