Of Course I'm Cute and Naughty...Just Like Tink!

Hi my Bloggin' Babes. I've been down for the count. I needed to type something, though, because my blog addiction is driving my fingers. I don't have much, but I love this little "Naughty Girl Quiz." I'll type more tomorrow. Thinking of you guys and no more cooking birds or being around sick kids for me!

You're Tinkerbell!

A Few Saturday Thoughts...

Today I went to the big T. I followed my list and only deviated a few times. I ordered some things online and feel like things are coming together. My cruise tickets came today!!!!! I'm so excited. It's going to be fabulous and I don't care if that sounds like I'm bragging! LOL. I don't think I'm going to cook any kind of "bird" for a long long time. I'm only feeling halfway like hell, which is waaaay better than yesterday. Hmmmm I wonder if I had Taco Bell if it would make this feel better like it does for a hangover? Just a thought. :) Hope you're all doing well in all that snow! Ugh! It was nice here today and about 50. Life is pretty pretty good.

It's amazing how much changes in a year. Over the last year I haven't cried nearly as much as I did the year or two before. I haven't stopped loving and caring..but I haven't crumbled either. GO figure! Sooooo..this is it for now. I love this song...

That Damn Turkey!

EDIT UPDATE: I'M CONVINCED IT WAS THE SPICING UP OF THE TURKEY. i EMPTIED ALL OF THE JUNK OUT OF MR. TOM TURKEY. I TOTALLY WASHED MY HANDS. I'M CRAZY LIKE THAT. THE THING IS...I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT REALLY REALLY GOT SICK. REESES GOT ICKY BECAUSE I THINK HE SNAGGED A BONE!!! SOOOOO, I RUBBED THE SPICES ON AND RUBBED RUBBED RUBBED MR. TURKEY. SOOOOOO LET ME SAY..IT KNOCKED ME FOR A LOOP. I DID GET TO COSTCO AND MISSED NOTHING! I HAVE MADE WONDERFUL TURKEYS AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE...SO GO FUCKING FIGURE!!!!!

I sure could use a little ZEN...right about now. After my Turkey fiasco I'm even contemplating Peta's answer to Turkey.

You read it correctly...Damn Turkey! I sit here this morning, typing, sipping coffee that doesn't even taste good...and I'm in pain. I was up with the man next to me, and the big dog..rolling and hurting, grabbing my tummy...and feeling like death. The only only only thing it could be ....the turkey. Holy Hell is all I can say.

What happened. It wasn't me! I'm telling you it had to be the turkey itself. After making my way downstairs and looking this shit up on the computer...it's looking like the bacteria in the turkey doesn't just "cook off" like in chicken. So, here I am...food poisoning...and feeling like crap. Ugh...I'm not even shopping right now, which shows anyone...the mama isn't feeling well.

Hey...the pies were yummy, though. :) The whole dinner was yummy. I'm just sad it was a complete crap shoot! LOL. The kids seem fine, but then again who knows. Ok the bitching is over..I'm going to have some pepto right now...and see If I feel better.
UGH. UGH. UGH.

Gobble Gobble Gobble...


Have a wonderful day my friends. I have the pie cooking as I type, the Turkey is next to go in, and there is plenty of wine on hand for the cook..:)I'm thinking of you sweeties today. Love to you...and calm soothing nerves from my kitchen to yours. I think it's possible. :)

SAVE ME MOMMY!!!!!

OH MOMMY SAVE ME FROM THE CUTE GIRL!!!
What can I say? She loves our Mocha. Mocha is just a good sweet little puppy. I'm telling you he loves to just be pampered, hmmm but the stroller he could totally do without. If you look really closely he is even buckled in. Yes, he sat still for my girl to buckle him in that stroller.

Cooking, Buying, or Going Out...?????

What are you guys all doing tomorrow? Who's going all Martha Stewart on us? You all know that my guess is Peanutt. She's, for sure, one of our crafty homey little bloggies. Lizzie, are you cooking for that brood of children or are you bringing in? LOL. I have totally contemplated bringing in the turkey from Honey Baked Ham! Look at that dinner.
Now, I think, I'm going to cook it up! I'm a good cook. It was just cooking a huge dinner for just the 5 of us that will be done in like 10 minutes by the little ones. LOL. It is nice to have the left overs and get the turkey smell going in the house. Yummmmmmm!!!!

