Well crap. Now it's happening to me, too.

Anonymous spam comments. Believe it or not, I've never got one. Now I have. But I deleted it. Take that, anonyspammer!

Here's some random just to tide you all over until your bestie (hello. that would be me!) is back in the land of blog. I have a feeling I won't really be back to commenting or posting until at least Monday.  Stick with me, 'kay?

Alright, onto some fun (and by fun i mean quirky and/or crazy) useless crap!

We aren't going to be able to take the boys camping this summer like we do every year because we just don't have time in the schedule. So they camped out in the back yard last weekend with daddy.

They were lit'rally 20 feet away from where I was in my room. I couldn't sleep. I kept hearing weird noises from the front of the house and I was scared like a complete idiot. Kinda ridic for a 33 year old, ain't it?

Last Friday we went to a concert/celebration/festival thingy and I got burned to a crisp. I put lotion on the kids no less than 5 times but forgot myself.

Last night I scratched my shoulder and my fingers came away wet. Ick. I guess it blistered and I didn't notice so I scratched off. Not just "ick" now. Ouch.

It's only Thursday and I'm beat from this garage sale crap. The thing doesn't even open til tomorrow. I honestly don't know how people do it once a year. Sometimes even more. I vow that the only thing that will come into my house ever again will be groceries.

Except for purses and stuff.

I just made the lamest garage sale signs ever. If nobody comes, that's why.

I spent a good 3 hours today going through all of the paperwork my kids have ever brought home from school. 3 years of preschool and 2 years of elementary. Apparently keeping everything they've ever made really was a bad idea.

Right now I'm eating a tootsie roll. I forgot how good they can be.

I keep having nightmares about hair. I think because of the mustache incident and because of the "I'm not hairy" thing. The other night I dreamt that my ankles were covered in long, black hair. Almost like a hula skirt of hair. Weird. I don't even want to know what that might mean.
I'm running out of random so now I'm pulling stuff outta my...pocket.

My friend Jessica is helping me with the garage sale. I owe her. Big time.

I'll miss you while I'm in the midst of strangers coming and looking through my stuff. **shudders.**

If you live by me, come visit. You don't have to buy anything. Even though I have lots of awesome crap stuff.

There will be no FBomb Friday tomorrow. I'm too busy and too tired to write one up. Or just lazy. You decide.

Hope you all have a great weekend and I will be back to visiting next week!

I wished I lived near you, I would totally come! Hope you sell everything.

Mommy Lisa said...

Lame Sign = Awesome Garage Sale, I would totally stop.

Tip: SCAN your kids stuff into the computer! That is what I do with Boo Boo La La - I even upload to Snapfish and share cool pictures she draws with family!

Ian said...

What are you selling. I will buy it.

Mrs Montoya said...

Heelarious - of course!! The more random the better, I think. I got burned the same way last weekend. Minus the wet scratch . . . The kids were all kinds of protected and I got fried. Good luck on the garage sale!! It will totally be worth the $63.12 you'll make after hundreds of hours of work :)

Did you get the delicious asian spam that comes to you in Kanji characters and taste like soy and ginger? Those are my favorite types of spam comments. Especially when you run them through Google Translate and they turn out to be the most ridiculous stuff, like 'Earn money shaving squirrels at home' or 'The secret to ending erectile disfunction is in smearing goji berries on your manhood'. Sooner or later we all eat the spam sandwich.

McVal said...

Except for purses and stuff. LOL! I KNEW it!
I would so come to your garage sale! dang. And you probably won't even save the glamour shots for me either...
Good luck! I hope it's successful for you!

Jessica said...

You will say that you'll never have one again, then you will look at all the crap just sitting there and then remember how much $$ you made at your last one. Happens to me every year.

Brandy said...

it will be over soon - then you can spend all those dollars. I agree though - I HATE having garage sales. what a pita

Lisa Anne said...

I hate the damn spammers and it doesn't even matter if you have the word verification on and stuff. I can't get rid of them. I've even called the companies, emailed and complained. No luck

Steph said...

I would come if I lived closer. The worst are anonymous a-holes. I had to disable anonymous comments. No a-holes allowed on my blog.

Yankee Girl said...

You have successfully talked me out of doing another garage sale ever.

You and that crazy guy who stopped by my house the day after the sale for dinner because he thought we were now friends.

Good luck!

Emmy said...

Good luck with your garage sale, they are a lot of work. Totsie rolls are so yummy. It is hard to throw the things away when they bring them home. I usually leave it on the counter or fridge for a week and if it still seems like the best thing ever than I keep it, but often by the end of the week I am able to make a better judgement.

Sara said...

Finally catching up - I've been swamped at work!

Okay, garage sales??? HATE them. LOATHE them. I can't stand to sit there a haggle with people over a Ralph Lauren men's shirt that I'm selling for $1 and they offer me .50. For real?????
And that is why I make a few runs to Goodwill each year. Much easier and it doesn't infuriate me.

Don't get me wrong though - I love to shop a garage sale if there's good stuff. :)

Good luck!!! Hope that sunburn gets better. Key word, my dear - SUNSCREEN. Use it.

shortmama said...

I hope you make good moola with your yard sale...then it will be worth all the trouble! I want to come! Guess I better leave now so I can make it!

hotpants™ said...

It's ok because you'll probably have a good F-Bomb Friday Garage Sale Edition next week.

Myya said...

I've only gotten spamers on my FBomb Friday post... conicidence I think not! :) Garage sales bite, well unless you make lots of money then they totally rock! Hope yours rocks!!

luckydame said...

Good luck with the garage sale and if I was in the hood, I would for sure stop by!

Sorry to hear you got burnt....yikes! And you got a spammer! Ugh....lame!

Have a great weekend!

Christiejolu said...

I wish I lived by you...

Cool a concert is always fun...

Frances said...

Wish I lived close enough to come to your garage sale. Wait, no I don't. I don't need anymore crap...errr stuff...in my house, either.

Hope it goes well!

sitting on the mood swing at the playground said...

There is always room for more purses and stuff!

I wish I were close so I could come to your garage sale...I would start bidding wars between customers to increase your profits.

Vivienne said...

Oh that is sooooo bad to get burned to the point you're blistering! Good luck with your yard sale.

Sara said...

Good luck with the garage sale!

I hope you have tons of 80 year old women come to paw through your unmentionables and then offer you 15 cents for one sock.

It's awesome.

Jane Anne said...

The hairy dreams- ew.
The garage sale- msg me where you live. I may have to garage sale hop. Jill's havin' one, too.

Anonymous said...

Well, there's my F bomb Friday, not having yours to look forward to!

daisymay aka Chantele said...

I wish we could have proper garage sales in the UK. We can go to carboots but we can't host garage sales as its not legal. very annoying coz its so much easier than carting all your stuff to a carboot. Daisy Dayz Home

Mr. Stupid said...

A concert sounds like so much fun. The lamest signs always have people looking for longer. That way, I'm sure they'll stop by your garage sale.

Sami said...

I wish I lived close to you! I want a piece of MiMi awesomeness! Probably best that I don't live closer though, or my husband would never forgive me for all of the stuff of yours I would adopt. Good luck with the sale! I hope it doesn't kill you!

Unknown Mami said...

I'm sure you will have some lovely F-Bomb moments to share once you get back. Hope the sale is a huge success and you become rich.

Ally said...

I get a ton of those asian porn spammers if it makes you feel any better.

Enjoy the garage sale! Hope you make a mint!

Jen @ tatertotsandjello.com said...

XOXOO
