Sunday Stealing - Have You's and What If's

Today we ripped off a blogger named Bud Weiser (Because we do not think it has ever been done so far) from the blog: WTIT: The Blog It was combined from two different memes from a feature he ran once upon a time called Sat-8. He says he got it from someone named Lola. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. 

Take the time to comment on other player's posts. It's a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing! 

Sunday Stealing: Have You’s and What If's! 

1. Have you anything to confess today?  I know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.  No, I'm not telling.

2. have you ever broken a law? If so, what was it?  I'm sure in no particular order, speeding, stealing, jaywalking, loitering, cruising, under-age drinking, criminal mischief, criminal trespass, public intoxication.... and that was just in one weekend!  WHOO LAWDY!  Good times... good times.

3. have you ever committed an act of betrayal against a friend or family member? explain.  I'm sure my sister and I have had it out for one another.... as I have with other family members but while I'm all about full-disclosure, there's also a thing called TACT -- which I happen to be a master of -- and therefore, this is neither the time nor the forum for such discussions.  

4. Has someone else done something that, to this day, makes you cringe when you think about them committing the act?  Yes.  It was a full-on scream session with my ex... while he held my son... screaming at me... I wasn't screaming back... I was watching my son's face because he had no idea what was going on.  Scary.

5. Have you ever found yourself sexually aroused by someone that you absolutely should not have been?  Hasn't everyone?  I think to say no means you're a big, fat liar!



6. have you ever cheated at school? how so?  I'm sure there was a time at some point where we all sat down and copied something blank for blank when we'd forgotten it in our lockers.  Do I advocate cheating?  Absolutely not.  However, do I know it happens?  Yes.  Is there anything you can do to avoid it?  Sure... have no life and never forget anything ever.

7. What if you came across a backpack stuffed with one hundred thousand dollars. Would you keep it?  Nope.  I'd spend it.  DUH!  Just kidding.  I'd turn it into the po-po.  

8. What if you were the most powerful person in the world. How would you use that power?  What makes you think I'm not?

9. What if you found a magic lamp?  I'd do magical things.  Duh.  

10. What if you could change one thing about the world. What would that one thing be?  Everyone would eat rainbows and poop butterflies.  Picking ONE thing would be just about impossible... Perhaps erase hate.  If people weren't capable of hate, perhaps there'd be much less discord among nations.  Eradicate disease.  Provide sustainable, renewable energy that doesn't cause pollution.  End hunger.  Make sure the Kardashians never had another tv show again.  Or the Jersey Shore losers.  Erase all reality tv shows!   

11. What if you could take one thing back. What would that one thing be?  This pair of shoes I bought that were too small, but lost the receipt to.... and then forgot to mail back so now I'm stuck with them.  I HATE when that happens!  

12. What if you were stuck on an island forever but had all the water, food and shelter you needed. What would you do?  Find me a volleyball to carry around as my best friend.  I'd likely go nuts... have a great tan... and become an excellent hunter.  Because, doesn't everyone want a tan hunter who is psyco?  


13. What if the internet didn't exist?  That means that I took the wrong pill.  Damnit!

14. What if you never started blogging?  I would have lots more hand-written journals with less visual aids.

15. What are your November 22 Thanksgiving plans?  To wake.  To cook.  To greet.  To eat.  To sleep.  In that order.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - Day 17

I'm just gonna cut to the chase today.

Today, I'm thankful for laxatives.... because otherwise the world would just be full of shit.

Saturday 9 - Live and Let Die

 It's Saturday so you know what THAT means -- It's time for The Saturday 9!  

1) "Live and Let Die" was nominated for an Oscar as best song. Do you have a favorite movie song? I do not... I enjoy music based on my moods and so one song would never be a constant favorite... regardless of the movie.  There are some great soundtracks out there, however!

2) The latest Bond movie, Skyfall, is crazy successful. Have you seen it/do you want to see it?  Doesn't everyone?!  I haven't seen it yet, but I will.  Likely not in the theaters, though.  I don't ever seem to have the time to go to the movies.

