I Felt Sorry Till She Opened Her Mouth

Monday night I caught last few minutes of Dancing with the Stars.....right when Kate Gosselin and Tony Dovolani took the stage.

What a train wreck that was. She was so awkward and didn't know her steps. Poor Tony kept trying to keep them in it. I actually felt sorry for her. I don't think I saw anybody do a worse job on DWTS then our "favorite" turn reality star mother.

I am not a fan of Kate Gosselin by any means and I still think she turned her husband into an insecure little frat boy with her constant nagging, putting him down and critiquing in front of cameras for millions to see. I bet the poor dude was a laughing stock of the neighborhood after couple of episodes.

Last night I felt so sorry for the uncoordinated and awkward Kate especially when Bruno Toniloli said: "I know you are not a performer, but you go through the motion like a Stepford Wife".....OUCH.....that gotta hurt.

I felt sorry for her......till she opened her mouth....Kate, Kate, Kate.....do you listen to yourself.....do you realize how dumb you sound? Enough with the marriage analogy....we all know you blew it.....get over it.....your marriage is gone so stop talking about it any chance you get.Move on...

Then I saw the part where they showed Kate and Tony learning their routine.

Was Tony the first professional dance partner that proclaimed "I QUIT" in a history of DWTS? I have to check on that, but I am sure he was.

Poor Tony, my heart goes out to you. You didn't deserve to be paired up with that full-of-herself, down-talking to everyone know-it-all. I bet you weren't prepared for someone who has no idea about dancing to tell you how to teach dance.

What an ungrateful little dot-dot-dot she is!!!

I am so sorry that you have a contract and you couldn't quit for real, but hang in there. Hopefully you'll be voted off soon and then you can forget you ever met her....I know it will be hard, but you can do it. Maybe you can contact Jon and see if there is a support group for people who's lives were touched by Kate.

I enjoyed how Kate tried to explain her little blow-up when asked after their performance: "It was merely 30 seconds of a great week of practicing".

Yes, I am sure it was.....that's why Tony took off his mike, dropped it on the floor and walked away saying I QUIT.

Yes, it was merely 30 seconds of you behaving like a spoiled little brat who's use to get her way no matter what.

Welcome back, Kate. We missed you NOT and your behaviour.

Love her or hate her I have a feeling that Kate Gosselin is here to stay. She got the taste of the lime-light and she will do just about anything to stay in it.

I just wish they would put her in her own show so I have a choice to watch her or not.Putting her in my favorite shows is NOT COOL. Do you hear me TV people? It's so not cool.

BTW, I just read an article and in the comments Kate was called an "American Hero".

I would like to know how you feel about that?

To me it's very insulting to actual "American Heroes", but that's just an opinion of me little Canadian.

Post It Note Tuesday - So Random

It's Tuesday and once again I am joining Post It Note Tuesday with SupahMommy.

This week Post It Notes are a collection of my totally random thoughts.Just being weird myself.

You Don't Know Jack......Yet

I am back my dear friends and I missed most of you.....

Why "most" of you, you ask ?

Well, while I took 3 days off from blogging and visiting to make some order in my life and celebrate my son becoming a teenager I lost 35 followers....OUCH.....35.....really?

That is freaking amazing.

I though I would be more upset, but the truth is.....I am fine. I know those followers were just bloggers who followed me not because of me and what I bring to this wonderful blog world. They followed me just to get their numbers up.

All I have to say to all of them is screw you that I hope they will find what they are looking for and please, don't come back. Now, I have to figure out who they are and return the favor....cause that's how I roll.

I am a firm believer in QUALITY over quantity.

I also want to thank all of my wonderful friends for the supportive and encouraging emails and tweets I received over the weekend. That's why I love you all.

With that said and my little rant is over maybe I am upset a bit let's move on.

Yesterday my handsome Hormone Boy turned into a teenager.

It was bittersweet because Mr.Misery couldn't make it home, but I think the puppy made it better.

Yes, as much as I was fighting against getting a new puppy I lost.

My sister surprised my boys with a 9 week old Schnoodle puppy called Jack. It took me about 3 seconds to fall in love. I am a sucker for puppies and glutton for punishment at the same time.

I was not looking forward the sleepless nights and accidents in a house. I gave in after I saw the happiness on my boys faces.

As a family we've been through very tough times in last 17 months and my boys really stepped up to challenges we've been facing without complaining so it was my turn to show them how proud of them we are.

So Jack is here to stay especially since he's been making my job of training a puppy much easier.

It's been almost a week since Jack became part of our family and he's been a prince.

