** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Welcome to pmanljy's blog!  STOP   I've given this an 18+ rating for language and subject matter. If you're easily offended, this is not the blog for you. Now that that's out of the way, I figured if everyone else can have a blog full of inner contemplation and philosophical nonsense, so can I. I'm fairly opinionated and as a married mom of four, I definitely have plenty of goings on in my life to journal about in here. I could post on anything that crosses my mind, including but not limited to topics such as:  My views on politics, religion, and the war. Anything and everything having to do with my kids. The things my husband does to piss me off, and how great he is when he's not pissing me off. along with my more serious and philosophical topics like: Why do some farts stink and others don't? If I was a chicken, why would I cross the road?and more importantly Why do we say "taking a shit" when we're really depositing one?If any of these topics sound up your ally, then kick up your feet, grab a virtual beer out of my virtual cooler, and share your thoughts on my thoughts. NO ASSHOLES ALLOWEDI don't mind someone expressing an opinion different than my own, but I'm not going to tolerate belligerant, abusive assholes who want to argue with me because I don't see things their way. If you get shitty or cop an attitude, I'll take back my virtual beer and delete all of your current and future posts.  Have a nice day!** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| Okay, one last entry before hubby gets home and gives me the computer boot,LOL. Since I've had several members here comment on how organized I am, I'm wondering if I'm freakish or something. Someone made the comment that I have so many projects going that I'm going to have to learn to be organized when I submit or I'll get confused. Well, I didn't want to sound like a geek on that particular forum, but the truth is--I'm almost obsessively organized when it comes to my writing. I have a spreadsheet for everything. For every novel that I'm working on, I have a spreadsheet to track my word counts, number of pages, etc. Then, for the works that I've completed, when it comes time to revise and edit, I have all this information documented in before and after format as well to show how much progress I've made from one draft to the next. I have a query spreadsheet for the work I'm submitting that lists the agent, which agency, what I sent, when I sent, when they responded, what they responded, etc. For each novel I'm working on, I'm an obsessive backer-upper. I keep a folder for every writing project I've ever worked on on my house pc, my laptop, on cd, on floppy, and some things have hardcopies floating around too, not to mention what I have posted here. As for what I keep in those folders... I have the original work and a copy of each revision, which for some works run into the dozens. No matter how much material I cut during a revision, I never permanently delete anything so I have a document for story stuff that I've cut so I can use it elsewhere if I want. I could go on and on. But you get my point. Am I a freak? Is anyone else this anal about their writing? |
Just wanted to post that I might be on a little hiatus for a few days. Hubby has a program due by the end of the week so starting later this morning, he gets to take off work to work on it at home, which will tie up the house pc until he finishes. Luckily, I do my writing on my laptop so I'll be able to get some writing done, but the house computer is the only one with internet so I won't be able to hang out here til he gets done I'll be able to pop on for long enough to check my email every now and then though so to all my buddies: keep me posted and up to date guys |
| I'm having another boy!!! I was a little disappointed when the tech first told me - and then pointed out the visual fact,LOL - but that didn't last long. I'm just glad to be having another perfect, healthy baby But jeewiz...four boys! OMG what am I going to do? Good thing I kept all the old baby boy clothes so there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that I need to do to prepare except get the nursery room set up when it gets a little closer to time. I guess all I have left to do now is pick out a name. I really, really thought this was a girl (okay, okay, so it was more like wishful thinking!) so I haven't even thought about boy names that much. I pretty much have the first name already picked out so I can spend the rest of the pregancy just trying to come up with a middle name I think. Unless hubby changes his mind before then... Now I have to decide if I want to try my luck a fifth time after this one or if this one really is the last one like I've been saying  **sigh** |
| Back to my fixation with shit... Since I first pondered the notion of why we "take shits," I've also wondered why the past tense of shit is and perhaps if that has bearing on why the phrase is so prevelant. As far as I know, there is no past tense of the word, and if there was, it would be either "shitted" or "shat." So which is it? "The dog took a shit on the rug." "The dog shitted on the rug." "The dog shat on the rug." Hum... I'm still not sure. But it does give me another good idea - how many unique words or phrases can you create with the word "shit?" Shithead, shitass, shit-faced, shit-for-brains, shittle, shitless, etc. What a shitty subject. And what's even shittier is that I keep bringing it up |
