just a few obnoxious pictures of myself
Todays Gripes:
* Am I the only mother who isn't crying about the prospect of her child going off to school? Good grief! Every tweet/facebook status/blog post I read is about some poor mom breaking down in tears just thinking of their little precious going off to Kindergarten. Me? I'm ecstatic to have a few hours to myself. Either I'm really insensitive or those other moms just don't enjoy day drinking like I do.
* Honey Boo Boo Child. I was going to give that fam damily a pass this week but I just watched an episode and neck crust? Neck crust?! That's just wrong...
* Women bitching about "not wanting to be sexualized." Whether they admit it or not, all women want to be "wanted" but fine, I sorta get that. But when they complain about "sexual harassment" all because a member of the opposite sex said they have a nice ass? I'm sorry, but I take "you have a nice ass" as a compliment. And if they slap it while they say it? Bonus points.
* Fashion bloggers. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times... Why you always gotta be looking at the ground!?! And is it just me or do straight fashion posts bore the bazzeez out of you? I mean, give me something a bit interesting!
And Gratitude:
* When I posted this picture on my instagram feed, one of my besties commented this:
Couple pick? Really?! Us?? Best. compliment. ever. For serious.
* Tin foil. I've mentioned a few times before how I tin foil my kids' rooms. Yes, we have room darkening shades but that wasn't enough, so I covered every square inch of their windows in the stuff. I decided to take it off one night to "air the room out" and Gunner woke up at six. effing. thirty. AM. So yeah, the TF went right back up and now we all sleep soundly 'til atleast 8:30. I'm a genius.
* You guys. I have been horrible at doing my blog duties. I'm surprised I even get comments anymore because I have totally dropped the ball with responding and commenting on all ya'lls blogs. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I will be better, I will visit your space more often and I will be more prompt when responding to emails. Promise.
* And finally, I am so, so very thankful that I do not, and hopefully will never, have neck crust.
Or any other kind of bodily crust for that matter.

The neck crust was disgusting! This week June has some crazy pimple near her eye.
ReplyDeleteTin foil?!?? Why didn't I think of that? I need this kid to sleep past 6am. Sooo doing this.
Your hair looks great!
ReplyDeleteNeck crust...eeewww!
TTYL

I love that show though the neck crust does totally gross me out!
ReplyDeleteHaving no neck crust is a huge accomplishment, good job! :P
ReplyDeleteI totally love your hair.
ReplyDeleteTin foiling sounds like the greatest idea ever! Now if it would only work for my dog...
ReplyDeleteWow I love your post. That neck crust episode was for sure sicko. She's the reason I'm motivated to work out daily...just thinking about it makes me want to work out all day.
ReplyDeleteI've also heard some friends of mine using the TF, I'm going to have to try that.
Ass slaps and tin foil- it's the simple things in life! And I love your obnoxious pictures because they're not really obnoxious at all, just gorgie!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the foil idea! Amelia thinks tht six is the best time to wake up. Also neck crust sound just plain icky. Hmmm I think I will pray tonight that I never get neck crust : p
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are gorgeous! I sincerely hope that when I'm a mother of 2 that I can rock it as well as you do! Aaaaaaaand can't stop laughing about the neck crust. gross gross gross. I feel icky just writing it. Have a good weekend Raven, thanks for cracking me up yet again!
ReplyDeleteMy little monster doesn't start kindergarden until next year, but I am excited for him to go. No tears will be shed by this ol girl when he goes to school! Neck crust! OMG! Nasty Crusty Crust!
ReplyDeleteAss slap :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteOK you are a genius with your tin foil! I mean DUH seems so obvious now! Hmm...I think I may have enough for KP's window...
ReplyDeleteYou have the best hair...just sayin....I pretty much want it! I also agree about the fashion bloggers, I never get why they look at the ground or up to outer space...whatevs! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteWonder if the tin foil thing will work on my husband??
ReplyDeleteyou look sog gorg in the pics above! happy friday! and Im so sorry that I told you who got voted off last night on big brother via twitter ... wont happen again! :) hope u enjoyed the show as much as I did!
