Obsessed Over Cars

Today I ventured out with the masses again. We are having nice weather here and I was on a mission. One that I do not think I will complete.

I get myself all worked up. Once my kids get into something I become obsessed with it. Right now with Emma is it Littlest Pet Shops. Or Hello Kitty. Nothing too hard to find and this year I did a good job finding a bunch of it. Even the Target only tin with all the different pets, including the beloved ferret that she has been asking for for two years.

Davis is very into Cars right now. And seeing as to how I am super obsessed with these things and totally give into the marketing, I have been searching and finding various Cars related things for him for Christmas. The cool thing is he is getting a fleece blanket and a little suitcase both of which he can actually use.

My issue has been finding Cars wrapping paper. I think I will not find it. Which is okay. I have plain red paper and I got some stickers. So I can make my own paper. Yes, me kids get their Christmas gifts wrapped in their own paper which usually is a character that they are really into at the time. Emma picked Hello Kitty. Davis does not really care. It is his mom that is obsessed.

At least this year his birthday party theme will be easy. I have already found that they do indeed have a Cars cake pan and the food coloring set I will need to ice the cake too. And since his birthday comes up so quickly, (January 27...he will be THREE) I have to be on the ball.

Going out on the next to the last Saturday before Christmas looking for wrapping paper that is beyond impossible to find it just, well, overly obsessive. I need help.

Yea....thanks. Call me a Scrooge but I hate to spend that much for wrapping paper. Terrible, I know. But Davis is only almost three and he will not care that mcuh really.

Now, for his birthday though.....I will buy it for his birthday.

I have not tried Toys 'R Us yet nor the Party America store we have here. After that, I am going with red paper and stickers.

Oh, but for Davis's birthday??? Oh no. I will got ALL out for that. LOL. I am scaring myself....

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
