A wee bit of the ramblin’s

I was watching The Biggest Loser and this bitch on there (Vicky) who purposely threw the challenge and the prize was videos from home.  She said seeing her kids on video again after seeing them not too long ago “didn’t mean anything” to her and she didn’t care to do it.  Oh I’m sorry Ms. Thing but 1) you’re not the only one on the team and 2) I’m sure your kids really appreciate knowing seeing them didn’t mean anything to you.  I hope you gain all of your weight back.

The man was looking at the paint ingredients the other day and pointed them out to me.  After reading off a list of unpronouncable ingredients the last one was rather curious.  “Some ingredients unknown.”  Um really??  How do you not know what ingredient you’re putting in a product??  Here’s some unknown goo seeping toward the sewer, this looks like it might go well in the paint.  I mean it’s not even like “we’ve boiled down a boot and used the juice for your painting pleasure.” 

We went on an adventure to find reasonably priced soy candles last night.  After just having painted the ceiling, we’re aiming to reduce the amount of soot going into the air.  The area above our armoire was just covered in soot you just didn’t even see until it was way too late.  So online Target had a great selection of soy candles that didn’t say “online only” or anything.  Of course we get there and it’s just the crappiest selection you’ve ever seen.  I think they had 3 scents in the soy and it wasn’t even what you saw online.  We weren’t happy.  So off we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and they had the Yankee Candle “Beanswax” line which is soy but has a few setbacks.  1) YC is just plain expensive.  2)  Their beanswax line is limited in their scents, big time.  3) They put them in these hideous bright green frosted glasses.  Like “see, our candles are environmentally friendly.  They’re GREEN, if you will.  So to be ironic we poured the wax into these GREEN glasses.  Get it?”  Really?  Thanks.

While in Target looking for a gift for my mom for Christmas, I overheard a woman walking with her 3 kids and I didn’t hear what smart ass comment the kid made that prompted this snotty response “I raised you on my own so I damn well think that makes me responsible.”  Well, you go girl.  You’re talking down to and cursing to your child which will surely raise a quality adult for me to share the world with.  Later as I pointed her out to the man, I heard her telling the kid how much something she bought cost, not once but like four or five times.  Okay, we get it, you’re bitter, you’re trying to teach your kids the value of a dollar albeit in a condescending manner.  I bet Christmas is a real blast at their house.  “Do you know how much money I had to send to Santa to get you these presents?  I’m a single mommy and had to send him more money than other families who have two incomes because your deadbeat father can’t get his shit together.  Isn’t that nice of mommy?”  (A person like that will never just let the omnipotent being take credit for it, there will be a joint venture between her and Claus Inc)  I was raised by a single mom from age 8 on and never ONCE did I hear the “I’m a single mom” crybaby bullshit that made me feel like I should be grateful to get a pack of gum or something.  I admire my mother *because* she didn’t bitch about her adversity and the lack of financial support from my dad.  I didn’t want for anything and she sacrificed so I didn’t go without and I’ve spent my life paying her back for that when she needed things.  I highly doubt those kids who are constantly reminded about how she is struggling or what everything costs will be as appreciative.  They’ll resent her.  Snap to it sister, these kids will be picking your nursing home and when they put you in the one who lets their patients get bedsores, serve tasteless food and have a few “unproven” incidents of abuse, they’ll remind you how much it costs to send you there and how lucky you are to be in a home and not on the streets.

I was recently totally grossed out and kind of shaking my head at the lack of common sense of some people after I read an entry on someone’s blog.  For years this person’s family apparently goes to a public fruit farm and takes bites out of apples and leaves them hanging on the tree.  So there were at least 3 people who did this in the family from one having a tiny bite out of it from a little girl to a grown woman having eaten the apple down to the core and both were left hanging on the tree.  Now I’m not a prude, I like a good joke and I’m known to do the occasional wild and crazy thing but that just seems completely ignorant to me.  Let’s say you go to this place and you grab the apple the little girl took a bite of because you didn’t see it when you picked it, you were charged for it and get home to see that?  That’s just disgusting.  Not to mention how unsanitary it is and all of the bugs it could attract now that the flesh is exposed.  Then they’re projecting this idiotic behavior on what appears to be a perfectly sweet little girl who probably wouldn’t do such a thing unless encouraged.  You wonder where future jerks are bred?  I guess check out other people’s “traditions” in their blogs.  *rolling eyes*
