Women

I've been thinking a lot lately about women. I was listening to this annoying lady talk show host at night on my way back from my class, and she was talking to some girl about things women do that guys think are crazy but women think are normal. Like freaking out if they don't respond to a text straight away. These women to it as far as taking everything they had ever gotten from the guy, ruining it, and then throwing it on the lawn of his yard....

Now I've never done anything to that extent... but do we, women, do things and use "it's because I'm a woman" as an excuse? I know I do sometimes, and since I have thought about this I've tried to stop thinking like that. We have hormones, we get emotional, or over infuriated by things irrationally sometimes. But does the fact that we are women mean that we have no control over our actions??

We do! I think it's highly amusing now whenever I hear a woman use her hormones as an excuse for her outrageous behavior! If men were to ever do something like that we'd go crazy about how wrong it is!!!

Anywho, that's my random thought of the month...

Math

Signs you have been in 2.5 hours of math class everyday and doing 3+ hours of homework every day....

1. You wake up multiple times during the night with equations running through your head that you dreamt up.

2. When telling a customer at work their total, you say that'll be twelve point seventy two instead of twelve dollarrs and seventy two cents.

3. You don't get to bed before 12:30 anymore...

4. Your lunch break at work consists of you heating something in the microwave and doing math problems while eating it.

5. You start to feel panicky around all numbers...

Hey you... Yeah, you!!

I wanted to something a little different than, dear (insert someone who has more than likely annoyed me).

Hey you!

Yeah you, Dancing with the Stars. Let me just start with Pamela Anderson. You are so creepy. Why do you have to have creepy face on everytime the camera is pointed at you. You are not sexy. You've obviously had plenty of plastic surgery. Your face is ridiculous. You're gross. Please leave Dancing with the Stars. Next, does anyone else notice the voice at that beginning of the show? It totally creeps me out!! And now... Play some actual band. Ripping songs off an making some crappy singers sing them is just embarassing for you. Just play the actual song, I know you can get the licensing to so that because you obviously got it tool make your own lame hiney version. Erin and Maks, I love you. I haven't ever voted for things like this before, and I max out my text votes on y'all. Chad... You annoy me. Possibly because you changed your last name to your jersey number, which I think is the lamest thing someone can do. Plus you are black, did you forget to look in the mirror the day you changed your name to SPANISH?!

Hey you!

Lady on the treadmill infront of my elliptical in Saturday... Thank you for entertaining me whilst I worked out. You made it easier for me to last 35 minutes. Doing your "air cheering" amused me greatly. The fact that you did it the ENTIRE time you walked, really?

Hey you,

allergies!!! Cut it out!!! I really extra-ly hate you.

Tis the season...

We joined the Rec!! Woo!! And we've been twice since Saturday!! Yay for getting back into shape. I'm going to try a cycling class sometime this week.

Keeping the lawn up. What a job! Go away weeds!! We are trying a weed killer you hook up to the hose. It's guaranteed to not to kill grass... Which is why we are testing it on a section of grass in the backyard, just in case..

I have plants!! Tomatoes, strawberries, zucchini, artichoke and something else. I don't know if we'll be able to eat anything off of them, but I'm trying!!!

Life

I love the new show Life on the Discovery Channel! I know this may seem totally lame-o to some people out there, but I don't care. I'm not crazy about Oprah narrating it, I'm not a big fun of Oprah herself.. And all the "82 billion years ago....when fish were the only creatures on the earth... And then they evolved into humans...." okay it's not THAT bad! All the animals are so amazing! Like a fish that can fly, or something like elephants. I love the show. I sit there in awe of God and all His creations!! It's just so amazing to me to see these animals and now the He created every single one of them, and for a purpose!!

Some of my more embarassing tv picks...

Dancing with the Stars. Anyone else glad Buzz got the boot? I know, he's an American hero, blah blah blah... But if I had to hear him talk about the moon or the space program one more time , or see his wife in one more horrible astronaut vest/jacket/fringy thing, or see one more astronaut tshirt on Buzz.... I like the espn girl and the Olympic guy!

Greys Anatomy. It's horrible now and I just can't stop watching. I should be soooo over it now, but I'm not.

Cougar Town. I freaking love FRIENDS, so I have to like anything with one of the cast in it. Except the Joey show, that was one of the worst things ever.

Good Friday

Dear Jesus,

I am eternally grateful for the sacrifice you made for me. Through your blood I am set free. This freedom is greater then any other.

Obamacare

Dear friends,

I hate reading all the negative facebook posts about Obama and the health plan things. I may not agree with everything, but calm down. Lucky for us, GOD is actually in charge. And I'm pretty sure in the Bible it talks about us obeying the laws of the land and the rulers and leaders in our land. I just think everyone needs to take a chill pill. And from what I read, nothing super major is going to change for another 2 years at least. I'm too tired from my pain killers to look scripture up, but I know it's there. As Christians, it doesn't look good for you to be whining and complaining about something you probably don't even fully understand. We are supposed to be above reproach. So just wait it out, worse things have happened in the history of the world. At least we can be Christians without being stoned to death!

Love,

Me

Dear Moms

on facebook.. I think you are all probably great moms, I can't swear this is true since I haven't actually seen some of you with your babies. I really hate reading your statuses about the solidness (or lack of) in your babies diaper, your nasty skin disease that you got from labor, the fact that you can't get better from your nasty disease because you're breast feeding (start bottle feeding and shutup), breast feeding and or anything to do with your boobs or breastmilk. I'm not jealous that y'all are moms, there's just a little thing called TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!

