The Blog Outside The Box Meme
Ok we are doing another one... the "outside the box" caught me. I'm hooked.
The Blog Outside The Box Meme
This meme is all about using your imagination. Free your inner blogginess. Step outside the proverbial blox (that's blog + box for all you non-blog speakers). Answer theseridiculous situational questions and post them on your own blog. Here's the situation for today. We won't tell a soul. And remember:
1. You are in court. You are in deep doo-doo. What did you do? ('Cause if you want, I might could talk to the judge and get your sentence reduced to Bloggingham dungeon time.)
I sold the kids to the gypsies... finally. I didn't know it was illegal, honest!
2. Your blog just became a best-selling book . What is the title of your book ?
Crap 101
3. It is midnight. The phone rings. It is Michael Jackson calling from the Great Beyond.
What would you like to ask him?
Are the damn kids yours biologically or not?
4. You are having your future told. The fortune teller looks in the crystal ball, screams and leaves the room in fright. What did they see?
My demons being returned to me by order of the judge and they never move out of the house.
I didn't do anything dammit! I never fricken swear in this damn blog. Ever.
6. You suddenly become God Of The Universe. What would your first Commandment be?
I'm God, dammit.
I have a bag of peanut butter cups in the very back of the fridge... you can't see it unless you move something, which you know that demons never move things.

The Double Stealing Meme
Sunday Stealing: The Double Stealing Meme
1. If you could turn back the hands of time to correct one wrongdoing, what event would you choose and why?
the election that Bush won....
2. Are you one for tradition? If so, what traditions do you strongly believe in? If not, what makes tradition hypocritical?
I like tradition, but I really can't think of one off hand that I can write about. Boy that doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? I have a headache... I can't think straight. Sue me.
3. You were taking part in an event and you had to crossplay, who would you crossplay as and why?
I don't have the foggiest clue what the hell you are talking about.
4. If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend your last day? Would you be tempted to live fatally if you knew you were to die the next day, and if so, what extreme measures would you take?
I'd spend it with family... and on the phone with those who couldn't be there with me. Maybe I'd fly to Arizona. I don't know, ask me that day. Knowing me I'd just spend the day in a panic attack.
5. What are your top five sinful materialistic items, ones you'd expect from others including those closest to you? Why are each in the position they are in?
This seems like a simple question, but the end throws me. Is this a Bud question with the positioning of the items?
6. I am... still trying to figure out those 2 questions...
7. I feel... like horseshit warmed over. I woke up with a headache.
8. I see... a kitten running around playing with a golfball. She doesn't want anyone to be asleep right now.
9. I need... to win the lottery.
10. I love... many things.
11. I wish... this headache would go away.
12. I think... you are probably sick of hearing about my headache.
13. I hear... Serena crunching the cat food.
14. I crave... relief
15. I fear... that one day my kids will be out of the house and never want to come visit me.
16. I hope… thats not the case.

Wedding Bell Blues
Saturday 9: Wedding Bell Blues
1. If you have been or are married, tell us about your wedding. If you are not, tell us how would you want it to be.
It was sweet. Totally casual, people had beers in their hands while we said "I do". I wanted to be barefoot, but the husband said he wouldn't marry me without shoes on. Yeah, I don't know either. We roasted a hog, had a friend run the stereo for our make-shift DJ service. It was great! Cheap (because we had no money) but it was so fun... I wouldn't have changed a thing. Except I would have kept my shoes off. I still don't get that.
2. What age would you encourage your children to get married?
I don't think there is a perfect age. It all depends where you are at in your life.
3. Who got married at the last wedding that you attended?
the bride & groom
4. Do you enjoy weddings and receptions?
most of them, yes. If they don't play the Chicken Dance the whole thing wasn't worth it.
5. Have you cried at a wedding?
Not yet
6. Would you prefer a lavish event or a intimate ceremony?
Lavish is for the birds. Who are you trying to impress anyway?
7. Have you ever been in some one’s wedding party? If yes, do tell.
Twice. My sisters when I was around 11 or something and my bestest friends'. Hers was comical because I was 8 months pregnant.... she's got stories about that that she loves to tell. I'll just keep my mouth shut.
8. Does a wedding make you happy and sentimental or grouchy and skeptical?
Depends on who is getting married. If the husband becomes the ex and he gets married I might just be a little grouchy. If my demons get married I'll probably be one of those blubbery idiot moms that everyone want to lock in the coat closet.
9. Why do you think our divorce rate is so high?
Divorce is too easy. Plus nobody takes marriage seriously. I got into an argument with someone once... he tried to tell me that his marriage vows meant more than mine did. Funny how he's divorced now and I'm not. I guess I won that argument. Yea me!