Every night he goes to sleep in his kennel at 10pm without a whimper. He stays quiet till 6am when he hears my alarm clock to go off and let's me know it's time....

So far there was only 2 accidents in a house and they were my fault for not paying attention to him letting me know "it's time".

The best part is the love and excitement he shows to all of us.

Every morning he must visit both boys and spend few minutes with them in their beds.

When they come home from school he is so excited that I am waiting for his tail to come off.

The best part about Jack is.........I don't feel like a weirdo not as much when I am talking to myself while blogging. He's right there under my chair......Right, Jack?

See, it works. All I have to do is to throw the word Jack in once in a while and I am no longer neighborhood freak crazy lady talking to herself .

I should have gotten a puppy long time ago.

I have to go now and figure out what other things I can blame on Jack. The possibilities are endless.

"I didn't eat your donut, LP. Jack did it." Bad dog Jack....bad dog!

Taking few days off to deal with life

I will be taking few days off to deal with certain things that need my immediate attention and hopefully I will be back by Monday....love you all, but things need to be done and I need some rest as well.

This weekend is Hormone's Boy 13th Birthday so I have to get ready for the celebration of my first born becoming a teen. He received his first present form my sister 2 days ago and he is beside himself.

Of course his present gave me whole lot of work, but my son is happy and that's all that matters.

I am sure you are wondering what am I talking about.......I am a proud mommy of 9 week old designer Schnoodle puppy called JACK. HB has been asking for a puppy since his beloved Soda died over a year ago and Mr.Misery decided it was time and allowed my sis to give my son the gift that is taking all of my free time right now.

I also need to take few days off and fix all the damages that Beastie Boys caused over the spring break.....one of them being a broken front windshield on my new car and boy-made train track on my new hardwood floor right across my living room.

Bad things come in threes you say? How about the hole in my wall caused by ripping the curtain rod out of the wall while pulling on the drapes when playing hide and seek in my living room.

So I have to go and take care of the business since Mr.Misery is on the road again trying to earn money for food to fix all the damages caused by the wrecking crew I call Beastie Boys.

When I come back I will share with you pictures of Jack because he's just so darn cute.

Little Peanut Traveling Show

The two week Spring break is finally over and all the boys are back at school.

To be honest with you, I don't know how I survived those two weeks. I did lose little bit of  sanity in the process and some items that I had fondness for are no longer with us.

The second week was especially trying with Hormone Boy abandoning the sinking ship hitting the road with Mr.Misery and leaving me alone with Little Peanut and devil spawns Beastie Boys.

Little Peanut took it upon himself to be the man of the house. It was so cute. He kept walking around all stressed out and trying to keep the Beastie Boys in line with no luck.

Courtesy of Google Images

For those who are new to my blog the Beastie Boys are my sister's boys I take care off. She's a single mom and works long hours so she needs all the help she can get. Beastie Boy K is 7 years old (9 days older then Little Peanut) and Beastie Boy C is 5 years old.

This is a conversation (more like dialog) I overheard towards the end of the week when LP was ready to move out.

LP: What is wrong with you two? Why can't you just listen? Don't you understand the words that come out of my mouth? How hard it is to behave for just some minutes?

Beastie Boys: Lalalalala.....Hahahahaha....bum.....crush....hahahaha.....bang......(lamp flies off the end table)

LP: Now look what you done. My mom will lose it now for sure.

Beastie Boys: Sorry

LP:You are always SORRY.Just sit down and let me talk when she comes in.....and then say you're sorry.

LP: Do you behave like this at home? Your poor mother, no wonder she needs wine (apparently overheard a conversation between me and sis).

After listening to this I couldn't even be mad about my broken lamp. My little man was trying so hard to keep me sane.Bless his little heart.

Courtesy of Google Images

Thursday night after the boys left we collapsed on the couch and LP looks at me with his stressed out look:

LP: The horror is almost over....

Me: What horror?

LP: Tomorrow is the last day of Beastie Boys coming over and then we can distress over the weekend. Just you and me. Wouldn't that be nice, mommy?

Me: Yes, LP that would be lovely.

Hold On Tight It Will Be a Bumpy Ride

My oldest son is turning 13 this Sunday.

Yes, in 7 short days I will become a mom of a teenage boy.

HB has been torturing preparing me for this day last few months. His ever changing attitudes, his " I Am So Cool" walk, his squeaky voice, his daily use of Proactiv and all those little things that make him a TEEN.

Am I ready? NO! Are any of us ever ready to let our wonderful sweet children turn into obnoxious know it all wanna-be adults?

Yes, I am prepared for few years of "not liking" my son on certain days. I am fine with that.

