I can’t wait to do the “Fight For Preemies” blog! My preemie’s birthday is November 19th, so how perfect! Thanks, Becky, for turning me onto this cause-I always felt strongly about it, and it’s great to have an outlet and fellow bloggy mommies who care too.

You know I was kind of hoping to get the swine (knock on wood) just so I could get out of work for a few days, but after reading about your symptoms I think I’ll pass…

I don’t get the farm town thing either. I think someone invented it to try to keep me away from facebook. Bc every time I see updates telling me someone bought a cow or whatever, it makes me want to log off.

My plan is to paint it and reupholster it like they do on them there design blogs, and it will be so good that it will be featured as a before and after on design sponge, and thus the masses will flock to my blog for decorating advice only to be FOILED because I only write about myself and I’m crap with decorating.

*I am trying to write a novel but the damn Internet keeps getting in the way with its enticing blogs about other people’s random stuff.

*I am all pumped up for Christmas because the ENTIRE family will be there and there are four brand new great-grandbabies which means all sorts of fussing and photographs. I say this without sarcasm. I really can’t wait.

When you see a post for something you’re totally not into, you can hide the whole application. Just go to the upper right corner of that specific post, and there’s an option to hide this post, or hide this application. It works. Then you block it from sending invites.

I have to go to a going away party for a coworker tonight. I don’t want to go, but if I don’t I will end up in the middle of a huge debacle. Thank God for toddlers with early bedtimes -I’ll only have to stay half an hour!

Someone invited me to Farmwhatever on Facebook. I prefer Mafia wars – there’s stealing and killing and beating up; and no cows. That’s much more my scene.

Weeds is pretty good – for a while, we were getting free digital channels on our cable, so I got to watch a season or two. It’s not so good that I’m willing to pay for it, though, but that applies to most things. Which is why I don’t understand prostitution. (There, how’s that for random?)

I get notices all the time that my cousin has been working on my ‘Farm’….WTF??? I don’t have a farm, never authorized a farm. Who is setting up all these farms? Why fucking farms?!?! Why not spas? Whatever. I ignore it all….never on hide though. I have to SEE it to IGNORE it…hahahaha!!!

As far as random…

I just heard the garbage truck outside….and I hope my hubby remembered to put the trash out. Will I go and check…nope.

The table leg on my computer table is wiggly -wonder who is going to fix that?

Need to get a job. How to stay at home Moms (with a 9 month old) get to stay home, do the budget, know we need money, and continue to stay home…this occupies most of my day.

Christmas is looming, and I have no tree. Or presents.

Wondering if all the times I say “SonsofBitches” will make a difference to the vocabulary of said 9 mo. old.

And… I was sick earlier this week, kept going in to my boss to discuss the same thing over and over again, like Groundhog’s Day. I blamed it on the Nyquil I had taken earlier in the day.

I got lost on the way home because it was dark and it was raining…I’ve lived in the God forsaken city all my life. I wound up crying and figuring out where I was when the rain let up, 15 minutes later.

Also, I blocked all those stupid Facebook game updates. My life is so much better now.

Random today? Sorry, no. Today I am well thought-out.

Farmville though. Here’s the thing. It’s like crack. Your friend invites you, so you click on it thinking “what the crap is Farmville and why is everyone playing it”? And then you harvest your first crop and think “oh, well, this is stupid, but what else is there to do? There MUST BE MORE” .. so you plant some, and buy a cow, and plant a tree, and shrug and say “I’m out of money, I’ll come back later and .. maybe it will make sense”.

The next thing you know, you’re asking your best friend to log in as you and check to make sure your berry crop hasn’t died because you can’t get on in time because the kids are crying, and omg! I so want that lost turtle you found, and HEY can you 30 other people start a farm so I can get a ribbon and more points?

It’s not intentional. You log on, just to see what all the hype is about, and then you’re hooked. Not because it’s fun, not because it’s interesting, but because you CAN’T STOP. Your crops will die! Your cows will be bursting full with milk! The poor lost animals will be homeless! And what CRAZY THING will they come out with next (alien cows!)? Crack, I tell ya. Crack.

4 weeks ago today I was on my way to Disney World on vacation. Why did I come home – it is raining here – always. Except next trip I am bringing my own toilet paper for the hotel room, scratchy cheap crap at value resort.

Farmville is apparently SO important one of my co-workers feels the need to play it during work hours, along with Mafia Wars etc. And likes to moan and complain about how busy she is.

