Special Delievery

Please pass your assignments to the person on the left and than hand those back one person. Ok. Everyone have someone else homework? Good. Commence with the reading of your weekly Mama Kat assignment.

The Prompts:
1.) Describe something someone has done to make you feel special.
(inspired by Le Poppy Design)

2.)Name your current addiction...we can get through this together.
(inspired by Lula

3.) What have you been busy doing that's keeping you from updating your blog? How hard is it for you to get back into the swing of blogging when you take time off?
(inspired by Sera)

4.) Write a letter.
(inspired by eyegirl)

5.) Where would you like to be?
(inspired by T.J.)


Okay.
1.) no clue. I haven't felt special in a while. Not that it's bad. I'm not feeling forgotten or anything. Well you know what La Pixi tagged me and that made me feel special. and I'll be doing that post next week. hold me to it everyone!

2.) Rita's Italian Ice. Ahhh I love it. nothing screams summer like some Coconut ice from Rita's. I only need one more punch on my card to get my free treat!!!

3.) I haven't been doing anything. Mainly because I don't have much of a life outside of bloggy world. I work. watch tv. Sleep. and repeat. I'm working on this. I do know that after I've been away for the weekend it's hard to catch up on what I wanted to remember to blog about. WOW that didn't make any sense. sorry. I have been working on my 200th post this week. It's a four part post you should check it out here.

5.) this was take ONE of my 4 part 200th post.

So that leaves
4.) write a letter.


To whom it may concern:
I'm not sure why you feel the need to look at me like a deer in the headlights. I'm not sure why you think I MUST be the person you approach because I was the only one who looked up when the door clicked open. If you had any sense you would know that look didn't mean "please approach me with all questions as I am the helpful friendly person who wants to make all your dreams come true," and that it really meant back slowly out the door and I wont hurt you. Before entering the building THINK about why you are here. Gather your thoughts, as lonely and scared as they are inside that empty head, and please try to reduce the amount of times you say "ahhh", as it's rather annoying. If all else fails please return home and rough draft out an explanation of why you have come to my office today. I don't know why. I wont guess why. I'm not a dentist, so I wont be pulling it out of you physically.

If you have come for some reason other than to place a "Celebration" announcement , which the sign very clearly advertises over my head, DO NOT come to my counter. Do not ask me for an application. Although I do agree that a job in this economy is something to CELEBRATE that is not what I handle. I also do not handle stories about your child's soccer game, 5 generation photos, wet newspaper complaints, bill disputes, puppies for sale, homes for rent, name changes, or the MAIL. For most of those things you will want to check in with the RECEPTIONIST. The nice lady with the sign over her head that very CLEARLY says RECEPTIONIST. Yes it is just that easy. We aren't trying to TRICK you. This isn't How We Do it, I don't have a hidden camera in my bra. We really aren't misleading you. Yes that's right the women with the CLASSIFIED sign over her head, she is who you see about homes for rent and puppies for sale. See you can figure it out. When in doubt please see the RECEPTIONIST.

But I swear to (insert icon here) if any of you ask me one more time for an application WHILE standing directly next to the "SEE RECEPTIONIST FOR APPLICATIONS" sign we have placed next to the desk, that is clearly labeled CELEBRATIONS, I'm going to direct you to the last stall in the men's room at the McDonald's across the way. Because really, come on people.
Thank you
NOT THE RECEPTIONIST

The ranger is after me!!!!!!

im off thursday, more funlough junk, so I'm not going to be posting on Mama Kats page but here is my writing assignment!

Here is the women and below are the prompts. If you don't know what to do....I don't know what to say. Go check out the women and get a clue.
The Prompts:
1.) Write a limerick.
2.) Normal is...
3.) Describe a memorable camping experience.
4.) What's the best thing that has happened this week?
5.) Did you have a childhood hideout? Where? Describe it.
6.) Words that hurt me.

My parents belong to Outdoor World, they've changed the name it's something like long piny trails now. I don't know. I totally made that up. the name, not that fact that they changed the name. so they have campgrounds all over the East coast. When we went to Disney we stayed at one. you could bring your own tents or campers or rent a camper. It's that kind of place. I love those places. WE always stayed at Lake and Shore in New Jersey when i was a kid. There is a campground near my home only about 15 minutes away. when we were young we would go there with my grandmother. Well when we (me and big brother) got older we were able to use the membership and put our camper on the site and stay. so we did. Why not? BECAUSE IT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE that's why. I don't know what the hell my parents were thinking and we they ok'd that plan.