ReplyDeletexo, ashley
I agree on the fashion blogger part! I've pretty much stopped following all full-on fashion bloggers. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WORE YESTERDAY!
ReplyDeleteLove the tin foil idea--slightly ghetto, but if it works, it works! haha
Hotttttieeeee!!! It makes me depressed seeing all these moms crying about their kids too, like I'm sure the first day might be weird-- but I feel like they should be pumped for some free time, lol!!
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to get all, "Hey woman, do something about the work out" crazy on you... But why don't you use that amazing time that you're children sleep in to work out?
ReplyDeleteI currently wake up at 6:00 am to go running. Most mornings I want to set fire to my alarm clock, but it feels soooo good to come home see a lazy husband in bed and know that I look SO MUCH HOTTER than he does. And I'm crazy about nekkid husband. Not that he sleep nekkid, I just like it when he's nekkid.
Wow.
Anyway, just an idea...
I just don't get the looking at the feet thing. I seriously don't. Don't get me wrong, I love a great "ootd" post or what have you, but must you look at your feet? Do you do that shit in your regular life? Look at the damn camera and smile. Shit.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the other moms don't appresh day drinking, but I sure do! I also enjoy the "you have a nice ass" compliment - seriously, how can that POSSIBLY be offensive?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your comment about Fashion Bloggers. I don't get the "poses". Also, WHO takes those 30 pictures. It has to be self-timer. My hubs would laugh his ass off if I asked him to take them, or if I did those poses.
ReplyDeleteOMG! My dad used to tin foil my windows in high school and I was so embarrassed. My husband still makes fun of me for it
ReplyDeleteYou better rednecognize! I kind of love honey boo booo. And her family. And Glitzy.
ReplyDeleteTin foil?! Genius! I love reading your blog no matter if you come visit mine or not haha! You're hilarious! Love the gripes and gratitude! :)
ReplyDeletexo
1) Can you have an ugly day every once and a while? just ONE!?? ;) i kid. I hope I'm a MILF like you.
ReplyDelete2) honey boo boo... oh my heck I VOMMED at that comment and immediately had to turn it off. too much. just. too. much.
3) you. are. a. genius. I don't have kids but I'm about to tin foil the shit out of my windows so I can sleep in. wonderful.
We relate tin foiled up windows with the ghetto mexicans out here hahahaha! (I can say that...I'm mexican and sometimes ghetto)
ReplyDeleteI have to start watching this honey boo boo show you talk about...neck crust sounds like a good watch. I also take "you have a nice ass" as a compliment. The ass grab will get you a slap in the face, for now.
Man if I had the money I would send Vaughn to a daycare for a day or two a week even though I'm a SAHM. Is that bad? Probably. But at least Kindergarten you don't have to feel like a lazy bitch about it. Its school, after all.
ReplyDeleteFunny, and slightly coincidental, I almost posted about how jealous I am of you bishes who radiate sexiness, today... and then I deleted the post. But yes, you were one of the ones I was going to pick on for being such a sexy bish all the time. I love it and am way jealous (sincerely, forever "cute" chick).
ReplyDeleteNeck crust...just nasty! And someone get that lady some orthadontia! Love your blog, as usual:) Cheers to day drinking!
ReplyDeleteThat family is just gross, I mean really neck crust? I almost puked when she said that. And who paints their socks?! WTF?
ReplyDeleteI love this and love you. Thanks for being honest! Holla at ya day drinking. P.S. Should I tune in to honey boo boo child? is it worth it? Idk it just seems gross but is that the girl's real name?
ReplyDeleteI haven't had to pull out the tin foil yet. Blinds and dark curtains have so far done the trick. But what a genius idea! I also keep telling myself that I'm going to get up before Jordan does so I can have a peaceful moment before 9 pm.....has yet to happen. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I want your hair, and a fashion post isnt bad every once in awhile, but I guess I'm just not that obsessed with fashion that I feel the need to take 30 pictures of my outfit EVERY day.
XoXo
Nice neck crust;-)
ReplyDelete*smacks ass*
Tin foil huh? I'll have to try that one! Love your blog, it always makes me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to remember the tinfoil when some hot guy impregnates me.
