Deer & guns & t-shirts, OH MY!

It must be the leaves falling... the red, orange & yellow all over the ground.
Maybe it's the cooler temps or maybe it's the pickup trucks with people in camo driving around.

It's hunting season.

And I just can't seem to do any designs besides hunting lately. It's kinda sad. Anytime I open my graphics program to work I want to open up deer and gun images.

The husband is going hunting this year - it's been a few years. Someday I'll go again.... not this year though. I'll just stay home and make deer hunting tshirts.

Our Oliver - Mr. Personality.
Who has new friends... Demon #1 got fish for her birthday last week and Oliver seems to enjoy them more than anyone in the house!

Friday Fill-in & Food 4 Thought Friday

Trying out a new meme today :)



1. October always makes me think of orange and I'm not sure why. Pumpkins maybe?
2.You Can't scare me! (total shamless plug here -----> click )
3. Leaves are falling all around, it's time to get my kids and the dogs out into the woods and take some pictures!
4. My favorite horror movie is A Nightmare on Elm Street because it's the first movie I watched and wasn't scared (Psycho was the first) and now our oldest demon is named after one of the characters in the 3rd movie!
5. Those years when I was still young enough to go TorT'ing = good memories. (this is October related afterall!)
6. It was a dark and stormy night when my anxiety would boil over when we lived in the trailer house. Now that we have a house, doesn't bother me.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hopefully getting the demons to go to the Homecoming game (why won't they go to football games?? Thats the BEST part of school!), tomorrow my plans include sleeping in and Sunday, I want to go to church and not have demon #2 be antsy and drive me nuts!

and..... another meme!



Breakfast
What actor/actress would be most believeable to play you in a movie? It's not because I have this huge lesbian crush on her, either, but I'd have to say Angelina Jolie. For so many reasons. She's beautiful and would make me look better than I actually am, she has a rough exterior but you can just see the softness beneath her skin.... plus she plays a kickass mental patient so she could really do the crazy part of me in the best way.

Lunch
If you were stranded on a lonely beach, what are the five things that you would want to survive? Ok, reading this question it could go either way... what are 5 things I want to survive? Well, one of them would be ME! I'd want me to survive... then I suppose all of the vegitation so I'd have something to eat... um... if I'm stranded by myself then nothing else would be there besides me & the vegitation.
but I know where this question was going so.... 1. a big knife 2. shelter that would withstand a hurricane 3. a good supply of some type of food.. plant life, whatever 4. a big ball of baler twine 5. my husband.
Not my kids - they would drive me to leap off a cliff or something. Just my husband.

wait... nevermind. He'd probably drive me to do the same thing. #5 is Saki. She can fight off rats and stuff for me anyway.

Dinner
What terms of endearment does your significant other call you? What do you call them? Honey. Thats about it both ways. We NEVER call each other by our first names, though, it's funny. It's always "honey".

Midnight Snack
If you could be a fly on the wall, where would you go and why? Mel Gibsons shower. Need I explain why?

Recipe for this Week
(instead of your recipe for life - what is it for just this week?) Just like any other day - don't sweat the small stuff. If it won't matter in 10 years - don't worry about it.

Someone wants to be my friend

and I don't want to be his friend.

I wish he'd get off my laptop.

Flies are icky.

I wish he'd hold still so I can squash him.

He'll stay still for a picture. Go figure.

How come if you go at a fly who is on your laptop screen he'll fly away quick as a cricket... but if you put your cursor underneath him he won't move? Can flies not see things that are on my laptop screen and they are only able to see my hand coming at them in a murderous rampage type fashion? I think its silly. Don't they have like a million eyes or something like that? They should be able to see under them, too.

I'm mad at this fly.

Thusday Thunks... wet socks, super powers, baby oil and fights

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
I'm gonna have to go with a wet sock. You could stick toothpicks and wires in the sock to make it more sturdy. I think toothpicks and wires would go right through a banana peel. Plus, bananas are gross.

Your superpower is that you smell like dandelions whenever someone lies. How will you maintain your secret identity?
Move to the moutains, adopt a cougar, a raccoon and a herd of deer and become a female Grizzly Adams. Won't have to worry about talking to people. Animals don't have the ability to lie.

Create a tagline for a new line of plastic bedsheets.
The most slippery things you will ever sleep on. Just add some baby oil and hang on!

If the Pillsbury Dough Boy got into a fight with Mrs. Butterworth who would win? And would anybody get hurt?
Mrs. Butterworth, of course! Anyone knows that that mama would kick that little puff boys white ass.

