Keeping with my daily blogging, I give you Friday Five (among other things 
)! I have to admit though that I’m a bit bummed I missed last week’s because I think it had more interesting questions, but I suppose this will have to do. I apologize if my answers aren’t very intriguing. The questions to me were kind of blah. 
- What is your favorite red food?
- When were you last caught red-handed?
- What’s your nicest red article of clothing?
- Who’s got the loveliest red hair?
- What are your thoughts on the 2002 Baz Luhrmann film Moulin Rouge!?
1. My favorite red food– that’s a bit difficult, assuming it actually has to be red, red and not red, like in red meat. I’m not a huge fan of apples and therefore, I can’t say that and I really can’t think of anything else other than red meat that would effectively access this question.
2. Oh wow, that’s an interesting question. I’m not sure! I haven’t lived at home for so long that being caught red handed isn’t something that I’ve had to worry about.
3. My nicest red article of clothing is probably my tube top shirt. I love it a lot because it’s quite classy and very comfortable as well.
4. I’d have to say that I think Addison from Private Practice has really nice red hair. It’s so vibrant and red. I love it.
5. Moulin Rouge was okay for me. I didn’t think it was OMG amazing, but it did have it’s moments.
Giveaway
As many of you know, I have been trying to figure out what exactly it is I’d like to give away from TQB’s first giveaway. After a lot of thought and suggestions from those around me, I’ve finally come to a decision. A large part of my decision is my realization as to how little this particular activity occurs in this day and age, unless forced by the educational body, I thought it only fitting to promote what I feel deserves a little more time from all of us, particularly the younger generation. In any event, I do hope that you all enjoy this giveaway and should you have any suggestions (within reason- $10-$20) as to what you’d like to be seen given away in the future, please feel free to suggest them.

Being as I’ve been on a roll with the whole blogging every day thing, I decided to keep it up and do a sort of meme. I suppose that’s what you could call it (then again does it really even matter?) Courtesy of Angela, who in turn gave credit to Gala Darling, today I bring you Ten Things I Love Thursday (obviously it’s me so I had to do it differently– because remember, I’m awesome)!
- Waking up next to my husband (though ironically enough, when I woke up he wasn’t actually next to me, which is weird. He got up before 6, so hell must be cold as ice right now!)
- Taking the beasts for a walk while fighting against the wind
- Watching Axis of Awesome’s 4 Chord Songs
- Purchasing a waterproof digital Olympus camera
- Eating breakfast
- Feeling hot water wash over me in the shower
- A kiss goodbye from my husband
- 3 simple, yet not so simple words: I love you
- Music blarring
- Not having to work with Satan.
What are ten things you love about Thursdays?

