All About MEme Monday: conquering the BLog world



All about ME me MOnday:

The Dingo Ate my Me-me... for your reading injoynment.





DV from MommyBrain ( my personal friend and editor to one day be ) and I decided to try and rule the Blogging world by creating our own blog type of carnival.. or whatever they're called. She was all like... " Hey, we're so cool that we should do one of those there thingys people do. " ( she was much more eloquent of course.. this is a former Award Winning Language Arts Teacher.. I think she won the Nobel prize Or something. I don't' know.. she knows what a preposition is and I can assure you she can red mark this post faster than you can say BOO-YA! )

We're all confident AND BLAZINGLY BOLD that we can compete with the big dogs, cuz we're all ego laden like that. We're shootin for 3 participants ... and we're GOLDEN YO!

Mama Kat! Watch out!
Dooce( whomever you are..) We're bringing up the rear...
ALL YOU PEEPS with like, 250 followers and Linky doo hickies... watch cher backs.


The little Pipsqueaks of bloggy land are taken over the world and conquering blog land... while dancing to Ne-yo. :) ( I know my DV will like that... cuz she gets Jiggy. Check out her Toddler Brain CLEAN UP SONG.... no wrist slitting Barney song involved.. pure GENIUS!)
'


So anyways... I ran with it. The whole blog conquer carnival doo hickey thingy. Decided on a Monday MEme... cuz DV was NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

MeMe's can be a total pain in the butt... I'm all like. NOOOOO.. don't tag me.. but they can also be be a source of topic if your brain has caught fire and is charred and crispy without idears to share.. I always enjoy re-working a Meme into something funny. Cause I'm annoyingly non serious.


Join me if you need something to post about... and if you like to say
"The Dingo ate my Me-Me. "

Cuz it's just funny.
But only if you say it right.

May may.

Today's Me-me.


Five quirks about MEme.

1. Hair grosses MEme out. My entire body is waxed. Call me Mikey Phelps.
Just kidding. Hair, as in, public places, ( yes there IS an "l") locker rooms etc. Hair droppings skeeve my shit out. I would rather leave the gym ( don't be fooled, I don't go to a gym) sweaty and B. O'd out... than go into the locker room. Public pools... Lord help me. It makes MEme want to toss my tomatoes. Invite me to the Local Y for a "swim play date." I'll lie like a rug and tell you I am hosting a way totally important charity event that day. One that does NOT involve pool decks and wet foreign hairs that cling to my innocent toes.


2. I don't wear socks to bed. Socks equal straight jackets for my toes.

3. If Pat Benetar plays on the radio. I cry. Hum a few bars of "We Belong..." .. it's as if I've downed a bottle of Riesling... and have found the ability to channel Billy Jean.
"I'm everywhere!"

4. I make lists. I make lists about my lists. I make lists that I don't really use. I just like to verbally vomit my mind junk onto a piece of paper as a way of purging. I am way totally organized about my mind vomit lists. I like to go green and use scraps of envelopes, backings of bills and ripped pieces of paper for my files.


5. If I see people singing live.. I cry. Throw in a gospel choir as a background and I fall to pieces. I imagine myself joining the choir, donning a robe and praising Jesus along with my robe clad counterparts. And if by some miracle they begin singing, WE Belong, by Pat Benetar...the fat girl in the purple robe, Channeling BIlly Jean...is not to be disturbed.

WE'RE STILL GOINNA RULE THE BLOG WORLD.. .ONE BLOG AT A TIME. ... call us Ann Ramano and .. and... her kid. But not the drugged out one.

We're clean. I wonder who DV will want to be. I bet she'll call shotgun for Barbara. She'll be all wavy hair blowin in the wind Barbara and I'll be all dorked out Anne-amano. Just ONCE DV. JUST THIS ONCE.


And if for some odd reason.. you'd like to be our Schneider ( We don't judge.)... well I suppose that would be ok.. applications are being accepted .. BELOW.. ( wink wink.)

Winner gets a prize.
No . I don't know WHUT yet.
Jeese-Louise-Maneese
Ga- reeeeedy.

Smiley emoticon.

This is my sis and I in our younger dayz. Days of the late 70's slash early 80's.
Most creative wins.

Do you know which one is me?
The fierce one.
Yeah. That's right.
FIERCE.


* I'll let sis choose her favorite.

Matthew Mcconaughey-hey


MatthewMcconaughey-hey.

That's my crush.
Mama Kat asked me and I'm tellin you straight up like a shot of Citron with a side of lemon.
My crush.
Mr. Hey hey.

Crush as in.. puppy love?

Hardly my friends.

This is a RATED M for mature Crush.

