My apologies to all of you that love to read the Tales of My Shady Past.

I know, you are all sucked in and you wait patiently everyday for my new post (especially that crazy girlfriend in Minnesota that I love to pieces!).

I am apologizing because this week……this week I will not be posting any Tales of My Shady Past stories.

This week is a VERY busy week since Zman & The Drama Queen start school on Tuesday (yep– proud mommy to a 4th & 5th grader!)

Along with school starting means a LARGE amount of paperwork and homework for me. You know what I mean?

The mass quantities of paperwork the school inundates the parents with during the first week of school.  Our children’s school is notorious for sending home papers, fliers, permission slips, handbooks etc. every day during the first week.  So, if you are looking for me….I will be sitting somewhere, with pen in hand checking the boxes yes and no and signing my parent signature on a bazillionandtwelve different pieces of paperwork. (Oh how I wish everything could be done electronically!)

So. I am sure you are wondering what will I post this week instead?

My answer is simply this…..it will be about the kids.

I will write about their first day.

I will make them my Wordless Wednesday.

I will let you know how Tatertot copes with them being gone after having them to play with everyday.

I will let you know just how much I am enjoying the piece and quiet and noise of only 1 child between the housrs of 7:30 am and 3:00pm.

I’m sure it will all be great reading material.

I have a lot of things to work on this week aside from the kids kicking off another school year.

I have a few new projects  I am working on.

I have a couple of great reviews to complete.

I have some exciting news to share……NO! MOTHER, (and sister too), I AM NOT PREGNANT!

Plus, ontop of all the things I need to complete in regard to the internet and my beautiful computer (that I have completely repaired and removed all traces of the scarypaininmyassmalwarevirus that attacked my brandnew computer last Thursday—screw you and that damn Trojan horse you road in on!) there are also things such as, housework, laundry, organization, my schoolwork, cleaning of the garage, getting ready for a rummage sale in 2 weeks and I’m sure there is A LOT more on that TO-DO List of mine. (Did I mention that there is also that Blogging for Dummies class I teach to my mom and her friend Nana Tesch on Thursday’s —- feel free to stop by their blogs and give them some comment love! Naturally Healthy in Titletown & Nana Tesch )

Also, if you haven’t taken my little survey for me yet, please take a moment to do so.  It is only 5 questions and is painless. You can find the survey HERE.

Well, I am off for now but I do promise that the Tales of My Shady Past will reappear next week Tuesday (hey—don’t give me grief– Monday is a holiday!)

P.S. I also FINALLY convinced the Hardworking Hubby to join Twitter!!! He is @hardworkinhubby so be sure to show him some love as well!

Have a hankering for something sweet yet good for you at the same time?  Give this Caramel Apple Salad recipe a whirl!

Ingredients

  • 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, not drained
  • 8 ounces of Cool-Whip Free

Instructions

Mix the undrained pineapple and the pudding in a large bowl. Fold in the cool whip and apples. Let cool in refrigerator for about 15 minutes then enjoy!

cards_fish300Yes, you heard me correctly.
Who knew it was a game?
Here’s how you play.
Take yourself + one cheating, lying, ex-boyfriend whom you still care about a great deal.
Add 1 deck of cards.
Add a 6 pack of beer (or substitute beer with the alcoholic beverage of your choice).
Make yourself look absolutely perfect (make sure you have a little cleavage going for you.)
Go to aforementioned cheating, lying, ex-boyfriend who you still care about a great deal’s apartment to visit because you are making a VERY valid attempt to remain friends with him.
In an attempt to keep the conversation going and decrease any attempt of ‘doing the deed’ with the lying, cheating, ex-boyfriend you still care about a great deal that you are making a VERY valid attempt to remain friends with, suggest a friendly game of Go-Fish.
After having consumed a few beers (or the alcoholic beverage of your choice) and getting your butt kicked at Go-Fish one to many times WHILE making a DRASTIC attempt at a comeback, up the ante and suggest you turn the innocent game of Go-Fish into the adult version of Strip Go-Fish.

Needless to say, from that point on, I was winning!
That’s all the details you get!

P.S. If you are a dedicated Tales of My Shady Past reader, please take a moment and take this quick survey for me HERE.
