Friday Confessional : Cuss Word Edition

 confucius say: Confessions are good for the soul. 

I confess...this one time, at band camp.  Ok, alright.  I never went to band camp.  BUT I did go to cheerleading camp...and this one time I mooned someone from the 10th floor window.  AND then my roommate and I made a poster with our phone number (to our dorm room) and taped it in the window.  There was also a football camp going on at the same time...*achem* boys roomed in the dorms opposite ours.  Need I say more?

 

I confess...this one time, when I was 5, I told my Sunday School teacher that my Grandpa and I used "little bastards" for bait when we went fishing.  She asked! 

 

I confess...that last weekend, I got paid back for my indiscretion.  Isaiah was chasing his cousin around the back yard and he yelled out "come back here you little bastard".  Super. #payingformyraising

 

I confess...that in a moment of heated frustration I cussed (like a bad cuss word) at Michael.  He started laughing uncontrollably, which increased my disdane.  When the tears cleared, he told me that I'm a bad "cusser"...like I don't know how. WHATEV, Michael.

 

I confess...since we're talking about cuss words (how did that happen??  I swear I didn't start this out with the intention of writing a whole post about cussing.), I should confess that I like to use made up cuss words.  For example, "holy shiz", "hellz no", and the mother of all made up cuss words (that is not APPROPRIATE in any way, shape, or form...but I use WAY TOO often) "sofa king"...go ahead, say it...out loud (<---Twi reference, if you got it.)  It's bad, right?!...but sofa king funny. (I did NOT just say that). 

 

What is wrong with me?! 

 

I'm going to hellz. 

 

I need to repent. 

 

Oh, wait that's right. 

 

I just confessed. 

 

Ok, it's all good.

 

Happy Friday! 

Hope your weekend is sofa king awesome! <---I DID NOT just say that!  Get ahold of yourself, JK.  Geez. 

We Want To Know Wednesday

1. Everyone seems to have a quirky family situation-- what is something unique about your family dynamic? 

I guess what's unique about my family is that I am my mother's only child, but I have 3 half-siblings and 2 step-siblings.  Also, both mine and Michael's moms are twins...kinda crazy, huh? 

2. What is the most stressful aspect to blogging (aside from the network going down)?

Comments.  Commenting...replying to comments...making the rounds.  It gets stressful sometimes keeping up with it all and then you do what I do and just become a total blog fail for a while. 

3. We all end up on a blog at some point in our day, but name your top 3 favorite websites you flock to daily (non blog)!

Twitter.com
FanFiction.net
Letterstotwilight.com and Letterstorob.com

4. What’s your sign? Believe in it or not, does any part ring true to you?

I'm a Libra. 

This is what I found when I Googled "characteristics of a Libra" :

The objective of a Libra is to spread harmony and co-operation in his surroundings. Libra symbol is a pair of scales. It is the only Zodiac sign to be represented by an object. The basic characteristic of Librans is fairness and justice. They focus all their energy in balancing everything and are very good at maintaining a perfect balance. Librans have the ability to view complex situations with an unbiased consideration. After weighing all the options, they always come up with an impartial solution.


They are socially active and enjoy the company of like-minded people. Due to their basic nature, these people are creative and love art in every form. They like to experiment with colors, form and elements in everything they do. With regard to interpersonal relationships, Librans are specialists. They have the habit of putting others’ needs on a higher priority than their own. They can diplomatically find the solution to any problem however serious it may be. “To every action there is an opposite and equal reaction” – this explains the behavior of Librans. They can easily control ‘cause and effect’ which make them perfect strategists.

I'm not sure how much weight I put in my zodiac sign, but I do see some of the things listed about in myself. 

 
5. IceCream!! ICECREAM!! We all scream for icecream! Name your favorite flavor/brand!

Mint Chocolate Chip.  I prefer Braum's or Edy's.

Friday Confessional : The Austin Edition

 I'm linking up today with Mamazrazzi for Friday Confessional.  'Cause Lord knows I need to! There's a few things from my trip to Austin that I need to get off my chest and what better time to do it than Friday Confessions.  Remember, nothing said in this post can be held against me at any time.