Who's going to relatives? I'm sure MamaD is getting her babies all dressed up adorably and going to someone's house. Am I getting close, you guys? My favorite Thanksgiving reminder of when I was little is the greenbean casserole. I remember we always had it in the white Corning Ware with the little blue flowers on it. I'm also a pumpkin pie lover with Coolwhip! Ok I'm getting ahead of myself. Yummm I love Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for ....So many things. My family, friends, health, sense of humor..because God knows that gets me through most days, my puppies, and all those special people that make me smile every single day. Love you....XOXO C

ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS....?????



Welcome to the world of my daughter. Let's just say that she is giving, loving and a straight A student. She averaged a 97% for all of her advanced classes in school. We live a nice life...so she dreams big. She gives money at church, volunteers for youth service projects and understands there are others who are not as blessed as she is. She collects $59 for Katrina Victims, all on her own. Ok...so she's a good kids. Got it?!

Here is the Princess's Christmas Wish List...
1 Cell Phone
2 Ipod (a real one like Daddy's not the fake kind like yours..lol) Whatever!!!
3 Jesse McCartney CD
4 Mariah Carey CD
5 Black Eyed Peas CD
6 Kelly Clarkson CD
7 Howie Day CD
8 Simple Plan CD
9 Earrings
10 Jeans..
11 Skirts..not above the knew or below the knee
12 Ugg Clogs
13 Ugg Boots like on Oprah Mommy..!

LOL!!!!!! Yes, I'd say she dreams big. Now...she won't get it all and she'll get a fake ipod like mine. This list was very well thought through, though. She gets major points for effort..LOL!

Welcome To My World

Just a Few Thoughts for a Cold Monday...

1. When do boys/men figure out that they really need to put the seat down. For my little man...it would be put it up before he pees. Hmmm. I'm not going to totally give you the visual, but let's just say somebody had her ass fall in and it wasn't pretty! "Women teach your boys to put the seats down!" Maybe the husbands will follow the boys' lead." Ugh..then maybe not.

2. I'm all for putting lights on the house early, but come on. It's Nov. 21st! Please old lady across the street who mows the lawn in the lovely "housecoat" don't put the decorating in the kids head yet! I know I know...your cheery..but come on! They are going to complain for lights every single day until I put them up. Yes..I do all the handy work around the house. My husband is just not festive. Hmmm.

3. When will I get spooned and not just from the dog. I know I know...I have it so rough, but this mommy really needs a little spooning. Yes..all about me, but so what.

4. Should I just buy the Thanksgiving Dinner or make it. It's only the kids and hubby, but I do love to cook. Sigh. I will be the only one to do dishes and If I'm going to all that trouble to cook for hours I'm eating on the china. Then I'll have to wash it all by hand. LOL...such decisions.

5. I'm going shopping on the day after...just because! I'm going without hubby or kids. Does anyone want to come and join me? Throw on those Nikes and just do it. I need a friend to power shop with me. Ok..just a guy to hold the bags would do, but hubby hates to shop. See a theme? That's why I do it all online, but I'm getting the urge to just go this year. Mmmmmm i'm living on the edge.

I'm done. I'll come up with something cheerier to chat about later. The coffee hasn't hit me yet.

Mocha The Snuggle Bug...



PF..Look at that face! How could you not fall in love with him. He's my loyal baby. He snuggles in with me when I'm feeling lonely. He spoons behind me when I need it. He doesn't yell at me. He comes in if I wave a little lunch meat in his direction. :)When a girl needs a little love...a baby Mocha is a pretty good substitute for anything missing. Ok so no sex and no making out...but lots of cuddling. He loves football, too. He just happens to be a Charger fan.
Love,
Christie

Closing My Eyes...And Dreaming of January 1st, 2006



My friends that is the view I'm going to have on January 1st. Yes, it's ok to hate me now. There's still room if you want to come along. :) If I can talk my hubby into it...I'm sure you guys can too. Oh that's right....some of you actually do the money in your relationships! LOL! Hey, then it's no problem.

