It's MeMe ME! :)

OKay, So the Grumblies did a MeMe the a while back, & it looked like fun. 

Since she invited anyone to join in, I decided to take the bait!

MeMe Rules:

1- Photo of me

2-10 randoms

3-Q&A

4-Tag!

Cheese!:

Randomly Random:

1. Right now I'm enjoying a delicious Fruit & Maple Oatmeal from MckyD's...YUM! :D

2. My husband & I like to have random contests with each other... Like food eating, wrestling, noise making, dancing & scary movie screaming.

3. I have to have music when showering or I become bored & fall asleep.

4. When I first started writing blogs, I used to capitalize Every Single Word.

5. I like to save little animals from being in the road... even little fergs. <3
(See todays 366 picture below!)

6. I'm very intolerant of citrus... but will still drink orange juice...

even though it makes it hard for me to breathe! (It's soooo yummy!)

7. I have horrible hearing, & tend to hear things 

very different then they were actually said. 

Example:

Me: Babe, come eat this sandwich that you wanted.

Ry: Naw, I don't want it right now.

Me: Babe! you asked for it! Why are you not eating it?

Ry:  ...*silence*...

Me: Babe! Come here.

Ry: NO! Your gonna beat me... *smiles*

Me: Uh! How rude!

Ry: What? 

Me: Why would you say you think I'm gonna eat you? 

Ry: *can't stop giggling*

Me: Not funny, babe. Rude.

Ry: *still giggling*

8. I'm going back to school on the 30th, and am very nervous about it... 

especially since I'm still trying to get pregnant.

9. My Hubbly thinks it is necessity that I purchase a unicorn peachie, a backpack, & Lisa Frank pencils before going back to school... otherwise, I won't be cool enough.

10. Since my husband & I are graveyard shift people, I tend to get frustrated if I miss the sun because I'm sleeping. So during the week I try to get up in the morning at about 10am, have a cup of coffee out on the porch in the sun, then go back to sleep.

  Q and the A time:

1. If you didn't have a/kid(s) right now where do you think you'd be?
Well, since we don't have any kids yet (unless you count Dani) then I'm gonna answer this backwards. Where do I think we would be if we DID have a/kid(s). If we hadn't experienced the miscarriage, our baby would be around 10 months old this month. We would be getting to know our baby more & more each day, and counting down the days, planning for that first birthday this summer. Our baby would probably be very attached to Niecie, since I'm sure Melissa & I would have them together as much as possible. We probably would have already moved, or would be closer to moving back to Spokane at this point as well.  

2. What's your most annoying trait?
 I talk WAY to much. I normally don't realize that it's to much and will go on & on until people are almost asleep. I also move my lips when other people are talking. Very subtly, like I know what your gonna say while your saying it. I don't even realize I'm doing it until it gets pointed out to me. And I mother. I mother EVERYTHING & EVERYONE. I don't mean to, its just who I am. 

3. Ryan Gosling or Taye Diggs?Oh. Ryan. Definitely... 

 via
(Because that's my Hubbly's name, of course!) ....yea right. ;)

 
4. When are you at your best?
When I'm around people that keep me calm, relaxed, & make me laugh.


 5. What is the answer to the universe?

Music, Laughter & Life.
 
6. What do you geek out for?

Babys & Pigs.

Bring a baby pig around me & I'll probably need sedation.

 
7. GLEE or Criminal Minds?

What do you think?
 
8. What is your superpower?

If I recognize an actors voice, I can tell you almost instantly what else they were in. You can also give me any two-line lyrics from a song & I can prob tell you what song it's from. 
If i had to choose a super power, it would be to control the weather. 
Ryan wants to be invisible.  :)
 
9. If you could LIVE anywhere, where would it be?

For a short time, like a few years... Italy. 
But for the rest of my life? Probably here, in Seattle. It's home.
 
10. Favorite Blog?
To read? OMG there are so many... The one I check daily is my girlie Linds over @ Ot&Et. I can't get enough of that girl & her two adorable lil chitlins'! Also I tend to always read S.I.F., For The Love of Writing, Blogging Dangerously, A Grimm Tale, Time to Shine, My Beautiful Disaster, & Words Alone among many MANY others...  

Now I'm supposed to tag people. I would love to see what anyone has to say, so if you want to do it, DO IT!  Just leave me a comment letting me know you did so I can read them! :) But I guess I should do a few tags, so here it goes:

Today's photo:

...Tic-Tac-Toe..Three in a Row...

...And my was he amazing...

Hmm.
Why does everything we enjoy, always seem better with quantity?
More ounces to the coffee, more square footage to the place,  buy 2 get the third half off,
 or even buy one and get one free...

Why do we never seem pleased with what we get?
 When is enough enough??

I ask myself these questions when I feel I'm being greedy. Hoping that some other voice will pop into my head and tell me its okay to think of ME every now and again...

And it is, no doubt...
but sometimes the things we are blessed with at the moment are meant to be exactly that... for the moment.

Lets take shopping.

Honestly, it makes me feel better. Walking into a place and having something catch my attention enough that I am willing to spend MORE time walking into the dressing room to the dutiful task of trying it on. And when I make the decision to spend the green.. I can sigh a little and feel the butterflies start in the pit of my stomach trying to figure out when is the soonest I will get to wear this new treasure!

But the saddest part?
Now I need to go to the next store to find cute shoes to go with the new outfit.. and jewelry from the next store... One-Two-Three.

There is always a 1-2-3 punch.

And later when I get my bank statement I will come to the conclusion that I SHOULD have just stuck with the first punch... and come back for the rest...

But I NEED It!

 Multiples to bring that orgasmic feeling of pleasure back 2 more wonderfully alluring times before I have had my fill...

