//BLOCKED//

Wow, no post in how many days now? Sheesh.

Bad Crooked Eyebrow.

Well I might as well not fight it any longer. You see I so desperately wanted to jot down my thoughts but they were very negative. The thought of preserving my negativity for all the web to see forever and ever and ever was not appealing so I took a break. A much needed break.

A break that lead into MASSIVE writing blocks.

There was SO much that I could have (should have) written down these past few weeks but it feels like I missed the chance to make note of all my fluttering thoughts. Now each time I try to write a post I find myself staring at the create page for hours(okay days...)

In other words,I have blocked so many
of my feelings and emotions that I am suffering from writers block.
Commonly known as BB.
Blogger's Block

Yeah, I got it bad.

So bad that I need help.
So many others before me have done it...

ask me some questions.
Go ahead.




Don't let friends suffer from BB

I'll ask first!
What's your favorite piece of clothing or accessory that you own?

Tagged (Damn)

Well Christy felt that I was slacking a bit in the blogging department and was so kind as to tag me for the 8 random things meme. Can you feel my excitement Christy? Can you? Oh it's there...

(Nothing but love for Christy)

Here are the rules:

1. Each player starts with eight random fact/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their name.
4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged and to read your blog.

Here are 8 random things about me:

1. My current favorite candle to burn is cranberry & fig from Kohls. Currently on clearance for under 3 bucks, quite the deal. I can't bring myself to pay huge amounts of money for something that I am going to just burn. However, I do love getting "fancy" candles in my favorite scents, but I will not buy them for myself.

2. I can remember many people from elementary school and up, including their voices and mannerisms. Often I wonder how many people can remember me or did I really just fade into the wall like I always felt back then.

3. It took me over 15 minutes to think of #1 in this list. That's sad. I used to be able to ramble off HUGE lists of random stuff about myself, I miss those posts.

4. I am becoming quite the coffee addict. , Strong & Black. No cream. No sugar. Even worse? My coffee pot died this week and is no longer made. There have been searches on ebay for it because it was that good.

5. If I say I'm fine, I'm usually not.

6. I hate the fact that if I don't purposely smile or when I let my face become relaxed, that I look pissy and mean. To me, I think I scare people off alot, but it takes a HUGE amount of effort to remember to smile.

7. For about 2 months I have been considering not blogging anymore. Is it obvious yet? But I can't bring myself to do it.

8. I have a slight addiction to all food things being of a buffalo taste. Buffalo wings, Chicken buffalo sandwich, just give me the sauce to dip all my food in. Possibly rub it all over my body...I keed. Slight addiction I would say huh? There is a requirement though. It has to be the tangy orange kind. Not the spicy ginger, bbq, what the crap is this? kind. I do have limitations so that's good....right?

SO!

I will tag, does anyone want to volunteer?

ok how about.....

Veteran's Day is quickly approaching...

My first.

I posted here today.

In other words, today was my first voting experience. No longer am I a voting virgin.

The entire Crooked household was up before the crack of dawn to line up for this historical election, including JC. Unlike when I was 7 years old, JC knows more about the world that he lives in than I did at his age. For a second grader he is quite aware of the candidates and the pressing issues. Even if his main issue right now is if the national anthem is getting changed(at least he takes interest).

All last night I heard, "Mommy. PLEASE don't vote for Obama, I heard he wants to change the National Anthem!"

So this morning my little man stood right next to me as I casted my vote. However, I did make him turn around so he couldn't read who exactly I was voting for. Finally, after 10+ years I voted and it makes me feel even better that my husband and I had our son there to see just how important voting really is. I'm guessing that if I had known at his age, I wouldn't have stayed a voting virgin for so long.


Happy Election day y'all.
I'm guessing it's gonna be a wild ride!

I know the pumpkin dentist...

I know a pumpkin dentist
in case there are jack o lantern's having any issues.

His name is Mr. Cooper
and just today he decided to do a full extraction
on my pumpkin's grill...

You can see that he is so stricken with guilt
that he is unable to look at mom
as she takes a photo for evidence.

Yup. Guilty. Guilty Cooper.

No bones about it...

I hope everyone has a safe
and
Happy Halloween

Slowing down

There are days when I do not want to go into work because I'm just not in the mood to deal with it all. Even more so as of lately, but I continue, because life as I know it for now says I have to.

Then there are days where I want to park my car and take in all the sights that I am always rushing by. Life moves too fast and I am always trying to remind myself to take it all in while I can, but the demands of life press on.

That is why when I was driving to work and watched this sunrise the other day, (for once) I did not mind walking in late. Work could wait, but this beautiful sight was not going to for long. As I gazed up I felt the need to seize the moment. This precious moment, I believe it was meant for me to see it when I needed it the most.

It looked to me as if all the angels were fingering painting the sky on this morning. All the glorious colors would change with each block I passed and I could not take my eyes off the sky. My head was in the clouds... On this morning, I slowed down.
