Things I like about cleaning
Vacuum lines in the carpet
Getting rich (I found $1.23 in change)
Listening to my zune
Having all the dishes available when it is time to cook
The feeling of peace
Things I DO NOT like about cleaning
People stepping on my vacuum lines
Cleaning out a clogged vacuum
Not getting to watch tv like I really want to
Knowing other people will come in and trash the place
Being the only one cleaning
Jasmine is so stinkin cute! I hung out with her on Tuesday while her sister got her two front teeth pulled. Well, Jasmine has never used a real computer, so this was her first time on to use a mouse. I taught her "webistes" and she caught on fast.
(this is one out of a few posts I am doing tonight....)
Okay, so after my post last night...I guess I was thinking about biggest loser so much, that I had a dream about it.
The Dream....
Instead of being choosen for the black or blue team, I was a team all unto myself, with no trainer...and i was crying. I wanted Bob to pick me in the dream.....and he and Jillian both decided that they were not going to pick me, and instead of having a biggest loser tee shirt like everyone else, mine was a plain white one...the dream ended with me crying. I woke up mad because no one picked me.
ha ha.
Now I have watched all five seasons, and I have come to the conclusion that these two people scare the holy CRAP out of me.....
So.....
Today is Saturday.
I am babysitting now..
Well, he is not a baby and he is sleeping, leaving me with nothing to do...
I want to watch a movie, but her dvd player is broken....
I want to blog troll, but I don't know who all I troll, and the RSS feed subscription is on my computer at home....
Here are a few questions I had in mind....let me know what you think.
Is there a real need for babysitters in the morning and afternoon times. (I want to hold 8-5 hours, and not work daycare)?
Does it sound cheesey to pass out business cards to people at church, lol....is that bad taste? I am thinking yes......bad.
What kinds of things have you sold on ebay (If anything) and what do you do if something doesn't sell?
Okay....well, that is all I have right now....It is almost 1am, I want to be home asleep.....I must stay awake!!!
Thngs I loved about today:
Frozen Pizza makes for an easy dinner
Emails that don't inculde spam
Today is Friday, means tomorrow is Saturday
Three of the five things I have on ebay are selling
Small chit chat that doesn't include me barking orders....with Aaron
Frozen Coke Slush right out of the freezer...be careful it expands quick!
Expanding Coke Slush mess and me laughing
Taiko trying to eat peanut butter......he loves it
Me accidently scarring Taiko and him shoving his face in his water bowl....
Dreaming about 72 degree weather
Comments on my blog about the travel swap....I GET TO DO IT!! YAY!
Blog Reading......LOVE IT!
Thats about it for the day......not too bad.
Okay.....so another day.....
A few things on my mind....so here goes.
Heath Ledger died.....from who knows what......they say drugs, they say accident....whatever it was, he was a year older than me...scarry.
I fell in love with his exotic accent and bad boy persona in "10 Things I Hate About You". Not an oscar worthy movie, but fun for the age I was....ok ok I will admit, I still like it!
Sad.
Feeling a bit weird about housework right now. I worked really hard yesterday, felt like I created a peaceful inviting home yesterday. When Jason got home, dinner was finished, smelly good candles were setting a peaceful ambiance, I made a pineapple upside down cake, Aaron mastered some multiplication facts because we worked on it, downstairs bathroom was cleaned, floors were vacuumed........but.......none of it was noticed. I understand that my daily doings will not be praised cosntantly....ok, so I guess my question would be.....How does a professional stay at hom mom (in my case non mom non wife) keep her drive up and spirits up to be miticulously on top of it all???
I have expressed this before (it might be in my blog on myspace) but...I have the OCD personality that I get anal about something, but I give up on it if I know I am not going to be as perfect as I want to be......I want to be OCD despite not meeting my goal. I want to be organized and scheduled to a fault....does that make me bad? lol, WHO ON EARTH WISHES THEY WERE OCD??? That right there should make me the craziest person I know.
I tried to be a part of a swap, but the lady never returned my emails....I guess she wasn't hip to the idea of having a blog troll being a part of her swap.....it was a travel swap, and I have some really cool things from Iran, I was going to share....too bad for them!
I want to have an online group of blogging friends...will you comment on my blogs and be my friend?
I want to blog
Feeling a bit weird
Lots of thoughts
Not enough energy
Want the contacts out
Feeling weird,
think that was already mentioned
but needed to share it again.
