New Corpse!

I was being experimental on this one- and they liked it! YAY! BTW, mine is the 3rd panel. Yup, that's mine, the one with the superimposed dragon. The dragon actually came from Spectrum Glass. Boy was it fun to make.

Try it out!


Later!

Bruce update--- "awww..." :)

Bruce has another tooth! This makes 3. His first two came in at the same time on the tenth; bottom front. This newest one, discovered yesterday, came in on the top right side- not front. And boy is it sharp!

He is so big! Tonight he grabbed Rocksy's squeeky toy, crawled over to her, and gave it to her! And he kept doing it and chasing her and trying to play with her. Then she was chewing her bone and Bruce kept trying to get it. He succeeded and proceeded to eat it! Yuck! He is so smart! He even flipped the top open on my evian bottle!

He is into everything. He likes chex mix, but not the cereal- he likes the little chips and pretzels and swivelly things. He gives big wet kisses, too. The other day he crept to my face, with open mouth, dropped to my lips and licked me! And licked me some more! Eww- so I turned my head and he was getting my cheek. As I kept moving my mouth away, he started getting mad at me. Then I realized he wasn't trying to kiss me, he was trying to steal my gum! Sometimes instead of grabbing food with his hands, he uses his mouth and that is what he was doing. He copies us when he sees us chewing food and goes for it. "I want some too!" is what he tries to say. And he wanted my bright green, sugar free gum.

He is so precious!

Crabs at the Rainbow?

We went to Wibaux, MT last night for supper. And this is what our server's TShirt said: "I got crabs at the Rainbow Club" and it had a pic of a sexy girl with crabs crawling toward her.

Would you like me to explain? Ok, the name of the restaurant was the Rainbow, and Wednesday's are all you can eat crab. Which is why we went! That shirt was awesome.

God did I stuff my self on monstrous crab legs. God it was so good! And Chantz had a blackened ribeye with a twice baked, Austin had applewood smoked ribs (Kevin smokes his own ribs!!!) with a baked, and Tessa had steak strips (she said mine are better, what a lovely girl) and a baked. And bruce, he had a bunch of crackers and my twice baked. I left all room for the crab, baby. No salad either! Although I did have some cottage cheese topped with bacon bits and cheddar cheese. OMG! So good!

After being sick all week with Morning sickness, it was so nice to eat something for once! I even drank a squirt!

Tessa, however, didn't feel good soon after and spent the night throwing up. She thinks she ate to much. I think it might have been the ice in her pop. Don't drink Wibaux water. Ever.

The Rainbow has the best food in like a hundred mile radius. This is the midwest people, there isn't much within that radius but a bunch of small towns and some smaller towns. Wibaux is one of the smaller towns. God they have good food. We even drove there from Bismarck once! (Check that at mapquest people!)

Vampires

Vampires. I love vampires. Books, movies, tv shows, you name it! I like 'em. If a vampire were to walk into my home, I'd be like, take me now!

Ok, ok. Sounds a bit silly. But why has someone who is so in love with vampires never seen Bram Stoker's Drakula until last night? I really let my (youthful) distaste for Winona stop me from watching a vampire movie? Bad girl. Bad.

And it's a love story! She really loved him. Awww...

But, I am terrified of scary movies! I have nightmares. I am scared of the man under the bed. The Ring still frightens me. But I love vampire stuff and it doesn't frighten me.

So I have finally come up with a way to still my waking fears. I just think to myself, WWBD. That's right- "What would Buffy do?" Hell yeah, she'd say something witty, like "Are you having a bad hair day?" And wack! She'd kick her ass and pop off her head.

So when I'm afraid, I just imagine I am Buffy, and all is better.

Now I know she is not a vamp, but who better to kick psycho/ghost/demonic ass than the gal who is tougher than all vamps and demons ever created? Ever? Duh!

That and she got to #### Spike.

Raarrr!

I found it!

