Fawk You Friday

Today I am linking up with My Mad Mind Blog at  http://www.mymadmind.com/2011/07/fawk-you-friday_28.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter for Fawk You Friday!

• Fawk You - Yummy danishes that sit in the fridge and tempt me every time I go to the kitchen. I will show you, just wait until you are gone! I will WIN!
• Fawk You - Judgemental people who think because I don't think about or see things the way that you do, that I am automatically wrong. You get a double FAWK YOU!
• Fawk You -  California weather. I hate you. I know mother nature personally, we are thistight and I will be talking to her about you. Stop.Being.So.Hot
• Fawk You - Google Analytics. You say you are installed correctly but claim I have had one visitor in 30 days. Get off whatever drugs you are on and get it right. Damnit! How else will I know how awesome I truly am. (like I don't know already, pfft) I don't need your stats anyways.
• Fawk You - Klout...for saying you feel I am influential in boats. Really, boats? I would like to know exactly what you are on as well. And I would LOVE for you to show me how you came up with this little tidbit of information since I am positive I have NEVER posted crap about a boat. Get.it.right!

Anyone wanna throw a few Fawk Yous to anyone or anything? Feel free!

Mr. Husband and His Butt

I am laying in bed on Thursday night, and I have out my trusty notebook, writing down ideas for future blogs. Mr. Husband joins me, and starts his usual nightly goofiness. And this was how the conversation went down...

Thankful Thursdays

I didn't make it to #commenthour on Twitter last night, I was out with friends seeing Kansas play a concert in the park. All of a sudden, my phone lights up and I was being congratulated for being featured as the first blog of the night, and I spent the next 45 minutes with my phone vibrating constantly. Twitter just kept sending me messages over and over. LoL. I got back and was just so tired, I couldn't bring myself to read the other 24 blogs at that time. I got woke up early today and managed to get it all done already, so goooo me lol. Today is Thankful Thursdays so I guess I could get on with it...

Hey everyone. Woke up with a horrible migraine this morning, and am sitting here trying to decide what to do because looking at this screen (even with my glasses on) is causing the pain to overtake my entire head. I slept an entire hour the night before and was up from 4:30 am until after 1 last night, and luckily my body let me sleep last night. I got about ten hours and now I am paying it for it ugh. Don't ya hate days like this? So I have a few things I am totally loving right now and I spent a lot of time checking them out, so I thought I'd share them with you so you could as well.

Humorous Weight Loss Tips for Moms

I am not up to par today so I am bringing back an older post. Hope you guys and gals have a Happy Hump Day.

Pet Peeve Mondays

Hey everybody? How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good, lots of blogging and relaxing time, and I had a date Saturday night with one of my besties, we went and saw a friends band play. It's always a nice way to spend a night.

A Serene Sunday

Drawing - I love to draw. Mostly cartoons, and my comic strip when I actually have the gusto to sit down and work on it. I am self taught and have been doing it since I was 12.

Painting - Although I haven't done it in awhile, I love to paint. Before I moved to Cali, the bedroom of my apartment was covered in my drawings and paintings, and I couldn't get enough of it. Give me a blank canvas and my imagination and I can get lost for hours.

Writing - Writing is my biggest relaxation although I haven't done it anywhere but online in a long time. I have  short stories, erotica, poetry, and a book I have been working on for a few years now off and on are all sitting in neatly organized folders in my documents folder. I really should post some of those.

Fishing - It's the tomboy in me. There is no better way to waste the day than sitting by a lake with a cold drink and a fishing pole.

What are some of your favorite ways to unwind and relax?

Things I Never Plan to Do

We all have our things we want to do, you know, our bucket lists. Things we want to cross off our lists before we die. Whether it's visiting Scotland, collecting a thousand books for my personal library, or wanting to have Gerard Butler kiss me and getting a picture to prove it, we all have our lists tucked away. On the other side of the spectrum, do you have a list of things you never (extra emphasis on this word, it's extra important because it's in italics AND bold) want to do? Oh yes, I do!

I'm switching things up today. Today has been one of those weird days where you have to pinch yourself to make sure you are actually awake. I didn't wake up until after 11, I had been so exhausted and was finally able to fall asleep about 4, stupid aches and pains. Mr. Husband, who is normally a early riser, woke up at the same time, shocked me that he was actually just waking up. Anyways...as I am sitting here thinking what to write, I am looking at my desk and thinking I need to declutter and then I realize just how many weird things I actually have on it. Things that make you go hmmm?

