Busy As Hell!

Work has been really crazy and I've been busy as hell.  I am ashamed that I haven't blogged in two days (I skipped Friday and Monday) but I'm here now!!  I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm trying to keep my J.O.B (you can read about that here and here) and that is why blogging has gotten put on standby for the past couple of days.  I'm working really hard.  NOBODY is going to come into my cubicle and think I haven't been keeping busy!  Now if I can just get some of these lame people approved for the Visa's I'm trying to sell them, I'd be doing great!  LOL.  It's a hard job but I'm doing it!  I hope I can get this post finished before all hell breaks loose again!


Who wants a Visa credit card?!  I'm your woman!!!  :)  (That is unless your credit blows....)

Okay, now back to what's really important:

ME!  (LOL)

Saturday morning, I got my nails redone (yes, again).

I like how i used Supa's arm as the background for my nail photo this week.  LOL
 Black with silver lines!  Pretty!!  :) 

Supa was off on Saturday (miracle) and we had plenty of errands to run.  We went to: 
Walmart, Dollar Tree, Walgreen's, Aldi, Bilo and Food Lion.  Whew!  The kids opted to stay home of course.  When we were finished putting away all the crap we bought, it was time for some fun!

We decided to take the kids bowling.  We hadn't been in a while and it's something fun we can do together and actually interact with each other.  We had an absolute blast!  THIS time I remembered my camera!  WOOT!

I liked this picture.  Dazzle is about to roll her ball and Neon was standing in the perfect position for optimal identity secrecy!  Good job, Neon!!!

Neon's turn to bowl!  I love his little khaki cut off shorts!  :)

I love our ball/color variety! 

The results from game #1.  Look who won!!!  YAY! 

WHAT WHAT?!  Apple won again!!! 

I'm not sure how I beat my husband twice but I sure did!  Dazzle said we had to play a second game so she could beat me.  Muahahahaha!!  Not this time little Dazzle!!  :)

After we were all bowled out, we went to Harbor Inn Seafood for dinner.  YUM!  Dazzle and I shared broiled flounder and shrimp (golly those shrimp were huge!), salad and hush puffies (No, that's not a typo.  Dazzle has called hush puppies, hush puffies since she was a baby so that's what we call them now!)  Neon had a cheeseburger (his favorite) and Supa had the fried seafood platter -  Not good for you but looked really good on his plate.

Lolly and Camo man were at the zoo on Saturday and I received this picture from Camo Man's cell phone:
What the hell is that chick wearing?!  That is a tiny, orange and yellow striped jumpsuit if I ever seen one!!
I asked Lolly if she was a dancer because normal people just don't dress like that.  LOL.  She wasn't sure WHAT she was besides tacky.  :O

Sunday morning, I got up at the crack of dawn (6 AM, LOL) to cut our grass.  I get all dressed in my exercise outfit, pile on the sunscreen, get my iPod shuffle ready, go outside and attempt to start the lawn mower.  (At this point, the rest of my family are still in bed.  Supa had to go to work for 8AM so he was still asleep) 

I pulled the cord....Nothing.

I pulled the cord again....Nothing. 

I fucking pulled the cord again....Not a thing.

I get really pissed and pull the god damn cord AGAIN....And the cord popped right off in my hand.

NOW WHAT THE FUCK?! 

I haven't been having very much luck with lawn mowers lately.  Remember this?

I was absolutely determined that I didn't need my husband to help me!  I went straight into the house, got the screwdriver that I barely know how to use properly and took the top cover of the lawnmower off so I could have a look see.  (I just knew I was going to "fix" the issue and cut my damn grass!) 

Once I got the cover off, I had no idea what to do next.  There were too many things under there and it looked SOOOO confusing.  I gave up before I even started.  I mean, I didn't have a new cord to replace the busted one with anyhow so I'm not sure what I was thinking besides being my very stubborn self and pretending I'm Super Mower Woman.  I promptly put the cover back on the mower.


This is me!!  :)  But not when it comes to lawn mower repair.

It was at that point that Supa came outside to see what I was up to.  He was all showered, dressed and looking very cute in his tie and very clean.  He was ready to walk out the door to go to work and there was no way he was going to save my day this time.  He promised me he would get the part for the mower (and the part for the weed eater that we've been needing) from Lowe's on his way home and have my yard shit back in proper working order that afternoon. 

Well, there was no way I was giving up that easily!  I still needed to cut my grass.  I just needed a lawn mower.  After contemplating "borrowing" the neighbors, I decided it wasn't a good day to get arrested so I called Jade.  (Yes, at 7 fucking AM on Sunday morning)  Let's just say she wasn't awake.  However, she did answer the phone.  I announced I was on my way over to borrow her mower because I had just broken mine.  I'm sure her first thought was, "ok, you just broke yours so now you want to borrow mine?!".  Fortunately, she didn't say that.  She mumbled something about meeting me outside at her shed and I hung up.  I drove the 5 seconds it takes me to get to her house and there she was, ye ol' faithful, standing at her shed door in her pajama's waiting for me.  :)  Jade, I love you.  Once again, you saved my day.

We crammed the mower into the back of my truck and after kissing Jade's face, I was on my way home to mow the grass FINALLY.

I cut the grass.  Back, front and both sides.  When I was finished, I was exhausted but not as bad as I was the first few times I cut it.  GREAT NEWS!  That means that my body is getting stronger and that's why I'm doing it in the first place. 

I decided that I didn't feel like cramming the mower back into my truck all by myself so I gathered my children and walked the mower back to Jade's house.  Yep, I said I walked the fucking mower back.  That would be down the road a piece, across the 4 way stop, down another small piece of road and one right turn onto her road.  It takes 30 minutes to walk to Jade's house and walk back home.  We got many strange looks on our journey since I WAS pushing a lawn mower down the road but since I don't give a fuck, it didn't bother me one bit.  I even waved at a few of the freaks that were staring at us.  LOL.  

I wished I had this shirt on.  Never mind, on that note, I don't really want to have to explain to Dazzle and Neon just yet what a "dickhead" is. 
After we got home and I had taken a cold shower, we made Grama Darling's spaghetti sauce (and that needs to cook all day so we got it moving), baked two batches of chocolate chip cookies, made tuna salad for weekly lunches, had lunch, folded laundry, watched a home movie and finally relaxed.  I was beat by the end of the day.  It was a busy day but I loved every minute of it.  :)

Monday as usual, came too quick!  Where, oh where, did my weekend go?!

I hope this was worth the wait and if not, kiss my ass!,

Apple
