*You’ll be happy to know that I’m still trying to mount a case against The Swine Flu, but am having trouble finding a pig to sue. Thankfully, I have an IN at the People’s Court to help me out when I snag that swine and dress him in those motherfucking medallions. Because nearly 2 weeks later, I’m still sick. And someone has to PAY for that! *shakes fists at sky*
*Don’t worry, though, Internet, I’ll be sure to keep my symptoms to myself, well, for the time being. I’m saving up the run down for a power point at the Thanksgiving table to describe my sputum and just how my headache felt (tiny malevolent men behind my eyeballs with icepicks). If that fails, I’ll send an email to everyone in my address book and all of my Facebook friends.
*Speaking of Facebook, a)we should be friends and 3) what the FUCK is up with Farmtown? No, seriously people, what the hell is up with that? I really don’t understand the point of it and why my wall is filled with things like, “Amy found a pink sheep.” Am I missing something important here? I don’t have a fucking farm and I don’t really WANT a fucking farm because my house? Is a fucking menagerie anyway.
See:
Did you know cats could play the Wii while sleeping with adorable bunny rabbits? NOW YOU DO.
*Did you know how awesome the show Weeds was? Because it is and I feel like there was this big conspiracy to keep me from watching it until now. Except that I’m pretty sure that someone told me that I should be watching it, because, well, it’s full of The Awesome and that would be MY fault for not listening.
(it’s totally my fault)(what else am I missing?)
*I’m not very good at math, but I think Christmas is coming up soon, because the diet Coke cans that I buy and look at lovingly *damn you TOPAMAX!* have snowflakes on them. Shit, man, wasn’t it just, like, spring?
*Maybe I can give the kids diet Coke for Christmas!
*Okay, maybe not. Damn. That’s the same face I got when I told him that he couldn’t have Chicken McNuggets for dinner every night of the week. OR grow a uterus in a dish for a science project.
*I wanted to remind you that November is Fight for Preemies Month, and if you want to sign up, you can go here and do so. Come ON and DO IT PEOPLE. The day we’re all blogging is November 17, so mark your calendars to avoid rally around my blog that day.
Bloggers UNITE! Or UNTIE!
*I am pretty sure that someone drugged my tea today. Since I no longer drink coffee because I am now a better person (read: it makes me nauseous so I must feel sanctimonious so as not to cry) I drink tea, and I think someone put something in it. Maybe The Daver is trying to kill me! That MUST be it.
*Wait, why would he kill me? Then he’d have to do his own laundry again and LORD KNOWS he hates doing laundry almost as much as he is allergic to doing anything around the house.
*Then who is trying to kill me? Maybe it’s my neighbors, who are mad that I didn’t quite get all of the leaves off of my lawn. Nah, that’s a lame reason to spike my tea. Wait, does tea expire? This tea is awfully old. Maybe it’s growing mold and I’m actually tripping the live fantastic.
Either way, holy crap!
There’s a hedgehog afoot!

Hides apps, so it rocks. No more FarmVille, Farmtown, quizzes, etc.
This is me, humping you.
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. Ok, that comment had zero snark in it…are we in the Twilight Zone?
No, I know. I feel all weird not being snarky and goofy about something for once. We can do it! I feel good, though. I was telling Mimi about how much good she was doing and she wasn’t even a year old and maybe I just cried a little.
Because that’s so cool.
Oh, man. Is it cute picture day or what? My biological clock is more like a biological gong now, thanks! Even the kittehs made me go “bong!”
That cat has a really smelly ass. But he’s cute and very loving, so there’s that.
I had eggs every meal yesterday even though I’m allergic. I even had eggnog for desert. Be afraid, be very afraid. *fart*
nom nom nom nom EGGNOG nom nom nom nom
SPRAY SOME AIR FRESHENER, MOTHERFUCKER!
Random? Umm.. .Flesh Gordon showed up at my house via Netflix. Something is afoot, indeed.
*looks around suspiciously*
Something afoot indeed. LOCK YOUR DOORS.
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.
And Weeds is awesome. If you havent seen it- you should also check out The United States of Tara…
The swine flu sucks harder than it should. United States of Tara, eh? I’m ON it.