3) What do you think makes Bond movies so enduringly popular?  Everyone loves a good mystery... he has the coolest cars... gets to utilize the most ingenious technology... get to shoot people... gets the girl.... What's not to love?

4) Do you have a favorite among the actors who have played "Bond, James Bond?"  Well, Pierce was more my age group so those were more "modern" and liked at one point... but Roger and Sean were AWESOME as Bond!  

5) Bond orders martinis -- "shaken, not stirred." What's your regular drink order?  Water, with lime.  Yes, I'm boring.  Suck it!

6) Moving from the bar to breakfast -- do you have a favorite cereal?  Steel cut oats cooked overnight with vanilla almond milk, diced apples, cinnamon and some Splenda brown sugar blend.  

7) Let's daydream about warm weather. Would you rather swim in a lake, the ocean, or an outdoor pool?  While there's something oh so inviting about swimming in the ocean, I'm not too hip on the fact that you can't see what's lurking beneath you.  Plus, I'm not a fan of the idea of being something's snack -- so I'll take a swimming pool any day.

8) Did you get 8 hours' sleep last night?  Surprisingly, yes!  

9) What are you wearing on your feet right now?  Nothing, my feet are NAKED!  GASP!  (Does this mean my blog is rated R now?)  

30 Days of Thanksgiving - Day 16

Oh November.... the month to ponder all things thanks-worthy....and that leads me to ... dum dum dum duuuummmm dummmmm (that was supposed to sound quite fantastical if you say it out loud with increasing octaves).  No?  Well, it did in my head

Today I am thankful for MUFFIN TOPS!!!

Just to clarify, however, I am NOT talking about THESE.... and you know she thinks she look gooooooood!   

 and I'm fairly certain this girl -- she's just glad she could button them... can you imagine the force required to actually effect the buttoning of that waistline?  And, I'm fairly certain the pounds per square inch of force being put upon that button... defies the laws of physics... when she gets home at night and pops that button I bet it's like a can of biscuits just poppin out everywhere!

and just because there are TONS of these on the web.... lets just check out MORE of these revolting dolts

  I seriously think she got into the wrong drawer today.  So, if it covers your ass crack, then it fits?  Is that the rule now?  Because what's even MORE odd, to me, is that she really HAS no ass... just a great amount of back fat...bizarre.

 Bleh...I just don't even get it.  A) how she'd think that were attractive  B) how a guy would think that were attractive  C) why anyone would want to see someone fat blobbing over their waistline?

and this.... really?  REALLLY???

I do have to follow it up with some parting words of advice for all of those who provided the visual aids for today's post, even though it's completely unsolicited

So, now that the nonsense is out of the way, to further demonstrate what I'm thankful for... let me show you a little visual aid to see if it helps jog your memory to which muffin top I refer....



Remember this little nugget from Seinfeld?  (Oh, how I miss that show!)  Yes, I'm actually referring to the TOP OF THE MUFFIN!  :)

SIDEBAR ----> Dunkin Donuts has THE BEST MUFFINS!  Yum... though I'm sure they're loaded with sugar and fat and white enriched flour and all kinds of sinful, delicious stuff... but if you're ever in need of a good muffin -- or just a muffin top --- hit them up.  You'll thank me!  :)  Oh and blueberry is the best!  :)

16th -- thankful for muffin tops!

Friday Fill-Ins

Yea!!  It's Friday!  Time for another episode of Friday Fill-Ins.  Ready?  Set!  Go!!!

1. If you want it badly enough, there is nothing that can stop you from having it. 


2. I love when Babe (the pig) is singing la la la in his movie. 

3. I have to ask you, do you realize how annoying you are when you don't shut up? 

4. Bad vices; equates to bad habits. 


5. I didn't have time or I didn't MAKE time.  People tend to make time for what is important to them. 

6. Being sore, shakey and feeling nauseous after an intense workout session is something I love beyond all reason.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to nothing, tomorrow my plans include sending my eldest off to his bio-dad's for the holiday (boo hoo!!!) but other than that, nothing and Sunday, I want to see about 30 of my friends from high school at our monthly luncheon -- share some Mexican food, a margarita, some laughs, lots of pictures and have a great time! 