Crush as in.. when he smiles...my heart crushes inward like an accordian being man handled by some leder hosen clad polka player. He stops me in my tracks.


He is that crush-a licious.

And if he stepped foot into my abode ( and if my husband wasn't there to mess it all up, nor number 1, 2, or 3 child) I'd totally say that too him.

Why hello Mr... MatthewMcconaughey-hey.

Cuz I know it would go over well. I"m all smooth like that with the XY factors of the world.

Seems fitting that Matthew's sir name... involves my own coined term. A total SIGN in my book. It was meant to be.

"Hey heyyy.. " is a term my sis and I made up to describe... a time when for some odd reason, despite your best efforts at denying it, you feel that little tug.. that " hey heyyyyy... " and start imagining horizontal things.
Nuff said?
k.

And... if Mr. Matthew Hey Hey were to drop by... 338... I"d be seriously hey heying all over the place. Like some Hey hey hoboken.

You dig?



No messing around. No formality. Let's just MatthewMcconaughey-hey.

He appeared magically on Regis and Kelly yesterday, in re-run format.. like a breath of re-run serenity on my hectic First Day of Kindergarten craziness. All smiling slyly at me from his seat. I know what he was thinkin.

Duuurty!

HEY HEEEEEEYYY.. said his eyes.

Squeeeeeeeeze Polka-cordian went my heart.

I don't even care if he's some stinky granola crunch pot smoking horizontal hemper.
I have a shower. I like granola. I can hold off the lectures about the evils of pot smoking.

Provided he swings by in his trailer, parks it in front of my house for a bit, talks a little southern sweet tea to me...

I'll be allll good.

Hey Hey mr. Matthew.
Fancy meetin you here.
Where can you park your trailer??
well sir..
I 'll show you were to park your trailer.
Wink. Wink. ( Trip on pile of crap kids left on floor...)

SupahMOmmy... FOILED AGAIN.



Who would you Hey Hey if the stars aligned... and the world were your oyster?


Look at what A Little Messed Up made for me! sha-weeet!

MLBB: MY LIL BUDGET BOOK GIVEAWAY AND REVIEW





Budget budget budget.

It's hard to stick to a budget.

There's no one these days who hasn't been touched by this need to "pinch" a bit.

( booo hiisssss)

It's hard.


I can make it easier!


Meet My LIL Budget Book! (MLBB)






A wonderful Etsian named... Julie Thompson sells these little lovelies on her Etsy site. Inspired by her own family's need to pinch.. she created these beautiful and stylish little budget books that double as a cash envelope system.






They are adorned with juicy delish fabric on the outiside and have 8 tabbed sections for get t his: CASH / and or coupons etc. .


No more envelopes marked in your chicken scratch:



GAS


No more pulling out the GROCERY envelope when you meant to grab the ENTERTAINMENT envelope. ( ahem.. woops. )




Julie Thompson of MLBB has made it easy for us! It's the chic new way to be economical and budget minded. She sent me one to check out and I have not put it down since it came to me. So pretty!



Here's he lowdown peeps.


I LOVE IT.

It's darling.

It's nicely made with an elastic close tether.

It fits in my hand.

I can customize it to my families budget needs.

It eliminates the need for all those envelopes.



They are very affordable and come in a selection of sizes for varying needs!









MINI VINYL

LIL EcoFriendly

Lil VInyl

Big VInyl





SHAAA-WEET!



My goal in 2010 is to be a consistently budget minded individual and I think this little beauty will help. I'll at least look chic when I look into my PERSONAL ALLOWANCE section and see that it's EMPTY.



CURSE YOU ECONOMY!!

Just kidding. Can't blame the economy for overspending habits. ( who me??)


IF you are looking to become budget minded, both Julie and I highly recommend DAVE RAMSEY'S site for financial guidance. Julie uses many of his principles to help her family to continue to budget while her hubby finishes up his MBA and has limited working ability due to his schooling. ( I've been in the exact same shoes Julie, oddly enough! WVU MBA graduate hubby , 2006) Anyways.. Dave Ramsey's principles are smart and simple. CLICK ON HIM AND Check him out if you get a chance.



It is possible to get out of debt with a lot of hard work and persistance. Debit cards inspire overspending: My LIttle Budget Book inspires fiscal responsibility and awareness. :) She even has a blog dedicated to her little creation and the inspiration behind it.


MY LIL BUDGET BOOK BLOG





Julie will even Customize it for you if you choose to order one instead of gambling on a giveaway! She customized one for my hubby! A mini one.. that was manly enough to carry around.


DBD needed one in order to participate in my 09-10 debt plan! I thought her custom listing for me was HILARIOUS!

