The Garden?

I ordered these mats from QVC that are supposed to make a flower garden.  Of course I ordered them, because for $15.98 you can't beat it.

Usually I just get flats of flowers from the Home Depot, but this year I decided to get off cheap.

What is this?  Do I just have a garden full of weeds or what?  Will I ever get some flowers out of this?

What do you think?  Did I get screwed or what?

My Week (Cliff Notes Version) 6/29

1) Hubz and I and my sister and her Hubz are going to the Morrissey concert tonight at the Mann Music Center.  Should be rockin.  Whatever shall I wear?  *update* The concert has been postponed because Moz has a sore throat.  Boo.

2) Maddy is getting used to her new bras.  She says they are comfortable.  Just wait kiddo til you have to wear underwire like Mommy, just wait.  You are lucky that you have cute little cotton bras.  I am jealous.

3) Benny is finally getting into ice cream.  That should make me happy shouldn't it?  That is until he has a big mess all over his shirt, hands, shorts, face, and wherever else ice cream can drip. 

4) I am getting back into my knitting.  All I can knit is scarves though, tee hee.  But I like the meditative state it puts me in.  It's relaxing.

5) Darn it I miss my banner.  I have no idea how to make a new banner.  If I was just on Blogger, then I could have a really cool template, but who wants to switch.  I like Typepad, just don't like that you have to either use one of their templates or know CSS coding.  *sigh*

6) It's vacation time for us.  We are going down to Wildwood next week.  I can't wait, the kids are excited too.  I am excited to go on the Swinger.  It's my favorite ride, and I think this year Maddy is big enough to go on it  with me.  Beach and fun in the sun.  WOO HOO!

And that is all I have to say about that.

Palm vs. Planner

I am getting used to the whole Palm way of organizing now.  I have the graffiti part of it down pat.  It took a few days, but I must say I do feel naked without my paper planner.  It is so strange.  I would take that with me everywhere.  It had all of my business cards in there, and some pictures, etc.  Yes, I know I can do that digitally as well, but I miss it.

Oh planner, you were my best friend.  You were always there when I needed you.  You held my all of my important stuff.  I feel naked without you. 

Oh Palm, make me feel comfortable and fall in love with you just like I did with my paper planner.  I need you to let me write and play games on you.  I need you to hold my tasks and contacts.  I need you to hold some pictures of the kids so I don't look like a bad mom when I run into someone at the store and they ask to see pictures and I don't have any.  Make me love you.

It takes time...to fall in love again.  I will.

The Timeout

Apparently I am fired as Mom.  I am a poophead and I am naughty.  My stuff is going to get broken and my house is stinky.  He is going to throw me away.  He is going to get me.  I am a mean, little girl.  He doesn't like me anymore.

This is what Ben is telling me during his time out.  Why is it that the kids get so cranky and there are so many more tears in the summer time?  THIS KID IS SIX YEARS OLD.  This kid has trouble in school and has to take speech therapy.  Where does he learn this stuff?

Is it Spongebob?  Is it some show on Nickelodeon?  I just don't get it.  We don't say these kinds of things around our house.  Is it the other kids? 

OH, what did he do to get a time out?  He got the hose and squirted one of MJ's Webkinz.  Boy was she upset.

Am I glad it's summer?  Yes.  Nothing a Red Stripe can't fix.

The Old Days

When I first started this blog in December of 2005 I was inspired by two blogs I had found, 
The Reign Of Ellen and Diary Of The Nello

I still love those blogs.

But anyway, I was reading some of my older posts and damn I was a good writer.  I would write long posts that were actually good.  Talk about the kids, do the My Week (Cliff Notes Version), Self Portrait Challenge.  That review really made me think.

I am going to try to tap into how I used to be.  Write, write, write.  Something that I loved.  I miss now.  Really get back into the bloggy world.  It used to be my favorite hobby, now my favorite hobby is Bejeweled.  Ha!

I miss the old me.  You miss the old me.  Watch out cause she is coming back.  Somehow :)

Headaches and Orgasms

Let's get personal.

Tee hee, let's start off a Monday with a question for all of you.

Have you ever gotten a wicked headache either right before or after an orgasm?  I have never had this happen before until now.

Ever since I have been taking the Wellbutrin, this has happened to me.  The headache lasts into the next day as well.  It's awful.

I should probably be asking the doctor this question, but I figured I would ask my bloggy buddies first.

Going Electronic

I am trying to go from this

To this

Any of you electronic buffs?  Any of you have a Palm and switched from a planner to a Palm?   

Tell me.

The First Day Of Summer

I love summer.  I love the flowers growing, the kids playing, the guys playing horseshoes, and the heat.  Well not too hot, but warm. 

I am so glad that now I don't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning to get myself ready for the day.  I can sleep later, go to work later, no rushing around, no fighting with the kids that like to fool around, it's good.

We will be going down to the beach 4th of July week.  I can't wait.  Beach, boardwalk, drinking.  But we are bringing Sammy, so that should be interesting. 

Ah, just some random crap for the first day of summer.

The New Weight Loss Wonder Drug

Have you guys heard about this new FDA approved diet pill called Alli?  It is supposed to break down the fat in your food and come out the other end with a vengeance. 

The packaging is appealing, the diet plan looks good, but the side effects?  No thanks.  One of the side effects is that you could shart yourself.  I don't want to be on a diet pill that makes me have to wear Depends.  Ewww.

Have any of you tried this new wonder drug?  Talk to me.
