Yikes! I Am 30 Today
February 6th, 2010 | 
Author: Today is my 30th birthday and is probably the birthday I have least looked forward to my entire life. I always under the belief that 30 is “like” old something. But now that it is here despite my sisters text messages at 1 a.m. telling me that I am old. I don’t really feel any older. So far it has been a pretty good day, we had cake and presents practically for breakfast. They boys even got me this really cute Cinderella cake, and cupcakes for themselves. We decided not to get a whole big huge cake because Hal’s birthday is the 12th and it has always been hard to eat two cakes back to back. So we are saving a huge cake for him next week.
Here is my awesome cake it is so good.
And here I am this was taken yesterday afternoon, do I look 30?

Dude, Big Lots Does Have A Bathroom
I had a very disturbing image this afternoon as I was waiting today. Jason and I were around putting in some job applications for him since he is currently unemployed. So he decides he might give Big Lots a try since we shop there and he likes retail work. So I am waiting in the car while he runs in and gets an app to fill out. Well I am just minding my own business playing around with my cell when this car pulls up in a couple of lanes over. Ok perfectly normal for a parking lot. I glance up in their direction and have a complete holy shit moment. The guy has whipped it out and is taking a leak or relieving himself right their next to their car. What is so screwed up about it.
He doesn’t even try to take cover!
Doesn’t even try to hide behind the door of his car!
It is broad daylight!
And so screwed up there is a woman with him who just stands there like it is perfectly normal. And did I mention he was a grown up! And he knew I could see him I think they both kept looking toward me. And yeah I probably should have called the police but that was hindsight and I just wanted to get the hell out of there. So relieved when they went in the store and Jason came out.
But I just don’t understand why he could not have waited until he got in the store. Big Lots does have a restroom, I know I have taken my kids there before.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine. I know that I am like most people and want everything now! I hate to wait for anything from food to my internet, which sometimes absolutely drives me crazy having to wait for. Right now Charter is wanting people to stop waiting and get going for their internet service. They say that with the advances of cable that dsl is becoming the new dial up, when I see the speed of cable services I believe it. So now we can save our time because all of our time is important and we should be able to get our shopping, bill paying, and web browsing done quickly.
So to kick this off and help customers out Charter is offering High-Speed Internet at only 19.99 per month. This is a great bargain for the convenience of faster speed and being able to save time get things done faster and to have more time to do other things. Because honestly I could never understand people who still have for example dial up and don’t mind waiting, I would probably pull my hair out having to wait for that these days. Also don’t forget to fan Charter’s Facebook page so that you can get updates on their high speed service!
Wordless Wednesday – Cortana and Peaches
Not so wordless now, they were both laying on the bed and the cat was slapping around my dog Cortana. And I had turned around in my desk chair and was playing with my cell phone when I caught this picture of them sniffing each others noses. I thought it was adorable so I decided to post the picture. And think well at least this time they weren’t fighting. They seem to go back and forth on getting along with each other and fighting.

Tags: I Am A World of Warcraft Addict
In the past I would have never have admitted to such a thing but here lately I just can’t quit. I know most people won’t think it is much but I currently have a level 56 Mage, which is my favorite and a level 58 Death Knight that is pretty cool as well. With a recent update that have started an achievement system that I think is the key to why I have been playing so much. I think that is what I like to do the most is unlock the different achievements, and getting to level 80 would work for me as well. But for now I am playing around working on my characters, because for some reason I just can not call them toon on World of Warcraft like lot of people do. Maybe I will see you there.
~sharonSmall Talk Six – Movies I Would Like Back My Time For
More than once I have had the misfortune of watching a movie and wishing that I could get back the 1 hour or longer of my life that it took to watch it.
- The Crow Wicked Prayer, I loved the first two this one was terrible.
- Wing Commander – Yikes pathetic.
- Any movie directed by Uwe Boll, he likes to make video game adaption movies terrible. So funny that Blizzard absolutely refuses to let him get a hold of a World of Warcraft or Warcraft movie.
- Spice World – Yes, I watched it, but they do have some catchy songs.
- Cool World – From the 80s and terrible.
- Any of those parody movies like Meet the Spartans and Epic Movie, I have watched too many and they always make me cringe. I think I punish myself by watching.
I know I technically listed more but they are tons of terrible movies the list could be really long.
Wordless Wednesday – Kid Made Contract!
My oldest son brought me this to sign that he said was a contract so that he would not have to clean his room again. What did I get out of it? Absolutely Nothing. And to add to it he is 8 where in the hell is he getting this stuff about making contracts? Needless to say my signature did not go on it. I could just see him waving it around when he was 16 or something.

