Actually a NFL fan

My 1st NFL game!! No home issues today :) 

Friend is out of the country and can't use his awesome season ticket seats. His loss becomes my gain. 

Deciding who to take isn't hard at all. My nephew is a die hard football enthusiast and is choice number one.

He gladly accepts. With his vast knowledge of every single player on both teams, I had my own personal commentator. 

It was a blast. I never thought I would love being in a giant football stadium, filled with super passionate humans. However, I simply had a glorious time not even minding the freezing weather. Who knew I was actually going to become a real NFL fan?

GO BROWNS!

Shady McShadester Contractor

Home... Needs a storage shed...I cannot build this myself nor have a friend on hand to help.

SOOOO... Hire a contractor. 1st let me inform you this wasn't a fun endeavor. 2nd if I didn't already have trust issues, I sure do now. 3rd there are some horrid humans out there who will take your money, ruin faith in people, and make you think people no longer know how to be honest... 

With this said, 3 separate entities come out, provide estimated prices and time lines. I decide to go with the one who has fastest time line and repetitively the best price. 

TWO MONTHS later.....

I am the feeling like a foolish person who took a man at his word. I was promised one week for supply delivery, 1 week for construction. It's been 2 months now....  I call, I text, I call some more. I get no replies, no answers, I leave a message stating I am calling the material vendor. My, oh my how the calls and texts get returned. Claiming none of it's his fault, don't bother the vendors. Everything's on back order..... SUREEEEEEEEE

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Shake my head. At this point there is nothing polite I can think of to say.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I ignore this voice today. Something has to be done & said.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) These things happen. The hardest part of this for me is waiting for that reason to come along.

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE A MAN AT HIS WORD!!!! At this point in time I will admit I am believing she isn’t very wrong. 

Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote. “Sometimes bad things have to happen before good things can.”

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, determination to take over the world one step at a time, tosses glitter and says remember the goal & core reason for this home is happiness for me and Oakley. Breath. Use logic. Statically plan. We got this!!

Start with 6. BREATH. Logic says collect evidence in wrong doing, fire, hire, and have faith. Voice 1 has me use my best customer service skills, the product is delivered that following Monday from one vendor, cancels the order from the other vendor. (please note that both are informed the material has never been delivered nor work done, please further note the contractor has actually picked up the paid for materials that I paid for, then never showed up with them. Vendors are now seeking payment for the stolen merchandise from him) Hire new crew. New crew appears, helps sort our purchased materials, actually returns the wrong products (1st contractor apparently ordered all the sorts of things not for my project, but on my bill), new crew has it up and complete even with weather delays in 2wks time. 

I definitely now have trust issues. Yes, some humans are horrid & will take your money, ruin faith in people, and make you think people no longer know how to be honest...However there are good maybe even great humans, companies, and folks who stand by their word and go the extra mile to help make the best of  really crap situation.

Thanks for the read! XOXO

1ton of rock

Remember my home now has a pond - complete with babbling brook or creek or crick or mini river

SOOOO... A few weeks later - now I need to re-route that crick and lay pretty paths. 1 ton of lovely rock dumped on my drive and its time to start the labor of hauling it around my home.. in small trips..in a wheel barrow.. up that mountain side. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!?

Friend text - want help?? YES PLEASE!! I cannot do this at the pace I know they can and I definitely need help with this carting business!!!

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Shake my head - It is very hard to do this because I am the fool who signed up for this... I cuss a bunch, but friend is very kind and keeps saying things about how we got this. 

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I ignore this voice in this entire situation, for I am so hot, do sore already, and now there is  notable continued cussing.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? Can’t you see this is going to stress you to the max??? I DON'T KNOW!!!! Mentally flipping her off by the other voices.

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you try to do things on your own. ISSUES every turn of the way!!!! !@#$%^& ONCE AGAIN, she isn’t very wrong, and to make it worse I know others are merry thinking the same thing. 

Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote.  "creativity takes courage"

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter straight into my eyes and says the goal & core reason for this is Oakley and I will love it when it's done...Tosses another handful of glitter in my face and giggles away!!

WHAT is that smell

SERIOUS smell issue... What is THAT!!!

hmmmmph - make salmon for dinner. toss packaging in the trash can - in the kitchen - leave it in there - on a 90 degree day - locked up inside, with no airflow, no air conditioning.. It will make your home smell divine. SAID NO ONE EVER!! 

Board meeting not needed, my memory of last nights dinner comes back to me like a flash.

SIGH – take out liner. toss outdoors while retching. fill trashcan with bleach and water & place outdoors. take offending trash bag to dumping disposal FAR from home.