I know that the day will come that he turns into an adult and we will like each other again.

For now I will deal with moods, attitudes, being accused of not understanding,meltdowns, first love, heartbreaks, peer pressure.

I will be there to guide from distance after all I am still the Puppet Master dance puppet,dance.

I will be there to listen and hug tight.

I will be there to watch my baby boy become a strong, smart, handsome, caring and giving MAN.

This brings me to a conversation I had with with some of my friends recently.

Does it make you a hypocrite to tell your children not to do things you have done or punish them for it without confessing and explaining why it was wrong? Why you wish you would listen to your parents?

Most of my friends including Mr. Misery did things in their youth they wish they haven't and things they are not very proud of. Some of them were illegal things, some were nasty things and some were just plain stupid what were you thinking and you should thank your lucky stars you are still alive things.

What do you do?

You want to protect your kids from making the same mistakes and from getting hurt.At the same time you don't want your kids to know the whole truth for two reasons.

First, they don't need any more ideas on how to be stupid and irresponsible.

Second, you don't want them to look at you differently because you used to be stupid and irresponsible.

You can see my dilema.

Mr. Misery was not the best boy growing up and he did some things that he's not proud of. He also did lots of things  stupid and irresponsible  he's  very proud of and likes to brag about to his friends....yes, we were so COOL back then. Things that HB would get grounded for till he's 50.

As for myself  I always though I was so boring and so uncool. I was the "good girl".

I never smoked once for 2 weeks trying to be cool , I never got drunk, I never used or tried any drugs, I never partied hard, I didn't swear, I didn't do anything fun and exciting to put my life in danger.

I was boring and apparently without a life.

Maybe I missed out on lots of experiences and fun, but it was all worth it. I didn't know it then, but now life is making it up to me.......I can punish my sons without any guilt or double standards.....Oh, yeah victory is mine..who's uncool now?

As for Mr.Misery.......I wouldn't wanna be in his shoes for next few years and knowing his past we need to keep few stupid and irresponsible things on down-low.Luckily, he turned out just fine.

Looks like I will be the bad cop in this household for next few years.

Btw, I found my groove did few stupid things few years ago and I can safely say I am one COOL mom now.

So, hold on tight it will be a bumpy ride.

There Are Many Layers To This Onion

It's funny I've been blogging for almost 6 months now and there is still so many things you don't know about me.

I share little bits and pieces of my life with you almost everyday, but I am a very strange and weird complex individual.

I am like an onion with many, many layers. One weirder then the other.I might make you cry here and there while peeling the layers, but at the end it will be worth it. 

Today I decided to share with you another layer of me.....love of music.....in particular JAZZ.

Are you surprised? I bet you didn't take me for Jazz lover, did you?

Anyway, there are two fantastic, awesome and talented Jazz singers I absolutely adore and listen to almost every single day.

They are both fellow Canadians and if you are not a Jazz lover these two just might to change your mind.

First is Diana Krall.

Diana Krall is not only fellow Canadian she's also a fellow British Columbian. 

I've been fan of Diana since mid 90' when she released her first album. Her voice, her down-to-earth personality makes her the complete package. I've seen Diana Krall perform Live few times and each time it was an unforgettable show.

Diana Krall is married to Elvis Costello another talented musician and a favorite of Mr. Misery.

This is one of my all time favorite songs - The Look Of Love

Second is Matt Dusk.

Matt Dusk in another talented Canadian and not bad to look at either. I've been following Matt since his appearance on Reality TV Show "Casino" boo for whoever cancelled it  in 2003 where he became an in-house entertainer at the Golden Nugget Casino.I never had a change to see him Live as by the time I made it to Vegas he was no longer there.

This is one of my favorite songs - All About Me.





Hope you enjoyed peeling another layer of Who or What is Bibi.

Post It Note Tuesday - Totally Random Thoughts

It's Tuesday and once again I am joining Post It Note Tuesday with SupahMommy.

This week Post It Notes are a collection of my totally random thoughts.Just being weird myself.

What Would You Do If.......?

Last night I came across an article:

Man waits 5 months to collect $200M prize.

According to this article a carpenter from Virginia won $200million in Mega Millions Lottery on October 16th, 2009.

For 5 months he was living with secret of being an overnight millionaire.He took all this time to consult with legal and financial advisers on ways how to invest his new found fortune.He waited 5 months to CLAIM his prize.

I do applaud his self-control and his smart thinking, but how did he do that? How was he able to hide being a millionaire from people around him for 5 months? How was he able to sleep?