Ok, before I get to random, let me explain the FB games bit. See, games don’t need to have a point. That IS the point. Why do people play pool and knock little balls into cups on a table? No reason. Just ’cause. It takes your mind off of other sucky shit, it occupies a few minutes of your day (unless you’re an addict) and if you’re the competitive type, you get a little jolt out of advancing to the next level, even if you don’t get anything out of it. I have played Mafia Wars, Restaurant city, and Farmville. With farmville, I felt bad if my crops died, like I had wasted my time planting them and I didn’t want to be BAD at something. Yeah.. Issues. I know. I’m over it.

Ok – here’s random. I like cloth diapers, they are also addicting, cause they’re so freakin cute and they all work differently and you want to get a bargain and you think there must be this perfect one out there somewhere. So now they have this scavenger hunt for cloth diaper addicts… and you have to find this dumb little icon hidden on web sites. Oh yeah… I guess I just have an addictive type personality. Good thing I don’t do alcohol or drugs!!!!

Other less random thoughts. Hoping that you feel better, like NOW, and screw the piggy flu. And I love every pic you post of Mimi… just too damn cute.

Oh my god! That is the cutest hedgehog I have ever seen. I don’t know how you are doing it without coffee, but good for you! You are a stronger woman than i am. If it turns out that you are drinking a cup of psychcedelic tea, just lay back and enjoy the ride. Poopie diapers will never look so magical again.

I miss coffee so much that I sort of want to cry. Okay, maybe I do cry sometimes.

That is the cutest little hedgehog I have ever seen!!! I just want to pinch those little cheeks.

I love me my facebook, and I will admit that for a very very short time I was somewhat addicted to that Farmville crap, but then I saw the light and detest anything like that.

And by the way…Weeds? Oh. My. Gawd. I hope you’re catching up quickly because that show rocks the fantastical.

Hi Aunt Becky!

Ok, I have a HUGE favor to ask of you. Can you visit my blog soon? I put up a contest to help me write the next *about me* blurb and I think you are soooooo funny that I thought maybe you could just think about it. (You don’t have to really KNOW me or anything, I just want something witty.)

I think you are one of the funniest bloggers I read (I even QUOTED you today – with credit of course) and your input would be great, if you have the time!

Thanks,
~Sarah

Happily. Tomorrow, when my head is screwed on better.

Ok, random:

Seeing how you gave up the coffee – theres a tea that does the same thing. Check it out – it even helps your allergies. Google Yerba Mate. only thing- it tastes nasty. LOL! You need to add stuff like lemon and sugar but damn it geeks you out! Wooo!

Your Aunt Becky Reply:

I’ll have to check it OUT.

[Reply]

Yep, I’m a Farmville addict too. Seriously, I need one of those 12-step programs. But I promise, I only post about lost animals. I turn down posting every one of those ‘So and So got a ribbon, yay!’ and ‘Such and Such bought some weird shit, you should buy some too!’ things.

BTW, I’m from Australia, so we’ve already done the swine flu thing (hard, in my state). One of my co-workers is on an advisory board and he mentioned a couple of weeks ago that there’s some (possibly circumstanial) evidence that the swine flu might beat down your immune system for months afterwards. We seem to have had a lot more cases of pneumonia, for instance. I know you’re smart/sane/medically experienced enough not to go all ‘OMG I’m going to DIE!!’, but I figured I should warn you to, I don’t know, take some extra vitamins or something for the next few months? And not get pneumonia? Please?

I was TOTALLY wondering about the swine flu breaking down the immune system, actually. I’ll be careful. Thanks for the warning.

I think Facebook is really good for the chronically bored.

I always felt strongly about it, and it’s great to have an outlet and fellow boggy mommies who care too.I always like to try and visit everyone. I can’t always keep up, but I try.

[Reply]

Now that you are done with Weeds and yes I agree that US of Tara is quite amazing although Canada doesn’t think so because I have to watch it on some Chinese youtube thingy,I would recommend Saving Grace with Holly Hunter now that girl knows how to party with the co-workers ! her dog is so cute too

Weeds was excellent except for the part where they were trafficking the girls through the hole in the maternity store. That shook me up a bit.

On a brighter note, I give the kids Diet Coke all day every day so for Christmas I am going to let them have something special. I’m thinking Cherry Coke (do you think I can find any old cans on e-Bay?) or maybe JOLT.

OK, now I’m showing my age.

xx. Feel better.

Jolt Cola was freaking FANTASTIC although I don’t think it ever made me hyper like it promised it would. But then again, caffeine never really works the way it’s supposed to, right?

