Defective Gnome

Well this is it my 100th post. I am sure it is supposed to be something epic. My original plan was to ask TNO to guest post, but that is not happing.


Maybe Nooter will take pity on my poor soul and do me a Nifty Nine guest post for my 109th entry.


Well.....................I broke my mini gnome. I am an unfit gnome owner and let me show you why. The mini gnome was so unhappy here he killed my innocent ivy. You can dig few posts back to see the before picture. So now the gnome is sitting in a pot of dirt and I am waiting to see if something sprouts back… if not I guess I will have to buy a new plant for it to kill. I really dont think i will get ivy again. I called to see if i could get a birds of paradise plant, but i guess that grows WAY to big for an apartment.

Me vs. The Bumblebee

I was just lying on the couch watching TV, which I rarely do, but I just had a headache that would not go away. I even used Tylenol Rapid Release. I tried talking to it telling it to leave, then negotiating with it to come back at a later time…it just was not listening. I think I kind of zoned out ½ way through the Simpson’s and that is when I heard the humming noise; I thought to myself did I lose a vibrator in the couch? I opened my eyes and there it was the HUGEST (is that a word) bumblebee I have ever seen. This thing looked like it was on steroids compared to other bees. My first reaction was to punch it in the face (thank you Dane Cook) but it flew away. Its evasion skill was amazing.


Side note: Let it be known if you are with me and there is a bug in the room it is your job to eradicate it on sight.

I grabbed the “Febreeze” and sprayed it, and then I sprayed it again and again. All I seemed to be accomplishing was making Sable and myself sneeze and pissing off the bumblebee. I set the can down and by the time I turned around the bee was coming right at me so I ducked and ran, and yes I screamed like a girl, but that is ok cuz I am. This meant war!!! So I grabbed the bottle of “Fantastic” and sprayed it, it was a direct hit and the bee fell to the floor, the thud resounded while I cheered (really… it was a thud). I move closer to inspect it and it is still moving. I grabbed my sandal and whacked it, it was still moving and I swear one of its eyes was glowing red… I whacked it again and again till it was not only dead but also flat. I got some paper towel picked up the bee and flushed it; I did not want to take the chance of it resurrection from my trashcan. I looked at Sable and thanked her for the excellent patrol and protection skills as she lay there under the coffee table. Turns out she was not sneezing she was laughing. Well at least my headache is gone.

Found It!

Oh sometimes when it comes to scents, I am a sucker. I love Bath and Body Works. So it is no different when it comes to my apartment. A while ago I bought one of those Febreeze Scent Players and you could but these handy Scent Stories discs to go in it. Well for the last several months I have been on the prowl for more Scent Stories discs… there was none to be found. I checked Wal-Mart, Kmart, Kroger, Target, Meijers and any other store that looked like it might possibly carry it. Well I stopped in the Yankee Candle Store to get some tarts (I cant stand burning candles because over time it makes your walls discolored) I happened to turn around and there they were Yankee Candle style scent story discs that will work in my febreeze scent player. I picked out a few and the angels sang. I got to the counter and found out they cost 2x as much as the febreeze ones did so I wrinkled my nose and bought just one. I know I will rest easier tonight knowing that I will no longer have to worry where I will get my next scent stories disc at.

All is well with the world again.

I'm Back

Well I believe I am caught up with my reading for a while.

...and Graduation board jobs

So i can maybe start blogging again.

Musical Karma?

I was driving to work this morning singing along with Throwback’s version of “I Like Big Butts” the original by Sir Mix A lot….Hey I am a rocker, not a rapper. And there it was on the side of the road. Something you do not want to see before 7:00 in the morning. CRACK! Some guy was lying on the ground in front of his car fixing something and flashing a huge amount of crack. I skipped to the next song immediately and I doubt I will ever sing along with that song again while driving.

No Float for Me :(

It has been hell at work the past couple of days. I try to leave it there and not carry it home…but tonight I stopped at the grocery store. I got Velveeta Shells and Cheese and I wanted a root beer float. I have not had one in so long. I get all the stuff and check out and head home before the ice cream melts. I begin to put away the groceries and what I was looking at was vanilla ice cream, but what I picked up was “birthday cake” ice cream. Ugh! Well so much for the rood beer float. No I am not brave enough to have a root beer birthday cake ice cream float. I guess I will just splurge on Shells and Cheese with root beer to drink.

Idiot Girl a Week in Review

Monday: I spent the whole weekend with my parents, I needed today to recover, I was so busy with all the scrap booking jobs (graduation boards & books) that I barely had time to see them. My mom and I did make time to go shopping…yes she had to force me. In the end I was glad I went and had some fun. Got my dad some Wii games for Fathers Day. He is the bestest dad ever. Someday if I win the lotto I will take care of him and my mom for putting up with all my idiot girl ways.


Tuesday: What is up with all the road kill?…. Is the road kill picker-upper on vacation? Eww. I must have seen 5 dead animals on my little drive today. Including a turtle.

Wednesday: I had to call the court and pay my $140 fine for turning on orange. The lady on the other end of the phone felt sorry for me, or at least she pretended too…which really did not make me feel better.

Thursday: It was pretty uneventful. No memorable idiot moments to report. Except I have 3 more graduation boards to do. I will try not to get my fingers stuck together with glue dots this time.

Friday: When I went to bed Thursday night I set my alarm (cell phone) and put it on the charger. Well I must not have plugged it in all the way so the phone went completely dead, which means at 7:30 I was still sleeping instead of foreclosing on people at work. Sable had to do speed peeing and I had to do some super fast showering, but I got to work at 8:30 so all in all not too bad…the best part was I was not pulled over for speeding.
