This is me snuggled up next to Scott, aren't we so CUTE TOGETHER??
Ruby's current favorite 'before bed' read is:
Room On The Broom by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
It's funny, most books she just wants me to flip through the pages for her & will almost never sit for the whole story... but this book? NO WAY! SHE SITS STILL THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THIS BAD BOY WITHOUT FAIL EVERY NIGHT! And the best part? The BOON at the end! *grin* (That's Moon for you non Ruby speaking folk...) hehehehe
I don't know what it is about this book, but my girl LOVES IT, and it's really a cute story too... not to mention that I do all the voices & have a fun routine when reading it, that never hurts. ;)
"My boyfriend Scott & I had plans of curling up on the
couch every
tuesday night to tune in, but then last night- Nothing. It's sad that
there was no warning, no reasoning why, just pulled hard & fast, like
an infected tooth. It's sad really, because not only did we enjoy the
show, but it was our time. Our time to snuggle, to watch these women,
trophy wives they may be, but still REAL to the core. Under the botox
and lack of actually reading the books they selected, were real issues
unfolding & tears shed for things that no drug or fancy car can fix. I
agree that it wasn't properly showcased beforehand. I never even heard
of it until I think the night before the show, so I TiVo'd it, what
could it hurt, if it sucked, I cancel the recording... but it was
interesting and we both enjoyed it. I very much would like to see the
remaining eppisodes aired, if not on tuesday nights, maybe on a 'not
so must see' night just for those of us who WANT to SEE WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT! I think I speak for that small percentage of people who tuned
in... please let us finish what we started... otherwise it's all too
reminicent of my childhood & the neighborhood 'indian giver' kid who
I still loathe to this day. Don't be that kid CBS... "
And there's nothing better than FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER when cooking!
Ok, so if you're anything like me, you can't even REMEMBER the last time you actually WENT OUT to a movie theater to see a movie... right? I mean, I'm a Mom now, I have more things to do than I can possibly shake a stick at and let's be honest, when it's a 'good day' if I've managed to squeeze in a shower, well, going to the movies just doesn't rate up there in the grand scheme of things.
So, what do I do you ask? Well, I either rent them, wait till their out on HBO/SHOWTIME OR Buy the DVD!
That said, I just received in the mail today one of my alltime favorite movies:
"So I Married An Axe Murderer"
I'll get more into my literal 'Top Ten' of Movies later but for now, let's just enjoy the SERIOUSLY FUNNY COMEDY OF MIKE MYERS & his CAST OF UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS!
Seriously, go pop yourself some popcorn & slip this little number into your DVD player & you've got yourself a PARTY! (just try not to snarf your beverage everywhere when you hear... HEED! PANTS! NOW!)

Dear Kotex:
I recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a bunch of Kotex Tips for Life" on it.
Annoying advice such as:
a.. Staying active during your period can relieve cramps.
b.. Avoiding caffeine may help reduce cramps and headaches.
c.. Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day to keep you hydrated and feeling fresh.
d.. Try Kotex blah blah blah other products...Obviously the individual behind this was someone who has never possessed a functioning set of ovaries. Go ahead and tell a menstruating woman that drinking 6-8 glasses of water will help keep her feeling fresh. Like we need more fluid inside our bloated bodies from hell...but go ahead. See what happens and report back. I'll wait.
While you're at it, dump out the coffee at work and remove the chocolate from the vending machine. I garan-friggin-tee that the first responders will be females who just ovulated. This advice was some brain function of a male.... right???
Staying active will relieve headaches & cramps...well guess what , the only activity that interests me is eating...and oh...does ripping someone's head off count as a friggin activity?????
Look, females don't need or want tips for living on feminine hygiene products. Younger girls are already hearing "helpful" crap like that from their elderly relatives. Veteran females have already concocted their own recipes of survival, many containing alcohol.
Printing out shit advice while sneaking in ads for the brand that was already purchased is just plain annoying, not to mention rude, and enough to send a girl running to the Always brand.
Mostly we'd like to forget that we even need these products. It's not a fun time, but DO NOT try to cheer us up by adding smiley faces or bunnies or flowery cutesy crap to your products or the packaging. Put the shit in a plain brown wrapper so we can throw it in our cartsdiscreetly and have it blend in among the wine and beer.
There is nothing more annoying than having a blinding pink package announcing your uterine state to everyone in the store. Why don't ya just add an in store microphone to the damn package & announce that...helloooo, another female is on her damn period!!!!!
So take your tips for living and your cute bunnies & the smiley faces that needs to be smacked hard, and shove them right up your ass.
Ovarily Yours,
Miss PMS
