Slang Gang Word of the Day

November 21: PED XING

A wealthy Chinese philanthropist who paid large sums of money in order to have his name plastered everywhere, so that people would remember who he was.

"Look there's another Ped Xing sign"
"Oh that Ped Xing, how we'll remember him"

**I laughed outloud at this one.**

Funny Bone Friday - Things I may have heard, or said, or just thought in my head

"Let's not judge each other on our beverage choices."

"The BABY ate your DINGO!"

"Quit your clickin"

"I'm a THESPIAN, and that's NOT lesbian with a lisp"

"It's not us, it's you."

"Everyone's pitchin a tent."

"That is a speedo. That man has to be 60 something. Think Mr Burns. Ewwwwwwww."

"You know why I say tough tits mom? So I'll refrain from using the kind language that you've set as an example for me."

Thankful Thursday - Part II

I am thankful that when my favorite 7 year old draws a special picture for me, she draws me standing OUTSIDE of the rain.

I look at this picture on my fridge and see myself in the middle of every day life. It is raining and gloomy on one side or it is sunny with beautiful flowers on the other.

Which way do I choose to look?

Thanks Ava for the beautiful picture. You had no idea how profound it would end up being did you?

Thankful Thursday

Today I am super thankful for blog give away's and that sometimes I come out a weiner! I mean WINNER!

So..... a while ago, I won a fun little give away on Sarah's blog. We've been talking back and forth about how I was going to get the goods. We live close enough to make a lunch date out of it, so we were arranging schedules.

Well, my friends, today was the DAY!

We met at one of my favorite eateries. Luckily, The Shark was available as was Miss Mart, so we made it a lil 'ole bloggy lunch!

Sarah is fun, smart and easy to talk to! I am amazed at her strength and her honesty with life. She definitely puts me to shame with her attitude!

I don't know about the other girls, but I had a great time! All too soon, it was time to get back to work. Shark took off before we got pictures (lame).

And my prizes?That would be The Cake Wrecks book, which we have been giggling over all night, a beautiful necklace with matching earrings (remind me Sarah where those came from so I can give them a shout out), a gift card to Target, but most prized is the picture of the Logan temple. Sarah's husband is an up and coming photographer, and I asked them to just choose me one of his photo's. She came armed with several for me to choose from, and while I finally narrowed it down to two, I settled on this beautiful one. I can't wait to get it matted, framed and hung.
I.WON.BIG!

Thank you Sarah for making the trip south, and for a wonderful chat. You are a darling that I can't wait to get to know even better.
Thanks Shark and Mart for coming along and making it a fun bloggy affair! You girls are all so funny and delightful! It was a welcome respite from the my day gig in hell.

November 17: Palintologist

Dude1: You'll remember Dan Quayle once said "I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican."

Dude2: Remember Dan Quayle quotes? Dude what do I look like a Palintologist?

**Is this any kind of reference to Sarah Palin by chance? Mmmmmm......**



November 18: darth breather

Adj. a person who breathes so loud, and sounds like Darth Vader while breathing, especially in quiet places.

Michael: Man! I couldn't complete my exam yesterday.
Jeffrey: Why? Was it that hard?
Michael: No, but there was a darth breather behind me.

**Could also be applied to people who make a LOT of noise when they are asleep. You know, THOSE people.**



November 19: expiration chug

when someone drinks milk very quickly on the day of the expiration date

Person a: what happened to that gallon of milk in the refrigerator?

Person b: Oh, I gave it an expiration chug, so it wouldn't go bad.

Person a: Good thinking!

**Prolly has happened at my house, however, I wouldn't know since I don't drink milk. But it's a dang good idea**



No go to. I have armed you with some hip, happening slang words. Implement them in your daily lives.

An Open letter to the Grim Reaper

Dear Mr. Grim Reaper,
So far this year you have taken away my favorite actor Patrick Swayze, and favorite actress Farrah Fawcett.
Just so you know, my favorite politician is Barack Obama.

Thank you,
M-Cat

**Thanks for the funny today CA**

Wednesday Wrandom Wrambling's

I feel very out of touch with the blogging world. Overwhelmed at work and exhausted at nighttime leaves very little time. I am afraid to open my reader. Very.afraid. But I still love all of my bloggy friends and the blogs that I secretly stalk, I just can't get to my reader. I feel kind left out of the circle. No cool kids table in the lunchroom for me right now.

I like to make sure that my ground beef (when I am cooking it), is chopped into tiny, tiny, tiny bits. I CAN.NOT stand big hunks of ground beef in anything. Gross.

Jordan is a little human. Don't judge. She likes spooning. At nighttime she will paw at me gently so I will lift the covers. She snuggles underneath and since I sleep on my side, she wriggles her little back right next to mine. If she gets too hot, she creeps up until just her head is out of the covers. Crap, I love that dog!

For some reason I can't open my eyes all the way today. They burn. I've been dumping tears in them but I think they are just tired.

GNO tonight. I hope I can stay awake. I'll never get asked out on a GNO date ever again if I don't. Keep your fingers crossed.

I've got some pretty political rants coming up. Stay tuned. I am certainly fired up about a few things.

I shave my legs every single day. People are surprised by this. I don't understand. Why wouldn't you?

In fact, I have a very set shower routine and do NOT vary from it ever. If I do, I am out of sorts for the whole rest of the day.

I think I might be a tich compulsive about a few things.

I am okay with that. I wish I were more compulsive about a lot of more things.

It's hard not lifting anything. I forget. My back feel pretty good so I forget that I should take it easy.

On the other hand, there are still weird things with my leg. I am seriously considering a Chinese acupuncturist. For reals. And I don't even believe in them.

I need to start getting Elder L's room ready. Anyone interested in a pretty nice beginner's drum set? It's going on KSL - THIS WEEKEND! If it kills me, I mean Splenda!

That reminds me, we owe Elder L TWO Christmas's with this third one all together. I guess that foils my plan of quitting my job. Crap.

I have a great pot of corn chowder on the stove for dinner tonight. It smells delish! Too bad I'm not having any of it. I'm having popcorn for dinner!! Yippee! That's the price you pay to go to the movies and have the great movie theater popcorn.

Man, I hope I can stay awake.......
