Here we go again....

Hi Everyone.  It's been a while.... but I've been busy - or at least busy looking busy.  The holidays snuck up on me and things just got busy.  I've missed blogging, so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I hope you will keep checking the blog... I really do want to get more consistent.

So despite the fact that I don't like (read HATE) reality shows, I have to admit that I've started watching a few lately.  Now, I know.... I know.... they are most likely scripted but wow.... they are addictive. Here's my take on a few.

• First is The Voice.  I started watching it because a friend from High School was a contestant. (He was amazing by the way).  Originally, I was very much against it because I couldn't believe Shakira would have anything of importance to say.  However, she surprised me.  Not only is she sweet, doesn't dress like a ho, she is a great coach.  She actually gives useful and good advice.  Also, Usher surprised me in that way as well.  I think he may be the best coach.  Plus let's face it.... Adam is HHHOOOTTT!!!!  The show actually seems to want the contestants to succeed.  Not like American Idol, where that is just one big circus train wreck. 

•  Second, I'm very much into Duck Dynasty.  While I resisted its redneck lure for the first two seasons, I find that I very much enjoy it.  I like that the teens show respect, that they pray before meals, there isn't constant beeping out of language, and I do love watching their antics.  Jace is my favorite bearded duck hunter.... I love that he manipulates the group so much..  Ok... ok, I really just admire that he does it so well.  

There are several others that I watch here and there.  Mostly I don't care for them enough to watch every episode, and I tend to have the t.v. on while I'm working on other projects.

Which brings me to another topic.  I have a new hobby.  Flea Marketing. I know!  I don't want to love it... but I'm super addicted!  I am into re-purposing items.  In the last six months, I've repainted five rooms, re-upholstered my couch, re-purposed eight chairs, three tables, and several other small projects.  Yea..... I've been busy.  And I've started a very small side business and website.  Please go here and take a look.  Like my Facebook page and visit often. 

This has also peaked my interest in shows like Storage Wars and Haunted Collector. I don't want to accidentally pick up a ghost at the flea market.  Unless it was a cool ghost that told me the future... .like a genie.... that would be cool.

Here's a look at the new graphics.

 

Zombies, Tigers and Cinderella... yea. I'd go see that movie.

Hey folks. Had a minor medical procedure recently so I took another break. The doctor says I will stop repeating myself in a few weeks!   I’m good.  I’m back and feeling better (sassy), so I thought I would do some bloggin’.  Did ya miss me?  Anyone? Anyone?  (crickets chirping).  Well, ok then, haters…. 

I had a post written up about my pet peeves with Facebook. Consisting of 10 – 20 A LOT of different ways people annoy me on Facebook.  Which really just boils down to I’m not patient and kinda hateful.  So I won’t go there.  Between the hateful and the repeated mumblings, I’m a few cats shy of crazy cat lady status.  However I will say something.  People…Those of us who are working don’t want to know that you are off work relaxing.  We want to Facebook stalk people from high school from the comfort of our offices.  Under the assumption that everyone else had to get up super early, spill coffee on their lap on the way in, and were late because of a train.  NO ONE wants to know that you are home, doing your Facebook stalking in your jammies.  Makes me stabby. 

That being said…. Please go like my Facebook page!!!!!!!

The Dr. says I’ll stop repeating myself in a few weeks. I think I want a cat.

Then I thought about writing a post on the elections.  But honestly, that’s so cliché right now.  Bottom line, all the ads make me feel stabby.  I really want them to stop talking.  Here’s a thought.  Vote Gladiator style.  Make the candidates fight for office.  Throw them some weapons like those big swords and harpoon things.  Oh… I love those metal nets… gotta have those.  Add in some hungry lions and tigers.  Maybe a puma.  I would so totally watch a debate between the candidates and a couple of hungry jungle cats. 

Why we can't have nice things....

Me: Can we get a comforter with skulls on it?

Hubs: No

Me: Just look at it.  They are arranged very nicely. Almost a flower pattern.

Hubs: No

Me: Oh, come on.  Don’t be racist… just because they don’t have flesh!

Hubs: (cricket chirping silence….)

Me: We should set a good example for the kids.