I heart Facebook. I heart bloggin

I freaking love Facebook and MY blog.
Love it SO MUCH it makes me giddy.

I am a sad lonely fool. Feel for me.

Anyways.. let's swing my manic back to happy.

HAPPY!
I LOVE your comments. Here , there , everywhere. I FREAKING LOVE THEM.

Some of my best conversations: my best one liners.. come during the backstage conversations after an initial comment. I look forward to them like a stripper looks forward to Friday nights.

So how do you rake in the comments on a blog your wrote?

It's so hit or miss.. what you get people to respond to. What baits people to start tapping the keyboard.

It's my own personal fishin hole.
Not ice though. I'm no outdoorsy coldy typa girl.


I love fishin for your comments. Better yet.. my ego is so grandiouse... that..let's be truthful.. I love fishin for your com(pli)ments. Keep them coming. It makes me feel like I was all picked first for the team. And not left standing, pickin my butt while you choose Erma Sue before me.


So many factors might determine a good bloggin comment day.. or facebook comment status day. How many catches you go home with.

Things I have learned about fishing.

If you talk about Kate Gosselin. Dude.. people are all about it. Lots of people love to weigh in on the whole hot mess of a show. Me included.


If you talk about your stupid duh duh duh husband. People relate. Totally. My husband is re-stupid. HE TOTALLY PISSED ME OFF yesterday.
He is so re-stupid in fact, that I deleted him as a friend from my facebook page today. And then... continued the assnine-ity.. and changed my marital status...

I had a hard time choosing between
Single
and
It's complicated.

Anyone say PASSIVE AGRESSIVE MUCH??
I decided to just go with "married." Total wimp out. I. KNOW.

But I was sure to delete him from my 'MARRIED TO' status. And I hit the delete button extra hard. TAKE THAT RE-STUPID ASSH*LE.


If you talk about a choice you are weighing... people love to give advice.

NOte: If you are stupid enough to talk about FORMULA VS. BREASTFEEDING. Well then. I hope you brought like 56 coolers cuz you are soooooo in for it. It'll start off all nice... but then.. lord lord.. then....

So today. I posted about my little love bunny and her need to ride the bus to her very first ever day of Kindergarten. I also posted about my own needs, not to let her.

read; anxious anxiety filled mother: who is still searching google for a "bubble suit in her sizing." She's a slim. Protective bubbles seem to only come in regular sizes. Still looking though!

I had some peeps weigh in. ANd it actually helped me to decide, but not before I yucked it up a bit ( that means laughed it up a bit) ...

Here you go. Be sure to check tomorrow for my new GIveaway.. MY LIL BUDGET BOOK..:

I would think it would be easier for her to ride it from the start, since they expect that k'ers don't know what they are doing on the first day of school and will really watch out for them those first few days, making sure they get it.

gina- good point... I might as well get what I can out of the system while she's little enough not to scratch my eyes out with teenager angst

MJ- that is a fantastic point as well... safety patrol that I am.. I did not even TH INK of those things... I'll just have to become a crossing guard or bus duty person on day 16 when safety consistency fades...lol...

Shane- if you only had an O somewhere in your name.. I could spell asshole with the letters.

David- u r correct a mundo... WHHS class of 93 survived a shooting and metal detectors.. what's a little 5 min busride right? I hope they have bus marshalls on board each bus.

GLoria- do not yell at me... i YELL BACK .:)

Cathy- good call.. luckily I can have that because they only offer one way in or one way out.. depending on am or pm.. so she'll bus in and be picked up.

to be cont'd.

Gloria- I actually did think of that fact while I was showering the other day. I died a little at the mere thought of getting 3 in the car, on time and to a school where it counts if she goes or doesn't go. good point.

Betty- thank you for your points.. well made. I too plan to follow her up to school.. I just was planning on hopping on the back bumper to take pic through the window... think the bus driver will take it easy on speed bumps? It's an expensive camera you know..

Kirsten: I am gasping a little at that fact. I am also remembering what I may or may not have learned during my own bus experiences. You appeal to my heart while all these other savages appeal to my sensibility. What to do...

Krista- you are right. She 's very excited to ride the bus. So excited in fact.. it makes me weep seeing her smile.

I think I'll let her ride tomorrow.. because it's time to let go a bit. I just need to get my application in for bus marshall and maybe i"ll be on her bus.

So I'm letting her ride to her first day of Kindergarten. I'm sure I"ll join many in posting about the sweetness of the first day.. except mine will be riddled with something ridiculous that happens that confirms the fact that I SUCK AT PARENTING. :)

How do you get peeps to comment? What topics are hot buttons? ( durty)
