Hoochie Here

So I was shopping with a friend the other day when I showed her the "dress/bathing suit cover-up thingy" that I bought at Forever 21.


My friend explains that is not a DRESS, it is a SHIRT.... I didn't believe her so I went to look it up on the internet.

OH NO!? I have been wearing that thing all summer. It is the perfect little bathing suit cover-up... but then again I am only 5'2".

I am embarrassed that I have been going out in public in JUST a SHIRT... I'm such a hoochie

PS: if you want a dress/shirt/cover-up thingy like me, you can find it here

Oh brother...

One of my brothers is a State Trooper.

We are very proud of him.

And we always get to hear funny stories about his job on the road.

He recently posted this story on Facebook... so I stole it borrowed it to share with all of you!

So I pull up beside this Dodge Neon about 3:45 a.m. and this guy has his index finger 3 digits deep in his nose, completely oblivious that I am there. He pulls his finger out and looks at his treasure and then everything kinda goes into slow motion as his finger moves towards his mouth.

You know how you cringe when you watch those crash bloopers on tv? Well thats about how I was except I was yelling "NNNOOOOOOO!!!!" but the dirtbag couldnt hear me.

I reached down and just laid on the airhorn and he jumped pretty good. The guy looks over at me and the most disturbing thing was that I think he was pissed because when he got startled at the airhorn going off I think he dropped his booger on the floor. I was just shaking my head in nasty disbelief.

The guy gets flustered and inadvertantly runs the red light. I stopped him and told him if he would concentrate as much on his driving as he did his orrifice conquests and boogar expeditions he could save 4 points on his license.

The cost of a boogar has now been defined !!!!! Cmon people, lets not eat boogers ok?

Miss Manners

How has your week been so far?

Need to vent? Need to tell us how great it was?

Come join us in the Thursday Tirade

wanna know the rules? click here

My tirade this week is actually a question for all of you

An Etiquette question....

We have a group of friends that pretty regularly invite us to their houses. This group has approx. 6 couples in it -- we never go to the same house every time. BUT, every time any of them invite us over, they send an email saying BYOB (bring your own beverage) AND BYOS (bring your own snack).

Now I was born in the south which means of COURSE I will bring you a hostess gift for having us over (usually a bottle of wine). However, I do not necessarily think that you should require everyone to bring their own beverage AND snack. It has gotten to the point that Justin and I joke and call these outings a BYOP (bring your own PARTY) affair.

One of the couples is having everyone (8 couples) over for New Years and has said that every couple will need to bring $40 with them to cover food/drinks. Well, we will be in the Bahamas so we can't go anyway.... but really? $40? What the heck are you cooking that is going to cost $320 for you to make?

When we have people over we do not expect them to bring anything. We provide the drinks, the "snacks", and all the trimmings.

What do you guys think? Am I just being hard to get along with? Is this normal practice nowadays? Or do you think it is weird?

I would love to hear your opinions...

PS: I have 68 Christmas cards to send out. They are sitting on my coffee table mocking me because I don't have time to write on them, stuff them or address them. Maybe I will get them out by New Years.

PPS: Kathie @ My Net Finds taught me how to make it "snow" on my blog.. don't you love it?!?!

ok, now it is your turn!
