I was checking out my RSS feeds in my Google Feed Reader and guess what little treasure I found?

SmashingMagazine.com has some super cool desktop wallpapers you can download for free that have calendars on them! I’ve been thinking about making my own calendar to put on my desktop but these ones are just way cooler. I mean, my image editing skills are pretty mad, but not as good as these.

I chose the one titled “How do you like my new hat?” but I like to choose new desktop wallpapers every few days so I’ll probably go through most of them before the end of the month.

These calendar desktop wallpapers are good for people like me who have no clue what day of the week it is on any given day.

Soup, Soup, the Magical Soup
The more you eat, the more you poop

Yes, I just came up with that all by myself. Thank you, thank you!

*takes a bow and picks up flowers thrown on stage*

Update: I just showed this to my brother and he didn’t think it was funny at all.

I call them inhabitants because it always seems to be the same person in every public washroom I use.

I try to avoid using public washrooms at all costs, but sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go. After eating a super soft taco from Taco Time in the mall’s food court, there ain’t nothing gonna hold that in after an hour or two.

So anyway, off to the washroom I go. Sometimes at a very fast pace.

It never fails that there’s always someone already doing their number when you first get in there. I always find it fascinating that most women’s washrooms have the appearance that they’re feminine and clean, but that godawful smell that hits you when you walk in brings you back to reality and turns it into nothing but a dumping ground. Hehe, I enjoy my clever puns. Don’t you?

So I pick a stall. I try to pick one that doesn’t look too disgusting, and is also a safe distance from any other occupants. Sometimes this involves bending over a little bit to see if I can see any feet under the stall door. I hope I’m not that only one that does this…

So I’ve picked my stall. I’m going about my business as stealthily as possible when Public Washroom Inhabitant (PWI) comes in and chooses the stall next to me. She then proceeds to go about her business in the loudest way possible. She grunts and groans and makes satisfactory noises when she’s done. Lady, is this really necessary!? Really?

It’s especially horrible when I have my kid with me and she asks me what those funny noises are coming from the next stall. Never have I been so thankful that there are steel walls separating each toilet. I always worry however that they’ll recognize my shoes after I come out to wash my hands. In those cases, I book it as fast as I can. Yes, I know I’m strange.

What really gets me is when PWI comes out after her shit storm and proceeds to make small talk with me while I’m washing my hands. Dude, don’t talk to me after you just did what you did. Leave me alone since I’m trying to escape in horror as fast as possible.

Also, PWI, next time maybe consider bringing in a newspaper with you and rustling through the pages to at least attempt to cover up your disgusting noises. There’s nothing worse than hearing someone else’s turds plopping in the toilet.

Now I’ve ruined my appetite. I’m sorry if I ruined yours too. I should have warned you.

I’ve been playing this stupid flash tower defense game for days now and it’s driving me apeshit.

I found Desktop Tower Defense a few weeks ago in my quest for some kickass TD games like Bloons Tower Defense 2. I beat Bloons at easy and medium, but not hard. It pissed me off so I decided to give it a break and try a different one.

I found a few good ones, like Ant Buster, but that one gets really slow after awhile. You have to wait a long time to build up money to upgrade or buy new cannons. So I finally found Desktop Tower Defense.

It’s so simple and the graphics are “meh” but I can’t seem to stop playing it! I’m even dreaming about it. That’s how lame I am.

Beating it on easy is just stupid. No challenge whatsoever. If you can’t beat it, you shouldn’t be allowed to play any type of video game EVER. Medium took me a few tries to figure out a good strategy, but Hard is INSANE!

I won’t tell you how many times I’ve tried because that would be embarrassing (as if this whole post isn’t embarrassing enough), but I won’t be able to sleep soundly ever again until I at least beat it on Hard. There are two more levels after that, Challenge and Fun, but I won’t allow myself to try them until I beat Hard.

If you’ve beaten it on Hard, let me know! Until then, I think I have the right strategy, I’m just upgrading my little dudes at the wrong time. Also, if you want to kill a few hours (or days), go play it. It’s great for getting you all worked up and in a bad mood when you can’t beat it.

Holy shit. John Reese just (twitted/tweeted/twittered/tweeped?) about this video.

He said HAHAHAHA. I figured four “ha’s” means it must be pretty funny so I checked it out. I’m glad I did. It’s ridiculous which makes it awesome. Go watch. Right now. Don’t be eating cereal while you watch though, like I was. Mistake.

Normally, a post like this would be a “Things I Love” post, but I’m going to be a bit different this time and call it a “Things I’m Grateful For” post.

The past few months have been different to say the least.

I’ve been happy, I’ve been sad, I’ve been devastated, I’ve been excited, I’ve been depressed, and I’ve been appreciative - just to name a few things. The roller coaster of emotions I’ve experienced lately has led me to this post. I don’t care if anyone ever reads it, but I want to express it so here it goes.

I’m thankful for my friends. They’ve helped me through some really rough times and it’s a great feeling knowing that they’ll be there for me when I need them, just as I’ll be there for them when they need me.