• This one time...in Austin, I laid down on a couch in a gay bar.  Thank goodness for friends like Becca who remind you what someones might have done there...and for Germ-X...and for knowing how to sing the Happy Birthday song twice to get your hands extra clean.
• Also, this one time...in Austin, I walked around downtown without any shoes on.  Impulsive forced me to wash my feet in the bathtub before sleeping in the same bed with her.  She even called Shawn for some back-up.  Thank goodness for friends who make you wash your feet.

• ALSO, this one time...in Austin, Vivienne gave me the 'mom look' and tried to make me wear my seatbelt in the back back seat of Becca's van.  It worked on Impuslive, but not me.  I'm a rebel like that.  But thank goodness for friend who care enough to give you the 'mom look'.

• AND this one time...in Austin, I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and I was laying on the floor inbetween the two beds where Impulsive and Becca were fast asleep...with my phone smashed to my face.  If you got a text and/or tweet that night/morning, I apologize.
• This one time...in Austin, I told our waiter that he looked like a porn star.  Then I proceeded to tell him it was due to his "phonytail" and "9th grade mustache"...AND I called him "Jake the Pornstar" from then on.
• This one time...in Austin, I autographed someone's chest with a blue sharpie.  Sorry, Shawn.
• I kissed a girl(s)...
• One last thing...this one time...in Austin, I met some AMAZING people who are now my REAL LIFE friends...it was one of the best weekends EVER.

...a professional FUN-HAVER.

Keep Austin Weird!

The ladies from Harried Mom of Four, Impulsive Addict, JennyKate's Spot, Seriously Shawn, The Texas Darlings and The V-Spot just spent a fun weekend in Austin, Texas.

Keepin' Austin Weird from Rebecca Darling on Vimeo.
Keep Austin Weird is Austin's slogan... so the six of us tried to do our part!  We shared our senses of humor, a lot of laughs and a ton of off the cuff comments {some too inappropriate to share here}. We decided to write down the funny comments that were said and turn them into a contest for all of our readers. The winner will receive Austin souvenirs, picked out by all six of us.
The contest is very easy. Below you will find six quotes. Match up the quote with who you think said it.  For example, if you think blogger A was the person who said quote #4, your answer is A=4. Leave your match-ups for A-F in ONE comment.

This contest is running on all six blogs, but there is no need to leave multiple entries, but go and visit all of these fab ladies. At the end of the contest, the reader with the most correct answers (or ties for the most correct answers) from each blog will have their name entered in a drawing. The random drawing will be held on Friday June 3rd and the winner will be announced that same day. (Then they can watch their mail box for the six separate little Austin-gifts that will be coming their way...)
Sounds fun, yes?   Here we go...

A. Becca- The Texas Darlings

B. JennyKate- JennyKates Spot

C. Jen-Harried Mom of Four

D. Vivienne- The V-Spot

E. Seriously Shawn

F. Impulsive Addict

Who said it...?
1.} Well clearly he wants to play a game called Just The Tip!
2.} Oh, that's even worse sober!
3.} He looks like a porn-star with that phony-tail and a 9th grade mustache!
4.} I'd rather be juvenile than an old fart!
5.} I think I just peed on my shoes a little.
6.} I don't know how to knick-knack my house so I don't know how to knick-knack me.


Have fun and good luck!
Here are some more quotes, just because they're too funny to go unmentioned!
* Did I shower last night? {Vivienne}
* No more free drinks! {JK}
* Ooh my sphincter! {Shawn}
* We brought the flats {Mimi & Mamarazzi out last night but they got wet. {Becca}
* I've always wanted fallopian tube art! {Vivienne}
* We had pizza last night...right? {Vivienne}
* I can't get it in the hole, Shawn. {JK}
* I might have just tinkled a little. {JK}
* I just drank matches. {IA}
* Tapas? I don't want to go to a topless restaurant! {Shawn}
* When I get waxed I yell Bradley Cooper! {Shawn}
* Either I'm in a disco or this room is spinning. {JK}
* Well if the spasm is from an orgasm than it's a good spasm! {Shawn}
* Walk away while you still can Tony Rogers {a comedian we ran into while having pizza at 4 in the morning}, we will suck you in! {JK}
* Asms are good, it's the isms you need to stay away from! {Porn star waiter who clearly was listening to our conversation!}

We Want To Know Wednesday : Musts

I am linking up once again with Shawn, Impulsive, Mama, and Janette for their nosey-azz questions.


