This exciting life of mine
Posted by: | Comments
This picture should give you some indication as to how I am feeling tonight. Yes, I used a straw to suck out the last bit of pepto in the bottle, I was desperate, people, desperate.
I did not take this picture either, Brian went to throw something away and found the evidence of his desperate wife staring up at him. He said "did you use a straw with the pepto?" And I was all like "who? wah? me? no!! Of course, not! That would be crazy and desperate!" And he was all like, "yeah but there’s a bottle of pepto with a straw in it in the garbage."
To which I replied.
"oh yeah. that was me." So, then he took a picture. "For the blog," he says. It’s a family business this blogging is. (and friends, I know I should have recycled the bottle, I know, but that is how out of sorts I am feeling, please forgive.)

On to other non-tummy ache stories, if you don’t mind. Let’s see…did you hear me screaming on Friday? You did? It’s because we came through with t-shirt sponsors for the 5K. Yes, we did. And a water donation, yep, you heard me. And then the Chicago White Sox (which is not my favorite Chicago team, by ANY means) sent me an autographed picture to be raffled off at my event, which makes them by fave Chicago team! (that is totally not true, I’m a Cubs fan. Even if they ignore me when I ask for free crap for my event.) Then, Dick’s Sporting Goods sent me a packet of free stuff…all this on Friday and then there was more, soooo much more, but I do not want to bore you. Let’s just say we are under way! And if you live near Northern Indiana, Northeast Illinois and Southwest Michigan you and your family had BEST be at this event. Got that? I’ll be watching you.
Man, I can be bossy.

On to other news that does not have to do with my 5K.
We went to the county fair last week. Racecar finally faced his fears and went on a ride, which is a big deal because he will not go anywhere near anything that you can ride on or that moves or that makes any noise, he’s an adventurous one, that Racecar is. And suddenly, he said "I WANT TO RIDE ON THE BOAT." I was all over it. You can see why.

So, that about wraps up this edition of what my little family has been up to! I did have to syringe a pea out of Racecar’s nose yesterday, that was fun. And Ariel gave birth to a cabbage patch kid today, it was all very exciting.

I need more pepto.
Febreze Candle Giveaway!
Posted by: | Comments
I was recently given the opportunity to try out the new Febreze candles. Here’s the scoop on these candles:
"Febreze
Candles have an advanced core that can eliminate odors while freshening
the air with a clean scent. Five of your favorite Febreze fragrances
are available, including Apple Spice & Delight™."
I like to relate this product to one particular time, ages ago, when I wanted to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke, so I sprayed my favorite body spray, at the time, Freesia, all over the room to try to mask the ciggy smell. That left me with freesia flavored cigarettes, and every time I sprayed Freesia, it reminded me of cigarettes and I still, to this day, can not stand that smell. All thanks to that experience.
Febreze says these candles will get rid of that not so lovely smell and provide you with a pleasant scent and I have to tell you, it’s true. Very true. (without going into details, I can tell you…it’s true.) I’m also impressed with the burn time, last week I burned this candle for eleven hours and there’s still plenty of candle left. And I look forward to burning it, to be honest with you.
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU! I’m giving away an Apple Spice and Delight Candle to four lucky winners! All you have to do is leave a comment at this post by Thursday evening, August 2nd at 11:59 pm EST, AND link back to this giveaway on your blog. Share this contest with your readers! Don’t have a blog? That’s okay, just leave a comment!
Winners will be announced on Friday, August 3rd.
GOOD LUCK!!
Free Coffee, LCD’s and more
Posted by: | CommentsYallz know how I loves me some coffee. But free coffee? Forget about it. Go here and get your own bag of free gourmet coffee, I personally LOVE Folgers. (unlike my fickle blogging counterpart, DCRMOM, who despises Folgers, It’s okay, we’re still friends. And yes, that is her real name.)
Anyway, click away:
(thanks Jodi, for the tip for free coffee, my coffee addiction thanks your coffee addiction from the bottom of it’s very large cup.)
Also, the winner of my Smart Set Alarm clock giveaway is Nancy over at From the Heart. Her new clock has been shipped and is on it’s way!
Speaking of giveaways, have you heard about what the girls are giving away over at 5 Minutes for Mom? None other than a monstrous FLAT SCREEN LCD HDTV MP3 JPEG C3P0 R2D2 MGZ, or a monitor, you know, for free. The drawing will be held on August 17th and is brought to you by the friendly folks at Best Buy.
And finally, not to be outdone by some silly little flat screen TV, which I’m totally going to win, I am hosting a great smelling giveaway on Monday (which is tomorrow!) courtesy of Febreze, so come back on Monday, ya hear?
Blogging is so hard after you have stuffed yourself silly
Posted by: | CommentsOh My Lands. (do people really say that?) I am stuffed to the gill. (do people really say that?) Tonight we ordered pizza, some of my favorite pizza and I could not stop eating it. Afterwards, I was trying to mop my kitchen while rolling around and well…it was tough considering I thought my stomach was going to rip open and pizza would come flying out like a volcano eruption. It’s not comfortable, it’s stupid and I wish I wouldn’t do it, but pizza is so good.
While cleaning and popping rolaids, I was thinking that pizza boxes should have warning labels on them like cigarettes do, it would read like this:
-The Surgeon General warns that pizza is freakin’ good. Even reheated.
-The Surgeon General warns that if you like cheese or bread to stay away.
-The Surgeon General warns that if you like garlic to stay away.
-The Surgeon General warns that if you like to eat, do not, he repeats, do not eat this pizza.
-The Surgeon General warns that you may not move after eating.
-The Surgeon General warns that you will not eat just one two three pieces half of the pizza.
-The Surgeon General warns that even after eating half of the pizza, you will continue to eat the pizza.
-The Surgeon General warns if you are on your period or pregnant or a woman, to just stay away from the crap.
-The Surgeon General warns that if your husband takes the last piece without asking when you wanted it (even though you were not hungry at all) he may die or at least lose a finger.
-The Surgeon General warns that just because you only have one ginormous slice on your plate, that does not count as one serving, you idiot.
-The Surgeon General warns that you do not need two pizzas for two adults and two toddlers, you big fat pigs.
-The Surgeon General warns that you will have gas. But he knows you won’t care.
-The Surgeon General warns that if you have garlic sauce and/or cheese sauce that comes with your pizza, that you will search for anyone’s leftover crust so you can dip it in the sauce. You know it’s true.
-The Surgeon General warns that if you can’t find someone’s leftover crust, you will eat another slice just to have the crust to dip in the garlic sauce. You know that’s true. too.
-The Surgeon General warns it will cause you to walk around with your pants unbuttoned. Even in public.
-The Surgeon General warns that even after reading this label, you will still stuff yourself silly.
Don’t even get me started on chocolate.
