Boys will be boys!

Ok, I will start out by saying that the comment "Mr. Puggle" wrote on my last post was the weirdest thing i Have ever read. I did not think that other people actually read this blog, I thought I had it set somewhat privately... I guess not! Anyways, so much stuff has happened the past couple of days it annoys me because I forget. Yesterday me and my friend went to a pet shop and it was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.... NOBODY SHOULD HELP THESE PEOPLE STAY IN BUSINESS!! I think that it is cruel to put those poor animals in little kennels(More than one per kennel) with no interaction from humans, and they looked underfed...they all looked at me like they wanted me to just take them home. All of the white puppies had brown fur under their eyes like they had been crying. their pictures looked like mug shots above their kennels. poor babies, never again will i go in there.

yesterday I cooked! Turkey burgers (which I THOUGHT were supposed to be brown) turns out there white.... duh! I felt like such an idiot when they started cooking and I was thinking the meat was bad. Also, yesterday I found my favorite salad dressing which they never have at Publix because people buy it up so quick, I bought two bottles, expensive dressing. I went to put one of them in the pantry and it exploded all over the place when i dropped it. Greek salad dressing was ALL OVER the carpet. It still stinks!!!! Sucks, I know. I just can;t say enough how good I am in the kitchen ;) Also, the GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) awards were on last night. It was my first time watching. The GLAAD is all about the public perception. They are around to make sure that gays are portrayed in a relistic light because the media can warp our perceptions of things so greatly. The opener was Kathy Griffin with her mother. It was so funny! She was doing an interview type thing.
KAthy: "So when you were growing up what did the word Gay mean?"

her mom: "oh, it was a pleasent word. It meant having a good time and being happy"
Kathy: "If you were gay now what is the woman you would most want to be with"
her mom: she says some old woman who I dont know
Kathy: :"what would you do with her"
her mom: "oh I guess go out for coffee"
Kathy: :"Do you think that your gaydar gets better or worse with age?"
her mom: "worse"

It was really funny, you would probably have to watch it. The award show really got me thinking.... I dont understand why there is so much hate in this world. Americans are supposed to be free but isnt it quite alarming that fellow gay AMERICAN citizens dont have the right to do as they choose. Marriage is a commitment and I do not understand why we say that they cant be commited to each other and gain the benefits that come with it. Did yall know that if you are homosexual you cannot adopt a child through the foster care system in Florida? Even if you are not in a relationship, there is actually a box on the application that asks you if you are homo or heterosexual. But, they do not discriminate against race or religion. It baffles my mind. So a christian child can grow up in a jewish family but not be adopted by a homosexual person or couple. It kinda sucks I guess... maybe it will change one day. And the thing that probably bothers me the most are those people in the religious community (not all) who are SO against homosexuality yet they teach that we are supposed to love thy neighbor as thyself. So contridictory... Just a thought.
Anyways on another subjest, Today work was pretty rough. I cried! Tomeka, my work friend, told me I need to work on my "wall". I also went by BCBG again today...just to look. The girls all recognized me and told me that I am always in there.... that's so sad. I have a weakness for that store. I should go work there once a month to get discounts. So I feel bad that I went. Also, I was just talking to Jamie and she said that my mother went out and bought Kali the same doll that Sara got for her birthday because she wanted it. How f'd up is that!?!?! It is like my mother lost all of her child rearing skills when she had grand babies. All that does is teach Kali she can have whatever she wants and it doesn't matter that it was Sara's birthday. When we were little you better be damn skippy we didn't get a present after someones birthday because we were jealous and wanted it too. I'm scared Kali is going to turn into me. I don't know what happened to me but I hate that part of myself. I am so happy when I have something new, something better. My closet is busting with clothes and yet I still cant seem to stop myself from shopping every week, sometimes more than once a week. I need to find a hobby that makes me as happy as shopping does, is it even a hobby? I don't know.
Now I almost forgot the dumbest thing that happened yesterday when I was going off on my tangents (sp?)(sorry for the randomness by the way). I am always telling Nick not to jump on the bed.... not like little kid jumping up and down but he stands on the floor and jumps into the bed. I have heard the wood splitting before when he has done this. So I am trying to make the bed and I asked him to come in and help me. Well what does h do, JUMP on the bed and what happens? The bed frame breaks. He completely split the damn wood in half (cherry wood). Then I start yelling at him and I told him I was going to call his mom and ask her if she ever taught him not to jump on the bed. He thinks it is so funny! So I got annoyed and went to sleep in the guest room. I am perfectly happy at around 12 when he comes in to get his electric screw driver. He proceeds to "fix" the bed and be very loud while doing it but I was so tired I fell asleep through the noise. Then when he is done (i don't even know what time it was at this point) he comes in the room to put his screw driver up and turns on the light and tells me to come to bed......and then the devil comes out in me! I was in the middle of sleeping, its the middle of the night, NO I AM NOT GETTING UP TO COME TO BED, I'M SLEEPING!!!!! WHY ARE YOU SO RUDE!!!! LOL it is funny now that I think about it, I am a bitch, but please, don't wake me up! Needless to say it is all said and done now, but boy sometimes I swear he acts like a little kid sometimes,like a little boy trapped in a mans body! Will that ever end? I kinda hope not. Gotta love him though! :) Well Im gonna cook, yee haw!