That view is almost the same as the one from my room. That is a cabin that's 4 rooms away from mine. There's this great website CruiseCritic that gives all kinds of info and pictures from all the cruise lines. It's awesome. I even Googled the Conquest and typed in my room number and ship. It pulled up all the websites with rooms on the Conquest. My room wasn't on there, but ones close by were! Soooo exciting! Enjoy the view.


Next up my favorite Bloggin' Babes...I have discovered something awesome. We all have those days when we can't stand to take the children out. You know their moods..lol. Sooo when we need an outlet. Right? We have our coffee, our diet coke...mmmmm a little Starbucks and what is left? Our Target.com! That's right babies we can do Target.com and get a semi-fix. :) If you go through Amazon you can even put Target things on your Wish Lists!

Yes...I'm a freak! LOL! I love you guys, though and just wanted to pass on my pearls of wisdom to you all!

Who Else Needs A Nap????

I'm thinking it's about naptime! I could go snuggle in bed and sleep a few hours. I went to the Country Club Y..lol. Yes..more country club than Y. :) I walked 3.7 miles. WHew! Then I went and sat in the sauna. SOooooooo needed. I have the cruise January 1st and my sister is getting married! Sooooo I need to look good. I love having something give me the extra push to get off my ass. Not that being full time mom, wife, housekeeper, taxi driver....laundry doer...isn't an always off my ass kind of life. :) It really is good for the brain.

So, yes my sister is getting married! We have no date, but it's exciting. I called this morning to push for a color choice on this one...and let's just say it's anything but pink. LOL...Yes that's my favorite color. Hmmmm maybe we can get some pink roses in the mix...:)! What do you think Melanie? I'll get some in somehow. What's a wedding without a little pink!!!! Melanie is much more earthy and high maintenance. Erin is easy...but in a High maintenance kind of way. HHHMMMMMM we must get it from Jan (my mom.)

Ok my blogging babes..I'm feeling better. PMS is subsiding, I think. I'm getting in the Christmas spirit. I love this time of year. Just love it!

Talk to you guys soon....

Yes Hunny...There Is Global Warming....

Ok Ok..You know Ms. Me doesn't get political, but come on! There has to be Global Warming. Let's see, we're into (Gamma..next hurricane name,) Next week is Thanksgiving and yesterday I was wearing my Steve Madden's (for Nashville that's hot,)and...Today my friends I'm wearing my Uggs.

So, Mr. President and all the zealots..If Saddam had WMDs then there is for sure Global warming..LOL. Don't stick this mommy in a cellar (undecorated) with 3 kids a big dog, a baby dog...And a hubby barking orders and expect me to come out Happy..LOL. Ok, I'm done.

Yes, the Uggs are out. Ooooh they're so cute, too. The Amazon list for the kids is done and taken care of. The "Happy Holiday" cards are filled out. Yes...Half the family is Jewish, so they're not Christmas Cards. Aaahhhh, I'm feeling a little feisty this morning. I'm for sure going to get a little pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. Oh and the princess isn't going to get an Ipod, like she requested,but she will get a good little MP3. Once she told me she could see her self in the plane on the way to the cruise with her IPod and her music...how could I not try and figure it out? LOL. I really want to get her a cell phone, because she's on the house phone all the time! However, the male adult in the house isn't going for it. He has no clue what it's like to live with a preteen. He's an only child.

I'm off to Yoga in a few. Have a good day friends....

Tornados on the Radar!!!!!!!

Update: Yes, we ended up in the Celler. UGH!! We had tornados all over Metro Nashville. I swear it sounded like a freight train when we decided to go to the hole under the house. (ick..) We're good. It's the worst rain storm I've seen. So, that being said, we were lucky. Now, we need a flashlight! I had my cell phone opened for the light. We need chairs down there and a major light. Oh and everyone with cable has lost it in the area...thank God for Directv. Weather people live for this stuff.
I know my friends in the midwest aren't new to this, but friends...I'm freaking out. We have a line of horrible tornado weather through the whole state, with a straight shot for Nashville.

Ok Ok Ok..I know there it's not katrina or Rita....but I'm from San Diego and AZ. I'm used to sun and nice weather. I don't even have a real basement. We have a Celler and you won't find this woman in a dark place with no light!!!!1


Sooooo think good thoughts my friend. I'm sure things will be fine. I know, I know...this is to show me that yesterday wasn't really as bad as my pity party made it out to be. :)

I wanted to send this in case we lost power. You know it's the South and all the powerlines are above ground...(ugh!)
PS...Lizzie...I'm thinking of you, too....I know they're around there, as well.


