Everything! It's that time of year. Time to get rid of clutter and deep clean
2. What’s your idea of good, clean fun?
Pretty much anything I do with my kids. Even if we're just sitting around the living room picking on each other.
3. How clean is your driving record?
As far as the cops/insurance know about, it's Pretty clean. Only one accident since I got my license at 18. How many times have I caught myself doing more than 10-15 miles over the speed limit? Lets uhhhhhhh not get into that lol.
4. When did you last make a clean escape?
When I realized that my ex bf, was not only lying to me, but was still very much married, and cheating on me too. Busy lil guy i tell ya! 8 years wasted of my life but I have a super awesome man now!
5. What are your feelings about dirty language?
I genuinely try not to use it, especially certain words, but sometimes it helps to make a point. Like saying "oh heckydarn" just doesn't have the same impact as "Oh sh*t" does.
Wanna play too? Join Friday Five and see what others have to say.
Oh boy,i'm not about to play the one that REALLY pops into my head because it can be kind of offensive and it's loud. For those who like loud music, It's "Crying Like A B*tch" by Godsmack.
The one I will share is the one my boyfriend got me listening to. It's kinda of catchy and fun so no one will be shocked by it lol.
This should be a pretty easy Meme lol. I've like NEVERRRR been accused of being unreasonable before. And if you believe that.........well lets talk about this oceanfront property I own lol.
Found this cute Meme today and it's so nice outside I've decided to just sit outside and blog. It's just too nice to sit in the house being all cooped up.
So, anyway, this is my first time doing this meme, but it looks nice and the people participating look friendly so if you like meme's too feel free to join in the fun.
1.What’s something you have an unreasonable fear of?
Lol, oh this is easy......Mice and snakes. I swear to God and anyone else listening that I would literally leave my children to be attacked if I saw one. I know this because I have! Saw it, almost climbed my boys heads trying to get away. Luckily they were old enough to dispose of it and not little toddlers or anything lol. They got me back later by convincing me that they had to perform some sort of ceremony to bury it or the mate would come looking for it.
2.What’s something you have an unreasonable fondness for?
Chocolate, you can check the size of my butt to know i speak the truth!
3.What’s something you have an unreasonable disliking for? Banana's! I won't even let the kids eat them in the house or anywhere near me. They gross me out so bad!
4.Who’s most likely to bring out the unreasonable in you?
it depends, sometimes it's an ex. In general it's anyone who messes with my kids. All reason leaves me and I become something resembling a rabid Mother Grizzly.
5.Who’s the least unreasonable person you know?
My Grandma. I swear if she HAS to say something negative about someone else, she will go out of her way to try and say several NICE things about them too and then she probably prays all night for forgiveness. I love her soooooo much though. She's how people really should be. Kind!
You know when you just have way too much to do and not enough time in the day to do half of it? Yeah, I figured you would. On the upside, i'm sitting outside in the beautiful weather we are having here in Texas blogging. We're supposed to have highs in the low 80's all week and relatively cool nights. Within a month or so it'll be in the 90's, feel like a 100 and the electricity bills will skyrocket. So, it's best to enjoy Texas weather while it can actually be enjoyed.
I have a job interview next week that I'm sort of excited about. A lot will depend on how much they pay. With gas prices so high right now, it ought to be good. Especially since for this job I would have to buy medical scrubs to work in. In a way i don't see why since it is just a receptionist position. Why the need for something as specific as nursing uniform scrubs are needed to answer the phones is a mystery to me, but that's what the ad says and the recruiter confirmed it. Oh well, if the pay is good enough, i'll buy a set for every day of the month! A job is a job, but a good paying job is awesome! Plus, the heat will be coming soon, working in an office where someone else is paying the electric bill would be great as well.
I guess we'll see what happens. In the meantime, between my other jobs, playing fetch with Harley and trying to maintain my sanity I'll probably look and see how much it would cost to buy scrubs online. Some really cute ones!
Generally speaking, I am not much for following the crowd. I like to do my own thing and be supportive of what others do when reasonable. When it comes to our soldiers though, well, then that notion goes right out the window. I will do anything I can to help support our men and women in uniform. I send $20 a month to buy cups of coffee for our soldiers and I send packages every 3 months with all kinds of goodies in them to a marine camp in Iraq in memory of my son's best friend that died there. I send cards during holidays too. I don't tell this to brag, it's just something i truly believe we should ALL do. I know not everyone can though, sometimes I have to wait longer than normal if finances are tighter than normal myself.
Here's something that we can ALL do though to support our troops. It's practically free! In fact, it IS free unless you literally have nothing red to wear.
I copied this from a facebook Event page that sort of explains the reasoning behind this newest support method. I'm not positive it's a true story, but I know that our men and women do so much for us that it's probably not far from true. if you would like to join the event on facebook you can do so by visiting http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=176090525770505&index=1
Will You give this to my Daddy?
As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.' Last week I was in Atlanta , Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed One of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen. Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As t...hey began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and Cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.
Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.
Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our Service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi...'
The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her...
The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.
The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.
When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second... Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it..
After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying 'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.'
The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event.
As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.
We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American.
RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.
Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday - and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.
By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.
If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is.....We need your support and your prayers.
Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example.
My new puppy just cracks me up. He's always up to something. Usually something he isn't supposed to be doing. The last few days he has been particularly ornery. Not sure why, maybe it's just because he decided he could and therefore did. he's just like that sometimes.
Anyway, for some reason, Mr. Badazz himself is terrified of the ZhuZhu hamster. Go figure huh?
