Silly Saturday: The Hide and Seek Cat

I forget where I saw this, but it's awesome! That cat is so silly, and so cute!

Feel Good Friday: "Forever" - Chris Brown Wedding Entrance

Sue posted this link on her FB (when she had an active FB account), and watching this made me smile.  I showed it to my hubby, who was also watching it with a smile.  So pretty much anything that makes you smile, also makes you feel good.  Therefore, this qualifies as a post for my Feel Good Friday Blog.  Expect more :)



Did you smile? :)

My guests would have killed us if we gave them an entrance like that!  Our wedding was in a stone church building with no air conditioning at the end of June.  It was really hot and humid.  Not only would our guests have killed us, but I think everyone in our wedding party would have killed us, too, b/c they would be sweating like crazy!  And who wants to get married smelling body odor the entire service? :)

Being a woman seriously sux

*Warning: This is a seriously detailed blog, which may be too detailed for men (read as: you've been warned, so stop now), but women will understand.  And if you're a woman who is embarrassed, disgusted, etc. about discussing the biology of periods, you'll want to stop too....* Scroll down to read more if you dare.










Men really don't understand what women go thru when it's that time of the month.  Seriously.  I am feeling sick right now.  I have my period.  Which means that I have clots that drop pretty much every time I go from a sitting to standing position.  So everytime I have to get up to do something, I have to waddle to the bathroom, or have to change clothes.  It seriously sux.  And on top of that issue, my intestines go on strike as well at this time of the month.  So I have to run for the bathroom for clots, and major diarheal (word/spelling?) type problems.

So of course I get my period and all of the problems that go with it at the beginning of a snow storm.  Fine.  Whatever.  But then I'm supposed to have my washer/dryer delivered/installed tomorrow.  Which means that I have to shovel out the back yard and driveway so they can get through it (b/c that's what the instructions say needs to be done).  Not to mention, I will have to constantly check on Galina while running to the bathroom.  I ask the hubby to take off work tomorrow so he can help me out with this, and he refuses!  He says he'll get up half an hour earlier to shovel a path.  He doesn't understand why I need for him to take off. 

First off, a path isn't what needs to be done.  The whole yard will need to be done.  Can you imagine trying to carry a washer and dryer down a small path?  Plus, I don't know how they plan to do it...will they park in our yard and take it out that way so it's less of a distance they have to carry them?  And the driveway leading from our house to the street (b/c that's what the instructions say: "a clear path from the street to the entrance to your house") needs to be done.  It will probably still be accumultaing snow after he leaves and I'll still have to shovel that crap, even if he does shovel before he leaves.  And who the hell wants to shovel snow when they have their period.  Oh yeah, did I mention that I get anemic when I have my period.  So yeah, I have to fight the shakes as well.

And I really don't want to be alone in the house by myself and a child.  Being on the cautious and dramatic side, who knows what kind of person I'll be letting into my house.  I don't know who's coming.  A rapist could be coming for all I know.  Yes, I know, the odds of that happening are slim to none, but it's not impossible. 

It would just be nice if my husband could understand what it's like to be feeling like this when having to deal with the weather and the Sears people.

Thank you for letting me rant.              

TV Thursday - The Galina Edition

Again, all of my fave tv shows are re-runs this week, so I don't really have anything to comment about.  Therefore, I've decided that if there's nothing that inspires me to write, then I will post "Galina's Edition of TV Thursdays".

Note: These will not necessarily be in chronological order.  Deal with it :)

Episode 1: Dancing with Daddy

What If Wednesday

What if you were selected to be in the Olympics - in which event would you compete?

I would probably compete in the Curling event.  It reminds me of playing shuffleboard, which is really fun.  Also, I don't think that I really need to be in that good of shape to partake in that event.  If I were on the Curling team, I would probably be one of the sweepers.  I'm not very good with aiming things down a lane (just look at my bowling aim - I used to call myself Gutterball Beben), but I can sweep pretty well :)    

What if you were on the game show, Deal or no Deal - what would your strategy be?
 
I would start by picking whichever case I wanted, and then open up the cases in numerical order - starting from 1.  There would be no jumping around for me, which is what almost all of the other contestants do.  Also, whether or not I take a deal depends on what the board is like, and how much money it is.  More than likely, if I was made an offer of 6 figures, I would probably take it, no matter what my board looked like.  I'm not greedy - I need just enough to clear my school loan, and maybe my car loan as well.
 
 
Next week's What Ifs...

• What if you found $20 lying on the ground - what would you do with it?
• What if you could choose your relatives - would you keep the ones you have?