Random things. Hmmm…
*I bought a chair at a thrift store. 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.
Hope this flu passes soon and you at long last feel better!
I’m the world’s worst decorator, so I’ll flock to your blog and happily eat up your advice. PLEASE HELP ME.
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.
Random? By the time this kid is 2 months old, I should be able to touch type with either hand, yell at older boy, and cook. WHILE nursing. Multitasking, ftw.
Multitasking is the only way I get anything done. Ever.
And that is useful information. *files it away for later*
Hmm random is driving to work in a car. Driving to work after lunch on a motorcycle. Man I hate Michigan weather wait it’ll probably be snowing on my ride home. DANG IT.. I knew it was to perfect to ride the motorcycle again. Maybe I should run home and drive the Mustang back… I just can’t decide what vehicle to drive…
Hmm facebook.. evil evil.. Ohh wait my wife uses facebook and is addicted to farmtown. She likes sending donkey’s to people. Is there something subliminal about sending someone a donkey.. Like here have an ass.
I can see the appeal in sending an ass to people. Now I sort of get it. I guess I have enough online commitments that I probably don’t need any more and it would stress me out.
I, um, don’t do facebook. I would probably never get away from the computer. But now I kind of want to find a pink sheep.
Facebook is highly useful to a point. I prefer blogging, truthfully. I totally NEED a pink sheep. For reals.
Woohoo…Random is my favorite flavor!
Hhhmm lets see, I cant swim or even float yet insited on a pool in my back yard when I moved to Phoenix because you know its kinda hot here. Oh yeah, I love Church’s chicken but never KFC. Feel better soon!
I now need to try Church’s Chicken. I haven’t had the honor. KFC is full of The NASTY.
Please let me know when you figure out the Farmville thing. Also, please tell me how someone could “kidnap” you and pretend take you to some awesome place. Don’t tease me. If you want to take me to Paris, just ASK.
Baby, let’s run away together.
My ass totally got lost driving home. On a drive that is seriously three blocks. I. Am. Awesome.
Oh, and I learned my husband didn’t believe me about our required $3 million in car insurance coverage until he talked to the lady about my wreck. I totally wanted to punch him in the face for not believing me. Who makes that shit up?!
I’d get lost trying to drive out of a paper bag. I’m not smart.
Little boxes on a hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky, little boxes on the hillside and they all look just the same (everyone join in?) There’s a red one and a….
Thank you Aunt Becky, I now I have that song in my head.
Great show…
And I’m always random…I have ADHDOS (you know, attention deficit disorder oooh shiny!)
Now what was I doing??
Hahaha! ADHDOS! Bwahahahaha!
That’s brilliance, right there.
Yeah… I really am not on the ball with the facebook game thing… took me weeks to figure out what the eff mafia wars was!
Facebook sort of eludes me too. I’m VERY slow on the uptake there, and I’m not sure I’ll ever really get it. I guess that’s a sign that I’m an old person now.
*sighs*
I just joined a group or became a fan of something that was anti-farm town. I also don’t do mafia wars or best friends contests. Life is complicated enough, I just want to be on facebook and see my friends and family, right? Isn’t that why I signed up? Oh yea it is….
I saw that group and nearly died laughing. The Anti-Farmtown group. Seriously, that’s some good stuff right there.
Random…hmmm…
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’d much prefer beating people up and stealing to milking cows and gathering crops. That just sounds STRESSFUL. Beating people sounds like stress RELIEF.
I don’t do Facebook so Farmville? is totally foreign. I was going to workout today (yha sure you were like yesterday and the day before and…)instead I had a Homestyle chicken sandwich and now my pants are tight.
**by the way Weeds is the tits
Doug Wilson: Andy, I smuggled her here. I think that merits some cockamole on her faceadilla
Bwahahaha! I haven’t started the new season yet, I just finished Season 4, and I’m all anxious to see what happens next! I hate cliffhanger endings.
Random today:
I may be sneaking out of the office to go get another super plus xl towel sized tampon. kill me.
Dude. I freaking HATE those tampons. Riding the cotton camel. BLECH.
