Word Verification

I’m still fighting with my nemesis, Word Verification. I am so sick of her and antics!!! One minute she is being a total bitch to me and the next she’s acting like she’s my friend.

Many of you know that I’ve had issues with my eyes, for those of you that don’t the short story is: corneal ulcers, iritis, and I can no longer safely wear contacts. Well, WV knows this too because I’m pretty sure she subscribes to my blog privately. Anyway, one evening she kept giving me letters that were all smushed together and difficult to read. I , being the lady that I am, cursed her out under my breath. She came back with this:

Squint! Can you believe that? That’s just cruel considering the issues I’ve had with my eyes.

Did it end there? Nope. Then she gets all pseudo-friendly. Somehow she found out that I was moving to WordPress from Blogger. I don’t know who her source is, but someone told her. One of my biggest fears was losing subscribers, but I told myself to just do it. Well, at some point I must have mumbled “it’s not like anyone will even care” and then I went off to leave a comment and I got this:

Yeah right! She doesn’t care, she just likes to keep me under her thumb where she can watch me more closely. Well guess what WV, I moved! I’m on WordPress now and if you no longer get my feed I guess you’ll have to resubscribe.

I can’t lose for winning. I made out like a bandit! look what I won from Independent Mami:

I won the full line of lip care from softlips! Let me tell you why I am so excited about this. I hardly wear make-up, it’s not necessary when you wear a paper bag over your head most days. Another reason I don’t wear much make-up is that I have ridiculously sensitive skin. Well, the items you see above are free of: preservatives, phthalates, parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, and even gluten. They also have natural mineral sunscreen, which I am not allergic too. I’m stoked! Thank you, Independent Mami!!!

Last night I was exhausted! I could not wait to get into bed. I slept well for a few hours then I woke up at 4am and could not go back to sleep. The sun came up while I just lay there wishing I could sleep. Then at around 6am, I fell asleep only to be promptly woken up by my daughter.

And that’s all she wrote!

Have a great weekend!

Those of you that have been here for awhile are well aware of my on-going feud with Word Verification. I can’t stand the Bitch! For the longest I just passively took her crap, until she started insulting me. Oh sure, she tries to be sly and and changes spellings on me so her insults are not so obvious, but phonetically her non-words still sound like insults. Well, she has really started hitting below the belt. She called me a racial epithet! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t exactly a racial epithet, but I can read between the lines.

Do you see that? She called me an “unhonki” as in not a “honky”. Hey don’t get mad at me! I don’t use that word, it’s WV that took it there. I got pissed and told her I was Latina. You’d think it would end there, but no. I kept leaving comments throughout the blogosphere and I couldn’t shake the feeling that WV was still taunting me. I was frustrated and angry and then she tries to get on my good side with this:

Mantra?! She wanted to know my mantra. Like I would reveal that to her! We’re not friends, but she’s trying to act like she wants to get to know me better. If I told her my mantra she would just use it against me later.

My friends, I’m changing. I hardly recognize myself. I’ve never been a morning person. If I could sleep until noon every day, I would do so gladly. I’ve never been one of those people that felt life was passing them by while they slept. You know the ones, the ones that say, “I can sleep when I die”; to that I would always say, “No you can’t because you’ll be DEAD!”. So who is this person that has been getting up at 5:45 or 6:00 am, while everyone else is still asleep? I’ll tell you who she is. She is a woman desperate for a few moments to herself.

For about a week now, I’ve been rising before my husband and daughter. I get some work done, I blog, and most importantly I get to spend a few glorious moments alone. I’m a better happier person because of these solitary mornings. Now if my daughter doesn’t take a significant nap, I don’t feel like “my” time was taken from me. I can count on “my” time in the morning and any other time I get is just gravy.

When I got back from Miami there was a package waiting for me from Mimi, “The Cursing Crafter”! It was so nice to go through my mail and find something other than bills. Here’s what was in the package:

It’s a lovely sign that reads, “Warning: All conversations are subject to blogging. Especially if you say something stupid.” Thank you Mimi, this sign might help me avoid some lawsuits.

And that’s all she wrote!

Have a great weekend!
