happy belated thanksgiving!!

lol..

that's all i got for you.

ha!

i've been sOo busy with what seems to be NOTHING. it's incredible. rest is sOo needful!!

sO, i'll run you through my busy weekend..

thursday - we had a GREAT hangout time with all kinds of wonderful people.. i LOVE our thanksgiving day dinners cuz it gives us an *excuse* to hang out with people we wouldn't normally spend time with. we ate a disgustingly hunormous amount of food. (yes, i said hunormous)

friday - rest. LOTS of rest. and crafting. did i ever tell you that some crafting sucks?  (yes, i said sucks.)
oh yea, and leftovers.

saturday - mO rest. mO and mO. felt good, too.. (yes, i said mO) oh yea.. and mO leftovers too..

sunday - rest, then church.. then a muppet movie. lots of GOOOD laffs. i recommend this movie.

best muppet movie. ever.

(yes, i said ever.)

oh yea.. there are STILL leftovers. O_o

i'm grateful, right?  i feel like if i see another piece of ham i'll vomit. but i am grateful. lol

so, yea.. happy belated thanksgiving.. heh hehh..  ;)

"i come in peace pieces..."

thankful #238. (cuz 238 comes after 237)

i'm thankful for my lil' people..

i have three.

they're funny.. creative.. and sweet.  & i like 'em.

this is a pic i took of them in the park.. i didn't even hafta ask them to hold hands..

time..

“You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future”


i don't know who said it, but there's definitely sum truth in there.  maybe that's why year round our clock says


"7:47"

o___O

actually.. i'm probably just a bum & need to get a screwdriver to open up the back & replace the batteries..


but, i can't be worryin' about the future..  


;)

*just kidding*

quote credit here..

gotta be in a good mood...

if not, i become a grumbler.

ewwww..  O_____o

people don't like being around pain in the butts grumblers.

it's annoying. (and to think i was about to *go* there)

even Jesus doesn't like when people complain.. (Phil. 2:14 do EVERYthing without complaining/grumbling/murmuring..) 

sometimes, i just can't think of anything to write about.. then i stumble over sumthin' that basically sums up what i'd like to say but dare not cuz if i say it then i'd become a part of the masses of people that people complain about who are pain in the butts grumblers.

heh heh..  (that was on purpose)

anyway.. i found this..

I am numb--this blog is numb.
I think I'm done.

I don't have anything positive to say lately.  I don't take the time to really put together well thought out posts either.  I'm starting to not care and no one really reads it anyway.  I think it's time to let this blog go.

See ya somewhere else! 

(grumbler's credit.. not that grumblers want credit for grumbling.. but OH WELL.. shoulda thought about that BEFORE you typed. lol)

then i was like..

WOW. 

why is that girl buggin' out like that?  doesn't she know there's a reason to keep going?
not that i don't understand how she's feeling, but come onnnnn... 

pull yOself together, chicKLet!!

i'm talking to her AND myself..
READERS are worth my time. i like to share my thoughts (whether silly or slightly normal) with YOU!

but WHY? 

.

.

cuz, i said so. 

;)

sO, i decided to write a rhybloem. (rhyming blog-poem, get it??  nevermind.. lol)

Readers make me all happy self

Followers make me all joyful elf

I type & doodle & google, too..

Don't even think for a minute that i do this all for you..

but you do help me to keep going... ;)

so, thanks. :)

that's me.. when i'm all happy self. 

best. pet. ever.

i have ALWAYS said, "if i could have my way, i would have a two foot tall giraffe for a pet.. & now thanks to these guys, i am sOoo close..

& i will call him George..

yay! i'm on the *waiting list*  ;)

she's my idol..

but, wait.. the Bible says don't have idols.. sOoo.. she's my friend.

yea.. that's it.

okayyy.. sO i don't REALLY know her. but she's cool. so, if i refer to her as my friend, that means she has gained my approval. which is sumthin not to be taken lightly!

;)

look at a few of her posts. good stuff.

anyway.

the tree is done. i don't buy new ornaments. matter of fact, i barely buy anything new.. except for shoes. (used shoes?? EW GROSS..)

sO, i'm thinkin' tonight as i'm decorating the tree..

Q: WHY is it that i have the SAME lights that i had like 7 years ago...?

A: 'cuz it's friggin' *i nvrrr say friggin' btw..* awesomeee!!

Q: WHY is THAT friggin' awesomeee??

A: 'cuz it's friggin' frugal! LOL

WHY am i cracKin' myself up right about now?? LOL

yea, sO the tree is pretty cute. same Christmas stash, new look.. red, gold & good 'ol balsam green. i like her. :)

Q: WHY do people refer to Santa *which is Satan if u switch the letters around* Clause as magical??

A: i have NO idea.. but i went to the mall with my kiddos last week & the dude was holding lil' kids and LYING to them.

BOOOOooooo!!!

i am sO not a santa *satan* subscriber, supporter, or anything else.

**BUT**

because i grew up supporting the liar, i find songs about him quite enjoyable.

Q: does that make me an oxymoron?

A: shutchO mouf.

i can't wait until Christmas. ^.^

if u give a mom a muffin..

there's a GREAT book called If You Give a Moose a Muffin...

this poem is a spin-off of that great book.

it's cute.

makes me wanna write my own.. :)

If You Give A Mom A Muffin....

She'll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She'll pour herself some.
Her three-year-old will spill the coffee.
She'll wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she'll find dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
She'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan for supper.
She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She'll look for her cookbook ("101 Things To Do With a Pound of Hamburger").
The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The check book is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old.
She'll smell something funny.
She'll change the two year old's diaper.
While she is changing the diaper, the phone will ring.
Her five-year-old will answer and hang up.
She'll remember she wants to phone a friend for coffee.
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
And chances are...
If she has a cup of coffee,
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.

i hope u get to eat your muffin today. O_o

(poetic creds)

cute story time..

this one's a lil' extra for all u kid lovin' bloggers..

it's hailing here right now.. thundering, lightning, raining... AND hailing.

interesting.

sO, j-boy #3 comes to me and says, "Mommy, i FEEL the lightning in my window."

sO naturally i wanna know what lightning FEELS like.. so i asked him.

his answer, "it FEELS like nothing."

heh heh.. eh heh.

i LOVE the age when the senses are all discombobulated..

(and i LOVE the word discombobulated)

my favorite example of this **discombobulation** EVER is from this convo..

same kid.. different moment.

someone leaves the bathroom.. j-boy #3 responds when he goes into the same bathroom..

"it smells HOT in here."

i STILL don't know what he meant by that, but i probably shouldn't WANT to know either.. O_o

i hope your tomorrow FEELS wonderfully yummy. =)

i LOVE old school.. something about the way things USED to be done is aWeSoMe...

and intriguing.. and interesting.. and well.. different.

i DON'T prefer new media.. full of garbage, mudslinging, and filth.

sO.. when old stuff comes around.. most people wanna check it out..

'cos it's kitschy and kool. sometimes. (a couple of the images are not too great, but the majority, you'll find quite amusing..)

anyway, i find lil' tidbits of info interesting..

the ODD couple..

SNooP Dog.. and Martha Stewart..

if that won't make you LOL, then i don't know what will!

apparently, Martha decides to invite Snoop Dog onto her show.. WHY?? well.. i have NO idea..
