Happy Birthday, Little Man.....

I remember the time when you decided that you were going to start doing things by yourself. You learned all your letters. You learned numbers, shapes, colors. You learned to put the letters together and a=make words and you were reading at two years old. You didn't like the idea of being in the giant octagon and would hoist it up over your head to go exploring into the other areas of the house. You wanted to play along with your older brothers and you were going to do what you wanted to do.

Your imagination and creative grew as fast as your intelligence and by the time you were three years old, you were wondering why it was that you weren't going to school like your brothers were. Although you would have been capable.....

Now, you are in school, zipping along through your classes like a true champ and growing into a fine young man, full of curiosity and you haven't lost the insight and intelligence to see passed what was being taught, but beyond that, learning so much more than what's there in front of you. I am such a proud mama.

I hope you never lose all of those qualities and you continue to grow in leaps and bounds and become the amazing man I know you will someday be. In the meantime, don't forget that it's okay to keep on being mama's little boy too. You don't always have to be mama's little man. I love you always...XOXOX

The language of toddlers...

Ever sit and listen to what small children say? I mean if you have little ones and you're communicating with them, you can understand what they're saying, but if someone else walked into the conversation, it sounds... Wrong... Just an example...If Foppin' (and it almost sounds like "fuckin'")= Flapping, kokman = Pokemon, fock = fork and sheek = sheep, what you hear is:
"Kokman foppin' wif sheek. I haba fock too!"
What I hear is: "I'm playing with my Pikachu and sheep stuffed animals. I'm pretending that they're flying. See them flapping their pretty pretty wings? I have a fork. I found it with my toys and  I think it needs to go into the sink..."
I wish little kids had "baby-speak translators" that scrolled what they are saying in adult-speak built into their clothes or something...

Running with scissors...

With four kids, I find myself constantly hootin' and hollerin' about something. "Get that outta yer mouth!", "Stop hitting yer brother with that stick!", "Don't call your brother a cootie infested booger head!", "Did you wash your hands after touching that?", "Can you please stop (pick one...) screaming/ whining/ kicking/ punching/ pinching/ slapping/ throwing stuff/ eating the playdough/ Etc.?", "Get your finger outta there!", "Why are you naked and why do you have your underpants on your head?!", "What's that smell?",  "Stop running in the house!", "Don't touch that!", "Are you serious?!!!" ... The list goes on...
I can tell my kids a hundred times, a hundred different ways to do something or not do something... Do they listen? <Sigh!> ... No. I wonder if they hear me at all... ("Did you hear me?!!? Hello?")
It starts first thing in the morning... They fight, they scream, they run around like rabid and heavily caffeinated  weasels and it's a wonder that the four of them and I survive a day... But then there are moments when they're all sitting down and doing something together or playing together... And I tend to forget everything else. Yes, they try my patience, they drive me nuts sometimes and I am ready to tear my hair out, but at night, when they're all tucked into bed and sleeping, I wonder what I was so fussed about.
I'm sure that tomorrow, it'll start all over again. They'll be fighting, yelling, screaming, doing stuff they ought not to be, neglecting the things they should be doing and running around with scissors... Thank God for Red Bull and a mother's love...
As much as I say to people sometimes when they comment on how cute my children are, "Yeah... You don't live with them!" they're good monkeys and my kids rock out loud... And more than most!

What Did You Just Say?!!?

Ever meet one of those people who should just walk around with an interpreter because... Well, just because? My dad's English (engrish) is unintelligible at best and even worse when he's angry.
The roofer had to come by the house again because the insurance people needed a quote in order to pay out my dad. In trying to explain what was going on, there were misunderstandings...
The roofer got: "Za shingroos  got into butt of outside and oh nooo! Ouchie! It reeked all rover because big holes!"

In standing outside with them to play translator, I almost lost my mind. The roofer was looking at me like "WTF?! I don't want to know! I'm just here for the roof!" making it harder for me to stifle the laugh.

The message that dad was trying to convey was that the shingles didn't quite butt up to each other and the roof leaked because of the gaps...

I would've paid to have that short conversation on video or at the very least a picture of the roofer's face...

Dang it! I went and stained my karma again!