Peanut Butter on ice cream
Ok since alot of people seemed to comment on my peanut butter melted on ice cream in my last post...This is my own creation. I'll try peanut butter with anything once. I take vanilla ice cream and start scooping it up into a bowl. In the meantime there is peanut butter melting in the microwave. Vanilla ice cream from Schwans is the best. More expensive, but well worth it. If you don't have a Schwans ice cream truck that comes to your door - I'm sorry for your loss.
The peanut butter trick - for years I just melted it in a cup, but honestly it is the worst thing to clean up. I refrained from having my favorite treat because of the clean up. So I had a brainstorm. Take a spoonful of peanut butter and put it into a sandwich baggie. Fold the baggie and microwave it for about 40 seconds. Make sure it's all melted good. Take a snip out of the corner of the bag.... pour onto the ice cream! And the best part? Throw the baggie away! No mess.
I also add chocolate (Nestle Quik is the best), but always add the peanut butter first because the cold ice cream will cool the hot peanut butter... and the chocolate (which I keep in the fridge even before initially opened) will cool it from the top.
Now, if you like chocolate, peanut butter and ice cream I suggest not trying this at home. Seriously. Instant addiction. And don't come back and yell at me. I warned you.

Bringing scratch & sniff stickers to your graduation party
Welcome to the July 9th version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by
Berleen, the number 141 and the color of your underwear.
1. Do you tend to have a guilty conscious?Far too much.
Nope. Got them removed soon after Demon #1 was born... and she got 2 of hers removed yesterday!
3. Peanut Butter - creamy or crunchy?
Creamy. Melted on top of ice cream preferably.
4. Get up off your butt. Take 5 steps. Which leg did you start out on?
My right. I'd fall on my face if I tried with the other. Trust me, it's happened.
5. What color is your favorite kitchen utensil?
Brown and made of wood.... I love my wooden spoons!
6. Did you watch the Michael Jackson memorial/funeral?
I did. I watched the entire thing. I didn't mean to, but it really ended up being more interesting/entertaining than I expected it to be.
7. Do you know anyone who graduated from high school this year?
Were you invited to their graduation party? Did you go?
A few. I went to one grad party. My neighbors.
8. White with black stripes or black with white stripes?
black with white stripes. But honestly... I'd prefer a little bit of orange mixed in.
9. If we were to call your 6th grade teacher, what would they say about you?
Which one? I had a couple. The last one would probably say something about me being the "new kid that none of the girls liked"
10. Can you draw a perfect circle?
No, but I can draw a damn good oval!
11. What was your favorite scratch & sniff sticker scent?
I don't even remember the scents. Why did I ask this question? Oh wait... I remember the popcorn ones!
12. What does your sibling do for a living?
This is really sad... I have 4 siblings and I can't think of what they actually do at work.
13. How many light switches and electrical outlets are in the room that you are in right now?
7
14. Do you know sign language?
A little bit. Took a sign language class in college. I can read it better than I can do it.
15. Do you step on cracks in the sidewalk?
I try not to. It bugs me.
16. And the sheets on your bed look like....?
Pastel stripes. I wish I still had my flannel leopard print but the husband thinks its too hot for those.
17. What is something that everyone else has, but you don't?
A dishwasher and I'm ok with that.
Pay attention to the last paragraph in this blog post.
Berleen & Kimber wanted to thank all you Thunkers for playing! This is rapidly becoming a very popular meme...you all love us, you really really love us! When we started Thursday Thunks, there was 3-4 usually a week. We try to read and comment on each Thunker each week. As a work at home mom and a stay at home/homeschooling mom, we don't always have the time. Life tends to get in the way. We do want you to know we love and appreciate your participation!!! If we don't get a chance to comment, don't be upset. Please try to visit at least a few fellow Thunkers each week. People like it when you visit.
But hey... if you really miss us you can always join us over at the InsanityCafe Community & Forums. It's a small online community that offers some sanity to our strange world. And hey... you think Thursday Thunks is weird? You ain't seen nothing yet! (and we hand out free meds!)

