The tribal council has spoken

Who knew there were so many people out there with such strong feelings about word verification

Not I said the fly

So we'll try comment moderation for awhile 

See how that goes

I just know that something has to give

I just deleted 39 spam comments

And the dumb thing is that they're all on the same posts

It's like those posts have been haunted or something

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT REALLY DRIVES ME CRAZY?

WHEN PEOPLE TYPE IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME JUST LIKE THIS

ESPECIALY WHEN THEY HAV SPELING ERORS

Oy it makes my eyes hurt just to look at it 

I just want to say to them "Hey!! Stop yelling at me!!"

Cause that's totally what it feels like they're doing

Hubby and I finally got more boxes moved out of our spare bedroom yesterday

We I put away a bunch of books last night (I'm really much too OCD for him to really be able to help with that)

So while I was doing that he put some more stuff away on our new fancy shelving unit that we have

I'll have to take a picture and show you

It's so much better than leaving things all over the counter and our table and the floor in the spare bedroom

Also I finally finished that V-day gift of his

As soon as we hang it tonight I'll take a picture to show you

I took this picture yesterday and it still makes me smile


What a smart kid

And adorable as well

WELL I BETTER GO FIND ME SOME CHOCOLATE TO EAT

IT'S JUST BEN THAT KIN OF A DAY

Hi. My name is Baby Sister, and I like Oreo's.

So, many of you know of my...like...of snow

And maybe I've mentioned this before, but I did not get snow on my wedding day

Which left my relationship with Mother Nature pretty rocky

I told her she had a lot of making up to do

And of course the day that Hubby and I flew to Hawaii for our honeymoon (aka the next day) it snowed

Not cool, M.N., not cool

Luckily, since then we've had a pretty decent winter

She still has a lot of making up to do, but the nice winter did help in that regard

So a few weeks ago as the snow was starting to melt, I noticed a newspaper halfway buried under the snow on Mama Smurf's lawn

I grabbed it and took it inside with me, cause I try to be a good daughter like that

Once I got inside I took it out of the bag to see if it was a recent one and this is what I saw


And I found it in February 

That's almost two months under snow

I really hope that my parents weren't wanting to read the news that day

Or that there wasn't anything terribly important going on

In other news

hahahaha...I didn't even do that intentionally....

My blog is being taken over by anonymous, spam comments

as if to cement that, I just got another one...

And no matter what I do, they won't stop coming

I currently have 24 in my spam folder

But before that I had

28+31+19+7+10+19

that is how I have it written on a sticky note on my desktop...I'm awesome like that

And that's only within the last month

So, any suggestions my friends?

I would ban anonymous comments in general, but every once in a while I get a real, true anonymous comment 

So I'm considering changing my comment settings

Maybe I'll go back to the word verification

Or there's always comment moderation

I'm still kind of on the fence about what to do 

If any of you have some magic spells or anything to make the spammers go away, that would be great

On the other hand, I think I have a problem


That is the top shelf of our main cupboard

And it's full of Oreo's

Now, some of those are leftovers from our wedding reception

thank heavens they last so long, huh?

But the others? All.my.doing.

We have













So, at least they're not all of the same variety, right??

That totally makes it better

Unfortunately for some of those there is more than one bag per variety




Plus another golden mega stuf that's here at work

I still blame the Double Stuf on the fact that not enough people came to the reception to eat them, and those that were there didn't eat enough

The tragedy of it all

But the Mega Stuf? That is all me

Did you know they came out with Mega Stuf Oreos??

I didn't until my cousin told my sister who told me

And then the search was on

And FINALLY Wallie World had them

As did Target

I can't find them anywhere anymore...sad...*tear*

And let me tell you, they are amazing!!

It's like heaven in a cookie

I like them because there's just enough cream that I'm not as tempted to eat more that two or three like I would be with the Double Stuf

It's the special edition Oreo's that really get me into trouble

Hence the multiple bags of Mega Stuf

I prefer the chocolate cookies over the golden, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do

And no, Oreo is not endorsing me for writing about their awesomness in bags

Though I wish they would

They would just have to let me keep the bags elsewhere

Obviously I don't have the room for them
