ROLLING IN THE MUD

So just to prove how not sane I actually am I did another mud run. On purpose without anyone holding a gun to my head....see not sane!!!  Really I wanted to do this one because it was  called "Wild Hog Mud Run" and you got a t-shirt and a medal- AND the HOG is in the PIG family....and we know I love the piggies! So the hubster and I signed up a few months ago, only he still isn't feeling in tip top shape - so I convinced  my Jamaican workout buddy to do it with me ~ she was the only one crazy enough to join me!

This truly lived up to it's name ~ there was SOOO much MUD.....and I think not all of it was JUST mud since we were in cow country if you know what I mean! And  ~ I really didn't read the sign up sheet with all the obstacles - missed the part about the "Spectators Throw" where as you are climbing over medal poles in the murky river.....people are throwing rotten tomatoes at you?? Or the swim across the muck pond!! Ewww and there was a bull roaming around the course....he wasn't part of the obstacles thankfully (although I am sure he left some things AS obstacles)  but I guess he did not get the memo that he shouldn't be there~ and I guess no one was going to offer to tell him either!
This video is by a guy that did the race and came back to video tape his friends during my race wave. I make a muddy cameo at the end in the mud pit for a spilt 10 seconds!

THIS IS AFTER THEY HOSED ME OFF !

 Still caked in some mud as I got home I was telling the hubster and PC all about it his eyes got huge when I mentioned my theory on the mud not JUST being mud! He told me I needed to get in the shower right now  and better use soap and shampoo ...and lots of it! OHHH How proud am I ~ he knows that's the stuff that's gonna get you clean!! Well it took a very LONG shower 2 full shampoo jobs, 1/2 bottle of body wash, plus the nail scrubber, wash cloth and 1/2 a bar of soap to remove all the grim! Hubster kept making spot checks to inform me I was still dirty!! When I got out of the shower...he informed me I was still sporting some dirt!

Well today I think I am finally dirt free but I am sooooo sore I feel like I have been run over by a mac truck and then he went in reverse and did it again! So I think the next one I am doing will be in October...maybe ....it'll give me enough time to forget how &^%$^*ing hard this one was! But in the end I got my medal which is what I really wanted ~

 I really want to do the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon ~ and it's not for my LOVE of RUNNING!!! Hahahaha it's for the cute pig medal and pig t-shirt! But I don't see myself going that far to run a race on purpose!

Jamma Boy

It was so close today.....I had PC up, showered (with minimal yelling to speed it up and use soap) , lunch was packed and we were just about to leave when suddenly he halted in front of the hubster's office to realize that hubster was still in his pajama's.......that's when it hit him, dad was working from home. Ughhhh yes I was so close to getting him off to camp today  ~ but then he did an about face and headed to his room and said I will be right back.  Only to reappear in his jammies and to inform me that I was crazy to think he was going to camp if dad was going to be here. Of course the hubster ....just smirked.....GEEZ wonder where the boy gets it from!!!

I think I may have to rename PC ~ Prince Charming (not precious child which is what one of my co-workers thought it must stand for LOL until she stumbled through some of my postings here in blog ville) to JB - Jamma Boy! He has seriouly been in his pajamas (dont worry NEW pair after each LONG shower~ I know this because the evidence aka dirty jammies are on the floor when I get home ) since THURSDAY of last week ~ and today my friends is WEDNESDAY! Hubster's been ill so he has been taking it easy and working from home on the days he is normally at the office. I will say that Jamma Boy is in "Pig Hog Heaven" with that.....not the dad being ill part ....but the being at home for the past 7 days....in his jammies and really the only time he tends to remove his ass from  his chair is to pee and go to the kitchen for something to eat! Who knows maybe he is afraid he will combust into flames if he is to step outside in the sun or to the 3-D world.

I know...........I know.............it could be worse, he could be doing so many other things worse then playen on his computer all the time, yes I watch the news and read the papers ( well mostly the funny's and my horoscope but  still). So I guess my hope is that all this tech time will pay off and he will be the Bill Gates and take good care of me and the hubster when we are "old and be-fuddled" as he likes to say!

So this week he is in his Pajama Loving Glory as he managed to NOT attend 1 single day of the FULLY PAID for summer Camp! But I did manage to get alittle  dig in...when I mentioned that school starts in about 30 days!!! Yep- that's me the mature mama

ALL DONE

My finished product! I added Mod Podge Sparkle as my sealer ~ every girl have something that Sparkles!  I didn't follow all the directions I found online and skipped a step here or there, but I think they turned out pretty cool! Even PC had to admit they are pretty cool shoes! I am hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow so I can wear these bad boys to work!

IT WAS FATE .....