WW - A dogs life

THursday Thunks v9.25

Welcome to the Thursday Thunks! Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

This week we will answer:

A simple question. What makes you feel old? That is on my mind today because what makes me feel old is the fact that 14 years ago today I was giving birth for the first time. I was 21 years old.... 14 years ago I was 21. My baby girl that was just 7lbs is now a 14 year old moody teenager. I don't feel old enough to have a 14 year old. Not even close.

.... and tell your friends!


Don't forget to link back to us and visit other's Thursday Thunks and comment!

Sunday Stealing

I had nothing else to do tonight and noticed Kimber, once again, did another meme.... seems that just a couple months ago she was getting pissy at me because she didn't understand what a meme even was. Now she does so many it makes my head spin. So I'm stealing it and doing it.

Cheers to all us thieves!

Sunday Stealing: The "All About Me" Meme

Complete each sentence.

I am: not sure why I'm doing this.

I think: it's probably to get out of making supper tonight.

I know: I'm not hungry and when I'm not hungry I have no desire to cook - even if my family is starving.

I have: taught them all to use the microwave.

I wish: they would use it.

I hate: it when I sit down at this laptop to do something and thats when the dogs decide they want in.

I miss: my bestest friend, Missy, and our morning coffees.

I fear: a lot of stupid thing. Today was falling off the dock at the lake. Like I was going to fall off - but my feet were frozen and I wanted to cry.

I hear: some movie with Jodie Foster playing in the background. The husband is watching it.

I smell: nothing. Because the dogs are outside.

I crave: a cigarette.

I search: I just can't get past Kimber's answer -- I search on Google.

I wonder: what you are wondering about.

I regret: many things, but yet I don't know that I would change them if I could.

I love: my demons, my husband, my bestest friend, my best friend, my other friends (who aren't less important, but they don't have a special name), my family, my pets and my flannel sheets.

I ache: every fricken morning.

I am not: impressed that my demon #1 just pushed a rug across the kitchen.

I believe: that I just taught my child the basic law of noodle cooking. "Do I have to use exactly 6 cups?" Of course not.

I dance: to embarrass my children.

I sing: country songs.

I cry: a lot lately.

I fight: with my demons about stupid things.

I win: ....... I have no answer for this.

I lose: at most fights with the demons.

I never: not wake up in the morning.

I always: wipe after I relieve myself.

I confuse: everyone I come into contact with.

I listen: to my husband snore at night and demon #2 snore from across the house.

I can usually be found: on InsanityCafe or Facebook - phsycially? Sitting right here at my kitchen table.

I am scared: of pretty much everything nowadays.

I need: to pee.

I am happy about: that the demons are cooking their own food now.

I imagine: a world with many golden puppies.

It's a Sunday

I'm sitting here watching the clock tick down until the girls leave for PopTalk/Confirmation Class so I can jump in the shower and get myself ready for church.

Parents have to go to church as a requirement starting this year. Parents should go to church with their children, it's only common sense, but this year the parents have to answer questions - just like the students - about the church service/sermon. I don't know how I feel about that.

Yeah I do. I don't like it. I don't like being told that I HAVE to go to church every Sunday and I sure don't like having "homework" attached to it. While you are in confirmation classes, sure... makes sense. But why the parents? It takes a lot away from the reason you are going to church in the first place, IMO.

I left the Catholic church because of their rules and I fell in love with the Lutheran church because of the laid back, welcoming feel when you walk in the door. I never felt welcomed at a Catholic church like I do at ours. But now? Now all of a sudden there is this obligation attached to going and I don't like that. I want to go because I want to go... not because someone tells me I have to go so I can answer questions so my children can be confirmed.

I just think it's wrong. It's like having to pass some graduation test so my child can graduate from high school.

Me & a candy bar - my Thursday Thunk

Ok did anyone expect me NOT to say what I'm about to say?

I'd be a Peanut Butter Cup, of course!

Not just because I love them to the point that they have become a necessity in life, but because ... well, once you know me, like a PBCup... I become a necessity in your life. Could you imagine a world with no PBCups? Ask those who know me & love me what a world would be like without me.

You'll get the same answer.

Peanut Butter & chocolate go together in many different ways - as I do. I can get along with a variety of personality types. (maybe I'm a variety of personality types)

Best of all.. delicious. Which I am. I am just a delicious part of anyone's life. A must have.... an addiction of sorts. I'm perfect anytime of year, any month, any time of day. In the morning I'm the best - with a cup of coffee of course. Mornings are WONDERFUL times of the day! I'm great in the afternoon and perfect as a bedtime snack.

I'm also very full of myself, which is what happens when PBCups are around - I fill up on them!



*note: I am usually not full of myself... or so vain. Only in extreme silly moods, which now is one of those times.
