my ego

i love my blog
so really i do

maybe it's ego
or a slight feeling of being misunderstood

there is something i love about letting others into my world
getting to know me (quirks and ugliness)

judging if they must from a far and comfortable distance

my day to day what "i think" is funny
out into the universe

oh, and I do NOT think I am a good writer by any means

and don't even try to judge me on grammar

I am doomed

holidaze

With the holiday fast approaching I am holidaze.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I LOVE the holidays with 110 percent of my heart...however I am already dazed. Dazed, with the amount of work I put into this insane LOVE for Christmas. I want to get the MOST perfect gifts and make the the people I love so happy inside! I haul the kids from store to store, from Santa to portraits, to parades and carriage rides. I decorated the house the day after Thanksgiving, on nine hours of sleep for the week. Really, with midnight shift and shopping that was one tough week. Oh no, I still have to get my Christmas cards in the mail. I am officially one week into December and I am OVERWHELMED with the amount of goodness I MUST create. I put these super HIGH expectations on myself to make everything perfect (thanks Mom) and I kill myself living up to them. With that being said...I LOVE IT. I thrive off the stresses of Christmas, the bad parking, pushing in stores, the rude clerks, the last minute shoppers, the unbelievable deals, freezing SNOW, and all my last minute sewing projects.

Wouldn't trade this HOLIDAZE in for the world.

Seventh Annual Black Friday Shopping

It's a Mother-Daughter tradition...this year we had two extra shoppers

Vince and Jessica

Normally we sleep first...this year we did NOT sleep at all

We started at 1am at Toys R Us

Vince couldn't take the crowd nor the HEAT

TIP**Seasonal cashiers...Do NOT care about their jobs and will give you whatever price you think it "should" be

WALMART is INSANE with sale items/aisles wrapped up in brown paper

you could not put ANYTHING in your cart until 5am and had to keep moving -no loitering in front of items...it was musical carts without music or fun

Target a decent zoo with average sales

Leo's Coney wraps it up...HOME 8am

Items bought

Hot pink karaoke machine -Cars tent -Lil Handy Tool Bench -Littlest Pet Shop -Hungry Hungry Hippo -Easy Bake Oven -3 sets of PJ -2 Hannah Montana shirts -Shoes for my brother -2 Sweatshirts -Barbie 3 musketeer -Hula Hoop

Oklahoma

One of my very best "teen" memories

My Mom and I went to Ann Arbor on a school field trip

we chatted like girls on the bus ride

my Mom is young, cool and everyone was jealous

she bought me a eyeball ring, it was the first time I'd ever seen one

So, this time around I took my Mom

nothing fancy a local production

amazing voices and talent

never disappointed in Oklahoma

however...my Mom keeps asking for an eyeball ring

you are ONLY three?

My

you are ONLY three years old

Why must you LOVE Hannah Montana

you haven't even seen the show

don't understand the whole double life premise

WHY?

My -because she has her own

cereal

guitar

and barbie doll

ENOUGH SAID MOM

tree saving

We tried to save three

neighborhood trees

Rallied the neighbors

all called the city

Fought the power

crushed the man

Instead I was lured

into the worst of two evils

No trees and more yard

further sidewalks

Or a lot less yard

and still no trees

because they

damaged their root system

on purpose

we lost...the battle

pumpkin pickin

oh, Al...wouldn't pose

corn maze...a hit

Penis Pie

This was my very first attempt at homemade crust
Decided it would be cute to use

to mark the end of the
Tigers amazing season
