random thoughts tuesday


i don't know if i am going about this the right way, but i keep coming across "random thoughts tuesday" posts, and i have lots of random thoughts, so i figured i am going start one too. hopefully, just by linking back to the un-mom makes it cool. thanks to her for starting this whole thing!
so here i go (late in the game, of course), jumping on the bandwagon...

1.) whenever i have to type in a security password, i have to wonder how those squiggly letters are actually protecting anything. i mean, are crazed internet stalkers not able to read them? if i get them wrong, does that mean i am a crazy internet creep?

*************************************************************

2.) i wish someone would just zap spencer pratt off the face of this earth. i have never seen a single episode of whatever show he is/was on, but i hate him. i actually read a quote from him today that said "we both love god and music. we're both ridiculous, and we're both rock stars!" he was talking about himself and miley cyrus. umm...spencer, dear....miley is a po pstar, maybe even a country star, but rock star, no. bono is a rock star. you...not even close. i think i may be more of a rock star and i'm sitting here in a row home with my five kids and i'm wearing sweatpants, but i am sure that i have more rock star potential than you. good luck with that rap album.

**************************************************************

3.) i hate the "jump arounds" and the stupid "loco legs" song that is constantly blaring out of my tv.
**************************************************************

4.) i just read that kate is able to shop for free at gymboree because they sponsor the show or something. now, i don't like her at all. really?!?! the free tummy tuck wasn't enough, she gets free gymboree, too? she should be a much much happier person.

**************************************************************

5.) could the catholic church get any weirder? as i sat in mass with thomas on sunday (longest mass ever, by the way. baptism in the middle of it), looking at the stained glass windows, i noticed that the one directly above my head was a scene of the crucifixion. pretty morbid subject matter to start. then i noticed that on the ground at the foot of the cross there were skulls, just laying there. really? is that necessary? we get that the whole crucifixion and death was a really bad deal, does the "art" work need to be THAT explicit. the crown of thorns and blood dripping from the nails in his hands and feet aren't enough?

**************************************************************

6.) i truly think i am going to hell for #5.
**************************************************************
7.) us weekly did a story about jon and kate (you're shocked, i know) and they had an insert with a split screen picture of kate and nadya suleman with the title "they love french nails." how glad am i that i went with the french pedicure this week instead of the french manicure?!?! what does it say about me though, that i am also a mother of multiples and enjoy a french manicure once in a while?


in other blog news, i was given an award this week from my bloggy friend valentine and her sister, demosthenes. i am now, officially "queen of all things awe-summm," as if that wasn't already a given! so now it seems that i must list seven awesome things about myself and pick seven other awesome blogs and provide links to them all (let's keep our fingers crossed here people. i am not the best linker).
1. my shoes/ accessories are really awesome

2. my baby birthing skills (seriously, i can have babies like no one else. it's not even really difficult for me. it's almost criminal when you consider what other people go through)
3. i make pretty much perfect omelets (i went to culinary school, so i am a pretty good cook overall, but my omelets are really pretty)
4. my children are always well dressed and color coordinated
5. i am really good at laughing at myself and not taking myself too seriously

6. i am raising children that can identify u2, the killers and michael jackson (so far) when they hear any of them on the radio
7. i just asked my husband what he would say is awesome about me and he answered "your hair when you wear it curly," the he said "your eyes." who knew?

now, here are the seven of the blogs that i think are awesome.

1. the girls at bon bon rose . who doesn't love some fun fashion advice?
2. heather kathleen, the mouthy irish woman because her blog address contains the words "irish catholic potty mouth"
3. nicole because she taught me how to link to other blogs
4. mrs. fish at one fish, two fish... because i totally get her

5. pam at pam's perspective because i really love books and so does she. plus, she has incredible taste in actors.

6. beth at what i should have said 'cause i really like her blog and she's got such a great name

7. sjt at they really are laughing at me because she makes me laugh and she curses about as much as i do in reference to her kids. i gotta love that.

so, thank you again valentine and demosthenes. i do so love your letters (even when they contain horrible images of old guys and their erectile issues)! everyone else should go check them out now, too!

  1. I just managed to not only get the word verification wrong, but lose my entire comment as well. I think that makes me an internet weirdo AND an internet loser.

    Sigh.

  10. Haha, You are hilarious! And i'm not just saying that cause you're my tenth follower. I'm saying that cause I'm your 37th, which is obviously more significant.

    Spencer is a tool, that's the problem (the soup anyone?). And I was totally thinking #6 as I agreed with you for #5. I guess I'll see ya there!

  11. You did beautifully! Random Tuesday Thoughts is really fun...I think you'll like it.

    I don't know who Spencer Pratt is. No cable, remember?

    I have to agree with you on the Catholic church issue, though it doesn't stop there. A friend of mine invited me and my kids over one year to dye Easter eggs (seriously, that's all I thought we were going to do) and her mom, who is a Baptist, was there and had set up an Easter egg hunt. Well, inside the plastic eggs were not small pieces of candy but rather symbols of The Passion of the Christ. And as each kid opened his or her egg, my friend's mom would describe - in gory, gory detail - what each symbol represented.

    It was a little intense for my tastes.

  18. Free gymboree clothes!!! Kate should cheer up!

    And the security words are awful!!! I can barely read the letters. I try to get bloggers to deactivate them. I don't think they know that it is optional.

    Great blogs to check out!!! Thank you. I am always looking for a new one to stalk. Summer is coming. Way more time to stalk!!!

  19. What's with the approval?? This always cracks me up. Has anyone ever left anything awful?

    I think I had one nasty remark. I ignored the comment for a couple days then deleted it.

  20. I had to google Spencer Pratt to see who he was. I'm obviously lame in the pop culture department. But like you, I made sure my kids listened to some good stuff while growing up. Now both my boys are musicians and they hate rap and love old rock and roll and jazz music.

    Thanks for the shout out! YOU are awesome! I love your Random Tuesday. And your husband, he sounds like a keeper.

  21. BTW - I will have to wait until I get my laptop back before I can put the award on my site. I'm working on an old Mac laptop (she is more than 10 years old) and I can't figure out how to right click or save pictures.

  22. Ok...I am tagging you back!! This ought to be a fun meme for you!!

  23. Spencer scares me even more after I watched his rants on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

  24. That was the perfect random concoction! Call me crazy, but I'm going to miss those crazy, dry hairspray sprayin', bible thumpin', over-inflated ego havin' kids! It's the sadist in me to enjoy watching that...okay I even tvo'd it so I could pause and mock.
