Honest Scrap

Thought I would play, I tagged myself from Putting the fun in DysFUNctional, the deal is, first you list 10 Honest things about yourself. Then, you tag 7 people to play along on their blog.

1. I will re wear an outfit I wore the night before if it's not dirty (at the rate my wardrobe is, and nothing fits, when I find something cute I use it as much as I can!)
2. I put 4 tablespoons of sugar in 16 oz of coffee. May sound gross but that is my way for coffee.
3. I get freaked out by all the clutter and shit in this house, I usually just end up shoving it somewhere for the time being. I long to have the home of less CLUTTER!
4. I loved my short pixie hair, I love my long hair too. I hate the in between hair, it blows!
5. I am a proud Britney Spears fan. (yes I have my ticket to the April show)
6. I love hip hop music. (don't be confused with Rap, which I like some, but hip hop is so much different) (try Missy Misdemeanor Elliot!)
7. I know there is an OCD organizing freak in me just dying to get out!
8. I hate to say this but... I cut coupons. And I NEVER. never, use them. It should be illegal I know.
9. I also have those environmentally friendly shopping bags, and forget them 99% of the time.
10. I am on a coffee buzz so high right now, I want to clean the whole house for Spaghetti when he get's home from work!

There are my 10, tag yourself if you read this, let me know if you play!

Purse Tag!

I was over at Jen's blog, Buried with Children, and saw that she had a fun post and I tagged myself in to play the Bag Tag game. Here are the rules...

1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.

2) I want to know how much it cost:) And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear it.

3) Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your diaper bag/non-diaper bag.


Here it is, the company All My Memories (AMM) and Vituri got together and made this amazing purse (also available in Black) it's my newest purse, and it's big. Like mini diaper bag big, but still a hot purse for mom to carry.

It needs to be big enough for...
Wallet
Sunglasses (damn snow glare!)
Starbucks planner
Stride gum
Camera (never go anywhere without it!)
Gift card wallet (yes we have a wallet just for gift cards)
Personal recorder (blog idea's, to do list, interview with toddler)
Cell phone
2 pens (in case one dies!)
Chapstick (my new favorite is Nivea)
Notebook (for notes, random thoughts, doodling)
Nail file, lotion, Shout wipes to go, Tide to go pen, antibacterial wipes, dental floss, Bagel hair ties...


Price? Retails at $49.99, but with my 30% off coupon at Archivers (scrapbooking store) it was $34.99!! AND the wallet is included. You can't see but the wallet has 3 windows for pictures too.


AND it's patent leather is perfect for wiping off Weaky's spit up (yes we have tested it!) here are my beloved purse and wallet features...



The Vituri™ Patent Handbag features:
• Fashionable, patent leather exterior
• Three external photo windows on purse for showing off your loved ones
• Metal feet on bottom of purse to provide durability and stability
• Durable shoulder straps
• Internal zippered pockets
• Handbag Dimensions: 10H x 12.5W x 5D

The Vituri™ Patent Wallet features:
• Fashionable, patent leather exterior
• Detachable shoulder strap
• Three external photo windows on purse for showing off your loved ones
• Secure interior credit card pockets
• Window pocket for driver’s license
• Convenient pen loop
• Zippered internal coin pocket
• Wallet Dimensions: 4H x 7W x 1.5D

Thanks for letting me brag about my pretty bag, I do also carry a diaper bag, and that was my purse too for a while, but I have way to much stuff that I was tired of compromising on for the sake of diaper bag space.

I have to say the wallet for my purse has this detachable shoulder strap that makes the wallet into a great mini purse!

Kreativ Blogger you and me!

Look at me! I got an award! Fancy pants! Thanks to my new sister Becky, she has awarded me a blog award! But not just any old blog award! This one comes with a job!! And even though I put off any type of job like it's the plague, I will do my best to follow through with my new job, as Kreativ Blogger.

Here are the new job rules.

I must post this pretty new award in a blog.