Shake head.

NOTE to self: NEVER leave fish packaging in the kitchen overnight😊

Thanks for the read!

Build a pond...It will be fun

Reminder my home is in the woods - complete with babbling brook or creek or crick.. Pick your favored word for mini river :)

SOOOO... A few visitor suggest I add a looking pond. Think it over, another visitor suggests a looking pond.. Think it over some more. Ok, I am doing this. A pond shall be built, no deadline or start date made.

Friend text - want help?? YES PLEASE!! I mean hey, you wanna help, I am gonna take full advantage of this!!

Merrily set forth to moving rock, setting up the boundaries, diggggggggging.

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Shake my head - It is very hard to do this because I am the fool who signed up for this... I cuss a bunch, but friend is so busy they cannot hear me. 

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I ignore this voice in this entire situation, for I am cold, wet & sore from falling down the ravine a few times, notable continued cussing.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? Can’t you see this is going to stress you to the max??? I DON'T KNOW!!!! 

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you try to do things on your own. ISSUES every turn of the way!!!! !@#$%^& She isn’t very wrong, and to make it worse I know others are merry thinking the same thing.

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way smiles and reminds me that the core reason for this is Oakley and I will love it when it's done...Toss the Glitter and embrace it!!

Willy Nilly Bricks

Ahhhh... Life in the woods is so serine. Relax, lean back, breath... And then you start to look at things... Like really look at them. My brick path is not straight. No not at all!! It is crooked and they lay the bricks all Willy Nilly!! The bricks are going in different directions. MANY different directions. 

Now, with that said, it is going to be impossible to make the path straight, so I shall rip it out and start over. 

Step one - remove and stack all bricks as I deconstruct the 40 foot long path.

Step two - carve out of the ground a new path for the bricks.

Step three - decide you need to remove the horridly cracked pavement steps. How does one do this?? OHHHH, get a sledgehammer and WACK it. Wait a week to finally borrow fathers, because frankly - I am sore from all that other manual labor. (This does not work - I am not strong enough) 

Step four -friend text need help?? YES PLEASE!! Friend is much stronger and still struggles, however breaks it down and we are "cookin with gas" finish outlining the brick path.

Steps five through ten - lay the rock and mortar mix so the brick doesn't settle nor slide about and eventually look just like before, tamp all the ground so the bricks stay where they are placed, lay the brick in a fashionable order - NOT Willy Nilly. Spread sand in the spacing so there is minimal movement of said bricks. Back-fill the trench dug to place brick path into. Rake ground around area to make smooth and pretty.

Ahhhh... Life in the woods is so serine. Relax, lean back, breath... And then you start to look at things... Like really look at them. My brick path is beautiful and straight... The soil is not. No not at all.. Now I need a rototiller. I need to grind up this earth and replant grass. 

Step one - locate a tiller. This was not as hard as I imagined. I have a few at my disposal. One is delivered within the next week for my use.

Step two - friend text need help?? YES PLEASE!! Friend is much stronger and still struggles, however does a fantastic job after a few passes and we are once again "cookin with gas"

Step three through five - buy proper type of grass seed ( FYI - one heck of a board meeting took place with all my personalities who struggled with the CSR at the home improvement store, as I am finding myself standing in  simple amazement and in total awe of the thousands of styles of grass one can purchase) Rake & spread seed mixture. Water and wait...

Ahhhh... Life in the woods is so serine. Relax, lean back, breath... And then you start to look at things... Like really look at them. Ladies and Gents, I have baby grass :) the Path is straight and even and no wiggly bricks, the ground is smooth and blended and now plush and green. 

Shoosh - Home owner life - I LOVE IT

Thanks for the read XOXO!!

 

Mowing

As you may recall I have moved to the woods. I said woods. I live in a forest and decided that the sellers are LIARS. They claim they didn’t ever mow…..Someone had to have mowed the one patch of yard. That or they took the goats who used to maintain it!!!

Now, with that said, it is going to be impossible to push mow the hill, too steep. The one flat-ish area is not safe to mow with anything the blades wont instantly stop.

Hmmmm –

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Smile, this is your hot mess to deal with. BUT, what am I going to do this looks bad, not cute at all.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I smile because there is nothing to do but figure it out. EVEN if the sellers are LIARS!!!

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why are you stressing?? You know homes are money pits and you will slowly bleed out your savings account ☹ .

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out a slew of profanity… @#$%^&*this HOUSE is gonna be the death of me & the @#$%^&* LIAR sellers

Voice 5 comments are filled with uplifting quotes. “for every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind”

Voice 6, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way – says Breath, you got this, thinkkkkk.

