Seriously... Seriously?

I tell you the most interesting day that happened last night was that a grocery clerk was arguing with me over some KitKats. You read right. It was not my fault swear. It was really PETTY but she's the one that got angry with me about some stupid kit Kat's.

OK we rented a movie at our grocery store that has a RedBox and my kid went straight for the chocolates by the movie stand and grabbed a Kit Kat. She handed it to us and we seen that it said 3 for 99c. So we decide to get 3 but we didn't notice that we picked the other 2 that didn't have the same sale on the wrapper.

When we went to the self checkout we ring them up and notice that the one that had the .33c on the wrapper DID ring up that way but the ones that did NOT have it rang up as .50c. So just asking I asked the cashier lady why it was ringing up .50c ea if we got it where it says .33c for 3. (I know, I know I should have let it go because it was only .17c difference on each candy bar) I would have probably purchased them either way but I was curious as to why. So she acts like I just interrupted her busy schedule and stomps off to another section of the chocolates and matter of factly says No they are 2 for $1." I said "OK but I didn't get it from here, I got it from that stand over there." But she just kinda blew me off and said again, "Well no matter they are 2 for $1."

Then she walks off to where I pointed at and I headed to where I got them originally and I was thinking "well maybe I grabbed only one that was .33c from an old promotion and they don't have anymore" and I'm kinda blaming myself for asking in the first place.

But then I noticed she went the other side of the movie stand and Viola there was a WHOLE stand there that had boxes of kitkats that said on the wrappers 3 for .99c. Yea! so take that.

But wait, instead of saying something like "Oh OK, well get these ones so they ring up as .33 ea or didn't know these were here" or whatever, this bitch goes to the customer service area and dangles a kitkat in front of the cashier and firmly tells her, "Make sure you TELL the manager that these have to be changed to 2 for $1." WTF? Nobody can do that if the price IS ON THE WRAPPER. She was just pissed and wouldn't apologize because she assumed she was right and I was wrong but it didn't turn out the way.

I thought the way she acted was way unprofessional. If she didn't or couldn't help us she could of had someone else help us. It's her job to find out about products and prices not yell at CUSTOMERS. Even if it is over KitKat's.

To sue or not to sue...

Posted by Pixie at 9:02 AM 0 comments
I read that Jerry Seinfeld is being sued on a defamation and copyright infringement by the cook book author of 'The Sneaky Chef' MISSY CHASE LAPINE.

I think Missy is upset because Jessica Seinfeld's book 'Deceptively Delicious had more promotion (like on Oprah) and was written by a famous person. But I do agree that Jessica Seinfeld has similar recipes and a similar wink.



Which of course is the reason of the copyright infringement lawsuit (over a wink) and that Jessica stole recipe ideas. But Jerry Seinfeld was also to blame for the things he was saying about her and she filed that lawsuit even more with a vengeance. Like calling her a "wacko", or that she has three names which are associated to become assassins. That the idea of sneaking healthy foods in a child's diet is not original. And the fact that just because she's Jerry Seinfeld's wife she received more promotion. And then when Jessica came out with her cook book she received a ton of backlash. I didn't know anything about Jessica but I did after like 5 minutes. About her being a gold digger and what not. Anyway...

How funny when they finally meet in court.

But I also think that parents should have done this right away as soon as the kids could eat solid foods. I mean what were they feeding them when they were infants? Gerber fruit and vegetable purees. So all of a sudden when they are toddler and then kids do you just automatically stop feeding the kids vegetables when they were growing up with it all along? It could definitely be a big help but only if you've steered away from giving them vegetables.

I'm not saying my kid eats all her veggies but I definitely try to give it to her at every meal and read up on how to make it more fun for her to eat it without tricking her. I try my best to do this because growing up I never had vegetables and if you see a pic of me then you'd understand why I wouldn't want my daughter to grow up not eating in a healthy way. It also give me the assentive to eat my vegetables to when I set them in front of her.

