Food blogs. I LOVE them. Maybe its because I love food, and I'm a fat cow, and looking at all that good stuff just turns me on. Haha. I never really viewed them, until about 6 months or so ago. I came across one, then another and soon, my favorites had a food blog folder with dozens of blogs listed in it! My favorite ones are baking ones. I see so many yummy cakes, cookies and other sweets, they make my mouth water, and my creative juices flow. (That sounds kinda nasty, but its not!) Now that I see all these things, it makes me want to try making them too!

I have tried a few things. Like cream cheese sheet cake and NJ coffee cake from Big Red Kitchen, they were yummy! I've made cookies from a recipe from Amanda over at i am mommy & i am baker, they too were very good! I also made my sugar cookie recipe and made a royal icing recipe from Annie's Eats, again, good stuff. There are many more recipes and ideas that I want to try.

After reading all these blogs, viewing their wonderful pictures, reading the recipes of all that yummy food...it leaves me wondering a few things. Like, how can these food bloggers afford to buy all this stuff to bake so many things so often? It gets costly I'm sure. How do they not weigh 400lbs? With all that good food, umm I'd be as big as my house! Does their family get tired of sweets & good eats? (is that possible?)

If any food bloggers read my goofy little blog here, please let me know the answers to these questions :) And, please pass this blog on to other food bloggers, so I can get their answers too! Curious minds want to know. I'd love to do a food blog some day...if only I liked to cook! I do love to bake though...so who knows, maybe its in the cards for me someday.

Thats it for now. Toodles!

Thongs? Seriously?

I remember in the olden days, THONGS meant flip flops, shoes, you know ...the kinds that have the flat bottom, with the little strap over the top of your foot with the thing that goes between your big & second toe. The shoes that smack your foot as you walk making a lot of noise, which was sometimes annoying, but when you are young, its kind of cool.

Now-a-days, THONGS, mean something totally different. Its a tiny piece of fabric with a string of some kind attached. The fabric part covers your cooter (yay right) and the string goes up your ass crack. Seriously? Maybe I'm just old, or just fat...or a combo of the two, but that does not sound pleasant at all. Its like butt floss. I guess everyone wears them now, big or little framed booties even. Totally not my cup of tea. I can't see paying for a tiny thing like that, only to get a wedgie for the day.

What is the point of a thong anyways? To make you feel sexy? How can something in your crack make you feel that way?? I'd be constantly trying to undo it. To make you have no panty lines? I know a much easier way, go COMMANDO! Easy, and no butt pickin' required from your thong. Maybe I'm old fashioned, old school, just old.

If I wore a thong, it would disappear in my grand canyon crack. I'd probably need a search party to find it. Just thought you'd like that wonderful visual. :)

Hey, isn't there even a "Thong Song" out there somewhere? I kinda remember my teens singing it at one time and I was baffled that someone made a song about buttfloss.

I think its very funny. Yesterday, I did a post about bras. I also had words like booby, tassels, and tit in it....and you should have seen the traffic I got here! Many people apparently googled some naughty stuff with those words, and my blog came up LOL. They visited, and I bet they were pretty disappointed that they didn't get to see any of that kind of stuff. I had more visits from google yesterday, then I have by everyone that reads my blog in a whole month pretty much. I wonder if I'll get some more now that I've mentioned thongs, and butts, etc. Sick people. Hahaha.

Thats all for now friends...Toodles :)

What color bra are YOU wearing?

The latest thing on facebook right now is for women to post what color bra they are wearing in their status. I believe its to promote breast cancer awareness. So, what color bra do you have on? Is it animal print? Purple? Black, red? I can't really answer this question. Why? Because, most of the time, if I am lucky (and at home), I'm not wearing one! Or, sometimes I am only wearing my tassels :)

Speaking of tassels...I was going to post a picture of me in mine, but that would be very inappropriate, not to mention a tad bit disturbing to my readers LOL! Then I thought I'd find a picture online, to give you an idea of what they are, in case you didn't know, but well, most of those kind of pics are rather naughty. I did come across an interesting t-shirt though. If your booby tassels are located where they are on this t-shirt, your lift up bra has taken it a bit to far.

Bras. I hate them. They are restricting, and they drive me crazy. Especially underwires. Oy. Ever have one break, and have a wire poking you in the tit all day? Very painful. Bras must have been invented by a man, as a torture device for women. Man probably invented pantyhose too. Bastards.

Well, thats it for now I guess. Please pray there isn't to much snow tonight that it cancels school for a second day, the girls are driving me nuts.

Toodles!
Oh, and if you are wondering...I don't really wear tassels :)

Things that make you say "Hmmm"

Last winter, I had cabin fever, big time. We were stuck home often, because Bree had several ear infections. I got pretty tired of playing with kids toys and watching kids shows, and being stuck in our tiny house for so long...it made me a little crazy. So, one day, Bree went down for a nap. Her duck toys were sitting out on the floor, and my craziness took over. I made a duck movie. Yep, I'm totally weird! After watching this you'll be saying, "hmmm" and also, "this chick is a total fruitloop!" LOL
Enjoy, the movie...

Maybe I should think about making the sequel this winter...

Toodles!

