They are truly delivering happiness in a box. 

Ok dude buy yourself......

1/2 a man

a clue and quit the show if your sooooooo against what the damn show stands for. I am so sick of celebrities bitching about what they do and how HARD they have it. You all of a sudden find God or some kooky ass cult and then all of a sudden the people who have made them who they are today*fame, a shit load of money, praise ect...*are awful degenerates. Listen kid anyone who goes to Hollywood to become an actor/actress knows somehow how the hell this town works. It is full of slithering slummy snakes not truthful telling pure angels. It's like stars who do not want their pics taken by the paparazzi you know what people you know what you singed up for and it is part of your job. Just like commuting is part of "regular" folks jobs it comes with the territory. Yes -  are some paparazzi a little off the chain crazy...YES but you know this is part of the job you wanted and struggled to to get to for so many years. big I don't want to hear bitching about the big time movie/sitcom star money you make the power you hold,  the admiration you receive and the free shit you get! Be careful what you all wish for and STFU.

This kid is making 8 MILLION Dollars a year 8 MILLION dollars. You know what people can do with 8 MILLION dollars a year you little shit?  Do something with your time/money - go volunteer instead of biting the hand that feeds you on some lame ass 1/2 hour comedy that for some reason is still on TV. if the show is "ungodly filth" and it goes against your Christina faith as you said then leave the friggin show and say buh buh to your 350,000 weekly paycheck and all your perks. I see that you have not done this yet? Mmmmm not yet right? I think this is a ploy for him to get back at producers I heard through the rumor grapevine*I don't watch the show* that his role has been diminished this season and he is trying to stay relevant. Mmmm could this be why this video popped up out of the blue? Perhaps if this is all about faith then good for you I respect you for it but if this is the case take that huge ass paycheck you get from a filthy show and give it away?  I really hope you saved your money dude because you really do not want to end up like most of the young sitcom stars in the past..... selling their autographs for $20.00 a pop at local comic book trade shows. Can anyone say Kirk Cameron......

Turkey Hangover........

Goddang has it been almost 6 days since my last post...Holly hell! I guess time goes by when your still suffering from the dreaded turkey holiday weekend. It was allot of work but also allot of fun. My stomach took a wrong turn because of all the rich food - I keep to a very light diet during the week so all the turkey and stuffing made my stomach strike out on me....Maybe a little TMI but...oh.....well. Besides busting my balls during the pre and day of Thanksgiving festivities we got slammed with the cold from hell in the house. Why... because that is the kind of shit that happens when you already have a shit load to do. I am sitting at my keyboard this morning, dripping away and looking at my daughter as I keep asking her if she is feeling OK? -  because the last thing I really want to do this morning is to get out of my comfy mommy jammies to drive her to preschool but I need to do it because the little munchkin needs to have her run around time even though mommy looks like hell and feels like baby diarrhea. All I want to do is curl up on the couch with a cozy comforter and drift off into a NyQuil slumber until my nose stops running. I had the day to get better yesterday but when you have a toddler around the casa their is no way you can rest the way you need to rest to get the sickies to go away.  I felt this bitch coming almost a week ago*besides that everyone I know as it*  I tried to fight it with every type of vitamin I could but the little bugger found my anyways it just gave me enough courtesy to wait until after Thanksgiving and just before my MIL left. I got a call from hubs this am and he to is coming down with it. Wooopppppieeeee

As you all I know I HATE being sick it is time consuming,  takes me off my work out schedule and makes me feel like a total blob. I hate lying around with no energy I am not built for it. And as I have said before when mommies get sick everything around the house comes to a stand still and nothing gets done. Not that my husband does not help but does not get done the way it should be done...in my eyes.  Plus he is tired from work and I don't want to ask him to do it.  I am going to drop my little one off for a few hours and see if I can get to the grocery store....maybe or just get home and get some rest before I have to leave the house again to pick her up. God where did all my energy go? Who sucked it through this vortex of sickness....God germs I really hate you...you...little assholes.

Peace lovely ladies and gents....Off to check out all the blogs that I have not been able to catch up on last week.