And now in the stores there are SO many ways to get your veggies. I buy the mini corn on the cob and she loves it, she eats her green beans but only cooked with eggs, she eats her celery with peanut butter and raisin ants. She LOVES eating carrots (and by themselves). So I know I can continuously give them to her and then she can get used to them when she's older.

But I can't say that there cookbooks are not good ideas. You never know when my kid gets older she may altogether stop eating her veggies and then those books may come in handy in helping her get her required vegetables.

But you have to admit Jessica's book cover looks more appealing to pick up than Sneaky Chef's. Which is the real reason they did it isn't it? To try to help parents find more creative ways in getting them to eat there vegetables. Not to fight over which wink looks better.

ugh...

I've been so busy setting up insurance on the car and it's emission test.

We bought this car Friday night and on Saturday I had to take the car back to the dealer to get some stuff upgraded and it didn't dawn on me to go get insurance on the car that day. So my hubby decides he wants to drive it to his evening job where he gets out at 1245am. And on the second day that we have this car what happens? He gets a ticket...for no insurance. Now the cop just pulled him over for no reason and didn't offer a reason. Ended up given him the ticket.

Ugh, so now I'm upset with myself because if I would have gone on Sat. to insure the Jeep he wouldn't of gotten that ticket. I'm mad at him because he knew it didn't have ins. and I just don't like cops.

So now I'm thinking of trying to get a part-time job to try to help relive some of that stress off my hubby, but being home for 3 whole years taking care of my child. And to leave her kinda makes me nervous. Of all the stories you hear from babysitters, to day cares I'm a little weary of leaving her with strangers while I have to go of to work. I think that first day I leave her I'm going to just cry because I have always been with my daughter 24/7.

I would totally love to work from home but it's like you have to pay a certain home based company for them to get you started and have jobs mailed your way and not just a one time fee, it's like ever month. I was thinking of the option of doing those pay to do surveys but if you would see how much I hate answering one question at a time... or just answering questions that don't apply to me. It's sooo boring! And then some you have to like buy something for you to get paid so 'um' what's the point?

Well we'll see what happens.

Love my car =)

Posted by Pixie at 11:12 AM 0 comments
Yesterday we finally bought my hubby's and my dream car. A Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. In the color we wanted silver, and it being a 4x4. Now I have barely been driving for about 3 years and in that time I have been used to a small 2 door Honda. So when I had to drive this big o' boat back by myself (hubby had to go to work) to the dealer so that they can do some upgrades I was nervous with an upset stomach and literally heaving up into I actually got into the drivers seat.

But then I was thinking to myself "just like if you were in your little small car." Because with a bigger car I have to make sure I'm actually in my lane, and not to close to the cars when were at a stop light and stuff like that. But I am now comfortable driving it and I am sooo excited =)WooHoo to me =)

This is Paula's new video and I have to say that I'm liking it alot. For someone who's always on pain pills she moves and dances well. You definitely know she missed being the in the spotlight as a singer and dancer. Yea! Spell check finally works! =)

I AM the best cook!

Yesterday we went over my Inlaws house and like always it was mildy boring. My mother In-Law always has to rub it in my face that she thinks she's a better cook than me. She is really nice but when it comes to cooking she thinks that because my hubby is her mother he will always appreciate her food more. But thank goodness this isn't a 'Everybody loves Raymond' episode.

Simply Addicted...

Posted by Pixie at 10:43 AM 0 comments
Even though I am married, a mother and almost in my gasp 30's (haha just kidding!)there are things that that I am totally obsessed with even though maybe I shouldn't be..


OBSESSION #1

I still love cartoons, not like my daughters cartoons of Dora but my all time favorite SAILOR MOON. LOVE that cartoon! They had powers, it had a great love story and they would kick ass! Maybe because in that time they hardly had any girl cartoons. I have them recorded and yes I still do watched them along with X-Men and Thundercats.





OBSESSION #2




I own the whole series of ELFQUEST comic books. This is not really for children. It's a 1977 fantasy story about Wolfrider elves, a tribe of hunter/warriors closely allied with wolves.


