Ungrateful Kids:

Why the hell do you try to do anything special for them in the first place? Trying to make things for them is super useless.  I learned the true meaning of the saying...."No good deed goes unpunished." From now on, there will be no special anything made for any special occasions in this house. It's called box made or Wal-Mart made. That's how you like it, that's how you are going to get it. Screw it....I'm done.

PMS:
Seriously, whose effing idea was this? I don't care if this is what the religious nuts say is what we get because Eve bit the forbidden fruit. Nothing happened to the world til Adam followed her lead and bit the damned thing too, so where is his pain and suffering? And the first wise ass who decides to say that putting up with us is enough pain and suffering is going to be kicked so far back in time that they can ask their creator that question himself.

Medication side effects:
Some can be good, like the one that helped for one second and made me loose weight....then there are those that will make you have goofy ass dreams all the effing time and make you wonder who the hell you are! Why would any sane person dream these dreams? I mean for real, even Steven King wouldn't touch these things with a ten foot pole!

And dry mouth....all day long I have a 20 ounce drink beside me and I am guzzling like I have been in a desert for 40 days and 40 nights without a drop to drink. Still I can't get enough to drink because there is a cotton boll in my mouth. No, it has nothing to do with diabetes, I am healthy in that aspect for right now.


And sore boobs.....what a ridiculous side effect! Hold on, did I say sore boobs? I meant sore boob...ARGH!

H1N1 fanatics:
I know, I am bound to piss someone off with this, and I just don't care. I know that H1N1 is serious. It's all around us and has hit the family of one of our dear friends. But everyone is freaking out. Spraying everything you come in contact with, using a gallon of hand sanitizer a day, and running to the doctor every single time you cough is not going to help you. Chill out, the stress is not good for your body or your immune system. Take precautions, but don't over react. And what about corporate idiots who get the effing flu shot when BIG nobodies like me can't get close to one!

I could go on.....but I don't think anyone is reading anymore......

You really need to NOT enter this contest....cause if you do then I will end up having more competition....and that will SUCK!.....but if you have to....go ahead. Just think about it. An e-reader....of your choice. I am now stuck on the Nook. I want it and you can't have it.  :)

Tami

As many of you know I have the following pets:

• 2 dogs
• 4 cats
• 1 bird
• 20 fish (or so)

So when BzzAgent sent me an invitation to try the Glade® Sense & Spray™ Automatic Freshener I jumped at the chance. I mean literally jumped at it. I was scared that it was going to fill up too quickly and I wouldn't get a chance to try it. And that would have made me very sad.  :( But I got there in time and BzzAgent sent me a kit...and YEAH!
It's been absolutely wonderful. We placed it right by the front door so when people come in, it will spay a nice blast of fresh scent, and there will not be any "animal" smell. So far some of the comments we have gotten have been:

"Wow, A**** your house smells good. We have two cats and our house smells funny." (Friend of my daughter - 15 years old)

"Tammers did you just get up?"
"No, why?"
"Well I just got this whiff of something fresh, and thought you sprayed something."
"Nope, just my Glade® Sense & Spray™ Automatic Freshener I got from BzzAgent."
         (mother-in-law)

"Oooo, are you burning a candle hun?"
"Nope, just the Glade® Sense & Spray™ Automatic Freshener we got the in the mail today!"
          (my fiance)

So everyone is really enjoying the scent and the way the house smells. It's been great having it here. I've passed out the coupons that I've been given and everyone is so excited.

Well as most of you know...I'm a Glue addict! It's no lie....I've been with them almost since the beginning. I've got the shirt and have been asked many times if I like to sniff Glue since I have a shirt that says but alas, if I could sniff Glue I would! But what Glue has done for me, is better than being able to sniff....check it out!



I have to admit, I like being known as a guru. At Champagne Books I am the Publicity Guru, and with Glue, they let me be a Guru too, but of many other things. I get stickers that show me, and others, how much of a Guru I am! Right now, I am a Guru of only 55 things, I may have to change that. Take a look at what I mean: (Darn Alex....thinks he knows everything! We love you Alex and you know it...)



If you haven't noticed, I'm a huge fan of Twilight, and the whole series. I can't wait for New Moon to come out in theaters and I have read all but the 4th book of the series. See the little boxes that are in my paragraph? Hover over the little boxes! Guess what, you have just experienced some of the joy of Glue even if you don't have Glue installed on your browser. (I told you I love Glue!)

Let's see what Glue has to say a little: I'm so excited.....I want to play with the little blue boxes too.......
