Thursday 13 – December Edition

Thirteen Things swirling around in MommaK’s head today…

1. PMS + a few days before Christmas = “Did you see that picture of Santa in the obituary section today?”

2. I have a pretty nice coal collection piled up. I wonder if my threats will come true.

3. Screw New Year’s too. It’s so depressing. You get all dressed up with visions of “the perfect night” in your head. You end up drinking cheap wine, stepped on and sweaty with someone else’s beer and puke on your shoes. The next morning you get to wake up and realize that you’re fat & disorganized and make unreasonable vows to change your ways. A few weeks later you get more fun gifts – total failure and the credit card bill.

4. My mother says she has a surprise for me this Christmas. She knows how I hate waiting and wondering and tend to build things up in my head. I wonder what it could be…maybe a baby brother?

5. My husband gave me a trip this year for Christmas. We leave on the 26th for 5 days in Amsterdam. I would have chosen Hawaii but I’m sure he was only thinking of me. Have you been? What should I see?

6. I wonder if the airport will be crowded on December 26th.

7. I’m making Christmas cookies tomorrow. No sarcasm added.

8. I know I’ve been a comment slacker…but I thought we were friends. I know we used to talk more…but taking me off of your blogroll? Really? Ouch. That hurts my heart a little. All better now.

9. How come a man has no problem calling you into the bathroom to ask you a question right after he turns it into assville? (not my husband – worse – a contractor)

10. We took Lillian to see Santa a few weeks ago. How do you think that went? She Scooby-Dooby-Doo’d it the hell out of there like her ass was on fire.

What was Momma thinking???

11. I need a grande skim eggnog midol latte. That would set me straight.

12. So what did you think of the Survivor finale? I really wanted Ozzy to win but Yule was my second choice. Those girls were a mess with that fire-making-tie-breaker. Just hang it up. But didn’t Sundra look amazing in real clothes and make up? What a beauty.

13. The lovely Lindsay and I are holding the December Perfect Post Awards on Wednesday, January 3rd. Haven’t heard of The Perfect Post Awards? Check it out.

  • dan g it took forever to load your list! it must be the pms.

  • PMS sucks but that list made me laugh. And Amsterdam sounds wonderful even if it isn’t Hawaii. I hope you have a safe trip and alot of fun.


  • i hate new years. it was fun when i was in high school. but it’s been a pretty big let-down since then…


  • Assville! BAAHAHAAA!! I’m rolling about that one, even had to call over the hubs to read it. I feel a “Thirteen things women want to know about men” list coming on!

    Lil, poor gal, she looks posessed.

    Thank you for not chewing off my head and spitting it out. I still love you, even though you’re PMS’d and a total slacker. Have a wonderful trip, really – soak up as much as your eyes and memory will allow!!


  • Yes, it did take a long time but then I’ve had issues with Blogger lately, it hates me. Hope #1 doesn’t get you down.


  • Thanks for the smiles, especially the assville comment and the one about the dog’s ass being on fire! I’m making cookies too and my 13 list is leaving crumbs but not from cookies.

    Ampsterdam! Have a hot damn time!


  • Ha ha! You so funny!


  • LOL…YOu are the best! I read this AFTER I wrote my blog this morning…after reading your 13 You should take a peek…it’ll help. LOL


  • Happy Holidays!
    I’m sorry you have PMS to deal with on top of Christmas chaos. I feel for you! Good luck with the cookies – and OMG, your dog Lillian is adorable! I can only imagine how my two would’ve been with Santa. You’re braver than I!
    So true about New Year’s. Promises, schmromises…

    Enjoy your holidays in Petroville and have an awesome time in Amsterdam!


  • Amsterdam! Awesome! I think that will be a fantastic trip. I’ve never been, but it’s on the list!

    I’m stragely calm right now. Don’t know why, because I have to clean every room in my house, shop, cook, wrap, and bake! But I’m calm.

    Merry Christmas MommaK! I would NEVER take you off my blogroll! My TT is up too.


  • Amsterdam – see it all… Get yourself a pair of wooden shoes, too!
    Have fun!

  • You ever have that smug feeling because you KNOW that someone couldn’t POSSIBLY be referring to you?

    And then later that sick feeling because you realize that it is ENTIRELY possible that someone could have been referring to you?

    I don’t know how I did it, or what the hell happened, since I haven’t cleaned up the blogroll in at least 2 or 3 weeks…but yours and two others were missing that should NOT have been missing.

    My profuse apologies if you were referring to me. I have no idea how it happened. And I hate the thought that, if you WERE referring to me, I caused you any hurt feelings.

    I would never, ever do that on purpose.
    xoxox


  • Sherry

    Great TT and I read yours before my sisters.
    YES, I wanted Ozzie to win too and I also wanted to go to your party…..I was jealous that others went. I even found something to wear.


  • AM

    Lillian is so funny! I can totally imagine her running out of the store. What a scaredy-cat.
    I can’t wait to sit down with you and enjoy a glass of wine and a nice long talk. Miss you!


  • Hey…it’s been awhile. Merry Christmas and stuff!

    I have time to read blogs again because I have a “medical condition”. I may be high on drugs, but I’m back!


  • P.S.
    Forgot to mention that Hubby has been to Amsterdam. I will have to ask him where he recommends. Of course he was 23 and in the Navy….so not sure how much you’d have in common with his suggestions. Unless there’s a naughty side to you we never discovered! LOL.

    Also…blogroll is screwing up. Some of my links are not showing new posts even though there are.


  • merry xmas. i was in Amsterdam and had a great time.We only had a day and a night. I liks the train station,The Van Gogh museum. We only saw the Anne Frank house from a baot in the canal, but I would llike to have taken the tour.At night we went to a lub and saw an improv troupe.And there is a sex musseum and the red light district.Thr hihlight of the trip for me was when we checked into a hostel. The owner told us we could smoke cigarettes inside, but we had to take our pot outside!


  • Ozzy deserved it oh so much more than Yul did in my humble opinion. But hey, he came in second, is loved by many more people now than he ever imagined he ever would be and I hope he gets some sort of deal out of it all. What a hottie is he anyway? And Yes Sundra looked great all done up!!


  • Have fun in Amsterdam! My brother and SIL went there (and Paris) on their honeymoon and loved it.


  • I still love ya! PMS and all! And you were what inspired me to start blogging, so I could NEVER take you off my blogroll
    Enjoy the heck outta Amsterdam, but dont take advantage of their legal marijuana LOL Although, it might do wonders for the PMS? LOL :zombie:


  • Your special ’surprise’ present is all wrapped up and waiting for you!


  • Do not interrogate your sisters! :raspberry:


  • What is it with this Xmas? No one seems to be up to Xmas par this year.

    Going to Amsterdam will be so fun. That is an AWESOME Xmas present.
    Have fun and put that Nikon to some good use for us!!!


  • Hope your Christmas was fantastic.

    I don’t blame Lillian. I am having a few issues with Santa these days, too. Mainly that Rachel is scared of him. In fact, I think she really dislikes the guy.



  • Talk to me, Goose.
