  • TGIF! Even, when it’s really only Wednesday!

     

    Just a few afterthoughts:

    • Yes, I really did videotape this on Wednesday, pretending like it was Friday and trust me when I tell you [looks into mirror, quickly turns away for fear of turning into stone] it's a good thing.
    • I really do obsess about my hair way too much.
    • Bast should really be a real word.
    • Middle girl's appointment went well-ish.  No emergency procedure necessary.  Being treated for a wicked infection.  Will re-evaluate next step(s) after the holidaze.
    • I really didn't know how yesterday was going to play out.
    • Spent the rest of the day at the mall.
    • My feet STILL hurt.
    • Still, was out at the buttcrack of dawn driving middle girl to school, 30 minutes away.
    • So, vlogging on Wednesday, pretending it was Friday, worked out well (see bullet, above.)
    • Oh, and SO GLAD I didn't take my husband's car:  he got a flat tire on the way to work, this morning.
    • Also, if you're still here, you really do deserve a GREAT weekend…oh, and chocolate…lots and lots of chocolate.
    • Special shout-out and virtual hugs to my friends Patty of A Day in My NYC and Heather!

    Peace out and have a GREAT weekend (for real!)

    Freshly-brewed elsewhere:  I'm donning wings, playing an AT&T phone fairy and giving away a Samsung Focus Flash, this week!

  • Dressing Room Conspiracy (The Vlog)

    Just a few afterthoughts:

    • Yes, my nose is always THAT itchy (I swear!) It is a nose of substance (SNORT!)
    • Turns out, schlub is a real word after all (thought I was being all cleh-vuh, shoulda known beh-tuh, DER!)
    • But, it's not what I meant (less mean like and more Jabba the Hut-ish.)
    • See thumbnail above (seriously?)

    I will post "the dress" my almost-16yo picked for me (it's like this one, only in black/silver) before I go out on Saturday AND once I shave my legs, of course!

  • I’m All #NaBloPoMo’d Out

    So, allow me to present the lamest vlog post….EVUH!!!…consider yourselves warned.

    © 2003 – 2011 This Full House

    I'm NaBloPoMo-ing it, this month (first time NaBloPoMo-er) feel free to check out what I've NaBloPoMo-ed, thus far (PHEW!) and let me know how I'm doing (I mean, 30 posts, in 30 days, really?!?) when you have time, of course!

      Feed me, see more!

  • I Woulda Been BIG-ISH in Silent Films!

    So, we've been without hot water for…ummmmm…what day is it, again? 

    Aaaaanyway, I was tired of feeling all, you know, ummmmm-ish (i.e. a distant relative of the Amish, I think) and stinky (P to the U!) really, I bet yous guys have enough of your own stuff going on, your ownselves, right?!?

    Riiiiight.

    Soooooo, I put on a thick layer of purple eyeliner (actually, it's more plum-ish) fired up Spotify and did some serious desk chair dancing with Prince.

    Or, whatever he's calling himself, these days.

    I don't know which is funnier:  a) the fact the sound is all borked up or b) the fact that the sound is all borked up AND yeah, I still posted it.

    Because, I am ALL about making YOU guys feel a little better about yourselves.

    With love,

    I.M.A. Dork

  • You Say Joisey, I Say What?!?

    Because, I am all about making blogging fun again (shuddup!) my friend NYCPatty posted an Accent Vlog and, well, dang if I can't hear it (her accent, I mean) because we live from across the river (or, the rivuh) from each other, I guess.

    I know, I know, vlogging's not my thing, either.  Still, it's better than another post about mommybloggers going rogue or, the friggin' weather (here, in Jersey) right?

    [cue the crickets]

    Riiiiiight.

    Here's mine:

    Okay, what'dya think; hear anything?

    [someone please shut those crickets up, already]

    Fiiiiiiiiiine.  Fughettaboutit!  Want to play along?

    If you want to follow along or do the Accent Vlog yourself, here are the words/questions:

    Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught

    • What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
    • What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
    • What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
    • What do you call gym shoes?
    • What do you say to address a group of people?
    • What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
    • What do you call your grandparents?
    • What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
    • What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
    • What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

    Personally, I'd love to hear from my Mid-West friends and, most especially, folks from the South, like, oh, I dunno, Nashville, or maybe even as far as Plano, TX, even…YO!

    In the meantime, have a GREAT weekend and if anybody needs me, I'll be upstairs, caulking holes and mopping floors, baby.

    Friggin' rain!

    2/28 UPDATED TO ADD:  Yay for BusyMom, Dawn, Melisa, Heather and Weasel Momma for playing along, with me, too!

    Now, it's your turn — help a dork (like me) make blogging fun, again — go ahead, you know you want to!

  • Secretly, Secret Vlog

    Secretly, Secret Vlog from Liz Thompson on Vimeo.

    This is what happens, when you go to work and one of your kids "accidentally" finds your Flip camera and attempts to video tape one of her sisters "not on purpose," of course!

    [snort]

    Such drama, eh?  Love that she mentions my blog:

    "Do you think I survived, or do you think I died (i.e. she got busted and her sister killed her) leave your answer on ThisFullHouse.com!"

    Can't wait to see what happens during their summer break, if it EVER gets here, I mean!

  • All I Want for Christmas

     

    In case you're wondering whatever happened to Monday Mornings the Doofus-Dawg? 

    He's lost in a pile of laundry. 

    Aaaaanway, I was supposed to start my "real job" today (YAY!) but. they offered to give me an increase to 4 hours, 3 times per week and I took it (more milk money, double-YAY!) but, I don't start until next week (BOO!) and I've got somethin' else to show you.

    [grin]

    So, feel free to grab a cup of cawfee, or whatever, I'll wait!

  • Video Blogging From A Momblogger’s Perspective: Well, yes, thank you and why the hell not!?!?

    My friend, Jenn (you know, Mommy Needs Coffee, she talks funny) asked me if I'd like to join in on a fun project over at TheMotherhood.com and show people just how easy it is to video blog.

    Why?

    Because, I've sort of been playing around with video taping my blog posts, once a week, since October and she knows, if I can do it then…um…well, let's just say that if a spaz like me can figure out how to use a video camera, then everyone's gonna wanna do it, right?

    So, I joined the Sisterhood of the Traveling Flip and started, you know, flipping, unscripted, unrehearsed real life sort of stuff and it was good.

    Until.

    I flipped out and got caught crying in front of the camera.
