Liv likes my phone. She’s pretty handy with it too. She knows how to leave voice messages and take pics and apparently, so I’ve learned, she knows how to make videos too. She was looking at my phone this morning when she suddenly yelled “Eew! A booty!!” I was like, “Eh?” I took the phone in time to see a lil glimpse of a naked butt on the screen. I thought she must have filmed Sei or something because she likes to burst into the bathroom right as he’s getting in the shower. Um, no. Upon closer observation I figured out the big, wide, WHITE butt taking up the screen was mine. MY butt filmed for 6 SECONDS without my knowledge. SIX seconds y’all! WHEN did this happen? HOW did this happen?? I have no clue. I don’t even know WHY I was standing naked in my bathroom- with Liv. I have NO recollection of this incident. What if she sent it to someone? My big butt could be floating around the internet! It could star in the “Baby Got Back” remake video!! What do I do!?!!? Part of me is laughing and thinks it’s hilarious. Part of me is like, “Ew, is that what my butt looks like? Looks like I need to try some Phenphedrine! ” Another part is like “Cool, my legs aren’t at cottage cheesy as I thought…”  Such mixed emotions. I feel so violated.

Don’t forget to enter my blog header giveaway!! It ends tomorrow nite!!

First of all… let me remind y’all to go enter my giveaway for a new blog header by Stitchblade Designs. Go on… I’ll wait…

….

Ok thanks.   Today I am stepping back up on my SOAPBOX to discuss something. I’ve been SUPAH bugged all week because of a few groups I found on Facebook.  But they deserve a lot more than a Tad Award, so I’m just gonna gripe about them. The groups are called “F**k the Police.”  Except it didn’t have the **. Ok, seriously?? These groups are all about how police suck and how they should all die, etc… And what made me laugh is that most of the people commented where whining about getting a ticket. Um… Ok?? But the groups alone aren’t what got me. There were links people had posted to youtube to videos of police brutality.  Some of the videos were bad. I admit it: There are some total jacka$$es that are cops and they are on a total power trip. There are others that get caught up in the moment of getting a total BAD GUY off the street and they don’t follow correct procedures. Yes- crap like that happens. BUT IT IS RARE. More often than not you are only seeing one side of the story. But whatev. There was a comment a $&#^@*&^  on one of these videos that had me in tears. I’m sure y’all have noticed, but I LOVE my husband. I do. He is awesome. He’s my hero.   So when I read this comment, I lost it. This loser said, “Hey kids, do something with your life: KILL A COP.  Oh, and make sure it’s one with a family.”  Speech.less. I know the person who wrote that was an absolute idiot, but still. SERIOUSLY!!?!???  Sei told me “Don’t let it get to you.” Um, ok. So… I’ve done what I can. I joined a few groups on FB like “Remove F**k the Police from Facebook” and reported a few of those bad pages, etc… Idk if it’ll do anything, but atleast I feel like I did something. “Don’t let it get to you.” PFFT! Too late.

I am now stepping off my SOAPBOX and opening the floor to you.  What has REALLY been bugging you lately??  Step on up on the soapbox and get it off your chest.

Soooo…??!?!?? What do you think??? Does my blog  just look SUPER RAD or what???  Brandy, over at Stitchblade Designs is so talented. And PATIENT. I had to ask so many questions and can be really indecisive and obnoxious and she didn’t go insane (that I know of…)  You see my lil bald cop/Seiuli, at the top? Yes- the original pic had curly blonde hair & no badge.  My girl Brandy worked her magic and Wa-La, my man was bald with a badge, just like in real life.  And the chick had black hair. Niiiice. Does the blog  just capture ME or what???

You MUST, MUST, MUST go check out her blog at Not So Average Mama and visit Stitchblade Designs to have her do your blog or other website. She’s awesome.

Oh, oh, oh and stay tuned because next week I will be announcing an awesome GIVEAWAY that you won’t wanna miss.  It has to do with blogs…. and Stitchblade Designs… ooooh…. aaaaahhh….

• Tristan, Alec and Isabel are at the ex’s now. Let’s just hope there’s not a repeat of last summer.
• Sei and I went to dinner and a movie with my brother and SIL. Ok, DON’T see “Drag Me To Hell.” You will lose brain cells. I jumped a lot, but I think I laughed more than anything. A goat talked in it- if that helps you decide NOT to go see it. On a positive note, the “Mac” guy is in it. He’s cute.
• I have some major excitement coming up on my blog. I can hardly wait!!!! Visit Stitchblade Designs and Not So Average Mama for a clue. Not So Average Mama is also hosting another cool giveaway you should check out- especially if your child wears glasses!! Check it out HERE.
• Lakers are in the finals. I live with Sei- the Kobe fan. Gag. But I did read THIS and it made me feel a lil better. Please read some of the comments and take the poll!!
• I’ve been cutting carbs a lot and have lost a few pounds this week. I’ve been doing it without diet pills, but I’m not above using them. I wanna look good on vacation!!
• Taj found an old birdcage and naturally he has his pet FROG inside it. I love my Tajy.
• Speaking of Taj, he’s quite the swimmer. He’s been swimming floaty-less since last summer. This year he swims underwater a lot, which is cool but scares me at the same time. Here’s a short video of him. No looking at my husband.
