Hints

I am so happy that more than 2 of you are guessing on the contest picture! How exciting!
Unfortunately, you guys are way off. Well, all but one of you is. One answer almost hits the nail on the head but not quite.
Here are some hints:

• Picture was taken inside my house by me.
• I was drunk.

Good luck! Contest will end soon!

Ah screw it

Here are the WOM selections for August and September (husband has yet to download my ultra cool pictures from the camera to the computer and I'm afraid if I wait any longer I'll completely space which one's I want to talk about and have a 2 year old esk melt down)(why don't I just download them myself you ask? because husband is a computer engineer and I would undoubtedly screw something up if I tried it myself):
Smoking Loon. It is deeeeeelious. We had an endless supply up at our Madden's weekend vacation. I had the Merlot (weird, I know but it was good) and the Chardonnay. Worried that this brand was exclusive to the resort, we stocked up while we were there thinking that 12 bucks wasn't so bad for yummy wine. Well low and behold the next time I was cruising around Sam's Club I found they had it there. For 6 bucks. *sigh*
I know we are already into October (what the fuck) so I try and be more on the ball with these things.
Drink up sisters.
Chow!

Clues you have been sitting in front of your computer too long

Your wine glass is empty.

& your butt is throbbing, and not in a good way.

The End.

Ahhhhhhhh

Husband and I just got back from a fantastic weekend at Madden's (courtesy of husbands work). It was so great, really, I'm talking like break-thru type happiness here.

Check out the website for now.

I will be posting pictures later tonight, I can't wait for you to see them.

Did you know...?

Hi Friends of Paper Castles,
So apparently there are a few things going on in this world that everyone but me seemingly knows about. I really think for a good portion of my time here on earth has been spent living under a very large and dark rock. Or maybe I space out so much, that I just miss these tidbits of wisdom. Whatever the case, I will share with you a few things that were truly amazing to me when I found out, so much that I shared the news, only then to feel like a complete dope because I got the now customary 'ummmm yea....didn't you know that?' comment.

For 31 years, I was unaware of these truths:

• You can eat dandelions. Yea, believe me it's true. You can just pluck those little buggers right out of the ground and start chomping away like a goat. Amazing, no? And you know what else? You can make wine out of them. The recipe isn't even that difficult. If husband wasn't so meticulous about our yard looking pretty, I would do it, but I can't because even if one thinks about sprouting in our yard, it is properly disposed of before I can get to it.
• There is some strange phenom going on with Dust Off and teenagers. It really is the oddest thing I've ever seen. Kids are sucking in the frozen air from Dust Off keyboard/car cleaner and getting high for a few minutes. Off of office supplies. It is such a huge deal, that they even have a little picture on the can with a circle slash thru it of some person with the can up to his mouth. I asked a couple of people at work if they've ever heard of it, and guess what, they have!!! WTF? Why don't they just muster up ten bucks and buy a dime bag like I did...oops...I mean...drugs are bad.
• Only ducks that are female are called Ducks. The male species has a different name.
• Marriage is hard. How come nobody admits/tells you this? Or maybe they have, and I just filtered it out because I wasn't. Whew! Let me tell you now, it's very challenging!
• If you eat a lot of junk food, you get chubby. I'm guessing there are some people that know this, but it never happened to me, so I never cared. Guess I should have paid more attention.

Hopefully these nuggets of knowledge will save you from an awkward moment or two.

Bless you and the horse you rode in on.

You really want me to think that much about you?

Hi Readers,
Now, I rarely go into stores. Really, my interaction with retail personal is minimal. I go into name brand stores, like, NEVER. I go grocery shopping every Sunday 'cause I have to, but intensively and stalkingly, I go to the 'older' looking Mom like cashiers every time because they have never failed to bother me less than the teeny bopper 'can I offer you an additional 10% off your T**get purchase' scpell that I know they are being forced to say by their head phone wearing managers. When I go clothes shopping, it's almost always on-line, because I'm so famous, I don't want to be plagued by fans. Everything else is fair game.
Note today's trip to the liquor store. I went to the local store to get my customary bottle and proceed to the checkout. The lady in front of me LITERALLY has every content of her purse littered out on the counter top, why I'm not sure, but she does. So the cashier lady rings her up, and by this time I know her drivers licence number, her address, what lipstick shade she wears, her stinky choice in purfume and the fact that she is the only person left on the face of this planet that writes a check. She sees me and moves her PILE over to make room for my wine. The cashier (who knows me and rolls her eyes) tries to ring me up but cannot because Sharie Mc Sharey-ton is busy putting her life back together in front of us. Ten minutes later, I'm out the door and new with the knowledge of some weird-o's info.
Hrmpf! Get a grip ladies! Not everyone wants to see your insides!
On an unrelated note, this is the song I'm listening to right now.
