Mission Failed

 Hi everbody (waving),

So how was your weekend? You ready for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? I won’t ask if your ready for Friday I know the answer to that one. HELL YEAH! Bring on Friday. Am I right? Who’s with me? Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday (chanting).

Soooooo………

As you all are aware I was suppose to start posting my weekly Coffee challenge this Friday.  But due to circumstances beyond my control I was not able to go out in public this week. If you follow me on Twitter then you most likely heard that I got a stye on my right eye and that it ended up getting infected causing my eye to swell up and giving me that perfect I just got knocked out of the ring look.

This is exactly how I looked

My eye looked so bad that I ended up going to the ER on Sunday. The Doctor told me what it was and that it would take 4-5 days to go away. Since I didn’t feel like getting sued for causing emotional and psychological trauma, this whole week I stayed indoors and kept myself hidden in the shadows, but when I did venture out I used my hair to cover half of my face.  People who did get to see me either thought I was going emo or just a big Justin Beiber fan.

My new Justin Bieber look. I think this look makes me look chic.

 

Since my eye is much better (thank you for asking), I promise, pinky swear, cross my heart stick a needle in my eye, wait maybe not the needle in my eye part, that I’ll post my coffee challenge results this Friday.   The name is still up in the air its between The Coffee-Con or The Coffee Nabber, maybe Ishould just change the name every Friday some witty or silly title that will be coffee related.

Also I would like to thank Gina  my sweet Twitter friend for being my first guest blogger. Yay!!! If you havent yet read her post please do so here.

And the Oscar goes to…..

ME!

Were you expecting me to announce someone else? Silly people! Why else would I post a blog about awards if isn’t about moi. Well… can you believe that I was awarded not 1 not 2 but 3 blogger awards. Yaaaa…..

Twice for being the sweet gal that I am. I tell you eating all that ice-cream, candy and cake has finally paid off.

Then wouldn’t you know it, I get a Memetastic Award! I’m not sure what this award  is exactly for.  I first thought it was for having fantastic mammary. They are rather nice, but I think the award is for something else! Never the less, since it makes me feel fantastically special… I’ll take it!

 The Incredibly Sweet Award (X2)

This award was passed on to me by Marina Sleeps this is what she had to say “Cause seriously this might be all she knows. Plus she is funny as hell and she likes me. Double points.” 

Yes Marina I try my best to be funny but about liking you… well you sort of make it hard not to like you.

The second person to also honor me with the same award is Suucudesal5’s Blog. She had this to say about me “I enjoy her. She blogs about real shit like kids and family and daily stuff. I love that she dedicated a blog to being bored and what she found on line while being bored.” 

I’m happy that you have enjoyed my posts! However,  aren’t you even more happier that I don’t blog about kid’s shit? And how could I pass a post about being bored. We all get bored sometime during the day, to which I’m sure we  have all asked ourselves, now what can I do?

So thank you both for thinking I’m sweet enough to deserve this award! Now.. the rules are as followed

1. Display award 2. State 5 truths about myself  3. Give this award to 5 other  people

State 5 “truths’” about myself 

1. I have a terrible addiction to ice. Real Ice! Not methamphetamines! I can crunch on ice all day till my jaws and teeth start hurting. I’m pretty sure all the ice chomping is prematurely grinding and sharpening my teeth! but I can’t stop. I wonder why I loose so so many boyfriends?
2. I have a fish and fly eye phobia. Just typing this now is giving me the ibby chibbies….. ewwwww
3. I cry like a baby when it comes to animals.  I’m a big animal lover; not to be confused with a crazy pet lover. I consider my doggies truly part of my family!
4. I’m an almost borderline hoarder! I can’t get myself to throw things away. I can make up very creative excuses to keep functional yet unneeded stuff.
5. It really upsets me when people automatically speak to me in Spanish! Although I speak Spanish fluently

Now I have to pass this award to 5 other people it doesn’t state 5 other bloggers so I shall pass it on to

@GinaTheMinPin: She has been the sweetest girl on Twitter I have met so far. From the start she has always been sweet, nice, comforting a great twitter friend. animal lovers are just naturally very caring and sweet people. She was a comforting soul and was with us thru out Tiki Tiki’s passing.

