Well, according to Women’s Health, peppermint schnapps and adventure are the two things you need to make your sex life a fun romp in bed again - and in other places around town!

  4. Go to dinner.
  5. Get cooking.
  6. Strip-playstation 3 challenge.

Relaunching fun

July 21st, 2008 Brunette

Two of my blogs, Simple Home Basics and The Parent Spot, are re-launching on Monday, August 4th. Yes, they are current blogs. Yes, they have great traffic. So why re-launch? Well, when both blogs were actually started I didn’t run out and push, promote and scream that they were alive and kicking. Now, I am!

On top of SCREAMING at the top of my lungs, I have been lucky enough to find some great sponsors that have offered awesome product for us to giveaway during our re-launch! A few of those sponsors are:

  • Smart Mom Solutions
  • New Baby
  • The Six O’clock Scramble
  • Change: A Starter Kit

Make sure when August 4th rolls around, you stop by and see what is up! Don’t worry, I will keep reminding you. BTW, no need to wait for August 4th, you can stop by whenever you’d like. We are always open for a chat or some feedback!

And, I am also not ashamed to ask, but if you would like to sponsor a giveaway on one or both blogs, then let me know. I LOVE to give stuff away :)

Barnacles!

July 15th, 2008 Brunette

Taking from our little bottom of the sea friend, Mr. Spongebob Squarepants, I have decided to use this word to let loose my frustration on society - just those freaking idiots that can not learn how to use a turning lane.

I mean come on! What is the point of having the turning lane if people don’t plan to use it to turn? There is one location this happens at a lot as I am driving and one day someone is gonna get their ass hit.

I drive the highway in the AM into my office and the off ramp I use goes directly into the road to continue driving - there is no stop or yield. The downfall of this is that there are several locations right off the highway this road services with a turning lane for drivers to move into. Do you think they actually use it? Heck no!

This morning, on my way in, another smart driver that I am following goes on the off ramp, follows it around and then I would say at least a half mile after this conversion decided to stop in the driving lane and then proceeds into the turning lane to turn. What is up with that? Do drivers like this understand what a turning lane is for?

If you plan to move into the turning lane, use your signal, let others know this is happening, then move into the lane, slowing down or stopping to make your turn. DON’T STOP IN THE DRIVING LANE! Um, why? Well, it is called an ACCIDENT!

Dumbass! Barnacles!

Mad Dayz

July 10th, 2008 Brunette

There were three posts I could do today for you - a cute meme I had completely done, then it vanished on me; tell you my pain as I try to buy a new laptop with no money; or, figure out how to pimp myself for a new iPhone 3G. Well, the meme is gone, I’m always a whiny butt, so how about puppy-dog-eyes-83825the pimping? Hey, 2 for 1 - laptop and iPhone!

So, how does one pimp to get what they want? Yea, I know that. Trust me that is what my Twitter friends suggested. I might be desperate, but not THAT desperate. I can try what my daughter does to get her way. Those cute little puppy dog eyes. Doesn’t work on mom, but she has her dad wrapped around her little finger!

Hmm… maybe get down on my hands and knees and beg? Beg until the sun comes up, goes down, comes up… you get the picture. My goal for the begging forever - they will get tired of listening to me and just give my the laptop and iPhone to shut up! I am good at talking and I even will throw my hands in for special effects. Hey, who can resist?

Then there was this post! Pimp myself out by basically saying, “Hey, I’m not above begging on an open forum to get what I want.” So, that sounds like it’s the one! I’m begging on my lil ‘ole me blog because I’m a heel and I want an iPhone 3G and a laptop. Well I want the phone, but I need the laptop.

Please? Pretty please? With whipped cream on top? And a cherry!? I mean heck, stick a pull string in my back and I’ll pimp myself out for Apple.

“Buy an iPhone. They Rock.”

“Buy an iPhone. They’re Awesome.”

“Buy an iPhone. They’re smack your grammy good.”

You get the picture :)

moon wonder

July 8th, 2008 Brunette

I survived MONDAY!!!

I thought there was no way my dragging butt was gonna get through it, but I did, I’m here! The only thing off about today so far… rain. It is raining, so if you want it, take it. It’s free!

HAHAHA! Oh that’s funny. I’m writing this post and looking out the window as some idiot driver turns the corner, clearly has time to see their is a garden-type island in the parking lot and drives right up on it. Must have done something because he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. And I’m the one that has to go to defensive driving class!

Ahhh… the joys of having a nice big window to watch the world. And, I often wonder, “What the heck was that person thinking?”

So, back to my Monday.

To cap off the night, Miss K asked me this questions, “Do they make moon block?”

Now mind you I was writing up an article since she was actually suppose to be in bed, so I really didn’t catch what she said.

“Now, what did you ask?”

She said it again, “Do they make moon block?”

“Moon block? What do you mean baby?”

She looks at me with her hands moving all over - hand talker # 2 in our family - “You know. They make sun block for you in the sun. Do they make moon block for you at night?”

And that made my Monday :)
