This and That Thursday

Pardon me while I rant!

• Yesterday while driving home from picking SWS up at school I saw no less than 10 people talking on their cell phone while driving.  One of them was so talented that she was talking on her phone, smoking and turning a corner all while narrowly avoiding hitting pedestrians in the crosswalk.  Good job, cell phone using, smoking, no handed driver lady!  A different cell phone using driver pulled out in front of me then was shocked to see me on his ass in his rear view mirror.  This caused him to speed up to a red light and slam on his brakes so he wouldn't run it.  It's only a seven minute drive between the school and home.  That's kinda scary.

• When I got home from work yesterday the tree trimmers were working hard butchering the trees along the power lines.  I had no issue with that because it makes us less likely to lose power during the next wind storm.  What I had issue with was they were blocking my driveway!  I normally don't say anything in situations like that, but when I got out of the car one of the workers came over to me and I just blurted out, "You're blocking my driveway".  He looked at me oddly and said "What?"  and I said it again.  All the while in my head I'm thinking I can't believe I just said that not once but twice.  Nothing like stating the obvious!  He chuckled and said they'd be done in a few minutes and be out of my way.  I spent the next hour going back and forth between being embarrassed for saying something to the worker and being angry they were blocking my driveway.

• My son plugs up the toilet with the biggest poops I've ever seen.  He knows how to fix the toilet but doesn't until I pester him over and over.  When the upstairs toilet is plugged that means there are six people using the downstairs toilet and I'm not ok with that!  Geez, that boy needs to get some fiber in his diet.

End of rant!  Thanks for listening.

I went to Asthmagirl's house last night and she gave me three wonderful things:

This hair color!

This fun toy!  I've never had one of these before and I'm very excited to use it!

She also gave me this, well because someone gave it to her who was not aware, or didn't remember about her lung issues.

Going to her house was like Christmas for me!  Thanks Asthmagirl!  You rock.

I decided to do Locks of Love, but looking at the above shot of my hair I realize how layered it is.  It's going to take longer than I thought to grow out enough of my locks to make them love worthy.  I think I can handle it.

I'm having a scrapbooking event at my house this weekend.  That means I'll be rearranging furniture, setting up tables, shopping for food, making goodie bags, cooking and scrapbooking!  It also means I will finally get my scrapbooking blog up and running sometime next week, hopefully.

I posted some new pictures at my photo blog I hope you enjoy them.  I'm having fun playing with my camera.

I'm so grateful you gave my mixer a good home! And that candle... thank goodness it's out of the house!

Wonderful to see you as always! Thanks for livening up my Wednesday night!

And no, we can't do hair on Tuesdays at all. Not with your addiction to Idol and mine for Deadliest Catch!

Wow, I need to get over to Diane's to see what she has for me!

I love my kitchenaid mixer and I'm going to have it cremated with me. As for the driveway incident, I would have said something too - I hate stupid people and that's just stupid. Case in point with cell phone drivers, I wish they'd start actually ticketing them. Thanks for stopping by my crazy corner!
