Sex and Cars...What Else is There to Talk About?

This post is going to get a little naughty. If you are very innocent and blush easily you can still read this post like I said its just a little naughty. I just want to be honest from the get go.

This morning I had another issue with my car. I don't think its a bad car just a cheap car that is approaching 100,000 miles and I am pretty sure it was never suppose to get that many miles, so there are all these little things that are starting to go wrong.

Today my car would not start...when I tried to start it all I got was a lot of click click click noises. Not being as car savvy as I should be, I called a lot of people to figure out 1. Why my car was not running? 2. How am I getting to work and getting the "pseudo" step-kids to their summer program?  3. How will I get home from work? 4. How much will it cost me to fix whatever is wrong with my car?

Luckily my brother works close by my house so he took a few minutes over and determined I needed a new battery, which was not surprising my car still had the original battery and its a 2005. But during the course of all my calling I had the following conversation with my mom.

• Me: Can The BF change the battery when he gets home or is this something I have to have done at shop?
• My Mom: He can do it. You could even do it.
• Me: I couldn't do it.
• My Mom: Yes you could. I could do it. You just unhook it and put then put the new one in.
• Me: I could't do it.
• My Mom: Michael, you could do it, its easy.
• Me: Mom that's why I have sex with The BF so he will do these kinds of things for me.

My mom wisely chose to ignore my last comment, I am sure mostly because she thinks I am a smarty pants. 

Later that day after going to buy a new battery I had the following conversation with The BF.

• Me: Honey thank you for taking out my battery and going with me to get a new one and replacing it. I really apperciate you doing all this for me.
• The BF: The things I do to get laid.

That's right he said that. This is why we are together despite are many many many differences we speak the same language of smutty smart a**.

I Just Love Him so Much

Okay so its been awhile since I have blogged.

Life got a little busy and I decided to take a brief brake from the blogsphere.  The good news I am back and have lots to share including recipes and all sorts of fun adventures including what happened to me on black Friday and why The BF is my hero.

But to start I want to share the exciting family news....my new nephew Skyson. Yup I am an aunt again. It really is the best role I play.

Skyson was born 11/28/2012. He is 7lbs 14oz and is 19.5 inches long.

Did you notice the red hair???? Yup we proudly have another red head in the family. I think they are occurring more often them they use to in my family unlike the rest of the world.

I haven't met Skyson yet...I have been fighting a cold (another reason for my long absence).

 I hope he calls me Aunt Michael....I love being called Aunt Michael.

I am Thankful

What is it about November that has everyone posting on what they are thankful for on Facebook? Oh Yeah its probably because Thanksgiving is in November. 

Whatever the reason here is my list for the first week + 1 day of November.

• Day 1: I am thankful for The Savior who gives me strength when I am weak and hope when I am in despair. Through Him all things are possible.
• Day 2: I am thankful my parents. The biological, the steps and the honorary ones they have taught me some bad, some good and some very bizarre things. I love them all.
• Day 3: I am thankful for The BF, with him I can be weird, a little or a lot crazy, often lazy, and he rarely complains about my half finished projects.
• Day 4: I am thankful for indoor plumbing. I know its shallow but it makes live so much easier and comfortable.
• Day 5: I am thankful for my sisters. With them I can laugh over nothing, fight over everything and occasionally share shoes!
• Day 6: I am thankful for a job that allows me to help people and make a difference in my corner of the world.
• Day 7: I am thankful for the 'Pseudo" step-kids. They keep me on my toes and laughing.
• Day 8: I am thankful for Bram Stocker, with out him there would be no Dracula, no Interview with a Vampire, no I Am Legend, no The Strain and no Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Happy 165th Birthday Bram!!!!

To Be Thankful or Not To Be Thankful this Thursday

Today is Thursday and I am not feeling Thankful. Everyday I wake up and try to be grateful for the wonderful blessings in my life. I go through a list of people and things but today I can only think....UGH (I am betting this is because I am tired....I really hate being tired).

It all started last night (not really but this is kind of funny) when I was curled up next to The BF (this part is true) and we were watching a TV show about a man that killed his wife and three children (really inspiring I know). As the show was ending and I was feeling all secure and happy I thought to myself. "I am so lucky. I never have to worry about The BF killing me and folding my body up in a suitcase and throwing me off a pier to hide me." (Seriously this was my thought). Right after I had this warm fuzzy thought about The BF...the jerk scared me and not on accident but purposefully startled me. And then he laughed....and when I told him what I had just been thinking he laughed even harder.

Can you believe it?

So today I am going to list things I am often thankful for but occasionally not so much.

• The BF: While he is a great guy and mostly wonderful on occasion I am not enamored of him... see biking story and above paragraph.
• My Sisters: Like most woman with sisters I love them a lot but periodically I cry out to God asking why I could not be an only child...see closet story.
• My Brothers: I don't often write about my brothers....in fact I don't think I ever have (I will have to fix that) but like my sisters I love them and sometimes wonder what bad thing did I do in a past life to deserve this torture.
• And last my hair: what is it about my hair that some days it wont do a thing and other days (like today) it looks amazing.

So on this Thursday what are the things that you are thankful for but every once in awhile make you want to pound your head (or maybe their head) on the wall.
