Rant and Rave Wednesday

Rant and Rave Wednesday Courtesy of Little Ms Blogger. You should check out her blog and follow her if you're not already.
(I'm sorry for posting it on a Tuesday night, Little Ms Blogger. I'm going to see about a job tomorrow morning.) I hope you're feeling better.


Rant: I was washing my hands in a public restroom and I could see a woman behind me in the mirror and she was checking out my butt. I thought to myself "I must be looking good today if a woman is checking out my ass." It wasn't until much later that night when I was getting ready for bed that I noticed a rip in the back of my pants. Now I know what she was looking at.....my Halloween underwear. Spooky!

Rave: Monkey Man gave me an award. Modern Mom already gave it to me in August and I added my name to the list and I followed all the rules back then. You can see that post here. I don't think all of the people I awarded it to accepted it so I'm not passing it out again this time. Thank you, Monkey Man. I appreciate you and your blog. You've been very nice to me and I really appreciate your support.


This time, I'm going to give this award:

Miss Yvonne gave it to me and I never passed it out until now. You Are Wonderful goes to:

You guys have been so supportive over the last few months. Thank you, thank you. I appreciate each and every one of you. Sorry I didn't link to you. You all know who you are! There aren't any rules. Just keep being wonderful!

Rave: #1 Son won 1st place in the Regionals two day tournament. You're probably sick of hearing about it but I could never get sick of him being a WINNER!!

Rave: Craigslist, new opportunities, beating depression one day at a time.

Rave: I think this is pretty good news and not at all surprising:



You Sometimes Hold a Grudge



You aren't exactly vengeful, but you're not going to forget when someone wrongs you.

And while you'll forgive the small things, you don't hand out too many second chances to people who really screw up.



I think that this is especially good news for the people who've screwed me over and over again. Don't you? (Another reason I blog is so that I'll have an airtight alibi if something bad ever happens to those assholes.)

I'm not sure it's entirely accurate ;) It told me,
//////////
You Don't Hold a Grudge
You're willing to give almost anyone a second chance, even if they've really wronged you.
Incredibly forgiving and compassionate, you understand that people sometimes change for the better.
//////////
even through I'm sure I could hold one for a while if I really wanted to.

Sassy Pants Freckle Face said...

Halloween undies, LOVE IT!!

Monkey Man said...

Congrats to #1 Son for being #1 and thanks the Wonderful award. You reached out to help me, so how could I help but show my appreciation with a bit of support.

Pearl said...

Oh, sure! She could check out your Halloween grunders but could she have mentioned that you have a rip in your pants?!

Yay! Possible job, this is exciting. Fingers crossed for you all day tomorrow.

much love

Green-Eyed Momster said...

Peeking Rabbit, You are too kind. I think you could hold a grudge if you wanted to! Sorry I haven't been around to chat lately. Please don't hold a grudge! ;)

Sassy, Yes, they're cool and I wear them around Halloween only. Thanks and hugs!!

Monkey Man, Thank you very much! You've been through so much and I don't know if I gave you any good advice but I really want you to be healthy and live your best life.

Pearl, When I saw the rip in my pants and it was by the left back pocket, I was thinking "Why the hell didn't anyone tell me that my pants were ripped?" I would tell someone (or take a picture) I sure as hell hope no one got a picture. Let me know if you see any, okay? Thanks and hugs!!

Green-Eyed Momster said...

Thank you Stacey! Hugs!!

Brian Miller said...

congrats to your son! keep raving, i am sure he loves it!

nice about the job tomorrow. good luck!

rachel... said...

Glad to see you blogging! So funny about the pants! And I don't see anything wrong with a little grudge-holding. Good luck with the new opportunities! :D

Wendy Hawksley said...

Why don't people share when they see something like that? I'm always the first to pull someone aside discreetly and whisper, "You have a ___________ in/on your ____________."

I do it because I hope people will do it for me too.

Hooray for your lovely awards.

DOUBLE HOORAY and congratulations to Son #1!!!! I never get sick of hearing wonderful things about people's accomplishments!

LOL - grudges aren't necessarily bad. Sometimes they keep us from associating with people who we should really avoid anyhow.

Believe me. I'm holding one right now. And it will keep me from talking to a person I have to PRETEND to be nice to. Better to have that grudge and be honest if she dares to speak to me, than pretend, dontcha think?

Miss Yvonne said...

I can't believe that lady didn't tell you that you had a rip in your jeans! At least you had cute underwear on.

Joanna Jenkins said...

I am cheering you on for the interview Wednesday!

Congrats to #1 Son. It's great that you're his biggest cheerleader.

And the Halloween undies is a hoot :-)

Love ya!
xo

Unknown Mami said...

I love that you are so confident about your ass that you would just assume someone was checking it out.

I'm sure she thought it looked good in the Halloween undies.

Stinkypaw said...

Congrats to son #1! You should be proud so never appologize for that, please!

