it’s finally here

My friend is getting married this weekend at a Renaissance Faire and I’m the photographer! I’m psyched. I’ve bought costumes (mine is pictured above) for us all, so we can dress in the period and my son can’t wait to do all the sword fighting, etc. that they have for kids. It looks like a fun weekend. See you Monday!

what are you people thinking? lol

I took a look at my blog stats today – I like to see where my visitors come from, etc. I’m getting a little worried LOL

But that’s not bad enough…

LOL Now obviously, these results come from picking words from my posts … but when the hell did I ever talk about kinky hotels, 15% off at babeland or ladle naked ANYTHING? rotflmao

Walmart sucks. I’ve said that since I worked there and was treated like shit. Walmart Sucks.

This week, they suck more. They’ve decided to “phase out” their layaway program because of increasing costs and decreasing interest. Apparently, the don’t GET that parents need them to provide HIDING SPACE for those Christmas presents, not just the option of paying over time. They don’t GET this. Instead, this is what they’re now offering: “At the same time, Wal-Mart is working to offer customers new payment options. The company already has zero interest offers for 6 and 12 months for current Wal-Mart cardholders. For the first time, customers who apply for a new Discover or Wal-Mart Credit Card will receive $20 cash back when they apply at the register and purchase at least $100 on their card the same day.”

Hey, isn’t that kind of them. Give me an interest-charging credit card and in return, no place to hide my kid’s presents.

Asswipes.

In other news, Baby Abby was returned safely to her mom. I’m really glad to hear that, although I doubted that the nutjob who took her would harm her – my 9 yr old, upon hearing that she was safe, said that the same thing should be done to the kidnapper that she’d done to the mom.

This chick lost her full-term baby that day, so decided that she should just go out and snatch another woman’s baby. Clearly, she has issues. While I sympathize with her loss, trying to kill another woman to get her baby just isn’t the way to DEAL, people.

And of course, in the same category of stupid, stupid people, comes another death in an Indianapolis hospital where premature babies, who WERE surviving despite the odds, are dying because some dumbass gave them an adult dose of the drug heparin, a blood thinner. 3 babies have died because of someone’s obvious carelessness… and I can only begin to fathom the pain that those parents must be feeling, much less the parents of the babies still waiting at death’s door. I hope that the people who are responsible are charge to the fullest extent of the law, but nothing brings those babies back

grapes

	Got Any Grapes?
	A ducks walks into a bar and asks, “Got any grapes?”The bartender, confused, tells the ducks that no, his bar doesn’t serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves.The next day, the duck returns and says, “Got any grapes?” Again, the bartender tells him that, no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes. The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves. The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: ”Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes! If you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your stupid duck beak to the bar!” The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, ”Got any nails?” Confused, the bartender says no. ”Good!” says the duck. ”Got any grapes?”

a (late) ode to grandparents

My mother left my stepfather in the middle of the night. She walked out with us (my 18 month old brother and my 3 yr old self) after instructing me to pick one toy out. She walked out after having found me bleeding from the face after he’d punched me. (I still don’t get how you can punch a 3 yr old). She was 23 yrs old. We lived in Alabama. She had to make her way back to RI with 2 kids and no money.

My grandparents helped her, and eventually, we got Home. We lived with them for the next 10 years. My grandmother worked in a buckle factory. She never made more than $3.65 an hour in her whole life. My grandfather had a lifetime history of heart problems, so he was on disability. He braided my hair, made our lunches, made sure we were dressed properly. He & my grandmother used to crochet afghans. They made my brother & I our own when we were very little (still living in AL) – I still have that afghan and protect it from my own kids grabbing little hands because they love it too. lol

Woman pleads guilty in fake penis case.

That’s the kind of headline that catches my attention LOL

They did it because they were trying to pass a drug test… ok, that’s patethic, but I understand that much. But how the hell does the clerk mistake a fake dick for a severed one. Seriously, if you can’t tell the difference, you should do some research. and ok, I’m sorry but $425 is alot for a microwave….

Bunch of dumbasses.

Oh and here’s a Mother of the Year nominee:

Woman forced children to eat their own vomit after forcing them to gorge themselves. A whopping 2-6 years. Unfreakin BElievable.
In another blog I was reading today, the blogger says a dr. once told her that giving birth via c-section was “the cadillac way of giving birth”. Excuse me????

I’m sorry, but having a needle inserted into my spinal column, then being cut from one end to the other, having those flaps pulled open, then having my uterus cut open, then having hands thrust into my uterus while another set of hands PUSH MY BABY OUT of that cut and into the waiting hands of the other set of hands…( all the while fighting a massive wave of nausea from the goings on down south), then being sutured and stapled shut, leaving all this AIR inside to later bunch up in my shoulder causing enough pain to not let me PICK UP MY BABY.. not be able to go to the bathroom for nearly a WEEK, not be able to get out of bed for a full day and even then, have to carry my stomach with me because now it’s hanging down to my kneecaps… every step sending shockwaves of pain up throughout my entire body…

THIS IS NOT A CADILLAC.

This is major surgery. This is dangerous surgery. This is NOT A CADILLAC. I’d love to meet that doctor, just so I could give him a CADILLAC kick in the nuts.

something else that makes me go hmmmmmm

I’ve been wondering about something.

I saw on the news today that Matt Lauer was interviewing someone named Debra Lefave or something like that. My first thought was “who?” and of course “who cares?”. Now I find out that she was a middle school teacher who had sex with a 14 yr old male student. 2 years ago. She’s under house arrest, yadda yadda yadda.

Why is this worthy of Matt Lauer?

Would he be interviewing a male student who’d done the same thing?

“but realizes now she “made a really, really, really bad choice.” Ya think? LOL

Seriously though – why the big deal? Someone please tell me? A male teacher wouldn’t be under house arrest, I’m sure. He’d be in JAIL, with the rest of the sex offenders. Not on the Today show. Double standards abound.

Kinda reminds me of why I homeschool. Although I’m betting that 14 yr old didn’t feel so victimized. LOL

party hardy

I went to what is sure to be my last play party for quite some time last night. My good friends hosted, and I’d never been able to make it to one of their parties, so I took some steps to ensure I’d be able to do so. I’m glad I did. They’re wonderful hosts.

First, we all had dinner, which was essentially potlock. Most of the small group I’ve been friends with or several years – it was a very comfortable atmosphere. I much prefer that to a big party, where you don’t know everyone, and you have to keep a DOMME facade on at all times, lest you be confused as a submissive. I don’t know why it bothers me that people would mistake me for a submissive, but it does. Makes no sense, since most of my friends, including my best friend, are submissives. However, I digress.

Very comfortable crowd, even with (eventually) 3 people I’d only met through chat. Every single person actually played at one point or another as well. I got to wax one of the birthday girls – now I’ve done wax play before – ya know, the old fashioned way- burning candle… drip drip drip. Ouch. But someone along the pervy way in the past few years figured out that these parafin spas do an even better job of wax play and I must say I have to agree. My “victim” lay naked, on her back, in the chilly dungeon basement. I’d never experimented with this sort of wax play, so I was a bit tentative until I got the idea that she was enjoying it. Essentially, the wax has been melted and is in liquid form in the spa. You ladle the wax out and pour it over whatever you want to wax Much easier. It’s a lower temp, and the wax is wonderful to work with. The moans. The smiles. The moans some more. It was a fun experience.
