17 inches of Freaking Snow

Yep 17 inches of snow is what we lovingly received on Wednesday. Our sidewalk was shoveled a record number of 4 times. 2 of which some enterprising kids in the neighborhood did. J paid them 21 dollars in the late morning to shovel it. I shoveled it after work and the kids came by after the snow stopped and I paid them 10 bucks. They must have wished J was to get another 20. It only took them like 10 min. I didn't even know they did it in the morning until I mentioned to J that some kids shoveled and he said he paid them too. Then the city came through and snowblowed it. It took me about 30 min to drive the 15 miles home from work, the very reason I have a global warming SVU with 4 wheel drive.. Thank god I wasn't one of those stuck south of Madison.

All Hail the New York Giants.

I forgot to mention this on my previous post about the Super Bowl, but the friend whose house we were at had the Madagascar dvd set to this, so every time there was a good play and at the end of the game he went a little crazy playing it over and over again. Apparently others have found the humor in it because I found it on You Tube. I had to share.

All this chiropactor talk

Everyone had been discussing the chiropractor lately. The thought of having my back cracked freaks me out. It also reminds me of my favorite executive transvestite.

What I meant to say.

Zoe told me about this on Swistle's blog: List some things that were left unsaid. "Each one should be directed at someone in particular. You don't say who you're saying each thing to, and you don't give a ton of backstory---you just say it". I see it as a good way to vent. I'll give it a go.

1. If you wanted to get rid of the dog, you should have said something instead of getting rid of it while I was at a birthday party thinking I wouldn't notice.

2. Best friends DO NOT date the ex that you still have feelings for! Wanting to discuss it with me will not make me not want to punch your teeth out. I hope you both had a good laugh at my expense.

3. Calling me a selfish snot doesn't make me want to improve anything, it just makes me hate you.

4. You made me wonder why love had to hurt(mentally). You really broke me.

5. How dare you scream at us, when I went through all the bullshit to join your misogynistic church. You reaffirmed my atheist views.

6. If you would have just shown up all of this could have been avoided.

7. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break your heart. I was afraid of what my friends would thing if they knew I was seeing you seriously. You deserve better, but the jealousy thing needs to be put in check.

8. I wish I wouldn't have been talked into getting you to go with me, especially since I found someone else and would rather not go now.

9. I don't know any thing more moronic as a game plan as "if we have the ball the other team can't score." If we have no offense we can't keep the ball, if we can't keep the ball we can't score.

10. I know the fact that I never got caught breaking the athletic code really pisses you off. It just goes to show girls are smarter than boys. But the fact that your track star reeked of smoke everyday still amuses me. I still like you even though you said I put on drinking weight over the summer. You'll give her female athlete of the year and get your revenge.

11. The reason I never got back to you is I realized how much you used me as a friend over the years and when I put my foot down, you were gone, literally. We had some good times let's leave it at that.

12. I saw your finger marks in my pudding and I've noticed other food gone. If you're going to binge and purge don't use my food. I'm effin poor and have to work in the god forsaken cafeteria on the rich kids side of campus. I also saw you on campus with my favorite sweater. I can't believe you stole it.

Yep some are lame, but a lot of my, you pissed me off stuff, happened in high school. The stuff I want to say to my husband I said then and he's heard them hundred times and it still doesn't get through.

The day after



Well the Super Bowl was actually pretty darn good. I'm glad the Giants won, sorry you Pat fans. I didn't find any of the commercials to be outstanding. I thought the godfather one was stupid as hell. Along with the sales lead ones. Anywhoo Jason got a little loaded, about 120 wings got eaten and the girl played her heart out, yet was not tired enough to sleep the whole night in her own freaking bed. I thought for sure she would be so wiped out and being up until 10pm she would not wake up, but she did at 12:30. Knowing I had to be up around 4:30am made matter worse because I kept waking up and checking the clock. I'm not running on a whole lot of sleep.

We got a new rocking horse for Peanut Butter. Last year they had a silent auction for one and our friend's dad ended getting it for their daughter. He saw that J bid again on one this year and the dad make sure that he won and gave up the horse for J original bid. He figured both the girls(our friend's daughter and PB) should each have one and he felt bad out bidding J last year. But the thing is HUGE. I have no idea where I am going to put it.

Super Bowl Sunday

It’s Super Bowl Sunday. We’re going over to our friends’ house for a party. J bought so much food to bring over there. He always goes overboard and seems to think he’s feeding an army. We’re bringing wings and shrimp, but some how he thought we had to bring a cheese and sausage tray too. Like we’re the only ones bringing something. I thought the wings with the carrots and celery to go with it were enough, but not in his mind. I didn’t pay for it so I guess I don’t have to worry about it. We both have to be at work by 6 am tomorrow which means dropping Peanut Butter off at daycare at 5:30 am. It should be a lot of fun since J will more than likely get loaded today, even though he knows he has to get his ass up. You’re just not cool if you don’t get smashed for the super bowl, like we’re in our early 20’s anymore. It will be mornings like tomorrow I will be so happy I gave up the sauce.


I will basically be watching for the commercials, since I don’t really like the Pats and I don’t think the Giants can win. I don’t want to see Randy Moss get a ring.

Thankfully the house should be somewhat childproofed since they have a 2 year old. It is such a pain in the ass chasing her all day while you’re supposed to be enjoying yourself esp when J thinks watching her for 5 min is a long time. He couldn’t control her at the salon yesterday while the boy got his shaggy look chopped off and that couldn’t have taken more than 20 min. The only real thing I’ll be worried about is her trying to drink everyone’s cans, since she is always after my diet coke. I think our recliner seat is pretty much marinated in the stuff. I know two cans got dumped on it this week. Turn your back for a second and she’s gone.

I'm feeling special

Not only did Zoe give me an excellent blogger award, which I must pass on to Michelle and Driving with the Brakes On, my co-sleeping nightmare pulled my by my shoulder this morning and planted me a big ol' baby kiss on the mouth. Thanks for sharing the love.

J, Miss Peanut Butter, and I went shopping today. And J and I didn't strangle each other. We did buy a new surround system, ours died. I have a feeling I'm not going to be getting much sleep with this one. My husband likes to have the volume on way to loud. And the living room is right below our bedroom. PB was actually pretty good, she usually gets a little feisty after shopping a bit. Maybe it was daddy's charm. I got her hair into pigtails today. They didn't last since I had to put a hat on her. But I did get a photo or 2.
