Hump Day confessions

I confess to the following:

My son starts Middle School on Monday and I'm a little anxious about it.

I've also fallen behind on my blogging which explains why I'm late to the link up today. Last week I had my post all written and published and then realized late in the day that I forgot to link up. Oy.

I caught one of those annoying summer colds that I'm just now getting over which has seriously sucked the fun out of end-of-summer plans.We still plan on getting some swimming in, though.

 A few days ago my computer had a Windows update and long story short, my computer fizzled and wouldn't start up at reboot. So I uncharacteristically remained calm, consulted some sites via my phone and did a system recovery.  However, when I initially thought that I would have to bring her in to the computer doctor for a fix and what with the unexpected cost and inability to do  everything I do on here, for days, I did have a moment of panic. Now we're all good, thankfully.

Hump Day confession

 In light of recent events I confess I just don't feel the funny for blogging so this week's hump day confessions will be short and sweet. I feel a little like that Spongebob episode where Squidward tricks him into thinking he broke his laugh-box.

source

Don't get me wrong, I'm not walking around all serious-face. There are moments of levity and laughter. I'm just taking a little ha-ha downtime. Sarcasm and humor will return in a day or so.

Hump Day Link Up

Hey I'm linking up with Kathy at Vodka and Soda for Hump Day confessions!

I confess in all seriousness that I don't know the hows or the whys but something I wrote was published on The Humor Daily. When (or if) you go to the site, scroll down. I'm 5th below the raccoons but 4 above the Fifty Cent post. I guess this is pretty cool.

My son woke up with scary high blood sugar yesterday morning. He tried to take care of it by himself but then his insulin pump failed on him and in frustration and feeling sick to his stomach he finally came and got me. So so proud of him. For trying to handle it on his own. For dealing with his diabetes with such grace and bravery.

source

When dinner was finished cooking I started eating immediately and despite blowing on it like Jack Frost in Winter, it still burned my tongue. If I wasn't so hungry I would've put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to cool down. Then I asked Bill, What's the opposite of a microwave? And he said, Cryogenics? And so I explained that if we have microwaves to instantly heat food there should be something to instantly cool food that's too hot to eat for the starving people. He just looked at me in that you need help way. I still think this is a good idea.

That's all I got for ya this week. Feel free to share your confessions, antics, pizza. It's all good.

Hump Day Confessions

Hump Day confession time!

I freely admit to writing this post while munching on some peanut M & M's and watching Thor for the 87th time. No shame. None.

I confess that I sometimes choose a trashy novel based on the good-looking guy on the cover. However, when I scan the back cover to see what it's about, if the plot sounds too stoopid I will promptly put it back. I do need some substance, people! Still, check out these covers.

source

I make a lot of Pop Culture references here on my blog and I confess that I have no plans to stop any time soon. Perhaps when I re-named my blog last November I should have gone with The Pop Culture Scribe.

source

Last weekend I unplugged for a day and a half, meaning I took a break from my computer and the Internet. And while it felt a bit like I was missing an arm I did not regret it. At all. And I even went Old Skool and wrote with an actual pen and paper.

Feel free to share your confessions, comments or, pizza with me.

Hump Day

Psst! Want to hear some confessions? Okay, good. Popcorn for everyone!

I confess that I've been watching the TV show, Chasing Life. At first I was on the fence about it because it's about a young woman dealing with a cancer diagnosis but now I watch it despite the parts that make me weepy.

I confess that prior to this past weekend I had never played Laser Tag. It was So Much Fun!!! Even though my kid (X-Ray) is a better shot than me I did get a respectable score for a first timer. Bill was Cyborg, which is funny considering he has titanium steel in his back from spinal surgery years ago.

I was Hunter.

I did even better the second time. Maybe because we had more people playing with us. Bill was Omega and Chris was Rogue.

This time I was Thor because, of course I was!

Remember that coffee mug I made in my Zazzle store with the Sixteen Candles quote? Welllllll....turns out I conflicted with some guideline rules stuff so they sent me an email saying:

 

Thank you for your interest in Zazzle.com,                                 and thank you for publishing products on Zazzle.

