And the award for the worst aunt ever.....

Sometimes your wrong.

I got my niece the cutest outfit for her birthday.  However, the skinny jeans were a little too skinny.  Rather then exchanging for a different size she changed the whole entire outfit!

My adult brain should have told me that it's HER birthday and SHE should get something SHE likes.  Instead my immaturity shined through like a high beam during hunting season and said "it's hideous".  I literally said "It's hideous"...out loud...to her face!  Don't worry I'm not completely vicious. It didn't take long for me to feel so guilty I had to put my big girl pants on and go apologize. Luckily she's way more mature than me and quickly forgave me.

What makes us project onto the little ones in our lives when we should be helping them find their own path?

Confessing Thanksgiving edition


 * It's not really Friday.

* I was gonna apologize for slacking on the posts.

* But then I realized I shouldn't apologize for being out living life.

* I had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

* I'm so thankful for all of my wonderful family.

* Even the ones who couldn't make the smallest effort to be with their own flesh and blood.

* But I ain't bitter.

* Love you guys!

* I loathe "Black Friday" shopping.

* I'd rather pay double than fight those crowds.

* Maybe this is why I have no money?

Hoo are you?





NightOwlCrafting




1. Do you ever burp out loud in private or public? Yes and yes, of course the ones in private are usually a lot louder.


2. How often do you get sick each year? I don't get sick that often but when I do it seems to linger f-o-r-e-v-e-r!


3. Would you rather paint a room in your house yourself, or have someone else do it for you? Is that someone else a professional?  Do I have to pay them?  How many years experience?  If there is anyway I can get out of work I will.


4. If you get 30 minutes to yourself, what do you do? Watch tv.  Exciting answer I know but now that I'm living with my brother I don't get the remote that often.


5. Do you allow people to wear shoes in your house? Yes, I don't like when people have you take your shoes off.  I would respect their wishes but I probably wouldn't hang out at their house too often.

When your down

You know how you always wish you could stay in bed all weekend and just lounge in your p.j.'s and relatively do nothing?  Well I did.  And it sucked.  My back was literally trying to kill me all weekend long.  It hurt to stand, sit, roll over, lay down, cough, laugh, sneeze, in general anything that required movement or to stay still.  In honor of this weekends pain I am tweeking my Monday Music and giving you Monday Movies.  My top 5 movies to watch while stuck in bed (at least the ones that kept me sane this weekend).

5. Karate Kid 1, 2, & 3, and the new one with Jaden Smith ~  The fly swatter is my fav scene..."uhhh that's nasty"

4. Young Guns 1 & 2 ~ "Best dollar eighty I ever spent!"

3. Prince of Persia ~  Jake.  Gyllenhaal.

2.  The Man From Snowy River & Return to Snowy River ~  Love me some Jim Craig!  "There's a dozen good brood mares in there, I'll be back for them....and for whatever else is mine"

1. and my #1 that is getting me through life right now if you haven't seen I highly recommend it.  If your around me for more than 5 minutes you have heard the quotes.....BABY MAMA!  ~ "Then I realized that I am, um, I'm man-no, I'm ma-ok, manorexic. & it's really hard because she's so fat, & I love Christopher so much and he's fat, and I'm afraid that the baby's gonna be fat & it's just me and two fatties."

Happy Birthday Edition

Happy birthday Toni! Thanks for everything you do for me!

Suck it Wendy's



* I changed the knob around on my bedroom.

*I told everyone it was because the kids kept walking in while I was getting dressed.

* Really it's so I could lock my brother's kids OUT.

* So I could sleep in.

* I have yet to try it.

* I think they'll just bang on the door until I get up.

* I went to Wendy's for lunch today.

* I don't go there that often because I'm trying to eat healthier.

* Or because they always screw my order up.

* It's one of those 2 options.

* While waiting in the drive thru I imagined throwing my burger at the front window if it wasn't made correctly how I ordered it.

* This is seriously the stuff that goes through my mind.

* It was probably the best burger I've ever had from Wendy's.

* But I still think it would be funny to throw one at their window.

* I may need to look into anger management classes.

Just dance, it'll be ok


So it's technically 48 minutes past Friday right now, but I have a good excuse for posting late....and I'll share it as soon as I think of one.  Today's confession is inspired by an aged 30-45 singles dance I attended tonight and here's what I found out.

High school never ends.
We're the same old cliques, just older.
The loners, drama geeks, and jocks were all there tonight.
I don't want to be single anymore.
Yet I found myself cringing everytime a "boy" aproached me.
Even turned my back to him if he tried to join our dance circle.
Does that mean I'm only going for the dancing and punch?
That's sad.
I'm going again tomorrow night.
Is that sad?

So far so good.

Big Mama


Happy to report I did not wake up in a mess of Snicker wrappers all hung over from Halloween.  In fact I wasn't really even tempted.  I've been enjoying the scale numbers going down I just didn't want to ruin it.

Let's review:
Week 1 ~ drink more water
Week 2 ~ run 1 mile 3 times a week
Week 3 ~ no mindless snacks

Week 4 ~ Let's see, how can I punish myself this week?  This week I'm going to add Yoga.  Since I work during all the yoga classes at the gym I'll have to do my sweet yoga dvd I have at home.  Hopefully this will help with the tightness I have in my legs and lower back since I've picked up my 1 mile run.  If not maybe I'll add massage to my Just One Change....maybe I'll do that anyway.

Speak Now

"Real life is a funny thing, you know.  In real life saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial.  So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.  But lately what I've begun to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything.  There is a time for silence.  There is a time for waiting your turn.  But if you know how you feel, and you clearly know what you need to say, you'll know it." ~ Taylor Swift

So here are my top 5 songs from the new album "Speak Now", and a little lyrical sampling.

5. Mine ~ "you are the best thing, that's ever been mine"

4. Better Than Revenge ~ "she's not a saint, and she's not what you think, she's an actress but she's better known for things that she does on the mattress"


3. Speak Now ~ "all eyes on me, horrified looks from everyone in the room, but I'm only looking at you"

2. Mean ~ "someday I'll be livin' in a big ole city, and all you're ever gonna be is mean, and a liar and pathetic and alone in life and mean, why you gotta be so mean"

1. Back to December ~ "you gave me roses and I left them there to die, you gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye"


Bonus song (puh-leeeze! I can't pick just 5): Haunted ~ "it's getting dark and it's all so quiet and I can't trust anything now, come on, come on, don't leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out"