This is why I love my Diva. If you use a tampon, you can use a Diva. It’s not really up the Auntie Becky aisle though – requires much familiarity with female regions, and a willingness to well – wait, I’m probably giving you the horrors already.
I totally know about a zillion people who would happily marry their Diva cups and I am so happy that they’re happy, but I ride my cotton camel and I, well, I can’t say I LIKE it, but I…tolerate it.
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.
Hoping the hubby and I can find some time to lock ourselves away tonight….
Got married on Friday the 13th…happy about tomorrow.
I totally hope you get laid tonight.
I’m highly scheduled today. No random allowed.
Except that our dog, who runs off daily & comes back in time to meet the boys bus daily, ran off yesterday & has not yet returned. There was freezing rain yesterday so probably she found a warm dry place to wait it out but the rain is over. I’m not happy our routine oriented pooch is acting randomly.
I hate it when routine oriented anything acts randomly.
Fucking Farmville. If someone wants to waste time, play a real game.. like Warcraft!
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.
Fucking Farmville. It’s all Farmville’s fault, SOMEHOW!
I think we should sing a song “BLAME FARMVILLE.”
I think I caught swine flu from reading your blog. And the best part? My OB vaccinated me for swine flu WHILE I HAD SWINE FLU. My fever hadn’t shown up yet, so he thought it would be fine. 6 days later I’m still not back to normal. Bleh.
Also, I blocked all those stupid Facebook game updates. My life is so much better now.
Also, I want to watch Weeds but I can’t stay up long enough past my daughter’s bedtime and it’s not 2.5 year old approved. One day, when my kids are in college, I might get a chance.
I’m pretty sure you caught swine flu from my blog too. Sorry about that.
hmm fish wrangler is wayyy cool on FB ! Farmville just annoys me.
Todays random thought – saw my first christmas tree for this year and wondered why it was up so early, ITS ONLY NOVEMBER.
I need a mani/pedi before I go to the tropics tomorrow ….
Oooh! I need a pedicure so badly that I’m pretty sure I’m going to be the laughingstock of the salon when I finally drag my sorry ass in there.
I hate all Facebook “applications”. Want to avoid all the hubub??? On any application posting, point to the top right hand corner, there will be a drop down to block that application. VOILA! No longer bothered by the annoying posts about finding coins or harvesting crops, etc. It is truly wonderful!
SCORE.
So you can hide farmtown forever, you know. No menagerie required. I’m melanieruth78, on facebook.
FB BFF FOREVER.
I was off work for five days, and now that I’m back to work, I wish I could be back home again.
The only thing with being home is that my husband calls me a billion times a day for no reason. Why does he do this?
My oldest daughter finally decided on a college, and I am happy about it.
Now I just have to worry about getting the small one in preschool, with state budget cuts they are talking about getting rid of/or drastically cutting the free preschool program for 4 year olds.
How messed up is that?
That’s totally messed up, dude. I’m sorry.
Weeds is full of awesome sauce. We watched the first two seasons on DVD until we got ComCast to give us Showtime for free. We threatened to cancel our service and when they asked how they could keep us as a customer, I said free Showtime and HBO…suckers!
THAT is what I need to do. Good call, dude. GOOD CALL.
You fucking make fun of Farmville AND steal my baby to put a Hedgehog hat on?
Bitch.
I adore the Facebook games because they keep me sane at work. That is all.
That would be MY baby, you whore
I was just thinking about how I had nothing to lose when I was in the studio audience of the Price Is Right and should have told the world who won. It was about 10 years ago so nobody really cares anymore, but think of what damage I could have done using the internet and spreading the word that some Asian kid wearing a gray Boston t-shirt won. I remembered his name then…but now, it’s gone. He won lots and lots. I just wish I would have told people then…….I had nothing to lose.
It’s funny how Twitter and blogging has changed everything, huh.
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.
Okay, so now I think I see where you’re coming from. I think I finally get it. It’s like blogging.
i have a shitload of different kinds of chocolate in my cupboard:
unsweetened
semi-sweet
bittersweet
dark
white
cocoa
M&M’s
Junior Mints
Rosettes
i’m like a drug dealer, except i don’t sample my product. i got what you need, baby. first one’s free, then you gotta pay…
I’d cut you for those Junior Mints. I swear I would.
