For those of you haven't heard yet.........

Dalli​n Larse​n,​ Presi​dent of Monav​ie has just annou​nced that for the month​ of Febru​ary,​ you can join and start your own business for NO enrol​lment​ fee!

THERE​ ARE NO EXCUS​ES!​!​!​ This is an oppor​tunit​y of a lifet​ime,​ don'​t let peopl​e tell you any diffe​rentl​y.​.​ 

" How much money​ you spend​ on your healt​h per week?​"​
" Is it to expen​sive ?"

I thoug​ht the same thing​ until​ I found​ out that MonaV​ie is only $​3-​$​4 per day and is givin​g me the nutri​tiona​l equiv​alent​ of 10-​13 fruit​s and veget​ables​ every​ day. So inste​ad of spend​ing money​ on bottl​ed water​,​ starb​ucks or other​ items​,​ I start​ed savin​g money​ by not buyin​g all that stuff​ and began​ drink​ing MonaV​ie for bette​r nutri​tion.​ Now I have inves​ted in a produ​ct that pays me a retur​n on my inves​tment​ that no other​ produ​ct I consu​me does.​.​.​

What do you have lose ? $0

What do you have to gain ? Every​thing​ you EVER imagi​ned

Routine.............shmootine, get me my coffee

I am going to use this today, albeit I doubt

I will look this happy

I don't take a shower/do my hair/put make up on and get dressed to clean

Well, I'm dressed. Usually in sweats.

My hair is rather Medusa like, in the long parts

And, well, just sticking every which way but loose in the short parts

 I will be doing other things as well

Dusting/laundry/putting away said laundry

Putting away Christmas stuff

**hold on a second, everything is down.  It just hasn't made it to the garage in its place **

I went from this.  Which I liked

And was amazed with.  But hated

having to fill the little water tank

after cleaning 1 bathroom.  Or having 

to fill it 2 - 3 times while doing kitchen,

entryway, dining nook, formal living and

dining room.

I can even use this on the stairs/carpet/area rugs

with the handy little carpet glider thing a ma jig

Plus, I got a free gift with the purchase

A hand held steam sanitizer which

I have already used and was completely

taken a back by the crap that came out

and sprayed all over my fridge

And I'm a clean person, scrubbing in between every 

nook and cranny

Then, I get to go eat this

Chicken Marabella

Made by my Mother

I shall take pics when I get there

I will also be making bread to bring along

In belated celebratory fashion

for my 28th (ok ok ok, 39th sheesh)

birthday

I'm am going to try and mind my P's & Q's

I haven't seen my Mother in almost 3 weeks

She had a bit of a Bi-Polar moment

Where she was justified (as always)

And I was the feral child, whom she

has no idea how she could have birthed

She should be fine

My Aunt will be there

As well as my husband and son

So she should be on her bestest of best behavior

It will be totally exhausting for I will survive the night

by pushing that anxiety way, Way, WAy, WAY down deep

Put on a happy face and smile.

If I can make it through that

I can make it through 39

right ?!?!?!?

Happy Saturday to everyone who stops by

It's just a classic case...

sce....scenario.  A tale as old as time, girl you got what you deserved.

Picture if you will ~ Me in my car ~ Me in my car in the drive-thru of Starbucks ~ Me in my car in the drive-thru of Starbucks, ordering ~ Ordering 5 drinks ~ Yes, I said 5 drinks ~ 1. Grande Iced White Mocha with whip, 2. Venti Americano with cream, 3. Venti Vanilla Late, 4.Venti Cinnamon Dolce Late, and last but not least, 5.Venti Triple shot White Mocha ~ 5 drinks ~ I order the 1st and am well on my way to ordering the second, when in mid sentence I get, "Is that everything ?"

Me, a little puzzled as I was in the middle of ordering the 2nd drink replied, "NOoooo !!"  ~ I go onto order 2nd drink ~ "So I have a #1 (to shorten story) and a #2, will that com....."

"I HAVE A TOTAL OF 5 DRINKS, SO HOW ABOUT you WAIT UNTIL I AM FINISHED AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN that is everything, HOW DOES THAT SOUND ?"

She agreed ~ I mean, did she really want to test me ?!?! ~ I finish monster java order ~ Proceed to window ~ Where I get asked, probably THE MOST inane question.......EVER !!!!!

" DO YOU WANT A DRINK CARRIER ? "

Are you KIDDING me ?!?!?!

No, I don't want a drink carrier, I think that I will make the 3 minute drive back to work, balancing 4 hot and 1 iced coffee drinks ~ Do you think that I could make it with a drink on each shoulder ~ Another on my head ~ Perhaps one on my, let's just say the right knee ~ And the last one, how about I hold it !!!

I must have had a look on my face of befuddled annoyance, because her response.  You'll love this.......

To Whom it May Concern :

People, seriously.....LEARN....HOW....TO....DRIVE !!!! Period. Please. It isn't that difficult. I swear. We live in the Evergreen State. E-V-E-R-G-R-E-E-N State. It isn't called that because we spray paint the trees and grass that color. We are called that, because it rains 9 months out the year. Rain isn't an oddity here. It's nothing new. But for whatever reason when it rains, y'all can't drive !!! You act as if the sky is falling and completely go mental !!! You no longer having ANY skill at driving. You stare at the sky in confusion and fear, trying to figure out exactly what is happening. It is RAIN !! We live in the Pacific NW, that's what it does here. It RAINS !!! I could maybe see wanting to go slow if it was the first rain, as the roads are generally slick. But this isn't the first rain. It has been raining for the past week. It hasn't stopped. I could even see wanting to drive slow if....IF there was an inch or 2 of standing water on the road. Which there isn't. You know why ? Because the Washington Department of Transportation Engineers knew how to bank the roads properly for drainage. So that means there isn't a lot of water on the road. It also means that you can drive normal speeds. If you want to ere on the side of caution, then by all means put some distance between you and the car ahead of you. This doesn't mean that you must put 5 car lenghts between you. If you are doing this, you shouldn't be driving. IF you are doing this because you brakes need to be replaced. You shouldn't be driving. Which brings me to another point. Turn signals and there functionality. They are, hang in there with me. For SIGNALING WHICH DIRECTION YOU ARE WANTING TO TURN OR WHICH LANE YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE. Really a fair simple feature. By using this feature on your vehicle it will allow YOU to NOT YELL at me for not letting you pull in front of me. As I am NOT a mind reader. I do not WANT to read your mind for fear of BOREDOM !!! I know how to USE my turn signals. I turn them on when I want to switch lanes. When one is signaling for a lane change this isn't a green flag for you to punch it and lay on the horn, screaming obscenities at me for your coming to the conclusion that I have just you off. If you feel the need to do this, again you shouldn't drive.

Now that I have ranted and raved, which was SO not what I was wanting to post today, I must give much love, props and shout outs to my cosmic twin for sharing me with her blogging friends and inviting them to come one over !!!!

You are the bestest Amy !!!!!