Finally, I found my homeschooling books! Their box was mixed in with the boxes that are going to storage! Amazingly, I was able to get many of the books from Ambleside at the library. Way cool. Now I just need to buy a new math book. I don't like the one we have. I found one that teaches multiplication through word problems, so that the kids comprehend what multiplying is, not just memorizing a times table. Example: You have 5 cups in a row, and you have 4 rows. How many cups do you have?

I think that will work. And I had to suspend all computer/Xbox use, and limited TV to one to two hrs a day. They think way too fast to have any patience with being read to. Austin, especially! But he is still young yet, and we will just have to change the way his little brain operates.

This is going to take a while.

Later.

Morning, noon and night sickness

Why can't this, my fourth pregnancy, be like my first two? You know, perfect beyond belief without one ounce of morning sickness? I feel terrible all the time! And I could sleep 18 hours a day! I can't, but god I wish I could! And no matter what I seem to eat, nothing makes my tummy feel better, not even saltines and gingerale!

Until now. I made peach crisp this morning, quite simple actually. Just two cans of peaches in heavy syrup in a small baking dish topped with crumblies (2/3 biscuit mix and 2/3 brown sugar, 4 T cold butter and 1 tsp cinnamin, cut together). Anyway, I cooked it too long, 15 minutes at 400F, when 10 minutes would have been fine, so it is more like a peach pie than a crisp. Anywho, not only is it so incredibly delicious, OMG, but it made my tummy feel better!

I'll never eat plain peaches again.

I want my mommy!

I have a cold and am super sensitive to sound today. The kids were very loud. Very loud.

Tessa was pulled from public school today. I will homeschool her, too. She was far behind the rest of her class and was being pestered by her teacher. I swear, does she even read these notes she sends home? Come on, it's only 3rd grade! Anyway, since she has switched schools every year since kindergarten, and we are not staying in Glendive forever, this is for the best. Hopefully by junior high we will be settled down and she can go back.

I was going to have her wait it out for a month, but when I told Chantz how her first 3 days were, he said "Just homeschool her!" We have short fuses with the PS system cuz of all the stuff we went through with Austin (ironically, this is the same school she went to for kindergarten). Tessa came home the 3rd day begging to be homeschooled. Poor girl.

So, most of my supplies are packed and I cannot find them! We were going to make cookies today, and the weather was perfect, nice and rainy, but I feel so terrible! And I would have had to clean the kitchen...

So yeah, today was a flop. But I did get many errands done, including a meeting with the Superintendent! Did I mention Austin has been off his pills for a few days (like, a week or so *cringe*) and he is driving me NUTS! I just keep telling myself, he's not on his pills, he's not on his pills... Thank god he took them today... thank god!

So, it's rainy, I am sick, Chantz is in Nebraska, and I am home alone with 3 kids and a dog. Bored kids and bored dog.

Today sucked.

Now Austin is sick. Aw, darn. Tomorrow he will be to tired to scream and have a fit! Yes! Now if Tessa could get it, too... (but not the baby or the puppy!)

I'm kidding. God!


P.S. Rocksy's first rainfall. She pooped on the floor. Must say she did not like the down pour much.

I'm going to bed. Shit, I gotta wash the dishes; Chantz'll be home in the morning. Damn.

Damn.
Damn.
Damn.

I don' wanna.

What people are searching for when they find me!

This is what I got off of statcounter, when I looked to see where my visitors come from. Someone searched for this:

Dawn Marie Dawn Marie redhead housewife mom naked nude and not wrestling

Ok, my name is Dawn Marie, I am a red head (unnatural), I am a mom, and a housewife, but I certainly am not naked! Geez!

And what is UP with the wrestling?

And this:

Tessa Everquest, which brought up this page. Dawn Marie Dream, this page. Deed of Paksonarrion, (really good book, btw!) this page.

But most people come from blogspot or other blog sites, and that is cool with me. Now, if they would just post a comment now and then...