LOL! Yes, Farmville. Do. Not. Get.
On another note, love Diet Coke and Weeds.
There we go. Random!
JS @ motherlawyercrazywoman.blogspot.com
Random is full of The Awesome. Just like Diet Coke and Weeds.
Hate the Farmville. It is a time-sucker and I have enough time suckers in my life.
Weeds and Glee-two shows that make me tingle in excitement when a new one comes on.
I’m trying to join the blog catalog site, but having a mite of trouble. I’ll raise my voice, whether I get signed up or not, on Nov. 17, for our tiniest.
Oh, those babies are scrumptious!
Sorry about the coffee. I’m a coffee crackhead.
I miss coffee so much that it hurts. And YAY for fighting for babies! I hope that you can get signed up.
Hey. For me it’s not just today in which I feel random and drugged. EVERY TIME I wake up, I have to try and remember what time of the year it is. Not “where am I and what time is it?”
No.
What time of YEAR is it?
That’s bad, I think.
No. I don’t think so. I think it’s good.
That cat definitely reminds me of being drugged, before I went to drug rehab, and me sleeping on the couch.
I can see that.
I Haaaaaaaaate Stupid Farmville. And Stupid Mafia Wars. Because both apps eat up all the status updates and I really don’t care that so-and-so is at level 72 when I could be reading minutae about other people’s lives.
Also, I almost fell out of bed this morning and saved myself by skinning my knuckles on the wall. Which I don’t remember being painful as a little Brooke, but now? SHIT OW! Who invented Shampoo or Soap or Hand Sanitizer or knuckles anyway?! (Random. Also: Dumbass)
Knuckles are for sissies.
Debbie Downer here.
It’s been about 5 weeks since I had the piggies living inside me. I’m STILL coughing.
Wah-woooh
You have every right to be a Debbie Downer. Also, the BEST SKIT EVER.
I can’t stop saying hamthrax. Seriously, I am calling people so I can be the first to spring it on them. And I have an appointment for hamthrax vaccine next Tuesday. No oinking or boinking until then. See? Random sex talk. I am good at random. Did hamthrax make you lose weight? Should I skip the shot?
I don’t own a scale, so I can’t be sure. Perhaps? I’m also on Topamax which makes everything taste like broiled ass.
YAY for hamthrax vaccine!
Random, eh? OK. I can’t stop listening to the new Lady Gaga song, even when I’m not actually watching the video. I can hear it in mah brain constantly! I’m itchy to watch last night’s episode of Glee, which I nicely have been waiting to watch until my husband comes home so we can watch it together, and I wish I had a cute little hedgehog. That’s about it. Yep.
Glee rules and I don’t understand Lady Gaga at ALL.
A pink sheep? Amy has been taking LSD while playing Farmville.
My random question for the day is: Where has Mucinex been all my life and why haven’t I taken it for a cough before? Mucinex rules. Mucinex and Vicodin – now I might be seeing pink sheep, and I’m not on FB.
I require a pink sheep immediately and Vicodin is lovely. Mucinex is also lovely. Works very well. Also makes you see trails if you take too much of it. NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT MR. DEA AGENT.
No wonder they carded me at the grocery store when I bought more. Yes, I no longer get carded for alcohol, but for cough medicine. How’s that for winning at life?
Doesn’t that make you feel nefarious when you’re all I GOT DELSYM MOTHERFUCKER. Oh…wait. It’s COUGH SYRUP.
A bit of random.
Went to the Dr. for the results of my first ever ECG – heart is fine, must take more thyroid meds
Just got over a nasty head cold, how pathetic of me, I could have gotten hamthrax but no, I get a head cold. Snotty mcsnotville at my house.
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.
Oops wait, I am at work reading Aunt Becky . . . at least I don’t complain about how busy I am.
I owe you an email which I will get out tomorrow. Thyroid meds. BLECH.
Also, cheap toilet paper sucks hairy balls.
