Are you as excited as I am? I’d love to go this weekend, but I think the theaters are going to be mad crowded. I guess I’ll have to wait a week.

Nothing bugs me more than the women who stand at the coffee station at 7-11, mixing their coffe in their refill cups (but, of course!) with one hand and shoving creamers into their purses with the other.

It’s not liquid gold, folks. And believe it or not, you can actually buy a entire container of the stuff from the Food Lion for about $2.29. How about that?

The only good part about it is that I can stand their stirring my coffee with one hand, while shooting them “you loser” glances at the same time. Steadily staring them down, watching their uncomfortable squirms once they realize that someone thinks they’re a total thieving cheapskate, and watching them rush to the counter to pay.

However, nothing beats quickly getting behind them in line, and commenting to the check out person about how I can’t believe people have the balls to shove creamer into their purses, while the offender rushes to the exit at record speeds.

Fanny Pack Antics

Great website that focuses on tourists and other people who make themselves painfully obvious with their attire and antics.  Fanny packs are a highlight and the pictures are worthy of a Pulitzer prize if there happened to be a people watching ”shame on you” category.

From the site:

“Adding a giant fanny pack to your khaki suit is just the right touch to prove you’re a tourist out to see Washington D.C. and not actually leaping away from your cubicle.”

“No amount of cutesie Disneyland shit would be able to erase the nightmarish gray-haired mullets or Elvira make-up of the visitors.”

Although this is a fairly new website, I think it has enormous growth potential. Feel free to submit your own photos and comments, and maybe, just maybe, your fabulously pathetic people shots will be included.

Adam wanted nachos last night so he went to the corner bar to pick up an order to go. The nachos at this place are HUGE and cheap. $7.50 and that’s one of those tin roasting pans that they’re in. The only thing that concerns me is the amount of sour cream. I understand asking for extra sour cream but c’mon!

All my kids spoiled me, but this is Stephen’s gift to me. Last night after midnight he forwarded me the following e-mail, along with the picture.

I got these for you so I can always remember how much you mean to me. The orchid is the first flower that I ever bought you on a Mother’s Day, and the pansy, because I know they are one of your favorites.

I love you, Happy Mother’s Day!

it’s certainly not a traditional Mother’s Day gift, but then we’re not a traditional family.  I’ve wanted a foot tattoo forever.  A flower.  But I’m a big chicken and won’t go under the needle.  Stephen did it for me, and in the best possible way.  I asked him how it felt, and it did say it was the most painful of all his tattoos.  How’s that for showing mom your love?

Cristin bought me a beautiful orchid and a super sweet card.  It’s huge and full of blooms and couldn’t be prettier.  I have to find the perfect spot for it.  Ethan woke me up with kisses on my cheek and “Happy Mother’s Day” whispered in my ears.  Total sweetnees.  He made me cards in school and hasn’t stopped with the card making.  He just brought me another a few minutes ago.  Last night Adam took me out for my favorite dinner of softshell crabs and gave me money for me to spend at the garden center.  My family made me feel totally loved and appreciated today.  I feel like one of the luckiest women in the world.  I truly have much to be thankful for.

Today we celebrated Mother’s Day at my parents’ house.  We cooked out and had the most fabulous food, which I just happened to prepare.  Honestly, is there anything that beats cookout food?

I hope all of you who are mothers had fabulous days, and all of you who are children spoiled your mothers deservingly. 

And can I just say that I have the World’s Best Mother! I know lots of people try and claim that honor, but honestly if my kids think I’m half the mother she is than I’m better than most of the mothers out there.  My mom is truly one in 80.73 million.  I am certain they broke the mold when she was made.  I could go on and on and on about what a gift my mother is to me and my children.  Her love has always been unconditional and pure.  I am blessed 1000 times over.

Just because they’re so pretty.

Meet my new grandpuppy. Stephen adopted a bulldog puppy. Today he went to visit him, and he’ll be bringing him home in a few weeks. The little guy is not quite three weeks old, and Stephen hasn’t picked out a name yet. He did promise that I’ll get to meet him very soon. They’re both pretty cute, huh?
