Well it is over. They came, they went, and now the house is quiet.
Having the mother in law here was not so bad. Normally people in space get on my nerves in seconds flat...I am not a people person..As everyone knows. But it was not so bad having them here.
They got here Tuesday night, and left early Sunday morning..
I spent all day Wednesday preparing for the dinner, I made my pies ahead of time, because it takes a lot to scrape the flesh off the pumpkins and what not..
Thursday we got up early to get that damn bird in the oven..Everything smelled so good, it was making me crazy..Like i wanted to start stabbing things because i was so hungry. But I did not.
Then it was time to eat, I had 12 people at my table and things were going well.
Then I knocked over a candle and nearly set Pale Girl's lap on fire and spilled her soda on the floor.
Then I was hit with my medical condition and was unable to eat anything at all, which in turn made me wanna stab and kick things.
I will not go into detail, but I have something wrong that makes it hard to swallow at times, and well, it hit me at thanksgiving dinner, and it was a big downer.
I have been unable to eat much of anything last couple days, I am sure its nothing that a doctor can not fix, but why would I do that?
My mother in law kept the dishes clean. That was nice. I think I bore her so much she dirtied dishes on purpose just to have something to do.
And that was ok with me.
We sat around playing cards and drinkin some hard stuff...ya no, that is what keeps family together..
Liquor.
Oh I had to join my local gym here in town..
No No, my treadmill is still alive and well...its just my doctor told me that with the way my remaining sliver of thyroid was running..(which its not I guess) and since I refuse to take pills, I need to burn an EXTRA 800 calories per day...yes, I said per day, in order to maintain the weight I am at...and an extra 1200 in order to lose any.
This is on top of the hour I spend on the treadmill a day as well as working with my weights.
So, in the mornings I will be hitting the gym for two hours, then again after supper time. Since its open 24 hours a day, I can go up at 2am if I so please.
or I could just have the rest of my cancerous thyroid taken out and take my pills, and I would not have to resort to such measures.
But I do not like pills, or having my throat cut open. because trust me, that is no fun at all..
I have decided I am going to take a snow removal job somewhere in Siberia. I can not drive a stick, or drive well in slippery conditions, and do not know how to plow anything, but hell, they offered...its not like Siberia is that far away or anything.
I know that was just a random thing, I am sorry...
My mind has been wandering a lot lately too...
I think I may have done something really stupid....but I said that before and it turned out ok.
But really, you need to think things thru before you do such acts.
Ok I know...random again.
I told you, my mind has been wandering lately. I am like a two year old..shiny objects distract me.
My turkey looked good though..
Can you believe I did not take one photo over the long holiday weekend?
Told ya, my mind has been in other places, and it needs to come back home.
I started getting some Christmas things out, but I swear it feels like i just put them away..
I was going to get our tree, but decided we would do it next weekend because I can only handle one holiday per week.
And frankly, I hate messing up the house with trees and shit...I do not like messes or having things out of place, it kinda makes me crazy.
Just like I can not have a dirty dish in my sink...or all hell breaks loose.
If you put one fork in there, I will come right behind you and wash that bastard so fast you do not even remember what you used that fork for.
I'm just sayin..
And putting a tree inside my house just causes me to have heart palpitations and sweaty palms..
Not to mention the glass ornaments, the decorations placed about...
I just can not handle it...Not this early.
I think the day before Christmas is ok...as long as you take it right down after the shit is all opened.
So to sum up the last couple days...
the MIL came, i baked shit, my turkey looked handsome enough to eat, I could not swallow and was unable to partake in anything, I had to join the gym because my body hates and wants me to die, I hate putting trees in my house and I hate dirty dishes.
Yup, that covers it..
Oh and I have had some really bad gas cramps too...went thru a whole box of gas-x in the last 3 days.
Just thought you would like to know.

Crappy Holidays!
I am hoping the Lepps plan a better tour next year, or there will be a strongly worded letter written.
I am also thankful I was able to hang out with some old friends over the summer back in the homeland, as I am not sure I am making it at all this year, I will have to just look back fondly on the time I had..


