Plants are creepy

So you may not know this about me... but I really don't like plants.  Now, this doesn't include flowers, I love flowers (hint, hint Charles).  Besides, flowers have already been hacked off from the plant itself, so they no longer pose any kind of threat.  But any kind of non-flower plant makes me itchy.  Not in a "I'm allergic" kind of itchy... but in the "that plant creeps me out" kind of itchy. 





I mean, plants may not have large, complex brains like we do.  But... they are alive.  They need water and air just like we do.  They're basically like super-unintelligent small green people.  And they sit there with their little judge-y roots and leaves, wanting you to feed it, and sing to it, and prune it, or whatever the heck you do with plants. 





I have this fear that one day plants will take over the world.  I mean, if left unchecked, a small patch of weeds will take over your whole yard, right?  Imagine what would happen if nobody paid any attention to these "harmless" plants and then BAM! 




Just sayin.

Well THAT Was Embarrassing...

*disclaimer - this post is about LADY PARTS. You're welcome. 

Ladies, let me just start out by saying that we go through a whole hell of a lot in our lives, don't we?  Just being women entails a whole slew of things that could be described as unpleasant.  Let me list them out for you, because I know you're dying to relive all of this along with me: 

-Constantly having to shave various areas (aka operation kill Sasquatch)
-Getting your period every month - Just... why? 
-Not getting your period #ohshingle
-Giving birth (aka passing watermelons through a straw)
-Mammograms (aka making boob pancakes)
-Pap smears


Oh pap smears.  So, I think you know where I'm headed with this.  Last week, I had to go to the gynecologist for my annual exam and pap smear.  Definitely not something I look forward to every year, but I know it's important.  Yet also annoying. 

I knew it would be off to a rocky start when the nurse tells me to take off my bra, but leave my shirt on. Wtf? Do you know how weird that is? This is what I was wearing...  


Awk...ward. All dressed up and nowhere for your boobs to go. 

So the doctor finally comes in.  We do a little chit chatting, she asks me some questions, the usual.  Then we get down to business.  Lady business.  I've assumed the position, feet in stirrups, the whole 9 yards. Then, out of nowhere, with her face like 5 inches from my you-know-what, she asks, "Did Dr. P. deliver your last baby?" 

My heart starts pounding, and I'm freaking out for no reason. It's not like she asked me if I like scary movies. But I say, "Umm... yes he did." And she says "Yea, I thought so." DUDE! How could she tell? Did he leave a calling card?  Did he carve his initials down there? "Dr P. was here"... I mean, what in the holy heck? 

Of course now I'm so freaking curious, I need to know what the heck she was seeing! 

Does this crap only happen to me???

When You Say Cat, I Say....

Last week, I asked my lovely Facebook and Twitter peeps to help me out by sending me a word, any word at all.  The reason? Well, I wanted to try something new and find new inspiration for the blog and my writing.  Thank you all so much to everyone who helped out. 

So, today's post is brought to you by the word cat. 
(Thanks, Megan, for the suggestion!) 

via

I'm definitely more of a cat person than a dog person.  I think cats suit my personality -- grumpy and solitary, haha.  Dogs are so rambunctious sometimes and just make me crazy.  BUT alas, my son is allergic to cats and my hubby is a diehard dog person.  So, I guess I'm outnumbered. 

I had a cat when I was very little, probably 4 or 5.  His name was Randy and he was a cute little orange and white tabby cat.  I would dress that poor cat up all the time and drag him out of whatever hiding place he was in and make him play with me. haha. He was a good sport, though, definitely not a grumpy cat.  He'd sit on my lap for hours and just purr his little heart out.  I loved cats so much that I even nicknamed my step-dad Kitty Cat because when I first met him, he had several cats at his place and I thought I was in cat heaven playing with all of them.  

Of course, this story doesn't have a happy ending.  I had to give Randy away because we were moving out of our townhouse and into a bigger home and my mom wouldn't let me bring him. Don't ask me why, it didn't make sense to me when I was 5 and doesn't make sense to me now.  But my mom is a whole other story for another day.  

Anyway, here's a poem I wrote for Randy:

How happy you made me, oh Randy //
Well you came and you gave without taking //
And I sent you away, oh Randy

What? #barrymanilowcansuckit

I'd love it if you suggested a word for me! I might use it in a post. Keep it clean, people. :) Ciao!

P.S. Don't forget to link up for the Hump Day Hop! Meet new friends, find new awesome blogs to read. And join us in being happy that we're that much closer to Friday! :)

A Mother's Love

via



Happy Mother's Day, lovies!  I hope you're able to spend it relaxing somehow, maybe with some breakfast in bed? Some quality time with the family... or even just some alone time. 






Goodness knows that us moms have extremely difficult, but also the most rewarding jobs on this earth.  Our kids can makes messes, throw tantrums, and just plain try our patience sometimes... but there is nothing better to me than being a mom.  It changed my whole life, and I can't imagine life without my sweet little sidekicks.  Love you, Bubba and Bee-boo. 


Speaking of Mother's Day, there's nothing sweeter than giving (or receiving) a heartfelt Mother's Day card.  I was contacted recently by the awesome folks at Cardstore and was lucky enough to create a card for my mom (don't worry, she never reads my blog, so the surprise won't be spoiled!).  Not only is the website easy to use, but there are SO many options and ways to customize your card. You can add different fonts, photos, etc, to make your card express your sentiments perfectly.  You can even tap into Facebook and upload photos directly from your albums there. Sweet! Not only that, but you can choose to have your card mailed to the recipient straight from the site if you'd like. Thus saving time and making sure your card gets where it needs to be in plenty of time! 






From beginning to end, I was super impressed with Cardstore's website, shipping, and quality!  Father's Day is right around the corner, so check out Cardstore and create a card masterpiece to send to your dad today! 


*Disclaimer: I received a free card in exchange for my review.  All opinions are my own.