I realize that I can be a pain in the ass. I do what I can to try and realign the feng shui of my karma (or whatever the new age term is... Uncloud my aura? Rearrange the chi of my chakras? You want me to whaty what my where?!), but there are times when the horns come out and it cannot be stopped. It happens often in parking lots. I mean, come on, where better than to come across an asshole than a parking lot?
So, the other day I went to the local Starbucks to get myself a caramel frap with extra caramel goo goo sauce with whipped cream and more caramel goo goo sauce. The parking lot was pretty full and I figured I'd go and sit somewhere else to enjoy said frap.  I got into the car and tried to back out, but of course there are a gojillion cars lined up behind me making the whole backing up thing damn near impossible. Finally, a guy decided he wanted my parking spot and stopped, waiting impatiently for me to back out of the spot. After 15 seconds he started laying into the horn and screaming at me to "hurry the fuck up!".
OH... NO... YOU... DIDN'T! I pulled the car back into the spot, parked  and got out because I decided, "Maybe I will enjoy my frap here!" The guy asked me what the fuck I was doing. I said to him, "I think I, the fuck, just parked my car into the spot again." I think he lost his mind. The string of obscenities that came out of his mouth was hysterical.  A few well placed "uh-huh"s and"Oooh! That was a good one!" s and some pointing and laughing, he ended his maniacal rant with, "...and FUCK YOU!" to which I replied, "No, thank you. I'm divorced and I get more than enough of that, proverbially, from the ex with his shit storms and temper tantrums..." and I smiled.
I don't think he quite knew how to respond to that because he chirped the tires and sped away... for about 20 feet until he was stuck behind another car again. I don't think I laughed that hard in a long time. He must've heard me laughing at him because I saw the windows of his car go up soon after...
Sure, I could've pulled out of the spot, thought to myself, "What a jerk!" and went about my business, but the horns and tail had something different in mind. A new stain on the karma... It was still pretty funny and well worth it though...

Everyday Dirty...

Have you ever thought about some of the things that people say that, with a little bit of thought, is just downright dirty?
-Doing the laundry... Would you ever look at your socks the same way?
-Getting up at the asscrack of dawn... Uh... I never realized that Dawn liked it that way, but good for her... I guess.
-I've got paperwork coming out of my ass! How'd you get the paperwork up there?
- I'm getting fucked at work...  Um... yeah... Okay... Good for you?
-We gotta hammer this shit out! I suppose there's an appeal for some people...
-Do I need to touch that one? Maybe...
-Being pissed off... Better than being pissed on I suppose.
-Wow! Somebody has got a hard-on for you... Unless it's my man, I don't want to know.
-I'm gonna make this thing my bitch... So that you can... Never mind. I don't want to know.
-Fucking shit... uh... I guess if that's what floats your boat... I don't want to know.

-Fuck a duck!    No. Thank you, but no...

There's tons of them! Everyday conversations can get a whole lot more interesting if you think a little differently. (Just be warned, you may start giggling or smiling at inappropriate times... Trust me...)

Drunk people...

Seriously... I understand the whole wanting a beer after a day of work... Sometimes, nothing beats sitting down with a cold brew... But c'mon... We've all been to an establishment or a party where there is the one super drunk idiot who's either doing something outrageously stupid/ dangerous, but it's downright amusing to watch as the events unfold and ultimately, the drunken bastard is puking in the parking lot or is on their face or is beaten because they were obnoxious drunks. Maybe it's a combination of all three. (Still amusing to watch by the way...) Then these people have the nerve to get behind he wheel of a car and drive around? (They weren't beaten well enough, I say.)
Sure, drunk people are amusing to watch as long as you don't have to interact with them. At least that's the way I feel about it. Then, let them pass out. At the end of the night, chain them to a tree or something and really fuck with them by smearing grass and mud into their hair, stomach and knees, tie a goat to the tree next to them, empty a jar of lube into the back of their pants, then kick 'em in the "'tain't" (it 'tain't their ass and it 'tain't their crotch... The 'Tain't) and place the empty jar nearby,  slap a condom... on the goat's horns, let them sober up and as they wake up, start chanting "GOAT BITCH!". (Let them think the word "headbutt" has a whole new meaning!)

My Car goes VROOOOM!!! (I wish...)

