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.

Not exactly sure who looks the happiest here, Poppy or Zoe.
It’s hard to tell I think.
There is nothing quite like the bond between grandfather and granddaughter is there?
I must give credit to Kelly for the pic, which was taken at Christmas.
There were many more she took, but this is my favourite, if for nothing other than the happiness that is evident in both of them.

Indeed, it’s that time of the week when myself, Michael, Mark and DILLIGAF band together trying to titillate, tempt and tease you into some of the wittier little snippets life has to offer.
My first offering this week is some word play.
I’ve always said there are some very clever people in the world, and this merely serves to reinforce that notion.
Gotta love people with imagination, yes?
Alternate words.

In the middle we have a couple of images that had me spitting coffee over my laptop screen.


A joke about the most maligned little boy in the world.
Little Johhny!
Little Johnny came home one day and said to his mother:
“Mum! Peter next door has a penis like a peanut”
Mum replies:
“You mean shaped like a peanut?”
“No, it’s salty”
Finally, some insults for when the human race is pissing you up the wall.
1. I’m glad you’re short. It gives me less to complain about.
2. You don’t have a mother: Two dads and a chemistry set don’t count.
3. You’re so stupid, you’d asked for a price check at the $1.00 store.
4. Q. Have you ever seen a jackass wrapped in plastic?
A. Show me your license.
5. If I needed any shit from you I’d squeeze your head.
6. I’m trying to see things from your point of view, but I can’t get my head that far up my arse!
Don’t forget to go visit my fellow makers of chaos and malarky, and always remember.
We’re laughing at you, not with you.
Have a great week peoples.

Throughout the year, Kelly has done To do lists.
As each item on the list is completed, she goes back and crosses it off.
I’ve always thought it a great idea because it gives a person not only some purpose, but things to aspire to.
On New Years Day, Kel did another one.
You’ll find it here.
At the bottom of that post, there is a line that grabbed me.

Feel free to write your own list. If you do, please be sure to let me know. Who knows, if there are enough of us I may devote a page to it and get a webring/blogroll happening for it…

Sounded like a good idea to me, so I thought I’d give it a go and do my own list.
Like Kel, these are not resolutions because I don’t do them, so I’ll say “these are the things I want to achieve this year”
None of them are impossible or unrealistic, so there is no reason I can’t do them either.
{A couple of them are the same, but then we are mother and daughter so it’s not that surprising, and these are in no particular order}

Get another tattoo
Return to Boston {ok, this is a bit of a cheat cos we know we’re gonna do it, but it’s still part of what I want to do this year, so I’m including it anyway}
Learn more about code and how it works {so as to not annoy the crap out of Kelly}
Do more exercise and lose some more weight
Buy a new car. Not necessarily “new” but another one at least
Get back home {Victoria} at least once to see those I miss badly
Enrol in a TAFE cooking course
Buy a bigger fridge
Do some volunteer work

Certainly not lofty ambitions, nor are there a lot of them, but they’re more than enough of a challenge to keep me occupied throughout the year.
If you want to play along, feel free, and if you let Kelly know that would be a bonus.
For now, I’m off to check out what TAFE have on offer in the culinary skills department.

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!