Blog to come tomorrow.
My first attempt to be an entrepreneur via ebay, has just FAILED. No one wanted my junk :-( I will try again, I will find my millions on ebay!!!!
I will write more in a few minutes.....must......sell.....something......on......ebay!!!
Takio is our dog.
He thinks he is the boss. Here lately, since Julie and her crew has left, he has been the boss dog...so my squishy tummy is his thrown, forget about dog beds and cushions....
Aaron took this picture for me.....this is how Takio sits, and if he isn't there he is snuggled against the backs of my legs....go figure.
Okay, well I admited to myself and all the world that I am a blog troll......well with that said, is it weird to make yourself known to the strangers that you are trolling?
I ask because.....well I emailed someone, this person I found from a friend of a friend of a friend's blog....honestly, I have no clue how I got there, but I did. She is having a "swap" and I think I want to be a part of it.....I emailed her, telling her that I wanted to do it, and that I was a complete stranger, which in the post about the swap, it sounded like strangers are ok to contact her. But now that I have emailed her, I am not sure if it was the right thing to do.....what do you think?
Next Question.....is it weird that I don't fully understand what a "swap" is?? Will you enlighten me? While I wait for you to let me know, I will google it too, do my homework!!!
If you are a troller on my blog, let me know....I am glad I have readers!!! You don't have to add me as a friend or whatever it is called on here, but an occassional hello would be nice!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW......I don't know all the lyrics to most songs, but I sure act like I do!!! And if this show was the kind of show that gave the money to people who act like they know the words, then I would be the millionaire!!!! This song inspires me to karaoke more often! I have done it a few times, but now I want to be a professional.
Okay so I have a new obsession.....
Thats right, I am a blog troll......I have learned how to subscribe to blogs, and now, I have over 30 blogs that I view daily. I know how to refresh them, just in case the computer hasn't grabbed the new post.
I am creepy.
I am a stalker. (without the stalkerish tendencies)
I enjoy reading about the lives of women who I think are creative, funny and the kinds of people I want to be like. Be flattered if you are on my list, because I think the world of you. A world that is different obviously since we have more than likely never met.......but I think you are someone to admire, and I love to read about your creations, about your fun kids, about your do's and don'ts etc etc.
Thank you for sharing your lives with the world of blog trolls, you upper middle class church going entrepreneur stay at home moms.......all 30 of you!
P.S. That Troll is ANOTHER Photoshop creation......My New Years goal is almost met, lol
And so, my first attempt with photoshop.......I decided to document Veida's birthday lunch....we laughed and laughed and laughed at this....it is a true story!!!! And check out her eyelash and eyebrow.......too funny!
With all the political things going on right now, it reminds me of a little boy named Carson.
Carson was 3 when I worked at the Children's Courtyard. He was an overachiever, dramatic, know it all. I blame his parents. His father was a lawyer, and mom a over pampered stay at home mom. Carson was at the time an inspiring actor, he had starred in a few Barney episodes and made sure that every kid knew that he had met Barney, and much like Santa, he spoiled the truth that Barney had a person inside and isn't really a dinosaur. His parents put Carson in day care for most of the day so the mom could spend time with friends and spa treatments......but that isn't the point.
Well one day Carson came up to me and the following conversation happened:
Carson: Miss Layla, I know what Democraps and Repelicans are.
Me: Oh really, what are they?
Carson: Democraps are people who like to take your money. And Repelicans like to eat it.
Me: (laughing) who told you this?
Carson: (angry at me laughing) My dad told my mom, and I was giving attention to his story.
That was the funniest thing ever told to me regarding politics!
My Current hair style, long and shapeless, I wear it in a bun or ponytail most of the time, because I get frustrated at it.....help! It currently has curl to it because of the life it lives in a bun...if I wear it down, it gets tangled because of the need of a hair cut....
This is similar to what I have now, a few very long layers, although my length is longer....
Medium Layers, keep the length, with bangs....
Long Bangs (to chin almost) Long Layers
4.the mental state or quality of being resolved or resolute; firmness of purpose.
Thats my choice in the definition of resolution.
Firmness of purpose.
This year my purpose in life is to be more honest with myself. Sure I have many goals....(and they are posted to the right of this blog, for the world to see....) but I can't swear to myself that every last one of them will be fulfilled, that will be against my purpose.......and thus, I will be less firm in standing with the resolution.....
