The Dog




Dog hair

        Dog Hair EVERYWHERE!
                                                    source


I have vacuumed three times today


The front storm door never looks clean because the dog presses his wet nose against it


He scratched the paint off the window sill, because he is always on the lookout for squirrels
                                
                                      source


He tracks in mud
                              source




and he just pee'd on my potted rose bush...again
              source


I yell ...

   "Who was the idiot that decided we needed a dog!?"





The whole family in unison yells back... 



                              "YOU!"


Yep, it was me.


I look at the dog, smile and pat his head

How to walk in heels




Recently I went shopping with a friend.

          We hit all the stores in the outlet

                  Then we hit the shoe store


She tried on heels that I felt were impossible to walk in.
She walked perfectly fine
                                      



I tried some on and tried not to fall flat on my face
                                     
                                                   source

All I did was show everyone in that store how NOT to walk in heels


I hope they appreciated my tutorial




But if you need a bit more help...here is a short video
                       
           
                   uploaded by: 

Or you can be like me and stop the madness and just wear flats!

Time for Peanut Butter



Time for peanut butter
                       
                    
                             source


                   YUCK!


My son doesn't like regular sandwiches like ham and cheese or turkey on rye

                                               
                                                                 source

Even the BLT's are taken apart so that he eats the B, then the L then the T

He will however occasionally eat a plain old peanut butter sandwich for his school lunch.


I haven't purchased peanut butter since the end of the school year in June.


It's on my grocery list today.



I guess back to school is really gonna happen
I guess the end of the summer is nearing
no more flip flops



Time for peanut butter...

Tornado



Tornado.
              
                        source


That's what I am blaming it on.


       My house looks like a tornado passed through, followed by a hurricane, sprinkled in an earthquake or two and it was finished off with a mud slide.



But it all started off with a tornado






a small, cute little boy tornado.

Are You a Good Arguer?




Are you a good arguer ( sheez, is that even a word?)
                         
                                        source

when someone hurts your feelings can you respond appropriately or do you babble something akin to the old
                                    
                                                 source



"I know you are, but what I'm I?"





I am an excellent arguer ( spell check tells me this is a word, but it just looks weird)

I am an excellent arguer... after the fact.
                              
                                             source

I can come up with the greatest wittiest responses about an hour after the altercation or even late that night while asleep.

I will sit up in bed and yell...



 "Oh Yeah?! Your momma!"



now that I think of it...maybe I'm not good during or after

Pain

Yesterday I felt fine....then the aches started to creep in.

My back felt like it was in knots

The knots got tighter

Until it became one big fat ball of pain

Which made me sleep like this last night
                                   
                                                            source



Needless to say, I woke up in even more pain and so very tired.

But being the ever optimist.....


at least now I can audition to be one of the Disney characters in Disney world

Have a great Sunday!

Who Reads Your Blog?

2nd post.


I didn't really think there would be any comments on the last post...in fact I would have been very very surprised if there had been.


anyhoo,  I think I will start this post with a question.

Who reads your blog?

When you first started your blog what was the reaction from the people you told?

Luke warm?

They they sort of frown and ask " Why?"

Been there done that. In fact, one of my good friends said "well, what if I don't like anything that you write?

not..." Hey, good for you!"

no ..." I'll have to check it out!"

just...."What if I don't like it?"

I should have known better. As time passed by and more and more followers appeared to follow the blog I was thrilled, but also confused that the people nearest to me did not read my blog at all.


What was up with that?

I got over it and suddenly I realized that it would have been better if they didn't know about the blog at all. You see there inevitably is a big difference in your writing when you actually know the people that are reading your blog.

If they are virtual strangers you can write about how filthy dirty your house is and how the same dishes have occupied your sink for the last two days...people in Blogland would comment with tons of LOLs and Me Toos

But it ain't so cool if the women at church read that little tasty bit of information

So who reads your blog? Did you tell everyone that you were writing a blog? ...or are you a covert 007 kind of blogger?


For the record there are no dirty dishes in my sink right now...just sayin'

Brand Spankin' New

Hi Everyone!

                Welcome to my brand spankin' new blog. I have been blogging for quite a while now but this is the first time that I will tell no one that I know. Fresh and new I will start again and the only ones that will read this blog are people that don't know me at all.



I'm excited.


          I'm stoked


                   Now for the explanation of my blog title....simple....I ain't perfect...nowhere near perfect... and you know what? I have learned to embrace the non-perfect me and roll with it.

I learned to like burnt toast, because I would give the good toast away.
                                   
                                                   source

I learned to love frozen butter because my Mom would constantly forget to take the extra butter out of the freezer.

Chipped plates?...
                                      
                                                       source
               Well that's because I belong to a butter finger family.

So this is it for now.

Hope you stick around and I hope I do too!

God Bless, J
