I Had To...

I realize I haven't written in a while, and the longer I go without writing, the harder a time I have coming up with something to write about.
So this is still about nothing.
It is the middle of the afternoon in the middle of January, and I am about at my lowest at this point. I hate this time of year. It sucks the life out of me. I could sleep the next two months and be happy.
I just had a nap (which I am perfecting on my days off at this time of year) and woke up NEEDING sugar. I have this cookie batter which has been sitting in my fridge and... voila.... I popped some of that crap into the oven, and then ate cookies so bloody hot afterwards, I had to slide them onto a plate and use a fork. I have 3rd degree burns to my tongue right now, I'm sure.
So here is the aftermath. I ate 2 1/2 and now I'm done. I guess the girls at work are getting some cookies tomorrow....

Happy January everyone. Here's to a New Year filled with good things-- like maybe the declaration that we'll be skipping Januaries from now on. Haha.

Introducing.....

I got him at the grocery store. $3.99-- half price. I needed something new in my room. I got him home, unwrapped him from his crummy little plastic shield and "sproing"... out popped... Sideshow Bob. I don't normally name plants but I couldnt' help it with this guy. He now stares at me from my dresser. I kinda like it. :P

New Pretties

I like bling. Especially in the form of earrings.

Here are my newest. Just felt like posting them.

"Bling, Bling." "Who's there?"




And thanks to Shelby for helping out....


I need to stop buying everything in blue. Can someone remind me of that next time?

It's One Minute Past Too Late

Why, oh why can't I give up and go to sleep?

When I was younger, I was the last person to go to sleep at a sleepover. Always. Keeping my eyes propped open with toothpicks almost, "just in case" something exciting were to happen. I still do it to this day.

Like now. It's 1:12 am. But what IF, I go to sleep, I miss something? Like the house down the street explodes and I sleep through the firetrucks? Like my cat decides to start a masterpiece painting on the floor in my bedroom? Like an email comes in telling me that I AM the lucky winner of the "you're up the latest" contest on the internet and I miss the million dollar payoff. (Wait, if I check my spam, I probably have one of those.) Like the moon turns an beautiful irridescent green and I miss the colour washing over the walls in my bedroom.... all cause I was SLEEPING.

Someone please come and physically knock me out. It's one minute past too late....

A Good One....

Mother Nature.... You Jackass.

Oh, it's pretty now... but give it a month and I'll be cursing like a trucker.




















Even this tree is screaming... "I'm not reeeaaaadddyyyy!!! I still have llleeeaaaavvveeessss"!



















Oh well. If there's one thing to be said about living in this climate... at least I don't have to check my goddamn shoes for scorpions before I put them on. So yeah, I guess I'll take the damn snow.

The Taser

I need to post this as I thought this was maybe one of the funniest things I've read in a while. I was almost crying reading it.... Enjoy. And if you don't laugh, what the hell is wrong with you??? :)


Yup, only a guy would try this!

Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!! Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.
Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5' long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'
What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...?
I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dipshit,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and . . HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE HELL!!!
I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.
Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor.. A three second burst would be considered conservative?
IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!
A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling.
Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!!
P.S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it! 'If you think education is difficult, try being stupid.
