I was once accused by someone with a very small mind of using “black magic” on her. I was also confronted about this by one of her followers.

It’s pretty ridiculous because I have never studied any “black magic” and it was all based on an assumption…and you know what happens when you ASSUme.

What’s actually amusing is wondering which scenario was worse for her: if I DID use said “black magic” or the fact that I’ve never had to resort to that?

After watching the video for “U Can’t Touch This,” I must agree with M.C. Hammer: if dance to this, you WILL get thinner.

I sometimes wonder if Vanilla Ice and “Ice Ice Baby” are just sociological experiments on a grand scale.

While he was searching for his laptop in the darkened living room, hubby used the light from his cell phone to see and caught the dog licking her lady parts as the cat perched in front of her to watch the show. Those two furry gals are something else.

Luke 12:2-3 
But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

…because sometimes, the most righteous and the self-righteous need a reminder.

Dear girl-who-tried-to-park-her-large-SUV-(poorly)-in-a-compact-space-over-the-lines-and-onto-our-spot,

You left your inside lights on.
Karma sucks, huh?

Sincerely,
A fellow motorist.

“Someone asked me if when people write mean stuff on Twitter or in comments, does that upset you? And it’s like, no, not really, because anyone I really respect - like other comedians or Apatow - I’ve never heard of them doing something like that. Do you know of anyone you admire or respect that’s randomly shitted on something in a comments section? Just written “you suck” to someone or “you’re not funny?” No. No one that’s made anything of value or created anything great does stuff like that.” Aziz Ansari on You Made It Weird (via andrewmcclain)

Come to think about it…

Apparently there are “Woo Girls” (ex. “Wooooo! That’s my favorite song!!”) in the Salsa scene. Who knew?

Christmas Blessings

There’s this meme I’ve seen several times, as I’m sure millions of others have because it’s very popular. The background varies, but the message pretty much stays the same: “This time last year was so different.” Every time I have read it, I have liked it because it was always true-good or bad.

Today was a little different though. I was figuring out a way to wrap my husband’s Christmas present. Actually, I had wrapped it, but wanted to place the gift in a box (I figure it’s more fun that way). After I wrapped it, I finally figured out how to solve the problem of packaging it in the box. Hallelujah! There was just one more problem: the adorable kittens and puppies wrapping paper I purchased just for wrapping this gift was not enough for the gift AND the large box. I started thinking about patching up the different wrapping papers I had, but was really not digging the whole idea of mismatched paper. I then remembered that I had some leftover wrapping paper from last year. I dug it out of the corner and, lo and behold, it was enough. More than enough, really!

Delighted, I started wrapping the box and then I started crying just a bit as I was overwhelmed thinking about just how different life was last year.
As a matter of fact, I have been thinking about that a lot lately. When we first got here, we did a lot of dollar store grocery and household shopping; going to Walmart was a splurge to get things-and you can forget about frequent trips to Fresh and Easy or Ralph’s (especially after our first night in our California home purchase-scary). This year we aren’t shopping at upscale grocery stores, but our trips to the dollar store are more limited to paper products and novelties. We are now able to shop at other places for our groceries and manage to survive financially.

Our Christmas last year was very humble, to say the least. We had a small, simple meal at home and our gifts were on a real limited budget. Now, I ADORE the gift my husband gave me; in fact, I’m wearing that necklace tonight. However, I hadn’t felt like I had been able to give my husband a good enough gift, as my options were limited with the budget. Fortunately, this year I have been blessed to have been able to get him a gift I think he’ll truly enjoy. It’s nothing out of this world, but it’s a nice gift for him and he really deserves something special for being a wonderful husband. Last year, there was no way in the world I could have gotten him this gift (or anything in the vicinity), but this year, I WAS. I have to thank God for really looking out for us through this year & always providing and helping us manage when things weren’t as fruitful.

I do know that my honey was able to get me something as well, and I’m certain I’ll enjoy it, but I’m really looking forward to seeing my husband open his gifts this year, and well, all the fun meals we’ll be preparing together!
