Monkey Monday Minute

This week's Monday Minute has been renamed, and for a very important reason. Please click the button and head on over to Michelle's site read more.


1 - How old do you act? I don't know how old I ACT, but I certainly look like I'm about 15.  


2 - As far back as you can remember, what did you want to be when you grew up? I always wanted to be a lawyer, but now that I've actually been to college and gotten a look at how the real world works, I'd rather be a lady of leisure.


3 - If you were to write a book based on your life, what would the title be? This one stumped me, I can't imagine every wanting to write a book about my life, unless of course something super exciting happens during the rest of my life.


4 - What's something that you do that's considered "childish" by most? I really love cheesy Disney Channel and Fox Family movies.  Just can't get enough of those!


5 - The last question isn't a question.  Write a story of a time of when you or someone you know overcame great adversity.  I have this amazing, wonderful friend who lost both of his parents when he was a teenager and was diagnosed with brain cancer in his early twenties.  He could have taken those experiences and become a very negative and angry person.  But he survived the cancer (which has come back and he's kicking it's ass AGAIN!) and is the kindest, funniest person.  I am awed by his wonderful outlook on life.  I count myself very lucky to call this man a friend. 

Spam for me and Spam for YOU!

Today I am at a loss for words, really, I'm just down right speechless.  I think I'm going through an isolationism phase in my life; it won't last long I'm sure.  Anyhow...I was doing some spring cleaning of my email inbox, and discovered so many great gems in my spam folder that I couldn't keep them for myself, I have to share.

My favorite is the email that claims "no matter WHAT I'm selling they can send visitors to my sight." Is that not just total awesomeness?  I don't even have to do anything!  Just download their software and BAM, increased hits practically instantly.  I think I might try it out.

For all my medical needs, is the email that simply states:

VICODIN####VIAGRA#####PERCOCET!!!

How can I pass that up?  I do often have a craving for some viagra, but worry that my doctor will think I'm a little strange, so I haven't said anything about it.  Maybe I should click on the link...hmmm.  I'll consider it.

Last but not least, the answer to my prayers.  Michael claims that I can "Quit Your Day Job Within 30 Days"

See, I'm already going to be quiting my job in a little OVER 30 days, so if this can speed up the process AND give me a guaranteed income, why not?  

And that my friends is my spam folder.  It's not much, but just KNOWING that I can get rich quick AND have access to all my favorite drugs...well, what's NOT to like?

My life in song, or at least lyrics…I don’t sing. Well, I do, but not when other people are in the car.

Sometimes when I’m stressed and freaked out, it is hard to keep everything in perspective.  I mean, it MUST be a big deal, because it’s my life, and I’m pretty damn awesome AND important.  I’m not sure why the rest of the world doesn’t simply stop when I’m hovering on the verge of a mental breakdown.  But, it doesn’t.

I was feeling that way this morning when I heard Pearl Jam’s Just Breath, a song that always makes me feel like all is right in my world. And so, I will share it with you, because perhaps you need to know that it’s not as scary as it seems.

Yes I understand
That every life must end
As we sit alone
I know someday we must go

Oh I'm a lucky man
To count on both hands
The ones I love
Some folks just have one
Yeah others they got none

Stay with me
Let's just breathe

Practiced on our sins
Never gonna let me win
Under everything
Just another human being

I don't want to hurt
There's so much in this world
to make me believe

Stay with me
All I see

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
'cause I come clean

I wonder everyday
As I look upon your face
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
What if I did and I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
I come clean

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me till I die
Meet you on the other side

Wordless Wednesday-Shameless exploitation of my child due to lack of creativity. How you doin'?

Random Tuesday Thoughts, It's just crap, and I'm sorry, but it's what you get today.

It's Tuesday, so it's supposed to be random thoughts. Our cables been jacked all day, so this is all I have time for right now. Enjoy!

Six Word Saturday

It's Saturday again, which means we made it through yet another week.  Hooray!  I don't know about you, but this week sure seemed to drag on, and the weekend is already flying by.  How does this happen every week? And because it's Saturday, that means it's time for Six Word Saturday, brought to you by Cate at Show My Face. We dedicate each Saturday to describing life (or hell, someone elses) or whatever might be happening at that particular moment.

I am NOT a morning person.

In fact, I pretty much HATE mornings.  I wasn't always this way.  Don't get me wrong, I wasn't an early bird kind of gal, ever. But once I was up and going the mornings were too horrible.  That was before Tysen. Now, he's awake at 6:00am whether he goes to bed at 6:00pm or midnight.  He's amazing like that.  His little internal clock insists that something must be happening at such an ungodly hour and he has to partake.  Now early mornings are a way of life, and I miss rolling around in bed until noon.  Ahhh, the good ol' days.
