Had fun all summer at the lake house….trailor.

Got us a pontoon, she’s a beauty.

PAID OFF MY HOUSE!!! Whoot whoot

Raised a baby raccoon, Cricket, who has me worried right now cuz she left and has been gone for a month :(

My Dad died, sad…. sad :(

School is going good, learning lots of stuff, flunking English though.

Hubby likes his new job and I still hate mine.

Okay, now ur up to speed :)

Onward….. Spring is coming, very excited. Hoping my coon will come home I miss her like crazy.

My mama got a new trailor and will be delivered in three weeks, so happy for her, she deserves it.

Getting the old trailor out is proving to be stressful because of the time crunch but I’m sure something funny will happen to video tape for you before it’s all over.

I am finally going to start my pinata bizness, let me refer you to my other blog to see my fluffy fabulous creations. Hope you like um enuff to buy um… lol

And I guess that concludes our recap of my life since June..

Pretty boring I know :(

Where To Find The Beef

******Where's The Beef******

That's the question on the minds of me and my coworkers this day. Apparently, a whole roast beef has come up missing. The boss lady is mad as hell and someone is going to pay... Anyway, this new drama has brought to mind... Where is the beef? Mine, is right down the road. But, what about people who are not surrounded by cattle farmers?

Kroger's, would be my guess, but what about people who can't get to a grocery store? Can you buy beef online? So, I did some research and yes, you can.. that's pretty cool, I guess.. But what quality of beef are you getting? 

I found a site that sales grass fed beef and apparently, grass fed beef is the best kind of beef... so now, I wonder what other kind of beef there is?...really, what do cows eat if not grass?? lol

Looking into this further, I found that some farmers feed their cows corn and grain (not their natural food source.)  
There is a big controversy between grass fed beef and grain fed beef...here are two sites that explain it better

One........Two ....yuk... Makes me feel lucky cuz, I can see my beef eating grass..

Sure would make a funny video to have someone ask their butcher " Excuse me but, what did this cut of beef eat...lol

Their is an easy way to tell though..

 If the fat is transparently white (like the one on the left) it's grain fed and if the fat has a yellow tinge to it (like the one on the right) its grass fed.... the yellow tinge is the beta carotene.
      ****Yummy****

Rednecks and Water

Okay, let us first establish that, Yes, I am still alive.

I have not forgotten my blog, I have just been    exceedingly    busy....

                                                                                                insert big word here

School went pretty good for this first semester, I even got some A's woohoo. I have decided to take the summer off, to get my house clean again, play in the dirt and camp and fish as much as I can. To accomplish that,we got us a little place on the lake, it's a trailer, that we're gonna purdy up real nice,hubs is calling it
our lake house..(pause)...trailer. lol

We finally got everything finalized, and met the new neighbors, they seem nice and seem to like us so far, that will probably only last about five minutes...after...... they meet my uncle. (this may also work for my daughters boyfriend :)

                             

We spent our first weekend there over Memorial day and had a blast. My mama loves it there and we have named our retreat 'The Doll House' (that's my Mama's name) soooo cute hu. Anyway, we even got my dad to go and he had a good time too, that was nice to see.

We rented two pontoons and the best thing I can say about them is that they ran (for awhile)

We raced and lost...... Got beat by the kids ...fare and square.. damn it...

Everyone loved cruising on the pontoons, and we want one of our own (as soon as I can pull the money out of my ass)

I don't however, want one like the ones we rented, they were soo fun and we had a great time, till one of them broke down.
Luckily though, we had a mechanic on board and he fixed it right there on the water. Then, we headed to shore, and that's when the other one ran outa gas! Can you believe it. Well, my daughter and hubs were stranded for an hour, so when I got back to the rental place I proceeded to 'politely' tell the dude "to go git them now!.... or receive my foot up his ass!", I also mentioned that, my sister fell through the bench cuz, it was rotted out and that I cut my leg all up on a piece of plywood. He didn't have a whole lot to say, as he ran and got his brother, who was better at dealing with a really pissed off woman. Not only did he rescue my baby, he gave me back all of our money. WOO HOO. So, we ended up cruising the water for about seven hours for... FREE....I believe I've mentioned before how great I think 'Free' is...

I will now load you up with pics of our weekend....

even had time for cat naps....