I cannot claim to be a gear head... At all. I mean I describe car parts in terms of "Ooooh! Shiny!" and "What does that thingy do?" . Going to the mechanic, the conversation would usually be:
"My car is broken!"
"Can you describe the problem?"
"Yeah... It does this weird thing that makes an angry vrooming noise instead of the other vrooming noise... Fix the thing with the stuff and do the thing because I want it to be all better..."
"Riiiiiiight... Okay... Please leave... Now... And don't come back... Ever..."
I appreciate the 60's and early 70's American muscle cars because... <DROOL!> Oh, sorry... I was having a moment. Uh... Well, I just don't think they make 'em like they used to.
Don't get me wrong, there are the newer cars out there that are putting out ridiculous speeds off the lot, but you can't "play" with them. Computers and chip things and you have to be some kind of computer engineer in order to change the oil! Okay, maybe not that bad, but still...
I always thought it would be cool for my boys to have a car that they'd be able to "work on" and rebuild it and stuff. It would give them a deeper appreciation for the car if they actually put blood, sweat and tears into it by fixing up a beat up (but cool and preferably GM) classic, maintaining it, caring for it, putting their own money into it... Can you imagine how carefully they would drive and how they would baby the car if they sank a whole buttload of time, work and money into it?
GOD FORBID the day they came home in one of those M.(ovie)I.(nspired)C.(osmetically)E.(nhanced)r's, or M.I.C.E.r better known as R.I.C.Er's. Slapping on a big stupid looking wing on the back, fart cannons, chromed out wheels and have it sound like a hairdryer in a microphone... (My lugnuts require more torque than your Honda makes!) I'm not talking about the ones that have actually PUT something into the engine. Some of them are pretty zippy. I am talking about the TRULY cosmetic ones that couldn't go over 90mph downhill... then off a cliff... with weights in the car.
Funny thing is, one day while driving around on the highway in my minivan, a R.I.C.E.r guy decided he wanted to "go". I beat him... Doing 65mph... in a minivan... I don't know what was more humiliating for him... Picking out the minivan to race with or getting beat by said minivan doing the speed limit or the fact that my kids were in the back pointing and laughing at him. It might be a combo of all of the above.
The poor minivan has since been repo'ed (the kids had dubbed her Big Blue), but I bet she still relives that moment in time or at the very least laughs about it. I know I do. Bacon, the new car, has yet to have to prove herself...

If I Ruled the World...

Okay, it would be scary for ANYONE to have that kind of power. I get it... But still, if I did, there'd be some MAJOR changes to a lot of different things. Seriously...
C'mon, we've all wished for that kind of power at one point in time in our lives, let's not kid ourselves. And of course, we all think we know what's best for the world and we'd be able to solve all the problems with a wave of the proverbial magic wand. I wish it were the case. In watching people and somewhat keeping up with the current events, the problems are a lot more grand scale than someone sitting in an office somewhere and making laws and scribbling down ideas and yada yada, narny narny boo boo can fix. Every individual person has their own set of problems and for one person to decide, "Hey! I've got the cure all for EVERYONE'S woes!" is just a bunch of bullshit. Sure, the things that would motivate me to make the world "a better place" are probably a lot different from what someone else is thinking. My ideas are simple ones...
I would want things like bacon vending machines...  Everywhere. How can you be sad when there's bacon? (Unless your Kosher... I can't help you there...) How about people being a lot nicer to everyone else. At least that way, I won't feel the need to slap most of the people I come across. A flat consumption tax on everything. No more income tax, property tax, tax, tax, tax... Shit, there's tax on just about everything! Just one flat tax and IRS agents can go work for the Peace Corps or something. "Slap a Liberal!" day... "Slap a Conservative!" day... (Hey, let's be fair...) How about we make the "system" a little more geared towards Americans not looking for a free ride, not looking to fuck the system and just need a hand up, not a hand out.
And math... What the FUCK is up with this "new math" thing and it not being about the fucking answer, but the "journey" to get to the answer shit? Math is a universal language. No matter where you go, one and one is two. The answer is two. No matter where you go, the answer is TWO! Who gives a shit about the journey of getting to two. "You have to understand the concepts in order to get to the answer and you have to SHOW that you understand it by being able to SHOW the journey..."
Bullshit! As long as the fucking answer is right, what difference does it make HOW I got there? It's obvious that the concept is understood if the answer is right! Don't tell me I'm wrong because it wasn't the "preferred method".
You know what? Just... Fuck you! Just let me rule the world. It'll be a'ight!

