OrganiSed Chaos

On Facebook, there’s a little bit of fun going around.
This is what it said:

Go to urbandictionary.com, type in your first name, copy and paste this as your status and the FIRST entry for your name under comments.

So I did.
It’s not often I do them, but after seeing what mine said, I had to!!
This was my result:

Female name usually given to someone Irish or an Irish wanna-be. Most Maureens are smart, stubborn and memorable. A Maureen will leave you exhausted for days. You won’t forget your first Maureen, ever.

I nearly wet myself laughing and thought I should share it with you.
Go.
Check out your name and come tell me all about you!!

I’ve been looking for a premium theme for some time, with little success until recently when I purchased one.
Well, the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray they say, and it would seem the same can be applied to women.
I’ve had to enlist the help of my very own blogging goddess, who is also having some trouble she tell me, so if that’s the case I’m sure I would still be working on it this time next year if it’s giving her problems, trust me.
In the mean time, I’ve been trawling the internetz looking, and waiting for something to grab me, and today it did.
The irony here is that is was on the Wordpress site!
I rarely go there looking for themes because not a lot of them grab me ordinarily, and searching through them can be quite tedious, but these days you can search by tags and descriptions so it’s not too bad.
Me, being me, wanted a customisable header, so that’s what I went for.
Lo and behold a theme jumped out at me!
It’s wicked!
Really wicked!
I’m currently futzing with it to get it right and hope to have it done by the end of the weekend, and will launch it with my Malarky Monday post, if not before.
The biggest surprise of all, to me anyway, is that it’s only 2 columns.
I always, always, go for 3 columns, but this is different for some reason, plus it’s fluid width which is just a bonus.
So that’s going to be the best part of my weekend methinks.
There is much happening that you can’t see, but all will be revealed in the fullness of time as it generally is.
It’s flogging down rain here, so there is little else to do anyway, and a new theme always brightens my day a little.
I hope your weekend is treating you well.

Wanted to welcome the two of you home.
I’m hoping that Christmas was fabulous for the both of you and all the family.
We so enjoyed the Skype call on Christmas Eve!
Crazy though, huh? 

Miss you both and praying you make it home safe.
*Moe, your plugins are up to date as is the new 2.9 version of Wordpress.
Didn’t want you working too hard when you came home.
btw- check your plugins. I uploaded a little surprise for you.
If I had admin on Oz, I would have done the same.
Malarky Monday can wait until next week!
Welcome home, folks, welcome home . . .
Later gators

A little song while you’re unpacking

Yes, tis that time again.
When myself, Mark, ~m, and our latest addition DILLIGAF make an attempt to put a smile on your dial for the rest of the week.
This week, in the spirit of Christmas, I thought I would find some inspirational little ditties to help you get through the season, and the obligatory Santa pic at the bottom {you know you want him! admit it!}
Feel free to use these as you will.
You just never know when the time will be right for one of these rippers!

There are some who do the BAH HUMBUG! thing at Christmas.
Not mentioning any names though, you all know who you are.

So, in the spirit of the Grinch, for MM this week, I have a few little Christmassy notes you can jot down and refer to when you’re doing your shopping, a couple of jpegs that took my fancy, and are certainly not in the spirit of Christmas, plus a little surprise at the bottom.
Once you’re done here, don’t forget to visit my fellow funsters in Mark, ~m, Muffy and Grimm.
Now, without further ado, we’re off to the races!
Shopping list:
1. A bottle of wHine is a great last minute gift for those who are constantly at it
2. If you have a brain explosion and decide to buy that C class benz with the huge red ribbon for someone, get them the cute ribbon collared puppy as well. With a bit of luck it will shit on the drivers seat.
3. When people ask what you want for Christmas, tell them you want everyone to stop asking dumb arsed questions.
4. For the one relative who seems to always expect the perfect gift, a giant bottle of disappointment will be sure to have them crying in their wHine. After all, an expectation does invite a disappointment
5. The ultimate gift however is the huge meltdown that always seems to happen on Christmas eve because of the pressure. You can give that one to yourself! You’ve earned it after all the shit you’ve been through in the last 2 weeks.

These 2 pics had me chuckling to myself, and I can only hope they amuse you as well.

These final ones are for those people who think Christmas holds nothing but crap, cos neither of these are crap, trust me!

Yep, it’s Monday again.
The time of the week when we try an give you a little lift after the first bitchin’ day of the week.
Now, I have an odd sense of humor.
I’m one of those who actually DO think it’s funny when old people fall over or some little kid comes a gutser off their bike and skins every visible part of them.
I was trawling that wondrous site You Tube earlier this week and came across this video.
The minute I watched it, I knew it was destined for the blog.
Once you’ve had a look, don’t forget to visit my cohorts in Mark, ~m and Muffy who are sure to have some more little tit bits to tickle you fancy.
As I always say.
You simply cannot have your fancy tickled too much.