Sigh – there is something to be said for home ownership, it is always gonna be something to figure out.…. There is definitely never a dull moment 😊

P.S. I researched and then searched some more – Bought a REEL MOWER. It works perfect and I love the workout. Now to figure out that too steep hillside..

Cottage Cheese Container

Soooo I am minding my own business. Just sitting at work, merrily eating my 1% milkfat small curd lowfat cottage cheese straight out of the container, while reviewing a demonstration. 

Male walks past - What's REALLY in there??

Me - HUH?

Him - That is not cottage cheese.

Me - Ummm yeah it is.

Him - Oh SNAP, for real, for real? Like I thought people just used those for transport of left overs not the true labeled content?

Me - How do think they become containers for left overs??? MUST eat the cottage cheese man.

Him - Ewwww, who does that...

Me - Squints at him, as the board meeting rolls out...

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!" Control your snarkiness...

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I can do this, no this is a lie… Moving on.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) He wasn't really trying to be insulting, he was making a 

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out a slew of profanity… @#$%^&* What is wrong with humans? People are nosy. @#$%^&  

Voice 5 comments are filled with uplifting quotes. “No question asked is a dumb question" 😊 

Voice 6, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way, actual taps out on this one.

Voice 2 wins - stare at him blinking, Until he finally becomes so uncomfortable at my blank look - he simply backed away, turned and almost sprinted away!

Sigh...SMH

Blue washing

Bluewashing  walls is basically white washing plus a hint of tint....ALSO not an easy task... .

Reminder my entire home is done in planks of wood - some cedar, some pine, some unknown. I really do love the wood look, however mission lighten and brighten has come on full force.

SOOOO...

Scoop the paint, lose the measuring cup in the pail AGAIN! Add water & tint.

Realize the rougher the cut - the more painting needed - the warmer the room the faster it dries. I may have a problem!!! it's hot out, so its hot inside. I have the doors open to keep the giant beast dog out of the paint. OH the board meeting my personalities are having is off the charts tonight!

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Shake my head - It is very hard to do this because I am the fool who signed up for this... I cuss a bunch, no one but Oakley can hear me. 

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I ignore this voice in this entire situation, for I am the only one to say mean things to, so continued cussing.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? Can’t you see this is going to stress you to the max??? I DON'T KNOW!!!! 

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you try to do things on your own. ISSUES every turn of the way!!!! !@#$%^& She isn’t very wrong, and to make it worse I know others are merry thinking the same thing.

whitewashing

Whitewashing walls is not an easy task... Just putting that out there.

My entire home is done in planks of wood - some cedar, some pine, some unknown. I love the wood look, however it totally needs lightened up.

SOOOO...

Buy the paint - talk to the expert. have game plan.

Scoop the paint. drop the measuring cup. dump on floor, add water, slop whitewash on the wall... guess this is going to be the right amount of each - no more choices there, and i am definitely painting now...

spend 3 hours paining, getting paint in hair because i slipped and hand hits wall, slide hand up wall, stop body by taking a face-plant on the wall.

clean up mess. happy with results.

so not easy but sure is purty:)

now to do the next 4 rooms

no worries - tara the spotted and paint covered unicorn has this!!

Non-Lather body wash

SERIOUS issue... What is wrong with my body wash???

Apparently, no matter how much I put on the luffa it will NOT lather. What is it???? Is it expired? Is it some weird non-foaming soap product that I am unaware of? is the water in new home too hard?

Continue scrubbing…

Board meeting not needed, Common sense kicks in – read label.

SIGH – this small bottle will never lather, for it is body lotion.

Shake head.

NOTE to self: read label BEFORE placing in shower 😊

Thanks for the read!

Electrician friend wanted

Self – uses microwave, power goes out.

Hmmmm – goes on a hunt for the electrical breaker box. Now where is a flashlight??? Oh yea cell phone app. Hit head on strange unknown thing in basement. Scream like ninny. After a bit of hunting finds breaker box, flips breaker. Moves microwave to another outlet. Okay works. Mental note, must have electrician investigate this.

Self – showers, plugs in hair straightener, turn on blow dryer…Blows breaker. Well at least I don’t have to hunt it this time, switch breaker. Move straightener out to kitchen. Mental note, must have electrician investigate this.

Self – Outdoor lights stay on all night and day. Flip every light switch in house. Cannot locate it.. Mental note, must have electrician investigate this.

   

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Smile, this is your hot mess to deal with.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I smile because there is nothing to do but figure it out.