Slap a ________ ! Day...

We all have our pet peeves about the different groups, whether it's political, "religious", social... It's not a racial thing. It's not a class thing. It's not anything other than the roles we choose for ourselves. We all have our opinions about, well... Everything. But there are those on the fringe that want to impose THEIR opinions on you and the way you live or affect us in a way that makes one feel downright... Icky or who are just flat out annoying. FUCK THAT!
So, I have come up with a system that covers the gamut with "Holidays" that we can all look forward to... Here it goes:

Slap an Ultra Conservative! day                President's Day

Slap an Ultra Liberal! day                            Memorial Day

Slap an Environmentalist! day       Earth Day (Prius drivers can be slapped the entire week preceding and following Earth Day)

Slap a Scientologist! day                 March 13 (L Ron Hubbard's Birthday)

Slap a Telemarketer! day                 Any time that may be inconvenient for them.

Slap a Slow Driver in the Hammer Lane! day    August 12 (First production of the Model T)

Slap a Drunk Driver! day                July 19 (the day of the Chappaquiddick incident)

Slap a Person Asking a Stupid Question! day    August 4 (Helen Thomas' birthday)

Slap a Person Giving a Stupid Answer! day    March 31 (Al Gore's birthday)

Slap "People who live in the North who display the Rebel flag! day  April 9 (The day Lee surrendered to Grant)

Slap a Douchebag! day                     July 7 (You have to be in"the club" to understand)

Slap a Pedophile! day (although unnecessary violence with blunt, heavy objects is also encouraged)                                 October 1 (Polly Klaas case)

Slap a R.I.C.E.-r Driver! day             June 22 (The day The Fast and the Furious was released)

Slap a Terrorist Sympathizer/ Apologist! day       September 11 (Duh!)

Slap a Mother Fucking, Shit Eating, "I know EVERYTHING! You're just stupid.", Cock Sucking, Close Minded, Selfish, Self-Centered, Holier Than Thou Thinking, Mashed Potatoes for Brains, Spineless, Cowardly... Oh, COME ON! You all KNOW at least one of these!
Every other Tuesday from 9a.m to 3P.M. EST

Yup. I think "Slap a ______! " days will catch on. It'll be the new craze! I am open to suggestions for additional holidays for when I become Ruler of the Universe. :) Oh, and if Hallmark ends up making cards for any of these days, I demand royalties! (Props to Lucky for his suggestions on some of these "Slap a ______!" days!)

Monday......

Super Duper Surprise Cheesey Centered Meat Muffins......

Okay.... So, as I said a few days ago, I'm trying this new thing. I'm posting recipes of noms that we go gaga over. This one actually came from an idea that my boy had. Seriously, it was genius.

Obviously, because I am feeding an army, the measurements of ingredients is pretty large. Fuckin' adjust that shit. It's basic math type stuff.

So, this is the list of shit you're going to need:


2 lbs ground beef
2 lbs ground pork
3 eggs
1/2 c bread crumbs
3 tbls worcestershire sauce
1 large onion, and chop the shit out of that bitch
A SHIT TON of garlic, chopped fine. I usually use about 6-7 cloves. Maybe more. It depends on how offensive I wanna be later.
1/3 c of fresh chopped mint. I know it sounds weird, but it fuckin' works!
a few dashes of that "Italian seasonings" mix
salt/ pepper
1 tub of the Stage 3 Gerber baby food (pick a vegetable flavor)

2 blocks of Cabot Extra Sharp cheddar cut into inch by inch sized cubes. 

Okay, first take all the shit that's in blue, put it into a big fuckin' bowl and mix that shit up. Don't overdo it. Otherwise it'll taste like crap. Seriously.... People make the mistake of mashing the ingredients together too much, and then it all ends up tasting like textureless mash. Yuck.