Puggles :(

So yesterday consisted of me shopping for two hours in BCBG. It was awesome. I think that has got to be my favorite store. Last night Nick and I went to a friends house from work. Tons of coworkers showed and we had a great time. I spent half the night trying to talk nick into letting me get a dog. One of my co-workers sister in law is moving to California and she told me if she dosent find a home for her dog by wed she is bringing it to a kennel. I was so sad. It is a puggle, a mmix between a pug and beagle, cute dog. It is the same size as duncan and it just seemed perfect. But Nick is NOT having it. I also did some research on these dogs and apparently they are the "hot new hybrid dog". I think it is sad that these poor dogs are being bred just because they are in right now and more and more are ending up in kennels just like this dog. Im sad we cant save her but I really hope she can still find this dog a home. :(
Me, Nick and Duncan are going on a lunch date. Hope all the fam had a good weekend of birthday parties. Jenn updated me a little and it sounds like the typical Crosbie gathering. Hope to see everyone soon!

:(

We got another wedding invitation in the mail today :(. I swear, this is making me nuts!

wedding invitations :(

I am kinda sad today. I got an invitation to another friend from home's wedding :( I think this makes wedding number 6 that Nick and I wont be able to make it to. It is kinda sad. And today is the beautiful Sara's birthday. I have missed both of her birthdays since I have been here. 11 months to go, :(

A good weekend... minus the throw up in my car!