Search and SOLD

Search time: There are so many ways to search for housing, internet options pose unlimited researching. I found numerous places to live, looked at a vast amount of houses, and searched in a circle of decent commute time. At one point I thought for sure I was truly going to be homeless – or at least have to live with cousin for a bit. Then it happened, I came across one that would be a decent starting over point for me and Oakley.

  

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Shake my head - It is very hard to do this because a big name brand owns the LLC on the cabin I want, causing pricing comparison issues. Then there was the deal with how you actually spell the Road name – yeah, it changes to meet the fancy of whom ever is declaring the spelling. Next up on reasons it’s so hard to be nice, the insurance company wants to change up costs – after supplying a quote and I bought the money order already.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I must ignore this voice in this entire situation, for If I say nothing – nothing will get accomplished in a timely manner.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? Can’t you see this is going to stress you to the max??? I DON'T KNOW!!!!

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you try to do things on your own. ISSUES every turn of the way!!!! !@#$%^& She isn’t very wrong, and to make it worse I know others are merry thinking the same thing.

Yup - Embrace the idea of Enjoy the hand you are dealt. I know I will still cry myself to sleep some nights, hopefully less often. I will continue to curse the choices I made in the past but might be able to start laughing at them. LAUGH-ENJOY-SMILE each moment – they literally it won’t again 😊

Not BIG CITY - time to move

Nope – NOT for me. Time to start the search for new housing.

After many, many lists where written out and board meetings held in my head, the glaring result is I am not a BIG CITY life person.

After finding out that everything takes an hour to get to even though you live less than 10 miles away, I want to drive on the highway an hour and be moving no sitting and loathing.

Townhomes/Condos/Apartments are truly the adult version of a dormitory. There are even those annoying hall monitors of sorts – these come in the form of towing companies who sneak in the middle of the night and tow away vehicles not properly marked, making you THINK you have had your vehicle STOLEN, only to have to surrender a small fortune as dues for this mistake ☹

Not having freedom to maintain my living space made me feel like a caged animal.

  

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  repeats her earlier DONOT  lose control and curse at the fools who obviously failed to attend Drivers Education. DONOT tell off the kid in the hall bouncing the ball for an hour straight. DONOT go up and threaten the herd of Brontosaurus’ that moved in next door over their blatant disregard to quiet hours.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." Has me using a completely faux customer service voice as I call and inform the office I am leaving the housing development and refusing to tell the clerk what an utter failure to my expectations of this place they have been.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? WHERE are you going to move too? SERIOUSLY – ummm girl you about to be homeless!

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you lose your temper and can no longer deal with other humans!!! GREAT now Oakley and you are homeless!!!! !@#$%^&

Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote.  “Taking risks and making choices is what makes life so exciting”

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way smiles and states Oakley and I will make this work, remember Nothing is permanent in life.

Still, embracing the idea of Enjoy the hand you are dealt. I still cry myself to sleep some nights, just not as often. I still curse the choices I made in the past, just not as often. I keep on laughing, smiling, & enjoying each moment – because I now know it literally it won't  again 😊

Empty nest - BIG CITY move

Step one in transformation to empty nesting: Sell small town home and move to the BIG CITY.

Realize the truth in BIG CITY life.

1^st – Find out that everything takes an hour to get to even though you live less than 10 miles away... Traffic is Devils way to bringing out the worst in humans.

2^nd – Townhomes/Condos/Apartments bring back the terrifying memories of college dorm life.

3^rd – Not having to adult with home stuff aka mowing, electric issues, updates also means no lawn to walk barefoot in, no garden area, & you have no say in what updates you get.

4^th – Taxes are better bc you live in the town you work.

5^th – There are a million different places to eat, drink, and be merry.

6^th – There are a million new places to explore.

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  DONOT  lose control and curse at the fools who obviously failed to attend Drivers Education. DONOT tell off the kid in the hall bouncing the ball for an hour straight. DONOT go up and threaten the herd of Brontosaurus’ that moved in next door over their blatant disregard to quiet hours.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." Stew silently wishing I had magical powers to dissolve the irritating humans.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why did I do this???? What made me think living in THE Big City would work for me?? Where was my crystal ball to predict this??

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when we listen to others, STOP letting other make up your MIND!!!! !@#$%^&

Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote.  “Nothing CHANGES if nothing CHANGES.”

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way, has yet again won the tiara of ruling today's round table discussion. Oakley and I will make this work, make the best of the new life here, if you want to move again – do it. Nothing is permanent in life. However,  side note to mention #3 did get some satisfaction on the interstate more than once on the interstate.

