Warning: F-bomb inside!

Now, if I had had the time this afternoon and I was a little more psychotic, I totally would have hit that stupid-fucking-bitch-driven SUV and taught said driver the lesson that going right on red when another vehicle clearly has the right-of-way is not a good idea. (Whew!)  I am a firm believer in karma and I know she'll get hers eventually but I'm a little sad that I won't see it in action.

Cinderella Was a Lady

Ever since I was a kid I have been in awe of Cinderella.  She got to live happily ever after, and it took a lot of grace for her to not throw that into her stepsisters' faces.  I, however, prefer to let people know when they are on the bad end of karma. If it were me I would have said "Take that, bitches!!!"

We took the plunge...

...and bought a minivan today.  Yep, we're officially uncool now.  We said goodbye to Mark's Mazda 6 and hello to a Dodge Grand Caravan.  It was inevitable, really.  In practical terms, it makes a lot of sense for a family of 4 to have some space in their main vehicle.  Also, Mark needs a vehicle to haul his r/c airplanes in the summer(actually, that was the main reason). I put a plea on facebook for someone to send me a link to "Swagger Wagon" so we can get some cool back.  I wrote in the snow on the hood of my car when we got home...it says "Still Kelly's Rollerskate"* on it.  I would have taken a pic but my camera is missing.  'Scuse me while I go herd with the other sheep. ;)

*I drive a Hyundai Accent.  I could lift it if I tried.

Random Thoughts......

I've had some really random junk going on in my head lately.  Most of it is pretty stupid.  But here it is.

I was at the drive-through at Tim Horton's a while back.  They're definitely not my first choice for a coffee fix but it's closest to my work and they had pumpkin spice coffee.  But I digress.  They seem to have a rather large senior crowd there and the first thing that popped into my head was "Tim Horton's...Starbucks for the geriatric set."

If you're corresponding by letter to someone you don't care for all that much, shouldn't you be signing it "Insincerely"?

I'm pretty excited about 2 new holiday things that I get to share with Garrett this year:  Hannukah Harry and all the South Park Christmas episodes.  Appropriate?  Depends.  He's seen much worse, and I get to share my love of twisted humor.

I'm really wondering why Lucas finds flipping through my books so much more entertaining than flipping through his own. I mean, come on!  Mine don't even have doggies in them!

Giving Thanks

I used to think that the best part of Thanksgiving was all the food.  Man, do I ever love pie!!!  When I was a kid, I used to think that Thanksgiving was a time to remember the Pilgrims and the Native Americans coming together to feast.   I guess it still is, but now it is so much more to me.  Today, as I was at my sisters table while my mom said the prayer, I was thinking about what I have to be thankful for.  I can't even begin to start.  I live what I believe to be a very blessed life.  There are sooooo many people out there that are worse off than me.  For that,  I feel so undeserving.  Here's my attempt at putting it all in a nutshell....
Today and all other days I am thankful for the life that God has given me and for everyone that's in it.  And pie.

Election Day Tomorrow!

Yes, it's that time of year!  Time to get out and exercise our right to vote.  I will be doing so after work with my children in tow.  However, I'm getting reaaaaallllly annoyed with all the political ads and especially the slam ones.  And all the political phone messages!!!  Dang!!  I came home and had 5 on my machine.  One of them was in French.  I couldn't understand a frickin' word of it.

I won! I won!

So heeeeeere it is!  I won this tea sampler set from Love To Shop Mom.  It took a bit for me to get it and a few emails back and forth but it's here and I can't wait to finally try it!  Love to Shop Mom is a blog written by a lovely woman named Jamie.  Her site is mostly product reviews--both mom and non-mom related--with a bit of Mom stuff and personal stuff thrown in.  What I love most about her reviews is that she is very honest.  If she loves something, she tell you and if she hates something, she'll tell you that too!  If you want to check it out go here or click on the button on the side of this post.

Disclaimer:  Just so you know, I wasn't given anything to plug Love To Shop Mom.  I merely wanted to give Jamie a shout-out because I love her blog.