30 Days of Thankfulness - Day 15

Today has been a challenge... of sorts.... not to go into any detail, obviously.... if for no other reason than... I know that you don't really care!  Ha!  So, because of today's challenge... I'm getting real deep and expressing that I'm quite thankful for... LAUGHTER!

And, I feel the need clarify exactly what I mean by laughter.  I mean laughter as in an uncontrollable response to some positive stimuli -- not a nervous facade or a "courtesy laugh" -- I hate those.  I'm talking about an outward expression to an inward emotion.  Genuine happiness.

I'm talking the true moment when you are so tickled (and not by someone's fingers) but on the inside -- in your soul!  Audible laughs.

  (you know, kind of like this)

The best ones are the ones when you're laughing so hard you can barely breathe and if you tried to explain to someone what you're laughing about... they'd never get it because you'd be... completely incomprehensible!



Laughter is an underrated sometimes very unappreciated gift.

Laughter is magical.

Laughter is... awesome!

Those persons that evoke laughter deserve a special place in your heart because to reach a person in that capacity, is truly special.

Friends that can take away the nerves, jitters, butterflies and make you forget.... by filling you with laughter...

Frankly, if you can share laughter in the middle of .... times when it's less than "traditional".... or expected.... and not be ashamed (lol -- that's an inside joke for you yee haws that don't know any better)

If you can be the butt of jokes and not get your panties in a wad.... or mixed up in surgical tape... then you've got a true blue keeper of a partner right there my friend!

Laughter truly is the best medicine... next to guacamole.

OOOOH it's time for the announcement of number 14.  Ten plus four.  Exciting stuff I tell ya!  Today, I'm thankful for... CONSUMERISM DRIVEN BY SUPERFICIAL PEOPLE!



I had a lovely conversation with someone not to terribly long ago who made me laugh.

She has fake hair (extensions)with fake color (highlights)

fake nails (acrylic)

fake eyelashes (extensions) 

  fake tan (Mystic)

Botox                   
   fake lips (collegen)

fake eyes (colored contacts)

   fake boobs (silicone)

liposuction 

   and only wears department store makeup

lives to shop

and loves her brand names.... 

...and then had me laughing when she admitted she was not superficial... or ...and this is a quote "fake".  WHATEVER!!!!!  

My friends, she is the epitome of everything I am not.  But her, and her type drives women who happen to reside around me to ridiculous levels of consumerism.  I truly believe Southlake IS the plastic surgery capital of Texas.  I truly believe women dress up here to impress each OTHER instead of themselves or (gasp) their MEN!

For me, the very idea of the time investment she places in solely in herself... on a daily basis... floors me.  Trust me when I say that I have no problem with people taking care of themselves...I really don't.  But I just can't even fathom that level of maintenance!  I just can't.



And then when it spews over to the kids...

...they turn their little boys into these metrosexual pieces of hair gel and baby Gap!  Boys are meant to be dirty creatures that say obscene things and pick their noses... play in the dirt and have fun... bring home snakes and lizards and wear holes in the   knee of their britches...

Little boys do not need designer skinny jeans with designs all over the butt pockets...

And...frankly...neither do MEN.  They look stupid.  And I'll stand by that... to anyone!

Women... if you shop for your men, quit making them look like ... IDIOTS!

If YOU want to be 100% trendy... do it.  However, give the guys a break.  Sheesh!  You make them look RIDICULOUS!  There really should be a fashion level for how many pieces of clothing one can wear that is "trendy" at one time -- especially over the age of 30 (because you should just know better by then).

So, it seems that the land where I live is filled with the superficial... the overly trendy... the oh so very fake... the extremely superficial...

But... their consumerism brings in some GREAT stores (that I never patronize)... and some fantastically trendy eateries (that I never visit) and, well, they do offer good blog fodder, huh?  So, for that, I'm thankful.
