Supahstar Saturday



Yes, I know it's not Saturday anymore, but go check out the site and you'll see why it's so named. Not only is that the coolest damn graphic, but they have chosen a good friend of mine to be the first to be blogged about! OH and to top it off she made the really cool graphic.

Retta and I have known each other for years through a message boards, but have only really been harrassing each other for the past year. lol We are on total opposite sides of the country, but yet she's still always online when I am, late at night. Can you say ADDICT? Geesh,she's worse than I am.

It's awesome to have her there to bounce ideas off of all times of the day and night. Nothing better than having the person that you know you can trust to tell you the truth if you are being a dork. :)

So go check out the Thoughts Out of my Head and see why she and I get along so well. She's an avid cross stitcher (wish I still had time for that) and has her own site dedicated to the cross stitcher! Including free patterns.

The Doll Palace


A friend turned me onto this site and my daughter and I have loved playing there ever since. I know my daughter can spend hours on it making new dolls and sending them to her friends. lol It's awesome to know that she's safe making the dolls with no bad things to click on.

Now there are even games that can be played on it. So even more time wasted online. lmao But they are so darn cute and easy to make!

I mainly add them as avatars on message boards and forums. It's fun to create new one's for the holiday or season. Plus it doesn't take long so I can change them quickly.


This one is one of my favorites since I am the Queen of all I oversee. How cool would it be to have a big red velvet robe? Ok, maybe that is why I like to play DressUp Games. I can pretend they are may clothes.

If you haven't visited forums before you can hang out on the doll palace Message boards and post what you have created. Don't forget to use the special codes for your myspace and IM's. I use myspace for many of my just for fun items. Such as the dolls. lol I can change my theme to match my doll of the moment. ;)

IT'S MY BDAY!!!

K, I'm not afraid to toot my own horn. It's my mother fucking birthday!!! yeah mon!

We are watching tacky 80's movies. I'm chatting online with a good friend and the dog is driving me nuts. It's another super night here in WAHM addict heaven.

Today is the day that the Bears kick the colt's ass. SO it's a marvelous day! DA BEARS!

I am up way too late. But hubby has promised to let me sleep in. Plus one kid is at a friends house overnight. And he promised to wake another friend up to go jogging in the morning. tee-hee It won't be me and that is all that matters. They will go jogging at the high school. So they can go around 10. Like I can actually sleep in that late. P-SHA won't happen.

Soaps

I have been watching Soap Operas for over 20 years now. It's not that I'm old, it's just that I would sneak in and watch while my Mom was in rest time growing up. lol

I grew up with Bo and Hope growing up also. Let alone they now have kids. :) Then there is Passions with the witches. I know I am stuck on NBC, but I can't help it, I have issues!

I'm not totaly stuck. I know that The Young and The Restless is another classic. I have hit that one for over 20 years, so I guess that is in my schedule. lol Young and the restless has been on forever and it is no wonder why. When they have characters that work, they are on there forever. I guess Days is trying to take lessons by bringing people back. But you know that Victor is on there no matter what! So there will be drama with the money man.

When you can't catch up on your favorite soaps check out Soap Operas and see quickly what is going on. I have less time to watch, so I love to go in and see what my favorite characters are up to. ;)

Breakfast Club

I love my 80's movie's! Comedy Central is playing The Breakfast Club. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I need to order all of the 80's movies. Some Kind of wonderful, the works.

My youngest can't believe that Mike D is married to Molly Ringwald. lmao She must not be a big dork like on the show, come on, would he partake?

It's time for me to buy up all the good old movies and start a collection. Instead of the good newer old movies I've been collecting!

Days of our Lives

K, I'll admit it. I've been addicted to this soap since the 80's when my Mom was watching and said I could. The Summer she said yes was when they crash landed on an island. It was Marleena and there was a dwarf involved. If you watched back then, you can picture exactly who I'm talking about.

K, that was when I was a baby. Then there was hurrying home from school and the wonderful summers off. Not to mention the summers! That was when all the good stuff happened with the kids my age!