So big brother, me and our friend Deacon set up camp down by the creek. Many nights of drunkin (yes underage drunkin fun) fun were spent down by the creek. We were loud, we were young, and we were drunk. Here is where it's important to say that while some kids are well behaved and angels (me) some are not (big brother). One night after a large dinner of steaks and whiskey, Deacon decided to vomit all over the camper door area. that was fun. he proceeded to pass out as did I. big brother being the veteran drinker among our group got bored sitting around by himself and took off on an ADVENTURE.

First stop the pool, where he had to hurdle the fence to get in. After going for a leisurely dip (please note this information is all based on what BB could REMEMBER and what the ranger would later tell the police) he decided to help do some redecorating and tossed a large portion of the lounge chairs into the pool. That must have worked up an appetite in our young friend because he proceeded to break into the snake bar. By break i mean broke out the windows and crawled through to find some yummy ice cream treats. while bleeding ALL over the place. Way to leave DNA evidence behind. nice job. At some point he got spooked. he could never really say what scared him, mainly because he couldn't remember and off he went, running his little ice cream and whiskey filled heart out. right into the fence. After scaling the fence AGAIN he ran back to the camper taking a long confusing route,as to throw off the ranger (or cause he was wasted, who knows). At some point he sprained his ankle REALLY bad. This is what i woke up to.
BB~ "He's after me! He's after me!"
Me~ (from a dead sleep) shut up! I'm sleeping. who's after you?
BB~ The ranger! AHH MY ARM!!
Me~ (sitting up) what are you talking....WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING?
BB~ i don't know.
Me~ where have you been?
BB~ the pool...i think.
Me~how did you cut yourself? (you could see down inside his arm)
BB~ i broke into the snack bar, ahh man i really messed that shit up. I'm going to need stitches.
DEACON~ ahhh what ahhh huh......(back asleep)
BB~ I need you to hold it together?
Me~ (CRYING HYSTERICALLY) what hold what?
BB~ my skin. I'm going to try and tape it up to stop the bleeding, ahh it hurts so bad.
Me~ NO! I'm not doing it. Oh my god we are going to be in so much trouble 9still crying)
BB~ Shut up! hold the skin together.
Me~ 9holding the skin together) I hate you! I hate you! why couldn't you just stay here. Oh my god, what are we going to do.
BB~ the ranger hasn't come yet, he might not have seen me. What am I saying he had to have seen me. I'm so stupid. I think i lost him.
Me~ (taped up his arm and he climbs into bed, I'm still crying) what are we going to do.
BB~ Maybe they wont know it was me.

i left the next morning to come home for tennis practice and Deacon snuck BB out in the trunk of his car. We told my parents he slipped in Deacons puke and sliced his arm on the pole outside the door 9yeah I said we were stupid). we stayed away from the campground for a day or two and hoped it would calm down. It didn't. they put 2 and 2 together and realized it was us. The sprained ankle, cut arm and loud noise gave him away. My parents had to pay some fines and replace everything he broke, and BB was banned from Outdoor World. Banned from a campground. BANNED! LOL. what a dumb ass. and that my friends is my fondest camping memory.

THE RANGER Is AFTER ME!

I'm a winner

I WON!!!! I'm a winner! HAHA all you naysayers! To everyone out there who said I'd never make it........IN YOUR FACE!! I'm a winner.

Lucky Number 4

WOW. i had a lot of trouble with this weeks assignment. i think I might need to come in for remediation Mama Kat. I couldn't pick any prompts. I just didn't know what I was going to go. Here's the prompts what would you do?

1.) Tell us about a memorable blind date.
2.) Other than the birth of a child or your wedding, write about a joyous moment.
3.) Write about one of the most difficult decisions you have made in your life.
4.) Share the best picture you took last month and explain why it's your favorite.

I can't do #1, I've never had a blind date. Well........yeah no. I couldn't list something as a joyous moment in my life. difficult decisions? I could do that one but I'm not in the mood to be sad right now. I'll do #4 but it wins by default. and really this is one of the only pictures I took last month.

It's of me and my nephew, Kanyon. We took it one night while the family was over at m parents house. he had a ton of toys from Christmas to play with but all he wanted to do was play with my camera. i have to say. the kid has a pretty good eye. He took some really cool pictures, but i haven't had a chance to upload any of those. I told my brother maybe next year we should get him his own camera. He really had a blast. So this is a self portrait of the two of us. I love this kid. we are best buds when he's around. That's why this is my favorite picture from last month.

so that's what I have to say about this weeks assignment. It sure stomped me. Stop over at Mama Kats and see what everyone else thought.

have a nice day!