You know it’s kind of funny (I bet now you’re wondering what’s kind of funny—I’m getting to that, be patience damnit). What’s funny is that I’m snarky, bitchy, and sarcastic in real life but if I’m perfectly honest with myself, I tend to censor those traits on the web. I think in large part it has to do with the fact that I own a message board and I have to wonder if my members would appreciate that side of me so I kind of tone it down, which you know isn’t really fair to me or to them.
Now I bet, you’re sitting here thinking how in the fuck is not being snarky, bitchy, or sarcastic unfair to my members (well if you weren’t, you are now); well to put things simply it’s untruthful to who I am and as a result its untruthful to them (then again maybe they like that?). In any event I’m tired of being this façade of caring and understanding (now don’t get me wrong, I am in fact caring and understanding to an extent) and when I say that I mean caring and understanding to people who don’t deserve it because they’re clearly idiots and honestly should be pointed at and ridiculed for pure stupidity. Oops, was that mean? Oh what, that’s right I don’t give a fuck. Seriously. If you get offended, guess what? You needed to hear it and more importantly people need to stop coddling you because that’s the last thing this world needs. Another moron running around who is high as a cloud because someone didn’t have the balls to bitch slap you into realizing, you are not okay; in fact you’re far from it and need to realize that your reality is so far gone, help might not even help you.
The world today is such a disappointment. Too many people being hand held through life and far too many people who don’t realize just how idiotic they are because we have too many people who are willing to be empathetic (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) to the wrong people or situation. Case in point:
Someone who cheats on their spouse, posts about it and then asks that people not judge them for it.
Are you fucking kidding me? Who the fuck wouldn’t judge you? Hello, what world have you stepped into that you think you can post about something like that and expect people not to judge you for it. Are you delusional—wait, don’t answer that, clearly we know the answer. And guess what all those people who are saying, “I would never judge you because I don’t know the entire situation and I’m not in your shoes.” are LYING. Yes, you heard me—err read it, lying. They’re so full of shit when they say that it’s not even funny. Of course they’re judging you, it’s human nature. They’ve just decided to channel that judgment into yet another unnecessary coddle which results in yet another moron who should not be allowed to walk down the street because reality for them is the one which they’ve constructed in their head and not the one which we all agree upon. Wake up, if you cheated on your spouse you’re going to be judged for it; it’s a fact of life, one that I’ve lived through and guess what I came out unscathed—okay maybe not completely unscathed, but I survived didn’t I?
Another situation in which empathy was displayed incorrectly:
Someone who has a child to raise complains about how they don’t have any money due to a lack of a job and lack of trying, yet spends money on a World of Warcraft monthly subscription.
Do I even have to say anything about this? Wait, yes I do, because once again we’re too busy coddling these fucktards, instead of bitch slapping them and saying, “Stop bitching that you don’t have any money. Get off your fucking ass and get a job and for the love of G-d, cancel your damn WoW subscription, because you’re child is far more important. Right?” Sure, the job market is tough, but it’s not impossible to find something. Work at Burger King or McDonald’s for goodness sake. Whatever is necessary to support your child. Now is not the time to be picky. But what do instead? We tell them how sorry we are that they don’t have any money and hope their situation gets better. Really? Is that helping anyone at all? No, it’s just leading to yet another moron out on the streets, that I have to deal with (yes, I am so self-important, that now you’re displaced empathy is effecting me) and as a result another person I have to give a reality check because people were too nice to do it themselves.
So I am a bitch. I am snarky and I am sarcastic—but wouldn’t you rather have someone like me then some slum who thinks empathy/coddling is the method to use on EVERYONE?
Yeah, I thought so too; because let’s face it, I am that awesome and let’s not forget that I am also the one who saves you countless headaches by preventing even more morons from trolling the streets.*
*pssh! Queen B is back, hang tight or get the fuck out of my way.

So I just wasted an hour of my life hunting down my damn dog. Actually wait scratch that– I spent about 20 minutes of my life hunting down my dog and then 40 minutes trying to flag down Robby who was on his ATV trying to find the dog.
So here’s what happened. We took the dogs on a walk and were going to run them in the field. Robby let Benji go because he was being calm submissive and Diesel was still riled up from the dog we encountered on our way to the field. While I was attempting to calm her, Benji apparently took off after something and rather than take off after home, Robby decide it was best to tell me he just took off. Yeah, I know I don’t understand it either but whatever. So I told him to go after him, he does and then yells he’s gone, I need your help (by the way I was still dealing with Diesel).
So I cut across into the field to help him and can’t find him. Robby then decides at that point he needs to bring out the ATV because it’ll be easier to search for him. In my haste and worry I forgot to tell him to take Diesel with him, so as a result she stayed with me. After a few minutes of calling for Benji and Diesel being absolutely obnoxious, I decided to take her home. On my way home, Benji comes running up behind us, meanwhile I notice Robby round the corner in his ATV and follow after to try and flag him down to tell him I have the dogs. He doesn’t see me so I turn the block and walk the puppies up trying to look for him. Nothing. At that point I say screw it and say we’ll go home and he can just come back for us.
Yeah, that didn’t work out. As I was turning the last corner to go home, I see Robby’s lights behind us at the end of the block, so I turn the dogs around to go flag him down. He is driving up the street so I stop, thinking that he sees me because he passes right on by and head’s home. So I turn back around and start the walk home. Just as I’m rounding the corner he’s pulling out of the driveway in the car and I yell out “Baby!” absolutely frustrated because I assume he can’t hear me. He stops and backs up and I ask what the fuck he’s doing and he says, “Well looking for Benji.” I laugh and say, “You passed right by us on the ATV. I thought you’d seen us since you went home.” He says, “Nope, I didn’t see anything.”
So yes, I wasted an hour of my life, okay maybe not an hour, 40 minutes of my life looking for my husband, even though the search started out with me looking for my dog. Now how in the fuck did that happen? *facepalm*