Hugs and kisses...

Pass the Midol...

This is a complaining, bitch of a post.

Do you ever have those days where you feel like a failure and nothing is going right. Ugh. Helllooooo! Today is my day. So, since this is MY blog and I don't seem to be able to complain in real life...here I go.

* I have horrible PMS
* I'm sorry you're going out of town and don't want to order pizza. I, however, wanted pizaa tonight, because it's beeen a crappy day. So, no..seriously, don't worry...I'm going to make tacos. It's ok if I feel like crap..at least you'll not have to eat out.
* When do I get to have a bad day?
* This weather needs to get itself figured out, because I need to know how to dress the kids for school.
* When will the laundry end. (hmm..never i know.)
* I soooo need some serious spooning right now.

Ok..I'm done. I better stop, because I could go on for a while tonight. Yes, not your perky Christie, huh.

Dreaming of a Getway...

Let me set the scene for you. I'm having coffee, looking through the paper, freaking out that Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks away...and I have just told my oldest to stop talking. She has been complaining since she woke up. I'm sure it has something to do with her brother waking her up in his total OCD meltdown. He couldn't find his Spiderman Shoes! Now, Why at 6:02AM would he need shoes..because his Spiderman costume needs the matching shoes. I guess he thought Mocha baby came in and grabbed one of the shoes from it's designated resting spot. Help me now. :) So he slammed her door and she was up. UGH.

Since I've told the princess to stop talking she has. However...she's a smart girl. That's right my friends, she's sitting on the other couch using sign language to talk to me. I glare. She explains how I told her she couldn't talk, but she could sign. Calgon take me away.

Where's the husband? Oh, he's sleeping. Remember, he needs his sleep. Yawn. Sigh... and I'm trying not to be bitchy. Today is a new day. My mantra.

As the mantra goes through my brain..I dream of a getaway. Something away from them all. You know where I'm going with this. Ok, I've got tropical coming in January..but I want something with girlfriends.


Relaxing, Cocktails, a little gambling, lots and lots of people watching, and sunning by the pool. Come on...I dare you all! Let's sooooo plan something fun. LOL...we all need it! Remember What happens in Vegas...Stays in Vegas...!!!! LOOK!!!You can get a room with a STRIPPER POLE!!!!!Not that we would do that, but just the thought that we could......:)We could have some fun Share Picture Fridays.

Totally kidding with the Stripper Pole! That was a Holy Crap moment, though. Let's see..."Oh yes, I'd like the special Stripper Pole room, because I'm feeling extra slutty!...Oh, and do you offer Stripper Pole lessons with a local stripper? I need to learn some sexy moves while I'm there?!!!!!!!!!"

Happy Sunday Friends...

Craaaazzzzzyyyyyy...

Happy Saturday My Bloggies.

I just wrote this nice post. Then I realized...lame, totally lame. So, I deleted and started over. I'm having my coffee and doing laundry at the same time. SO this is in between the excitement that would be my Saturday morning.

I could sooo go back to bed right now. I am the Morning Girl, but right now the kids are pounding on the piano, my oldest is telling me how an Ipod Phone is a good deal at $300. Uh huh. LOL. She wants an IPOD....yeah, really.

I have decided that this is what I need this morning...
A little getaway without children.
My body could use a total massage.
A pedicure that would last a nice long time.
A maid to do the laundry and change the sheets.
How about a piano with earphone plug ins...my children sure can experiment loudly.
Someone to design a business website for me.
My daughter to have her own phone line. I never thought I'd say that!
Some serious TLC and Spooning....


Who else needs some yummy time...

Happy Happy Happy...




Thank you to the Veterans. You have given our country the freedom we enjoy every single day. Your sacrifice and loyalty for these United States of America will forever be remembered.



Lizzie Girl made up that hot happy face and wants us to to think of what we're happy for.

