MOTHERFUCKER!

We JUST watched weds. episode of Top Chef because our shitty Charter Cable and our Tivo do not get along! Either that or Tivo can't fucking stand Bravo- because we have had the WORST luck getting that goddamn show recorded lately!! UGH! Anyway....If this motherfucker here wins....we are over Top Chef and possibly the entire Bravo programming!!! So you better be careful Top Chef!!!!

Hmmm.... no brush, what else can I use? ah ha! my penis!

Must of been how it happened! So this dude paints pictures with...you guessed it- his DICK. He calls himself...."PRICKcasso" So, you have to wonder... does he put a condom on?? I for sure wouldn't want PAINT getting up into my thingie, and is he using a soft or a HARD brush?? HMMM. What a FREAK! But, I suppose he actually CAN do it from all the paintings you see!

I don't envy them....

All right, so it's NOT the best picture (I had to take it through our living room window in stealth mode, b/c I didn't want anyone SEEING me take a picture!) BUT, you'll get the idea, I think. This is our neighbors, Johnny Norma and Ray's house and they are having a garage sale- this is day two, and I'm sure the final day b/c there's NO WAY they would be doing that shit on sunday! They have been totally swamped both days at 7 fucking AM! Ridiculousness! I couldn't make it over there yesterday b/c I was busy w/ work, but today I am going to go say hey and check out all the FREAKS that are no doubt coming out-we live in Arkansas people...trust!! :) :) :)

Here's what $60 and some change will get you

at Save-A-Lot! Went there on weds. and FINALLY got some food, not a ton, but it will get us by for a bit, and it's WAY better than what we had- which was like, nothing! I hate this store, but I love it at the same time- this stuff would have been $80+ at Wal-Mart- I SWEAR! and that sucks b/c Wal-Mart is supposed to be so cheap! :( And as you can see, we're eating REAL healthy shit, cuz you can afford the good stuff when your loaded like us!! :) :)

Hot

Check

Heaven!!

YUM-EEEEE! PIZZA! and it wasn't frozen!! It has been a really long time- and last night we were both like -Fuck it! write a check! :) We SHOULD (knock on wood) be getting some dinero before this check bounces, but if not- don't care - it was SOOOOO worth it! And hopefully our broke-ness situ WILL be getting better soon- I have been doing LOTS (yay!) of work, so when I get paid for that, it will help tremendously!! :)

ONE MORE THING....

When you call the electric company to get an extension on your due date.....two months in a row- you feel the broke-ness! :( AND the fact that I have actually FOUND OUT that it's even possible....Broke-ass-broke!

Fall is coming! Thank ya Jesus!!

or... the earth's rotation or something like that! So this is the view out our front door of the across the street neighbor's yard- LOOK at those leaves!! YIPPEE! They have a huge oak tree in their front yard so that's why they have lots of leaves and us not so much. So it's started, LEAVES LEAVES LEAVES! Eventually...BARE TREES! AWESOME. I LOVE FALL!! And WE actually have one!! :) :) :)

So, my question to all of you is: "What point is that that you really FEEL the broke-ness?"

To answer Tiffanie's question further:
1. When you are forced to use paper towels instead of toilet paper for an entire weekend ( hoping every time you flush - that it does just that!) until your sister comes over w/ a 24 roll package she bought for you at Walmart.

2.When you're invited to come over for dinner (free food!) but you can't b/c your car will run out of gas and it's only MAYBE 15 miles round-trip.

3.When you haven't mowed your lawn in like THREE weeks (it's still kinda summer here people- stuff's still growing!) b/c you don't have enough gas.

4.When what little gas you did have for the MOWER is now in your CAR b/c you figure you'd rather be able to drive 50 miles if needed than have a well-manicured lawn! (and you had to do this early one Sunday morning so none of the neighbors would see you doing it- totally embarrassing your broke-ass!)

5.When you have to make casseroles almost every night b/c they are cheap and you'll have enough to have it again the next night for dinner- but you can only do this IF you eat the " oh so tasty" Ramen noodles for lunch every day. Ramen get's REAL old REAL fast, let me tell you!

6.When after your allotted TWO cups of coffee in the morning you can only drink ONE diet Sam's Choice for some more caffeine for the REST OF THE DAY....ONE! who drinks ONE diet coke a day?!

7.When the contents of your refrigerator are basically condiments, four SUPER old eggs, some coke, a container of Walmart brand oat meal and a little milk. so you can't eat the oat meal b/c you need to tiny amount of milk for your coffee!

8.When you cut one another's hair- and really, neither one of you are actually GOOD at doing this.

9.When you haven't drank for 6 straight days, and it has NOTHING to do w/ a choice you've made.

