Blogs Hunting Volcanos While Dealing With Angry Celebs Eating Pickles And Much More!

Wow I suck. I haven't blogged for a week. A whole fricken week. Nevermind the fact that there really wasn't anything to blog about, but is there ever really?

Although, I just read that they found a fossil of a snake that was big enough to eat a cow and probably ate crocs for snacks. Thats a big damn snake! Could you imagine that mofo coming after you in a field? I'd crap my pants.

So it's Thursday... ok, I lied. It's Wednesday. Night. But I'm posting this for tomorrow, but I'm publishing it today. None of that made any sense, did it? Well it'd be awful silly for me not to do the meme I do with Kimber. I got out of doing it this week, because it was Kimber's turn. So if you play and you think the questions suck, don't blame me - I didn't do it.

Onto the good stuf.

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the color Red and the number 82.

1. What is one of your favorite blogs to read? Why is it your favorite?

• Kimber & Melissa's. Because they are my best friends and sometimes thats the only way I know how things are going on thier lives. And as I was getting the link to Melissa's blog I just realized she had a baby a month ago! Holy shit! What a way to find out about my best friend's baby!!!! How rude!
  

2. Have you ever been hunting?

• Yeah, you got a problem with that? I hunted squirrels and deer. Never shot a thing though.
  

3. Do you live near any active volcanos?

• Not that I'm aware of.
  

4. If VH1 came out with a new reality show called Celebrity Anger Management, who would you most like to see on the show?

• Depends. Who's on it?
  

5. Would you drink horse's milk if offered?

• My initial thought is FRICKEN GROSS ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? But then again, if I never had cows milk I'd probably feel the same way.
  

6. Do you buy pickles? If so, what do you do with the juice after all the pickles are gone?

• Drink it. Doesn't everyone?
  

7. Do you have a myspace or Facebook account?

• Both, but I only use Facebook. Religiously. Addiction-type behavior.
  

8. Facial hair on men, yea or nay?

• Have you met my husband? What do you think?
  

9. Do you know anyone personally who is stockpiling stuff for WWIII or a date they think will be the end of the world (i.e. 12/2012)?

• No. Are there people out there who are?
  

10. Have you downloaded Skype and use it?

• Yes and yes. Would you like to add me?? Today I found out my webcam can make me look like I'm an alien.
  

11. Have you ever been stuck by cacti?

• Yes.
  

12. Do you still have packed boxes from your last move you have yet to unpack? If so, how long have they been there?

• Nope... that was 10 years ago. If there is some, they should be thrown out without looking at the contents because obviously I haven't needed any of it.
  

13. Ever have a toxic friend you had to break ties with to save your sanity?

• Two of them, different times in my life. I breathe much easier without the toxins in my body.
  

FYI: Yes... I knew Missy had her baby! I was there the day after!!!!!!!

Thawing out

We are finally thawing out. Yesterday morning we broke a record in our area with -33 degrees. Thats a big fat F behind that, not a C. It's been a cold week, let me tell you! When it's 1- or 20 degrees you can easily run outside for something without a coat on, but not when it's -30. You have to bundle up just to open the front door.
Not to mention my poor furnace couldn't keep up. Thats what I get with having a boiler and hot water heat. There is no instant heat, and no circulating of the air when we are all sleeping. Hopefully now the poor thing can catch a break... woke up to 15 degrees this morning and after this last week - that's a heat wave!
I am so sick of our roads being covered with ice & snow, too. We haven't been over freezing in weeks, so the roads just stay as they are. When it's this cold the salt & chemicals that they put down doesn't do any good. Once it hits 20-30 degrees they will and then... well then I'll be bitching about the slushy sloppy mess that's out there.

Yesterday Kimber & I were both having a blast on the forums. Most of the time it seemed like we were just talking to ourselves, but man it was fun! But I think I realized that Kimber has a crush on me during the process. Hmmm I'll have to start watching what I say to her from now on, I don't want her to get the wrong idea or anything.
Call this another shameless plug or just a bit of whining, but I'm really frustrated with the forums right now. No matter how much Kimber & I post it seems that nobody replies. We have a good, small group of people who log in multiple times a day, you would think we would have something to read whenever we log in... but it seems like it's only if her & I post. We need new blood. I absolutely love that CruelPaul joined up a few weeks ago... he's a snowmobiling buddy of the husband's... he's a hoot. He's so fun. But that reminds me that he didn't receive a very warm welcome from our members at all... in fact I've noticed that quite a few of them have not even acknowledged the fact that he's even there. A simple "hi" or "welcome" in his introduction thread would have been nice. But at least Nicho is liking having him there... I haven't seen Nicho post this much for years.
Like I said, we need new blood. New blood to go in and shake things up a bit. Different opinions, different views, different personalities.

Another whine of mine is I still can't shake this damn cold I've had for over a week. Thats really why my blogging has gone to almost nothing. I'm sick of this stuffed head and plugged up ears. Plugged ears have to be the worst. Drives me insane. Maybe thats why I can't understand how someone can walk around with a Q-Tip in their ear and forget its there. How can anyone stand something in their ears? I don't get it.

(sorry, if you would read the forums, you would get that! )

It's amazing to me that in a house of 4 people, only one person can get knocked out by this bug. I mean seriously, why do I get stuck with this sickness for days and days and everyone else is fine? It's not fair. It's just not fair!!! I didn't hurt nobody, what did I do to deserve this?
I even tried putting Vicks on the bottom of my feet one night and it didn't do a damn thing. My bestest friend swears by it, but I don't know why.

So I'm going to go back to drinking my coffee and reading blogs/news/whatever else and see what today will bring for me.

I'm out of laundry soap, so I know I have to go buy some of that. And milk. Damn these people drink a lot of milk. I need to buy my own cow.

it's a little chilly out there....