Unfortunately, it appears that your product, Hot stuff coffee/tea mug, contains content that is in conflict with one or more of our acceptable content guidelines.

We will be removing this product from the Zazzle Marketplace shortly. Blah blah blah.

Whatever I did wrong was completely unintentional, however, I did see many other items with movie quotes on them so I'm wondering why my coffee mug was red flagged. But, I'm not curious enough to actually make a stink about it.

Thus ends our weekly confessional. Y'all come back now, ya hear!

Hump Day Confessin' time

Oh Wednesday you dirty, little bird, come here and let me confess some shtuff (intentional 'h' put in there) to you!

After watching Sixteen Candles for the 527th time I made a coffee mug in my Zazzle store that says: "What's happenin' Hot Stuff" because I thought it would be a clever play on words. Hot Stuff. Coffee is hot. Um, ok.

I finally tried Burger King's Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger. This looked soooo good with onion rings on top, I couldn't wait to try it! Sadly it was only so-so. The anticipation and commercial were better than the actual sandwich.

source

We were at the park and my son was playing with another boy. His mom called for him, "Tony!" And I thought of Tony, Danny's "friend" from The Shining.

source

My son thought of Tony Stark, naturally.

source

Bill thought of Tony Soprano complete with hand gesture. Now that I think of it, I'm surprised this wasn't my first Tony choice.

source

And this concludes this week's confessions. Time for some pizza-flavored goldfish!

Hump Day

So I was wondering, has a Priest ever fallen asleep during confession? Just curious. Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. Yesterday at the grocery store I sampled a handful of grapes in the Produce Section without paying. I couldn't help it, they were so juicy and sweet! Father? Hello? *Snooooooore* I mean, that would be embarrassing, don't you think? Also, this was a totally made up scenario and not at all based on anything that I might have done. And now let's get to it, Hump Day Confessions of a Fearless Scribe.

There's nothing better than having a Bomb Pop on a hot summer night. Especially when a storm's brewing and lightning is all around. I'm one of those few weirdos who gets all excited for a good thunderstorm.

source

Also, Bomb Pop sticks now have riddles on them. I guess this is more for the kids with popsicle juice dripping down their arms and not for the cynical grown up watching the sky light up. In case you can't read it, the riddle asks: What kind of tree would have the best bark? Answer: Dogwood.

Har Har

Been catching up on our movies by watching those we missed in the theaters because we were too busy/broke/undecided. So, thanks to the library (and my *cough* unwavering *cough* patience the last 5 months while waiting for these to become available) we got to see Gravity. I liked it. Bill thought it was okay. We also watched Captain Phillips, which was really good. Of course the guys loved the end with the Seal team. Oh hell, who am I kidding? I loved that part, too. And then of course, there was one night last week where Sixteen Candles and Jaws were on simultaneously. Both are excellent movies so how could I choose? I didn't and watched both.

Lastly, I'd like to send out some love (and Belgian chocolates) to the Humpday Link up lady herself because she's got the blogging blues. Kathy, this one's for you.

Hump Day Confessional

Confession time!

Thanks insurance company for making changes regarding my son's diabetic supplies that I only find out when I go to renew one of his prescriptions. One wasted pharmacy visit, 4 phone calls and two hours later...

source

Some women buy lotsa shoes. Not me. I like handbags. I have a large one to stash a lot of junk in and a small one for nights on the town when you just need cash and cell phone. And then there are the in-between purses for quick runs to the store and such. I was in the market for a medium one that would be cute enough for those nights out to dinner, yet roomy enough to fit Chris' diabetes supplies. After driving Loss Prevention insane as they (quite possibly) watched me place my current handbag's contents into several of their store's purses, just to see if it would all fit, I finally found one. Score!

source

Other than that it's hot as the surface of the sun here. I keep my butt in the a/c but when I do have to venture outdoors. Damn!

source

That be all. Have a good week and stay cool.

Hump Day Confessional

Holy hump day, Batman! It's time for confession!

