Wordless Wednesday - Version 5.28

Nicotine & Stuff

Logged into the Chantix Support website today because I hadn't in awhile and I was greeted with the words:

"It's been 129 days since you quit."

and...

"Not buying cigarettes may have saved you: $774"

Now, remember... the husband quit, too, so we can double that. And thats on the low end.

Another Memorial Wknd....

Well, we tried. Tornado Watches brought us home again today. Crappy weather all around - hazy, cold, windy. But we tried.

Thats the nice thing about camping at the lake - we are 5 miles from home. If the weather sucks, we can go home really easy. We aren't stuck having a miserable weekend if we don't have to.

But I did remember to grab my memory stick today, so I got a few pics.

The Husband

The lake was cold... 50some degrees, but that didn't stop Demon #2 from getting wet!

Saki's first trip to the lake... luckily she doesn't quite understand that she's looking at a big giant puddle. She still has 2 days until her stitches come out, so we had to keep her as dry as possible.

Next weekend we'll let her experience the real lake adventure!Demon #1 hung out in the hammock a lot.

and lets not forget the star of the day.... Happy Birthday Chico! He spent the day with his best friend, Saki, of course!As last week, I'm throwing this up for Weekly Winners, Weekend Snapshot and Camera Critters.

Try Again Sunday

Hoping for a better day today out at the lake... rain, rain, go away, come again another day.....

oh... and today maybe I'll remember the memory stick for my camera.

M.I.A.

I'll be MIA this weekend.... I'm going FISHING!!!!

I'm gonna catch me one of these....

Naughty Thinking this morning

Guess I was thinking a little naughty this morning... I worked fairly long on these two snowmobile t-shirt designs, which I normally don't do (at least not as long as I did.) But anyway, here are the results -

Sledders Do It In The Snow

Sleds are like Women - You need to work on them for 3 hours to get a 15 minute ride!

Want them? Ok, go get them here.

I'm in a pissy mood.

I'll get over it soon, but I just need to let this out.

Slept like shit last night. Dog took over most of the bed and I couldn't push her out of the way because I was afraid I'd push where her stitches are, so I was a nice mama and let her be comfortable.

Stupid dog.

I get up this morning to find that she tore off the bandages on her paws even though she has the cone on. Two stitches are chewed out. Bandages are nowhere to be found.

I bet they are digesting.

Stupid dog.

She rings the bell... I put her out.

I get up, make coffee and go to the computer.

Dog wants back in.

Go back to the coffee maker and the fricken thing didn't make any coffee!!!!!! Turn it off, turn it back on... have to wait for my coffee again.

Stupid machine.

Dog rings the bell again to go out. I put her out.

She wants back in.

Stupid dog.

I start waking up the demon spawns from the devil himself. It took 1/2 hour to wake up #1, 45 minutes to wake up #2.

Stupid... ok, I won't say that.

Dog rings the bell again to go out. I put her out.

She wants back in.

Stupid dog.

Demons get up, start getting ready. Well, they only have 15 fricken minutes until the bus comes and they know I won't drive their sorry asses to school. As Demon #2 is walking through the kitchen I hold out her pill container to give her her pills and say "here Bear, take your pills"... she walks right by me and doesn't say a word. She proceeds to put her shoes on and I'm chewing her ass for not acknowledging the fact that I spoke words to her.

.... can I say it yet?

Dog rings the bell again to go out. I put her out.

She wants back in.

Stupid dog.

Demon takes the pills and goes outside.

I go upstairs and both demons left their bedroom lights on!

I really, really want to say it.......

Yes, dear readers, Kittilicious - The Blog has changed names to a Straight Jacket & a Padded Room.

Seemed more fitting with less than 365 days until I am the parent of two teenagers!

This weekend pretty much revolved around Demon #2's 12th birthday....

I'll throw it up for a Sunday WW, too!

Can't forget the Camera Critters, too!

Due to Saki's surgery, she isn't much of a photogenic canine this week, so Chico gets the limelight!

Just a normal ring, please.

I love my friends & family, I really do but there are a certain few of them that I HATE to call. Why? Because they feel the need to have these stupid ass answer tones. Why do people use these? You choose something YOU like, but YOU never hear it... only people calling you do. I have a friend, love her to death, who has Ron White's "Tater Salad" comedy routine as the tone... so every time I call her I get to hear Ron White tell me about how when he was arrested the cop asked him if he was Ron "Tater Salad" White.

I've been hearing it for months... maybe years, even decades, I don't know.

I now hate it.

I was channel surfing yesterday and came across that and I just about threw the remote at the tv. SHUT UP!!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR DRUNKEN ESCAPES DID TO YOU!!!!

I now will never be able to watch/listen that one again.... and it was my favorite of his.

It's like a broken record. Why do people do this? The worst ones are of songs that you don't even know.. or can't understand because the quality is so shitty. People, just let it be. I just want to hear a ring - nothing more. Save this stuff for your own ring-tone... so YOU can hear it over and over and over and over again, leave the answer tones to just a plain old ring-ring.

Whats funny is that these people FORGET what they even have as their answer tones because THEY NEVER HEAR IT!!

"Oh I just love that song!"

THEN WHY AM I FORCED TO LISTEN TO IT?!?!?! PUT IT AS YOUR RING TONE, NOT A FRICKEN ANSWER TONE!

If you have some family & friends who have stopped calling you or don't call you as often... do you have an answer tone? They just might be sick of hearing it.

Take it off.

Responsible Pet Owner, I Am (Don't let my human babies have surgery!)

I was a responsible pet owner and had my sweet baby spayed (and her dew claws removed... I think she thought they were actual thumbs because she always tried to use them as such. I have the scratches to prove it!!).

My poor Saki girl... she's so pathetic! When she goes potty or poop she makes me wanna cry! She stands there with those big puppy dog eyes crying "Mama, it hurts!!!".


Chico is being a spaz, actually he's just being a typical canine, he's growling & barking at her every chance he gets - but he won't leave her side. Go figure.

Good God, please don't ever let one of my human babies have surgery... I won't be able to handle it.

Happy Birthday Kristina-Bear

Doesn't seem like 11 years ago we celebrated my baby's (aka Demon #2) 1st birthday.

But it is.

Today is my youngest, my baby, Krissy's 12th birthday.

What I wouldn't give for those terrible two's again... back when she couldn't sleep unless it was right next to her big sister (now, of course, they are lucky they can sleep in the same house without fighting!)...

... back when she would fall asleep every night with a book in hand.

.... oh wait, she still does that....

back to loose teeth and tooth fairies.... and frosting on faces....

....oh wait... she still gets frosting on her face....back to devilish grins that meant trouble was brewing....

.... oh wait, she still does that too.....

back to the innocence of childhood.... when a pile of leaves was still the most fun in the worldback to when her world was pink and if it wasn't pink she wouldn't wear it....but I guess even knocking on the doors of being a teenager, I will find more "back whens" 12 years from today.
Until then, I will still sit and wonder where the last 12 years have gone and what happened to my baby bear and when the hell did she grow up without me seeing?
