We've gotten in and then out of a contract on a house, shuttled kids here there and everywhere, and worked our butts off.  Bird started kindergarten this year, and the first week or so was rocky but now he's doing wonderfully.  Always comes home with reports of good behavior, and he's making all kinds of friends.  Bug is a little lost without his "deedee", but is also enjoying his alone time with my Nan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, for the big news...I'm getting married next Friday.  :)  HHF's divorce FINALLY finalized, and we're having a private ceremony next Friday, followed by a honeymoon, followed by a reception next Saturday.  :)  Which means that THIS Friday is my bachelorette party.  Me and 10 or so of the girls are headed to the Big City to raise some hell.

Well, this week the old woman pleasantly surprised me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She hates telemarketers with a fiery passion she usually reserves for people who shit on her family.  For a while, she got to the point that she stopped answering her phone when she didn't recognize the number on caller ID.  So the answering machine always kicked on, and that's when inspiration struck her.  Her new message goes something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hi, you've reached Miss Kitty's Porn Studio.  If you are interested in a new career, please leave your name and address, and we'll send you an application.  Be sure to enclose a nude photo when you send it back.  You have a nice day now!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I did this, it wouldn't be nearly as funny.  But out of my 68-year old grandma?

This morning, as usual, I travelled the twenty minutes to work deep in thought, and during the course of this, I had two important realizations.  The first is that my papaw is dying.  He's been sick for a long time, and he has ups and downs, but always gets better.  So since his latest illness, I've been telling myself he's going to get better, he always does.  But it finally hit me this morning that this is the last time.  I've been pushing it out of my mind, ignoring what everyone has been telling me about how there's nothing more the doctors can do, they're putting him in hospice, but it's going to be a long time...Then like everything does, it hit me in the car, alone, and I started crying.  I realized that it's too late to talk to him about all the things I've been meaning to talk to him about and to visit all the times I've meant to visit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second is that I'm no longer fantasizing about suicide.  I don't give off a suicidal vibe.  Most people who know me don't realize how intensely depressed I can and have gotten at different times over the last couple of years.  When I was contemplating leaving the ex, I frequently considered what would happen if I ran off the road and died.  Would my kids be better off without me?  Would anyone even care?  Did I care?  The fact that I couldn't definitively answer yes to the first question is the only thing that kept me from doing it.  That and the fact that I wasn't sure if I'd actually die, and after watching my parents suffer from injuries from car accidents, I didn't really want to go through all that.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this morning I hydroplaned a little.  And I corrected and it was all good.  But it hit me that I didn't have a brief moment of relief at the thought that this might be it.  And that in fact, I hadn't contemplated it for a long time. Because even as frustrated as I got with HHF's divorce, and my job, overall, life is worth it.  And at this point, it feels like it always will be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4173891361963394316-4991539686379732170?l=hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/feeds/4991539686379732170/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4173891361963394316&amp;postID=4991539686379732170' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/4991539686379732170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/4991539686379732170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/2009/08/realizations.html' title='Realizations'/><author><name>Hillbilly Princess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05609739054449255314</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k5eRIwG-CbM/SRsHPQvxdRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/zmQMU2xoz34/S220/IMG_0879%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173891361963394316.post-2204144552793425537</id><published>2009-07-04T20:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-04T21:08:15.045-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pancakes, Road Kill Style</title><content type='html'>I saw him sitting there from about 100 feet away.  I admired his tiny cuteness as he put his little paws up to his mouth and stuffed something in his cheek pouches.  I watched him put his paws down and crouch as he became aware of my vehicle barreling towards him.  I diligently guesstimated how to straddle him with my tires to preserve his tiny self in all his cuteness.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a good judge of distance.  My tire hit him like a rolling pin hits dough, or a pasta roller makes noodles.  He was instantly compressed into a round chipmunk fur disk, which I gazed at, horrified, in the rearview mirror.  A tiny segment of my day, but one I spent more time than appropriate beating myself up about.  I make big decisions that affect people's lives everyday, but I agonized over the fate of one slightly suicidal chipmunk for hours.  Rational?  Probably not entirely.  But the people I deal with have a lot more options than that poor chipmunk, who chose to hunker down and wait for me to pass instead of zigzagging around in a panic on the asphalt.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4173891361963394316-2204144552793425537?l=hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/feeds/2204144552793425537/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4173891361963394316&amp;postID=2204144552793425537' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/2204144552793425537'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/2204144552793425537'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/2009/07/pancakes-road-kill-style.html' title='Pancakes, Road Kill Style'/><author><name>Hillbilly Princess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05609739054449255314</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k5eRIwG-CbM/SRsHPQvxdRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/zmQMU2xoz34/S220/IMG_0879%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173891361963394316.post-6433598759715459729</id><published>2009-06-05T16:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-05T16:33:38.082-07:00</updated><title type='text'>SURPRISE!</title><content type='html'>I called my grandma to let her know I was on my way to get the boys.

