Fawk You Friday!!!!!!!!!

My very very first Fawk You Friday!!! I'm kind of excited about getting to vent and give a big fawk you to those that need it!

 

Fawk You to my husband's job who feels that its necessary to extend there hours due to the time change. So now instead of him no getting home untl after 9 when they closed at 8, he will now most likely be getting home after 10 since they will now be closing at 9. Who really needs to get their car worked on at 9 o'clock at night? I mean Really?

You know, I think that may be my only fawk you for today! I guess that's a good thing!

This just in...as the day has continued I've gotten another one!!!!!!!!
Fawk You principal of my daughter's school and the damn residency verification. I'm sorry my tax receipt shows 6% instead of 4% but when we refinanced they changed the rate on us and we have yet to get it set back to the 4% where its supposed to be. However, it has the same address on it that it has had on it for the previos two years. As for the other information you need, I already turned it in and now you're saying its unacceptable! How is it that I used the same forms of identifaction the previous two years but now my car taxes bill is not acceptable. FAWK YOU KIM!!!! If I didn't know any better, I would think that you were trying to make us leave the school. Well guess what, we're in that process because your school is too full of hippie liberals for my taste. If you're going to teach my child about the presidential candidate, teach her about all of them not just Obama. If you're going to teach my child about holidays, teach her about all of them not just Hanukah and Earth Day!


Have a fabulous Friday!!!

Five Question Friday!

Another Five Question Friday brought to you by MamaM!

Rules for Five Question Friday: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog. Answer them, then c'mon back to link up! I would love it if you'd link back to me, Mama M., but that's not a requirement!

If you don't have a blog, but still would like to play along, feel free to leave your answers in the comments of this post or any blog along the blog hop way!

Oh, and the biggest rule? Have fun!! ;)

Questions for Friday, June 4th:
1. If you could go back to college would you change your major? Or, if you were to go to college right now...what major would you choose?
That's a hard one for me because there are so many things that I'm interested in. I wouldn't do Psychology even though that's what my degree is in. I think I would either do nursing or graphic design. I know, two totally different fields.

2. What do you love most about your home?
That it's mine. I own it! I bought it in 2006 when I was 23 and I love that I was able to do that. Now its where we watch our family grow.

3. What types of books do you like to read (if you like to read at all)?
I'm not a big fan of reading books but I do love listening to them. My MIL gets books and puts them on her iPod so I get them from her. So far I really enjoy it! I can just connect up my iPod in the car and listen while I'm driving. Olivia doesn't enjoy it too much but Owen doesn't seem to mind!

4. What is the grossest thing you've ever eaten?
I don't know! I can't really think of anything. The grossest thing that I won't eat is Green Peppers and that's because I have a horribly gross story that goes with it that I will spare you! I hate the taste and most importantly the smell of them! YUCK!!!!!!!

5. If you HAD to be a character on a TV show, whom would you be?
Hmmm...maybe Meredith Grey. She gets to be married to a beautiful man, Derek Sheppard and she's a doctor so that doesn't sound too bad either.

Teachers' Gifts!

Normally I'm the mom that forgets all about Teachers' gifts. Luckily, I have a great grandmother who always remembers them and picks something up. Well, this year, since it was Noodel's last year in this class, I wanted to make sure I got all her teachers something. She goes to a montessori school so she's been in the same class for three years and now she'll be moving from the primary class to the lower elementary class.

I decided that I wanted to make them all something so that it was a little more personal. I made them each a frame, personalized some hand sanitizer and made some clothes pin magnets. I love Mod Podge and everything you can do with it. I also got them each a little basket to stick all the stuff in!

So here are some pictures of what I made. I didn't get a picture of the final present all put together in the basket however!

I just used plain wooden frames that I got for $1 and made them pretty with scrapbook paper, beads and felt. Of course, I used Mod Podge as my glue!

I got these hand sanitizers also for $1 and I'd much rather have personalized ones than plain ones. Again, I used Mod Podge, scrapbook paper and ribbon. I also used the Mod Podge with glitter. My paper was two sided so it gave the sanitizer a pink tint.

These magnets I made with clothes pins, magnet strips and either paper or ribbon. I just attached the paper/ribbon with Mod Podge. The green polka dotted one has a bead that I hot glued on.

Weddings!

I love all things wedding! I loved planning our wedding. I loved talking about weddings. I love going to weddings. So this week I pick weddings for my other 'W' word.

Here's how it works. If you want to join in just copy the question into your own blog, answer and post. Come back here and let me know you joined in so I can read what you wrote about!

What are your 3 favorite things about weddings? This can be your three favorite things that happened at you own wedding or just three of your favorite things about weddings in general!

So here are my three favorite things from my wedding!

1. Hubbs' vows to Noodle! When we start laying out our ceremony, we decided to include vows to Noodle! I had Nood preHubbs, so he wasn't just marrying me, he was marrying her too! I knew from the beginning that he was a great man because he accepted me even though I had a child and he loved that child as much as he loved me and treated her as his own from practically day one! So during our ceremony, after we said our vows to each other, Frank said his vows to Noodle. He vowed to love her as if she were his but also vowed to not try to fill the spot that was her fathers. He would have his own special place in her heart like she had in his! Like we exchanged rings with our vows, He gave her a necklace. The necklace has three hearts: one for me, one for him and the middle one for her. The middle one had her name engraved on it! I am so lucky to have found a man who loved me and my child!

2.Our cake! I loved, loved, loved our cake! When picking out our cake, I didn't want the usual white cake! I decided to go with a cake that Publix had listed under Groom's cakes. Our colors were brown and red and the cake had a layer that was chocolate coated on top with it running down the side. It was supposed to come with chocolate cover strawberries on it but instead, we put the strawberries as filling in the layer with the chocolater coating. It tasted like a big chocolate covered strawberry and was wonderful! I just wish I got more of it! Here's a picture of it from the site.

3. Planning it on a much smaller budget that most weddings are planned! Since this was my second wedding, we had to pay for a lot of it ourselves. I planned everything on aboutan $8000 budget and loved every minute of it! It wasn't stressful to me but fun to see what all I could get. I also did a lot of things myself. I made the favors, the inviations, and the programs. We splurged on food and photography which took up most of our budget but those are some of the most important things to have. You want to make sure your guests have yummy food and you want to have great pictures to remember the day by for years and years!

I'm going to have to try to add pictures later. For some reason it won't upload any right now and I don't really have the time to keep messing with it at the moment.

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has to share! I love weddings!

until next time...