Hold The Knob, Wear Clean Shoes And Enjoy The Insanity!
Welcome to the July 2nd version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by
Kimber, the number 14 and the color of your mother's hair dye.
1. When you close a door, do you close it quick and just let it slam or do you hold the knob and slowly shut it tight?
Strangely enough... now follow along here... I close the door by pulling on the knob on the opposite side of the door as I walk out of the room, then just before my hand gets squished I let go and the door magically follows it's movement into a closed fashion.
2.Train A is moving at 60 miles an hour. Train B is moving at 22 miles an hour. They will pass each other at X time. Now what color shoes are you wearing when train A derails?
Where in Gods green earth did you come up with this one, Kimberella? I don't even understand it, to be honest. Why the hell does train A derail anyway when they passed each other? And knowing me, I'm barefoot.3. What if M&M's grew on trees? What color M&M tree would you have?
This was my question and I'll tell you why. My neighbors tree looks like it has red, orange & yellow M&M's on it. I think it's a crabapple tree or something but it's the funniest thing.
But if they really grew on trees? In July I would lay underneath them and catch the dripping chocolate as it fell... because as long as you don't pick them they will melt. Remember, M&M's don't melt in your hands.

4. How many petals on a flower does it take to make it the perfect bloom?
as long as its balanced with the same number of petals on either side of the flower, it's perfect.

5. I took you to spend $421.67 on you, what did we spend that money on?
a plane ticket for you to come home with me.
a plane ticket for you to come home with me.
6. If you were a squash, what type of squash would you be?
an acorn squash... cooked with brown sugar and butter
an acorn squash... cooked with brown sugar and butter
7. Have you ever gotten a wrong number call and ended up talking to the person for longer than 5 minutes?I don't believe so.
8. Why haven't you joined Berleen & Kimber at Insanity Cafe yet? Do we stink?
Hello. I am Berleen and I did join you... errr... us. Can I really join myself?
Hello. I am Berleen and I did join you... errr... us. Can I really join myself?
9. Now for one of Ber's questions back when TT was brand new... Shampoo bottles say lather, rinse, repeat... do you?
Never. And it still puzzles me everytime I'm in the shower why it says to do that.
Never. And it still puzzles me everytime I'm in the shower why it says to do that.
10. It's July, the year is half over. Do you see it as "whew that part is over" or best is yet to come?
There are more warmer months left than colder so it's all good
There are more warmer months left than colder so it's all good
11. Why do you do the Thursday Thunks meme?

What the hell did you do that for?
I can see people asking me that time and time again... but you would think they wouldn't anymore considering this is my 3rd tattoo. Actually 4th if you count the one I did myself in high school.
I got 4 dog paw prints and 4 cat prints... and yep, they represent something. The dog prints are for my Maxwell, the german shepard mix that I had to put to sleep a few years back. He was my baby. We went through hell & back together - too long of a story to really post here. I could, but I'm lazy.
The cat prints are for Murray who I posted a picture of the other day .
So here it is... I absolutely LOVE it!