Now I'm watching it and feeling older by the minute. Everyone is back. Jennifer is on of course and Jack keeps coming into her life and dieing again. :( Then there is the ever hot couple, Bo and Hope. We have the Marleena, John Black, and Roman Brady.

I can't watch everyday, but I try hard. When I can't get to the tv, I check out Days of our Lives updates to see what happened! I am feeling old now that Patch and Kayla are back on. If Caliaopy (sp?) would come back on, I swear they would have everyone. I'm also super happy that Frankie is back. I loved Frankie and Jennifer. It was hard to go through the decision of who she should fall for when Jack thought he was going to die. What a jerk for putting her in that position! lmao

So if you need updates of your favorite days episodes check out Days of our Lives updates.

Planning a party

When do I have time to plan and hold a kids party? Oh man, I love having them cause the kids get so excited, but it's so much work! We've decided to go with next Sat. and he has chosen a rock-n-roll theme.

It will be a slumber party again, but not so many kids this time. I've already warned him to start cleaning his room. lol It's a wreck. Who the hell has bought him all of these toys? He doesn't even play with them anymore. Ok, he actually does. But normally he's glued to the playstation or doing homework.

I can't wait to see what I get for my bday tomorrow! I have no idea what they got me!

Hilarious ecards

I get so many of the angel, girlie, send this on for good luck cruddy emails. Bleck! No more of them cutesy things, please. When I'm looking for a card to put with a present I'm looking to make them smile. Crack a joke, be inapproprate! I've never liked sending ecards for that reason. They are all so serious, or cute, or whatever, but they are LAME!

Now bring egreetings into the picture.



Egreetings put the fun back into sending cards. It also let's me do it with my favorite medium. Duh, my computer of course. You know, the thing I'm addicted to? lol Now I can harrass my friends as much as I want with goofy ecards in their inboxes. I pay only $13.99 for a full years subscription.

Even better is the fact that I can go through the cards, come across the perfect card for someone, and set it up to send later. No having to go back and try to remember which card to which person. Good grief, who has time for that. And the kids have taken all my memory already so I won't remember to go back on the correct day. lol

There are many special occasions and many genre's for each occasion, such as for her or him. Of course you can personalize the cards and even put pictures in them. This is saving me so much time, not to mention all the money those paper cards cost me! Then include stamps on top of it? Forget it, I'll stick with the $13.99 a year thank you very much. If you want to just give it a try there is a 30 day trial. You can send unlimited ecards with the free trial as well. ;)

It's difficult to figure out just one card to send to my hubby at a time. lol There are so many funny one's that I know would make him laugh. That's the whole point right? Life is serious enough!


birthday eCard by "The Chins"

Now you can't tell me there isn't someone in your email list that needs that card for their next birthday! Go check it out now and set it up ahead of time. No fuss, no forgetting!

Wasted today

We stayed up way too late last night and then I had to get up at 4am to train a client. Good grief it's going to be difficult to stay up tonight. lol Luckily my last appointment is a free one to show around the gym. Yes, this is how I get my new clients, but I also don't have to come up with any motivation. I just have to show them around and answer any questions. Even in my sleep I can talk and laugh up a storm. lmao

So only 2 days left til my bday. I'm going to start the birthday weekend off tonight though. Since youngest and my bdays are a day apart I think we deserve to celebrate all weekend! So tonight I'll toast to us. Tomorrow I was thinking appletini's sound good, and then bday (superbowl!) hubby just bought me my fav beer Widmer Heff. Alright, just called hubby and we are officially celebrating all weekend. He's buying crab for dinner tonight. Not sure about tomorrow. Then superbowl is going to be bbq burgers and lots of snack foods. I've found a bunch of yummy sounding snack stuff that isn't all the bad for you. So I won't even have to have the guilt.

I grabbed some movies and hopefully we will be able to watch them. Of course if I don't get off of here and take a nap soon it won't happen at all. I'll be a party pooper asleep on the couch. lol I grabbed the first season of the Soprano's cause everyone raves about it. Every time I go to the movie store I forget to grab it.