Now when we move, we have Fat Cat, Fatter Cat (who's currently at the humane society but is coming once we're moved into our house), Big Dumb Dog (also at the humane society), possibly another puppy if there are boxers left, AND a kitten.  Can you say menagerie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the important part of this post...we're buying a house if the appraisal goes well.  We're waiting for the results.  Keep your fingers crossed.  Hence all the animals.  I had to talk them into Fat Cat when I moved here and I promised no other pets.  We had the illicit rabbit (RIP Halle Bunny) but she was mostly in the garage.

And I thought about how, when I was little, my grandma drove like a bat out of hell.  I mean, 60 mph and hollering.  Once, I was helping her move, and we got to the new house with a load, and she goes, "Where's my toaster?"  I saw it on the way back to get another load.  Her crazy ass had went around a curve too fast, and the toaster was roadkill.  But that was before I could even drive myself.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now?  She drives like, well, a grandma.

Then I'll brave imminent arrest (it's cool, I have a badge) and slippy slide to my grandma's for heat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4173891361963394316-7519886332427422996?l=hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/feeds/7519886332427422996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4173891361963394316&amp;postID=7519886332427422996' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/7519886332427422996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/7519886332427422996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/2009/01/snow-day.html' title='Snow day!'/><author><name>Hillbilly Princess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05609739054449255314</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k5eRIwG-CbM/SRsHPQvxdRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/zmQMU2xoz34/S220/IMG_0879%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173891361963394316.post-308003686650331128</id><published>2009-01-25T18:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-26T06:29:35.168-08:00</updated><title type='text'>This post brought to you by...the letter H!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.livitluvit.com"&gt;LiLu&lt;/a&gt; always has the fun ideas, like TMI Thursday and this one, which asks you to write ten things you love that start with your randomly assigned letter.  Mine is "H".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to participate, leave a comment on this post and I will assign you a letter. You then write about 10 things you love that begin with your assigned letter and post them on your blog. When people comment on your posted list, you give them a letter and the chain continues on and on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) HHB of course.  Also of course not his real name, but it's what I call him here.  Even when we fight and I feel like punching him in the throat, I still adore him.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Hillbillies.  They get a bad rap, but the honest to god hillbillies I know are hardworking, honest, loyal people.  And yes, they have all their teeth.  That Snuffy Smith stereotype is just as offensive to those of us who are actual Appalachians as blackface is to African-Americans.  Think of that next time you start telling some joke that involves a "Billy Bob" and less than a full mouth of teeth.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Hippy poptarts.  That's what I call them, but they're really organic poptarts I got at TJs the first time, and then I found them in the organic sections at Kroger and Giant Eagle, also.  Some of my mommy board friends sneer, but I love that they're whole grain and the fruit tastes like...fruit.  What a novel concept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Halle Bunny.  She's our pet rabbit.  We keep her in her hutch too much, but she's a little bitch sometimes when we try to get her out of the cage.  She doesn't always appreciate that we're trying to do right by her.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Heat.  I'm freezing about 80% of the time.  The rest of the time, I'm snuggled under the covers with HHB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Health Insurance.  I haz it.  Finally.  I've been uninsured for over a year at this point, and that was after a period of about a year of being insured, which was preceded by, you guessed it, no insurance.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Home.  I'm not here nearly enough, so I appreciate every second that I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) Hellboy.  Both movies. I have a ridiculous attachment to them, even though they're goofy as hell in places.  I pink puffy heart Hellboy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) HC, my stomping grounds.  I love it here, it's good to be a big fish in a little pond, and it still feels as good to be back home as it did four years ago when the Ex and I moved back down here after I finished law school.  I am not cut out for the big city.  It's nice to visit, but I can't live there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) Humping.  Not what I usually call it, but it fits the category.  I never do anything even close to this kinky, (nor do I want to) but I got this video on my MySpace and it's so hilarious I have to share:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WEXUIABC1Zw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WEXUIABC1Zw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because I'm feeling generous, some things that start with H that I don't like.  Hickies, hookers, hypocrites,the hours I keep these days, and my HUGE ass.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come play!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4173891361963394316-308003686650331128?l=hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/feeds/308003686650331128/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4173891361963394316&amp;postID=308003686650331128' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/308003686650331128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/308003686650331128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-post-brought-to-you-bythe-letter-h.html' title='This post brought to you by...the letter H!'/><author><name>Hillbilly Princess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05609739054449255314</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k5eRIwG-CbM/SRsHPQvxdRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/zmQMU2xoz34/S220/IMG_0879%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173891361963394316.post-394458859252276681</id><published>2009-01-19T12:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-19T12:52:48.974-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Birdisms, Vol. 2</title><content type='html'>This morning I was trying to change Bug and Bird was like, "Mommy!