I guess I am thankful for a lot of things....
but mostly, im thankful I have went another year without dying, cause you really never know when that might happen, and really, there is still another full month Left and I may have spoken to soon...
I never thought about that...shit...
Anyway, I hope all of you who come here and read, whether you have ever left a comment or not, whether this is your 1,000 time here or your first..
Have a Merry Thanksgiving and Happy over-eating.
so from my dysfunctional family to yours...
Happy eatin..

dont worry, B happy
Do you ever notice people's teeth? I am a self proclaimed tooth looker. I always think there is no reason why a kid has more silver in their mouth then I have in my pocket, and I also do not understand why so many adults have snagle teeth..
There is this one woman that works at a place i go to once in a while, and she has the most hideous teeth..some are missing and the ones she has are blackened like cat fish.
But the other day when I ran into to her, I noticed something different about her..low and behold, she had dentures..
It sorta looked like she had horse teeth...like her teeth were too big for her mouth..
I swore it was Mr Ed, only he is slightly better looking.
Then I have to wonder, does she realize she looks like she has horse teeth?
I bet she thinks she looks all swanky and cool kinda like this.
When in reality she looks more like this.
*
*
*
*
I sorta feel bad for her because she looks way worse now..
I kinda miss the snaggle teeth, because frankly the horse teeth scare the shit outta me.
~
Yesterday I was thinking about my driving trek out west this past summer, when I tried listening to my Jimmy Buffet CD and wondered why the damn thing wouldn't work, then I realized it was a DVD, not a CD...
and I just giggled..out loud.
to myself..
Then I thought about me driving in Amarillo Texas and getting a tad lost and ended up going down a very busy one way street.
The wrong way.
And I giggled again.
Then I thought about the time my friend and I went to the Mexican restaurant last month and having the lady tell us her cooks were deported so she wasn't serving food that day..
that made me giggle too..
because seriously, who shuts down a restaurant because the cook was deported?
i mean holy crap.
Only in this town people, only in this town.
When u go to bed at night, you can thank your lucky stars you don't live here..
The folks in this town just keep getting better and better...
Gawd I cant wait to move...
The horse teeth, the deported cooks, the meth dealers..( we have a drug treatment center JUST for kids, ages 11-18)...I worked at it briefly, but it was way too damn depressing..
I guess I did too much thinking today..
and too much giggling, i think i wet myself.
~
Here is some more Aussie slang for you people wanting to learn more..
A Bastard is a term of endearment..
Chunder means to vomit...so when u are full as a boot and ready to chunder..
that means you drank to much and are puking.
Have a naughty, means making whoppie..
Old fella, well sorry boys but thats a penis.
Piss...as in.."im gonna hit the piss"
that means your going to go drink beer, piss is beer.
So there is your lesson for today..
G'day

its a mistake
When I was a younger gal I did some questionable things. Hell, even as an older gal I still find myself doing questionable things. And I admit it.
Back in the day for a good time and a hell of a laugh, some friends of mine and I would go out to say a club and have fun with people...
wanna know what kinda fun?
We would go in a talk with accents, pretending we were from across the pond..
My one pal was always British...She could nail a British accent bloody damn well..
My other pal, she could nail an Irish one like no body's business, like you would swear she was part leprechaun...
My accent, well...I mastered this at an early age, because my favorite movie as a older kid was Crocodile Dundee..So it only seemed natural for me to embrace my inner wallaby.
and I was killer...I mean dead on. I once ran into someone from down under whilst pretending to be down under myself.
If you know some of the terminology of the outback, your going to be ok..
This was the first line I said to the gentleman when I found out he was from Aussie..
between you and I, most of these Americans have a kangaroo lose in the top padlock.
yeah, he got a good chuckle out of that.
Then I would say things like..
you seem like a real ridgy didge.
He nodded and thanked , me.
See when you go out with your fake accents, you need to be brushed up on the land your pretending to reside from.
You need to know the lay of the land, the common talk, and slang..
To master these things takes some skill, and some real dedication. Its not for just anyone.
Then the man said to me..
your just a wonder, a true fair suck of the sav.
to which I said..
aww, good onya.
Truly if u want to learn about a land or culture. You need to live it, breathe it and no the currancy.
Get a book, read it, brush up on the accent, and your good to go.
But don't go mixing slang...cause that will not roll..
You can not for example tell someone your from say Britain, and then not speak the proper slang.
You should try and throw in things about tea and biscuits, call your friends your "mates" and call your house or apartment your flat. And make some comment about teeth.
Always remember too, when your taking about a vacation or having time off from work, its called goin on holiday.
If u slip and say your going on a vacation, you might just as well pack up and go to another bar, because your just freakin blew it dumb ass.
You need to be smart...you can not go blowing it for all us people who work hard at trying to be all cultured and shit
I recommend everyone doing this at least once, but I highly suggestion you don't do it in your hometown. Venture out of bounds a bit, where you don't know anyone.
See if you can be in character all night long..It takes a lot of know how, and dedication. And if your drinking, it poses a greater risk. But for some, including me, its easier, because I get more loose and free with my words and my accent just gets better with every sip.
I have not done this for several years, well frankly because I don't know anyone who is capable of pulling off such a stunt here. It takes a special kinda person to be able to not foil up the whole event.
This is the type of thing you can not just let anyone do with you. They need to be trained. They need to go thru a rigorous training system. It could take years before they are fully able to execute a proper faking.
Some of you might want to start out small, and just start with Canada before you try and do bigger things. Start out small and easy, then work your way up to a tougher accent..kinda like learning a new skill, you start out slow, u can not expect to perfect anything over night.
I do miss those days...
I think I am going to start referring to all my pals as blokes.
I rather like that term, and not enough people use it..
We all need to start using it. Right now, turn to the closest person to you and say this..
how was your weekend? My blokes and I went out this weekend and we got full as a boot and ended up tippin over a dunny.
You may get fired if the person next to you is like your boss, but live and learn.
I think we could all use a good geography lesson.
Try it..its good fun, I'm tellin ya.
Good'day blokes.