 Courtesy of Google Images

I would be up day and night thinking about something happening to my unclaimed ticket.

I asked myself a question......what would I do if......?

I know I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret for 5 minutes months.

I would however take few minutes days to totally freak out think about it and absorb it completely. Then I would change my phone number and get an iPhone at the same time, emails and cancel my useless waste of time Facebook.

After that I would make a list of top 10 things I want to do with the money like roll around in it naked and list of people I want to help along the way and people I want to piss off.

One thing I know for sure.......I would try hard to throw myself a parade keep it on the down low take out a full page ad in local paper  ....not a secret per say, but I wouldn't go around and brag about it without megaphone.

You might say: "Sure, you wouldn't".

I wouldn't because that's totally not me and believe it or not I already though about it many, many times especially the naked part and pissing people off part.....now I just need to buy that WINNING TICKET.

Courtesy of Google Images

What would you do if......?

Would you be able to keep it a secret?

Would you want to keep it a secret?

Do you have a secret won't be anymore fantasy involving you and your money? Please, say yes so I don't look like a complete lunatic over here.

If you don't I was just kidding about the naked part.

Just a gentle reminder to enter my GIVEAWAY that ends next week.

Le Creuset 6-Quart Stock Pot

Happy Birthday Mr. Misery

I was young (22), full of ambitions and between boyfriends. My married friend D insisted on throwing me a birthday party.

Sure, I had nothing better to do.

As I walked in I was introduced to HIM. My friend's hubs best friend. Nice guy, but so not my type.

The dude was OLD (33) and I was so out of his league.

Uptown girl meets downtown boy kind of thing.

All night we joked, we laughed, we were so freaking uncomfortable......then.....he asked me out.

Not a big deal, just a party on his bosses yacht....NO BIG DEAL.....really?

I hesitated, but my mom taught me to be polite. She also taught me not to talk to strangers, yet I did and now I found myself in a pickle.

How do I turn down this sweet old dude who's trying so hard just to go out on ONE date....and it's not even a REAL DATE.

Leave it to D to come with a plan.

"Go to the party. He works with lots of young and single good looking guys. Look around and make a connection with one of them".

She was such a great calculated, cool hearted  gal. We are no longer friends for the obvious reasons.

I AGREED to go with him.

He was so happy and I felt so sick to my stomach. Why am I doing this? I am so gonna hurt this nice old dude. What's wrong with me?

Few days later he picked me up all dressed up and holding single red rose......sure make me feel like the worst bitch woman on the planet.

The drive to the Yacht club was very uncomfortable and quiet.

The cruise lasted forever at least in my head.

Did I break his heart and did I hook up with someone else? NO

I couldn't do it. I could not bring myself to break this sweet old dude's heart. I knew I had no desire seeing him romantically , but I though maybe we can be friends. He was very sweet.

When he dropped me at home I don't think his car came to a full stop before I leaped out and run for the front door. I did not look back......

Next two months I tried so hard to avoid him. No such luck. Every time I went over to D's house he was there.

Did I mentioned D lived right next door?

Somehow he saw something in me that I didn't even know was there. He kept slowly pursuing me and he grew on me. 

Eventually I agreed to a real DATE.

Two months later we were engaged. Eight months later in May 1993 we were married.

The sweet old dude suddenly changed into the LOVE OF MY LIFE the man who stole my heart and the man you know as Mr.Misery.

He's the sweetest man that I ever met. He has the biggest heart and I  wonder every single day "How did I get so lucky"?

He's been with me through hard times and good times. He always lifted me up when I fell. He was there when I needed someone to yell at for no reason.

He was there for my sister when she needed his help and protection from drug addicted alcoholic husband.

He was there for my father and helped him to buy his first restaurant so he can follow his dreams.

He was there for me through four year of fertility drugs and massive weight gain.I still remember the smile on his face when I told him we're having a baby.

He was there holding me tight when our baby boy was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes.

He's always there.....that's the kind of man he is. HE IS ALWAYS THERE for everybody.

He's the only man I ever met that has NO SELFISH bone in his body.

He would go hungry and cold just to make sure we have everything we need and MORE. He would work hard day and night to provide for us.

He never raises his voice at me. He never puts me down. He never disrespects me in any way.

I am his PRINCESS. I am his GODDESS and he makes sure I know that everyday.

He's sad when I don't believe in myself. He's worried when our boys are sick. 

He puts up with my temper. He puts up with my ever changing moods. He puts up with my negativity.

He puts up with A LOT.

He is my best friend. He's the best husband. He's the best father. He's the most wonderful, caring and loving man I ever met.

I love him more today then I loved him yesterday.

