Friday Fragments

Finally, back to a real post where I can just ramble what's on my mind- and ramble, I plan to do! What better way than with Friday Fragments...

***Mrs. 4444's has been dealing with a devastating loss this week and I wanted to mention that my thoughts and prayers are with her during this difficult time!

*** As you may know, we got back from vacation at Gulf Shores this week. I always have good intentions about recapping activities, but when it comes down to it, it bores me, my family , pictures, sunsets- YAWN... so if you are a visitor that stops by just once in a while (and reads only the top post)- I purged 4 vacation posts in the last two days- feel free to go back and catch up with me!

*** I have been 'Booed'- It's Halloween, but I don't know what the hell that means, but I'm going to go to every person I can think of and Boo you , too. I got it from Annie at Cookies (that's my new abbreviation for her because her blog title has simply gotten too long for me and my short attention span to type out and I love cookies- so BONUS! ) I have gone through and left many a comment that I was 'booing' you- some new friends that I have been stalking, some old friends, some people that probably are getting the restraining order paperwork in line, as we speak...- it was very random- I work well that way. So when I 'Boo' you , you must post this and mention that some stupid bitch (that would be me) 'booed' you so you would give her some linky love... it's really just a cheap ploy for readers (and smiles, of course!), isn't it Annie? Cause let's be honest- there's no freaking candy!!!

*** My house is being swarmed by ladybugs! It happens every year around this time and it grosses me out. Before we moved out to the Boonies, I, like the rest of the world, was brainwashed by the cute, harmless, ladybug. Our first fall in this house, I mentioned to my mom that we were having a LOT of ladybugs on our back patio. To what she replied, "Oh, our neighbors pay $50 for a case of ladybugs every year- they're great for your plants!"

Yeah, they keep the aphids away, I get it, I read The Angry Caterpillar (or which ever one of those books includes ladybugs and aphids!)! Don't let them fool you...
That is not a real ladybug... Real ladybugs do this...

Which leads to this...

(Duggar family portrait 18, 19, 20 kids- who the hell knows, anymore!)
Oh wait, that's when humans do that...

Here's ladybugs...

Oh GROSS! Right?

Ladybugs reproduce like the Duggars on Ecstasy and live right outside my back door! When we take the dog out, they come in and swarm the inside of my house. I try to pick them up and throw them out, but there are tons of them and I'm no match for those little fuckers. And did you know that they stink? And they are dumb, they constantly are banging against the windows and making a clicking sound- screw Haunted Houses, this Halloween, I am having nightmares about Ladybugs!

*** Speaking of Halloween, I am attempting to dress up like a sexy nurse. My new header inspired me- we'll see how that goes, best case scenario, I might look skanky. I will also be dressing up my dog because this is my first Halloween with a dog and I'm a dork! Certainly crappy pictures to follow from our festivities.

*** I just listened to a very funny exchange with my sister on the phone in her car as she pulled up to the McD drive thru window that she had been promising her daughter all day- (you must know...she is VERY cheap...and had been dragging her 4 year old with her all day to thrift stores in search of finishing touches for Halloween costumes)

Sister: you want a cheeseburger?

Niece: yeah.

Sister: Good, cuz chicken nuggets are too damn expensive.

(as she reads the updated menu)

Sister: What??? They are $1.29 now?

Sister: but they advertise the cheeseburger on the dollar menu!!!

McD worker: Yes, ma'am, they are $1.29 now.

Sister: Sorry (insert niece name), we are going home and eating- I will not pay $1.29 for a crappy cheeseburger for you!

My niece is freaking out, my sister is trying to weave out of a drive thru line during the lunch rush! Buck up- the accident you cause is going to put you out a little more than the .29!!!

Mind you, she would have paid $1.00, BUT THAT .29 was just asking too much!!!

A few thoughts, thank God that she didn't order anything because with the way she was complaining over that intercom her cheap skinny ass would have been getting lots o' saliva in her food!!!

Hasn't she heard that there's a recession? Prices are going up sister! Happy Hour Sue is using lint as blankets for Christ's sake!
