(If you get a chance remember to check out my current blog love shout outs this week…great tips and fun reads.)
10.) The fact that I can’t afford to buy myself a hot pink cottage and matching tractor on Farmville.
9.) The fact that after 2,432 requests I finally got sucked into that stupid Facebook game and now take to fertilizing crops and pining for tractors during my down time when I should be doing more productive things like tweeting about the condition of my hair.
8.) The fact that Marcy, my New York City Kitty, is STILL in the Kent animal shelter after all this time. PLEASE New Yorkans…SOMEBODY adopt that poor kitty. For crying out loud I already PAID her adoption fees!!
7.) Losing the cable that we definitely were not stealing because I don’t do bad things like accept free cable when it just so happens our house might have been receiving it. (Dear Bravo E! MTV and VHI, my life has not been the same without you. Please come back soon. Kisses.)
6.) Snot.
5.) Sinking my teeth into a sandwich I spent four minutes creating only to see a giant spot of mold staring back at me from the other side of said sandwich.
4.) The fact that I have to work when I’d rather just be a millionaire and spend my mornings dropping kids off at montessori school and my afternoons getting my hair done.
3.) Unidentifiable stenches that seem to permeate the entire house but cannot be located…if I were a bet’in woman I’d say SOMEONE has hidden a sippy cup full of rotten milk around here somewhere. Paaaaat????
2.) The fact that this post has no pictures on it.
1.) The fact that my camera. is. LOST! I couldn’t handle it before and I can’t handle it now….my brain is officially consumed with the whereabouts of my beloved and barely working camera. Come home to me soon baby.

Your camera is lost?! That’s terrible! =/

Oh my, what a long list you have. All those things would make me want to go WAAAA too! So sad your kitty hasn’t been adopted yet, but at least it’s safe which is more than I can say for your camera. Hope you find it soon and it still works!

If my camera is not safe than no one is. I think I’ll go to my Mom’s and hunt it down tonight. It’s the last place I remember having it.
[Reply]
Um.. is that the reason I smell cat piss?! We dont even have a cat!! I hate it! I’m cleaning today. I’m going to the store and buying every carpet cleaning stuff out there. I’m done!
And.. will you share your milions?!
I CANT BELIVE YOU HAVE A FARMVILLE!? …Farmtown is WAY better ;)

Posts with no pictures are SOOOO boring. I bore myself. At least it’s broken up in list format. That makes it a little better.
Excuse me while I CONTINUE looking for that blasted camera.
[Reply]
i have similar issues with Farmville. i can’t afford anything. guess i need more Farmville friends sending me stuff. you can pay for the “dollars” to buy stuff. i will never do that. that’s as crazy as people buying accessories for their avatars. i am not getting sucked into that virtual craziness. i hope you get cable. can’t believe you are missing RHOOC. you need to get it back since the next one is about housewives in D.C., i think. i also hope you find your camera. i’m thinking of attaching mine permanently to my head. take care.
[Reply]
Save your money and keep farming and you will be able to afford a pink tractor and pink cottage in no time. If you save your farmville dollars you will be able to get a pink barn sometime too.
[Reply]
Oh heck no! The camera is missing? That sucks.
I can’t do mold. Yuck.
[Reply]
LOL – snot! I completely agree. And Farmville, oh dear. I had a Farmtown & Farmville & Island Paradise & Lil Farm and it just gets out of hand. I even have an apartment in YoVille. Not to mention Mafia Wars and Sorority House. Good grief! But, that’s what happens when I can’t find a job or more productive things to do. I should just blog more, or sew things. And a lost camera? That would drive me to drink… love your blog!
[Reply]
Snot, mold, bad smells and a lost camera oh my!
[Reply]
Your camera is MIA?
I bet your assistant took it. The one from a long time ago. :)

Hahaha…oh thank heavens there are no more ferrets in this household. Sneaky, smelly little creatures aren’t they?
[Reply]
AMEN to #4! I’m with you on that one 100%!
[Reply]
Hope you find your camera soon!
And I have stayed strong, no Farmville for me yet :)
[Reply]
no way you got into farmville! no i am not playing it yet LOL…..sorry about the camera as for your cottage sigh i wish i can buy a farmhouse :(
[Reply]
I refuse to play Farmville.
[Reply]
Oh I feel you on the work and camera thing!! I dropped my camera the day after Christmas and it doesnt work anymore :( The one thing I did not get a warranty on!!! I am still crying.
[Reply]
#4 is my favorite…..I dream of days spent being pampered while the kids are away learning……dream is the key word in that sentence

