The Bullet Catch Up

Last week was kind of crazy. Busy, busy, busy! So I figured a bullet type post was in order.

• Why is it when you are SEVERELY PMSing, because your cycle just lasted 48 days, your husband has to work all weekend. No lying around in fat pants, eating chocolate and licking salt off pretzels, for me.

• I bought the kid's Halloween costumes. Can you say, rip off? I just can't believe the price of them. Next year? I swear I am going to FORCE the kids to make their own!

• T. is going to be the black Spiderman. I didn't know there WAS a black Spiderman. I thought he was red and blue. I never did get to see those movies.

• W. is going to be a Werewolf. I just hope he doesn't scare himself looking in a mirror. You should have seen how freaked out he was in the Halloween store. All the masks terrified him!

• Get this. R. picked out her costume all by herself. I keep making everyone guess what she chose. Not.One.Person.Guessed.Correctly! She's going to be an Angel. BWAAAAHHHHHA!

• I went out to dinner with an old friend on Friday night. It was great to get out and catch up with her.

• W.'s soccer team finally seemed to mesh on Saturday. They still got their butts handed to them, but it was a very exciting game. They really worked great together. W. did really well!

• It's so nice to finally go to a party and not have to follow the kids around to make sure they aren't getting into trouble. Mr. Schmitty and I actually hung out with the other adults and enjoyed ourselves. The kids had a blast too.

• We played Screw Your Neighbor at the party. As the women were pretty intoxicated, the talk turned a little X rated. Side bets were being propositioned, if you get my drift. Too bad for the fellas that drunk wives promising sexual favors during a card game is usually bullshit. We were just amusing ourselves and laughing hysterically at their expense.

• We stayed out way too late on Saturday and then got up at the butt crack of dawn to watch my niece run in her cross country meet. By the time the meet was over, the tired and cranky Schmitty family, was in need of some serious sleep and food before someone was tossed from the minivan and onto the highway.

• My business has kept me pretty swamped lately. I have a really big order I am designing for a mom I know in town. Her daughter is having her Bat Mitzvah in November and I am creating all of the seating cards, menus, etc. I decided to treat myself with the profits and buy myself a new camera.

• I purchased a Canon Powershot SX110IS. I love it!! The pictures are beautiful.

• Which reminds me. I need to start planning my Christmas card. I always get very creative and have to come up with a new idea every year. Friends and family tell me that they can't wait to see what I've come up with.

• I need to write over at the BlubHer Overhaul. I'm kind of avoiding my Sistahs. I've fallen off the wagon a bit in the past few days.

• W. surprised me with his interim grades. Reading/86, Social Studies/88, Math/88, Science/91, and Language Arts/97. Now, if he actually APPLIED himself some more, could you imagine the grades?

• I'm planning my daughter's birthday party. She's going to be 5 on the 20th! I can't believe it. We are handing out the invites tomorrow for her "Puppy Party". It's going to be so cute!

• No sign of a Possum OR Rat the past few days. But I still haven't stepped foot into the back yard.

• I need to read 398 blog posts in my reader! I'm never going to catch up!!! So forgive me if I don't comment this week. I will be lurking but as I am behind in a lot of things, I don't think I'll be able to leave any witty words. Please forgive me!

• Well, I hope I didn't bore you to tears. Once I am caught up, I promise, I will come up with something better!

'Til then Muuuuuaaaah!

Bullets

• I got nothin' for you all, that's why I'm resorting to bullets today. I figure I'll just throw out some random thoughts and fill you in on what's up at the Schmitty house. But be forewarned, it's not very exciting.

• Well, Miss R. has taken one step forward and a few steps back in the potty training arena. And if she doesn't stop trying to clog up the toilet with wipes and paper I'm going to scream!

• I have to go to a general surgeon. I have a sebaceous cyst on my left breast, near the cleavage. I've had this cyst for years and never had a problem. The other day it ruptured and got infected. It's DISGUSTING!!

• W.'s mouth and lack of thinking before speaking has gotten him into trouble again. I got a phone call from a neighbor at 6:50 am this morning because of something he said to his son yesterday. I am not happy.

• I am half way through Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince. I have seen movies 1 and 2 and read book 3 and half of book 4, seen movies 3, 4, and 5. I thought to myself that I really should read 6 and 7 before they make the movies. I should have read all of the books, it's awesome!

• Our good neighbor has given, yes, I say GIVEN us their old big screen TV! It's beautiful! Have I told you lately that I love my neighbors?

• Speaking of movies and of TV, if any of you are interested, I have a TON of DVD and VHS tapes up for auction on Ebay. Everything is pretty much in mint condition and has been viewed only once.

• Mr. Schmitty has a nice little stretch of time off this weekend; Thursday thru Monday!! I'm hoping to get to do an amusement/waterpark one day. Pray for nice weather!

• I think I might have to go on a fasting diet. I have a wedding to go to next month and I'm terrified of finding a dress to wear. Mr. Schmitty and I are actually staying the night at the hotel the reception is at. We haven't been overnight, alone, together, since before W. was born. Woo-Hoo!

• The boys are in the sprinkler right now, R. is prancing around naked. And you know what? I don't care.

Okay, that's it. I have a million other thoughts running rampant in my brain, but I think I've bored you all enough.

Hey you! I hear you snoring over there! Wake up!