dont need nothin' but a good time
Picture this. I am in a class filled with third graders. I have a third grader, so this is not odd, really its not..
This place where we are will come in effect here in a moment. Because what happen in this room not only will haunt me till I die, but is going to live down in history, kinda like Rudolph and what nots.
So here I am, in this room with about 15 third graders, as well as at least one parent per each child.
So this is a lot of people..
I normally set my phone on vibrate whilst in a group of people, because that's just how I roll...Even when I was in a room with Bill Clinton with 5,000 other people, I still had it set to vibrate..
plus i liked feeling the vibration whilst being within good groping distance from him..
I'm just saying.
So, I am in a room with third graders and their parents..and I am there with my third grader.
Them BAM, it happened.
My phone went off.
Loudly.
Now I have a different song for each person who calls me..
Now why could it of not been my mom calling, because her song is "faith" by George Micheal, because she hates him...I tend to do things like that.
that is a nice song, a soft song...
Or hell, even my default song woulda been better then what transpired.
"fat bottom girls" by Queen...a good wholesome song..
well, kinda...
But instead of those, this is what BLARED in a room with third graders and parents..
" I'm a bitch, i"m a bitch, oh the bitch is back, stone cold sober as a matter a fact, I can bitch, I can bitch cause I'm better then you, its the way that I move, and the things that I do..ohh-ohh-ohh"
Yes, Elton John The Bitch is Back..
Then, my phone is buried somewhere in my purse and I can not find it, so it plays over and over and over and over and over and over..
u get the idea...
So this played while I am in a room with third graders...
Want to know what third graders get..
there first Bible..
so this was at the class where the third graders learn about their new Bibles.
And I soiled the experience with The Bitch is Back..
The pastor says..
wow, i love Elton john too...
Thats me, just keepin it real in the House of the Lord.

