I’ve decided today that I am going to buy a Ouija board, tarot cards and a crystal ball. That way when someone asks me another question I can’t answer I can use one of those things to figure out the answer for them. Maybe they’ll even catch the sarcasm….maybe
Speaking of Ouija boards, a few months ago I went to a reunion and saw one of my best friends from high school. Every Saturday night in school I used to sleep over her house and we’d use a Ouija board and watch SNL. Not at the same time. Well, I ALWAYS moved the thing, and I always said that I didn’t. So at that reunion I finally admitted to her that I always moved the Ouija board thingy. She just laughed at me, but after 19 years, I felt better. Thanks for all the memories “A”!
Tuesday is my birthday. I am turning 35 today. I know I’m a grown up and all, (well kinda) but I really would like a big birthday party and a day all about me. I’d like a birthday tiara to wear all day. Kinda like a Bridezilla, but a Birthdayzilla. Too bad it’ll just be another day at work and stuff at home. At least I got to go shopping with my parents the other day and I got a cake which is very yummy!
My dog of 6 years (who is about 8 years old), has apparently developed Overactive Bladder. Which means he is peeing in the house at night. Not something you want. Especially when you can’t see where he’s pee’d and you step into it with socks on. Just ask Thing 2 who is a big germaphobe! Boy can that kid scream!! I think I should get him some Depends and strap them onto him. Don’t worry, if I do I will be sure to take a picture of him and post it online. Probably a video for YouTube too. I bet he’d walk pretty funny!!
I think my 12 year old son holds the World’s Record for the fastest shower! I don’t know how that kid actually gets clean, he’s in and out of there so fast!!
My kids only need something when I close my eyes, sit down at the computer, pick up the phone or go into the bathroom……wait, who am I kidding…they ALWAYS need something!!!

Happy Birthday Sistah!!!! You would be an awesome Birthdayzilla!
Saturday morning I woke up to find 3 text messages my daughter had sent me around 2 am.
“ewww the cats found a mouse. More like Kimmy found it and is torturing it. What should I do?”
A few minutes later
“now it’s hiding under the dirty clothes pile.”
And then
“I got it out from under the dirty clothes and trapped it under a clear plastic box and put my radio on top of it. Now you won’t find a surprise under the dirty clothes pile.”
When I read the messages to my husband he said “Oh, that’s what I heard last night. I thought I was dreaming about DD yelling at Kimmy.”
It’s a damn good thing it wasn’t an emergency and she needed immediate help. The two of us slept right through it all.
I went downstairs and sure enough there was a huge plastic bin trapping the mouse. Both cats were sitting there staring at it in case it managed to somehow escape. The actual disposal was definitely my husbands job.. 
Especially since it was still alive.
Last night I went to a local paint store that was holding a color event. There were slides and tips and tricks about using color and the whole 60-30-10 rule of decorating. Ya, I was the only person there not up on that particular rule. Guess I’ve been living under a decorating rock or something. Do toys count in one of those percentages? I don’t think so. At the end you had a chance to meet with the lecturer and show her pictures or swatches of your colors and she would help with ideas for paint colors. I went armed with a pillow sham from our new comforter. Of course I ended up behind the lady that had pictures of every room of the new house she was buying and wanted advice on every single room. When it was finally my turn, the decorator loved the colors on the sham. It’s a black background with lots of different floral colors. I told her we wanted to paint the wall the bed was against a different color than the rest. Now we were thinking of a darker shade of the color we would paint the rest of the room. Oh, that’s now called a “Feature Wall” in decorating lingo, in case you were wondering. Her advice? Paint that “Feature Wall” black. I hate black and can’t imagine it in my bedroom. It was a stretch to buy a comforter that had a black background, but that’s as far as I want to go. I told her that and she said “Do you want a boring room or one that stands out?” I want a room I like and a black wall isn’t what I like. I got pitying looks from the paint people at my obvious lack of decorating vision, but at least I get a free gallon of their best paint in the boring color we choose. When I got home everyone was in agreement, there will be no black wall and we’ll just have to live with a boring room.
