Multipurpose Monday

As I was brushing my teeth today

I started thinking of how versatile a simple toothbrush can be.

Obviously the small size makes it perfect for grooming your eyebrows.


Or getting rid of those pesky rough heels. That is if you didn't just get a pedicure on Saturday where the girl already made your feet baby butt smooth before lacquering your toe nails in green.


Use it when there are unmentionables laying around that you would rather not touch.



But it's not just for the bathroom. Take it to the kitchen to help clean up small spills on the counter top.


Or cleaning the back splash that got grimy.


Finally, when you're done be sure to wash your hands and clean your nails.



Betcha didn't think a toothbrush could be used for so much. Hmmmmm neither did I, but you'll do just about anything to make sure you start off the week right with a semi-funny post.

I'd like to say that the toothbrush was not harmed in the making of this blog post, but alas it gave it's life for Multipurpose Monday. There was no way in hell I could use it again. For anything. Oh and all these pictures were totally staged so I really can't attest to whether they really work. I'm a fraud. Sorry about that.

Have you guessed yet? Theme Week is BACKKK! So go visit Denise and find out what's she's saying about Multipurpose Monday. And then come back tomorrow as we both celebrate SITS Spring Fling with a GIVEAWAY!

Birthday presents...

I had a wonderful weekend and woke up each morning to another birthday present.

This was Saturday's gift:

A beautiful ginger colored Harley Davidson tank.


Notice anything familiar?


This was today's gift:


A cute black Harley tank. And I still have one more to go! And I finally guessed the theme-all my gifts are related to Summer.

Oh and I gave myself a "summertime" gift this week too...


You might be a redneck if...well, if your neck is red.

Good times ya'll!

Watch the video.

It's not even 6:30 AM here and I'm up.

In fact I've been awake and laying in the bed since 4:30 trying to go back to sleep. Could this be some sorta cosmic payback for the post I wrote about alarm clocks??

Perhaps.

I'm the only one up so I haven't opened my gift yet...you'll have to wait to see what it is. In the meantime, let's chat.


You know this guy right. Well I was watching ABDC's season finale last night and thinking of just how far he's come.

He went from this...


To this...



Then to this...and I will warn you there are some bare buttocks and rock hard abs in this video. If that offends you then well...I feel sorry for ya'.


Soooooooo hot. Want to touch the hiney... (Quick. What movie is this from?!)

Okay where was I?

Yes, oh yes I was thinking of how people used to be.

Here's another comparison for you.

Lil Kim - circa 1996


And Lil Kim now


Me thinks someone got a Jackson makeover. As in Michael & Latoya Jackson.

Scary huh?!

I sure hope her nose doesn't melt under the lights since she's on this season of Dancing with the Stars.

K that's all for now. I'll be back later with a picture of my birthday surprise! I got this beautiful toe ring today. It's sooo cute in person!



Are you guys seeing a pattern??

Mine is better than yours!

~Ppbbbbblllllt!~

I came home yesterday and saw this.


A tower of gifts for ME!

My sweet hubs bought me a gift to open everyday until my birthday. He even bought the green wrapping paper cause it's my favorite color.

So last night I got to open the first gift...


I got SOCKS!!!! Happy Bunny socks...which are the best. Can you see what they say? Allow me...

"Cruel but cute so I'm worth it"

That's so me.

Then this morning I'm getting ready for work. Running late as usual and S asks me if I'm going to open a gift this morning.

Huh. I hadn't even thought about it because I opened the first one in the evening I just assumed I would open them all after work each day.

He then offered to get me one, while saying I was like a "kid in a candy store".

I think he's just as excited as I am!

This is what I opened:


OMG!! Don't you freakin' love them?! I love them!

I'm already planning my trip to get the pedi so the toes are ready for them this weekend.

With all this evidence, I can truly say My husband's better than yours! ~ppbbbllltt!~

Is It Morning Already?!

The world's worst invention has to be the alarm clock. I swear that I hate that little box more than anything in the world. Well, except for IE when I get errors and it shuts down all my open pages - if you saw my tweets yesterday you know what I speak of.

Back to the devil box. I mean who thought it was a good idea to be jolted, yes JOLTED out of bed each morning. Typical alarm clocks come equipped with high pitch sounds or music, which is equally as awful.

Couldn't there be something a little more soothing than the piercing BEEP, BEEP, BEEP that we are all familiar with?! Oh wait, SS does have something a little different. It plays animal sounds.....so instead of beeping I get to hear a rooster squawking.

I could smack my aunt for giving him that gift.

Although to be honest I don't hear it very often.

Cause S & SS are part of that irritating bunch of people that immediately get up when the clock goes off. The devil box chirps and they jump. How can I get that kind of power?

Me? I hit the snooze no less than 3 times each morning and I purposely set my clock 20 minutes ahead so that I can.

The worst part of it all is that I'm still late. All the time. Everyday. Without fail.

Ugh.

I shoveled my way out...

...and just made it to work. Or more specifically S shoveled the driveway and front area yesterday after he cleaned off mine & SS's car.

I think I'll keep him.

So yesterday while I was lounging working from home I saw this Honey Bun Cake recipe posted by Shannon. Hmmmmmmmmmm...I had the time and the ingredients so I went and whipped one up.

I got the stuff together.


Mixed it together and then spread half in a greased 9x13 pan. Then I topped it with the cinnamon & sugar mixture.


Then the other half of the batter...


While it's baking I whipped up the glaze using these ingredients:


After 35 minutes I took it out of the oven and spread the glaze on it.



It was delicious! The only thing I might change next time, is that I would add a little more cinnamon.

Oh what?! You thought I was going to post the recipe for you? Nope. You gotta go visit Shannon to find out the details.

While you're there take a look at the Sloppy Joe recipe...I've made that one too and it was fab!

Then pop over to TMM's first ever giveaway. She's got goodies from Eden Fantasy's so if you didn't win my contest here's your second chance! Or hell, even if you did win two others MARIAH! *ahem* go enter anyway.

And then go to Lizzy's house and enter her giveaway too. Cause you cannot have too many toys. Trust me on this.

Plus Dipaola Momma, my fellow Welcomista, is giving away a WOOHOO! box full of great goodies so go visit her and enter to win before March 9th otherwise known as the day I graced the world with my presence.

Mama Kat is giving away another apron this week. This is the fourth week in a row that I've lost. If I lose again then I will...I will...well, I guess I'll have to buy one but I would much rather win. And see my name in sparkly lights on her page.

Last but not least Tiffany of the SITS fame is giving away TWO $100 Target gift cards to kick off her Fishful Thinking Intiative journey. Woah. On second thought, don't enter this one. It makes it easier for me to win.

~sigh~

A girl can dream can't she?!

Oh and if you want an inside look at the stuff in my crib go visit me at Craving Savings. Then tell me how great I am.

I really like when people do that.

It's a Snow Day! Just ask the turkeys...

I'm at home this morning. I love that, especially when I'm lying in bed watching Regis & Kelly Maury while typing this. And the alternative would be to go outside in the cold...and I do mean COLD and try to schlep to work in the snow.

I have pictures but I'm too lazy to walk 3 feet to my camera to get them for you. I will post them later cause it's amazing how much snow we got.

And there are turkeys in my trees.

I heard a bowl of cereal calling my name so I got up and grabbed my camera on the way back.

This was yesterday before the snow really started to pour down.



These are from this morning. You can really see the difference on top of the hot tub...and my poor bush is bent over from the weight.




And here's the turkeys! (Click to enlarge)



I didn't even think turkeys could fly. Guess I learned something yesterday!