Once you got that all done, ya gotta start making the meat muffins. Grab a handful of meat, about the size of a baseball, maybe a little smaller. Toss that into a muffin tin. (As shown above in the picture) I end up filling one whole muffin tin and then most of a second one. Now, place a cube of cheese into the center of each meat muffin. I mean bury that fucker in there. Fix the hole (that's the surprise part. When you cut into that meaty goodness, it's like, "SURPRISE! I'm filled with CHEESE!!!!!" Fucking awesome.

Okay, this next part is REALLY fucking important. Put the muffin tins on a cookie sheet. When those bitches start cooking in the oven and all the meat juice starts runnin', it'll spooge out all over the place and you'll end up with a houseful of fuckin' meat juice smoke. It's not fun.

Now, get those cookie sheets into the oven, I don't know, at like 375 and bake the fuck out of them for.... I don't know 25 minutes? I usually guess. Let 'em cool down a bit before you serve them. It's like molten lava inside. It's amusing to see people bite into it and burn their tongues, but it's wrong. I laugh anyway, but it's wrong. You can serve them with ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, plum sauce (AKA Tonkatsu sauce with Japanese hot mustard. Don't know what it is? You have interwebs. Look that shit up yourself!), A-1, plain.... Whatever. It depends on how people like to eat their meat muffins. Obviously, all the ingredients are "adjust to tastes" and adding bacon into the mix ALWAYS makes everything taste better. Just throwing that out there for ya.... Okay.

By the way, you're welcome. This shit is the fuckin' BOMB!

Snow 2014.....

Last winter, we pretty much got spoiled with the mild weather we got. Well, except for that blizzard that basically hammered us and made out lives miserable for a few days..... The year before that was pretty mild too. Well, it would seem that Mother Nature has decided to make up for the years that she "slacked off" and has decided to FLABAMMO us with a whole shit ton of snow this year. Shh... Sh, sh, sh, shh..... I know. I live in New England and snow is to be expected in the winter. I know. Calm your tits. I know that it really shouldn't be a huge surprise that we are experiencing this cold, wintry and appropriately seasonable precipitation. And I don't think I'm necessarily complaining about it either. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass to shovel and having to prepare for these things is inconvenient and getting ANYWHERE in the aftermath of snowstorms is difficult at best because people forget how to drive when there's something other than tar on the roads..... But it's winter in New England. This is normal. This is what it's like. I get it. Okay. But still...... FUCK!!!!!!!

Happiest of Valentine's Days to you.....

My dear sweet Puppy guts, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love you. I hope there is never a need for you to  wonder how strong and deep my feelings are for you. We may have changed a little, grown a lot, but what's been constant is how much I need you in my life.
If my words sometimes fail me, always remember what's in my heart-you stir my soul..... and you always will. Happy Valentine's day to you my dearest Puppy Guts. I truly love you with everything that I am. XOXOXOX

Look how far we've come.....

Ya know? Looking at all the advancements we've made in technology, medicine, communications, and whatnot, and where are we in the grand scheme, where are we really? Alright fine. We're a long way away from archaic and brutal medical practices. Being able to communicate with people has never been easier. We have access to all sorts of information that we couldn't have even fathomed some few decades ago... I get it. But GRAND SCHEME type shit.... The country is in the toilet, on the brink of becoming another failed communist, despot ruled, hell hole. We are still warring both inside and outside the borders of our great nation. And if you think we're not, than you seriously need to come on back to reality. Our borders have been breached by unfriendlies, looking to take over our way of life and assimilate us. There are so few people who are actually SEEING the truth because the majority are slowly succumbing to the brain numbing propaganda that is constantly being spewed at us, constantly spoon fed to us.... Forced down our throats until we stop questioning....

We have illegal immigrants migrating into the United States by the swarms, usurping the resources meant for OUR citizens. Our troops are being treated more like disposable pieces of garbage instead of heroes. We are being kept from our rights as "free citizens", and we're are slowly being plunged back into some barbarian era. "How can we be 'barbarians' when we have computers and all these cool gadgets and medicine and stuff?" you may be asking. I am talking about "all powerful" leaders who use their powers to suit their own needs, the people be damned. And the technology? Seriously. With all the information in the world available at your fingertips, and what are 99% of people doing? Cruising porn sites, looking up videos of stupid people doing stupid shit, harvesting cute kitten gifs, and scrolling through newsfeeds on social media websites.