So Robby’s new found sleep apnea machine or Darth Vader mask as he likes to call it as done wonders for his energy level. When I say wonders, I mean wonders. His sex drive has increased tremendously which is great except I’ve been pretty exhausted the past few days and as a result haven’t really been in the mood. Now I don’t rebuff his advances because let’s face it, me, turn down sex? Pfft. However, he can tell I haven’t been so into it and I have to just reassure him it’s because I’ve been so tired of late. I just hope it passes because I’d like to start really enjoying making love to my husband.
Today was a pretty productive day. I gave myself what I thought was a treat and slept in for an hour and a half, only to discover that was the worse idea ever because I felt like shit for it. So I’m pretty much never planning on doing that again, lol, I hated the way I felt. I felt sluggish and groggy and did not want to move. I forgot how much I hated that feeling and I definitely do not want to go through that again. So from now on I’ll stick to my previous schedule, lol.
I’ve added some nifty features to the blog, which I’m sure you all noticed upon arriving. I think it’s a great way to be interactive with my visitors, not that I get a lot, but still– I liked the premise of the plugin. In addition, I have also created a fanpage on Facebook for the site, so feel free to join! I doubt I’ll get many fans, but it’s there nevertheless. I figure it’s a good way to get the blog out there and hopefully attract more visitors.
So earlier today I was talking to Danika about hosting a giveaway– my first giveway, but I have no idea what to giveaway. Suggestions would be wonderful! Also if you say a giftcard please be kind enough to suggest where you want a giftcard to, otherwise I’ll be stuck trying to figure out what giftcard people would find the most beneficial.
Last, though certainly not least, TQB has it’s first hostee! Please welcome, JeniLynn! She’s completely new to the blogging scene so please be sure to shower her with lots of love and make her feel welcome. Well, considering that it’s eleven o’clock, I’m way past my bedtime so I think I’ll catch up on some sleep. Hopefully, I’ll feel a little more energetic tomorrow. G’nite!
EDIT
Only because I don’t think this deserves it’s own blog entry, lol. I’ve added a Facebook like button to the bottom of each posts and in addition have changed the concept of emo vote in hopes to improve my writing style. If a blog intrigues you, please select “intriguing”, if it was just okay and you’re pretty apathetic, please select “sokies”, and if it was crap don’t be afraid to say “needs work” and hopefully comment as to what you wanted out of that particular entry. Hopefully this will led to blogs that are not only interesting for everyone but also interactive!

It’s been a pretty long day. Robby woke up in one of his moods which in turn put me in one of my moods and as a result we ended up pushing the BBQ out a lot further in the afternoon. It seems though that everyone who was invited seemed to be okay with the time change so we didn’t feel too badly about it. Even still what a crappy way to spend our only day off together. Things seemed to have picked up so here’s hoping tonight is a much better night.
Right now I’m just hanging out until the rest of the people who said they’d show up get here. I know of one for sure who’s going to definitely make it out and Robby’s friend Matt said he would be a little late, but that was 2 hours ago and we haven’t heard from him since, so something tells me he’s not going to show up. Oh well, whatever. This is the second time the boys from work have said they would come and have not showed and this is the last time I take their word that they will. The next time we have something going on, I am just going to assume they can’t make it and won’t plan for them. If they show, oh well, track record indicates your word is not reliable and that’s not my problem. At least we didn’t spend a shit ton on food like we did last time so I’m not as upset about it.
Other then the crappy start of the day, the day didn’t turn out too bad. Obviously it’s still going on and people have yet to arrive, but hey it couldn’t get much worse. Could it?