2 yr old Teenager

Ahhh isn't it nice when older siblings teach the younger ones things? Why yes it is, if its a good thing they are teaching... Unfortunatly, my older girls have taught Bree a total teenager saying... I asked her something earlier while giving her a bath, I don't even remember what it is now because of her shocking (but kinda funny) answer...She said, "WhatEVER!" Oh boy, she's going to be a rebel I have a feeling. Haha

In other homefront news... We haven't been able to do some real grocery shopping for a while due to money issues, so we've been using up what we have in the pantry, and getting important things like milk, diapers, bread etc as needed. I've been keeping a running grocery list of things we need, so its ready when we are able. Holy cow, the list would probably be easier if I made a list of what we do NOT need since we are out of like everything! LOL To bad most of the things are going to have to wait a few more weeks, other things have come up that will be taking up the money in the next few weeks. I think we better start enjoying Ramen noodles, Mac & Cheese, and PB&J's :)

Its almost a month now since Kelsey lost her class ring, and still no sign of it. Grrr. This makes me very angry.

My darling 9 yr old came home today with a homework assignment, a pain in the rear one, that is going to be time consuming. So I told her she should get started, she said, "But it isn't due until the 7th!" Well guess what sugarpie, that is only 2 days away! I told her to get working on it so we aren't rushing at the last minute. Guess what...she forgot her book at school. Grrrr. So now she has to do it all tomorrow so its going to be a long stressful night of homework hell. Anyone wanna come enjoy the experience with me?

I got some stuff done around the house today that needed to be done yay me! The girls room (Jilly & Bree's) was so messy with all the Christmas stuff and the stuff Jilly brought home from her dads, you could barely walk through there (like my living room!). Jilly's bed was full of stuff too, since she's been sleeping with me since she got back. When Bill works nights, Jilly likes to sleep in my bed and kick me in the side and head throught the night. She's lucky I love her enough to put up with it haha. Anyways, I got the room presentable, I took a bunch of stuff down to the basement for now. It all needs to be out of the way anyways for when the bunkbeds get here (have I mentioned how excited I am about getting those?!) Once the beds are up, I'll start going through toys and putting stuff in the room again. I also got the living room picked up and vacuumed...which was much over due. Jilly got a Paperoni for Christmas and I had stupid paper pellets all over the living room. It was driving me nuts. Laundry is even caught up, folded and put away, except for the one load that is in the dryer now. That is exciting news for me.

I tried watching a movie this afternoon. I got maybe 1/2 way, and had to turn it off, I couldn't hear a damn word that was being said because my 3 girls are loud mouths. So frustrating! Guess I'll have to watch it when they are not home, or when they are sleeping...or when I duct tape their mouths shut (just kidding...).

Oh, wanna see something kinda cool? Look at these pics...the first is me as a child, the next is Jilly when she was around the same age, and the last is of Bree now...



See any resemblance? :)


I guess I've probably bored you to tears already, so I'll just say...Toodles!

Super Model Girl!

Remember that song? Who sang it, wasn't it RuPaul? LOL I've been singing it today.

As I mentioned yesterday I believe, Jilly brought home a bunch of stuff from her dads house. One of the things was a HUGE bag of clothing, when I say huge, I mean those big enormous black lawn bags...and it was filled to the very top. Its all her clothing, and some of her old stuff that no longer fits, they thought maybe Bree could use some of it later...and its one less thing they have to move to Norway with them. Jilly has been dressing up Bree in many different things today. Some of the things Bree would let me take her picture in, but most she would not. Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure:






Later today, Jilly had her dressed up in a skirt thing and a halter top, that used to belong to a girl sized barbie type doll. Then Bree did a little something, to beautify herself...which I will show you. Excuse the quality of the photo, I had to crop it quite a bit, because her halter slide down and you could see her little girly parts...I didn't want some perv viewing her goods. Unfortunately, you don't get to see the full effect of her beautification, it went all down her arm too. Just imagine it...


Thats it for now...I hope you enjoyed the pics. :) Toodles!

Jilly's home!

Jilly has returned from her few weeks at her dads. She was here Christmas Eve night and half of Christmas Day, but other then that she's been at her dads since Dec. 22.. Things are already back to normal, she's eating us out of house and home! I swear, I don't know where she puts the food! I hope she is lucky enough to always be tiny and not end up a fat hefer like her mother.

Bree was so very excited upon Jilly's return home. She's been playing with her all evening. Jilly brought home a gazillion stuffed animals and other toys from her dads, which has Bree in 7th heaven. Not me though, where in the hell am I going to put all these stuffed animals? Right now, they are covering my living room floor, I have to wade through them.

My darling Bree has taken some late naps the last 3 or so days, and the last 3 or so days I'm so very exhausted and needing to go to sleep and she is still going strong....Like NOW. Its 11:20 at night for Gods sake GO TO SLEEP! I can barely keep my eyes open. Yawn.

Its CHILLY out. Once little Miss Bree goes to sleep I need to take stupid dog out to pee, and freeze our rears off. I can't freakin wait. So help me God, if she stands around out there eating turdsicles while I'm waiting on her freezing my butt off, I'll go postal on her!

Thats it for now, I'm going to go plead with Bree to shut her eyes...Toodles!