Don't get me wrong. I'm guilty of my own fair share of screwing around doing stupid shit on the interwebs myself. This blog, for example. I get it. But honestly..... Have you looked up from your smart phones while out and about lately and SEEN the countless tech zombies skulking around you? And you want to try and convince me that we've become "advanced"? Nope.

Our children's education is a joke with this institution of "common core", further dumbing down our next gen. Think about this for a second..... They are the ones who will be running our country one day. The ones making the decisions about the future of our country.... Of the world. Looking at today's youths, I have to say, I am VERY uncomfortable with that. It scares me. A lot. It seriously brings me no measure of comfort at all. Children, in general, these days are bunch of spoiled, indecisive, namby pamby, unmotivated bunch of pansy assed pussies. They have no work ethic. They have no drive or motivation. They are so lacking in some kind of competitive spirit. And I have to say, we're fucking doomed if this all continues. Yeah... For all these so called advancements that we have made, in the grand scheme, we're fucked.

I'm trying something new....

So, I love food. No big secret. I've posted about various whatnots regarding food and told you how yummy it was and shit, but I didn't ever think to share anything beyond that. It won't happen often, but every so often I will pass along some nomminess that you can make at home for yourselves so that you can follow along when I say stuff like, "IT WAS MOUTHGASMIC DELIGHT!!!!!!!" when I'm talking about a certain nom I nommed on. I figured every once in a while I would pop on here and share the recipes for the delicious noms that I made that made me have a screaming orgasm as I nommed all the nommy noms...... Yup. I have decided.... Keep an eye out for them. THEY'LL BE LABELLED UNDER THE FOOD CATEGORY.  And they'll probably just simply have the name of the recipe, like "Beef Curry Stew" in the title or something like that. Keep a look out for them. I REALLY Think that you guys are gonna love the recipes I post and you are gonna want to make them yourselves and nom on them all the time! It's gonna be great! It's all because I love you guys!

:Mwah! Mwah!: Look for recipes! They'll be doozies! I promise! :* It's gonna be great. Just promise you let me know what you thought of the recipes when you're done with them! :)

Snow....

Yup..... It's definitely winter here in New England. We've been hit with snow a few time and there's plenty of this wintry precipitation accumulated outside. Most of it is now all packed down and is nothing more than blocks of ice from where the kids have been stomping around in it and have packed it down to a solid mass, something resembling an iceberg.... But there you have it. The temperatures have gone from frigid negative, below zero to balmy the balmy 50's, which some of us around here would consider "shorts and flip flops weather". Can't really tell what the next day is going to bring and I never really know how I'm going to have to dress on any given day. Sometimes, I'll even need a wardrobe change because the weather and temperature will change so drastically over the course of the day..... Ugh.....

The groundhog went and saw his stupid shadow the other day and so, as the whatever goes, we're supposed to get hit with another six weeks of winter. The way things go around here, it may be shorter, it may be longer. One just doesn't know. I guess we're just gonna have to see what tomorrow brings. Friggin' crazy weather.... :P

Life with a Mia....

People often ask me what it's like to live in my world. Sometimes it's meant sarcastically. Other times it's meant to be purely a curiosity thing. Other times, I don't even know. I think people just wonder how it is that I function day to day. This has been my life since I was born and I don't know of any other way. I wouldn't know what YOUR way is and I TRULY think that if my "-NESS" got shut off, I don't think I'd be able to function any more. I think it would be THEN that I would cease. A normal conversation that takes place between Puppy Guts and me:

PG: Hello? Focus! I'm, serious!
Me: Oooh.... then can I be Harry Potter?
PG: Wha?
Me: Or Dobby! Master has given Dobby a sock......
PG WTF are you talking about?
M: Sorry geekdom cross comboobulation.... Harry Potter reference... Sirius Black.... you said you were serious/ Sirius.... So...... Never mind.
PG: Okay, so as I was saying....
Me: I said boob...... DiscomBOOBulation......  :giggle: <snerk, snerk, snerk>
PG: Oh my GOD WOMAN!!!!!!

Poor Puppy Guts has a permanent palm print on his head from face palming quite often.