Congrats to you for your numerous awards - well done!

Good luck on Graiglist & for new opportunities - gooes things are on their way - trust in that! *Hugs*

Snooty Primadona said...

I don't get why people would stare like that and not say something. I can spell asshole. Gah!

I took the test and here's what it said: You're willing to give almost anyone a second chance, even if they've really wronged you.
Incredibly forgiving and compassionate, you understand that people sometimes change for the better.

That is me sometimes and sometimes not.

Congratulations to your son for his accomplishment!

Gillian said...

I want to see your Halloween Undies too.

Holmes Family said...

Well she got a very festive view. And she must have enjoyed it if she didn't say anything about it. :)

The Peach Tart said...

Congrats on your awards and thanks for passing that cool one along to me. I'll be posting it this weekend.

Hey girl keep looking on Craigslist and read my post today about it.

McGillicutty said...

OK I am on a time crunch and will have to come back and take this all in later... you're pretty awesome is all I know!!!!

Poodles said...

Good luck on the job!

plo said...

Good luck on the job hunt today! I'm rooting for ya! xo

Stephanie said...

She could have TOLD you your Halloween was showing. Sheesh.

Thanks for the award; I really really like you too!

otin said...

I wish that I could get you to stop with all the depression talk!

We never get tired about hearing of your son's accomplishments!

Thank you and congrats on your new awards!

diane said...

I'm with Miss Yvonne, I can't believe that lady didn't tell you about the rip.
I love that Stevie Wonder award! It really is a "feel good" award, isn't it? Thank you so much for including me, I'm pretty sure you know how much I like you too. We should, like, totally do a Tracey & Diane version of the Patty Duke Show intro. I don't know what made me think of that, but we're pretty hilarious, so I'm sure we could pull it off.

CRY said...

SO YOU ARE NOT A PUT AWAY THE HALOWEEN UNDIES TILL NEXT YEAR IM GUESSING?
HEE HEE
MAYBE SHE WAS LOOKING AT BOTH
THAT IS A FUNNY STORY
COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE LIKE HAVING TOILET PAPER HANGING OUT OF YOUR PANTS
AS FOR GRUDGES YA I DO (HUMAN NATURE) BUT I TRY TO LET IT GO ASAP
GRUDGES MAKE THE HEART DEPRESSED AND ITS SO NOT GOOD FOR USCHECK YOUR PANTS BEFORE YOU GO OUT!
HAVE A GREAT DAY

Little Ms Blogger said...

Thank you for the lovely award - very excited!

I laughed at the shrink comment and thought that same thing recently.

I also can't believe the woman didn't tell you had a rip in your pants. I would have. I think you might have wanted to know.

SabrinaT said...

Congratulations to your son!!!

OK, Halloween undies.. ha ha

I try not to hold a grudge. Sometimes its hard not to! You know when I am RIGHT and they are wrong. It just happens that I am mostly always right.

Green-Eyed Momster said...

Brian, Thank you very much!

Rachel, Yes, the tear in the pants was hysterical considering I ran around almost all day like that. At least I know what she was looking at now. Thanks and hugs!!

Wendy, I would have told someone after I took a picture! I feel that grudges have kept me from getting screwed more than 10 times with certain people. Thanks and hugs!!

Miss Yvonne, I'm on a mission to find someone else with a rip or tear in their pants and take a picture of it and blog about it! HA!! JUGS@@

Joanna, The guy didn't call me this morning and I'm kind of pissed off about it. Oh well. I'm blogging I have an airtight alibi! Thanks and hugs!!

Unknown Mami, I thought that maybe she was into chicks and I was honored. Not so much anymore. Thanks and hugs!!

Green-Eyed Momster said...

Stinkypaw, Thank you, you are so sweet! Hugs!!

Snooty, Thanks and hugs!!

Gillian, They weren't anything special. Just black with white ghosts and the word Boo! on them. She could have told me they were showing! Sheesh! Thanks and hugs!!

Holmes Family, She probably blogged about the sighting of ghosts in the Del Taco bathroom!! LOL!!
Thanks and hugs!!

The Peach Tart, I'm shocked at all the misspellings in the ads on Craigslist. Those people make me look like a genius. I feel like the smartest guy in the world in the movie Idiocracy. Thanks and hugs!!

Green-Eyed Momster said...

McGillicutty, You are awesome too! Thanks and hugs!!

Poodles, Thanks and hugs!!

Plo, Thanks and hugs!!

Stephanie, Maybe she thought I was showing off my Boo! panties!! LOL!! Thanks and hugs!!

Otin, I'm feeling better. Thank you!!

Diane, Thanks and hugs!!

CRY, Welcome and thank you!!

Little Ms Blogger, Thanks and hugs!!

Sabrina T, Thanks and hugs!!

Matty said...

Thanks Momster. As a proud mom, you can never brag enough about a child's accomplishments.

Secretia said...

Thanks very much. It feels good to know you love it!