Tis the Season part II.....`

So as you lovelies out in BloggyLand know that this time of year in some cases cause me some anxiety. Not only do I have past flashbacks of when I used to work in retail but I had to have the holidays shoved down my throat as early as August when it came to the planning and merchandising our departments. So to say the least I have a really really bad taste in my mouth from Thanksgiving to after New Years.  I take a break from in store shopping during the month of November until the end of December. I do all of my shopping online during this time except for the grocery store.. Maybe it is because I am getting older and huge crowds bug the shit out of me. Or is it perhaps is that the stores get so over packed with shitty Xmas merchandise that as soon as I walk into the store it gets hard to breath. You would think that after all these years friggin Macy's would chill out on the thousands of ugly Xmas sweaters but obvi. someone out there is buying this crap in order for it to be ordered year after year.

What also gets me this time of year is the shitty customer service that some stores have. It is unbelievable that some people still hold jobs in this country. When I worked retail*and walked 11 miles in the snow* the shit that passes for customer service today would have never flown at our stores. Your ass would have been canned right then and there. I broke the cardinal rule of not going into stores during this time of year and got myself f8cked twice in 10 days. We needed a new fridge, went to buy new fridge at major appliance electronics company - *Starts with a letter B and ends with a letter B*.  Bought fridge#1, fridge#1 delivered nice delivery people did not fit even though I gave the employee measurements and reassured  us it would fit. I kind f had a melt down but not a big deal the delivery company was awesome and helpful and gave a shit. So not a huge deal.  Bye bye fridge #1

Go back to same friggin appliance store *dumb ass* bought another fridge was never told in store that the delivery people could not install the refrigerator at time of delivery.  WHAT THE F*CK???? What kind of company sells appliances only to have delivery people not able to set up the fridge. Are you friggin kidding me?  This was yesterday afternoon when I found this little fact out while my delivery person was extremely unhelpful and rude all he kept saying to me is that I needed to call this number . It would have helped that is I was sent a delivery person that spoke a little bit of English. There was no way for me to communicate with him because he did not understand what I was saying. I am not being rude here I am just stating a fact. this due was RUDE from the time  I answered the door I knew we were going to have a problem with him. I just got the I don't give a shit vibe you know the one I am talking about the one were is goes - I am only doing this job because I have to and I really don't give a shit that my whole days schedule has been based around this 4 hour delivery window. OH and you have all your food in an ice cooler ...Whatever! I was happy*at this point* I was getting my new fridge finally.

Oh yeah and during the time while I was trying to communicate in Italian hand signals I was also trying to prep for turkey day, running after toddler, keeping the dogs back from going after the delivery  person while on the phone with said company customer service department to try and figure out what the hell went wrong.  I would have NEVER purchased a refrigerator if I knew that it could not be installed by the delivery service. It was the worst day I have had in a long ass time the bitch driver made me cry and NO ONE makes me cry*ok maybe a few tings but not people I don't know* I was so over it took my awesome neighbor to calm me down and he decided to speak with them as much as he could communicate with them but he too had a hard time with it. We finally decided they were not the worth the hassle and refused the refrigerator.   I popped yesterday afternoon. I was DONE with shitty customer service. I am telling you this is one of the main reasons I have turned to online shopping the customer service is just better and you can tell that some of the companies actually give a shit about you. The only bright light yesterday is when my daughter looked up at me*in between tears* she looked at me and said

"That is OK mommy.....I love you much." She gave me a huge hug....at that point nothing else mattered....

BB you can take your fridge and shove it!

Pffftttt.......

So this morning I woke up and watched the news which I really need to stop doing. As my blurry eyes begin to focus on the screen I am greeted with this news line and this LOvely shot.......

People are already camping out in front of stores to snag Black Friday deals

WTF

What the hell is wrong with this picture..... 4....4 friggin days away then people wonder why I have total bad taste in my mouth for this time of year because when I see shit like this is makes me crazy...The deals are NOT that great people they are not.....Do some homework and you can get the same shit on line for the same if not less expensive. This is the time of year where you should be enjoying your family not the local Best Buy.

Can someone please explain to me why...WHY????
