Attack of the Killer Turkey

A few days ago, we were searching through netflix's selection of movies when we ran across a movie that seemed to be created just for the Thanksgiving holiday. the movie was about a homicidal turkey who was possessed and attacked teenagers. Now I've heard of a homicidal Santa Claus, but a turkey?

I swear I couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour and even considered watching the movie just to laugh some more. I wonder, what the producer was really thinking when he made this movie. Did he believe it was time the turkey got his revenge on our upcoming holiday feasting of the bird, or was he just looking to make people go, What the %$#@!

Well, at least I can now say, I've seen it all!

Handmade or Store Bought for the Holidays?

Years ago when my time was not so precious, I would create handmade Christmas cards with my kids using Christmas tree rubber stamps and other crafting items (Yes, this insane writer has many talents). Of course, in reality the cost was more most store bought cards, but the results were much more personal. I even went as far as making homemade fudge for family and friends to go along with our cards.

This year, I will probably choose once again to go with the store bought version, simply because it's a lot more economical. Yep, show me a cheap version for less than a dollar for 10 or more cards and I'll show you my handcrafted results this Christmas on here.

Okay, enough about my crafting abilities. What about you? Are you going to personalize your holiday cards this year, or will you buy a store bought version?

Not This Year

I'll be honest. As shitty as it sounds, I'm really not in the mood to think about Father's day gift ideas this year.

At the most I'll probably call my dad, but it's as far as things will go. Money is tight and he's generally very picky about gifts and homemade gifts he's just not into. Plus, my parents home is so full of knick knacks that even the smallest trinket is just too much.

So I'm skipping the gifts this year and we'll leave it at that. What will you be doing for your dad this father's day?

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I hope that all of your holiday wishes and dreams come true!

Mid-Week November Financial Update

Because of the holidays I've been way behind in both posting and working and job opportunities online have been rare. I also had to use the credit card that is not a closed account to get my husband's glasses.

Usually when we pick up glasses from the eyewear shop, they've already filed his insurance and we get a check to pay for the glasses. Well for some reason this time, they didn't file his insurance. So in order to get his glasses we had to pay half down. Unfortunately half down was nearly half of what my husband and I make in a week, so we couldn't afford it out of pocket. So, I had to use the credit card.

The good news is, just as soon as we do get the check from the insurance company, that amount will go back on the credit card. Well, that is unless, something else goes wrong, sigh.

Here is a breakdown of what I've made online for the last two weeks of November.

November 15-30th

Payu2blog: $30.00
Payperpost: $27.50
SocialSpark: $7.04
Adbrite: $0.00
Kontera: $0.00

Total: $64.54

Stretching Ourselves Thin

The last several weeks have been very busy for us. More so for my husband. It's been five years since he's had glasses and he finally broke down and went to the eye doctor about it. As it turns out his prescription hasn't changed, but he did need a new pair of glasses. His lenses were a smokey white and that is definitely not normal! So he has a pair on order that should be in this week or next.

Another thing that he did was visit the dentist. The news was not good and he'll need to have surgery to remove his wisdom teeth sometime this year. I honestly don't know how we're going to be able to accomplish all of this. This month alone we're planning a trip to Oklahoma and a trip to Mead Kansas for the holidays. And then he'll either have to go to Bartlesville, Oklahoma for the surgery or Wichita, Kansas.

To make matters worse he didn't get last week's paycheck because of some holiday screw up at work, so we've been broke for a while now and I won't get paid until next week, if then. So, it's going to be a very busy and insane month for everyone here!

Websites and Holidays

I have begun working on my new website. It will be a long and tedious process, but in the end I believe it will be worth it. I also want to branch out on other websites when I have more time.

Right now things have been really insane around here. We did manage to spend some time with my family for the holidays this year. I have not seen any of my family since my wedding, so it was nice.


But if you're married, as you probably know, it's difficult to maintain peace between families when there are certain traditions each year. It's even worse when you have parents that are divorced. So trying to juggle holidays between mom and dad on both sides can be difficult.

There was also another reason I needed to be there this year for my family, but I'm not going to go into details on that here. This Christmas we're planning to see the husband's family. He has grandparents that he hasn't seen in a very long time, so it will be nice for him to be able to do that.

Anyway, I got a little sidetracked. I do have my website up and running, but it needs a lot of work as I said. Feel free to drop by if you'd like: www.theinsanewriter.com

The Nightlife

I love the look of lingerie, although I am not sure I'd wear it. My reason is I am very self-conscious about my body. Especially after having 3 kids. I guess I don't have to really worry much about that however, since my husband is not a big fan of lingerie in the first place.

I still love the look of lingerie, however and Lingerie Diva definitely has a nice selection of the stuff. Everything from chemises to sexy little santa suits. They're also having a Holiday sale of up to $75 off. They even have lingerie for under $25. How cool is that?

Okay, so I must admit, maybe I could get away with something that hides my imperfections like with the Lycra Halter Babydoll (pictured at the right) that is featured under their Christmas Lingerie for under $25. Now I wonder what the hubby would think??? :)