Cup of Awesome Project
Fairly often for gifts you will see different kinds of cups or mugs that you can unscrew the inside and have your kids color a paper insert that comes in it to customize the cup. I recently purchased one of these cups at dollar tree of all places and fairly surprised by how good the quality of it was. Because to be honest sometimes you can purchase stuff there that you are getting exactly what you pay for and they suck and not even worth the dollar. Well anyway I got the cup and decided to do something different with it.
I used my horde of scrapbooking supplies to make it all pretty and be able to brag about my kids at the same time, just not with their artwork but their lovely faces. And besides the fact that I love to just deface stuff and the freaking word is eluding me but cover it with paper and embellishments and all that good stuff.
Okay so what I did is I took out that insert that was in the cup and since it is kind of funny shaped I used semi-permanent adhesive to stick it onto the back my cardstock. That way it would not be permanently stuck to it and if I got tired of the design I made I could possibly make another and interchange them.
Now since the cardstock and insert are together I cut the cardstock out around the insert sort of like the insert is a pattern. And another idea is to trace it and then cut it out but I am a backwards and a lefty so doing it like a pattern is just easier for me. And after that is done I can just take the insert off and just set it aside for some other time or if you don’t think you will need it toss it.
Now this is my favorite and the fun part. I used a piece of pattern paper as a mat for photos of the kids and then a second piece in a different design to add some more color. After I arranged those on the cardstock I placed my pictures on and then added flowers with brads. Also a good touch is to use rub-ons or even stamps to add a phrase or names. I used “My Boys” with rub-ons by the photos of my kids. And of course I used ribbon on two corners to add more color and all to it.
It is very simple to do and most of us at one time or another bought scrapbooking stuff that is probably in a corner that is gathering dust. They also make great gifts too.
If you were to do this you would need -
- The cup -dollar tree and hobby lobby are two places I know of.
- cardstock
- patterned paper
- adhesive
- scissors (obviously)
- embellishments (ribbon, flowers, rub-ons, brads, this part is limitless there are all kinds to choose from!)
- Picture(s) of cute kids (this is a must!)
This is my cup and hopefully this will help you make an awesome cup too!

My Crazy Dog
I always knew my dog was somewhat unusual and some of the time quite odd. But I have to say that this one takes the cake. My son was recently taking a shower and I had walked out and into his room to grab his pajamas when he started calling me. Not a something is wrong call, a more come and look at this call. I go back to the bathroom and sticking her head out of from behind the shower curtain was my dog. She had decided to jump in with him and take a shower too. I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off at her and of course the ever handy cell phone was there and I got a pic of her sticking her head out. 
And honestly its not so unusual in the house for her to take a shower it is just that usually we have to put her in and coax her. She did it this time completely on her own. I am fairly certain she is pregnant so maybe it is hormones and junk making her funny.
~sharonShopping Deals
Now that Christmas and the holidays are over most everyone’s pocket books are empty. I know mine is very empty. And with my luck that is when something hits like the stove goes out or the refrigerator. One year right after the holidays my stove caught on fire and I had to get a new one. So that is normally how it goes for me. But when I do shop for stuff whether it be an emergency I need or an I am ready for a new one I always look for the best deal out there. When shopping for items it is best to compare shopping prices to get the most for your money.

There are several things I could use around the house. On the top of my list is going to be a new refrigerator. The one I have makes this noise when the compressor or whatever goes off that if you are not used to it makes everyone jump. And besides I recently got a new stove which I got by searching and searching for the best price on the kind I wanted and got a great deal on it, and would love a fridge to match it. And even if you are not looking for something high dollar like an appliance it is always best to get the best shopping deals, so that you spend your money wisely and can get more! Like I did on my new TV between Thanksgiving and Christmas which is now off sale and costs over $100 more than when I got it.