Thankful Thurdays

Wow, Thursday already. The time has once again just blown by this week. It works for me though, I have a date this Saturday with the ass-kicking Deb to see Itchy Huevos perform. (haha I love that band name) Had a blast with #commenthour last night as well. MJ, from http://agirlnamedmichael-mj.blogspot.com/, and I have coined the term "Blitter" for those who blog/twitter stalk people and decided that "twogging" sounds like something you could be arrested for. Come on people, throw the term around, make it well known, get it out there! And Brittany, from 

Sex Ed, A Personal Post

I am doing a extra post today, linking up with MamaKat at http://www.mamakatslosinit.com/2011/07/the-simple-things-2/ for her writer's workshop. It's something that I have been checking out for awhile now and I figured today is a good day to start, so I am just jumping in with both feet and putting it out there, for the first time, ever.

Things I Fail At...

Happy Hump Day people! We all have things in life that we excel at. For me, it's little things, like drawing or walking down the stairs without falling (this one took some time to master). But what about those things that we aren't so good at, things that make us wonder if we aren't having a "duh" moment whenever we do them. Well in all honesty, I feel like I have more "duh" moments with each passing day. Let's have a look at the things I fail at....

My Favorite Ways To Procrastinate

(Procrastinate - To delay or postpone action; put off doing something) This is me today. Yep, been doing it all morning, for 3 hours now to be exact, simply because I can. I open up my blogger this morning, and stare at the blank page that is just waiting for me to fill it up and all I come up with is nothing. I didn't sleep well last night. I hate those nights when I toss and turn, praying for my body to stop fighting the sleep it needs. The more I try to sleep, the harder it becomes. Once I actually fell asleep, I wake up four hours later, exhausted and moody, and I figure I can get a jump on my blogs for the week. Eh, that was three hours ago and here I am, rambling in italics...procrastinating. (what a fun word) 

Pet Peeve Mondays

I took off the weekend from blogging. I needed to step back a little and get some stuff done around the home. It was Mr. Husbands birthday, and it was non-stop running around so I still didn't get done what I would have liked to. But he loved his birthday stuff and his night out at the casino for a buffet and gambling. Him being happy equals me being happy, so all is good. Todays pet peeve list comes easily as they happened yesterday while I was out shopping...

A Few of my Favorite Things Friday

Ahhh it's Friday again already. Where did the week go? I really don't have that much of a life for the week to fly by like it has. I sit at home reading blogs, writing blogs, do any chores that need done, and hang out with Mr. Husband. You would figure time would crawl, but nope. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me? (you can be honest, I won't tell) Moving on..

Thankful Thurdays

I am so running behind today, I didn't want to get out of bed. Went to a free concert in the park last night with friends to see The Bangles. By the time I got home, I was coming down off a massive sugar high of eating an entire cotton candy by myself. I just wanted to sleep but I had shows to watch first haha. So today's post will be about friends and how thankful I am to have some. (because seriously, the ones in our heads don't really count as friends do they?) Anyways, we had a blast at the concert even though the band only played an hour. I guess that's what you get when you go to a "free" concert. Luckily we got there a couple of hours early and entertained ourselves.

Yes, we were Walking Like an Egyptian, Mr. Husband couldn't go because of his cast so he simply requested a photo of us doing it. The Bangles only played 3 songs we knew, and the rest were songs from their upcoming album in September. It really wasn't that great of a concert, other than the fun we had goofing off. But it was a great night and I am thankful for nights like that, when I can just get out, goof off, and make people laugh. And laugh we did. 

Addictive Personality and Me

Brittany, over at  http://www.ramblingsofadiva.com, wrote about her addictive habits in 2 posts, one for the funny side, and one for the more serious side of them. At the end, she challenged everyone to list their addictions, whether funny, cute, or serious. So for today's blog, I will take her challenge.

My Humorous Life (Photos Included)

There's not much going on in this housewife's life today. Mr. Husband went to the doctor Friday and ended up with his foot back in a cast. (In 2010, he was injured at work and has been having problems since the surgery on his Achilles Tendon). The doctor has put him back in a cast to keep his foot from moving because he has lost the ability to bend his foot back again. (After a year of physical therapy, on and off) So now, I present you with the "famous casts" from 2010 to 2011.

So I'd Like to Thank the Academy and All My Fans

So, I am sitting here reading posts on Twitter (don't judge me, I was bored) and MJ over at    http://agirlnamedmichael-mj.blogspot.com/?spref=tw nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. YAY! My first award! I love MJ's blog, I can relate to a lot of the things that she talks about, to get this award from her is an honor. Thank you so much MJ, for not only the award, but for reading this craziness which is me.

Pet Peeve Mondays

It's that time again. Pet Peeve Monday, yay! I could obviously gripe and moan about the whole Casey Anthony Trial, but that would just be too easy. So many people have already made their opinions known, and mine is more than likely no different from anyone else's.

Looking for a New Challenge, Looking for Me

We all have off days, I seem to be having a off month. I'm not sure what has happened, but I have just felt very disconnected. It's that feeling of needing to do something more than what I am doing right now presently in my life. I honestly think it has to do with both my physical and spiritual side. Or it could be the fact that I am turning 40 in December. Whatever it is, I do not feel at peace.
I've been thinking about it, and maybe a few 30 day challenges might help me get back on track. I did some searching and came across a couple of good ideas...let me know what you think.