So here I go:

"I'm happy I can laugh at myself."
"I'm happy am capable (able to light the log in the fireplace)"
"I'm happy I'm sensual."
"I'm happy I'm a fashion plate. Yep..lol."
"I'm happy I'm computer illiterate. If I were I wouldn't have met all you wonderful Bloggin' Babes."

Thank you friend for having me change it to the positive...:)

PS...a little "grown up" ass shaking music, since no one really enjoyed "my humps"..lol.
Happy Friday Sweeties...

Soooo Needed!


Lizzie has figured out just what we need. It's a different wonderful kind of 12-Step program. Go and figure out if you need this in your life. :)

Then when we figure it out...we can plan a Vegas getaway! You know what they say about Vegas. Mmmmm cocktails, gambling...ooooh and I bet they have a few Ts there!

Just a thought my girlyfriends!

My Bloggie Quirks...

As I write my blogs, I'm always catching myself with my quirks. I didn't realize it was such a habit until I tried to quit using some. LOL...So my sweeties, I'm going to highlight a few of them for you.

1. ...... I use the dots. Guilty. No clue how I started.
2. LOL. Yes I use the LOL quite a bit. I laugh often. It's healthy!
3. !!!! Yes, I realize these are overly used, as well. I just want to show when I'm excited! :)
4. Hunny. I guess I started spelling Hunny this way with my first love. It was a way of being cute. I guess it's never changed. I'm a touchy feely kind of woman.
5. XOXO. Once again, I'm touchy feely. Cutesy probably. I just can't help it. It's my extra special touch.

I'm sure I have more, but that's all I have for now. Those are the big ones. I'm just a little beat today. They're all home and I've got dinner going. I'm off to be domestic.

Lizzie's TMI Tuesday!


If you haven't done the Lizzie's TMI Tuesday Quiz...I dare you! Go over...play there or copy onto your blog. It's fun. It's cute. There's always a little self-discovery involved.


1. Describe the perfect date for YOURSELF... what you would enjoy most.
I'm the romantic, so that's on the table before I begin. I love candles and soft light. My "date" would be with someone who I had fabulous chemistry with. He'd get me. We'd make each other laugh and just be romantic at the same time. Laughter, candles, a little wine, and some serious yumminess. There's my perfect date.

2. What is your worst habit?
Diet Coke...I know I know...!

3. On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you? (1 is lowest, 10 is highest)
Happiness is relative. How about this. I'm not selfish about my happiness. I'm really in a great spot. I'm healthy. I know what life is about these days. I'm good.

4. Do you apologize when you make a mistake? How do you react when someone calls you out?
Queen of apologizing. That's not a great thing. I'm working on that, though..LOL!

5. Have you ever had sex in your parent's home?
I must say that before I was married I soooo had sex in my parents' house. Since being married..yes, but there's something about the risky on the edge kind of sex. LOL. :)

Bonus! Oral or manual? Oooooh very naughty Lizzie! Mmmm...Who doesn't like a good O!

Our Fluff and Her Kidney...

Note to my sisters and non-bloggers. You can still leave a comment! Just click on comments number below and leave me a note! See..you can play, too!
I finished Jennifer Weiner's Goodnight Nobody! I've had it for a while, but I just found other books to read in between. Ok...Loved it! It's a little different from her other reads, because this has a slight "Sleuth Effect." She just has this way of making the reader fall in love with the characters and giving us a good laugh. Her first, Good In Bed, isn't smut at all. It's my FAVORITE of hers. Ok...so take your sweet fingers and head over to our Book Bloggin'Babes Blog and become one of our BB Babes.

On a more serious note...We're going to have to get K all her scans for the Infamous Kidney. It's really hard to find a good Urologist. We once had a great one, but here in Tn..it's a whole different story. Her Nephrologist is moving to another state to a Children's Hospital, so that's another thing I'm going to have to find this week. She was the greatest! Kelsey is healthy and I need to keep her that way. She's my miracle and after her..my life changed. It's amazing how children do that to us. I just get anxious doing all the doctor calls, because it brings me back to those years ago when things were crazy and she was so sick.

I don't live in the past, but I do wonder sometimes. How can I not? It's the way I think. This brain of mine never stops working.

Site Meters..
Have you ever woken up and check your site meter just for the heck of it, only to discover the last person on earth you'd ever think of had found your site. You soooo know who you are. :) It warms my soul.