Bitching

New corpse; mine is panel 2. Did you see the seam underneath mine? Did you? Argh... I get so mad. There was this other corpse that caused extreme controversy.. there was a seam but the colors matched and it was individual.. it did not try to carry on the "theme" and some players had the audacity to demand it be removed! They said it was a "fresh prince," although a f.p. is when you stick a completely unrelated picture with no attempt at creativity. Idiots. There are players who have done many corpses, who still cannot perform without creating a goddamn seam... hello people, when you get your slice, DO NOT BLEND ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP! Really, that is so much worse, and makes the piece look awful. But unlike those players over at exquisite corpse, I will not comment that negatively on site! It is rude and mean. I will vent in the privacy of my blog!

And you have no idea what I am yammering on about, but today this post is about me.

So there!

So for my next corpse, I am not going to worry about carrying the top picture through. My last one completely lacked my personality and creativity. This next one is about the creation, about what I want to make. I am still a bit rebellious, I guess. I love to stir things up. There is no seam, but I am not going to cater to anybody. I will follow the rules of the game, and not that of a few nit picky players.

Don't get me wrong, corpsing is fun, it is just once in a while there are some self-righteous prigs who believe they need to put down the work and the personal websites of other players!

But only once in a while.

So, come corpse with us!

News

We are finally done moving, after 3 trips from Laramie to Glendive; about 550 miles ONE WAY. I am so sick of traveling! Now we have to unload, uck! the trailer. I won't be getting internet for a few days yet. I am at the library, and will update more later about our excursions.

*sigh*

Upper levels of hell are better that lower levels, right? right?


Oh yeah, and somebody had 2 postitive pregnancy tests. That pretty much seals it doesn't it?

Later!

So damn pissed

I am so damn pissed at Bush right now, and I am not one to get into politics. But come on Democrats! Can't you do something to get this asshole out of office? Shit, the Rebulicans did everything they could to impeach Clinton, the best president we had in decades, just, IMO, to discredit the democrats and get another republican president! Can't we do something other that sit back and watch Bush sink himself so low, that no sane American would ever vote Republican again?

And can't the gov't in New Orleans prevent the city from becoming a New Las Vegas? Hello- look at how New York was cleaned up- Z-O-N-I-N-G. Do not allow the poor areas belonging to those wretched people who have no other choice but to sell their property be rezoned for Casinos! Duh. New Orleans charm comes from its rich history. You want to help those people? Help them restore it! And damnit! Do not let the entire city be razed for pete's sake!

I am so mad! I feel so impotent and I am here in the north, worrying about finding a place to live... it seems so petty now. Everything seems so petty. I can't even invite the "wretched poor" to come live in eastern Montana; all the houses have been taken by roughnecks. You know, due to the oilboom we are now in.

The irony.

But jobs are in plenty, we need lots of cashiers and maids and other minimum wage positions, as well as the highpaying oilfield jobs.


I'm done now. Really, I am.

'damn...

This is something I just had to quote:


"Here, then, is the new American motto, as reimagined by BushCo: Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, and we'll let them die in a filthy and decrepit storm-ravaged American football stadium while our president languishes on vacation and ponders his oil futures and fondly remembers his good ol' days of getting drunk at Mardi Gras before going AWOL from the military. God bless America. "


'damn.

My son is a player!

My son, my ten year old son, is a little perv. We are coming up with ideas for a name for a dog. Here is the top 8 list (by Austin and Tessa):

1. SexyThang
2. StarFire (Teen Titans)
3. Thanginator (like "sexy thanginator")
4. Raven (Teen Titans)
5. Chick
6. Fang
7. Mystic
8. Foxy

Now that I have noticed that there is a pattern to this list, they get all riled up. And I hear Austin gigling telling his sister what kind of chick-magnet car he's gonna have when he's a teenager. He says when he's a teenager he's going to like girls and be handsome, strong and going to get the prettiest girl ever! And if he finds someone even cuter, he's going to "ditch" her for the next girl.

Think that's bad?

Then he's going to have a baby (he is still ignorant of the birds and bees) to attract girls, because they will think he is so cute raising an adorable baby by hisself! EDIT:***Austin now told me he meant he would borrow a baby to attract girls. Phew! I almost thought my baby was going to be a pig!***

Oh my god!