10.When your sister gives you a Walmart shopping card for FOOD- you have to split it up b/t FOOD, GAS for your car, and $8.51 boxed WINE!

And finally, you're BROKE ASS BROKE when...

11.You can't go to Taco Bell and buy fucking $0.59 soft tacos for dinner!

Ruling party picks Fukuda to lead Japan

Alrighty then! So this is the first thing that caught my attention when I sat down and turned on my monitor...OMG! WHAT a riot. I almost spewed hot coffee all over my desk I was laughing so hard!! Fukuda!

OMG! Julie's screen saver!

It's the cutest thing. ever. He barks, goes and gets his ball, shakes your hand, plays dead, etc. IT'S SO CUTE! And he looks like Reavy - so even better!!

Oatmeal Cookies!!

We, which usually means me, made oatmeal cookies yesterday afternoon. This time though, we does mean WE b/c JL really did most of it, in fact I barely helped, so JULIE mad some oatmeal cookies yesterday and they are good! :)

YAY for Casey!!

Casey won the "Hot Slut of the Day" award from another blog we both read everyday! We HAVE to get our Celeb scoop!! It's called DListed-it's right down there!

Ta-Dah!!

We finally got around to dealing w/ that mountain of clean clothes! WHEW! Actually, the only reason we did it was that the bug dude is coming on monday...so quick- someone come visit while it's cleaned off - it's not going to last long!! :)

We'll call it Baked Rotini !!

We had this for dinner last night. We had never made it before. It was pretty tasty. I know I say the same shit all the time- but I don't give a crap! :) :)

Let there be light! (and air)

Here's our rearranged bedroom so we can open at least one of the windows. Not to make anyone too terribly jealous or anything, but it's been awesome here for about a week, and we've had windows open either all day long or at least until noon. Our next electric bill is going to be SUPER GREAT!! :) Now we just need to get some better curtains like we have in the LR that hold back heat and cold. For now we have one of those black-out blinds that I butchered to get it to work b/t the blind and the curtains. It really does help though it looks like shit! :)

Tiffanie!!

I didn't see your comment until just now! SORRY! So, we would love for Cj or Casey to win. It would be okay if Brain, Sara, or Dale won too b/c they all seem cool- we just like Cj & Casey the best! However, if HUNG won....we would both be super fucking pissed off and threaten to NOT WATCH next season!! :) We also are watching last week's episode tonight- the tivo fucked up (hate it when that happens!) and we had to re-record it yesterday- so one of these people is already GONE! And hey- did you watch The Next Food Network Star on Food Network?? THAT was really good too. If not, you should give your DVR some lovin' and record it if they replay it (and we all KNOW they will!) :)

Riley loves her Reavy

And, as you can see, Reavy loves his Ri Ri too. This was them last night when Julie and I were watching Snakes on a Plane. We were both kind of surprised that we were liking what we watched. I think we still have about 45 min. left, so we'll finish it tonight after work. I am waiting on some job right now (YAY!) and then I think I'll have some more to do tomorrow (another YAY!). Apparently, the fall is a really busy time for all this mortgage/lender/buying multi-million dollar real estate thing....whatever- as long as I'm getting some jobs...you guessed it....YAY!! :) We're SO FUCKING TIRED OF BEING SO FUCKING POOR!!!! :(

Broccoli Rice Casserole!!

We have not had this in quite a while, and it was so good. One of my favs! I never had it before I met Julie, man was I missing out! :) Casseroles...so yummy, so easy, so I think I want to eat lunch NOW! :)

Funny pet owner stuff!

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
My pets live here. You don't.
If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
That's why they call it "fur"niture.
I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is
short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a "gazillion" dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children!

Yippee!

So today has been totally amazing here! the windows and doors have been open ALL DAY and we HAVE NOT had to turn a single A/C unit on! Awesome! It is FINALLY cooling down, in fact the "feels like" temp is lower than the actual temp! THAT probably hasn't happened since April or something. This morning after breakfast we rearranged our bedroom a little so we could have access to one of the three windows in there. One is totally useless b/c it has a window unit in it, the bed was blocking EASY access to the other two, so we moved the bed and now we can get to one of them no problem. It's kind of nice to get some light in there as well as the air flow :)

Ahh, FALL!

This morning in C-Town, RIGHT now it is..............

Fair

Feels Like:

70°

70°

High: 80° Low: 53°

OMG! LOW 53?! AWESOME! we have all the windows and screen door open at the moment!! YAY! YAY! YAY! I really hate the HOT!

YAY!!!!

Yippee! The Closer is over, Weeds & Top Chef will be soon....so we need some more TV watching!! It's REAL exciting around here folks! :)

gee, thanks a lot RILEY!