That cat playing with the wii and doing the stuffed bunny? Truly disturbing. Kudo’s to you, my friend!
That cat is very disturbing. He’s also a total love. If anyone in the house is upset, he comes RUNNING to love up on them. It’s adorable, if not kind of suffocating because he weighs 16 pounds.
So I became friends with you on Facebook today because you told me to and I’m nothing if not compliant.
Anyhoo, according to FB you are in Chicago?? Me too!
And I also don’t get Farmville.
We’re a match made in heaven.
And that, my friends, is my randomness for the day.
Dude. That is TOTALLY a match made in heaven. We should totally hang out.
Yes, please! That would ROCK!
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.
I think cloth diapers are pretty cool too, actually. I don’t use them, but I see the appeal.
What’s random today? For dinner, Little J ate cereal, Big J ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and I had noodles with butter. That’s pretty random, right? (and oh so nutritious!)
I don’t get the farm/vampire/mafia crap on Facebook, either.
95% of Facebook is a mystery to me. But hey, that’s cool. What can you do, right?
I saw a tractor in a carwash yesterday. Really wished I had a phone with a camera, because I would have spammed everyone.
I hid farmtown a long time ago. I don’t miss it. I don’t miss Mafia Wars either.
And I’d love to be your friend on facebook. I have no idea how I’d tell you how to find me, except by name search. Good luck with that. Elizabeth Leonard isn’t an uncommon name. In my profile picture I’m wearing a sari and my kids are in halloween costumes… I seem to remember trying to set something up so you could search for lizardbabies but that might have been myspace, and I haven’t done the myspace thing for a long time.
Dude, I SO wish you’d had a camera there. That would be a wicked cool picture.
My name is Becky Sherrick Harks. FB BFF! YAY.
Oh I think every day is random for me. Just wanted to say a big huge THANK YOU for visiting my blog and commenting. It means a lot to me!
I play all those silly games on FB and my friend accuses me of being a fake farmer. But I have tried to stop myself but I’m apparently addicted.
I was addicted to Bejeweled for AGES, so it’s all good. And of course I’d visit your blog! I always like to try and visit everyone. I can’t always keep up, but I try.
I will join you in a class action against swine flue. Let me know where to be and when. I can bring lots of snot.
We’ll have to bring that as evidence.
You make me pee my pants. Thank you.
So long as you’re wearing a Depends, we’re all good.
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.
Isn’t she nom nom nom-y?
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.
I’m now caught up and wishing desperately that I had Showtime.
*shakes fists at sky*
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!
I’ll have to check it OUT.
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.
ALL the stupid crap on Facebook drives me crazy! Farm town, sorority life, mafia wars…wtf? WHO CARES?
I heart you.
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.
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
I’m ALL OVER IT. Thanks, duder!
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!
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 think my cat is a freak of nature, but he’s freaking adorable, isn’t he?
I really, REALLY don’t know how you can say no to that face. I’d be all, “chicken nuggets for life and a pony!”
I already promised her a Porsche in the NICU. I’m screwed. Those eyes will get the kid whatever she wants.
Fuck Farmtown, what about Mafia Wars… why does everyone ask for “help”? I mean, it’s a fucking FACEBOOK game.
Apparently, you need to recruit people to further your addiction.
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.
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.
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 am pretty sure that between you and I, we could rule the world with all of the people we know. That’s full of The Awesome.
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.
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.
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?!
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.
Dude.
The People’s Court.
I once had a naughty dream about Judge Whapner.
Don’t judge me.
I am TOTALLY telling Twitter.
FACEBOOK FACT: You can mute applications. And then never read about timmy’s lost black sheep ever ever again.
Unless you’re my sister, and you like to read those updates so you can mock people.
I like your sister a lot right now.
I prefer silent mockery. But then again, I blog daily so who is the loser, really? Probably me.
Weeds does rock. We have watched the first three seasons from Netflix and tonight at ‘wine-thirty’ oclock we begin season 4!!
how sad when that is the hightlight of my week.
{sigh}
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.
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.
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.
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 need to try watching Middle. Score! Thanks, duder!
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.