I’m thankful for my children. They can drive me to tears but I could never have survived the past year without them. Aside from the rest of my family, they’re the only ones who will love me unconditionally for the rest of our lives. They’re the most precious little creations God could have ever made and my only regret is that I haven’t savoured every second I’ve had with them.

I’m thankful for my family. My mom is my best friend and if I ever lost her, I think I’d die. I can’t imagine living without her. My grandma is my savior and I love her to pieces. I wish everyone had a grandma like her. My dad, my stepdad, my grandparents, my brothers, aunts, cousins, and uncle are all so important to me and I wish I had the guts to show them that all the time.

I’m thankful for my health. There’s definitely something screwy going on inside my body right now, but I keep thinking that it could be a lot worse. I can still hear and see. I can still speak. I can still walk and breathe. I can still remember, and I can still think clearly. (Well, most of the time anyway.)

I’m thankful for this guy I know. He makes me happy and he makes me laugh and he makes me want to be a better person. He also makes me cry when I think that the time I have left with him is quickly slipping away - but I’m also thankful for the fact that he’s not going away permanently.

I’m thankful for Tylenol #3’s and Gravol. It’s nowhere near as great as morphine, but it takes the pain away enough that I can think about the things I’m thankful for.

I’m thankful for my readers. It makes me feel pretty damn good when I get emails like the one I got this morning from a pleased reader. If I can make the tiniest difference in someone’s life, then it was all worth it.

I’m thankful for Final Fantasy. That game is friggin’ awesome!

I’m thankful for gel pens. Sooo much better than regular ink.

I’m thankful for the country I live in. It certainly isn’t perfect, but I sure enjoy having freedom and a sense of security.

I’m thankful for Tylenol #3’s and Gravol. Oh wait, I already said that.

I’m thankful for the roof over my head. It may not be the prettiest roof on the block, and it might not be my roof for much longer, but I’m still pretty glad it’s there. It keeps the bugs out!

I’m thankful for a lot more than just those things, but this is getting really long. I’m thankful for the ability to write whatever the hell I want, and the ability to not publish this because I’ll probably regret it later when I go back and read it after the pain meds wear off.

My grandma is having a spare washer and dryer that she has delivered to me tomorrow morning.

I’ve never been so excited to do laundry in my entire life!

If you have a bunch of dirty laundry, bring it on over. I draw the line, however, at poo stained undies. You can wash those yourself.

My mom took this picture of me with my daughter Morgan yesterday. I just love it and had to share.

See that little orange/red/yellow marble looking thingy beside each blog post title?

I made that in Fireworks! All by my lonesome!! I’m proud of myself cause I can barely turn the TV on most days.

UPDATE: You know what I just noticed? That little orange/red/yellow marble looking thingy doesn’t show up in individual post pages. It only shows up at the main blog page. Bummer.

Last night I was in so much pain that I probably should have gone to the emergency room. I took two Tylenol #2’s but they didn’t work at all. After a few hours it was tolerable enough that I could sorta go to sleep, but I’m still feeling it pretty bad today.

Anyway, the whole point of this - It was so bad that my boyfriend asked if I should go to the hospital. I was thinking yes, but I said no because we were watching a movie and I really wanted to see the end of it. How lame is that?

There were a few points where I got so dizzy from the pain that I almost passed out, but I didn’t say anything cause I really wanted to see that stupid show. I think there’s something wrong with me. Psychologically I mean.

The physically wrong with me part is still a mystery (my doc things it might be endometriosis), but I’m seeing a specialist in July so hopefully I won’t be annoying people with my whining for too much longer. The good side of all of this is I’m nauseous all the time and I can’t eat as much so I’ve lost a few pounds

I discovered this site (http://www.toptut.com/) yesterday when I was searching for a new Wordpress theme for this blog.

I love her style of writing and I LOVE her designs. They’re beautiful and quirky and really unique (kinda like how I wish I was) so if you’re looking for a theme for your wordpress blog, definitely check it out!

My grandma is giving me a spare washer and dryer set that she just happens to have laying around.

My washing machine has been out of commission for quite awhile now and my dryer is a piece of shit that chooses to only work when it feels like it. I’ve been driving my dirty laundry over to my mom’s house but that’s a pain in the ass because her house is not ideal for my chaotic son to run around in, and I just play games the entire time while I’m there instead of working.

So if I can have a working washer and dryer in my own house again, it only stands to reason that I’ll get more work done right? I’ll save gas too so I’m doing the environment a favour cause I’m so nice.

Well I went and changed my Wordpress theme again.

I liked the previous one but it wasn’t widget-ready and when I made it widget-ready it looked pretty dumb. In the meantime, I’ve chosen this one because I think it’s pretty, but I’ve got plans to rip apart a cool theme I found and create a totally unique one.

That will take me a few days I’m sure, but hopefully I’ll have it up and running before the end of the week. Until then, we’re stuck with this one.
