BBC Is Turning My Moms Brain To Mush...

Ok so not totally... but I mean it surely isn't helping keep the crazy at bay. Don't get me wrong I LOVE LOVE LOVE my mom... it’s just that she tends to get a bit carried away with things. For example, when that whole thing about the lipstick being toxic came out my sister and I both had emails within seconds of the release with an article on what brands and such. Well valid you say, well not really neither my sister nor I wear lipstick... AT ALL... so not relevant.

My moms new kick is this show where peoples houses are a mess and these two English women go in and clean it and test for mold and dust and bacteria, I believe it is called "How Clean Is Your House". Now if anyone has seen this show you know that the houses that they go to are beyond gross. These people haven't cleaned in god knows how long gross. So after watching an episode of this show my mom is nervous that we have mold spores and random types of bacteria that were named on that show (mind you she also tends to make up names that sound similar to the actual names). Also I had to endure the small freak-out she had about how the cats must be sick since I haven't cleaned the litter box in 2 days and 'bacteria is growing in it and have made them sick'. Now ok I get the need to keep your pets healthy, I overindulge my pets beyond belief, however the owners on this show cleaned the box about once every few months... let me repeat that... ONCE every few MONTHS. Yes you heard right MONTHS... now all things aside that is downright abuse, no wonder the cats were sick on the show. Now also lets remember my cats have not had their litter box cleaned at this point in 2 days, as in I last cleaned it on Sunday and it was now Tuesday... this folks is why I think the BBC is a little too intense for her.

However I will say this again... I love my mom, she is awesome, and in a sense her craziness is a part of who she is. I think my life would be boring if I didn't walk in to my house on a random Tuesday hearing her yell fragmented sentences that include phrases such as 'MOLD SPORES', 'HEPA FILTRATION' or my favorite thing, 'FLESH EATING BACTERIA'. This mayhem just makes me smile now and my life is happier because of it. Now as far fetched as she can become she means well, I mean what mom would want to see flesh eating bacteria appear in their house... I guess the only solution is to try and wean her off of the BBC for now… or at least until they have other shows.

Welcome Welcome Welcome... Now Get The Hell Out

Today is the day that I actually do this. What is "this" you ask, well to be frank I am asking myself the same question. I have been told I need to have a creative outlet as in, I have been told I need to write a book or at least have a video camera following me around to document the random yet apparently entertaining things that happen in my life. Well I was never very good at the English language... SATs proved that to me apparently, and I honestly don't have the random wads of cash lying around that would allow me to hire someone to follow me around with a camera. And really and truthfully if I ever DID have that kinda cash I would opt for someone to carry something fun and festive, like a pinwheel or boom box behind me, not a camera.

Anyway back to the subject... this is the whole blogging thing. If anyone reads it I have no idea however I hope i am slightly entertaining and you all get a kick out of my rants and raves! So here goes!
