Sears

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Is either really smart or really stupid. A man can get a Craftsman t-shirt (I think) if they buy lingerie, fine jewelry, or a fragrance. C’mon, bribing men to buy Valentine’s Day gifts? Like I said, really smart or really stupid. Women are not going to be happy when their man puts that shirt on and she got some ‘fine’ jewelry from Sears.

I’m just sayin’.

Another Snowday For Me and Monkey!!

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Awesome!! We are going to chill and of course I’ll do homework because I have an entire day to do so!! Kind of cool for us :) What sucks, UWM waited until 6 am to cancel classes. I started to drive to school and turned around. I said to myself, they can have my professionalism points, I’m not going to die today.

I got just outside of J-Town and almost went into the ditch due to the drifts on the road and as soon as there were no street lights, I couldn’t see a damned thing!! Honestly, I could see like 5ft in front of me. Best part, a big diesel truck flew past me and I had to almost come to a dead stop before I could see the road again. I turned around as soon as I could!

Milwaukee is having a snow emergency and they waited to call off school? WTF are they thinking? Some of us commute to classes every single day for crying out loud!!

I even tried to call my teacher on her cell and her phone said, “The caller you have just reached is not accepting calls at this time.” Nice. Oh and then it said the same thing in Spanish? Maybe she’s fluent? I’m not sure. Anyway. She probably knew it was canceled and was sleeping tight in her snuggly warm bed! UGH!!

What Has Our Society Come To?

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

On my PITA way home, I heard that FOX has a new show coming soon. I don’t recall the name but basically they are hooking people that ‘love’ each other in one way or another up to lie detector machines and asking them questions. One of the examples was something like, “Do you think you’ll be married in 5yrs?” Honestly, do you think the other person wants to hear the answer to that?

What has our world come to? Is our society so warped that we now want to see people tortured like this? I just don’t get it. I’m not sure if I’m more appalled by creators of the show or the people who actually want to participate in such a mess. Heaven help us all.

Please Explain to Me Why They Do This to the Roads

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

I’m quite sure everyone has seen this, but I really wish I had a why explanation . Why do the road people insist on putting loose tar/gravel junk in midget potholes? They never pack it down and then it flies up all over your car and the car behind you. UGH! It drives me absolutely nuts and by the end of the day, the hole is still there because none of the crap stays in the freakin’ hole.

I know the county I live in pays employees quite well so I’m thinking they should pay an engineer to come up with a better product to pack them there holes with.

Seriously, Who Designs This Stuff?

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

In preparation for my trip, I did a little shopping. Monkey had some money burning a hole in his pocket and wanted to go to Target to spend it. Instead of making another trip to Old Navy or something, I decided to get some long sleeved shirts at Target. Now, I don’t normally shop there for clothing because I hate trying stuff on and I know what size I wear at Old Navy.

I find the plain LS tees and grabbed mediums to be safe (I would normally get small at Old Navy). I figured if they shrink, I will be good. Well, I tried them on last night and I was shocked!! I know I have some huge guns (HAHA, yeah right!) but these shirts were almost too tight on my arms!! I just couldn’t believe it. My arms aren’t much larger than my 10yr olds for crying out loud!! I couldn’t help but think, “Does the average woman really have smaller arms that me?” And I have some puny ass arms for real. I just don’t understand who they think really has that small of arms. I think a medium is like an 8-10 or something and there is just no freakin’ way this shirt would fit ANY average sized woman loose like. They weren’t fitted t’s or anything, just regular old t-shirts. I dunno, just thought it was kind of odd. I guess I learned my lesson, buy stuff at the place you know it fits you? Oh well. The shirts will be fine, I just won’t dry them in the dryer?

Has This Ever Happened to You?

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Today I got to hear how badly I am taken for granted on the regular. It actually makes me laugh a little because the fact that these folks take me for granted ALL the time has finally come to bite them in their collective asses. They honestly have no idea how good they have had it up until this point.

Good luck with that!!

At Least I Won’t Get Fleas?

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

I just used this Botanical hair moisturizing stuff and it freakin’ smells like flea shampoo! I was cleaning out my bathroom drawers, found it, and thought, “I’ll try this today!” I guess I should have smelled it before I lathered it all through my hair. Whoops!! I put it in my hair and quickly looked at the little sample bottle to see where it came from.

See, last summer there was a lady at the Pig and she was handing out all these ‘natural’ product samples. I thought it must be from her because the hand lotion she gave me was awful smelling. Nope, it was good ol Bath and Body. I normally love their products and I’m sure this will make my hair look fab, but whoever said it smells like wheat germ and almond is on crack!! I guess I don’t really know what wheat germ smells like, but I venture to say it does not smell like flea shampoo.

Lesson learned. Smell something before you put it in you hair!! Oh well. I hope the fleas stay away at least? HAHA. Oh and I’m REALLY hoping it isn’t one of those Bath and Body products where the smell NEVER leaves you :(

And Then I Really Am Leaving

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I am/was half watching this show on E! about women who have had plastic surgery that went completely awry. It is quite gross and sad.

I do, however, have a problem with this whole mess. Don’t get me wrong, some people have plastic surgery to correct birth defects or something that is disfiguring, and that makes total sense. What I don’t get are the women who look totally fine and think they need all kinds of work. Then, when they get the work, something awful happens and they end up disfigured and jacked up looking.

One woman had saggy boobs and wanted a lift. Fine. She had the surgery and wasn’t happy and went back to the man who butchered her the first time 3 more times to ‘correct’ what he had done wrong. Guess what, her right nipple turned black and rotted off because he never let anything heal! OMFG! Can you imagine?

I know we all have our insecurities, but get a grip. Maybe some of these women should spend the money on counseling and getting right in the head before they destroy their bodies. Who doesn’t want to look all perfect and pretty? We all do, but most of us have enough love for ourselves and half a brain to realize that the risks are not worth it. You know, like being disfigured or losing a nipple…among other things. Call me crazy, but I think I’ll live with my less than perfect body if it means keeping all my original parts.

Roadside or Bedside? Hmm?

Friday, November 16th, 2007

I have a very important announcement to make. If you are looking for a new mattress set, a bed in a bag comforter set, or a velvet ‘painting’ they are being sold on Hwy 145 (Fond du Lac Ave) in Milwaukee. Yes, you heard me right, you can buy a complete mattress set with all the goodies right on the corner of the street. Looked like some quality merchandise if I do say so myself. I know Christmas is coming so I wanted to give everyone the heads up on the great deals they are offering right now. Hurry, because it looked like they had limited quantities!!

(I hope everyone can hear the sarcasm in this post)

Seriously!

A.) Who sells a bed or bedding on the street corner

B.) Who is actually going to buy the shit?

Part that scares me, they must be selling it or they would not be out there freezing their asses off!! SCARY!

Discreet Er’ Not

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Today, as I was leaving the ladies room, I noticed these little white, wax coated bags near the tampon/sanitary napkin dispenser. Now, I have noticed them before, but never took the time to read the sticker on the front. Okay. Let me just tell you. These little bags are for the ‘discreet’ disposal of your feminine products. Hmm?

Lemme just take a moment to think about this. I’m back. WTF are they thinking with this one? Last time I checked, bringing a little white bag into the stall empty and out full, was not even sort of discreet. Are the other restroom users going to think you quick ate or packed a tiny little lunch or something? Uhh, no. Everyone is going to know you are on your period and that you have used sanitary (why are they called that? Seriously?) products in your precious, yet ‘discreet’ white bag. GROSS! Go back to the use of the discreet, in the stall, garbage cans!!

Thank you!