This board meetings with all my personalities, made me look at all the pro’s and cons of small town vs BIG CITY. Still, embracing the idea of Enjoy the hand you are dealt. I still cry myself to sleep some nights, I still curse the choices I made in the past. But I now know you need to laugh until you cannot breathe & enjoy each moment – literally it won't  again 😊

Muddy walks

Pup: Wagging his tail so hard and his eyes are like a ticker reading PLEASE momma, take a walk.

Me: Ohhhhh it’s a beautiful warm day, let’s check out that new park I found the other day!!

Lovely ride with the windows down & top out of the Jeep….. Arrive at the new to us, park. We march about, happy to be outside. There is a gravel trail, yeah!!! Utt oh, gravel trail turns into mulch, okay not bad. Why is the mulch now pine needles??? OHHHH NO!!!!! Pine needles now gone – SWAMP! Total and utter SWAMP!! Black mud, foamy water is now the replacing the perfect trail.

Pup: Looks back at me wide eyed, and his eyes seem to say HELLLLLZ YEA!! Explodes into a full sprint.

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Try’s to remind pup that he is to walk not, take off like a he’s on speeders and forgotten his listening ears at home.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." Asks pup, now do you think this is the best use of our walk time? DO you really think I want to touch that ikky stuff?

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why are you even asking a fuzzball what he is think? You really need to get a grip on his listing skills and punish him.

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out her usual slew of profanity… @#$%^&* DO YOU EVEN HAVE LISTENING EARS PUP????   !@#$%^&

Voice 5 comments with today’s uplifting quote.  “When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing!”

Voice 6, with all her jolly personality, tossed glitter along the way singing – Glitter on Pup, Glitter on!! Let us run, splash and play!! We both wash and seriously - who cares????

WOW, was that fun. Each day I feel a little better about who I am. I have decided bitter is not better. I still hold board meetings with all my personalities (sometimes they are multi times a day) But, I am embracing the idea of Enjoy the hand you are dealt. If there is mud play in it. If there is water STOMP in it. Laugh until you cannot breathe. Enjoy each moment – we literally will not have it again 😊

Dippy egg omelet

Daughter: MOM, serious question – can you make a dippy egg omelet?

Me: What? No, but I mean that would be pretty delicious.

Daughter: Fine! Scrambling sounds. Okay well now it’s pale.

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Good job kiddo.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." I am proud of you.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) Why are you even asking this?? Oh the boyfriend has made fun of you – Yup I knew it

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out a slew of profanity… @#$%^&* you never did pay attention when I gave you cooking lessons did you? !@#$%^&

Voice 5 comments are filled with uplifting quotes. “Live and let learn”

Voice 6, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way wins the convo - Glitter on Daughter!! Try new things, maybe I will even try to make one dippy egg omelet.

THEN I HEAR – so how do you make it half a circle???

Tapping out.

Glitter on my Queens...

I’m back (AGAIN) found the need to delight myself in blogging, for those who like to laugh 😊

All my lovely voices are intact!

A few changes to relay to the few cyber world followers of my venting.

Daughter has graduated.  NEVER FEAR she still has great tales to share. Suzuki lives with her. I now have the GIANT YETI AKA Oakley. Son is now the on the fast track to college graduation.  We are all scattered about the state. Unchanged, I still believe in unicorns, love glitter, and laughing (sometimes prompted by high proof alcohol)!!! 

So, without further ado, here is today's round table of my mind discussion time. 

Voice 1 who always says, "Be polite your mother raised you to be a nice person!"  Is happy to report I am still free and not institutionalized – even though a few folks (bless their hearts) wish I was.

Voice 2 always reminding me, "Your mother raised to say nothing at all if you have nothing nice to say." Has actually learned to be quiet, well maybe, okay no no this is a lie… Moving on.

Voice 3 is saying (in her normal annoyed voice of adult reason) You are a big girl, put on those big girl panties and hit the key board – AGAIN. Turning 40 has changed nothing. **haha note, there are still no such panties**

Voice 4 pipes in, having perpetual PMS, is snapping out a slew of profanity… @#$%^&* single life is humbling and fun. People are still nosey. @#$%^& 

Voice 5 comments are filled with uplifting quotes. “No one is too busy, it is all about priority” “when nothing goes right, go left” LEFT it is 😊

Voice 6, with all her determination to take over the world one step at a time, tossing glitter along the way, has yet again won the tiara of ruling today's round table discussion. Glitter on B!TCHE$, we are queens, we got this.