There IS life after cable. Try hulu.com, casttv.com or the networks’ web sites for free video of current shows.
As far as the smell? Better hope it’s not what The Boy did: http://ratiooffailures.blogspot.com/2009/10/smell-of-great-outdoors.html
[Reply]
Ugh I’m with you on Snot! I am here on day 6 of antibiotics treating a sinus infection…gag!
[Reply]
the mold staring at me would make me go waaaaa too :o ummmm please tell me it didn’t actually have eyes….LOL
[Reply]
I heart farmville too..never in a million years thought I would play it! The kids love it too…anytime they are fighting and I can’t take it anymore I ask them if they want to see Mama’s barn, and all is calm! Try it. Scrabble on FB is also addicting…
[Reply]
I’m so with you on #4. This morning while I procrastinated getting out of bed I dreamed of winning the lottery and hiring a high school student to come to my house every morning to dress my kids and take them to school so that I could sleep in late. Then it was back to reality.
[Reply]
So did you miss Christmas with your family? Did she recover? And why won’t someone take that free cat??? Geez, I would but I am nowhere near NY. Ask your kids where the camera is. If I lose things I always ask my son. And even though I am the one who misplaced it, he ALWAYS knows where everything is.
[Reply]
yep, life is tough! I am having the same smell issue at my house. The grandkids move out and yet there is this lingering smell. For the life of me I can’t find it’s origin, it is driving me batty. I walk through the house yelling to Papa “Smell that? ” “Can you smell it now?” Maybe it’s him.
[Reply]
That’s it…you’re just going to have to do New Year’s in the big city so you can pick up Marcy and bring her home with you where she belongs!
Of course…you’ll absolutely HAVE to find your camera before the trip.
[Reply]
#4 and #3 hit home with me – Big time. There is a smell in my house and I can’t located it’s *origin* and I just know I have something heinous awaiting my discovery. :)
[Reply]
Stop.tempting.me.with.Farm.ville. I’ve already battled 5,347 requests. Ugh.
[Reply]
Do NOT miss the sippy cup smell!! My camera is on the road to being crap so I understand the feeling!
[Reply]
Here’s my tip to help you locate that stench. Check the toy box. That is where we always find our missing, reflexive-gag-inducing, cups of cheese, I mean milk. It’s also where I find 100 year old sandwiches, partially digested pieces of string cheese (#3 likes to chew on them for a while and spit them out), and unidentifiable sticky substances that could be syrup, juice, or snot. Happy hunting!
[Reply]
I have a pink cottage, I bet you are sooo jealous ;o)
[Reply]
My hope is that by tomorrow I’ll be able to make a list of “things that make me go Yay!!!”
Assuming, that is, I find my camera by then!
[Reply]
@Baby Mama Elyse
My friend dropped her brand new IPhone in the sink…she said replacing it would have cost 800 if she didn’t have the warranty. It’s SO frustrating when crap like that happens!
[Reply]
Sigh….don’t mind me guys…just trying to figure out this commenting plugin…not to mention commenting to myself makes me feel more loved. What if everyday I commented to my own post as if I was reading it for the first time. You would all would think Mama REALLY done lost it then!!
Anywhoo…carry on…nothing to see here…
[Reply]
Even with my broken viewer, I’d be ticked if my camera were lost, too. Poor Kat! Did you have a nice birthday? Christmas?
[Reply]
ha! Thanks for sharing.

Here is the comment you requested. I can’t remember if there was something else I was supposed to do – let me know.

Yes you were supposed to actually read the post and tell me how extremely funny and witty I am. Perhaps mention how adorable my new design is and how thankful you are to be my bestest friend EVER.
[Reply]
Ohhh SNOT, one of my favorites! NOT!
And umm that sandwich just made me cringe in horror as I am highly allergic to PCN which was found from mold HAHA
And I think I am going to plan a trip to NYC just to get that kitty!!
[Reply]
Maybe that’s because we’re called New YorkERS…. ;)
There must be a place you can advertise that free adoption… maybe NYC craig’s list?
[Reply]
Check under the couch for the sippy cup. That is where we always find ours. And so far, I have just said no to Farmville. I think continuing that willpower may make it onto my New Year’s Resolutions list.

Crap…am I supposed to be making a New Year’s Resolution list?? I don’t find Farmville AS addicting as I hear it can be….but I do peak in to check on my crops now and again.
[Reply]
Yeah I’m bad saver…I keep “expanding” my farm with my money even though I have nothing to put on it. I never claimed to make sense.
[Reply]
For some strange reason, I had a dream about Farmville last night AND I DON’T EVEN PLAY IT OR HAVE SEEN IT!!!
And mold … ick. Just think of it as penicillin.
[Reply]
Farmville sucked me in too. And I am the world’s worst farmer…my crops keep dying.
I hope you find your camera soon…that’s like losing one of your children!
[Reply]
Lovely list… except for the mold part. That was just ick. Ok, so was the snot.
So sorry on the camera — hope you find it soon. I lost my prescription sunglasses after having them for a week and a half. *sigh* I haven’t quite given up hope yet!
[Reply]
#5 made me gag… twice
#4 made me “mmmm hmmm… sing it sister” aloud, to myself, alone, in my room
and #3 made me gag again…
So thank you.
[Reply]
Heck Yeah Farmville! I have been playing for a while now- it never has gotten less addicting. Stupid game! We should totally be neighbors!!!
[Reply]
My drug of choice is Mafia Wars. Even though I’m bored silly with it, I’ve got a mafia family of 102 depending on me – sheesh!
I would SO take that kitty – can they FedEx it to Utah? I’m in the mood for a new kitty.
I hear ya on the camera. Drives me NUTSO to lose stuff. We spent two weeks going crazy looking for Blake’s Scout book that he desperately needed for his advancement. Found it underneath the laundry basket. Come to think of it, DH’s new camera is AWOL. It’s probably in the same black hole yours is in.
[Reply]
I am repeating to myself. I will not get sucked into Farmville. I will NOT get sucked into Farmville.
And I hate those phantom smells. It’s usually my dog tho. Blech.
[Reply]
How on earth do you stay so charming and witty every. single. day?? Seriously. You amaze (and baffle) me! And make me look bad, but it’s Christmas and I’m feeling generous, so I won’t begrudge you for it. Today.
By the way, I didn’t forget you on your birthday, I was just busy at Chuck-E-Cheese celebrating my wee one’s birthday and I totally played some games and had some pizza for you. It’s a totally sucky day for a birthday, isn’t it??? Ugh!
[Reply]
Refuse to get hooked on all those ‘villes! Hope u find ur camera!
[Reply]
..I know I hat that farm game too..I keep ignoring those things but it doesnt work..!! I was LMAO about the snadwichy thing…that happened the other day..only to the hubs’s ….not to funny..!!
