Monday Mystery Meat…Solved

Filed under: Befrazzled How-To Guide, signs that I've finally lost my mind — Robin Dec @ 12:01 am

Thanks to my quiz participants. Cheryl wins the prize for getting the closest. I don’t know what she wins (other than my undying amazement…:)   )

This…Calamity1.jpg picture by robindec is the track ball inside my mouse. Somehow, my daughter figured out how to get it out of the mouse and coat it w/ silly putty. In case you are wondering…track balls tend not to glide very smoothly when coated w/ silly putty.

The next stumper…how to get the ever-lovin’ stuff OFF of the mouse? Scraping didn’t work. I was afraid trying goo gone would make it worse. Soooo, I ended up putting the thing in the freezer over night hoping I could chip it off. That worked only mildly well. Finally, my husband just got another ball from another (dead) computer and we were good to go. Any other suggestions for the future, I’d be mighty glad.

Meanwhile…we have banned silly putty from our home. We once had to do that w/ legos. In case you were wondering, legos do not flush down the toilet very well. It’s not pretty.

All righty…I’m running my first ever Befrazzled Quiz. Anyone and everyone, take a guess at what this is.

Anyone? Lurkers take a guess (I’m talking to YOU Mrs. G! :)

 I’ll give you a few hints.

1.) It IS of this world.

2.) Only MY kids could think of a way to make this particular brand of mess.

I’ll post the answer Monday morning.

I Can’t Believe I Made My Kids Eat That: IHOP Edition

Filed under: I can't believe I made my kids eat that — Robin Dec @ 1:27 pm

We had “lunch” at IHOP today with my folks. Here’s what they are serving up for the kiddos in honor of the movie “Horton Hears a Who.”

I think they’re going to have to change the title of the movie to “Horton is a Type-II Diabetic.” Holy Crikey! I’ll take my Healthy Parent of the Year Award anytime now :)

Prom (& Random) Tuesday

Filed under: Random Tuesday — Robin Dec @ 9:13 am

With prom season fast approaching, I figured I ought to get a jump on what to wear. Turns out… 

I should get a dress that’s…
Black - Elegant
QuizGalaxy.com
I am naturally elegant and classy. I should opt for a black dress with some funky accents to show off my good fashion sense and natural beauty.
‘What Prom Dress should you get?’ at QuizGalaxy.com
Hmmm. Interesting, because what I went with was this…

Oh, crikey, I just remembered, it’s not 1988. I HATE when that happens.
Ok, if you’re brave enough to send them to me as .jpegs, I’ll post a gallery. Oh, and are you kidding me, I totally reserve the right to draw cartoons on them I promise not to make fun of you. ;)
P.S. Check out yesterday’s “Faking It” post. I figured a work around for my image loading problem. See my awesome bug drawing. Seriously, it’s worth a look-see!

Faking it ‘Til I Feel It (a/k/a the Black Plague of ‘08)

Ugh. I’m still here. I haven’t forgotten about you bloggy world. That said, some sort of yucky respiratory bug is invading my body.

The good news is, nobody else in my immediate family has caught it. The bad news is, I hope that doesn’t mean next week is going to be their Week o’ Fun!

In the meantime…I’m going to phone it in today and refer you to a blog link that makes me laugh out load everytime I see it. Hope you enjoy.
