Gone MIA but with Good Reason

Hi guys! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. I did, and that’s the reason for my MIA the past couple days.

The days went by so freakin’ fast I can’t believe it’s already Monday. We (the kids, hubby and I) went to a birthday party which carried well into the night, we went shopping, went to the doctors (kids appointments-saving this for another post)…yada-yada-yada!

Check out Blue Mountain State on Spike TV

Okay, so earlier this week, in a previous post, I stated that I wasn’t to keen on some types of standup comedy but that I did in fact watch them…and occasionally laughed right along with the jokes (here and there).

I’m not saying that BMS is the same, almost-but not. The humor is definitely adult oriented and, shockingly, some of it even rated at PG-13 (or so I was told-?), but okay, so it’s freakin’ hilarious and a must see; even if it’s just once.

The Truth According To ME

All right, all right. I’ve been informed that I need to share a little about myself since I am new to Blogfully. You guys already know the most fabulous Barb… well here I am.

I go by the alias C Rider. Is it my real name? Does it matter? I’ve known Barb for close to 12 years; give or take a couple. So here is a little insight on me, myself and I …. I’m rough-edged, I call people on their B.S., I don’t deal with or put up with any drama of any kind, except what my immediate family brings me. I don’t like idiot drivers (they seem to come out in bad weather), I love to read, I love to write, I love my dogs, I love my friends, and most importantly I LOVE my family and I will defend and protect them to the darkest most brutal extent!

 I have 6 tattoos and 10 piercings. I’m a realist with a pessimistic twist and I have no problem telling anyone no matter who they “think” they are how it is or should be.

I will do my best to give you glorious people my personal, truthful in my eyes opinion on what ever it is that Barb gives me to review for her. I might also throw in an occasional rant here and there cause I’m pretty good at griping about random ignorants I encounter through out my life. What about you guys? What is your story in a nutshell? Do you have any questions for me, the newbie? HAHA that rhymed and I didn’t mean for it to.

Dentyne has New Bottles and I have a few up for Grabs

Honestly; I’m sitting here trying to think of how to start this post, but really- this gum needs no introductory. Dentyne is awesome and has been my favorite since; I can’t even tell you how long.

Dentyne has always worked great for me. It freshens my breath, instantly, and leaves a cool chill behind. But be forewarned, as I have learned- DO NOT DRINK WATER RIGHT AFTER YOU’VE PUT A FRESH PIECE OF GUM IN YOUR MOUTH (especially Arctic Chill)- Holy cow does that hurt!!!

Air Bud: Golden Receiver on DVD 02/02/2010

Now how on earth could you resist this?

EXACTLY!!!

My girls and I got the chance to watch this movie and it was too cute! Patience, my 8 year old, loves dogs and has raved about each and every Air Bud movie that’s surfaced. She adores them and all their “puppy powers” to speak. Read the rest of this entry »

Artie Lange- Jack and Coke DVD Release

WOW- I don’t know what to say. I know that everyone’s different and that everyone is gifted with their own sense of humor, but, WOW!

I’m not here to dissect any part of his show. Overall, I thought it was funny. I do, however, feel obligated to tell you that his humor is not for everyone and definitely not for anyone under the age of 18. His humor can be a little deep and sometimes jaw dropping. If you’re the type of person that gets offended easily, I don’t think this show’s for you either. This is 100% uncensored humor.

Made My first button- Yea Me!

Hey guys! Hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday afternoon. I am currently trying out my new button. I’ve been working, tweeking and playing with paint, word and everything else you could imagine-trying to make my very own button. What do you think? I even have the code for it, which by the way, is not bad considering I’m no wiz at this stuff. Please feel free to grab my botton. If you’d like to add it to your blog- I’d actually be thrilled to hear of anyone wanting to partake in such actions. Read the rest of this entry »

Planet Hulk on DVD 2/2 But I Have a Copy up for Grabs

So I had C. Rider’s kids last night, and…as I sit here this morning, drinking my coffee, they’re happily entertaining themselves with a fun game of BINGO. This is a usual occurrence between C. Rider’s kids and mine. It gives the kids a chance to hang out and play while also giving us parents a night of free play.

As you guys know. I do have a son, but he’s too “old” for cartoons, but Bug isn’t. Bug is C. Rider’s son. He’s a seven year old boy that is very much into all things “boy”. He’s one of those kids that, much like his mother, naturally attract people their way. I think it’s the energy around them…who knows, but bug is a kid you cant help but “hang out” with.

My Flower Bed is NO LITTER BOX

Excuse the short post, BUT…hold me back guys cause I’m fixing to add a few kitty-cat paws to my “good luck” charm- ARGH!!!

I’ve just about had it with these dang neighborhood cats using my flower bed (just inches from my front door) as a litter box. I mean- SERIOUSLY; can they not find someplace else to do their business? I can’t even open my front door anymore without being thrown back by the smell.
