This was a thing on Facebook and I'm posting it here. I've been a FaceBook whore. I admit it! It's been so great to catch up with all these old friends from Junior High and High School. Some from even as far back as Elementary! My love of facebook is a post for another day though lol

1. Do you like bleu cheese? Moldy cheese? Ummm, ew and no!

2. Have you ever smoked? Yes! For a brief while in high school until my boyfriend at the time, who also smoked, found my pack and tore them up in front of me. The one and only thing I am ever grateful to him for doing to me.

3. Do you own a gun? Yes. And they're plastic and some are made of foam.

4. What flavor Kool Aid was your favorite? Kool Aid? Oh geez... Probably fruit punch or black cherry.

5. What job would you like to do other than your own? Working with disabled children or for a foundation like "Make a Wish"

6. What do you think of hot dogs? What do I "think" of hot dogs?? Weird question... I think um, they're pretty good with ketchup.

7. Favorite Christmas movie? I looooove to watch Family Stone, Elf, Christmas with the Kranks and Polar Express. Can't just pick one...

8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Coffee. Coffee and more Coffee.

12. Do you have A. D. D.? ADD? What's that? Oh look, something shiny...

13. Do you wear glasses/contacts? Yes and yes. Haven't worn glasses in years, it was always contacts. Then my contacts started bothering me about a year ago and I'm wearing glasses sometimes again. I think it may be time to go get my eyes checked again.

14. Middle name? jodi. Don't laugh.

15. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment: #1 - This is a long question and answer thing and my arms are tired from typing. #2 - I really should be working or at least pretending to be working. #3 - I hope Mr Man really fixed my laptop!

29. What songs do you sing in the shower? Anything that pops into my head...

30. Favorite girl’s Name? Machayla

31. Favorite boy’s name? Connor or Caleb. I wanted to name Brady one of those but they didn't go with Coulam very well.

32. What is in your pocket right now? In my sweater pocket is a cute little pink construction paper heart with glue on it. It fell off a Valentine Card Brady made at school and was on the floor of my car so I picked it up and put it in my pocket a couple of weeks ago and it's been there ever since.

33. Last thing that made you laugh? Jeff at work talking about someone calling into tech support from their BATHROOM. Ew!

34. What vehicle do you drive? A purple Geo Prizm

36. Do you love where you live? mmmmm, for the most part.

37. How many TVs do you have in your house? More then I care to admit actually. One in each bedroom plus the front room.

Now that my laptop is (hopefully) fixed, I should be able to get back to posting on my blog a lot more. It's been hard not having it after I'd gotten used to using it so often!

Random Tuesday Thoughts


The unmom is doing her weekly Random Tuesday Thoughts and I thought I'd join in. It seems that lately I've hit this wall with blogging. I'm too tired and exhausted, first off, to pay much attention to my blogging. It seems I'm not even reading blogs on my Reader lately either. Yes, I have become too lazy to blog! How can that happen? Anyways, I figured what better way of jumping back in then for someone else to tell me what to write about! I don't do well with being told what to do but I figured this one time can't hurt!

My Random Tuesday Thoughts, so far, have been....

The outfit I wore today? Lame! It is ok with my sweater on but guess what? I didn't look into the future when I'd be sitting here at my office working away and getting so hot (which, lets face it is EVERYDAY!!!! For some reason, people here like to keep the heat at 78 which means I'm sweating my ass off!) that I'd have to take off said sweater. Without the sweater, I'm basically in white from head to toe. And yes, I'm wearing white pants! I'm a rebel like that... So now I have to stay seated at my desk so I don't look like a fool, or put the sweater back on, which it's too hot to do!

Think anyone would notice if I just went home? That would fix the problem!

It's snowing like CRAZY out here in Utah. Big, fat, fluffy snowflakes that ARE sticking to the ground and roads. This morning it was beautiful and so peaceful to watch.

UNTIL I had to drive in the crap! Then it wasn't so cute.

