I'm Back and with Pinterest!

It's been a few days, but I don't want to give up yet.

I found it's a lot more amusing when I blog either high on cold medication or lack of sleep. Lucky for everyone, it's just lack of sleep today because...

I tried to sleep in a bed last night with the Geico pig! Why was this person up all night squealing? I have no clue. I think my days of co-sleeping are coming to an end. However, I'm not talking about my husband. My little squishy is almost a year old now and needs to start pulling her weight around here starting with sleeping in her own bed. I still can't believe she is that big already!

And speaking of a first birthday, I have decided to try to find cute ideas for a little party. I started my journey into Pinterest. I never understood the hype until I went and checked it out for myself. It is a place of true wonder, ideas, beauty, weirdness, and downright creepy. I love it. I have yet to get any ideas for her birthday, but I did run across a really creepy picture. To most, it's probably cute and really girly. Two things I am not.

It is a picture of a pregnant woman cake with a foot sticking out. I have no idea why it creeps me out so much, but the thought of cutting a piece makes me shiver over my own C-section. Nonetheless, it's cake, and I would still eat it. I just wouldn't want to be the person delivering it.

Another thing I found on Pinterest that I tried. Did not work. I wanted to find quick and lazy ways to make household cleaners. I'm finding out it's so much easier and lazy just to buy the stuff! I tried the DIY oven cleaner made with only baking soda and water. By the time I was done and let it dry, I thought I should be down in the nude for my new makeshift cocaine factory. It only left a huge white mess everywhere and cleaning it was a joke! This is the time when you wish someone from church would come over. Don't forget to put a little  "baking soda" on your nose to get the full shock value.

Still Trying...

Well, I'm sitting here today with a nice glass of Nyquil and homemade Kleenex tampons in each nostril pronouncing my name as "Dayda." I know...not a classy side of me if there ever was one.

I am still trying to figure out this whole blog thing. I went on a blog quest yesterday, and I read some really nice ones that were so informative on different issues. Some even started out with such beautiful life quotes. Yeah, the only quote I can think of is...

"Friends are like butt cheeks, crap may separate them, but they always come back together." - Unknown

Since, I really didn't think I should start out using that quote, I won't. I'm really thinking mine is going to be like the Seinfeld of blogs. No point. However, I'm okay with that. This is sort of fun in an odd unfamiliar way.

So, I went to Old Faithful Google and searched, "What are you suppose to blog about?" Nothing really came up. It's like blogging is this vague unknown mystery. Then I went to Dictionary.com and found

Definition:	an online diary; a personal chronological log  of thoughts published on a Web page;also  called Weblog, Web log
Example:	Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect  the personality of the author.
Etymology:	shortened form of Weblog
Usage:	blog, blogged,blogging v,blogger n

Ah ha! Maybe I am doing this right? I can actually go online and spew the warped things that come from my pulsating brain shown by the throbbing vein in the middle of my forehead! This will "reflect the personality of the author." Sadly, I don't really know how to type or spell the evil laugh I do. I guess just try to imagine me doing this as I type my new precious blog:

If you don't get it, just smile and nod. Better yet, just squeeze out a courtesy laugh. The awkward laugh one gives to strangers who come up and say something completely not funny. I like to do that on occasion just to see who will give me a courtesy laugh.

Well, I hope all who read this have one heck of an awesome day! Do a good deed and give a good believable courtesy laugh to someone who crosses your path. I'm off to take some Robitussin shots!

(I just had my oldest daughter read this before I published it, and she gave me a true courtesy laugh. She's got my back...)

My Very First Blog Post!

Today, I was reminded about this place called Twitter. I've had an account for a couple years now, but I don't frequent is as much because I'm not a short worded person. So, I thought, "What the heck! I'll start a blog to bore everyone!" So bear with me on my new journey of bloggerism (Yes, I just pulled that one out of my...)

What am I going to blog about? Good question! My brain is full of farts about life. It does not work on the frequency of others. I'm a very sarcastic and realistic person. Things I read on a daily basis stick out to me, and I must share my thoughts before my brain pops. This comes from deciding to stay at home and take care of my herd of children. I have tortured many good coworkers with random brain farts and commentaries on life. Now it's your turn, my new victims. Basically, I will probably blog about life, hobbies, children, food, life, events, funny stories, pictures, business and life.

Outside of all this, I am a very nice person (You better freakin' believe me!). I do love people and love to laugh especially at myself. That is the only way I stay out of an insane asylum. I am also a natural pro at spoonerisms (I'll let you Google that one) and have past it on to my children. Our conversations with each other are scary, but we understand one another.

I cannot wait to start this new hobby on top of raising six children that include three teenagers, seven year old twins, and a ten month old! Please, don't look at me like that. I also love to do photography and art from sketching to painting, brushing my hair and teeth, clipping my toenails so that my feet fit in my shoes, losing my glasses that are on my face, drinking pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Random thought of the day: Did you know that you can avoid having muffin top by having camel toe? And you can avoid having camel toe by having muffin top?