I thank my lucky stars that he picked me.....the girl who didn't realize that he was OUT OF HER league.

       HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. MISERY

How To Embarass Your Mom In Public

The Spring Break started few days ago and my poor Little Peanut started his first Monday off with fever and awful cough. I sure hope he will get better soon and I do hope he won't pass this illness onto the Beastie Boys.

I don't know what brought this illness onto my sweet child. Maybe it was the 3 day hockey tournament with not feeling up to snuff to begin with. There was no signs of it Sunday night and BANG Monday morning my Peanut was ill.

Oh, yeah....what mother takes pictures of her sick child? A blogger mom that's WHO. Am I proud of it? YOU BET!

It's so sad, but my kids are so used to me snapping questionable pictures of them and our surrounding that it doesn't even face them anymore.

The other day we stopped at Pizza Hut for lunch.

We were seated in a booth by the window facing the main street. Everything was going great. Everyone was enjoying their pizza. The place was pretty packed with lunch crowd.

Suddenly......Little Peanut yells screams on top of his lungs out:

"Mommy, mommy where's your camera.You gotta take picture of this. Check out that crazy guy on the sidewalk riding his bike while trying to push the shopping buggy with his HUGE dog in it. That is hilarious. You gotta put that on your BLOG!!!"

Did everyone heard that? You bet!

Was I uncomfortable as everyone turned to see who the psycho blogger is? You got it!

Did I turn many shades of RED ? You betcha!

Am I ever eating at Pizza Hut again? Not on your life!

Did I take the picture? No, I forgot my camera at home.Darn!

Would I take the picture? You know it ! I had nothing else to lose. My dignity was gone anyway.

Inquiring minds me wants to know......

What was the last time your child embarrassed you in public?

Come on, let it out. Share with me. I won't tell.

Things are looking UP

Things are looking up!

The weather is beautiful and Spring has Sprung around here. Everybody is feeling uplifted and in better spirits.

I am not going to be witty, spunky or sarcastic in today's post. I could be I suppose if I really wanted to, but I don't.

Today I want to sum up and explain last two weeks of my half-a** blogging and spreading the love.

After that I will be officially back and writing the posts you seem to enjoy so much. For the life of me I don't know why, but apparently I am way funnier and more interesting in the World Wide Web then I am in a real life (thank you for that)....go figure, eh?

So let's get on with it. My last two weeks.

The hockey is over........we spent last 3 days at a hockey tournament and wrapping things up. We said goodbye to the cold and stinky hockey arena till September.

I AM FREE......well, till April 3oth when the soccer starts, but that is not near as time and money consuming as hockey.

Over the weekend the problems with my ISP and Google were resolved. We still don't know what and who happened. Neither Google or our ISP Telus is telling us anything, but bottom line is....my blogger is working again.....I can visit and comment again......I can post without getting Access Denied.......and you can access my blogs and my giveaway through any links without seeing the message FORBIDDEN. It was the worst 4 days of my life. Sad, I know....

Yes, things are looking up...

For last two weeks I've been working on a project with my two sons you all know as Little Peanut and Hormone Boy. We've been thinking what can we do together as a family to make little extra money and have fun while doing it.

We though and we though and we though......

.......till we came up with idea and our little online store The Gifts From The Peanut Gallery was born.



If you are looking for funny T-shirts, hats, clothing or gifts stop by and check out our designs.

We have so much fun coming up with new designs every week and we hope people will have fun wearing them.

So there you have it folks.

I AM BACK.....

Hockey's over, blogger is working, store is up and running and Things Are Looking Up.


One More Thing:

Aloha Friday & Friday Follow

Friday is finally here. What a week I'll tell you.

I am still having some issues with Blogger and my ISP Telus as many bloggers in British Columbia and some other parts of Canada somehow connected to Telus.

Something or someone happened Wednesday after 10pm PST and many of us are not able to get into our blogger dashboards or blogs. Sometimes we receive FORBIDDEN Access Denied message then we get Taking to Long To Respond - Timed out message and sometimes we can get in for few minutes and manage to post a quick post or give couple of comments.Our ISP keep telling us that Blogger for some reason is blocking our IP addresses and Blogger doesn't give a flying rat's a** seem to be doing anything or responding. It is very frustrating.

I sure hope this will get resolved soon.

I started my first GIVEAWAY yesterday in the middle of it all. Please, if the link to my giveaway doesn't work don't give up and come back to enter.

So full of frustration I decided to take it easy get drunk this Friday and join An Island Life for ALOHA FRIDAY.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that everybody takes it easy and looks forward to the weekend.
