Fragmented Fridays

Have you ever wondered what my mug looks like?

I read a post at It’s Serious This Time that got me thinking about how hard it is to make new friends.  I have great friends and I don’t feel deficient in that area, but I can not remember the last time I made a new friend. So with that in mind I was at the playground today chatting with a woman that has a daughter around the same age as Put Pie. The daughter and mother were charming. I’ve been “cruised” by mother’s before, but most of the time I don’t feel like it’s something I want to pursue. This time when we were saying our goodbyes and the woman mentioned that we would probably run into each other again, I stepped out of my comfort zone and mentioned that maybe we could plan an activity for the girls. She offered me her phone number.


This might not seem like a big deal to you, but for me it’s huge. I am very shy. Most people don’t know this about me because I don’t come off as shy. I am an actor and I’m used to being in front of people. I can cover my extreme discomfort, but it’s still there. Anyway, I’m proud of myself for making the effort and tomorrow I will follow up with a text. Wish me luck!

Do I always keep my mug hidden under a paper bag?

Update on my BIG BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES

For months now I have been dealing with eye issues. It started with corneal ulcers in both eyes. I was told I could no longer safely wear contacts. Then I developed iritis in my left eye.  I had a reaction to the medication that I was given for the iritis. The pressure in my eye rose to an alarming level. I was then put on glaucoma medication. On Tuesday, I went to the eye doctor for the umpteenth time and got great news! It seems that my left eye is finally doing well. I still have to finish the cycle of medication that I am on, but I do not have to go back for 3-4 months (I’ve been going at least every 2 weeks). I am so relieved. This has been very draining and frightening.

Is my mug delicate and beautiful or is it rugged and aged?

We get care packages from my MIL almost every week. It is very sweet, but a lot of the times we do not need the things that she sends. We end up giving them away or donating them to Goodwill.

Would you recognize my mug if you saw it? 

I started this blog in April of last year. I was in desperate need of a creative outlet. I had never written anything for public consumption and I was scared, but I figured no one would read it anyway. Well, I was wrong. I was so wrong. I am honored to have some fantastic followers. I wish I could let my followers know how much they mean to me.


Hmmm…I have an idea! 

On occasion, I am going to offer my followers some of the things that my MIL sends us that we just don’t need.  I’ll put a picture up and if you want it just let me know in the comments section and I’ll mail it to you. If more than one follower wants it, I’ll pull a name out of a hat and send it to the "winner".  I would call it a MILF Giveaway! You know, “Mother in Law Freebies Giveaway”. But I wouldn’t want anyone to think it was a MILF “mother I’d like to f@#K” Giveaway, so I better call it something else. I got it!

(The following giveaway is not closed 3/14)

Friday Freebies for Followers!

So what do I have for you today?

I’ve got 2 books for you: Eat This, Not That For Kids! and Cook This Not That! According to the back covers of these books they each have a retail value of $19.95. That’s a combined total of $39.90. I, of course, paid nothing for them since they came from my MIL. If you are a new or current follower leave me a comment telling me you want them. I will chose a winner on Sunday. This is only open to followers (it’s my way of thanking you for your support) in the U.S. ( I love all my followers, but I have to pay for shipping and I’m broke yo!). Let the re-gifting begin!

Screw it! I’m gonna show you my mug!

First, I want to share this gem with you. I don’t usually post videos, but this is something else.

Alright, are you ready to see my mug?

Isn’t it beautiful? It was made and given to me by Julia from Brainella the Librarain. I love it! Thank you so much Julia. Your generosity really touched me.

And that's all she wrote!

Have a great weekend!

Blog is a Four Letter Word

I have a potty mouth. On occasion I've also been know to use curse words on this blog. Sure there are more eloquent ways to express myself, but sometimes the only thing that will satisfy is a four letter word.

Awhile back, I was inspired by Mrs. Blogalot's coinage of the word "bloghole" to come up with my own blog inspired curse words. Here's what I came up with: blog for brains, blogface, bloglicker, blogina (rhymes with vagina), blogf@*ker, blogsucker, motherblogger, go blog yourself, blog right off, you piece of blog.

I then asked you if you had any contributions.

Gregory J was a little put off at first because he does not consider blog to be a bad word. Here's what he had to say:

Now, is blog a dirty word? How can all those be insults unless blog is a dirt word. And I don't think it is.
They are not insults. You are a motherblogger. blogface could be like one's identity on their blog. go blog yourself is semi positive - do it on your blog. blog right off - sound off on your blog. The others, well......
I'm sorry Mami. I have to disagree. By using these things as insults, you are insulting all bloggers. I suppose you'll call me a bloghead for saying these things. No hard feelings?

Now, I did not mean to insult all bloggers, I was just having some fun so I wrote back:

You are right, there is nothing wrong with the word blog and I am indeed a motherblogger. With that in mind, have a great week and go blog yourself ☺!

Fortunately, he has a sense of humor and responded:

ahahahahahahahahaha
hearty laugh, thank you.

How about
fanblogtastic,
gawdbloggit,
'blog this, buddy',
eat my blog,
kiss my blog,
you bite blog,
go sit on a blog,
either blog or get off the computer,
'you're a blog - no, you're a blog',
'man, this sucks blog',
look at the blog on her.
he's really got blog. '
sure, I'd blog him/her',
I wouldn't throw him/her out of my blog'

Not bad for someone that resisted the initial concept.

Then I got more contributions.

Mrs. Blogalot gave me: blog forbid, Oh my blog!, blogasm

Helen wrote: Blogjob. Bloggard. Blogfud.

Sophia's Mom wrote:  how about... Son of a blog!

From Matty I got: blogiot.....a blogging idiot.

Eva wrote: My Hubby says I'm a blogaholic; I respond, Kiss my blog!

SubMom enjoys the term: Blogho.

My Little Miracles loved all these "blogsults"

Do you see what we can accomplish when we pool our energies? I say we petition to get some of these in the dictionary. If Beyoncé could unwittingly expand the English language to include the term bootylicious then surely we can get Oxford to include at least one bloggy bad word.
