Thought of the Week!

Well Since I had no comments, and nobody sent me a favorite quote,
I had to pick my brain and come up with a thought for the week.
So In Honor of Mothers everywhere, I chose this one!

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."
--Washington Irving

I Hate Lawnmowers!!!

Really, I really do hate lawnmowers!
Why you ask, because I have neighbors
and the Bible tells me to "Love thy neighbor",
so therefore I must Hate the lawnmowers!
It took me about 5 years to break my dad from
mowing the lawn at 6 o'clock in the morning,
How long do you think it will take me to break my neighbors?
And to top that, one neighbor mowed from 6-8,
the other from 8-10.
And the very worse part is the second neighbor was
Mowing the Church yard.
I. Cant. Win.

Happy Friday!!!

Plus Size Counterfeit

Here I go off with a pet peeve, do you ever have those days?
I was on Ebay checking out some plus size dresses,
not really that I wanted to buy one, just browsing.
Anyways standing on the beach looking positively radiant
in a full length formal wedding gown was a size 4 model.
Now this dress was amazing and the model wore it well, but...
It was supposed to be a plus size gown.
Yes it was one of those places that sell all sizes, but the ad was for a plus size.
I dont want to see what a gown looks like on a skinny model.
If I want to buy it for me I want to see what it will look like on someone my size.
(no Im not buying a wedding dress, your missing the point,
I was also looking at prom dresses cause I have one to sell).
Go into a store and look at the plus size clothes,
on the skinny mannequins with a belt looped around it twice, it looks real sexy.
We cant all be skinny, and for those of us plus size people out there we already have to pay double price for clothes, But to see a small person modeling a plus size outfit,
just adds insult to injury.
And do you know whats almost as bad,
seeing a person who wears a size 14 being referred to as plus size.
14! Id love to be in a 14.
But too many doctors, and whatever have brainwashed people
into believe if they arent a size 5 they're fat.
Oh No I wont even get started on that.

Until next time...

Thought for the day!

"Never explain yourself, your friends dont need it,
and your enemies wont believe you anyway!"

Freebies/samples

I love freebies. especially those freebies that, if you were to buy them and not like them you have wasted $$$. So everyone that blogs knows about walmart.com, but for my friends that dont blog they might not. So I am doing this blog for them.
Today thru startsampling.com I rediscovered the samples at Walmart. I didnt realize until today that you can go to walmart.com, and click on the Instores now pull down, and click on free samples to view ALL the samples they have for the day.
Today I sent for several samples, including: Crystal light single drink mixes, Fiberone caramel delight cereal, Ban anti-perspirant, and beneful fiber supplement.
Its only 4 oclock so I am still looking at some more samples and freebies. When I find them, I will pass them on.

Until next time...

Thought for the Day!

"Today, well lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness,
and tomorrow a vision of hope."

Thoughts for the day!

I have decided that I will post a thought for the day, everyday if possible, as a motivational tool for myself. I am sure many bloggers are already doing this, but I like quotes and I think it will be a challenge for me to come up with a new one everyday. I have already posted today's, I thought starting this off on a monday made good sense. So feel free to comment and leave your favorite quote of the day, and maybe I will do a update on sundays for the readers quote of the week. If I dont get any, I will just pick one that fits the mood.

Until next time....

Karma

Ive been slipping, I know. It has been a week since I posted. Not that it really matters, since I have no followers, but to me this could be either good news or bad.
Good news since I have nothing to complain about. Or bad news cause I havent had time to write.
Actually the first one fits. Its been a pretty mellow week. With the exception of yesterday, and even that wasnt too bad for me.
My brother Mello lost his keys. Well this is an everyday occurence, and I usually find them quickly, however these were keys to a truck he just bought last week and it has been parked since monday.
Soooo, monday I wasnt tracing his every move so, Im not sure where they could be.
Since we have all tore everything apart and looked everywhere except where they are at theres only one place left where they can be! The Cleaners!
Mello's work place has a company pick up their work clothes to be cleaned every week, well the good thing is they'll find there way back, the bad news is it will be next week.
So he had a particularly bad day yesterday, which only got worse with two or three different things that happened like a snowball heading for hell and after temper tantrums and bitch fits awhile he finally calmed down and went to bed (after midnite).
Well normally this would stress me, but yesterday I just laughed it off cause I have determined (during my lack of employment status) that you just cant "sweat the small stuff" and there is definately no use crying over spilled perfume.
So while I did tell him it wasnt funny while I was laughing I tried to make the point to him that the "Sun would come up tomorrow". Whether or not he seen my point, Im not sure, but he did eventually quit cussing people who werent there stressing and decide that the keys would indeed turn up and if not we could always get one made even if we had to take the ignition out.
So all in all its been a ok week for me and if I can get him to see my point of view things will be better for him soon.
I use the title Karma because I have a friend who works with a girl who walks around saying "Karma" everytime something happens, and it really annoys her. lol So while i do believe in "what goes around, comes around" Karma is not the word I use, even if they might mean the same thing. But yesterday wasnt a "Karma" thing, as much as it was just the Devil trying to rain on someones parade, as he does when he can, especially after someone has already had a pissy day.
Anyways, Until next time,
Search for the sunshine and you might find a rainbow,
Search for a rainbow and you might find a Pot'of gold.
Take time to smell the roses. Life is too fast paced these days, if everyone was to take a minute to slow down and reflect there would be alot less stress in the world...