Lots of reasons why I love this comic. They have awesome names like, DewShine, Skywise JoyLeaf and so on. 2nd because it had a great story line that consisted of alot lot of fairies, magic, dedication, and love.






These comic books and 'Legend' with Tom Cruise are the reasons I love Fairies, which is my next obsession...

OBSESSION #3





Need I say more. Well yes I do, I'm not a fan of Tinker Bell because she's too overrated =)

Left the best for last OBSESSION #4

Awwwww my favorite men in the whole wide world! I have been a fan since '99 and man I'm still a huge fan. I have all their videos recorded, I have all their concert videos, all their cd's from the US and Europe.. I have gone to every one of there concerts held in my hometown. I have saved every posters of them..

Ohh.. you should have seen my room. A 20 yr old with TeenBeat carefully and with complete silence taking out their pictures and hanging them up and covering every inch of my old room, swear I have pictures of the way my room used to look, don't make me pull them out! =)

I turned everyone I knew into a fan.. well almost but still enough.



Kevin Richardson is and always will be my LOVER. You don't know how hard it was to only pick ONE picture of this man and how long it took me! I slobbered on my computer screen with every pic. My hubby makes me feel the same for him but Kevin can make me piss in my pants, throw up in excitement, and shake convulsively... ALL IN THE SAME TIME!


Be still my heart.

Dreams are so weird...

Posted by Pixie at 9:04 AM 0 comments
I had the most bizzare dream last night.. lets see if I can remember it and tell it in a decent way.

I was in a house full of little kids, dogs, cats and I swear a HUGE gerbil who kept trying to bite me. I was supposedly frustrated about the living conditions that my hubby told me I should go to the bar to relax a bit. Once there I found myself talking to a couple there, but they seemed more like brother and sister, anyway, supposedly they knew me and they wanted to know about one of the other 'roomates' that was living there, and it was weird because we were talking smack about a boy I had a crush on in the 5th grade. Lord!

Then all of a sudden one of my high school friends who i've been trying to track down was there playing pool and I had felt like she had always been right in front of me the whole time, if that makes sense. Ok, then we all get together and I swear I end up having only one drink when I end up blackening out and not remembering a thing.

Then it gets weird, I'm supposedly driving to a dr. appt and I have my kid with me and I guess I was still in my bar clothes because I start changing clothes in the car and I'm only in a bra, a red bra, when i notice a cop car is behind me. We end up on a street with really high hills and i'm splashing the snow slush that was there. (I don't know what that had to do with the whole dream but it took awhile) Then we ended up in an ally across the street from the hospital and he turned right while I stopped there trying to cross left. Then all of a sudden it changes, I'm still slightly drunk and hitting on guys from my car when this fool comes along...



It was weird because I hadn't seen a picture of him or any of his movie since Weekend at Bernies. He was much shorter and cuter in my dream. Around this time it's getting fuzzier, pretty much I gather we get inside the hospital and I have cheated on my hubby (we didn't actually do the deed but I felt that we had) and I have been in the hospital all day trying not to get home. But then I'm ready to go when I'm having trouble getting my daughter to go. Then he tells me, You can't leave I said Why not? / You have just been raped. / What! By who? / Me. (I swear I didn't have any sex in my dream). I end up leaving the hospital and he walks me to my car and gawd I end up giving him my phone number. Then I'm driving of into my pending doom... SWEAR! That's how it ended when I woke up!

This dream felt so real that when I woke up I actully looked around to see where I was.. crazy! I have no idea where this dream came from..Well, some parts I do get, like me looking for my friend but I had stopped thinking of her maybe a week ago, and the whole rape discussion was when my hubby seen pamphlets on the desk and asked what they were and I had told him that a volunteer for the Rape Crisis Hotline was trying to get supporters to sign a petition and gave pamphlets about what to do in case you get raped. And that was the last discussion we had before going to bed. I know this is deep but man dreams are so insane!
