is it just me.......

or is there nothing on earth more painful than doing homework?  i'd rather stick pins through my eyes.  i'd rather bend back my fingernails and toenails till they fall off exposing raw bloody nailbed (cringe)  i'd rather... brace..... get my earrings torn out by a thrashing toddler. yes indeed. it's that bad.  it's like going to war - i close all the blinds and lock out all the animals.  i set a timer.  i curse, i sweat, my heart races (91 on the heart rate meter - i am not even kidding) and my accent gets soooo pointy with consonants so sharp they could give paper cuts to the bone.  so yeah, i kinda hate homework and wonder what life with little girls who do give a shit might be like....

psst wanna see a pretty house?  a house that will soon have it's halls decked with multicolored flashing icicle lights and a family of mechanical deer grazing on the lawn and a huuuuge 20 foot tall inflatable penguin...?  since i have no clue how to actually insert pictures into a blog post, you'll just have to scroll down :)  then scroll back up and tell me that isn't adorable!!!  and did i mention the lake it's on...?  and the acre of fenced land for pets and children to frolic and build snowmen on, by a lake entirely crafted by Mother Nature???  and it's not even got an ugly utilitarian fence - nooooo, it's a white picket fence!  which sure, won't keep out predators and coyotes but it's soooo CUTE!!!! 

today i had a coupon for Kohls, a store which i hate more than life itself.  i went in there expecting to find absolutely nothing worth buying because everything is so ghetto and nasty.  but they had Essie - not only that, but they had every color of Essie on earth :|  and with the magic coupon, it was entirely free!!!  (look out for that coupon - it's a keeper!)  i bought 'midnight cami' because i really needed more dark, foxtressy nail polish ;)  hmm now i wonder if they have Kohls in Massachusetts. and if they do, if they have that awesome coupon... and if the clothes there are still trashy or if they're nicer because everyone dresses like Jackie there and looks wholesome and STDless....


we are so stopping at this adorable store for Christmas cards :)



postcard i meant to mail in August to my Mum - it's on it's way!!!