We were at the library Sunday (where a lot of my funnerific* stories occur).  As we were just about to exit into the main hall, the woman in front of us sounded the alarm and walked past the sign. So I said, "You beeped." No reply. Then I said again, "You beeped." To which she turned around and replied, "I know. I cleared it with them." How sheepish did I feel? Baaaaaa. This is what I get for trying to be a helpful library patron and not minding my own biz.

source

*My made up word. A cross between funny and horrific.


We went to the movies this past weekend. The guys saw the new X Men and I saw Maleficent.  Can I just say, I loved it! I knew it would be a good movie when I first heard about it and saw the previews. I won't say any more so I don't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. So let's talk about the theater. It was an older AMC and boy did it show its age. First of all, can you say small? I didn't know I was watching the movie in my closet. And the seats. I sat down and was basically on the floor. Still, I enjoyed the movie while snacking on my Twizzlers, which cost the same as a small car payment.

source

I guess you know it's summer by the lack of clothing being worn. I don't mean tank tops in place of sweaters and shorts replacing long pants. Nooooo. I'm talking about mesh tops with bras in full on display. No tanks in between for modesty. Why create more dirty laundry? Then there's ladies being cheeky with their shorts. Not only are the pockets peeking out front but ass cheeks hang out from behind, too. I must be getting crotchety in my old age but is this necessary?

source

That's all, Folks!

Hump Day Confessional

It's Hump Day so hump along with me. You know you want to.

I guess my first confession should be that I got a new job. Details to come since I'm just officially starting today.  I admit that I hate this part of it, the beginning. I've got first day jitters and all. I wish I could fast-forward six months so I would be settled into the job but then I'd miss the summer and it would be Christmas and I'm not about to rush things when Christmas already seems to start the day after Halloween these days.

source

It's been windy as all hell here in Sin City lately. I mean hang-on-to-your-wigs windy. I am so over it. Seriously, I moved here for the warm weather, I didn't sign up for this. If I wanted to live in a windy clime I'd have located us to Chicago.

source

This blog needs to start earning its keep. I sent some pitch letters and have been interacting with other blogs  and I've been thinking that maybe I should offer baked goods as a way to lure potential sponsors/advertisers for my blog. Hey, I'm not above a little bribery if that's what it takes. Brownie, anyone?

source

That's all I got for ya. I'm gonna sit here and eat some cookies while I read others' confessions.

Hump day confessional

Submitted for your Hump Day approval, these are the confessions of The Fearless Scribe.


Ok, so it's only June 11th and we've already been in the triple digits for the past 2 weeks. It's going to be a long, hot Summer and I confess that I've already got some tan happenin'.

source

Recently when we were out, Chris and I watched a woman walk by unsteadily while wearing impossibly high heels. The sidewalk was paved unevenly with large mosaic type pavers with dimples so you can imagine she had to concentrate with each teetering step. Chris leaned over to me and whispered, "Wouldn't it be funny if she fell?" (He is so my kid!) I confess that I leaned back over to him and replied, "Yes. But after I stopped laughing I'd help her back up." I'm not a big meanie but seriously, if you're going to wear stilted shoes that make you look like a toddler just learning to walk, then expect some ha-has if you stumble.

source

I'd like to thank the ABC Family network for airing two of my most favorite 80's movies this past weekend: Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. I confess that I watched them both two three times between Friday and Sunday. I'm not ashamed to admit that I could quote these movies by heart.

Ok, your turn to make with the confessions.

Hump day confessional

If it's Wednesday, this must be Hump Day Confessions. Okay, let's do this!



Lately I've been so on top of this blogging thing. I confess I have pre-written posts ready to go and drafts I started and even ideas for future posts. It's scary how organized I am right now.

source

Today is my son's Elementary School graduation. I'm pretty sure I'm going to look and feel like this:

Me and Lorelei; proud, emotional, and excited Mamas. Now let's celebrate with cake!


I further confess that while looking for the specific Gilmore Girls pic above I sifted through several sites and gifs and read quotes that made me laugh (again) and re-lived scenes via video links and basically emerged two hours later feeling a bit bleary eyed and possibly drooling.

That's it for this week.