ReplyDeleteNeck crust - that shit was nasty. The show is a HOT mess, but I can't stop watching!!!!
I'm with you, I don't mind ogling fashion blogs that actually have some substance. I know you hate them all together, but if they actually have a personality, which is pretty much requirement number 1 to have a blog in my book, I'll browse their stuff here and there.
ReplyDeleteTin foil brilliant!! Neck crust Ewwww! Fashion bloggers staring at the ground, seriously! what are they looking at down there?!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you gave me total hair envy. GORG. Secondly, if I ever become a mother, I'm coming straight to you for lessons on how to be awesome. The foil is lesson #1 that I hope I don't forget. You ARE a genius. With great hair!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you I stole your tinfoil idea? I even brought a box on vacation with us 'cause you know buying some there would be way too difficult.
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures! so i tried out that honey boo boo show so I could see what everyone was talking about...the moment the neck crust came up i switched it...haha thats too rednick for me & just gross to watch. coming from a fashion blogger i know that i look at the ground because iom sick of showng my face...its more of a look at the shoes im wearing ya know haha...i hope you still love me...don't forget your guest post! have a good weekend raven! xoxo
ReplyDeleteNew to your blog! I am a Washington gal and WSU lover myself :) Love the foil idea! Can't wait to follow along, your family is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHahaha "if they slap it while they say it? Bonus points." You are tooo funny.
ReplyDeleteRAVEN!!!!!! You are just freakin awesome! I've been reading your blog for a few months now and LOVE is what I'm fellin! I've never commented, but HAD to tonight cuz last nite I dreamed me and you were out PARTYING together!!!!!! HOLLA! Maybe I shouldn't add that you passed out in the hallway of some venue, but hell, we had fun!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming--reading "Don't Quote the Raven" keeps us gals in Central Va rollin!
You'll always have comments lady! Bitches love you! ;) And hell yeah, please let some guy tell me nice ass. lol.
ReplyDeleteLMFAO!!! You ALWAYS make me LITERALLY laugh out loud! Girrlll…you NEED a reality show, talk show, book, need to be doing stand up...SOMETHING…ANYTHING!!! I NEED to "HEAR" you…EVERY SINGLE DAY! =) You're the shit & you make me smile…more than any other! Keep 'em comin', Sister!!! We ALL love you! XO
ReplyDeleteP.S…If you're accepting sponsors right now…I wanna be ALL UP on yo shyt!!! =) Billboard & all! Holla at ya girl!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the pleasure of watching that show, and by the sounds of it, I am not sure that I need to :) I was one of those upset mothers, but now I am adjusting and enjoying some ME time....I love your blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHAHA I'm dying about what you said about fashion bloggers! It's like they constantly have to make sure their feet are still there. Don't worry, they are. And seriously. Yawn.
ReplyDeleteI've been needing to watch Honey Boo Boo but I still haven't. All I've seen is the preview where she got a pig and I was like "well that makes sense."
Omgosh! I was reading another (fashion) blog a few days ago and in every pic the girl was LOOKING DOWN! It drove me nuts! I just kept thinking "why do you keep looking down??" Grrr!
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm putting tin foil over all of the windows in my son's room right now. This very second. What a fabulous idea! AND I soooo look forward to the days that he goes to Tuesday/Thursday school. I only get a few hours to myself and its so very wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteI don't understand all this fashion business! Love your hair though :)
ReplyDeleteAre you serious about this neck crust thing? That child scares me. She's like freddy krueger of 2012 :(
ReplyDeleteI love your posts!!! So funny!
Cathy Trails
I like the sun coming in, but if and when I have kids...I will probably do the tinfoil thing!!
ReplyDeleteYou two are hot and all, but my couple pick is still Gwen Stefani, and Gavin Rossdale. Lol, and yeah, I agree about women being sexualized. I say, enjoy it while you can, cause eventually that ass is gonna sag.
ReplyDeleteI get complimented by men all the time at work. Sometimes, they take the comments a little far, but they know I'm not offended. This chick started throwing around the sexual harassment thing on my behalf. I told her, "It's not sexual harassment if I like it."
ReplyDeleteThat shut her old, jealous ass up.
