I'm Sorry, That's Incorrect. It Was Not In The Form Of A Question.

From Les -

1: Which "era" was you? I hit the teen screams in the 80's, (oooh - the painted on denim, sparkly headbands on the forehead, tuxedo shirts and, yes, the Great BIG HAIR!!!) and I'm thinking it was you talked about your "embarassing heart-throb music", no...?

I graduated in 91 but I'll always feel like an 80's kid. I had the tidal wave bangs, stirrup pants, Cabbage Patch Kids, LA Style Hairspray (I'm fairly certain my crowd of friends {of the male and female persuasion} contributed significantly to the ozone hole), Headbanger's Ball (with sucky Adam Curry who by the way apparantly created some Podcast program. So some VJs DO have a life after MTV. Who'da thunk it?), mad crush on Jani Lane and oh hell, I'll admit, all of the hairband "metal" groups. I was also into cruising the mall and actually buying something, watching DeGrasssi Jr. High but the old school version. Oh and 21 Jumpstreet? I had posters of Johnny Depp and Kirk Cameron on my wall. Oh those Growing Pains. I could go on for hours. I'll delve more into my 80's another time if anyone cares.

2: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I have always wanted to be a mom. I didn't go to college because I couldn't afford it, didn't want to owe the government money for 30 years and frankly, I knew I was going to be a SAHM and why waste the money going to school, getting a degree and not using it for 18-20 years? Yeah. I'll go to school when they are in school and we'll see what happens.

3: Do you feel "grown up", yet?

Sometimes I feel like an old soul or like I need a morning and afternoon nap (ala my Gramma Lulu) but for the most part, I still feel like a kid. My kids have a huge part of that on their shoulders. It's all their fault and that's ok.



From GrayMama -

Paper or plastic?

It's a complicated question with many factors and scenerios:

Is there ice cream, yogurt or milk involved?
Are there children involved?
Do you have to climb stairs?
Do you need an extra 4 sets of hands thanks to kids?

I tell ya, it's not so easy.

I go with paper bags, with the handles if possible cause those rock. No handles, then paper IN the plastic so I can carry 10 up at a time while corralling Monkey Boy up the steps in front of me. If it's late at night and I can't fill a whole paper bag, I'll go with plastic. ALWAYS seperate the beef from the chicken. Always.

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...

She Was Heartbroken

After reading about Kim and Reggie breaking up, the Monkey had a moment of silence to reflect on the love that is no longer there. And then she ate part of the page. Fiber! She needs fiber ya know! She wasn't as into the Saved By The Bell article like her favorite Auntie was (ahem) but she did kiss Zack Morris. No lie. Puckered right on up and layed one on him. He hasn't been the same since.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people