Follow the Wabbit: He has the cutest blog with adventures thru the city with a rabbits point of view. Literally! The pictures are really creative and interesting.

Simply Diane: I really enjoy reading her blog. Her writing is down to earth and easy to relate to. She has been Freshly Pressed on WordPress twice now! She’s practically a celebrity.

Lets leave it at 3 and pretend it was 5 if that’s ok with you all. Now lets head to the second award I was given.

The Memetastic Award

This Memetastic award was handed over by Marina Sleeps. Again, she has nothing but nice things to say about me. “First, that name is a trip and she is funny. Plus her tweets are hilarious. I call her Hollywood.”

I’m starting to believe that Marina might have a girl crush on me. Hey don’t get me wrong, that’s fine with me! As long as she doesn’t suddenly show up outside my window wearing a gray trench coat, holding a boom box over her head, playing what she believes to be  “our song”

As a caveat for receiving a Memetastic award, I must display it and list 5 things about myself, four of which must be lies and you must try to guess which one is true. Then I must pass on the award to 5 deserving bloggers.

5 things about myself

1.  I lived in Paris for a year  just to study the fine art of cooking at Le Cordon Bleu.

2.  I truly enjoy watching people chew gum it’s a secret fetish I have

3.  When I was 13 years old, I lived alone in Mexico for almost 5 years.

4.  My family belongs to one of the five founding NY mafia families.

5.  I’m a vegetarian.

There you have it my 4 truths and 1 lie…. Oh wait! It’s the other way around! Doesn’t matter, I could be lying about everything! So there!

Lets pass this Memetastic Award to some lucky bloggers.  I’m not going to explain why, take my word for it, they deserve it. Plus its super late I’m tired and getting cranky.

(drum roll please)

Bridget Jones Has Nothing on Me

Living Dilbert

Girl on The Contrary

The Worst Mother

Tiny Island

Ok! my commitment to you is now done. Go away and live me alone!

I Was Bored

Did you know that everyday there are hundreds of people who go to Google and type in the term “I’m bored“.  I found this out because I was bored as I waited for my daughter to finish on whatever it is she was doing  in the kitchen  and I was wondering what can I do meanwhile on the internet when I’m bored. I  didn’t feel like logging onto Tweeter or checking Facebook yet again. But it turns out a lot of people are looking for fun things to do when bored .

It’s good that bored people have a lot of company; at least they’re not bored and lonely. I also found searches saying “I’m so bored.”  This should make all the “I’m bored” people feel a lot better.  They can say, “Well, at least I’m not so bored.”

And get this…..a whole lot of bored people search for stupid stuff to do when bored.  None of these people search for smart stuff to do when bored.  So does this mean that bored people are stupid?  Or does it mean that bored people are smart but just prefer to do stupid things?  Maybe doing  stupid things are much more fun than doing smart things.

So if you’re really bored, and I’m guessing you are since you are reading this right now, there is a website dedicated to things to do when your bored. I clicked on it and browsed for a bit but then I got bored and left. There  is also one called Bored To Death if you enjoy just looking at photos this one is for you.

Well now I’m bored again, so I’m off to the kitchen I believe there is still some banana cream pie left from dinner.

Wee Wee Wee!

Geico puts a new twist to the old nursery ryhme of the little piggy who cried “wee! wee! wee!” all the way home. 

How can a  piggy going wee wee wee  amuse me so. Because it’s so darn funny and cute. Now if only  Sisi could get a piggy friend.

What do you think?

Classy and Stylish

(clearing throat) ummm…. Here I am. Sitting in front of my computer, wondering what the hell I have to be funny about today.

It was hot as hell! Or maybe it just felt that way because I drive around in a car without air! Making me look very Classy and stylish with my glistering pearls of sweat running down my bright (tomato red) smiling face.

Okay…… Okay, humor seems to have deserted me for the moment. Maybe once I cool down.