Hey... Rednecks and water DO mix

One Mans Trash

Finally got the ol' man a chair... the best chair you could ask for and my favorite kind...FREE...yep, it was jus sitting along the road with a bunch of other trash begging me to take it home so, I made my sister stop and git it. Luckily, she drove the truck and only bitched constantly somewhat over the embarrassment of diggin' through the trash, not to mention the 'FREE' sign on the chair, that she very quickly (a few miles) made us stop and remove. I listened to all the "oh my gods" and "I can't believes and I'm never taking you with me again" with a big ol' smile on my face cuz, I got me a new chair for the hubs:) We headed home with junk in our trunk and I didn't even stop smiling when the damn thing flew out while driving down the highway, my sister came to a screeching halt, and her embarrassment mounted. I laughed my ass off, while we put our road kill back into the truck, to the audience of hundreds of onlookers zooming by.
Got my big bad boy home to my big bad boy who was very grateful, he went to the hardware and got a bolt and fixed it up for .69 cents ..... I sooo rock. He laughed at my sister too but, with an I'm glad it was you and not me giddiness. He wouldn't have even stopped.
The problem I'm having now is he won't get his ass out of it.... maybe she shouldn't have stopped:(
Oh well now my living room is pretty much done.

I'm all smart nstuff

 What's new you ask? Well I'm a collage girl now, started  in february and I just love it. I'm going to the Academy of art university, doing it online so I can go to class naked in my pj's.
Since then I realized that there are a lot of people out there way dumber then me, this makes me soo happy. It's like when your having a bad day and you just feel so fat and yucky but then this nasty woman (with tight pink pants on that make her ass look like the junk in her trunk caught fire and melted down to her knees along with the rest of her, that you get to also see due to the tight orange belly shirt) cuts you in line at walmart, and as you stare at her with disgust knowing you'd never be caught in public looking like that, you smile and don't feel so fat anymore... okay sorry that took a hole lot longer to explain then I intended. Shoulda jis said no matter how bad you think you got it someone always has it worse. Anyway I really like collage...
I have more good news or rather GREAT news. After thirteen years, we have paid off our house!!!! It is all ours now and it feels wonderful. I'd like to get a big sign that says HOMEOWNER and pin it on me, but that might be too much, so I'll settle for telling everyone I come in contact with and spreading it all over the internet:)
I leave ya now, cuz I'm tired of writin, but someone left a comment and wanted me to take a survey as to why I blog, so I jis thought I'd tell ya...
I blog cuz ain't no one here to listen to my shit. (see how much my grammar has inproved since I started collage:) Yep, I'm all smart nstuff now.

Pussy In Da Pooper

The new year started out with a bang. Yep, "bang" went the water pump when it took a shit on new years eve. We were outta water for six days, had to take showers at my Moms and get drinking water from the neighbors. Also had to get buckets of water to flush the toilet, if you think that sounds gross, try being the one doing it~ reminded me of my childhood. lol~ Not joking
Anyway, had to have the pump rebuilt and got a new tank because a leak was created not from the hubs screaming, cussing and beating the hell out of the old one, no the leak, as the hubs says "just appeared" In the meantime our eight year old, trying to be helpful, nailed a sign to the bathroom door that said
                           "don't flush the toilet and try not to poop"

Shoulda had one of those signs awhile back when we had to get the septic tank pumped.One of my favorite redneck stories called
 "I think my shitter needs pumped" still makes me laugh.
Anyway, we finally got the pump fixed but then the toilet took a crap, lol, and we had to replace the insides of it too.
So, me and the girls went in the other bathroom to clean it out since it has become kind of a storage room since we ran outta money to fix it up. Well, what we found was a wild "kitty" living in there~ Oh yeah. It's been getting in from a hole in the floor, that's there cus we were working on the floor when we ran outta money. Anyway, there must be an opening to the crawl space that we can't seem to find. The girls are very excited and have been feeding it and trying to catch it, so I'm kinda stuck with pussy cat in the pooper. lol
pussy-in-da-poop-er da-da-da-da-da-da
ha-ha-he-he I made a did-dee
okay I quit

"Bullshit"

