Dumb Ass Moves

Sometimes I make some real dumb ass moves.  Like rubbing someones phone down my pants* or picking a fight. Dumb assery is not to be confused with plain ol' stupidity (Whoo hoo!  I'm totally going to drive topless!*) or complacency (Oh! Were you trying to drive through that green light?  I have no actual awareness of the world outside my self-induced bubble and like I totally feel like crossing the street right now. My bad...) I was a total dumb ass for watching FX's new show, 'American Horror Story' while cleaning out my attic crawl space.  Yup, I actually lugged my laptop up there with me and while squished into a dark, tiny spot loaded with crevices and hidden areas I decided to watch people get killed by a haunted house.  Dumb ass!I'm … [Read more...]

Money Talks

Last I checked my Dad was the one holding this ten dollar bill.  He didn't even know what a MILF was and I had to explain it. Awkward.http://www.juiceboxjungle.com/iframe/embed/162831_2009-09-22-205021?amazon_id=wwwthemummych-20More parenting videos on JuiceBoxJungle … [Read more...]

The Tiniest Room

You know you are in a tiny hotel room when you can see every part of the room from every part of the room.  You know you are in a tiny hotel room when you have to stand in the shower to shut the bathroom door.You know you are in a tiny hotel room when you iron your shirt for work that day and it sets off the smoke alarm in your room.  I'm afraid I might start hitting the walls with my ever-growing stomach next. … [Read more...]

Just Because It’s Free…

I love me some Freecycle. I think it is one of the best things on the Internet most days.  Every few seconds my email inbox is updated with new items that are available for free.  All I have to do it pick them up.  Most of the time it is some pretty good stuff. An XM radio system here, a set of living room furniture there or even maternity clothes in your size. It's green, good for the community and for the wallet.Other times you run into postings like this -OFFER:  One Water Heater.  Heater is broken and cannot be fixed.  It has been outdoors for some time too.  Will need two people to pick up this heater as it is heavy.So, basically it is scrap metal you want removed from your yard for free, huh fellow freecycler?  You don't want to do it yourself … [Read more...]

Waste Always Makes Me Angry

That title my friends is a direct quote from 'Gone with the Wind' courtesy of Rhett Butler. While he was talking about the Civil War and the South, I am talking about clothes.I give away a lot of stuff. I belong to Freecycle. I donate to Goodwill, Purple Heart, my church and to the Vietnam Veterans Association. If I have something to give, I will give it. I buy second-hand items too. If we no longer need it but someone else might then I am happy to offer it up. I don't like waste. It is not good for us or the planet.  Therefore, I just cannot understand this type of behavior from H&M or any other company, even the evil W. When I first saw the article (tweeted by @jodifur and @amalah), I was aghast. Surely, there had to be some good, plausible reason that bags upon bags of … [Read more...]