For anyone who didn't know, I have a ball python named Gonzo. He's about 4 months old and by far the most interesting and entertaining pet I've EVER owned in my life. I love that thing! I'm getting kinda irritated with him though. The little turd has shed twice in the past two months and when he's shedding he hisses and won't let me even think about picking him up. He loves my husband and Pete can pick him up anytime he wants to - but not me. I'm getting jealous because Pete didn't even want to get Gonzo. He's my pet dammit! I think it's because Pete's the one who feeds him. We feed him live mice and I can't pick up the mice to put them in his cage,LOL. Imagine that - I can play with a snake but not a harmless, helpless little white mouse no bigger than my thumb. Anyway, I digress. I just wish he'd stop growing so fast and go more than a week without either shedding or getting ready to shed so I can pick him up and play with him again before he gets to where he won't have anything to do with me |
| I can't believe I'm about to hit my five month mark and my regular clothes haven't started getting tight even. I have mixed emotions on this. I started this pregnancy out overweight and was in the process of dieting. Then, because I have a history with gestational diabetes and a family history of Type II, the doc wanted to start monitoring me right off the bat instead of waiting toward the end of the pregnancy like they normally do. Good thing they tested me early because I did indeed have a problem. As a result, I had to start that blasted no/low sugar & carb diet. (Wish I'd discovered the damn diet a year ago when I started trying to lose and nothing worked!) I've since shaved fifteen pounds off what I weighed when I went in for my very first check up 2 months ago. At this point though, I'm starting to worry because I'm still losing instead of gaining. At my last appt my doc said this was normal and not to worry, but from there on out I should stop losing and start gaining. Instead of gaining though, I've lost five more lbs and counting. I just can't wait to go to my next appt this week to find out if I should be worried or not. I've started feeling the baby kicking and moving around so that's encouraging. I never had these problems with my other three. I had the GD but I wasn't overweight with any of them so the modified diet didn't have such a profound effect like it is with this one. Here's to hoping I'm just being a worry-wart. On the upside, only one more week until the US to find out what it is! Really can't wait for that one. |
| Anyone else out there have husbands who think that just because they work outside the home, they're entitled to spend all weekend hogging the damned computer? Hubby bought a new computer game. That man literally spent ALL DAY on the computer, then had the nerve to sigh and act put out when I asked if I could get on long enough to post something new to my port (a grand total of five minutes!) Oh, and to top it off, he gave me a fucking cold--knowing damn good and well I can't take anything for it! That's the second one in a month and a half. To be fair though, if I feel like shit tomorrow it's my own fault because it's 1 am and I'm still dicking around here, trying to make up for the time I lost this weekend. I'm just teasing about my old man (I guess I can't say "old" because he's younger than me,LOL) being a shit. We both love each other so much that we're sickening to be around sometimes,LOL. For every time I complain about him, there's a dozen times that he could complain about me but doesn't. I still don't think the computer thing is fair though! |
| I don't know if I'm especially hormonal because of this pregnancy or if my hubby really is turning into a shit, but we just had WW3 in my house over how to cook the scallops for dinner. Jeeze! I don't think I'll be able to stand him for 4 & 1/2 more months! Then again, he may put a hit out on me as soon as the kid is born,LOL. If it's another boy he may not have to--I might have myself committed |
| So seriously, why do we say "taking a shit" when we're really leaving one? My hubby and I have pondered this one to death with still no reasonable explanation. Any thoughts? Anyone? |
| I don't know if there are any pc gamers out there but anyone who's ever heard of Sid Meier is going crazy counting down the days to the end of October when Civilization 4 comes out. I'm a huge Civ 3 fan and I can't wait so I know there are others. Anyone want to share in the excitement and anticipation with me? Discuss or share screen shots, expectations, improvements over Civ 3, etc? |
| Man, those poor souls down on the Gulf coast! I hope Rita degrades before it hits land. And I really hope those poor folks down in NOLA don't get a dose of it if she doesn't. Glad as hell that I live inland here up north. Why anyone would want to rebuild and live down there after this is beyond me. But as long as they do, I guess all the rest of us can do is pray for them. |
| On my way back from my mini-vacation this weekend we got stuck in a two-hour traffic jam. With all that time to talk, naturally my hubby and I ran out of intelligent conversation - after about fifteen minutes I might add - and turned to the ridiculous and outrageous as a source of entertainment. This question, among others, was posed: Why is it called a "hamburger" when it's made out of beef? Any thoughts? Anyone? |
| Well, sadly, my first entry is to inform anyone who might care that I will be out of town this weekend and won't have access to my WDC account The good news is--I'll be at the beach! So ha! Gettin my fat, pregnant ass some bathing suit time while I can still fit into the damned thing. If I can--I haven't worn it since my vacation in June. Yikes! I hope it still fits! |