I had so much fun last night. Friday Nick and I went to the movies, I think I blogged about it. It was nice spending time with my honey for a change! I went to Nick's classmate's house last night to watch the LSU football game. It was a pretty good turn out, about ten of us. The couple who's house we were at last night are so funny. Right when I got there someone said something about a baby being in a closet. I of course asked what they were talking about and the mother yells "don;t judge me!" I started to laugh thinking she was joking but come to find out, her 18 month old was indeed sleeping in the closet. It is the quietest spot in the house. She even made her husband stand in the living room and scream to check to see if he would wake up. Lol.. after the game, my lovely husband lost money in a game of poker. Then we went out in the garage, they have a couch and tv set up out there. I swear I felt like I was back in high school. It was the best. Well by this time everyone but me was drunk. They were taking shot after shot and everyone was seriously lit. The guy who's house we were at tries to ride his 6 year old daughter's barbie bike and then all the guys take turns riding her scooter up and down the street. One of them rode the scooter into a flooded ditch. He did a swan dive trying to make it graceful..It was the funniest shit I have ever seen. I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard....pictures to follow! :) We did not end up leaving until about 4 o'clock in the morning. Nick threw up, (as I predicted he would) in the car.....yea I know, there has been WAY too much throw up in my last few days! Needless to say it was an interesting night full of laughs and good times. This morning when Nick and I went to pick up the car (we drove separate) The mother would not come out of the room because she was so hungover, nick had a bad hangover, and the father was watching the kids, appoligizing (sp?) for jumping in the ditch. lol I really love the people that I have met here and will be sad to leave.
I am trying to book flights to go home at the end of October for our friends wedding and they are super expensive. I just get annoyed because like a week ago they were around 200 bucks less. I hope I get to come home! I read Jordin's blog about Catherine's birthday and I was sad that I missed it. And mom's frivolous shopping, so annoying! I struggle with this. I try to remind myself that it is her money and that she can spend it how she wants but I just worry so much about her. I guess I have always worried about my parents money situation since I was little. It is not like we went without anything, I guess it was from all the fighting when I was little, hearing it, jacked me up in the head. I just want them to have plenty put away and I want my dad to actually retire one day. It's just scary, that's all. I guess they will always have me and my sisters if anything ever happens, God forbid. So I will not say anything else about it :). Anyhoot, I am tired and I still need to clean the clothes off of my closet floor before I go to bed. It seems like this is becoming a nightly thing. I have way too many clothes! Hope everyone has a good week at work/ school. I have decided since Mondays are so dreadful, I will treat myself to a pumpkin spice latte every week to make the day a little better. :) At least until they go out of season, by the way... speaking of season, I made the cutest Halloween cards for my nieces and nephews today. I am so pumped for Halloween, my favorite time of year!!!! I hope I get to carve another pumpkin, it always reminds me of the reulets for some reason.
I will stop now, Jack Johnson is making me sleepy, peace out!

Too many bodily fluids

Today was so gross!!! I had to take two of my kids to the doctor today. They are 1 and 2 years old. I pick them up and get to the doctors office and what happens? The one year old shits all over herself. So I ask for some gloves and go in the bathroom and change her stanky ass diaper. Then right when I finish, I walk out of the bathroom and what else... another stanky ass diaper. I am for another pair of gloves. The two year old had like diarrhea all over the place. It was like they were just waiting for me to pick them up to do this. So I bring her in the bathroom to change her. While I am trying to hold my breath and change her diaper the little one heads for the toilet to put her hands all over it so I run and grab her. We finish and walk in the doctors office. They BOTH start screaming bloody murder, like someone was killing them. For about an hour I listened to them scream and cry. I had to hold one of them down to get a breathing treatment. Then the kid was screaming so much, she throws up ALL OVER ME.... down my shirt and jeans. While I am wiping it up from everywhere, I accidentally stick my hand in it. Then, as if things could not get any worse, they both insist on me holding them. They were using my shirt, with these big pieces of fabric as a snot rag. So at that time I had boogers, throw up and shit all over me. Possibly the most horrendous day of my life... Note to self, NEVER again will I bring kids to the doctor by myself and NEVER will I have kids that close in age. Actually, I am not having kids anytime soon. Too many bodily fluids!

On a cleaner note, Nick and I went to Carrabbas tonight :) YUMO. And we saw the weirdest movie. It was funny but o so weird. It has George Clooney and Brad Pit in it. I am supposed to go out tomorrow night with some work friends and attorney's for the dark side, I shall see... Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I will, the weather has been gorgeous!