P.S. To you moms who don't post things listed above, thank you so much!

Best Friend Appreciation Day

Happy Birthday to my best friend!!!! You're the best friend anyone could ever ask for. You are a fabulous wife. I can only hope to be the kind of mother you are to your wonderful little babies. You have been one of the biggest blessings in my life for the past almost 5 years. You always have godly incite and wisdom to offer to me when I have problems. You are always encouraging to me, especially lately when I've been overwhelmed with so many friends having kids and not me. You are always giving to me, even when I know you are exhausted and overwhelmed with life, work, and familyhood. I love you so much and have no idea what I would do without you.

White trash and crafts

My neighbor is super creepy. If you were to drive around in our neighborhood, you wouldn't see anything weird, or anyone weird.. But if you stay around long enough for the garage doors to come up... You would realize you're on a white trash block. One of my neighbors at about 5pm, opens his garage door and starts lifting weights. He sounds like a tennis player while doing this, it's disgusting. Then he lights up, grabs a beer, and sits on his rusty patio furniture that is IN his garage. His lawn is not grass. It's weeds. He just mows over them and they spread. This leads me to the true point in telling you about my creepy neighbor...







Tuesday, after work, I came home and decided to pull weeds out of our front yard. The weather has been so finicky that we have not been able to take care of our yard properly. We had some monsterous weeds, see pictures. So I get out, and worked for about 30 minutes when creepy neighbor walks into the middle of the street and snarls with his country accent, "Are you gunna pull ALL them weeds out??" What came out of my mouth immediately and annoyed, "Uh, yeah, I don't want them growing back..." He then laughs hysterically and walks back to his patio furniture and continues to WATCH me pull the weeds out of my yard for another hour and a half, occasionally laughing at me..

Yes, this weed was about 50 separate weeds that tangled all together to form a whopping 6 foot weed. Disgusting that we let it get that big, I know!




I've also had some time to do a little more crafting. I really need to get back on the sewing machine and finish my old projects. It's just so nice to change things up a little. Plus I can crochet infront of the tv or in bed before I go to sleep!!

Crafty Monday

We know two couples that have baby girls, and know a LOT of preggo people. So I started crafting presents for these little girls... This is only the first baby headband I've made. Hopefully they will only get cuter!!





I think I'm also going to get some baby clothing patterns and try to make some little outfits that match the accessories. Baby presents are expensive!!! I'll try anything to make neat, unique, and affordable gifts.







Some of my other projects I did for Christmas presents.









I am currently in the process of making one for my best friend, and then will make one for my sister in law. Eventually I'll make one for myself. Hopefully I can start selling them eventually. Once I get the hang of it and it doesn't take me 3 weeks to finish one.

Dear job hunters,

When you come in to fill out an application...

1. Ask for the application in ENGLISH.

2. Wear jeans that actually fit. Too big is better than too small.

3. Wear a shirt that
A. Covers you belly
B. Doesn't have 800 holes in it.

Thankyouverymuch!


Dear neighbors,

Take your friggin Christmas lights down!!

That's all..



Dearest boss man,

I make minimum wage. I know you don't make minimum wage, and probably never have. Now considering I do the job of the assistant manager without the pay, I think you should give me a raise. Frankly if I leave, the store will go down the hole.

With much appreciation,

Me

To my dearest neighbors,

If you make your dog stay outside one more night... I am going to figure out who you are and call the city about you. It is ridiculous that your dog barks all night long. I had to wear earplugs the other night so I could fall asleep. If I wanted to be woken I'm the middle of the night, I would already have a child. Now, because I've already called about our next door neighbors, I know that the police give you a warning, and of it continues you can get a very pricey ticket. Now quit being rude to your neighbors and obviously neglectful to your dog.

Sincerely,

Sleep deprived neighbor

Shopper catergories

So, if you haven't figured it out... I work in retail.

Working in retail, I encounter a lot of different people during the day. I have come up with a few catergories for customers..

The ones that think they're funny: they tell a lot of awkward jokes. Say sarcastic things about how they can't find what they're looking for. Joke about calling to complain about you. Seriously people, I don't come to your job and joke about how crappy you are!!

The nice people: respond to your greeting when they walk in, make polite small talk while they are being rung up. Says thank you!

The overly confident and slightly rude shopper: these shoppers enter the store and run from any greeting. When cornered and asked if they need help they rudely respond, "NO!! I know what I'm looking for!!" as if to say, "I'm not an idiot, I can read the signs to figure out where I am going." About ten minutes later the customer will resurface and exasperatedly ask for help. This always makes me want to say, "maybe you shouldn't be so obnoxious and rude when you walk in and just ask for help. Then neither of our time gets wasted."

The talkers: someone who has to talk to everyone. Usually very scatter brained.

The infamous cell phone shopper: always on a cell phone. Talks very loudly throughout the store. Looks at you, appalled, when you ask a question, give them their total, or any kind of verbal communication I'd attempted while they are checking out.

The creepies: these people slide into the store and are almost immediately noticed. They constantly look around the store, as if trying to note where every person I'm the store is. They seem out of place, don't respond when talked to, or mutter and skamper away from whoever is talking to them. Most often have shifty eyes. I stay close to the panic button when'd these people are around.

There's a few more. But I'm tired.