Yup. It certainly does take a very special and patient sort to live with a Mia. Most people cannot handle this level of pure awesome. Thank you Puppy Guts. I love you too.

Let it go.......

An open letter to the guy confronting his significant other in the parking lot at the grocery store:

I am sorry you discovered that your girlfriend of three months turned out to be nothing more than a "fucking dirty tramp, nasty, whore bag". I'm not really sure that I (or the other people just trying to get into the store and go about our business) needed to hear about how she told you she "ain't never been done like that before" as you proceeded to graphically describe where you put your tongue and where you jammed your penis and :shudder:  other stuff...... She did "do you wrong like that" if she was "messin' with Jaykwon (I have no idea how to spell it...)" when she was supposed to be with you. Let it go. Let her go. Hold onto to your pride man. Laying on the ground at her feet in the slush and snow and ice and sand and salt, groveling as she laughed and walked away is lower than low. 

And as a side note, perhaps a different venue would have been more appropriate to confront the woman whom you thought was your soul mate. Maybe a more private setting. Seriously. It's tough explaining to a small child how or why certain of body parts go into others and "do stuff". There is really no taking back those words or having a curious child UN-hear them. Seriously dude. There are other fish in the sea. Better luck next time buddy. Fucking idiot. 

Stalkers.....

Amusing = Seeing ex-spouses and their friends and family showing up on our "People You May Know" list on our social media page because they're probably stalking our page. I mean, COME ON! We don't even share common "friends" with most of these people!!!!

Hilarious = When these people accidentally "LIKE"  something that we said on our wall and then try to take it back.

Pee yourself laughing = When they disappear for a while because they blocked you..... Until they get curious again.

A nice day....

In the aftermath of Puppy Guts' oral surgery, he spent the following day with me. I made him a couple of potfuls of homemade miso soup with pork n stuff and tried my best to take care of him. The following day was a dental visit for two of the little ones. It was the first time we had a drama free dentist visit for them. Guts sat in with one, I sat in with the other, no one got bit, stabbed, slapped, hit, punched, kicked or bludgeoned and no tears were shed. I mean, an absolute first. (The kids aren't too fond of going to the dentist.) Afterwards, we went for a tour of the police department that Guts works at, at which time, we took the opportunity to lock the kids up in a cell. The sound when the cell door closes is something ALL children should hear. It's a pretty finite and spine chilling sound. Certainly very sobering. We snapped a couple of pictures and walked around, met a few of Guts' co-workers, and off we went again. We had a leisurely lunch at a local diner and just made a day of it. It was absolutely delightful.

It's not often we get a day like this because of Guts' rotating schedule and his being a midnight shift cop, but when it does happen, it's simply the best. YAY!

Dun, dun, dun DAH!

I don't care who the fuck you are. You HAVE, at least ONCE in your life, "Dun, dun, dun, DAH! Dun, dun, dun, DAH!" -ed the theme song of Mission: Impossible while doing something you ought NOT to be doing or doing something "impossible" or doing SOMETHING that merited it. Shut up. Yes you have. And if you haven't, it's in your mind now and you will. Oh yes. You will. And you will curse me for putting the idea in your head.

Mission: Accomplished. HAH!

Puppy Guts had a tooth boo boo....

I had to take Puppy Guts to the dentist to get his one and only wisdom tooth removed. It affected a couple of other teeth, which, consequently, had to be removed too. In order to accomplish the teeth extraction, he had to be sedated...... For the first time in his life. Now, considering how the eldest of the brood reacted to HIS sedation, Guts was afraid he might wake up dazed and confused, which could be a dangerous thing considering his size, strength, training and street experience. The doc explained to Guts that it wasn't a full out general he was being given. It was something called a "twilight" sedation. Of course My Puppy Guts responds by saying, "I swear, if I wake up a sparkly, gay vampire, you will never be dead enough....." Then it was lights out, night-night.