I'm just wondering when it became socially acceptable for someone to make horrid bodily noises at their desk in the office for everyone to hear. And then repeat them every 10 minutes or so! Seriously!?!? There's a bathroom 50 feet away. USE IT! Other then that, this person is a beautiful, sweet woman who could be my best friend. Well, if she didn't make those noises!

I really wish I'd deposited more money in the checking account so I could pay the gas bill today. Which I completely forgot about until just now. Why do I have to make everything so difficult? I have the money. In my PURSE! Which doesn't help when I want to pay online! Ugh!

I'm also still fuming over a recent arcticle on Fibromyalgia where one of it's strongest supporters back in the day recently (last week) came out saying he takes back everything he proved to be true back then. That NOW he believes Fibro sufferers are a bunch of whiners who just don't know how to DEAL with their lives and problems. Yes, I'm still bitter! He proved all of these different things to show the world, and the government, that FMS was a REAL illness that deserved REAL treatment and respect. NOW he's basically telling us to stop whining, deal with our problems, and that we'll magically fix ourselves and never have pain again. Lame ass! And no, I won't link to him here because I don't want him getting more attention because he doesn't deserve it. And if I saw him on the street, I'd trip him the way Nicki tripped the "prophet" on Big Love. He feel allll the way down the stairs. It was awesome!

And I really want to start a separate blog that's about my Fibro and other health issues. I've wanted to do it for months now but things have held me back. Such as, what to name it for one. And I'm worried if I start a blog solely for that purpose, that I might dwell on my health more then I want to. BUT I don't know that I feel completely comfortable blogging about it here. I dunno why.

Anyways, that's my crappy Random Tuesday Thoughts post. Back to the regularly scheduled programming tomorrow...

SITS Giveaway! Check it out!

If you are not a fan of SITS, or a follower for that matter, and you are a blogger, you need to check this site out. Seriously. It's brought lots of traffic to my blog that I never had when I started blogging. And isn't that what we're all here for anyways? To have the validation through traffic and comments that someone other than ourselves is paying attention to our thoughts and dreams?

(Well, those and the whining that usually accompanies said thoughts and dreams...)

I love this site and right now they're giving away a fabulous prize for February, Bedroom Bliss.

No ladies, this does not mean that if you win, they will send some hot, sexy guy to your house to provide all the bedroom "bliss" you can handle.

Of course the prize will probably be delivered by a UPS or FX delivery driver...

Who will probably be male. (That's all that's ever delivered to my house.)

What you do when he gets there to deliver your prize is none of my concern... That's between you, him, and the nosey neighbor who will probably see you pulling him in your front door by his shirt.

SITS is giving away... (Drum roll please...)
An amazing 500 thread count sheet set (You choose the size)

A set of 2 Memory Foam Pillows

Sheet spray, lotion and candles

A set of soft and luxurious spa towels
$30 Gift Card to Target for anything we missed
And as an added bonus, as if the above stuff wasn't ENOUGH, (geez yer greedy!)...

The winner's blog will be SITS Friday Favorite the first Friday of March!

Which really means, they'll spotlight your very own blog, tell everyone about it, and hundreds of beautiful, intelligent people will race to your blog to check it out and leave comments filled with love and admiration about how smart, funny and witty you and your writing really is. Ok, well, maybe not EXACTLY that last part, but they will show up and comment on your blog. And since we're a group of friendly, wonderful people, you will get friendly, wonderful comments on your blogging.

What more could you ask for?? So go on... Go visit the links I've provided and enter to win. Not for nothing but I'm hoping I win this and not you! Spray 'n Wash ruined the last beautiful high thread count sheet set I bought when I sprayed it on one of the pillow cases. It bleached out the color! What's up with that?!?! So I really need to win this one!

Of course there are rules and stipulations on how you enter to win. So read through all the deets on their site to get all the info.

Happy Friday everyone!

Spread the Love!

Can't Get Enough? How about these?