Oh I forgot to mention instead of having a cake on my bday, since the youngest really has to have a cake so he can blow out the candles. I don't want 2 leftover cakes sitting on my counter talking to my gut. Anyway, I decided that we are going to have build your own sundaes for my bday. This way I can do low fat ice cream, non-fat herseys, then load it with some good caramel or whatever I want. Oh and maraschino cherries of course. Less fat than a cake, less guilt than a cake, and I'll forget about the leftovers in the freezer. I always do anymore. Don't you wish you could come to my party?

guess I got lost

I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted. Work has been great. I have 5 clients now and it's kind of spread out throughout the day, so it breaks it up quit a bit. I just need another couple of clients to put in between.

I got my new template for www.busymommawellness.com and started working on that yesterday. I'll work a bunch on it today and tomorrow.

My family is out of town this weekend and I haven't been as productive as I'd hoped. My scrapbook stuff got brought out last night, but I still didn't work on it. I have to get a few pages done before they get home. lol I only have 3 appointments today, so can work on it in between. And tomorrow I only have an appointment at 3 so I can stay up late tonight working on it.

I also have saw 3 to watch. I chickened out watching it last night cause it got too dark. lmao There's no one here to turn off the lights when I go to bed.

Da BEARS!

WOOHOO! Bears are going to the superbowl! Then to top it off...Prince is singing at halftime! Did I mention that the superbowl is on my bday this year? Fuckin' A RIGHT baby! I'm in heaven!

I've decided that we are having a crab fest for the event. I haven't decided who all will be invited to come over, but I do know they will be required to bring bottles of crown with them ;). The superbowl is usually late now and I don't want everyone here all evening. lol Hubby will have to go to work for the second day on that Monday and the kids will have school in the morning.

Did I mention that Urlacher is going to the SUPERBOWL BABY! Now that's hot!!! Can't wait to see him with a ring on.

Another freakin' snow day!

Ummm, I'm pretty sure someone keeps talking about global warming. You sure haven't been able to see it here. Yes, we had a gorgeous long Summer. But we have had more snow days this year than any year ever. I've lived here all my life and the most snow days we've ever had were like 3. Usually 2 is a heavy snow year. lol With the 2 weeks off for break in Dec. we haven't had a full week of school since the beginning of Dec.

Have no idea why it's canceled. Pissed me off cause they waited until 8:55 to cancel it. I'm pretty sure that the 2 hours late start would have been just fine. We are now going to school on June 27th. This sucks!

Thankfully I work from home and set up my own appointments at the gym. I only had 3 set up for today and 2 of them have rescheduled already. I have to get ahold of the other guy. Even if I can't get ahold of him, hubby will be home by then to watch the kids. I can run out there for an hour appoinment. :) I'd prefer to stay home, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to get paid. bahahahaha

FREAKIN' ICE

K, I have noooo problem driving in the snow and some ice here and there. But yesterday our district made the horrible choice of going to school on time. It was bad, realy, really, really bad! Never driven on so bad. Now we went to college over in Spokane with a beater car and I never had a problem driving. That's how bad it was yesterday.

We have fun sliding around on our road, we are used to that. But then I got onto the main road and it was a complete sheet of ice. It looked like snow was in there, but alas, it was compacted into ice. Some moron was stopped in the middle of the intersection. Brakes of course don't want to work cause of the anti-locks, so can't even pump them a little. Thankfully no one was in the other lane, so off I go to try to change lanes and go around if possible. Oh, guess I won't. Guess the kids and I will go sideways down the road in the suburban. La-la-lala I didn't even have time to panic. Makes me feel good that I didn't, proves I'm a freakin' awesome driver. ;)

Should have turned around then, but figured what the hell, I'm already half way to pick up the other girls. Main hiway was stopped up because of a wreck. Needless to say my friend and I kept the kids home for the day. I can't believe we didn't atleast go 2 hours late like everyone around us.

Today was no school because it is even colder. Doesn't look good for tomorrow either. I've been so unproductive! Not because they are home, but because I'm just off my schedule. lol

Help to all Mom's

I am a member of a couple of recipe services online. This is just one thing to make my life easier. Don't get me wrong, I do like to cook. But there are days I don't want to come up with something on my own and I definitely don't want to make the old standby of tacos again. lol Dine Without Whine Dinner Recipes takes care of that.

