Insomniacs R Us

Insomnia is kicking my ass again. I need to figure out why I can't get any sleep at night.
I've tried everything in the book and then some. Nothing seems to work.

So I've been doing house work in the hopes that it would make me tired enough to get some sleep.

But I have just too much energy flowing through me. It's like I tapped into some kind of energy field and I can't stop buzzing.

I did three loads of laundry last night. I dusted, swept (vacuuming is too loud and I don't want to wake David because he has to work), mopped, cleaned the bathroom, found long lost dog toys that Lucy hid from Spunky, cleaned the refrigerator, and even baked four dozen cookies I had from the freezer that I made up two weeks ago. Shit! I even made a loaf of sour dough bread.

Then I decided to do some cooking for part of the week.  I made potato salad, meat balls for spaghetti, and even some fried chicken.

David woke up at 5am this morning to a clean house and some fine smells from the kitchen.

I accomplished a lot of things last night and I feel great from it. But doing all that shit never made me tired. I still feel energetic right now. So I guess I'll go outside an pull weeds and transplant some creeping phlox and sweet peas. 

Please don't worry about me. I'll hit that wall soon enough. It's been three nights without sleep so I'm guessing tonight I'll finally get some sound sleep, Goddess willing.  

Y'all have a magical day. 

Demotivational Monday

Funny Religious Shit

LOOK!!!

I got my garden crack in the mail.

YAY!!!

I know, I know. I usually post a joke or funny picture on Funny Friday. But I just had to share my wondrous bounty of garden crack with y'all this morning. David calls it garden porn. I thought about it and he was right.

The pictures are all set up to look so lush and perky. Some are probably photo shopped like crazy to cover imperfections in leaves and flower petals. And in some catalogs they draw garden arrangements! My gracious me! Meh. Like I care.

Anywho, I got these catalogs all in the mail yesterday evening and only got through half of them. I'll be busy most of the day running errands and I need to get my car washed because it got mudded in the last rain we had on Tuesday. 

But this evening I'll be salivating over the different things I want for my garden, knowing all too well they are out of my growing zone. I need to remember to bring a hand towel with me into the bedroom to wipe the drool. And a pen. I need a pen to mark what I want.

Casa de Loco News

I thought I'd let you all know what's been going on at Casa de Loco since Thursday last week.

I'm a little Zombiefied this morning after this past week's migraine so bear with me please. I think it had to do mostly with my little bout of insomnia that hit me on Friday night. Lack of sleep brings them on like clock work.

So, Thursday afternoon David came home for lunch and stayed home. In fact, since it was an Easter weekend, he stayed home until Tuesday. Lucky me. Maybe that's why I had the migraine, who the fuck knows, except he drove me completely insane most of the weekend.

Well I was in for four and a half days of nothing but Trash TV which is basically Jerry and Maury and Reality shows all day long.

The assumed torture was short lived though. I made him go to Home Desperate to get some compost and a bottle of Bloom n' Feed for the garden. He brought home a new sprinkler something like twenty packs of morning glory seeds, like I need that many, and a new shovel to beat him with.

I told him I was going out to spread the rose food and other fertilizers for the various flowers I have in the garden. Somehow that lit a fire under his ass because he was all like "let me do that, you just tell me where." That was the end of Jerry and Maury.

So he was like spreading around the compost and fertilizer and shit while I was soaking some of the morning glory seeds in the kitchen so I could plant them on Friday morning. Next thing I know he comes walking in the house tracking shit all over the livingroom floor, into the kitchen and asked me what I was doing. I said I was putting the seeds in to soak so they would germinate faster and why the fuck didn't he clean his shoes off before coming into the house.

Daydream #One: Beat him into a bloody pulp with new shovel. Put body in double plastic bags. Clean shovel and surrounding crime scene with peroxide to eliminate the blood. Take shovel back to Home Desperate for refund. Pocket the money. Take road trip to somewhere in West Texas to dump body in shallow desert grave in the middle of no where. Don't forget to bring the puppies for fun companionship on trip. 

So, he needed to go back to Home Desperate to get more compost for the lawn. He miscalculated the amount needed. Forty minutes later he comes back with the compost and a rake and a post digger  like we need one. He needed the rake because the old one was OLD.

Daydream #Two: Take husband's lifeless body to wooded area. Dig deep hole and put body into hole. Put on gas mask and long rubber apron. Pour Hydrochloric Acid over body until completely dissolved. Cover with compost husband bought. Leave puppies home. They talk entirely way too much.

Anywho, I left him too his lawn and gardening fun while I watched some Walking Dead reruns. I LOVE The Walking Dead. I had set up the DVR to tape TWD this whole week so I'd have three seasons worth of it to watch when I feel withdrawal symptoms coming on.

The season finale is on Sunday night. SHIT! The 4th season won't be on til October. SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! Long time to wait for more Zombie action.

Then I found out The Game of Thrones was repeating all of season two on HBO on Sunday. We don't have HBO because David says it's not worth it.  Also that HBO was free on cable this whole weekend. Oh Fuck Me Now! I was finally going to see GoT and maybe a couple of other shows. YES! I was so hoping to see GoT third season opener and I got to see it!

David was happy about The Walking Dead but not The Game of Thrones. He was all like, "what is it, a game you watch someone play?" In a way yes, yes it is. I enticed him even further by telling him there's sex and violence. He loves that stuff. He's a guy. So he watched GoT and loved it, of coarse.

Well :

• I got to see my two favorite shows. 
• David only tortured me for two days until Game of Thrones came on. 
• He's thinking of getting HBO now. 
• He did the gardening like I wanted him to do. 
• I was hiding from any bit of light on Monday until I made David get my sunglasses from the car.
• David went back to work on Tuesday YAY!

Now my migraine is gone and I'm starting to feel better. I wonder what this weekend is going to bring. I'm thinking if he ever decides to retire my life is pretty well fucked.

Wet Dog Wednesday

Nailed It !

I found this funny site where these ladies try to recreate a Pinterest craft of some sort according to the directions given in the Pinterest pin. I was laughing so hard because of all the failures that were posted.

Really! You have to go see this shit for yourself on Craftfail.com. Here are a few of the things I saw. Oh and they published a book on their failures too. So please go check it out.

I Gotta Get Me One O' These!

I was in a killer mood today after watching a full week of The Walking Dead.  I found some very cool items for the kitchen, bath, and a cool bag to carry around. 

I found this cool looking Zombie Survival  Messenger Bag that's available at Amazon.com

I found this 8' Stainless Steel Chef's Knife at this cool site - 

http://www.perpetualkid.com/evidence-chef-s-knife.aspx 

It has a fired on food safe bloody look and evidence tag. Soooo cool!

I found this bloody kitchen apron at Amazon.com It goes well with the knife above.

All the Bloody Bathroom products below are found at Amazon.com 

Bloody bathmat

Okay - contrary to what you may have seen at other places this mat does not turn blood red when it gets wet from your foot prints. Some sites and catalogs say this to just sell the item.

One of two different bloody looking bath curtains at Amazon.com

This hand towel looks so cool hanging up next to the shower curtain

Don't forget, you just have to have the Blood Bag Type O Positive to hang in the shower