What to do on a cold winter night? Now get yer minds outta the gutter, there are children here. So, let me rephrase that.
What to do on a cold winter night with kids.
We have been having so much fun with this game called "bullshit" I know it doesn't sound like an appropriate game to play with the youngins, but to ease yer mind, we make them say "bs" instead of bullshit. You just gotta play this game.
First, you get as many players as you want, in my case we have five, then you deal the entire deck of cards (minis the jokers). The object is to get rid of all your cards, but you have to do it in order. So, say I'm first, I have to look in my hand and find all the aces, if I have two of them I lay them down and say "two aces". The next person has to find and lay down two's then the next person lays down three's and so on. You lay down however many of what you need and say how many of what you laid down.
Now, the tricker or the fun part is, if you don't actually have any queens and it's your turn and yer stuck with laying down queens, you can lie and lay down a two, a five and a king or whatever you want, but, lie and say three queens. The next person has the option to believe you or not, and if not then, they say "bullshit" you then have to show them the cards you layed down and if they were right, then you have to pick up all the cards, if you actually put down what you were supposed to and they call "bullshit" then they have to pick up all the cards.
 It's fun~ exspecially when yer playin' with a fifteen year old who has no problems at all lying and a twelve year old who talks quieter and puts her head down, so you know ever time she tries to lie. Not to mention my eight year old who giggles and laughs every time she tries to bullshit anyone, and when no calls "bullshit" on her, she has to sit on her hands just to keep from jumping out of her seat with ha ha he he I lied excitement.  Very funny
Ya, I know, I have no life.

Happy Holidays

Wow, I've been a long time gone~ that's a song btw~
So much has happened don't know where to start.
Thanksgiving was great and I had the opportunity to reaffirm the fact that I'm a pig.
Christmas time is stressful, kids want everything and I don't have a pot to piss in.
Two of my girls want Nintendo DSI's. They have a camera and they hold music and play games. I told all the girls this year will be tight so they could either have one expensive gift or lots of little shit. My middle girl said "Mom, you just get me lots of stuff and I'll ask Santa for the DSI"... she's 12 ~ come on
I haven't got them yet but I will if I can manage to pull the money out my ass.
The oldest wants a pair of UGGs for Christmas. They are boots, very special boots according to her and she just has to have them, because everyone else does. "Okay" I say, till I bout shit when I seen the prices.Who woulda thought that a simple pair of boots could cost $200.00, and what kinda dumb-asses people actually pay it. What are they lined with gold? The only difference I can see from the $15 pair at dollar general is the fact that they say Ugg on the back of them. So after I failed at finding little tags that say UGG, I scoured the Internet and found, not one but two pairs for $65 bucks a piece, brand new, who's the thrifty shopper huh? Still an outrageous sum for a name but, now I can give my twelve year old a pair too, before she starts bitching for um. One step ahead like always that's me. Here's a "LINK" to the page if anyone is interested.
My oldest is finally out of drama class... but only at school, she saves the real drama for Mama. She has been suffering from a long line of diseases, the first of which, fortunately only befalls teen girls, it's called " Bitchitis" and YES, it's contagious~ My 12 yr. old has been showing signs of it too. Hopefully a cure is in the making. I deal with this affliction by holding my breath and counting to 10, sometimes 50.
Another thing on the menu for teens is~ Acne!~ yuk~ we have been trying to cure it with aloe, (the plant) we cut off pieces of the plant and rub it on her face, it's actually working well so far. It's slimy as hell though, and my daughter complains every night~ funny shit. I eventually found aloe gel not as messy and not as funny but she likes it better. And here's that "LINK" (getting good at that huh)
The worst of all the teen epidemics is "BOYS"~ double yuk~ I've changed my mind about fifteen being old enough for a boyfriend. The final straw in changing my mind was the poor tree that, my hysterical, cussing daughter beat to death with a baseball bat. I got there just in time to save the bat. She's sure come along way from that bright eyed sweety who wouldn't hurt a fly, now she wants to kill everything in sight..... All I've seen this year are tears and tantrums. My words of wisdom in these times are buck up, shut up and get over it "aah it'll be okay baby." When does this shit end I ask you? And, no, I don't have a "LINK" for that :(

