Am I turning into my mother?

Posted by kim on August 1, 2009

If you’re a long time reader, you’ll know that my favorite color is pink. And when I painted the girls’ bedrooms three year ago, I painted them exactly how I would have loved to have a room when I was a kid.

Well, my youngest daughter is complaining that she wants “a new room”. It isn’t good enough that she got a brand new bed (she still crawls in bed with me all the time, even though she’s eleven now).  She claims she hates pink {gasp}! I ask what color she wants to paint her room.  Her favorite color is orange.  Orange?!  I hate orange!

So I’m wondering why I hate the color orange so much.  Oh. My. Gawd. Could it be because my room growing up – that my mother decorated – was orange!? Am I turning into my mother?!

I’ve already decided that the next house I build, I promise to let the kids pick out their own colors for their rooms. Now, let’s just hope I get that house built before they are all grown and moved out!

Of course, on my goal list, ideally I would like to be married first before building again. Because let’s face it, no one takes a woman as serious as a man when it comes to picking out bricks and shingles.

Dancing Away The Drama

Yes, I know I’ve been MIA for awhile.  I added a FriendFeed widget to the homepage to show that I have indeed been around and online, just crazy busy.  You can subscribe to my FriendFeed if you want to stalk me, or just see what I mostly do all day long. Sorry, I don’t sell sex toys as some people speculate.

So, here’s the condensed version of the recent happenings in da house…

My twins got confirmed on Palm Sunday. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that shopping for dresses for teens is exhausting.  And according to my daughter, I didn’t show enough cleavage to get out of the speeding ticket I got on our way home from the mall.

My son graduated high school and moved away to work for the summer. Ok, I didn’t think I’d actually ever say “they grow up so fast”, but well… (mumbling under breath)… He’ll be attending UNL in the fall – Go Huskers!

My “littlest, but biggest” brother gets married this coming weekend. I’ll add a picture from the bachelorette party at the end of the post (and my cleavage did slip out a bit that night).

Next week, I’m having surgery as I have a uterian fibroid tumor and have to have a total hysterectomy (more gory details).  That’s another reason I haven’t been blogging as much as I haven’t been feeling well the last couple months. But watch out for me after I’m recovered!  I asked if I could have some plastic surgery done while under the knife, but the doctor didn’t accede the idea.

I’ve decided if I rewrite my list of date application requirements, I’m going to add “Group Health Insurance” as a higher priority, as medical bills suck, especially for small business owners.  Where’s all this healthcare reform the new government administration promised us to save on healthcare?  And yes, I admit I voted for Obama.

Remember when I sold my house almost three years ago? Well, the gal that bought it has been unsuccessfully trying to sue me over things that I had no fault in for the past two years. I bit my tongue about the whole ordeal due to the whole “anything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law” Miranda warning.  And now that the case has finally been dismissed and the statue of limitations is up, I could re-tell the whole drawn out affair, but I’ve decided it’s best not to slander anyone. And trust me, I have way more juicier life stories I could tell.

So there’s what you’ve missed lately from the Queen of Snob Hill’s house. Yes, someone actually called me that.  I think being called a MILF would have been more flattering, but gotta take any homage I can get.

My mom, Me, my future Sister-in-law, my Sister

Wait, if I’m the Queen, I want my crown!  And a King! And servants, and…