This week, Shawn came up with these fabulous "MUST" questions:


1.} What must you do before you go to bed at night?  I MUST take my make-up off and brush my teeth, AND I must read on my Kindle or iPhone.  I can't go to sleep until I do...it's like a soothing lullaby.


2.} What is one thing you must snack on at the theater?  Um, not really any MUSTS, but I do love Hot Tamales!


3.} Before going on vacation what must you do?  I MUST have a clean house.  I HATE coming home from vacay to a dirty house.  Not happening!


4.} What is one thing you must do every day?  So many things...um, where to start?  I don't know how to pick just one.  Pray, drink coffee, interact in social networks, give Isaiah lots of hugs and kisses, laugh (TOTAL MUST), be a dork ('cause I can't help myself), take vitamins, call my granny...


5.} Is there something you do that must be done in a particular order? Yeah, lots of things, but I'll use showering for example...I always always always start with my hair, shampoo it, wash my face, rinse my hair and my face all at the same time, put conditioner in my hair, lather up, wash, shave, and then rinse my hair and everything else.  In that order.  No variations.

Friday Confessional 05.20

 I confess that there was a creepy repair guy fixing our air conditioner at our office last week and he kept staring at me.  So, I did this.

Worked like a charm.  Problem solved.  Full-size Edward has SO many uses.

He fixed our A/C in record time.

I confess that every time I see the Magnum Ice Cream commercial I think of condoms.  Do you think that was the marketing strategy they were going for?

I confess that while you're reading this, I'm roadtrippin' with Impulsive and we're on our way to meet up with Seriously Shawn, Becca from The Texas Darlings, Vivienne from The V Spot, and Jen from Harried Mom of 4!  I really can't put into words just HOW excited I am to be meeting all of these lovelies in PERSON.  Seriously.  It's too much.  I'm so stoked...I feel like dropping every 90's adverb in my vocabulary...it's the bomb...the bomb.com...the bombdiggity...rad...2legit2quit...it's totally going to rock.

I also confess that I posted over at The RHOK today...an archive worth re-reading!

Hope you all have super fabulous Fridays!!

We Want To Know Wednesday : Week 5

 
I'm linking up once again for my mid-week-blogging-fix with Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette for WWTKW!
 {1} If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be?

I'd be invisible.  It'd be way cool.

{2} What would be your first frivolous purchase if you were awarded a million dollars, tomorrow?

A one-way plane ticket to Europe...return date TBD.

{3} What would be the hardest current luxury for you to give up?

I'm pretty fond of indoor bathrooms and electricity.  I also am not in favor of giving up my iPhone, Internet, or satellite television (including the DVR...we're BFFs).

I know that's more than one, but my blog, my rules.

{4} If you were given a choice between being given great wisdom and great wealth, which would you choose?

I'll take the wisdom.  Thanks.

{5} If you were to be stranded on a deserted island for 100 days what 5 THINGS would you pack?

1. A hammock - I don't like sleeping on the ground
2. My life-size Edward Cullen (I can't let LBB one-up me)
3. My Kindle (LOADED to the brim with downloads)
4. A solar power source for said Kindle
5. A knife and LOTS of matches (I know that's two, but I had to squeeze Edward in there)

We Want To Know Wednesday : Week 4

I'm linking up once again for my mid-week-blogging-fix with Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette for WWTKW!

This week's questions are brought to us by the lovely Jannette from Est 5.26.07 ~ The Johanson Journey.

She wants to know...

1. What game show have you always thought you could be on and totally WIN!

Hmmm...I think I would do pretty good on the Singing Bee, as long as they stick to 90's hip-hop/rap, hairbands, and country.


2. Do you have a tattoo(s)? What are they and what made you chose them? If not, would you get one, yes/no/why?
 
Holy shiz.  This is where I lose followers.
 
Wellllll...yes, I have tattoos.  3 of them.  They are:
1. A cresent moon and two stars on my left foot.  A blue star for Michael (his birthstone is a sapphire) and a red star for Isaiah (his birthstone is a garnet)

2. The phrase "frequently dazzled" with an apple and "sparkles" on my left side (on my rib area)...the saying is from Twilight and the apple of course is also from Twilight...and the sparkles are...um, well...from the sparkly vampires of Twilight.

3. A Mockingjay on my back between my shoulder blades...the Mockingjay is a fictional bird from the Hunger Games Trilogy.  If you wanna read more about why I picked it, you can read THIS.