I suck at consistency

In case anyone is wondering, I know I suck at blogging... I suck at consistency. I go through spurts of everything! Monday I did card making and cooking, today I cut recipes out of magazines and pasted them to my recipe cards Jenn got me for my wedding, who knows what will be my thing tomorrow.
Last weekend was fun. Some of Nick's friends from school threw an 80's prom party. A friend from work accompanied me to a thrift store and helped me pick out the most obnoxious dress in the store. It had shoulder pads that stuck out about three inches on each side. And for the record... teasing is a bitch. I tried to make my hair big and do the whole bang wave thang. It was hot. I wore way too much blush and very blue eye shadow, Linda 1980's style, if those of you reading this know what I mean! lol
Anyways, I was looking into the teach Louisiana website thing last night and I was getting so stressed out. I think it is going to be harder than I originally assumed it would be. Me and Nick were also throwing around the idea of me moving home on his last internship just because I don;t want to be here again for two months by myself. We could possibly buy a house before he is finished or something. Who knows! I guess in a perfect world I could move home, start school, find a job and live in a house that we buy. It is just so much to think about!!! Life is scary. And it FREAKS me out to think that all of this is possible in only 6 months! I guess we will figure it out, we have to! If anyone has any advise or knows anything about the teach Louisiana program please shoot the info my way.
I am watching this stupid new show on Bravo. It is about this chick who styles for celebrities. Her assistant is freaking out because the other assistant did not organize the dresses correctly from one direction to the other. I want to slap the bitch.
Ok, while I am already bitching I will let people in on a few of my pet peeves... when people put a status on facebook that makes them sound like they are from Plaquemine... I call it plak-min-eese. Example: Sally is going pick up food, Jack is going rent movies....it's like they don't know how to use the word TO! Also, another thing that is so Plaquemine is when people use the back window on their car as gravestones!!!! I don't care who you know that died and neither does anyone else!!! It drives me crazy. And, last one I promise, I am sick of people bitching about the new facebook. If you don't like it, quit using it. That's all ;)
Anyhoot, I guess that's all I have today, 80's prom picks to come!
Oh! I almost forgot, Bon chance (sp?) Jo!!! I hope you get picked to go to France!

A few from this weekend.

Driving down to Ft. Lauderdale, Duncan has to see out of the window.



Nick waiting to play with the big boys. Dad was only happy when he would win! It was so funny.










Duncan hanging out, trying to ignore the crazy people.

What's been going on

This has been a long week. I will start with last week where I left off. I found all of my kids, everything turned out ok. And at this time, I am drawing a blank on anything I did last week :) I love my short term memory. I have been enjoying spending time with Nick now that he is off school, he starts again tomorrow. Work has been good, I left several hours early today. Nick and I went down to Ft. Lauderdale this past weekend to the looney bin. My family is nuts. It was really nice getting to see my dad. They put him and his brother to work on the house almost the whole time I was there. Nick fits in better than me. They played more cards! They made Nick watch them play for hours before he was approved to play. It was funny. Lin and I got to hang out a good bit. We were both PMSing so there was a few squabbles, but we are like sister's, bound to fight sooner or later. Mom told me that they had a lot of people staying at the house through the hurricane. Jamie had a tree on her house, close family friends and neighbors lost a lot, we lost a few shingles, trees and dads new shed. We made out pretty lucky. I guess you don't realize what you have until it could possibly be taken from you. I was really worried. A lot of people said that this hurricane was worse than many they have seen. Thank God everyone is okay and only material things were damaged.
This is totally random, but it seems like everyone I know is pregnant! It is bazarre. Two sister-in-laws, my sister, two c ousins, numerous people at work. I guess it is in the water. Nick told me not to drink any! :)
I bought two new CD's today, Kelly Pickler and Sugarland. I am really digging the Kelly Pickler CD. I would recommend it. I also bought the shampoo and conditioner Jo blogged about recently, I cant wait to try it. Sometimes I feel like I am still a 13 year old girl in Plaquemine, I still enjoy Wal-mart so much as trashy as it may sound. :) I remember when we use to think it was a big deal to hang out at Walmart on a Saturday night. Oh, the innocence! I can only hope my kids will be so sheltered. lol
I am kinds freaking out about going back to school. I was looking some stuff up and realized that I may not be considered a resident when I move back and if so I would have to pay out of state tuition or wait a year. I am trying to figure out a way around this, my only thought was that Nick is still a LA resident and if we are married that may mean I am? I don't know and I don;t want to ask. We will see i guess.
Well, I must go, I have to get my nails done.....

J'espère que tout le monde a une bonne semaine en avant. Pour ceux-là sans le pouvoir, pendre là dedans ! Prendre que Jordin ! :)....freetranslation.com, I failed french people!
