Broke and strapped for cash?

 

Alrighty, so I haven’t written an update in awhile. Mainly nothing going on with Meredith out to sea for awhile. However, lately i’ve been wanting to write something down so that all of you who follow my blog (and never comment on stuff, ya bastards….this excludes you Cass <3) can get some sort of update that I truly am alive, lol.

Alas, I have as of late been short of material, until now.

On with the show:

As of late ive been partaking a lot of Hulu.com for my tv watching experience while the kids are sleeping, and ive run across something funny enough for me to share.

Yes, it is the show “Get me out of here, I’m a Celebrity”

Basically the show is about a bunch of celebrities dropped off into the middle of a rainforest and they have to go through their fears.

Of course the first thing that comes to my mind is, “my god these guys are really strapped for cash if they are doing this. I wonder how much they get paid”

Most of the celebrities on here are not really on my radar of people to watch, except for two.  Lou Diamond Philips, a great guy, who i really think is better than this show, and Alec Baldwin. However, I have to say, I don’t think a baldwin can do anything that can surprise me anymore.

Seriously, can you think of something, short of murder, that a baldwin hasn’t done yet?

Ya, didn’t think so :-P

Also, let me mention the wife of Rob Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois. *head shake* The who and the what now?

Seriously, i did not recognize how bad his stupidity in trying to sell a seat on the senate caused so much grief as to make you flee to a rainforest.

I’m sorry ma’am, truly, I did not recognize how bad it was :-P

So anyway, check out the celebrities getting tortured, it’ll at least entertain you for an evening while you are drinking with friends :-)

Get me out of here, i’m a celebrity

Reverse OCD

 

So I think Rienna might have OCD, well, ok maybe not, but it’s about as close as I can explain it in short terms.

Basically, instead of being compelled to clean and put stuff in order, she is compelled to take every bin out of the cubby and empty it’s contents onto the floor. Then merrily move onto the next one.

Lemme show you what im talking about.

Imagine if you will, each of those boxes, maybe 1ft by 1ft, are filled to the brim with assorted toys. Now imagine them on your floor. Imagine all of the toys looking like an odd magma flow of plastic pieces and stuff animals strewn across your floor. Start to feel a bit crazy?

Yeah.. me too.

Man, I do love the kids a lot, but seriously, must you empty out every bin?

oh snap, time travelin again!

 

I was told I needed to do quads this time. :-P

OMG we had double twins!

 

Yeah, so I went back in time and made my little swimmers mutants and we ended up with two sets of twins.

Im just that awesome.

Every so often, my crazy ideas, might possibly be right

 

 

So we’re watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition(our new tv watching series) and a thought came to me.

For those of you that don’t know, this show is about Ty Pennington going around the country with his trusty band of constructors, building new homes for people in need. It’s a very heart tugging show. I find myself fighting back tears from time to time…it’s that emotional.

But that got me thinking. Ty Pennington really puts the screws to people to get the tears flowing. For example, he’ll be talking to somebody like the mom of the family, about the background, whats wrong with the house, and then all of a sudden he will get this sad look in his face and say something that just tugs at the emotions of whoever he is talking to. Like, “I know, you tried so hard to keep your family safe…and then the fire came…..”

By this time the person is in tears and he looks extremely satisfied. It’s subtle but once you see a few of these shows, you’ll understand and know exactly when and how he’ll start pulling at the strings.

And that brings me to my theory…..Ty Pennington is a Tear Vampire. He lives off of the tears of human beings. Hell even in the beginning, he shows the application video the families send in, and he makes his own people cry!

Anyway, don’t take my word for it, watch the show, and for further evidence, just look at this picture.

 

Just look at that smiling face!

:-P

P.S. This is all in jest….maybe?… :-)   Ty! if you are reading this, you do good work, keep it up

The zombie Invasion is upon us!!

 

Soooooon!!

Here’s a short excerpt.

 

The flies "dive-bomb" the fire ants and lay eggs. The maggot that hatches inside the ant eats away at the brain, and the ant starts exhibiting what some might say is zombie-like behavior.

"At some point, the ant gets up and starts wandering," said Rob Plowes, a research associate at UT.

The maggot eventually migrates into the ant's head, but Plowes said he "wouldn't use the word 'control' to describe what is happening. There is no brain left in the ant, and the ant just starts wandering aimlessly. This wandering stage goes on for about two weeks."

O.o

I recommend getting The Zombie Survival Guide while you can!!

I will miss you!

 

The rain had come.

In most cases, I would have been happy. The rain has generally always left me in high spirits, and low in temperature(a bonus in my case), cleansed as though it had washed away any grimy stress clinging to my soul.

The rain today, was not one of those.

No, today's rain had brought with it a deep, bellowing sorrow. The sorrow of having the one you love the most taken from you, if only for a short time.

I watched her leave, through the blurring wind and rain, and enter into the huge titan of steel. I marked the memory in my mind, to try and keep it close, but the rain and it's sorrow had seemed to want to flush it away.

As I walked home with the kids, a silence grew around us. We watched as other souls passed by us on their somber trek away from their homes, their families, their lives. Then the rain pressed in upon us, and soaked us to the bone, leaving behind a pit of mud in the depths of our hearts, for our missing beloved.

At last we arrived home, weighed down from our journey through the gray mist and rain, and  at once I started a bath and put the kids into the soothingly warm water. They perked up immediately, as though brought back to life with an extra pack of spare batteries.

Not wanting to ruin the moment, but wanting to make sure they knew what had just occurred, I asked them if they remembered where mommy had went. Surprisingly, the oldest looked at me, smiled and said, "Mommy went on the boat, in the water!" and then laughed and as if nothing else happened, picked up some bubbles floating nearby and showed them to me.

At once, all but a fraction of the sorrow was gone, replaced by a warm, fantastic glow, and as I looked at the kids, I knew, I just knew, that everything would be alright.

We'll see you soon hun. Have fun on your adventure!