Not that I’m giving away my age or anything either, but I totally gave a boy I used to babysit his own entire 2 liter of Jolt. Or was it a 3 liter? Anyway, he was up all night playing video games. Hee. Hey, it was his slumber party, and I was, to quote Aunt Becky, Full of The Awesome. He was 10 years old. I was cool, man, way cool!

[Reply]

Your Aunt Becky Reply:

Wait, maybe I need to rethink my stance on Jolt Cola, because perhaps I need to think about drinking that on the days when a certain baby of mine wakes up at 4 in the morning. HM…

All the photos are adorable. The cat is so relaxed! Sorry you’re still suffering. May the germs begone!

I’m pretty sure that you’re suppose to recruit other people to the game. That’s the point. So I can be all, “Hey Sci-Fi, give me a Pink Sheep, motherfucker.”

Facebook is really only good for one thing, and we all know this. Stalking.

[Reply]

Your Aunt Becky Reply:
November 13th, 2009 at 8:35 pm

See, I thought MySpace was better for that because not everyone’s profile was all LOCKED DOWN and stuff. Because I can’t STALK someone if I can’t get access to their private profile.

*sighs*

I really don’t have very many interesting skeletons. I guess that’s good, right?

The answer to your poisoned tea myth: You have a lazy ninja lurking in your house.

Maybe it was a CHICKEN ninja. Either way, I threw out the fucking tea. Seemed like a wise idea.

[Reply]

I too was annoyed by Farmtown/Farmville/Lil Farm (what the heck is the difference anyway?) until I figured out that you can hide all posts about the games. Just click on hide on any person’s post about any game and you will see two options – one for hide that person (I’ve had to do that to some of my ‘friends’ too) or hide that game. It gets rid of all of those stupid messages – yay!

Now that is a win/win, my friend.

I have an in at the People’s Court too. WAY back when I was in college, one of my sorority sisters (I know, I can’t believe it either) was the daughter of that dude that interviewed everyone on their way out. I’m talking about in the days of Wapner. What the hell was his name? oh yeah, Doug Llewelyn.

I almost cut the tip of my thumb off last night while chopping ice off a cold pack. (don’t ask)(no, really, you can ask if you want) (I’m just a clumsy idiot who cannot stand to have random ice on my cold packs. WHAT?)

Luckily, I’m not squeamish. There was a lot of blood.

The end.

I love your hedgehog.

Your Aunt Becky Reply:

I’m not squeamish either, but that sounds gnarly. Like seriously, just kind of gnarly and annoying. I kind of wonder what would happen in those cases, like what I would do with my children. Would I lock them in a closet and call 911? Hm.

Also, my hedgehog is pretty adorable, huh? I love her too.

[Reply]

Randomness:

He’s six years old and still cannot piss DIRECTLY into the toilet. The fuck? What the hell is the distraction?? Is he dreaming of his Christmas Hit List mid-stream and not realizing that his misdirections are now puddling on the floor or is he doing it to me ON PURPOSE?!

[Reply]

Your Aunt Becky Reply:

My 8 year old seems to have the same problem and I’m considering making him pee sitting down. Except that I won’t. I’ll just shake my fists at him when I sit in a puddle of his pee when I stumble into the bathroom overnight and realize he’s pissed all over the seat WAAAAY too late.

Love my soggy ass.

Freaking GREAT.

I once had a naughty dream about Judge Whapner.

Are you kidding? I am totally wishing I had Showtime so that I could watch Season 5 now. I’d consider it, but I think it costs approximately my kidney. Or at least one of my children.

[Reply]

What is up with all of the Facebook games? I get invitations to join Farmville and some Mafia crap. All by other moms!? For clarity, with your spare time you would like to kill people and raise animals? Wait, I might be seeing the appeal.

Your Aunt Becky Reply:
November 13th, 2009 at 9:50 pm

I’d be pretty content with killing some fictional people, but the animals, shit, I have enough living under my roof right now that actually vie for my attention. Maybe I should send them to the next person who sends me a Farmville application.

[Reply]

if you are not watching the middle on abc on wednesday you are missing out. freaking hilarious!

also, you know you can hide stuff on facebook – hold your mouse to the right of the “post” and there will be an arrow, click on that and then click hide all

I didn’t get the Farmtown/Farmville thing until my husband explained that they’re Dollhouse games. You earn game money that lets you buy stuff for your farm/dollhouse. I started playing Farmtown and I find it relaxing. Mostly, it’s just clicking on stuff. But if I weren’t already sitting in front of a computer working/procrastinating, I probably wouldn’t bother.
