My life is one big jumble of kids, pets, crafts, friends, food, home and business.

Ugh, I'm one of "those"

Sigh... well I embrace it and acknowledge it so that has to count for something.


Tonight was Teagan's first performance of the month, she will have 3 more before Cmas. It was at the Festival of Lights in our city and they were on the main stage. Now all of the beginner dancers are very cute and they look adorable no matter how well they do but...

You knew the but was coming right? Of course you did.

My daughter is amazing. No really, I swear. She is so good. I wish you all could see her. I need to get a digital recorder so I can get a clip to upload. She really seems like a natural and she loves it so much. She does practice all the time because she just loves doing the steps.

One day she might be on a BIG stage and we can say we knew her when. ;)

No way, I think I might know wtf I'm doing!

Ok well that's not EXACTLY true but we can pretend. lol

I'm actually getting my programs back on my comp after the "trauma" and I'm at least 90% back to normal.

Today after much frustration and mental cussing I figured out how to get my podcasts back and get them on my ipod.

Now of course that means I have to go to the each individual websites which is kinda tedious but it's better than nothing!

Testing 1-2....

I'm trying out ScribeFire, a supposedly really cool add on for Firefox.

Sorry to say that so far it seems pretty sweet. That means I can blog every little thought in my head now from any site, no matter what I'm doing.

Again, I apologize. ;)

But here is a cute picture, just for you.



Awwwwwwwww. Little Mary Alice was 6 weeks old yesterday.

OMG Squeeeeeeeee

Yes I really just did that... I swear!

Would I lie?

So my partner in podcasts, Nicole just linked me to this AMAZING site with tons of freaking adorable free blogger templates.

Suck My Lolly

I love, adore and wish I could wear them all. I want to be her bff but I may have to bitchslap Nic to get a spot in line. ;)

So admire my new "dress" and go get your own, you look like crap. I only tell you the truth because I love you. *smooch*

In a word... Craptastic

Yes, faithful readers that pretty much sums up my week.

It started off early in the week at the girlchild's dance lesson. Another mom,a mom I thought was a close friend, went postal on me and it was not pleasant. I walked away and a few moments later she followed me to yell at me some more. Sigh

So I ended the night in tears feeling like a moron for being so frustrated.

But Friday was my birthday so the week got better right?!??

Um, no. lol

Thursday my tower decided it was no longer going to boot, not even in safe mode. (is there anything I can do to save that machine?) So I grabbed my backup tower but it needed an operating system so I install an obselete version of Ubuntu (linux) on it and after hours and a near mental breakdown I am online again only at maybe 30% capacity.

I can't install any programs so I'm itunesless, skypeless and just all around out of the loop.

BUT at least I am here, kinda.

If the comp dying Thursday wasn't good enough girlchild woke up with a fever and was pukey... ALWAYS FUN! Bleh

So on my actual bday, dh had to work long hours and I didn't see him. I had no cake, no dinner... nothing special and birthday like. Big Sigh

Nic and I recorded a show, she called me on the phone, but the quality was shit so it had to be redone. We re-recorded last night and hopefully it will work out ok and the birthdaycast will be uploaded in the next few days.


Ok enough of the mopey crap, hopefully the next blog will be back to your regular Venus. ;)

It doesn't pay to be cute in this house

Because this is the kinda crap that we do to you...

New order filled and I'm a huge sucker!

This is the baby that tried very hard to keep me from finishing my order last Thursday. She is 4 weeks and luckily for her - damn cute. ;) Meet baby Mary... the kids named her. I think Mary is a crap cat name but oh well it's not like cats learn their name or give a shit about you. lol *insert hate mail from cat lovers*

















The order WAS finished though because I am the awesome, duh. lol These little guys are headed off to Canada, eh.

My other hobby

Well this one is a little different, even for me...


I have a podcast. Are you all scratching your head and saying What?!?

If you don't know, a podcast is like an internet radio show. Some have themes and others are nothing more than the ramblings of a person with too much time on their hands... guess which mine is? ;)

It's not mine alone though, I have a co-host. A partner is snarkiness as it were.

Nicole from purpleduckie and I do this podcast every week. Sometimes we stay on a topic, kinda , but usually we just ramble and bitch. lol The content and our mouths are EXPLICIT so if that type of thing offends you, this is NOT the show for you.

It's Not Us, It's You!



We have recently been in the new and notable section of the itunes store under podcasts/comedy so that has been very exciting even if it means nothing. We are easily amused. ;)

This is our itunes summary so it should give a good idea of what you are getting yourself into if you decide to listen. Don't say you weren't warned.

It's Not Us, It's You! is brought to you by partners in snark, Nicole and Venus. Upon meeting at a infamous parenting board the two quickly realized that had far too much in common. So if you are ready to follow the journey of two heathen homeschooling alterna-moms while they bitch, mock and just generally bs their way through life in the bible belt then you are in the right spot.

Ok so you know I've been playing around with the sock toys for a while

But it is officially a business! I take orders and have a logo and everything!! How crazy is that?

Here is one of my newest designs

Here I am working away in my corner on an order. :D

I rarely ever get in front of the camera so consider yourself lucky. lol

Do you ever wonder about other people craft areas?

I do and I don't think I'm alone...

Here is my disaster corner. Our townhouse is not huge so I had to eek out a little space where I could. It works... for now.

The picture is huge so here is the link...

ok I have pattern books, scissors, stuffing, socks - the drawer to the right is all socks, ribbon and felt (which is spilling out after my daughter rummaged through it for a project). There is my button box on the floor. I have paper for drawing patterns, and then other basics - phone, lamp, hard candy, thread.

I know it's not glamorous but it's where the sock magic happens.... ooooOOOooo

Well here is the thing...

You have missed a LOT! I'm going to try over the next few blog posts to catch you up on my life and all of the stuff I have going on. Let's start with current events and move backwards. ;)


I made a ring pincushion (pc). My old pc was a pita and when I would stick a pin in it, it would usually slide away which meant I needed two hands and when you are sewing that is annoying.

So problem solved and I recycled. So eco!

Isn't it cute? I wanted to use cute fabric but all I have is felt and socks so... there ya go. A circle of fabric, glue, soda top and hair tie was all it took.