My iPhone 4 Affair Part II

I really want to try out the Facetime feature! Have you heard the newest trend? Adult entertainment companies want to utilize the facetime feature to expand the old “900 sex chat” to the newest of technology! Bravo I say iPorn! How imaginative is that! Never the less, to try facetime, both you and your friend have to be on Wi-Fi and have an iPhone 4.  Aside from Master, none of my friends have an iPhone4, so I haven’t had the opportunity to try FaceTime out.

I don’t know if it’s just me or did I get a bad phone?  Apart from the death grip problem, that has been the talk of the apple town, on several occasions, I have dialed a number but nothing has happened.  It just doesn’t want me to speak to whomever I’m trying to call I guess!  I have also noticed that the screen blacks out on times, completely randomly, without any rhyme or reason.  I’ll press on the top button a couple of times, shake it vigorously (because shaking things fix’s everything), there’s just nothing on the screen display! Until, yet again without any rhyme or reason, the screen inexplicably reappears and starts working gain.  The scariest “fail” moment was the weekend my phone’s display showed me a “Temperature Warning”!! WTF! My phone wasn’t even being used; it wasn’t even warm to the touch! I couldn’t do anything! I couldn’t restart it; I couldn’t turn it off, nothing! After several attempts to remove the warning, I gave up and handed the phone to the ohhh so able hands of Master. He gently caressed the phone, as if he was reuniting with an old lover, then out of nowhere! Bam! He pushed her into submission and did a hard reset! Take that! Once it restarted the warning sign was gone.

I still need to order my free bumper, learn how to upgrade the software and figure out if to jailbreak or not?  I’d ask Master but as he has mentioned to me before “that’s not my area of expertise“(wink wink.).  So if anyone out there has any suggestions or tips please let me know, I would appreciate any information.

My iPhone 4 Affair Part1

Now that I’ve spent some quality time with the iPhone 4 I’m still not sure if I completely love it or not.

The overall sleek look is awesome! Well that is if you can tell that it’s an iPhone 4! I’m so paranoid about scratching it that I have a super ugly, ill-fitting plastic cover from the iPhone 3G on it.  It’s one of those pet peeves of mine!  I never like to remove the nice protective plastic film that wraps most new electronics.  I prefer to use electronic devises with the factory protective film on it. Suffice it to say, my new iPhone not only has the protective film on the front and the back, but the 3G cover as well! Like using two condoms at once one might say. Better safe than sorry!  Huh, Master likes to use his bare! No protection at all!!  (O.o)! So, in reality, I really can’t enjoy the sleek new design and most people can’t even tell it’s the new iPhone 4! So much for bragging rights! I had my iphone4 before most…. Beyoootch! Maybe once I get the bumper others can see how cool I am.

The camera on the iPhone 4 is a huge upgrade.  It is much much better than the camera on the 3G. The most notable feature, aside from it now being 5 megapixel resolution, is that there is much less shutter lag when taking shots. This comes in handy since the doggies won’t pose for me and I can more effectively sneak taking pictures of all the random weird people at Costco.  The pictures seem much prettier.  I’m not sure if it’s because of the camera or the new display, which now features more pixels than your eyes, can register on the screen, making everything sharper and clearer.  The other super cool feature is the high definition videos one can take on the go! It’s simply amazing! I remember the first VHS camcorders that were thousands of dollars and the size of full movie cameras back in the day. Now it all fits in your pocket and I can now take endless cute videos of Tiki Tiki and the rest of the gang with my phone!

I get bored easily. Really easily… some might say I have ADD. Ohh! I just remembered a killer muffin receipe! Darn there I ago again off track… you see!!! So, because I’m a woman with the ability to multitask, I think it is great to be able to listen to Pandora while checking my e-mail or surfing the Internet.  Much like a monogamous relationship, who wants to do just one thing at a time anyways!

Human Vending Machine

Main aritcle on MSN’s front page  Unusual Vending Machine Foods Around the World.  Hmmm….how very intersting Pizza and Fries from a vending machine, this I have to see for myself. So I clicked over to  Youtube to see how The Pizza  and French Fries vending machines work. But found this vending machine much more intersting and super hilarious.
