I’m not
I’m not having a good day.
I’ve already had so many negative things happen, it sucks.
I really want to write about the Civil War thingie we went to. So fun!!!
My sons wanted toy rifles, but they were $18 and my childrens track record for toys lately is terrible.
As in: Broken within 10 minutes, lost within a day, trash within a week.
It’s not cool.
This is why my children will be having a very strange christmas this year.
They will be getting a giant pile of books and a few outfits. They will be making a list of their top 5 toys and I will try to select ONE of those things to buy them. I also hope to have enough money to get them each a $20 or $30 gift card to Toys R Us… when they show good stewardship and responsibility for the ONE TOY they receive, they will get to go to Toys R Us and pick as many toys as they can get for the amount on the card. Granted, that’ll probably be only ONE other toy, but that’s enough.
My children are flippant little spoiled brats. They need to learn how to appreciate things.
I remember my childhood. I was pretty spoiled too. But I still have almost EVERY piece of Barbie furniture and almost all of the dolls I had. I took great care of my stuff because I treasured it. Hell, my little sister still has my talking Julie doll, the first little robot friend they ever made and was way ahead of it’s time. It freakin had voice recognition software inside of it. but it was glitchy and wanted to have parties all the time.
but I’d say "Julie" and it would blink and say "yes?" and I’d say "Lets play a game!" and she’d giggle and we’d play some weird game. Or we’d sing songs…
It’s scary now that I think about it…
but that doll STILL EXISTS.
I would wager my sons have about 3 toys a piece right now and they still don’t act like they care.
little monsters.
I do want to get a tree though.
a real one.
baboo wants a fake one.
bah!
I’ ve had fake trees every year, I want a real one this year!
but oh well, we’ll see.
I leave work in about half an hour.
I always skitter away 5 minutes early and nobody notices… and they won’t again today! muahahahahha!
I finished my book this weekend. Rhapsody. I liked it. It makes me want to write.
Speaking of… nano suffers still. maybe i’ll write tonight.
i probably won’t. I’m not worried about it. I think I’ll get it done. We’re only on the second week…
my goal tonight is to finish making my living room nice…
or whatever it’ll be.
I’m not sure if nice is the word.
maybe livable.
why haven’t the zombies come?
I need a reason to survive.
ha ha.
i’m kidding.
blah.
so here’s something gross.
i’m on my period, right?
And I’m thinking… in a zombie invasion… would you really be able to attend to that simple basic need?
Or would you have to run around bleeding all over.
and attracting zombies to your hot fresh blood flow.
Gross?
BUT THINK ABOUT IT!!!
You won’t really be able to stop at the store and pick up some tampons or some pads… and if you have to choose, you’d probably go for the food before you went for toiletries. And when would you have time to change said feminine things when you’re just trying to not get eaten all the time?!
might be a good idea to have some of that in the emergency zombie kit I want to make. If you find a good stronghold, it might not be such a problem, but preserving would be key. I imagine we’d have to learn how to make home made ones… out of what?! ahhhh….!!!!!
just sayin.
*blinkety*
I gotta pee.
Emergency Zombie Kit. Hmm. Interesting. My daughter is spoiled and doesn’t value anything, either. I was kind of the same way. *shrug*

Ooh yes… A real Christmas tree! I will get one this year. It’ll freak the crap out of my guys…my main impetus to do so. Lol!

Dude… when the Canadians invaded (er, my NaNo) my female lead character was estatic when the male lead brought her shampoo and fresh panties. I was thinking this morning… she’s going to be ragging it at some point in the story… is she going to have to run from the Canadians with ol’ blood-encrusted jeans or will HE bring her something. To be honest, when he got supplies (food and what not), he also got a few boxes of condoms (she doesn’t know about it yet). I know what’s on his mind… I’m just saying…

Real trees are a fucking nightmare. So messy! URGH. I was finding pine needles for weeks after.

Zombies are real. I see them walking the halls where I work all day long. And you’re right…I kinda don’t have a lot of time to change feminine stuff. Not with the zombies and their constant neediness.

I have always had an issue with this american tradition of putting ourselves in debt every year to buy our kids extravagant gifts they don’t need. Blech!

I can’t wait to have a real Christmas tree this year. We always had a real one growing up and then we found out my mother was allergic to pine trees and she’d have asthma attacks every Christmas-so we’ve had a fake one for the past couple of years. But not this year! This year I’m getting a real one!

I don’t think I was spoiled, we didn’t have a ton of money so I didn’t get that much stuffs.

Lol I wonder weird things like that zombie period thing all the time… I’m always asking that question when I watch movies. That, and- how do they go to the bathroom? Like if someone’s tied up or locked in a box or something… Gross. Anywho, I love love love real christmas trees! Oh please get one for me! I can’t have a real one in my apartment 🙁

Rags. Heck, just jamb them in your pants, and when a zombie is chasing you, you’d be able to throw it and the smell would distract him whilst you got away (and got another cloth). That counts as a bonus instead of a downfall, right?

EWWWW but im glad someone else finally thought of this

Warning Comment

We’re opposite.. always had real ones and I wanted a fake one!
Warning Comment
I think about this kind of stuff all the time too. What did they use in the cowboy days? ew… Stupid f’g periods…
Warning Comment
That is a good question. Also just keep in mind that any pets you have might consider a real tree as indoor bathroom facilities. Just fair warning. Hehe. Take care hun.

I’ve noticed you’ve got Ghost Hunters listed in your Interests! Neat-o! 🙂 We really like that show too! And just do what you can for your sons. I’m sure they’ll either have to appreciate what they get or do without! “Shrugs shoulders.” And that zombie thing is TOO FUNNY! LOL!

That was a good choice deciding not to get the toy guns. $18 is way too much. That’s a good point about what a woman would do during that time of the month during a zombie attack. I never thought of that before!