3.  What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? 

My wedding ring.  It's the piece of jewelry I've had the longest.  I don't buy expensive jewelry, so it's the most valuable thing I wear.

BUT I also really love this cuff bracelet and I wear it more than I should.

4. What is your driving pet peeve(s)?

People driving slow in the fast lane.  Pisses me off.

5. What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?
 
From the 80's - The Cosby Show.  Bill is hilarious.

 
From the 90's - Seinfeld.  We still watch the re-runs and used to have every episode recorded to VHS tapes.

 
Want more WWTKW fun?!  Stop by Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, or Jannette's blogs and link up!

In Your Neck Of The Woods: A Gaggle of Geese and a Crazy Man

Things have been a little stressful in my neck of the woods.

My Granny is in the hospital and I've been staring at a lot of white walls lately. (prayers appreciated)

But last week, I was out at lunch and caught this on my iPhone...

Do you see the gaggle of geese?  I think they were wanting a Big Mac and a few Happy Meals.  I tried to get closer, but the one leading the pack hissed at me.  I took that as my cue to mind my own biznass.

Hallelujah!

Hope you all are having a great week so far!♥

Check out The RHOK for more IYNOTW posts!

Friday Confessional 05.06

 Being the (wannabe) gangsta that I am...I've had some brushes with the law lately.   I'm here to confess.

I confess that while out running errands for the office the other day I was feeling a little spunky.  The sun was shining.  I was wearing some CA-ute new sandles.  Warren G was pumpin' through my speakers.  loudly.  I had my window rolled down and I was sitting at the stop light.  There was a cop sitting in the QT parking lot across from me and I looked at him and did this...

I confess that as I pulled away from the stop light I kinda expected him to pull out behind me and pull me over, but he didn't.

I confess that I WAS pulled over the other day for driving like a Cullen.  87 in a 75.  That's not so bad, right?  AND my tag was expired.  Ooops.  I didn't know.  I'm serious.  He let me go with a warning.  Whew.

What do you confess?  Hop on over to Mamarazzi's and link up...spill yer guts!  It makes for good bloggin'!

We Want To Know Wednesday

 Fulfilling my promise to Impulsive...and linking up for the third installment of WWTKW hosted by Impulsive Addict, Seriously Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Janette!1. If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe. Hmmm...a European Vacation.  Not like the Griswold's, but like JennyKate's European Vacation.  I would need a few weeks and I would rent a yacht and travel around the coast of France.  Perhaps, travel into Italy and visit the location where they filmed the Volturi/Italy scenes for New Moon.  Take a train to London and buy some old books.  Stop by Ireland and hang out in a pub for a day or two. 
2. What's a bad habit that you have {or ha} that is/was hard to break? being a fatty.  hard habit to break.

3. If you weren't on a diet or counting calories, what would you like to have for dinner tonight? a big HEAPING bowl of pasta with alfredo sauce and LOTS of parmesean cheese...and some bread...and a slice of cheesecake...and a captain and coke.

4. If you had the chance to interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and what's one question that you would ask? Rob. Duh.  I would ask him if he was free for the night. ;)
5. Describe yourself in 6 words. bookworm-coffee-drinker-quirky-talkative-funhaver

Friday Confessional 04.29

Here I am, the one-trick-pony, once again surfacing in the blogosphere to link up with the one and only Mamarazzi for her Friday Confessional!

No preliminaries, just confessions...

I confess that I misbehaved in the theater last Friday night while watching Water For Elephants.

I confess that everytime Michael refers to Water For Elephants as Water For Donkeys I get irate!  Like I wanna scratch his eyeballs out.  He does it just to piss me off and get me all riled up.  He knows how to push my buttons.

I confess that I might have peed my pants in the parking lot of Abuelo's.  Just a little.

I confess that I laugh at inappropriate times.  Often.  The more I try to stop, the more I laugh.  I also do other inappropriate things that we won't discuss on the blog.  Today.

I confess that I'm just a little excited (ok, a lot) about the season premiere of Jerseylicious!  Love those hookers!

I confess that I have a crush on Scotty and I'm glad he didn't go home last night on AI.  Whew.  That was close.  I've gotta up my voting game.  Who's your fav?

Hope you all have a super fab Friday!!
