Hiding from Mom & pure randomness


Kristina Demon #2 hiding behind her Tomagotchi (this is the "thing" that I don't know how to feed or clean it's poop)


Taryn Demon #1 hiding behind a slinky.

Nope, neither one are good at hiding.

Every met Miss Serena Rosabella?

This is the queen (bitch) of the house, Serena Rosabella. She's 9 years old and we've had her since she was a kitten. She knows she's pretty and she uses it to her advantage.


Just some paws...

Where or where have those t-shirts gone?

So I got an email today from someone looking for those Team Tweed & Team Simmons t-shirts that I had posted a few days ago. Seems they couldn't find them. Well here they are. There is also Team Shannon & Team Gene ones too.

All it ever takes is an email - kitty@insanitycafe.com Go for it... ask me anything!

Ok, not anything.

By the way... anyone know of a home remedy for fricken pimples? At 35 years old I'm finally getting the little buggers. Or do you know of a certain product that I should try?

The husband's ugly green sled



This is the big project that he worked months on... it's a Kawasaki Invader that he made into a race sled. He hasn't raced it yet though.

Time flies when you are having fun

Demon #1 had an orthodontist appointment at 9:30 this morning... got outta there at 10:00 and we headed to WalMart.

I let her skip school the rest of the day because
  1. I am Mom and I have the power.
  2. She's getting close to straight A's
  3. It was a Taryn & Mom day

I called the husband to tell him we were going... he told me to remember peanut butter & bread. Ok.

So we get to Walmart at about 10:30 and start shopping.

We get done with shopping and head home... I call the husband on the way home.

Him- "Where are you?"
Me- "Driving."
Him- "Where from?"
Me- "Walmart."
Him- "Just now?"
Me- "Yeah, why?"
Him- "Do we have any money left?"
Me- "Yeah, why?"


I look at the clock.... it's after 12:00!!! We spent an hour and 1/2 in Walmart shopping! I didn't even notice until he said something!

Things that make you go "Yeaaaaaaa!!!"

Lucky Charms was on sale at the grocery store yesterday... 3 for $6!!! Now thats something to get excited about. We are talking orgasmic excited. Yes, it's that exciting. It's Lucky Charms! Geez, don't you understand?



If you know me, you know that I love my Lucky Charms. It's one of the only cereals I'll eat. I love Peanut Butter Crunch, but it tears up the roof of my mouth so I don't eat it. I used to love Honey Nut Corn Flakes, but like many products that I fall in love with, they quit making it. I have now resorted to Honey Nut Chex. They are not Corn Flakes, but they'll do.

If they ever quit making Lucky Charms.... we don't want to go there.

No, seriously, we don't.

All GM cereals were on sale, so Demon #1 got her favorite - Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

See? I'm not a bad mom - I think of my kids.

Occasionally.

Good Morning

It's 5:30 in the fricken morning. One of the downsides of the husband getting up at 2am is the husband gets up at 2am.

Dog starts whining, she has to go outside.

Dog comes in, jumps in bed. When the hell did she get so big?

"Honey, why are my shirts folded?"
"I ran out of hangers"

Kiss on the cheek and away he goes... driving the big truck into the sunrise.

There's no sunrise at 3am. But there is a huge feeling of being upset pissed off when you are lying there in bed realizing that you are in no way going to fall back to sleep.

So upstairs I go to see if the internet functions at 3am. It does, did you know that? People are actually awake at 3am, other than me! Ok, she doesn't count. She lives in the UK. But alas! I hear a voice coming from the end of the hallway....

"Mom, what time is it?"
"4:00"
"in the morning?"
"Yeah"
"Ok."

Demon #2 proceeds to get up, get dressed and go downstairs. So she's awake now, too. Great. Crabby kid alert at 6pm tonight!

Oh... and the dogs are now sleeping on my bed.

Wanna Treat?

KISS - Family Jewels

I'm a KISS fan, so is the husband. We saw them... THEM, the original 4, when they first went back into makeup. Our best friends & us went to the concert in 1997. Thats a whole 'nother blog post - cool concert. We got within feet from the band.

So it's only right that we watch Gene Simmon's reality tv show. I'm not a big reality tv show watcher because, well... it's scripted. I don't care how many times you tell me it isn't, it is. Plus you are watching, what? 20 minutes of out of their weekly lives? (gotta take 10 minutes for commercial breaks, ya know!) You can't know someone's personality or personal habits by looking into 20 minutes of their weekly life. Even 20 minutes a day would be difficult to really learn someone!

But still... I watch. I love Gene and I love Shannon Tweed. Like my husband, I have a thing for her. She's hot, it's not like it's not well known information or anything.

So last week is the whole thing about Gene taking the lie detector test - I think this is going to change the opinions of many people once we find out the results. If he hasn't been with that many women - men aren't going to worship him anymore as some type of sex god. If he's has been... people like me are going to be pissed off at him for doing that to Shannon.

Either you are on Team Tweed or Team Simmons - just like the shirts Shannon found on the show. Now after the show I searched for those t-shirts and couldn't find them to save my life! But now, they are findable, thanks to me.



and more....

On The Pot For 2 Years! - Insanity Cafe

On The Pot For 2 Years! - Insanity Cafe: "Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

'We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,' Whipple said. 'The hospital removed it.'

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

'She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body,' Whipple said. 'It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself.'

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

'And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'' Whipple said. 'According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.'"


All I have to say about this whole thing is .... pay attention to the sheriff's name!

wcco.com - 8th-Grader Suspended For Candy In Conn. School

wcco.com - 8th-Grader Suspended For Candy In Conn. School: "8th-Grader Suspended For Candy In Conn. School
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) ― Contraband candy has led to big trouble for an eighth-grade honors student in Connecticut.

Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate.

School spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo says the New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy.

Michael's suspension has been reduced from three days to one, but he has not been reinstated as class vice president.

He says he didn't realize his candy purchase was against the rules, but he did notice the student selling the Skittles on Feb. 26 was being secretive."


WTF? I don't even really know what to say. Zero tolerance is one thing, but come on, people!
