Join the Fun

Ok...my Best Bloggin Buddy, Amber,  just brought her awesome SWAP to my attention...I have joined some in the past...and they are a ton of FUN...but I must say...I am the most excited about this one!




We are swapping any pair (or more) of glasses, in addition to our favorite drink recipes. This recipe can be either alcoholic or non alcoholic, the choice is yours (this should go without saying, but if you are swapping an alcoholic recipe, you must be of age to drink, I don't want to see anyone being irresponsible here). I know I am going to end up getting my glasses from www.etsy.com (have you seen how adorable some of them are?!) but feel free to shop around. Also, feel free to get whatever type of glasses you want. You can either send the glasses and the recipe yourself, or if you are ordering glasses have them shipped directly to your partner and send a card with your favorite recipe.

Here is what is going to happen:
Sign up! You have until June 25th to sign up on either of our blogs. When you sign up, just let us know if you plan on swapping and alcoholic recipe or a non-alcoholic recipe (so we can pair you up respectively). You only have to sign up on our of our blogs, but please leave your email if it is not linked up to your blog (and honestly, it is just much easier to link you blog!)

Pair up! On Saturday, June 26th, Amanda and I will go through and create partners based on your drink recipe preference. We will then email you your partner's name and we will expect you to get in contact with your partner.
Find it! Start thinking about the recipe you want to send as well as the glasses. We are going to be extremely generous and you will have until July 23rd to mail off your glasses and recipe. We understand that some people will be having custom glasses made and this might take awhile, which is why we are giving you so much time. Please note, we are expecting each person to spend $20 - $30 on your swap partner. We know this is a lot of money, but think, you will be getting a set of glasses worth the same amount. Another note, we want to emphasize that you should send at least two glasses. Won't it be nice to have a cute set?
Write it! When you get your package, please dedicate a blog post to what you received from your partner!

Link up! On July 30th, we will have a link up for all of the recipes and glasses exchanged!

So start signing up. This is their first swap ever, and we are so excited to have you all participate!



Let me know if you are planning on joining the fun - and make sure to let them know that I sent you!

The Skew - Romance



Today's Episode of "The Skew"'s topic is ROMANCE...

First I just want to sum my relationship up with one word: DYSFUNCTIONAL

Chris & I have a very ODD relationship - but we have fun. Our friends often wonder how we have stayed together for so long because of how we act around each other or the things that we say to one another. Here's an example:

Chris: "Hey Butt-Nugget, how was your day today"
Me: "It was oka..."
Chris: (interupting) "Yep, I dont care"
Me: "You're an ass"
Chris: "Yep - but you love me"
Me: "If love really means HATE then yes"
Chris: "Awwe I hate you too"
Me: *Smile*
Chris: *Smile*
*Smooooch*




There's usually some other type of annoyance going on while we're in each others presence - but this is how our relationship works. I know he is MADLY In love with me and vice versa - as no one else would put up with either of our shit - and we have our moments where we are all lovey dovey and sick & sappy - but 99% of the time we are calling each other names (we keep it PG when Mister Monster is around) but we have fun doing it and I wouldnt have it any other way - it's always been this way with us.

When we started dating 3 years ago - he actually came up to me and started hitting on me - College bar style *Do you have a mirror in your pocket? Because I can see me in your pants* - and I just told him to "Fuck Off". He started laughing and called me a "Bitch" and it just went on from there. Love at first sight you could say - not your average Happily Ever After. I even stood him up THREE times (just to test him) and he still kept asking for a date - so finally I gave into him.

3 years later...we're still together!



So now onto my thoughts on Romance - the little things are what counts the most for me. When he asks me if it's ok if he goes out for a beer and watch the game with his guys. When I come home (like yesterday - Chief your going to be JEALOUS) and my entire kitchen was clean - including dishes, cabinets scrubbed, fridge cleaned out, swept & MOPPED - even all the laundry had been sorted and he was starting the rounds to get it done. When he stops me dead in my tracks and wraps his arms around me - whispers how much he loves me - then yanks on my hair. When I get that random text message that says "Hey beautiful - you have a great day - I miss you and I looooove you".

Romance does not have to be flowers & candy & expensive dinners & jewelry & love poems & sappy hallmark cards - these things are great...one or twice a year - for our anniversary and my birthday - but if you do this crap all year long it takes the "specialness" out of the gesture.

Romance is helping me out when I need it the most, Telling me I'm beautiful even though I cant see it, Hugging me when I'm having a bad day then making me laugh so I can forget what's got me down. Romance is letting me take a looong bubble bath while you help Mister Monster with his homework.

Chris and I are not the picture perfect couple - but we put the "FUN" in dysFUNctional!

Meme Monday: Busted Bia




I can not & will not try to go against Supah Mommy's post today - it was worse than anything I have ever encountered with my car! (You poor blizzard stranded Yeti, you!!)

However I know that I can put the Top 5 times I have been pulled over so here they go: (There's only 3 - I've been a good lil driver.....HA....lack there of is more like it).

1.When I was 16, yep fresh out of driving school, I thought it would be a friggin great idea to drink Strawberry Boone's with my girlfriends and then attempt to drive 8 miles home. I ended up getting pulled over - by my cheerleading coach's HUSBAND! He knew me really well, as I was best friends with his son & daughter. I was mortified, I just knew this was the end of my life as I knew it. But, by the grace of god, He did not give me a ticket or haul me off to jail - he told me this was my 1 and ONLY "Get outta Jail free card" and packed me in his patrol car and drove me home. I never did that again! He scared the shit outta me, making me watch movies on his laptop the entire ride home about drunk drivers and watching their accidents. He let me off with a warning.

2. I got pulled over when I was 17 for driving to close one night. The old man was doing 12 in a friggin 40! I was pissed! I had places to go & people to see and this old man just wasn't moving fast enough for me. (I'm still a very impatient driver) I was getting ready to pass the old dude when I saw flashing Red & Blug lights in my review. "Shit - Damnit - Frikkity Frick" I pulled over and the officer was so kind as to let me know that I was to close to the car in front of me and that was considered tailgating (Thank's Asshole - I'm young, not a re-tard). But I batted my pretty eyes at him and told him that I was sorry and it would never happen again. He let me off with just a warning.

3. When I was 19 - I got pulled over for not having a license plate on the front of my car. In my defense, I didn't know you HAD to have a plate on the front, but I kept it in my trunk just to be on the safe side. So I told the office that I had it. He got it out for me and even screwed it on for me! Just let me off with just a warning.


And to this day - I have not been pulled over since I was 19 - even though I am def guilty of speeding (those little signs don't mean much to me). And when I was pulled over - I simply got warnings. So there is nothing on my record! Clean as a whistle! Innocent as a newborn! Fit as a Fiddle!

So what have you been busted for?? Head on over to Supah Mommy's and link up for this MAD AWESOME Monday Meme! Have a great day ya'll!
