Sticker Love

07 Dec

Oh, this post at “Stuff White People Like” was too “me” not to share. It’s okay, I’ll own it. Go friend me on Facebook. I’ll send you flair. Then you will see… ;)

It is a fact that white people will never turn down an opportunity to enlighten other people on the correct way to think. While this is very easy to do through email or face to face conversation, it is exceptionally difficult to do while driving a car. Fortunately for white people there is a solution that is both popular and ineffective: bumper stickers.

Chapin used to rip the bumper stickers off of my car when I wasn’t looking, like in the middle of the night on his way in from work. He thought I didn’t know it was him. Harumph. :mad: I adore bumper stickers and I cannot tell you how many people stop me in parking lots to chat over ones I have had. Right now my stickers are fairly boring but I’m working on that. And, hey, I’ve moved on to t-shirts. :lol:

Sunday Stealing: Battle of the Memes

07 Dec

Sunday Stealing: The Battle of the Memes

1. When you buy a greeting card, are the words or the picture more important to you? – Depends on my mood. I love funny picture cards and I enjoy writing my own insides. But I also love cards that say what I want to say in a beautiful and eloquent way.

2. Do you ever make gifts for people, if so what, or do you buy them? Not usually, unless it’s a photo gift. I typically buy.

3. Are you going on holiday this year? If so, where? No plans and I need to change the name on my passport so I’m probably not leaving the country anytime soon.

4. What was the best party you’ve ever been to? My 16th birthday party. It was a surprise. My friend, Rick, surprised me with a huge bouquet of roses (my first flowers ever) and so many people showed up to just kick back and spend a few hours sitting around talking, eating pizza and listening to music. It really made me happy and was the last real birthday party I had.

5. If you are married, describe your wedding. If not, what would your ideal wedding be like? I was married and we went down to the courthouse, had a five-minute bilingual ceremony and then went out for Mexican. I think if I did it again, I would still do it small but I would probably dress up a bit more (we were broke) and maybe go do it somewhere peaceful and quiet with handwritten vows. I think a wedding should be about the two people and the commitment, not about the huge production, so I don’t really need a big deal. I do want a religious ceremony if I do it again someday, even if it has to be a blessing of the union after a civil ceremony.

6. What’s the most romantic thing that’s ever been said to you? Um… Yeah, I don’t know that I’ve heard it yet. Thinking… Thinking… I’ve heard canned lines and compliments but I’ve never really dated a “romantic” guy.

7. What’s your favorite romantic song?
Cheek To Cheek by Fred Astaire or
The Way You Look Tonight by Michael Buble or
You Leave Me Weak by Toby Keith or
Drift Off to Dream by Travis Tritt. Don’t get me started. I’m a big sap. Love to dance, love romance, so anything that combines the two is good. (But I’m convinced women wrote all of those songs :lol: )

8. Favorite heartbreak song? For My Broken Heart
or If I Had Only Known by Reba McEntire (actually that whole damn album makes me sob every single time I hear it!)

9. Which celebrity would you like a dream date with? Toby Keith (I just want him to sing to me for an hour. Have a real thing for his voice. Hubba hubba.)

10. Which female celebrity do you find beautiful?? Diane Lane

11. Which male celebrity do you think is attractive? Brendan Fraser – Yum!

12. Describe the kind of underwear you normally wear. Satin briefs.

13. If you could be in a television sitcom, which would you choose? Ugly Betty

14. Which character would you like to be? Christina

15. What are your favorite boy and girl names? I don’t have a favorite boy name. I do like Charlotte, Naomi and Noelia as girl’s names.

16. What’s your supermarket of choice? HEB

17. What is your best character trait? Affectionate

18. What is your worst habit? Codependent

19. Elaborate on your default icon. I have no idea what this means

20. What is your current relationship status? Dating

21. Ever have a near death experience? I have been seriously ill several times but not a “near-death” experience in the sense of remembering almost dying

22. Name an obvious quality about you? Opinionated

23. What’s the name of a song stuck in your head right now?Easy
” by Kelly Willis

24. Name a celebrity you would marry. I have no idea. How can I possibly know that without knowing the person?

25. Do you like pain? No. Unlike my ex-husband and my son, each of whom have very high pain tolerances, I am a wimp.

 
 

So? Thumbs up? Thumbs Down?

07 Dec

So what do you think of the new blog design? Cute? Sucky? Easy to navigate? Hard to navigate? I had to play some with the font sizes because, blind girl that I am, I couldn’t read the damn blog. But I think it’s legible now. I even have a Cast of Characters page, complete with pics. Let me know what you think.

Okay, off to shove Miss Shirley off my outline and get back to work. Chapin is on his way to pick up Pumpkinhead to go see Bolt and eat lunch (and change the oil in my car since I am paying for the movies and lunch – argh :roll: ). Hopefully he will keep him for several hours because the boy is like a little Tigger this morning. Literally. Boing, boing, boing since 5 a.m. And since I went to bed around 2:30 a.m., you can imagine how well that is going over.

 

Rescue Cat

07 Dec

Shirley the Cute Cat (Pumpkinhead’s kitten, now HUGE cat, I got him back in May) has been keeping me company all day and finally decided to pitch in a bit.