sunspot baby
My mom has not even officially moved in yet, and I think I have a raging bleeding ulcer..
I mean raging.
I have been spending the last couple days bagging up up shit to get rid of, and trying to get things in order for her to move in this weekend.
Its too bad you cant do with parents like you do for a stray animal. Take it to the shelter an let them find it a good home.
I have already done more for this woman in the last 15 years then any kid should be asked...And she isn't even in diapers yet..
She has lived with us, I have supported her, I have driven her around for 2 years because she was unable to drive, I have helped her move, put deposits on places, bought her furniture..u name it, I have done it already.
Its like she is totally spoiling her golden years...Because by the time she is senile, I will be so sick of doing this shit, I will take her to the shelter.
Over the last 15 years she done some pretty awful things to me. I will not go into any detail or anything, but there use to be plenty of drama surrounding her..
I need a drink just thinking about it.
~
Remember during the summer when I was in the homeland and my poor dad crashed into the back of my hot mom wheels?
I mean my mini van.
Well when I left he told me to go get an estimate and he would have it fixed..I have not done that yet.
Mainly because well, its my dad...and well, I don't want his insurance to go up, or have to fork out money..or whatever..
The bitch is startin to rust where it was smashed..
And there is not an auto body in town I trust...they all seem like douche bags..
But everyone here seems like a douche bag to me...
I may just have to drive it to Lincoln, NB and have Cliff son Dan fix it..
He doesn't seem like a douche bag...plus he is cute..and he owns a collision shop.
Can u fit me in?
Now mind u, if my father in law woulda been the one to ram my car, THAT fuckin day I woulda called the police, said a fat bastard hit my car, just plowed his huge back end right up in my ass...repeatedly...oh and he gave me the finger..
And I would of made him fix that shit before I left the state...and I mighta even sued him for damages.
What damages?
Just knowing him...thats damage enough..
He doesn't send my kids real gifts for holidays or birthdays anyway, so its not like I would be taking away from his grand kid fund.
He sends them worthless savings bonds...
Ya no, savings bonds my kids received when they were babies, and are suppose to be mature in 7 years...I have taken to the bank to put into CD's..
Then I have the teller tell me this worthless 50 dollar savings bond aint even worth the 25 bucks an asshat woulda spent on it.
Now I don't have an issue with savings bonds per say..but when its your only token of love to your grand kid..kinda makes u look like a douche bag.
The children know you have put absolutely no thought into a gift for them..
So therefore, I would milk him for all he aint worth just for hitting my car ever so slightly.
Cause that's how I roll.
~
The other night I watched this movie on HBO, it was called fast food nation.
holy mother of God.
it was very disturbing...I mean it takes a lot to disturb me.
The last ten minutes they showed actual slaughter of cows...
I totally didn't see that coming..I was caught off guard.
Now I know people make a living killing and slaughtering animals so we can eat them.
But its something I do not need to be seeing...
I mean they showed them skinning it, slitting its throat, gutting it...
and at the end they showed a bucket full of cow heads missing skin and and muscles, with its eyeballs staring up at you.
They need to put a fuckin disclaimer on that shit...before they started the cattle prodding and throat slitting, they shoulda said..
all u peeps who might find the slaughter of a cow a tad disturbing, go take a crap, by the time u are done, we should be done killing stuffff.
but they didn't..
and I saw it..
And I was in such shock, I couldn't even move to turn the channel..I was frozen.
So next time, you film makers with the fucked up minds...warn a girl next time u start butchering shit..mmmkay?

papa was a rolling stone
So, lets see...
There has been a turn of events here in my dwelling. Something I did not see coming. Something that I was not prepared for.
It hit me like 14 tons of mother loving bricks.
Maybe 15.
I am not a planner by any means, but I don't like sneak attacks either, cause I'm not prepared.
That's why I could never be a combat officer in the front line of duty, cause I would be dead.
If I don't see it coming, I'm splat dead..
splat.dead.
And I don't wanna be dead...not yet..
I know my time is coming, its not that I think I'm some wizard of immortal power..
God I wish...being a wizard would totally kick ass...and I woulda seen this shit coming.
I mean I have enough shit I'm dealing with, like trying to figure out how I'm gonna buy Halloween candy for the neighborhood hoodlums...I was going to hand out my TUMS and tell the tots they were sweet tarts, but I ate them all over the weekend.
every last one...
Thats the kinda stress I'm dealing with here...
I even ate a whole bag of licorice on Saturday...
A whole bag!
It seems my mother has hit some financial hardship..and guess what.
She is moving in with us.
Now she has lived with us before and it always ended very very very very very very very badly.
I mean, I was thinking of cleaning out my shed and throwing a cot in there and a couple flash lights..And a nice thick pieced together blanket...so her toes would stay warm...but the hubs said that would not be proper living conditions.
Now I have been reading and seeing on the news that this is a popular trend taking place in todays world.
Parents are moving in with their children because they are having trouble making it on their own.
Just like in the Great Depression when many generations lived together in family compounds...and they baked together, sewed buttons on britches, had hot pots of gruel on the stove top, and darned socks...
Thats gonna be me.
I called my dad to let him know there would be no room for him at the inn now...so he needs to call his other daughter if times get rough for him and the Mrs.
I know I complain about money, because well, everyone is having hard times...and really, I don't have it nearly as rough as some people do..I'm just spoiled and when I cant have my luxuries, I get pissed...
But now dear ole mom is coming to stay...I am not sure for how long...I'm hoping no more then a year...
Its not like I am giving her a deadline...
I wish I could...cause I kinda have a bad feeling about this.
I am not a people person and I do not play well with others.
And she knows this.
I am very temperamental and stuff tends to piss me off very quickly.
I'm sure u have not noticed that shit..
Anyway, this is going to cause me great deals of stress...So if at times I vent and use more four letter words then I normally do, I am apologizing now in advance.
cause there will be no apologize when it happens, thats not how I roll..
And I hope this living arrangement does not leave me as a victim, nor the defendant on a case Nancy Grace will be working on..
I'm just sayin...
And to boost your mood after bringing you down..
oh wait, your not down? its just me?
Here is a pic of what my son will look when he is an old man...
All you people with daughters his age, come have them take a gander ...
enjoy tweens....