I must post 6 things I value

I must post 6 things I do not value

I must tag 6 bloggers

That is it. If I tag you, take your award with pride. Here are mine, in no particular order

6 things I value

1. Family first rule- Always family first, turn off the t.v., call your friend back, get off the computer. Spend time with family. It doesn't happen enough.


2. Laughter- Goes hand in hand with happiness, smiling, all that good stuff that makes you warm and fuzzy.


3. My Pets- There company is unmatched. And there loyalty is nonhuman. Love them.


4. Technology- With out it I am lost. We all are. No cell, no internet, no t.v. we would die.


5. Myself- I value myself, not in an big ego kind of way. But more of a I am proud of who I am, what I do and how I act. Self esteem is something I have, not over cocky but strong.


6. Every minute- Use them. I love to use every minute I can, I mean your life isn't really that long, and so I do everything. I rock out in the car by myself. Who care what the douche bag next to you thinks. You need to make the time to do it. Yes I am busy, I have kids, pets, house, and a stay at home business that I run. But I still find the time to read, draw, stamp, scrapbook, play with my kids, take baths and hang out with Spaghetti. Use your time wisely.

6 things I do NOT value

1. Haters- From my free spirit, to the fact that I own a home. I really hate haters. They just need to understand I make the best of what I got. Go on and do your own thing. Get your own damn haters then...


2. Fake- Don't be fake! Don't pretend to be cool, or what you think is cool. For fucks sake, I graduated H.S. Get over yourself!


3. Overly Religious- Bah, don't get your knickers in a bunch. I just can't stand those people, Christian, Jehovah, whatever, DO NOT JUDGE ME. I will not go to hell, I am no less then you are, and seriously, Religion is good for you and all. But some people need to get a fucking hobby.


4. Negativity- Ugg! I can not stand when someone is going on and on and on and on about something. It won't help the situation. And now you just annoyed everyone around you. I mean I do bitch about things but some people really need to chill, and realize that when you think your getting a 6" paper flower and you get a 2" paper flower, it is not the end of the scrapbooking world.


5. People that lack social skills- Kinda weird but I find that there are people out there that just don't get the basics of social life her on earth. Like conversation. Not saying you have to be like me and start a conversation in the bathroom, but maybe if your in mixed company, attempt to converse. Or just understand why your not liked, since you don't choose to converse in company. Tipping. I don't work anymore where tipping was a part of the norm. But when you don't tip because you just don't have the money, you probably shouldn't be out anyway. (I get not tipping an asshole because they suck) Spaghetti serves beer at a famous baseball stadium, and tips are HUGE part of his income. Tip after each beer, yes it's his job, but just like waitress's and stripping. Tips are a part of there life. Staring. This one is in particular to my sister, Frances, I can't stand going to the hilly billy ass towns around us and seeing the inbread freaks STARE at her. Dude, she doesn't have 8 arms, just a little head turning. But the best part is when the parents are staring too. What a joke.


6. Racism and Homophobes- Two things I DO not like. Period. I have no respect for people who are racist. I hate the "dot head" comments, or the Arabs that want to run a Dunkin Donuts, what the fuck does it matter? I mean really, they just want what our families wanted. A better life here in America. The "N" word sends me through the roof, seriously what century do you live in? Ugg, and since I am whitebread myself, I am in a small 99% whitebread town, next to a 99% whitebread town. So of coarse there is comments. But I have been learning that I have the balls to say something. Not rude, but just a "what does there color or race matter?" comment usually reminds them that not everyone is whitebread, and that is fine with me. Homophobes suck. Period. You really again need a century check. If it makes you uncomfortable, then maybe you just need a bit more culture in your life. Really you do. I attend the Gay Pride Parade, two years now. And I love it. I go with my cousin and his partner, and Aeriel goes along as my date to the parade. Gays are just like you. No really they are. Eating, sleeping, pooping, breathing, there choice of partner should not be why you judge them. Judge someone by there character, and who they are. And if a book is telling you that it is wrong to be gay. Maybe you should look outside your thousand year old book, and realize it's 2008.

OK now that I am off my soapbox about all things good and evil, here are my 6 tagged...