Sorry if you're squeamish! BUT, Riley did THIS to me last night! She decided to have a little flip out last night when I was opening our bedroom door for her to go in there- apparently I just wasn't opening the door fast enough- and she tried to start running from a dead stop (on a slippery kitchen floor, mind you) and in the process one, two, oh I don't know- of her CLAWS tore into my big toe! OUCH!

Fuckity Fuck Fuck!!

WORK! Well, I HAD some yesterday, about three hours worth....AWESOME- we SO need the cashola! (remember that whole $6 thing? -it's no joke!) I was going to be SUPER busy today, strapped to my desk all day, taking breaks only to pee....NOPE! The person I do this for can't get any WAV files loaded.....fuck fuck fuck! NO work for me! :( Does anyone have any ideas about a nice, friendly, don't have to worry about your financially-stressed life, CULT out there to join?! UGH!

Roasty Roast!

We had this oh so very yummy roasty last night for our dinner. We SERIOUSLY had planned last week to get some soft tacos from Taco Bell, b/c we found out that they are $.59 on Weds. !! Since a) we had $6 to our name and b) we realized later that yesterday was our anniversary, we opted for something else instead!

FI-NAL-LY!!

Finally! a little glimmer of hope that there WILL be a fall AND winter....after the MOST AWFUL August in the four years we have been here!! UGH! this is TONIGHT! the front and back screen doors are open and the only a/c on is in the bedroom, and the door is closed! YIPPEE!!

he's just the cutest little thing. ever.

why do icemakers NEVER work?

all right! so it's bad enough that in order to have enough ice-we still use ice trays even though we HAVE an ice maker....but WTF?! now, as you can see, our ice maker is more into making "icicles" more than "ice" so GREAT! the thing that's soooooo annoying is that it is a NEW refrigerator!! it was ONE year old in like may or june! UGH!

like they say...the 3rd time's a charm!

Tiffanie! so i made this one real purty as you can see- i squished it into a ball and rolled it out! :) NOW, we'll have to see if it still tastes yummy, b/c there was so much filling the last time that i froze half of it for the next time we made it...hopefully it will work out!

burning barrel

so i decided to burn our barrel-o-leaves/crapola today and i thought i'd share some photos of it all! i don't think anyone here has ever heard of the EPA! every time i do this (and IT"S in a barrel mind you, compared to oh, the ground surrounded by MORE, usually DRY ground!)i feel like the police will be coming to arrest me! :) NOPE!

at least it's CLEAN!!

said it before, but MAN we hate folding laundry!! we rarely have much dirty laundry around, we do it all the time, it just ends up here....a mountain of clean laundry piled high on a bed. my 9 year old niece shannon spent the night w/ us friday , and well....she slept on the futon in the living room! :)

pomegranate!

WHAT a useless piece of fruit! I LOVED these when i was a kid. saw one the other day and got it b/c it sounded good. what a joke. was i a retard as a child? sure, the tiny little bit of fruit surrounding the seed is yummy, but the seed it kind of a big part of it all, and i'm not eating that shit anymore- i'm pretty sure i did as a kid. anyway, they still taste good and all, but way not worth it! the only thing that i could think that it would be possible good for now is to toss them into a martini!!

here you go jenny!

taco salad

there are no measurements- so just put the amounts that work for you
ground beef w/ taco seasoning like you are making tacos
lettuce
grated cheddar cheese
green onions
tomatoes
doritos
FRENCH DRESSING! (weird, but totally yummy combo (we would never eat a salad w/ french dressing just so you know)
put lettuce, onion, grated cheese, tomatoes, and french dressing in a bowl and toss (you can add some doritos here if you want- but they get soft- we added just a little)
put it in the fridge
after your taco meat is done, put it in the fridge as well, once its cooled, add it to your bowl and toss it again
put some doritos in a bowl and put some salad mixture on top
add some picante on top if you want
ENJOY! it's SUPER YUMMY!

a little tug-of-war

last night julie and reavy playing some tug-of-war in the kitchen. he loves that game. :)

TACO SALAD!!!!!!

oh my god! we had taco salad for din din tonight and it was sooo yummy! we have talked about this recipe for YEARS, but finally, tonight, we got around to making it, and MAN it TOTALLY hit the spot! i seriously haven't had this is 12 or 13 years! wow it was GOOD! :)

back of car

with the sticker about the hokey pokey. it just totally cracked us up when we came across it, so we got the sticker for the back of the jeep-now all we need is like an organ donor sticker or something to totally flip the entire town out! we don't want any burning crosses though, so we'd better be careful!! :)

more action Reavinator shots...

we were watching the end of a dog whisperer about a pit bull w/ an obsession for rocks- and it reminded us of reavy w/ his total OCD for that god damn ball of his. but, it makes him sooo happy to have it thrown, and it wears him out- so that's cool!