Happy Holidays

Kitchen Drama

Okay, wow I have been busy. We have finally began the kitchen remodel. Woo ho!!!
It's about done and it only took about a year. We began the demo 6 or seven months ago, tearing out walls (with only minor injuries and lots of laughs). Then we got the sagging floor fixed, which meant tearing out the linoleum and beefing up the floor joises then laying down my new plywood flooring. What a statement right? No rednecks live here!
Then we built us sum new walls. My brother had a friend, with a bad ass fast screw gun, he helped us put new drywall on the ceilings for free. Free is always nice. What wasn't nice is when he got a little screw happy with his cool screw machine and ended up making three big holes in the ceiling not to mention the 500 screws up there that didn't need to be there, that amounted to about 50 extra screws for each beer he guzzled, not bad I guess.... considering..... did I mention he was free. Then after awhile (months) we found a guy willing to do the mudding and taping for only $200.00. That's pretty cheap, the price included the walls and ceiling in the kitchen and the ceiling in the living room and the hall way, plus we only had to pay him $100.00 up front cus he had to go to jail and made us a deal to finish paying him with $20 a week in commissary money.... cool hu and not redneck at all :) He had to go to jail due to being caught with recreational paraphernalia which went a long way in explaining why he took so many recreational trips in our woods.... I just called um 'Breaks'
He even textured the ceiling, which I liked just fine, but there were several lines showing. It was not his fault, he did the best he could with what he had to work with and the short amount of time he had to do it all in before he had to go to jail.
There were a few areas in the kitchen he didn't have time to get to. I was just gonna do them myself, since,I'm pretty handy with a knife. But, I was at work and talkin' to a friend who happens to have a boyfriend who is very handy with a knife and he volunteered to come over and finish it (FOR FREE) wooho. I told him about the few lines that show on the ceiling and he very nicely included fixing that into the price.... wo ho... He came over and fixed everything in three days, he was like magic... like free magic....my walls are so smooth.

The ceilings had to be re-textured after he fixed it and it is now just gorgeous, the texture is like giant flowers.

We primed everything the next day. The paint colors have been chosen for months, green for the kitchen and brown for the living room (my favorite colors). So there I was, giddy with ready to paint excitement. We went to Wal-mart to buy the paint and ended up getting the only paint guy who didn't know fart about paint. He told me to use flat for the kitchen.. dumbass....then he proceeded to f*ck up both colors. I was pissed and seeing red. My oldest though, was seeing something else and whispered that she wished his jeans were tighter...UGH.. leave it to a boy crazy teenager to see the jeans he's wearing and miss the obvious stupid genes he possessed. After about four tries and lots of cussing, we storm out Wal-mart and go home, with my finally right paint.
The feelings I was trying to convey with my paint choices were warm and cozy for the living room, wanna grab a blanket, lay on the couch and cuddle. Bright and cheery for the kitchen, when you walk into the kitchen I wanted to feel a hello day.. good morning, morning kinda feeling. The colors had to blend well together cus the rooms are connected. Well, what I ended up with was a screaming green kitchen that kinda hurt your eyes and a dark gloomy brown that was depressing.
I wanted to cry :(..... We took pictures and the hubs took me to Sermin Williams.... OMG they are great, we went one shade lighter for the kitchen and the paint guy actually knew his ass from a hole in the ground. He also told me how to fix the brown for the living room, he even sold me the paint at the same price I paid for it at Wal-mart.....and.... his jeans were plenty tight :)
We came home and repainted the kitchen and it's beautiful with all the bright and cheery feelings and none of the eye pain.I did keep a little of the first scream green as a couple of stripes to better define the awesome foe wainscoted coat rack I designed, using one by fours and one by twos and some quarter round.---->>>>>>

For the living room I took a gallon of the gloomy brown, poured it into a five gallon bucket and started mixing in white until I had a color I loved. It is now so damn cozy we can't stay off the couch. The colors look great together and I'm very happy with the results.

We hung the new T.V. that's been in the box for five months, the hubs is in hog heaven.

My moms boss gave her a bunch of furniture that he didn't need and we traded her our old t.v. and entertainment center for a very nice sectional. It looks great in the living room, and obviously seats enuff:)

All we need now is a big fat lazy boy chair for my big man to watch his new 50 inch flat screen plasma t.v. on.
I have been having fun redecorating everything and surprisingly I have lots of cool shit that all just kinda goes with everything. We have chosen the flooring we're going to go with, laminate floating hardwood, we have already started saving for it. We should be able to start it about the middle of next month. We're gonna rip out the stinky carpeting sometime this week to get ready for the new floor. We need to figure something out for a backsplash in the kitchen, maybe ceramic tiles mixed with some glass tiles, maybe some foe stainless steel or maybe I'll bust up some pretty plates and make them the back splash, I don't know yet. Everything is coming together finally and it feels great to see progress.
Well, I'll keep you updated, and take lots of pictures.

Anyone have ideas for a cute backsplash let me know.