Well, it turned out that, although dazed and confused, he was about as dangerous as a three year old ballerina. Why do I say this? Not sparkly, certainly not gay and not a vampire either. Just a fluttery wobbly ballerina..... I managed to get him into the car, at which point, I drove him to the nearest CVS to get his scripts filled. Pain meds, antibiotics and some super medicated mouthwash. While we were waiting for the meds to be filled, he flitted along the aisles in this fluttery movement. His giant head flopped around, leading the rest of his muscular body around, as his arms sort of flopped and waved behind him...... I guessed that it was his drugged mind's version of Swan Lake. It wasn't graceful and he did bump into a few things and I did have to explain to the other patrons that he was still feeling the effects of the sedation from an oral surgery. People didn't seem to mind. They just moved out of his way and enjoyed the show..... It was absolutely adorable. Not long after, I got him home, gave him some soup, dosed him with some pain pills, and an antibiotic, and tucked him into bed. He insists that I may have bricked him in the temple, judging by the way his lights went out. Several hours later, we were back downstairs on the couch and enjoying some time together until it was bedtime for Bonzo again. I put him to bed PROPAH, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I thoroughly enjoyed, and we went to sleep. I stayed vigilant all night to make sure that he kept comfortable and all his needs were met throughout the night. and he survived his first night.... It was pretty awesome having my Puppy Guts waking up next to me, a little puffy in the face and say, "Thank you for taking great care of me, Kitten.... I love you so much!"

You are always very welcome, Puppy Guts. I love you too. With everything that I am. I'll get you some more soup now.......

So, what makes a crappy movie a crappy movie?

Seriously, I love stupid, campy, plotless, nonsensical movies. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the hell out of the Harry Potter movies. I loved LOTR. I watched some of those other epic multi gojillion dollar budget movies too. And I enjoyed the fuck out of them. Does that make them good movies? Well, not always. Some of them were just fucking stupid as hell and totally NOT worth the time I spent watching them. Like..... Romeo Must Die and The Transporter can just fuck themselves. They can fuck themselves right to hell. I am never going to get that time back. There are others, but those are just a couple off the top of my head. I get that there are ways to determine what an "great movie" is using cinematography and lighting and makeup and special effects and all that. Sure it makes for great sequences. Especially when things start blowing up and all sorts of things are happening all over the place. It becomes an ADHD person's world of visual stimulation influx overload and their minds explode. But does that make it great? What of the story lines and plots and sub plots and writing and lines and line deliveries? Then the characters themselves. Was the part acted well enough. Was it convincing? Did you feel the emotions watching some guy play pretend on the big screen? But is that it? I mean, you have this whole set of scenes that play out over the course of a movie that eventually leads to it's conclusion and what do you come away with it? The movie could have been written, directed, performed and played out beautifully, and you feel all YAY. Fine. A great movie. Then there are others that others would dismiss as stupid, but somehow, it made you laugh pr cry or feel something or whatever. I don't think it'd be fair to discount those movies because it didn't have a gojillion dollar budget and an all star cast. Maybe it was the company that your with that makes a stupid movie a great one. Maybe because it was SO fucking stupid that it made the movie a great one. There is still no denying that you yourself have one of those "stupid movies" that you hold close to yoru heart simply because you didn't think it was all that bad, even though it was. There were still some redeeming qualities of that movie that make you say, "It really wasn't THAT bad...."

Yes, I root for the underdogs sometimes. and I will FULL ON ADMIT Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was one of my all time hands down favorite movies in the history of forever. There. I said it. Judge me if you must, but Bill and Ted's is mine. Shut up.

TAH DAH!!!!!!

Yeah, so I'm back. Did ya miss me? Not really? Okay. Anyway, to recap what's been going on over the last couple weeks since I took some time: Yada, yada, yada, my birthday, yada, yada, I'm looking for a job, yada, yada, I ran across assholes, I told people off, I spread my sarcasm onto the world, my brain kept doing it's thing, I remembered to keep breathing, the world kept spinning, the sun kept rising and setting, day became night became day became night and so on, yada, yada, fucking groundhog saw his shadow and now there's a shit ton of snow outside. YAY WINTER!

Anyway, the content really isn't going to improve or anything. Neither is the writing. It'll still continue to be the same dribble that you've been seeing here since I began this blog. I may or may not be on every day like I have been. But I'll be around. I'm still just a chimp with a keyboard and WAY too much going on inside my pea brain and this is a great outlet for me to get it all out there. WOO HOO!!!!! Thanks for stopping by!
