Glutton for punishment or just reality??

This month has been so crazy busy. I have planned to blog about this and blog about that, but I just have not had enough time. I go back to work on Monday after being off for 10 days and I know that it will be hard to get back in the groove of things.

The Diva and I have had a pretty good break and Christmas was great. I have spent that last 2 days telling her to turn her music down. I have to wonder about my sanity in the choice of having Santa bring her a huge stereo. My only thought was that maybe I would not have to listen to High School Musical any more in the car. Maybe I did not think that one all the way through you know. Beyond that life is pretty sweet right now.

I am now in the middle of plans for her birthday party. She is having a High School Musical Makeover Dance Party. Yes I am a glutton for punishment. 14 little girls for 4 hours, they are going to have their hair and nails done all while singing along with High School Musical. My dog is going to have heart failure when all these people show up. He is not exactly what you call a people dog. There went my sanity.

Rude People

I know that rude people are just RUDE! I know that everyone can not be nice. I mean I have been known to not be the sweetest person, but I try to be mostly considerate ya know. So I was at Publix today and I bought my bag of chocolate and I am trying to leave. I go to my car, get in and look behind me. Well there is this person rolling their cart up their car. Ok I can wait no problem. Ok she opens all the doors on her car and proceeds to load about $250 worth of groceries into her trunk. I have no idea why she had to have her doors open to do this. Well what can I do, other than tear the doors off her BMW, which I will admit I thought about. Finally I she finishes and I am still waiting cause really where can I go, she is completely in my way. On my way to FINALLY back up she gives me this look and throws her hands up. Ok at this point I am ill with her and think I should go pop her one but I back up and go to work anyway.
So I know this is the Season to be kind and considerate and I know that you should really be kind and considerate all year, BUT when is it my turn to be rude??? Dang it I want a turn too. Everybody else gets one, I WANT MINE!
So in this season to be sweet lets say a prayer for the rude person and the person that did not kill them for being rude!

Meet Presley

This is the newest member of my family. His name is Presley. I have never had an inside dog before, so this is a new experience for me. We should have named him Kelli's Shadow, because that is what he is! He is driving me nuts, but I love HIM! Bless the Diva's heart she wanted a inside dog so we got her one. Well he has turned into my dog. LOL!

Here is how you combat that Thanksgiving weight

So... Jan and I were being fools and were in the Wal Mart on Saturday... well we went looking for a box for her to send to her kids and had a little time to kill before she went home to watch the Alabama Auburn game at 2:30. Well we get to the check out line and we look at it 2:05. Plenty of time, she lives about 3 miles away so it was not a big deal that we hurry. The lady in front of us has 4 things, they are all produce. Well apparently they were not ringing up correctly and she is having a cow over the onion and the bell pepper. She thinks that they are cheaper than what they rang up. I looked up and the cashier is GONE! Well apparently she has went to the produce section to check it out. Ok just so you know I would have given her a dollar to just go the HELL on. In the end I think she saved right at 50 cent. If she would have taken my dollar she would have came out ahead.

Well in the time that we had to kill we are looking at the various "impulse" items you can buy. Its random things like cd's, chapstick, febreeze, dog toys you know all the things that you would really think that you need at the check out. Then we spot IT! Jan finds it first and begins to laugh. She shows it to me and well... words fail me. I am ACTUALLY speechless. QUICK LOSS DIET SPRAY.

Ok number one, who in the hell would buy some shit called Quick Loss Diet Spray? Number Two I mean REALLY??? It works in minutes and lasts for hours? Ok what happens when it wears off? Do you gain twice what you lost? I know that there are lots of things that people will buy to lose weight but a SPRAY??

Ok that is my random rant and I think that if people actually buy this and expect it to work then they should lose weight by having their head cut off because they are obviously not using it.

Waiters... yeah they suck

So, my best friend Jan and I are out on our regular Tuesday lunch. You know the drill she bitches about her work I in turn bitch about mine. I give her the latest update on all the wacky things that Diva did the morning on the way to school and well generally a good time is had by all. Generally

Well I love PF Changs, love it. We just got a new about a year ago, so its still relatively new. Anyway, whenever any of us from the office go, the service is great. I mean they wait on you an everything. However whenever Jan and I go, its like they forget we exist. Really I mean we are like the black hole of the restaurant. NO ONE pays us any attention. I ordered my usual, water with a lemon (only there cause they don't have limes) spring rolls for appetizer, egg drop soup and beef with broccoli. She gets all the same only cashew chicken. We literally sit there and finish our water before the food comes out. Never mind that it is the soup and not the spring rolls. Some other random person in black brings those. Then we get the entree, Jan asks for salt and you would have thought she asked for a gun. He looked at her like she was out of her mind. He brought the salt and we never seen him again. We finally got another random person in black to fill up our water glass and then we begged them for the check. At this point I am pissed. He is over getting our bill together and I timed it, it took 11 minutes to bring our change! 11 freaking minutes. REALLY. Yeah he got no tip and if there was a way I could have taken money away I would have. Jan swears she is never going back. I am torn. I only get bad service when I am with her and I love the spring rolls. Needless to say we are going back to our regularly scheduled lunch at Cantina Laredo where you can get service.

Other than that it was a decent day. The diva is planning all her stops for Halloween candy and is excited about it. OH and one for the record books... we are going to MULE day on Saturday. Yes you read that correctly, I said MULE day. I will certainly bring back pictures of Mule Day in South Georgia. LOL

Have a great night!

I do not understand...

Well 1st off there are plenty of things that I do not understand: why they make white sandals and grown folks jelly shoes, why there is a such thing as sugar free ice cream, why my daughter insists on trying to have a life or death conversation with me while I am in the shower, and well why my husband does 3/4's of the things that he does.

But one of the biggest things that I do not understand is why some people insist on finishing a book that they obviously do not like. Last night I was on Amazon and I was reading the reviews on various book that I have read or plan to read and I was singularly surprised at the number of 1 star rated reviews. Ok I am the 1st to say that we do not all like the same things. I love historical romance novels, LOVE THEM. I love to read them, but a deal breaker for me is usually anything set in the middle ages. All I can think about is the lack of people bathing and the lack of toothbrushes. So I know that I will not be able to concentrate on the story when all I can think about is when was the last time the hero had a bath, brushed his teeth and is he scratching the lice that I am sure he has. Another deal breaker for me is men in kilts. NOPE as far as I am concerned that's a cross dresser. I know, I know, I know, I am being narrow minded but hey that's just me.

Seeing as how I know these are deal breakers for me I will not even pick up a book about any of it. Ever. My time to read is to valuable to waste it on something that I do not like. That brings me back to the topic at hand. Why continue reading a book that by say the 3rd chapter you KNOW you do not like it? It make absolutely no sense to me. Personally I do not understand. Why torture yourself with something you positively detest?

So that is what I do not understand. If you can explain it to me please feel free!

Have a great day! Muah!

Like, totally the Tooth fairy is a no go.

The Diva has thought about it and well the Tooth Fairy is not for her. Like I did not know she was going to change her mind a 1000 times. So she is going to be an '80's girl. The kids loves the everything about the '80's. So since we are going to a party I am going to dress up as an '80's girl as well. This should be fun. So in preparation we are watching Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Flashdance, and all the others. I have already ordered the leg warmers. I think it will be fun. LOL, I just wish we had enough hair for a full side pony tail, but alas we don't.

BTW, did anyone see Project Runway last night? I am still on the bandwagan that if they pick Kenley to win, I am breaking up for good with PR.

I have more to say but I have to go straighten my hair and the Diva's hair. Have a great day yall!!

Muah!!!!!