I woke up with the urge to purge this morning....well really I woke up because my darling 4 legged children were hungry at 5:10am and would not leave me alone until I got up and to feed them. Because no one else was awake!  I decided since I was up I would start cleaning and organizing my closet and the linen closet. I had 3 bags to take over to the Goodwill store by mid morning.

That's where it happened....whether it was fate or my destiny (okay alittle dramatic) after I dropped off I decided I would take a look and see if there was anything that gave me that spark to be crafty! And right there in the doorway, calling my name there was a bin of comic books!! I flipped through the  comic books, picked out a Spiderman one that came with 2 editions. I continued to look around  and there they were like a shining star calling out to me..................RED HIGH HEELS in my size ~ and for $2.99!!! OMG ~ yes it proved it right then and there I was destine to make the comic book shoes and this would be great practice! The man at the counter rang me up and said "These comic books are a great price at $3.99, just last week a guy sold it on ebay for $50.00". Needless to say his mouth dropped open as I said "Oh I'm cutting them up and putting them on these shoes to make comic book shoes!".

Stoping off to Micheal's, I peeked at one of the online tutorials to make sure I got all the necessary supplies that I would need. And headed home to be crafty! I ran inside and showed hubster what I got, he looked at me like I might have grown a 3rd head and said "Your going to cut these up? "  And then started snapping pictures to send to his comic loving brother - I'm guessing with a note that reads "Pep's gone crazy...she is cutting these up...better come quick" ..................GEEEZZZ Men I tell you...........well duh I am cutting them up I am making some new shoes here!!!
I settle in my office, pull up a you tube video on it, and start cutting...and cutting...and cutting, I decided I had cut enough scrolled around for a few more online tips and then started painting the Mod Podge on the shoes and started sticking the pieces of cut up comics on. That's when I noticed one of the tutorials said it takes 8 hours PER SHOE!!! WTF??? Have I completely lost my mind??? I do hope some of that 8 hours is dry time...oh yeah it is ....but you also have to coat them again the next day as well!! I wanted to be out and about wearing these bad boys!!! Well they aren't done yet because clearly it's gonna be a few days til they dry you recoat them 3 times and then put the clear coat on UGHHH ! And they won't be my practice shoes because that mess was very tedious!! So they better turn out FAB-U-LOUS!!! Here is after 1 coat, I have them on the hubster's workbench as my little  hint to clean up the edges for me with a razor!

While I was putting them together PC strolls in (rare occasion that he removes his ass from his computer chair) and then says "What are you doing? Does dad know?"  GEEEZZ "Yes dad knows and he thinks they are pretty cool looking  , and these are MY comic books anyways!! So HA! " ~ Yes that is me the mature mama .........

Mr. Sandman ..........

I had a great nights sleep last night! Not so much the night before, I awoke at 3am with the sound of a chainsaw roaring to life next to me  ....oh my bad it was only the hubster snoring, a few tugs to  his pillow to move his head, a few jabs to his shoulders  but he kept sawing away. Then I had Rigby the crazy kitten investigating who stole his poop from the litter box. At least that is my best guess on what he was doing in there scratching away at the top of the automatic litter box (best invention ever) so I get up to chase him out of the poop stealer. I start to lay down and hear "Mom...mom..." I walk into Prince Charmings room now at 3:30am as he is sitting straight up in the bed eyes wide open and starts mumblings about "where are the Lego's and in mind craft he did ..........." I walk over and put my hand to his forehead and push him back down on the pillow....don't worry I did it gently...he is a sleep talker and sleep walker!

 I found him one time getting ready to pee in the hubsters chair~ he thought it was the bathroom! So it's a good thing that I am such a light sleeper or who knows what would happen in this house! PC usually comments to his buddy that "my mom's hearing is so good she can hear a moth fart" . Okay not so flattered by that statement, I think it's really that he and buddy suck at whispering so I can hear everything they say! Even 3 rooms away as they are plotting how at 5am they can sneak past my bedroom to get into PC's room and start gaming...I yell out to the living room  "not gonna happen ...go back to sleep"  I decided I might as well stay up since clearly the dark forces were in my way of sleep and then the wheels start turning about all the projects I want to do, need to do, have to do! So I grabbed the last lemon bar covered in powdered sugar (yumm) at 4am and settled down to read on the couch just as Tweetie Bird, my cat...he is the labeled as "the mama's boy" ......who really doesn't care if someone is stealing his poop...he's just happy it's a clean litter box jumps up with me and claims  his cozy  spot to lay ......right on top of the girls is where he trys to settle in and gets annoyed when I scoot him over so I can breathe and actually see my book with out all cat in my face. The nerve of me right!

Yes last night 3 melatonin's later I was in a blissful sleep didn't even hear if the hubster had the chain saws going, but when I woke up he was on the couch so maybe I was the one with chainsaws blaring?