Thank God he was just being silly.

But I am going to have to watch him when he becomes a teenager. Thank god I have three years.

BTW, still no luck finding a place to live. Ma's in the ER due to a Migraine. And Chantz and folks will be leaving Texas tomorrow! YAY!

Not that we'll get to see him; we are leaving for home tomorrow, they will be coming here. I am going to get that "house" packed up, so we can go when he says GO!

Later.

What a waste of time!

So I went to Sidney and waited and waited and waited. And finally, after being told I could go look tomorrow, I convinced ma and Bill to take me out there. $700 for a teeny run down house? With no garage or anything? Whatever.


I was supposed to meet with the realtor today in Glendive, but didn't for this stupid waste of my time. I was hoping to leave tomorrow. Hello, I can't leave until I find a place, or this has just been a total waste of my time and money. And to top it all, the retards, yes I said it, out here in the Midwest, know NOTHING of the importance of TIME. If you advertise something, you better be ready to show it, rent it or sell it, damn it! I swear they dilly dally just to f#ck with people; because they can -(and because they are alcoholic assholes... come on, have you been to this waste, err, area? What else is there to do? Go to AA meetings? Create a meth lab?)


Tomorrow I'll call the real estate office and see if they are open and if they found anything for me. I called ahead so I would hope that they are prepared! Then I will call A.C. and see if he found out anything about that trailer. I also just checked the online classified ads for the local newspapers of Sidney and Glendive and have some numbers to call. BTW, S and H are about 50 miles apart. Sidney is 125 miles from Baker, MT. That's how bad it is.


Oh and Ma and Bill want us to live someplace convenient for them!! I need to find a place that is good for Chantz' job and, well, available!


And!!! Now Chantz and his folks won't be leaving Texas until Tuesday!


I should just go home.


No! Fight! Fight! Fight! I will find a place to live for me and my family damn it!


I will, I will, I will.

Baker

Oh, yeah, my hubby, the diesal mechanic, got a job driving truck for his parents in Baker MT. That is why I am here!

To Sidney, again!

I am in Sidney, MT waiting to look at a farmhouse out in the country. Laramie is 10 hrs away!

First, we drove about 4.5 hrs before we needed to stop for gas, and dummie me missed the exit for town! A few miles later I say a big sign that says "Fuel!" So I exit the interstate and drive around this loopy road to see this beautiful lake. I fuel up and then pump the damn employees for information, like where am I? What is this place? (HUH???) Ok, is this a campsite? (YES) How much is it? ($12) What kind of stuff do you have? (a bathhouse, pool, laundry, playground, cafe {which served: burgers, chz burgers, bacon chz burgers, dbl chz burgers, hotdogs and fries, no shit})

We went camping. Did I mention I only had a kids tent? Travelling with oneadult, moi, and three kids? Yeah.

Last night we stayed in a motel in Glendive, MT.

No more camping!

So I got a paper in Miles City and stopped at the best store in the world, Wal-Mart, as if I have to say!! and called every number in the rentals section. I found one house that may become vacant.

One hour later, in Glendive, I tried my luck with the Ranger Review. Five houses, all rented already!! Then I got a hold of A.C., the man who owns many propertoes in the town. He had a few units available could I come by tomorrow? 8:11 am, in his office. One small trailer, almost exactly like the one I live in, yes, I am trailer trash! except it isn't as wide. Sorry, won't work. The 3 bedroom might be rented, he won't know until tomorrow, since he's been fishing all week. { In a cabin, not a tent. } In a few weeks he'll own a 3 bedroom house maybe...

So I go back to the motel and call Chantz, who is still in Texas, but with a cell phone so its a local call. He tells me I need to call Bill. Damn. Thats my step dad who is mad because I didn't clear this rad trip with himand ma, although I told them I was coming, I just came a few days early, with no intentions at all of staying with them! OK? Anyway, I call and he found a house in the country...