Ok sweeties...I am sooooo going to starbucks and getting a pumpkin spiced latte. Oh and ours is a drive-thru! So, I don't even have to worry about getting gorgeous..LOL. I can sip it while I plan my Cruise transportation! :)

Target and BJs...

It's official...I have lurkers. I'm an international hot spot. LOL. I have visitors from everywhere. I know about Mat and Bart. They're part of the Bloggin'Babe crowd. I just didn't realize I had visiotrs from Mexico, England, Dubai, Romania...and many more. What kind of American info am I passing along that might be interesting?

So, as I sip my yummy coffee I'm thinking the posts that get comments and international visitors. LOL....Yes friends, it's the naughty ones. I get more comments when I talk about Target and BJs..then anything else.

What does that say about us? Hmmmm Maybe that a shopping trip to Target is as good as Sex!

Happy Sunday. I'm off to read the toy ad from The Big T! :)

I Know I'm Not Cheap...I Think...



Doesn't this look good. It's a yummy Pumpkin Spiced Latte. For anyone that likes coffee and pumpkin pie...OMG! I loved these last Thanksgiving and through the holidays. Here's the thing. They're like $4. Ok...that is waaaay too much money! Once they add tax in, it's pushing $5.

Aaahh..so there you have it. That's really my only Bitch. SO, I guess life is good. I'll go ahead, continue to be cheap...and maybe get the hubby to splurge for one with his cash...:) Sneaky..I know.

That's it my Sweeties...

Rugs and Socks and No Doormat...OH MY!

Lovely, newly, engaged Kristine has another SPF for us.
1. Rugs... You'll see my sweet baby Mocha. Yes, I'd love another baby..but you know Mocha is just waaaaay easier. He's just so loyal and greets me with such love when I walk in the door with whiny babies. :) With the rugs, that I gathered and put out...you'll notice a nice selection of rugs from Which store? LOL.

2. Socks Socks Socks. I don't like my feet too hot. I do like these little pink ones. They save your feet! Socks save feet! Do you hear me. You don't need a pedicure a week to keep your feet nice and soft. Vaseline, socks..and a pumice stone...make for soft sexy feet. Too bad my hubby can't stand feet, in general.

3. You want my Doormat!??? I just put it in the Rubbermaid with the Halloween things! I need one for the "inbetween" time. Before Christmas...and after Halloween. Maybe i'll go pick one up this weekend. We never use the front door, though. We are park in the garage, and in through that door kind of people. LOL. Go figure.


Let us know if you played!

The Bullseye Just Casts A Spell Over Me...!




Is it the Swirling red bullseye that makes us go into a trance and just suck us right in? Does anyone else just get the exhiliration of a trip to the big T! Maybe it's the smell of Starbucks seeping out of the doors every time they open to greet more us as we go in. I just love this store!

In bed last night the hubby was offering up more money for Christmas shopping. I had to promise...yes promise...not to blow it all in the first two days of the month. He went on and on and on. He told me when I called him from Target in the afternoon he KNEW I was calling for him to slide some extra money into my account. I denied and denied. I lifted up my head off the pillow in protest...only to then say...ok well maybe you're right. He then informed me that I call him from Target every time I go and ask him for a little "extra." LOL. Does he know me or what? I am that transparent?

Ugh. Well babes..it's just because they have it all. I can go through and get the kids some popcorn to hold them over until I'm done shopping, a little diet coke for me to get me going...and then the aisles call my name, "Christie Christie Christie...we're such a good deal." I was at the new one yesterday and they have the most GORGEOUS baby furniture! I've seen pieces at some of them, but now full on room displays! They had Gliders...not crap fake Gliders, but The real thing! GOrgeous sleigh bed cribs and matching dressers. Loved it! It was set up into this fabulous room set up. I dashed right over. Loved it!

So, it's official...I could talk about the T forever hours. LOL. Loser..yes I am...but a stylish, happy, "got her fix" loser..:)
PS..their toy selection is awesome this year! Ok Ok..i'm done.
XOXO

Mama Duck's Freebie...



Ok MD, it's not the greatest picture of Captain Feathersword. I thought it might do, though. It's the only one I have. He's there with my freebie, Anthony!

Yummmy! :)