Each week you will get a menu with the recipes and a shopping list. How easy is that? These recipes are picked by Mom's to make sure they are kid friendly and approved. :) They also have a free newsletter you can sign up for with a special recipe included.

Go SEAHAWKS

Kick off is in 2 hours and 35 minutes. I HATE THE COWBOYS! I hope we stomp the crap out of them. K, gotta go finish cleaning before everyone gets here. Everyone wants to watch the games on my big screen. Imagine that! ;)

Busy day

But what can be expected from busy Momma, huh? We actually got up on time this morning so I got my emails out of the way early. Loved that! Went and worked out immediately after dropping the kids off. Double loved that! Home for a shower, then off to the salon. I can't freakin' wait to get my hair done. Full treatment again baby. Highlights, color, cut, the whole damn deal. I've missed my beautiful red highlights. I promise to work on pictures as many people have been waiting for an updated picture of me. roflmao

I am so excited right now I seriously feel like puking. Hopefully it doesn't happen, but the suspense is killing me. As I'm sure I've posted, don't have time to read back and check this minute, hubby has been offered a conditional job. We are just waiting for the background check to go for him and the 4 other guys. We know everyone on his has been contacted and most of the other guys too. Well the Chief called and left a message a few minutes ago. I'm sure it's about the job and I can barely hold my lunch down. Damn it, I just ate and it's sitting in my gut like a lump of crap.

Hubby just called me back to get the number. I threatened him with no forgiveness ever and lots of bodily harm if he doesn't call me right back. lol So now I sit and WAIT. And WAIT. Waiting. Mother FUCKER, I hate waiting like this.

Tonight I am packed with appointments of course. And tomorrow I have 2 more in the evening. So we can't go out and celebrate. I've got to put out lots of prayers tonight. Life is so fucking good right now.

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG. It's official. He is now a paid fire man. He starts Feb. 1st. I'M so damn proud of him!!! Now I'm going to be a bawling mess all day. lmao

Working today

Hmm, I'm supposed to be. I had too many errands to run and now I'm off. I did make it into work this morning for a few hours and met a few new people, so that is cool. I'm going to go back in later this afternoon and see if I can't get some appointments generated.

So today is supposed to be my newsletter. Guess I will run off and do that immediately!

The kitchen is already a mess and that pisses me off. Here I'm working hard at keeping it clean and there is stuff everywhere. lol I'm sure it'll only take me minutes to tidy it up and a small load of dishes, but still. Then there is the pile of clean clothes that still haven't folded themselves. lmao They'll still be there tonight, so no hurry I guess.

I guess another reason I haven't gotten anything done now that I'm home is that I'm watching The Covenant. lol I haven't gotten to watch movies in quite a while and I really missed it. I'm not going into the gym for very long on Friday, so I think I'll watch some others. There has to be some chick flix that I've missed. BTW, this movie is pretty good. Especially for a movie that is geared towards teens. It's not a waste of time and it's not all gore and no story. Plus there are hot, young guys with their shirts off ;) SO it's all good! Except for the fact that I'm not getting much done with it on! YIKES

Too much shopping!

Like all the money on Christmas shopping wasn't enough, now we are buying up a ton of cleaning and organizing products. We even bought a new vacuum. And I was excited about it dang it! How old and sick am I getting? Excited about a vacuum? K, it's really a pretty purple-blue and it has one of those bins you just untwist and dump the dirt out. It's awesome! It is a great deal at Target and you can use the coupon online for an even better deal. Did I mention I can dump the little canister of dirt and dog hair in the garbage without a plume of dust in my asthmatic face? It's a fact, I've gotten old. :(

I know there is a Target right down the road, but I still shop online instead. I can use online coupons then instead of waiting for what I want to go on sale. If there is a free shipping option it saved me even more because of gas. lol With my suburban, that is a big saver.

Target isn't the only online shop I get coupons for. You can get promotion codes for many stores on the main page. They are all stores I shop frequently with biz and personal, so why not save as much money as possible?