30 Day...

• Meditation Challenge- 15 minutes a day minimum
• Art Journaling Challenge(I've seen this one on a lot)
• Picture Journaling Challenge
• Yoga Challenge
• Early Rise Challenge
• Thankfulness Challenge

I came across 15 books in 30 days Challenge, 10000 Steps a Day Challenge, and a 365 Day De-cluttering Challenge.

Things I Know are Good for Me but I Dont Do

We all have things we do to keep ourselves healthy, right? I should not have started that last line with "we" because it implies that I am part of that group, which is not true. I am a complete bum when it comes to staying healthy. It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that my body is on strike. It hates anything good for it, despises exercise, and laughs at me when I try to enforce discipline of any kind on it. 

A Few of My Favorite Things Friday

I haven't exactly figured out what I am going to do with Fridays yet. But again, for now, I will stick this. Although there are a few things that could be done with a big fuck you friday post. (Can you believe she wasn't found guilty? Seriously?) With that being off my chest, a few more of my favorite things...

Aunt Flow (A Letter)

Dearest Aunt Flow,

   I think it's about time we have a little chat. See this body? (points at self) This is my body. MY body. It has been 30 years, this year, that you entered my life. For all these years, I have sat back and done nothing while you did whatever you wanted with this body. If you were late, fine, I dealt with it. Same if you were early. I have put up with your aches, cramps, chills, bloating, hot flashes, and mood swings. I even kept my mouth shut when you made my boobs hurt these last few years and when you decided every month that my uterus would feel like someone was using it for a inflatable bounce house. Well, all I have is this...

  Could you please just go away? Do me a HUGE favor and get hit by a bus? Fall off the face of the earth and die? Do something other than harass me every three weeks? I'm tired of just bending over and taking it up the yoohoo. I've been silent all these years. Haven't I paid enough? It's hot, i'm cranky and would rather be swimming than sitting here with you tangling up my insides like you own me. And by the way, I'm going to be 40 this year, how many good years of sex do you think I have left in me before I can't do it anymore? (is this reaching?)

  Anyways, if you could kindly just stop now, I wouldn't complain one bit. Although I'm sure I would miss you, I can guarantee it wouldn't be anytime soon.

                                                                                       

                                                                                                  Not so Happy,

                                                                                                       Heather

PS - Did I mention...I hate you? Just sayin!

Thankful Thursday

Seeing that I do a Pet Peeve Monday, I thought I would do a blog for not only the things that piss me off but also for things that I am thankful for. I need that balance or I feel off the rest of the week. So I'm happy to announce Thankful Thursdays.

A Woman's Guide to Surviving Football Season

The leaves are starting to fall, the weather is getting colder, the stores have taken out all the stuff for summer and have started throwing out items for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and we know what that means, right ladies? That’s right, FOOTBALL!


Now, while there are a slim majority of women out there who like or at least understand the fundamentals of the game (I am one of those who understand the basics but just am not a fan), there are other women who know absolutely nothing about football or the etiquette that comes with it. If you value your relationship with your man, there are a few rules that everyone woman should know. On the other hand, if you want to test to see how strong your relationship is, by all means, wait until the game is tied with seconds left, your guys team has the ball and are about to go for a field goal, and come in, take the remote, turn the television off, and ask to talk about your feelings or ask for snuggle time. Now, I am no expert on relationships, but I can guarantee you, it won’t last past that moment unless the remote is handed back immediately and you make yourself disappear…so without further ado, I present…

Things I Like That Are Not Age Appropriate

We all have things we enjoy doing in our spare time. And for the most part, most of mine are age appropriate..for the most part...

A Few of My Favorite Things Friday

I really wanted to participate in the whole Fuck You Friday thing going around on all the ladies blogs that I read, but then all of a sudden, I can't find a one of them for the icon to do it with..grrr, I have alot of fuck you's to put out there damnit!
So until then, I'll do it this way and see what becomes of it. 

Because My Head is Overflowing

My mind isn't getting any rest. I get this creative surge in me and I can't stop doing whatever it is I am into at the time until I feel satiated. Because of this, I spent the last two days coming up with almost 2 months worth of blogging ideas. Now that I have these ideas, I want to implement them as soon as I can. It is literally driving me nuts, can we say O.C.D? The positive thing is, at least I'll have two months worth of blogs ready to post everyday. The bad thing is, there are days like today where I may do a couple of posts just to get that feeling of accomplishment I need. I apologize in advance. You've been warned...

Things That I Do That Annoy Mr. Husband

For the follow-up post, I figured it'd only be fair that I do one on the things I do to annoy Mr. Husband. And I'm sure that even with the ones I post now, he will add to this list in his own smart-ass way.
