Thankful Thursday...Bitchville Edition

I am in a cranky mood this morning…beware….(and it’s not even “that time of the month.”) Hopefully, I can stop this crazy train to Bitchville with my “Thankful Thursday” post. Think I can do it? Hmmm…let’s give it a whirl…

I am thankful for this guy….


He made watching American Idol bearable for me last night. I LOVE David Cook…love to hear him sing and his eye candy-ness (yes, I just made that a word) is suh-weet!

I am thankful for Catherine’s six year old sense of humor…

“Mom, do you want to play “Blend-in” Bridge? (London Bridge)

“Are you guys watching “Pirates of Your Favorite Band” again? (Pirates of the Caribbean..hee hee)

“Bone yard looks full today, huh?” (as we were driving by a cemetery!)

I am thankful for Tween Caveboy’s newfound desire to keep his long shiny locks healthy and clean. I'm also thankful he's become an amazing Zombie Killer.

(I hate flaming zombies...)

I am thankful for Rae Ann @ Critical Mass for tagging me to share 7 things you may not know about me. (hope you don’t need therapy after this…)

1. Balloons freak me out. I can’t be around them. My kids, however, enjoy using them as instruments of torture on me. (Don't even try to make a balloon animal around me...I will go postal on you...It won't be pretty...)



2. I think clowns are a menace to society.


3. I love pumpkins. (this may have something to do with the fact that I grew up in Circleville, OH…home of the world’s largest Pumpkin Festival…)


Baby Boos are my favorites!

(We sell lots of these at Black Crow Boutique! They come in orange too!)

4. Because I live in a rural community, my wireless high speed internet is limited to 5 gb per month. This has put a HUGE damper on my stalking abilities. I cannot even tell you how much grieving I’ve been doing this past week over not being able to visit ya’ll daily. It’s like a knife in my heart…


5. I LOVE Halloween! (I even own a Halloween shop, Black Crow Boutique! I will tell you all about it very soon…some of the giveaway items are from my shop…)

6. I used to play tag in graveyards with my cousins and friends. Creepy, but fun!

7. I love to watch Ghost Hunters with the Tween Caveboy.



If you want this meme, grab it and enjoy!

I am grateful for Debra at Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History & Ashley Amazing for sharing this awesome award with me!


Thank you, ladies! You know I love you! I suck with a capital S at giving out awards, so everyone who reads this today, please share in my love and post this on your blog!

I am grateful for Noah’s Mommy at Project Mommyhood for including me in her 10 Blog Reads! That rocks my socks off!

I am grateful to Misadventurous Mommy and her giveway that I won! Woo Hoo! (very special to me because of Chilly's heart situation!)


I am grateful to all of you for reading this cranky post of mine!
I hope you will come and visit me on Monday for my 100th post so I can show you how grateful I am!!! (here’s a linky to check out some of the goodies I will be giving away!)

p.s. My frown is now upside down:)

Tom said…
I'm with you on the clown issue. I have two words about clowns 1)Poltergeist, and 2) John Wayne Gacy. What kind of person would want to be a clown?
I can totally relate! I get raging PMS - it's about to start any time now. It's a good think my husband is out of town. LOL

I loved reading your 10 things. I also love Halloween! And clowns are freaky!

I hope you have a great day that will cure your PMS!

XOXO

THIS is your CRANKY post?

Oh, Honey. You're, like, one notch above 'slightly irritated' at teh start, but then you're totally Pollyanna after that. I don't think you need to worry.

I, on the other hand, would have chewed off someone's face by line 4. Next time you want to be cranky, give me a call and I'll give you some pointers!
I wouldn't mind being around you on an off day.

You are the best!!

Smilie:)

Clowns truly make me want to cry. I'm VERY freaked out by them. Halloween is one of my all time fav times of the year! Ghost Hunters is my guilty pleasure. I'm so diggin on Jason. :)
Alexis AKA MOM said…

Raven said…
I love yer cranky posts most of all, I think. It's nice to know that I'm not the ONLY one out there who is annoyed by a lot of things.

We watched Ghost Hunters last nite, but I'm pretty much over that show. The minute things SEEM to get exciting on their end, they decide to wrap it up. Grrr...

And, the hubs plays Boxhead Zombie Wars when he takes a break. He's told me that I should feel very secure should we EVER come under attack. I feel so safe.

...sent you an email! Smile a lot today, Beauty! We all love you!

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
