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.

Lol! I couldn't quite get "on" to Kurt Cameron - I was still getting over Alan Thicke... He's Canuckian, eh?

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well,

Trish Needs.......

I did this cause of Suzi, whose page I read religiously - check her out here . I'm going with the top 30 Google responses to "Trish needs" because SO many of them are related to wrestling of which I am a fan but not capable of doing without killing myself and/or the other person (unless it's the husband in bed but we won't go there. No. We won't. His sister reads this! Hi Steph!) I've decided to add commentary where I feel it's needed because, well, because I can. 1. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men (amen to that my friends) 2. Trish needs to get this card off as soon as possible 3. Trish needs to do some serious damage control 4. Trish needs your help (help packing, help mentally, help with laundry, help with Monkey Boy, etc) 5. Trish needs to come to OPS and talk to all counselors & supervisors 6. Trish needs a makeover ( I don't think it's THAT bad!) 7. Trish needs an intervention (I do not have an Oreo pr