...Speaking of...

Orgasms.
One of the BEST multiples EVER discovered.

I really don't care if they are different each time as long as I GET them. Sure I feel bad for the poor stud-muffin gripping his side because of the stitch I just gave him, trying his best to hide his agony and play the handsome card.. I Feel for him.

But O! 

What you have just done for me was Sooooo worth your pain.

So sorry,  I guess.. No,  Not REALLY..
 but I do feel a little bad..
Does that count?

Oh boy.

Wanna go Puddle Jumpin??

I live in Seattle. THE Capital of rain.

I love it here...The seasonal smells, the people, the sky, the trees, the moss..

even the temperamental weather.

But as I am sitting here by my bedroom window listening to the rain pouring out of our broken rain gutter, I feel a personal realization.

I don't have rain boots.

Now as random and un-serious as this might sound.. I remember something else. I have NEVER had rain boots.. at least, not that I can remember.

HOW is this possible?! 

I have lived here my entire LIFE! On top of having a small fascination with extremely cute shoes.. INCLUDING adorable "PuddleJumpers" as I have always called them... Rain boots are like a living staple in most Seattle female's wardrobe!
But to have never owned any..ever??

UNHEARD OF!

And I LOVE going Puddle Jumping! 
I just never think about rubber boots until I'm pulling the wet icky socks off of my frozen little feet.
It's not like we have ugly, normal rain boots either, no way...
we have all KINDS to choose from.. 

Red, Blue, yellow, green, spotted, & striped rain boots...

Croc Rainboots

Ladybug Rainboots,

HelloKitty rain boots.. 

You can even pay around $200 down at the mall for a pair of Burberry Rainboots.

Now I want cute PuddleJumpers as much as the next girl.. but I am NOT about to pay $200 for some.. I really don't want to pay more that $25-$30 for them. So I do what any sensibly smart, quick thinking girl would do...

I head to Wal-Mart. 

"Baby, you have Really never had any rain boots?"  Ryan teases with a playful smile  "You must have at SOME point...Everybody has had rain boots..."

Jerk.

So I march full force towards the shoe department, searching the isles until I find that small but full rain boots section.. "What the Heck?" i'm in shock! all they have are ugly Black or Blue boots! "Are they serious?!" They have a TON of cute PuddleJumpers for little ones, 

but apparently.. if you are over the age of  6.. 

your not allowed to have cute boots from WallyWorld.

I was so excited to have my first pair of PuddleJumpers.. and now? SHOT DOWN.

I was so sad.

"I'm sorry babes.. we will find you some, I promise."

I was really looking forward to Puddle Jumping with him that night.

So I give up and start to walk out with my head hanging low.. defeat pulling in quick, when out of the corner of my eye, in the back of the shelf on the very end, there is a large pair of bright YELLOW boots!

"Wait! Babe! YELLOW! I like Yellow!?!"

Ryan looked at me like I had shouted that I like being windmill kicked in the face.

"Since when do you like yellow? I'm not sure you do.. do you even OWN anything yellow..."

But when he looks up at me he stops short in his questioning. I think the death grip on the only possibility of "cute" boots and the angry don't-cross-me glare scared him a bit.

"I like yellow."

"Okay babe. you like yellow.. Try them on.."

They were so big I felt like I was wearing giant rubber clown shoes.

"They are PERFECT!"

The look on my hubby's face at that point told me he wasn't as convinced as I was.

"You can barely walk."

"I can walk PERFECT!"

*ClompClompClomp*

"Babe those are to big, you look like a clown."

*ClompClompClomp*

"You look like a clown! They are PERFECT!"

*ClompClomp-trip-Clomp*

"Oops! Im good!

"Babe.. try on a different pair.. or we can go somewhere else...wait babe.. what about these!?"

As I am desperately trying to walk like a normal human so he will believe me I turn around to see what he's found that has made his voice sound so relieved. There he is, standing in the middle of the isle, holding above his head like John Cusack  holds the radio.. a pair of Hot PINK rain boots!

(Let me remind you.. PINK is my favorite color.. 

most of the time, if its pink.. 

I buy it. 

It's more than an addiction.. its a disease.)

And with the quick shriek of excitement I twist around to run towards him.. but my giant yellow boots don't move as quick as my tiny feet. In all reality they do their job very well, stick to the laminate WalMart floor, and don't move at all. This results in a very ungraceful, very embarrassing Kerflop onto the floor.

My yellow clown boots, still standing in exactly the same place I just was 4 seconds ago. 

I stayed face down for about 2 seconds breathing deeply, before slowly looking up at Ryan, standing 10 feet away.

He has the biggest grin on his face.

"Don't."

*giggle*

"Ryan. Leave it."

(I'm pulling myself off the floor at this point)

*giggle-stiffle-giggle*

"Go past it Ryan. Nothing just happened here."

When I finally get the courage to look at Ryan, he is staring at me.. holding his breath.. the biggest smile still plastered to his big stupid face. I carefully reach up, and take the boots from his hands and place them on the floor. My feet are already shoe-less, so I just step right into the new pink boots and wiggle down into them. They fit perfect.. for REAL. 

(& They are only $10!)

I'm trying my hardest to focus on my boots.. even though I know my stupid git of a husband is still standing there smiling at me, knowing I have now provided him his latest  

I-love-my-very-special-wifey story.

He picks up the discarded, still standing yellow boots and begins to walk towards the check-out.

"Your right, I think these ones are perfect. I think I want to keep them around... for memories sake...plus, they should fit me just fine." He giggles.

"There's no possible way to convince you to never tell anyone about this is there?"

"Never in a million years"

Figures so much.

At least I still get to go Puddle Jumping...