Sin City

Wow!

That's all I can say.

Wow...



That and a crazy cat almost burst through my door a few minutes ago...



Damn latch.

Courting rituals of faeries

I think that faeries' clothing is always tattered because they are remnants of fabric; scraps torn from a dress hanging on a thorn bush, wisps of a negligee, stolen from a young maid's room and fought over by the faeries until torn to little bits and then sewn here and there to compliment their beauty... it is courting season now and suddenly frilly pieces of lace, grandma's antique doily and your daughter's ribbons are missing and cannot be found.

Faeries court in the fall I think, not in the spring, and prefer earthy tones, which compliments their coloring and helps them to blend in. Oh, not to hide from humans, of course, their magic can do that, but as part of the courting ritual, silly! Everyone knows a faery must play hard to get! And what better way to do that than to blend in? (Remember, fairy magic doesn't work on other faeries!)

And where did your husband's deep red handkerchief run off to? Why, it is the new silk blouse sported by at least four male fairies, all getting ready for the hunt, um female hunt that is! Their shirts are not as tattered I think, for they worked together to steal that hanky right out from your nose, to be daring of course... to impress the ladies later on, and they simply split it in fours quite neatly.

This, I must confess, is done also to impress the ladies... little she faeries do not like their men to be anything but impeccably neat and tidy! It is the females job to rumple them up! Every one knows that! That is why I think that he faeries are better sewers than the females; they take much more pride in their looks in hopes to entice the ladies.

Don't get me wrong, our tiny girl faeries take pride as well, even more so if I must say, but they know how much more attractive they appear in torn and tattered clothes, and it may look like they were fighting over that negligee, but that was carefully planned and staged! Boy faeries must feel that they are being fought over; that the girls would fight to the death for them! Oh, I laugh at their folly. She faeries are bestest of friends and no boy could ever pull them apart.

They just know how to play the game.


Do you?

Everything

Oh my god! Has it really been a month? And what a hellish month has it been! Why is it that when we owe money, businesses demand quick and immediate payment, but when they owe us money, we gotta wait? I had to shell out 1st and last months rent plus an excruciating deposit RIGHT away on my old dung heep, but they get to wait 30 days before returning my deposit!!!!!

I was a naughty girl and bounced a check at Albertson's and they took the $30 fee out of my account, without notifying me, TWICE! Yes, that is $60! Now for their part, I will admit that it was not they who handle bounced checks, but a 3rd party company. Since they took the money out of my account, more checks bounced! Do you think they should pay me back the bank fees? I sure do!

Homeschooling is actually going very well so far. Austin is getting so much better at reading. He can read big words like demonstrated and wastebasket, but small words (sight words) totally confuse him. Plus sometimes he reads way to fast and confuses the words, or even starts making stuff up! He is only ten.

Speaking of ten, he just had a birthday and with his b-day money he bought the expansion to roller coaster tycoon 3, Soaked. Now he can make water rides! My grandma had missed Tessa's birthday in June so she sent them both some money. Do you know what Tess bought? A My Scene Barbie Doll that has removable heads!!! It came with 3 heads! Can you believe it? I looked it up, it is called My Scene Swappin' Styles Madison. She doesn't go for blond bombshell barbie, she likes the girls with dark skin and hair.

I have a new corpse up, mine is the last panel entitled "Self portrait." I have been selected to participate in a new one and I am working on it!

Chantz got job, but I ain't telling where yet...

Gross!!

Oh my god, there is something seriously wrong with my husband. He just told me I couldn't "get any" until tomorrow, I already had mine for the month-!! THEN he said "you can say 'yay! its layday!'"

MEN!!!! I tell you what, I think men are colder than women... god!

or just lazy...(er)


you really wanted to know that didn't you!!!

This is the gross part. On Iron Chef America, not the original, we just saw 2 different chefs LICK THEIR FINGERS!!!! You never, ever see them do that on the Asian show!!!!! Gross!!!!!!!!!!!
