You ever wake up and just want to growl? I do. Like today. I get the most pleasant wake up a person could ask for, no rude alarm clock or anything like that it’s the sweet face of dear hubby in the mornings waking me up. That’s wonderful.

However, these last two nights of sleep have been particularly good and restful, where I sleep through the night and don’t wake up at all. Nights like these are rare for me, I wake up constantly through the night usually. So when I get to rest this way when it’s time to wake up, it’s really hard for me not to go back to that place of no bills, worries or problem that we all love. Sleep is so comforting.

But damned if these paychecks aren’t important too, so I had to get up today and so did you and that’s what led you here, I’m part of your routine. (I’m so digging that by the way, you know who you are!)

But the meat of this contest is this…that look you get in the morning, when you’d rather not deal with anything and you look like the covers are the only thing you want on you, that snapshot of your face (or your loved ones) might win you $50 smackeroonies.

Oh yeah. I want the mad face, grumpy face, no caffeine yet face. The one that makes people who don’t know you laugh and realize we are all human, like this one of @DoubleAgentGirl (a bud from Twitter):

Or this one of Khalik Sheikh Mohammed when he was arrested in the middle of the night by Americans for his terrorist activities:

Sucks to be him doesn’t it? LOL, couldn’t help but share that photo, I can hear a thick Arabic accent saying, “I don’t do mornings!”, ROFLMAO!

There’s been endless speculation about DoubleAgentGirl’s involvement in the capture of this terrorist however, our formal statement is that we have no statement.

So here’s how it’s gonna play out, you guys are going to submit your photos that follow the theme “I Don’t Do Mornings”, each Friday (8-29, 9-5, 9-12) for three weeks I’m putting the photos submitted up for a vote from the readers on which picture best fits that caption, ideally each week there will be one clear winner. Each Friday’s winner will be held over for the fourth week of voting and will get a mention here as well as the Winner of the Week and gain entry to my High Profile BlogRoll for a whole month!

In the fourth week, on September 19th we will hold the voting for the ultimate winner of the three Winners of the Week. That winner will win the $50 Grand Prize Gift Card!

You can submit the photos to MouthyGirl@Gmail.com.

Get started now the first drawing is this Friday!

Today we’re having a Motley Crue sponsored Girlfriday - today my Dad had his heart shocked because he had an irregular heart beat, this is their way of trying to get it to beat the right way again. My Dad was diving in Cozumel in 1999 and died when he tried to come up to quickly…they brought him back thankfully but since that time he has had an irregular heart beat. His stroke a month ago made that something he could no longer do nothing about. So since this is the second time he’s been kickstarted…

I miss being a kid and thinking that Dad would never go anywhere. Thinking that he was superman and that he could do anything. I still think he can do anything, but I know now that he’s not superman and he is but a mere mortal. That scares me to think about so I avoid it when I can.

So the procedure was successful, they stopped his heart and then started it up again and it started the right way. There’s a lot he has to do to maintain that, but he’ll do it.

I know my Dad never gets on the internet, and when he does get on, my website is the last thing on his mind….but regardless, here’s a song to you Dad.

Facing mortality is such a draining thing to do.

I’ve been tagged with a meme by LilMomThatCould, a blog that you definitely want to check out. You’ll be glad you did.

On to the meme, which if I didn’t mention it before is a sort of chain letter adapted for the internet. LilMomThatCould posted this same one, which I linked to above and tagged me to do the same meme. Given the opportunity to tell you something odd about myself is something I am delighted to do! I see these oddities all the time, so it won’t be hard to give up five of them. Naturally I pick myself apart, but I’m glad I have people around who love me despite them.

Here are the Rules:

1. Link the person who tagged you.

2. Mention the rules on your blog.

3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks you possess.

4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.

5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

Okay…so six unspectacular quirks that I possess.

1. I hate my sheets to be exposed so I make my bed everyday. I have two cats, and I do not cotton to the idea of having kitty hair in my bedsheets, much as I love the little money sucks, I don’t have any desire to share my sleeping space with their hair. So I make the bed everyday. And we lock them out of the bedroom while we’re gone. They don’t need to get the idea they have the run of the house. Said kitties featured below, first we have Punk (very aptly named by the way) and then we have Rebound (whose nickname is SpeedBump for obvious reasons).

2. A second oddball quirk…I hate a full sink. And if that means I have to stack dirty dishes neatly beside the sink, that’s what that means. Yes I know it’s easier just to wash them…but sometimes I don’t want to take the time to do that. Which takes me to number 3.

3. I have to wash my dishes before I wash my dishes. Yeah, no rinsing and sticking them in and winging it for me, oh no. So when my dishes come out with crap on them, you know I’m pissed off! I know they didn’t go in there like that! I used to hear when I was a kid, “the dishwasher is NOT a garbage disposal!” I got the point.

4. I hate trash anywhere but in the trash can, and I hate it there too. I hate trash. Further, I think that should be a man’s job, every time. I don’t think women should have to deal with that at all. We’re expected to smell good, look pretty and give you hot sex….ahem, step with the trash yo.

5. I’m outta numbers but not quirks….hmmm….maybe you guys will be lucky enough to hear about more again later. Okay…last but not least quirk… I think hairy people are gross. Ew Ew Ew. When a person is hairy, then has the nerve to wear shorts, um could we cover that up please? I could puke, really. Icky Icky Yuck!

So that’s my five, now I gotta figure out who I’m gonna tag. So of course I’m going to pick on the quirkiest people I know in the blogosphere.

