Minty Fresh

For the last few days I’ve been stuck at home bedridden. It’s been horrible to say the least. I’ve only had two visitors -Aunt Flo and Cousin Migraine. Do you think they bothered to bring a decent gift? If vomiting, lose of vision, possible blood transfusion, and MICHEAL I CAN SEE THE LIGHT SHOULD I GO TOWARDS IT episodes are the best gifts money can buy, I think they should BURN their money and start over.

Needless to say, It ain’t been pretty over here my friends. It’s been ugly. The exact OPPOSITE of pretty.

I shouldn’t complain. It hasn’t all been bad. I’ve brushed my teeth more times this week, than I have in the last 12 years. Coincidentally, my eldest is 12. The clues are all there. Don’t be lazy just piece them together.

Anyway. It’s time to brush my teeth again. I’M SO FULL OF JOY.

So. I was browsing around on Perez Hilton – (It was for research *cough*) – when I saw the latest Old Spice commercial. I really think the Old Spice marketing team deserves an award.

Are The Rumors True…

Who’s next in line to sell the coveted iPhone? Bloomberg is reporting that Verizon Wireless will now get a piece of the Apple beginning January 2011. Rumors. Rumors. Rumors. We’ve heard them time and time again. Will this Apple finally fall from the tree?

Some True Some False

Everyone on the Internet is not your friend.

Sometimes Internet friends make the best friends.

Light bulbs can be a pain in the ass to screw in.

Light bulbs can be a bigger pain in the ass when they blow out.

Facebook  is the devil.

The people who post ignorant comments on Facebook are the devil.

This post has no substance.

Substance is in the eyes of the beholder. The real question – why are you still here?

The Post Where I Finally Tell You The Truth

The novelty has worn off. I really hate blogging….”mommy blogging.” I’m going to retire soon. Hold a press conference and all. Stay tuned.

So You’re One Of Those Parents

Michael and I, each have different views, when it comes to the safety of certain products and foods that we bring into our home.

While I’m Mrs. Label Reader, Organic Wannabe, Non-Toxic Chemical Guru, OMGosh….DID YOU REALLY JUST FEED THEM FOOD….FROM A CAN – SAINT.

Micheal’s motto is if I ate it, drank it, or touched it, when I was little – and survived….they will too.

And then we have the same conversation…over and over.

Sure you survived, but think of how much longer you would have survived if you hadn’t come into contact with those foods and chemicals.

What?

I mean if your parents would have just taken a few extra minutes out of their day, to read the labels and stuff, your life span would have been longer.

I’M NOT DEAD!

All I’m saying is that they deprived you of life.

Still alive.

And it’s really such a shame AND a bit selfish on their part.

Are you serious…nevermind.

If I Only Had 10 Minutes…What Would I Do

Posted on June 9th, 2010 in daily mocha
  1. Update my Facebook status: Stesha Sims has 1o minutes of free time.
  2. “Like” and comment on my own Facebook status.
  3. Tweet the following message: I only have 10 minutes to tweet.
  4. Check my @ replies to see if someone has responded to my tweet. If no one has responded. Send another tweet: I only have 5 minutes left if anyone wants to tweet with me. Anyone?
  5. Go back to Facebook and update with a new status: Stesha Sims has wasted her 1o minutes of free time.

Sprint has just launched Gaming on the Now Network™, bringing you the first wireless 4G network from a national carrier.  Sprint and JuiceBoxJungle have sponsored me to write about what “ten minutes” a day means to me.

Live Entertainment Only

Posted on June 7th, 2010 in daily mocha

Hello, Dear Readers. What are you and your family doing this summer? Big vacation plans? Mini vacation plans? Lazy days lounging by the pool? Library visits for some awesome readings? Planting a garden, maybe? Or maybe you have no plans. You’re just going to “wing it” as they say. WELL. My summer plans are to entertain you. Yes. They. Are. Do you see how giving I am? I mean I’m going to spend my entire summer making sure that my READERS are entertained. I think you’re special. And special people deserve special things. Also – I really need to complete some things on my Bite List. It’s a win win situation for all.

Hip Hip Hooray!

Anyway. Since the first month of the summer has already kicked off. I think I’ll start entertaining you the second month. Right after the 4th of July…because that’s my wedding anniversary and I have to *entertain* my husband.  I’m free after that. Wait. My eldest son turns 13 on the 19th of July so I have to plan something major for him. I’m going to have a teenager in the house, y’all! But I’m definitely free after that. Oh. Wow. I’ll be in New York the first weekend in August for a conference…I’m beginning to think that we need to rethink this entire entertainment thingy. It’s just not working for me.

Rain check, maybe?

Random Mocha: Shut up and serve me tea instead of coffee! I’m in love. Have y’all seen this?

Predictable

Michael: The gravy is on the stove cooking – and the bread is in the oven. In 5 minutes turn them both off. I have to go down to the store.

Me: Okay.

Michael: Okay?

Me: I. Will. Do. It.

Michael: Don’t let the food burn.

Me: Why do you doubt me so?

Michael: Okay. I’m going to trust you with this.

20 plus minutes later I receive a text

Michael: Did you burn the bread?

Me: Yes.

Michael: And the gravy….

Me: Yes.

Michael: Do you want pizza?

Me: Yes. Do you want me to order it?

Michael: Nah. I ordered it on the way out.