We’ll start with tagging Dan who was reading Sabrina’s Money Matters back when I was getting my blogging feet wet. Tag you’re it Dan! I know what that means and you’re on! Then I’m tagging Sara who wrote about unfortunate incidents the same week I had one, so I couldn’t help it, and I love her blog, who couldn’t use a little lesson in Simplicity?

I don’t know if CardioGirl will participate, but I hope so, she always makes me laugh. Always. I must tag JD, we both do things, but she blogs about it, you’ll love her and her quirks!

Last but not least is a new blog I’m reading FatGrrl. I love it. Nuff said, you must check it out. I have another one I’m reading, but not gonna divulge that gem yet. We’ll just say FatGrrl led me there.

So tag peeps! You’re it!

** Update: As I reread this post I realized that between the title and the end I forgot I owed you six quirks…um not five. I guess I forgot how to count. So sixth quirk, sometimes my brain will be going through thought processes faster than my brain can keep up and I lose things in the process….like how many quirks I was supposed to tell you about. It’s frustrating, some might call this ADD, I might too, but I don’t like labels.

Can I borrow someone’s mojo today? Mine’s not working, I think she stayed home because as soon as I left my apartment this morning I knew my mojo had left me.

I walked outside, locked the door. Turned and took the first two of thirty steps to the ground floor and promptly lost my balance, my footing and my pride. All. At. Once.

MouthyGirl ate it. Oh yes, two steps down and my feet didn’t do as I said, instead they gave out and came right out from under me, or should I say went too far under me and left me hurling forward with nothing but my arms to save me.

Thankfully. They did. I have a gash on my shin and scrape marks on my cute shoes and worse I’m going to have a ginormous bruise on my hand. Very ladylike.

I’m trying not to let this ruin my day. But what’s worse and adds insult to injury is that my neighbor saw. me. fall. It’s not so bad when nobody sees you, that is much easier to laugh off. But now my neighbor has a story to tell at work - about me! Falling!

Ugh.

Here’s a link to the actual video but Universal won’t let you embed their videos, so you got a cheezy one, sorry.

Yes, it’s okay to laugh about me falling. Even get a visual, but if you laugh hysterically and get in trouble and you dare blame it on me - I’m going to have to hurt you.

But you get the point. Also, I have the idea for a new contest, but am drawing a blank on what you guys would want, so tell me what kind of prizes appeal to you for $50 or so and let me get some ideas. I want you to participate after all and what better way than to offer something you said you wanted?

This morning I’m up early at work, trying to get motivated to get a lot done this morning. Wanted to share one of my favorite songs that get me going…

Love all her music. She’s very sincere in all her music. I can appreciate that.

One of my favorite lines in this song…”I’m appreciating life I’m so glad that I’m fine!”

Amen Mary.

Hee hee. I was looking for a great Friday video to share with y’all and well. I found one. I got 1:17 into it and had to stop it to post it because I was so excited about it.

This group is called “The Darkness”. Here’s the video:

Now tell me something. Do they really pass for “The Darkness”? And what’s up with the dude with wings doing the Carlton Dance the whole time. The video started off pretty cool and I thought hey, this might be good. insert smilie. Then I started watching the video and like I said. I got 1:17 into it and had to stop it. That was hilarious! You think they took themselves seriously?

What a farce! Who let those guys have a video budget? Can you find me some wacky hilarious videos?

I recently read an article on MomLogic about women who live in sexless marriages because they hate sex. While I can’t imagine having that issue, I can understand the circumstances that can make that happen. But I also think that women should do whatever they can to overcome this issue because sex is an important part of a relationship, it re-enforces the bond and the love you share. Honestly I think sex is necessary to maintain a healthy relationship.

I can appreciate Anniversary Sex a little more because I enjoy sex and my hubby enjoys it and we know we have it pretty good. Not everyone is so fortunate and we realize that.

When I was in high school a song came out that I didn’t understand at the time. George Michael came out with “I Want Your Sex” and people were CRAZY about it. I didn’t get it. Now though, I do. And I agree.

There’s things that you guess
And things that you know
There’s boys you can trust
And girls that you don’t
There’s little things you hide
And little things that you show
Sometimes you think you’re gonna get it
But you don’t and that’s just the way it goes

I swear i won’t tease you
Won’t tell you no lies
I don’t need no bible
Just look in my eyes
I’ve waited so long baby
Now that we’re friends
Every man’s got his patience
And here’s where mine ends

I want your sex
I want you
I want your sex

It’s playing on my mind
It’s dancing on my soul
It’s taken so much time
So why don’t you just let me go
I’d really like to try
Oh i’d really love to know
When you tell me you’re gonna regret it
Then i tell you that i love you but you still say no!

I swear i won’t tease you
Won’t tell you no lies
I don’t need no bible
Just look in my eyes
I’ve waited so long baby
Out in the cold

I want your sex
I want your love
I want your.. Sex

It’s natural
It’s chemical (let’s do it)
It’s logical
Habitual (can we do it?)
It’s sensual
But most of all…
Sex is something we should do
Sex is something for me and you

Sex is natural - sex is good
Not everybody does it
But everybody should
Sex is natural - sex is fun
Sex is best when it’s… One on one
One on one

I’m not your father
I’m not your brother
Talk to your sister
I am a lover

C-c-c-c-come on

What’s your definition of dirty baby
What do you consider pornography
Don’t you know i love you till it hurts me baby
Don’t you think it’s time you had sex with me

What’s your definition of dirty baby
What do you call pornography
Don’t you know i love you till it hurts me baby
Don’t you think it’s time you had sex with me

Sex with me
Sex with me
Have sex with me

C-c-c-c-come on.

Who can’t love those lyrics. We’re all grown ups here.
You can tell what’s been on my mind, eh? LOL Here’s the video for all my friends who love a good show. Enjoy!