It hurtz.</title><content type='html'>That's LOLSpeak for misery.  Why am I miserable, you ask?  In the order that they occurred to me or I found out about them, not the order of importance:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The budget for my office got cut substantially from what I asked.  It was already as tight as I could make it.  I may be able to get more money at the end of the year, but I hate depending on that possibility.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) It appears that there will be no going away anything for me at the office.  I didn't expect a big to-do, but a luncheon or a little festive get together for fifteen minutes to say goodbye and good luck and make an effort to at least pretend they'd miss me would be nice.  :(  Four years of my life, and my boss is like an uncle or something, you know?  It's not like I work for MegaCorp.  Maybe I'm jumping the gun on the self pity and they'll do something tomorrow, but no one has mentioned anything.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)  My cousin is 30 weeks pregnant and in the hospital.  She's been having chest pain and trouble breathing and they think it could be a blood clot, so they're watching her.  Please keep her in your thoughts, this is her first baby and she's already overwhelmed.  And her husband can't take care of himself, as sweet as he is, so he's probably worried about her and/or starving to death.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After my grandma called me, I felt like a whiny little shit about the office thing.  It's just a hurt feelings thing, I'm not pissed, and I WANT to be cool about it, but I can't.  Damn Pisces emotional personality anyway.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4173891361963394316-1512180360158433618?l=hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/feeds/1512180360158433618/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4173891361963394316&amp;postID=1512180360158433618' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/1512180360158433618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/1512180360158433618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-hart-it-hurtz.html' title='My hart.

Because I'm the expert you know, being, well, a woman.  Clearly that means that I know what ALL women want, just like I know what all white people want...all attorneys...all moms...you get the idea.  (BTW, there's a whole blog titled "Things White People Like" or something like that, if you're interested in a little funny.)  I know the concept is a little presumptuous.  But maybe, just maybe, as a way of giving all men a clue, I can help HHB deal with the constantly changing array of moods that is me.  So really this is about me and him, couched in a more general "What Women Want" kind of style.  It all comes back to me, because this is my freaking blog, the one place in the world where I can indulge my inner attention whore.  And yes, I know some of you are saying "inner"?  What INNER attention whore, that's all on the surface.  Bite me, bitches.  ;)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's clue is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women want to be taken care of.  Hold your horses, girls, I'm not done.  We like being taken care of.  What we don't like is being made to feel like we HAVE to be.  So indulge us, pamper us, but always let us know that YOU know that we could do it ourselves.  It's not that we can't, it's that we deserve not to have to.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By way of being taken care of, we enjoy sweet emails, phone calls for no reason, and small things almost as much as the big gifts.  Note, however, that these are NOT substitutes for nice things for Christmas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4173891361963394316-1921486395814940647?l=hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/feeds/1921486395814940647/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4173891361963394316&amp;postID=1921486395814940647' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/1921486395814940647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/1921486395814940647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/2008/12/clue-for-you.html' title='A Clue For You'/><author><name>Hillbilly Princess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05609739054449255314</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k5eRIwG-CbM/SRsHPQvxdRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/zmQMU2xoz34/S220/IMG_0879%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173891361963394316.post-6816250286168709323</id><published>2008-12-01T20:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-01T20:57:46.435-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Fairy Tale....</title><content type='html'>Once upon a time there was a moderately attractive princess who had a new-to-her carriage that she loved very much.  We'll call her Princess Passive-Aggressive, because well, she is.  Anyway, Princess Passive-Aggressive and Prince Hot Hippy Boyfriend were driving home from a trip to the Magical Fairy Land mortals call Black Friday, when a foolish Frog who shall never, ever become a prince drove his carriage right out in front of Princess Passive-Aggressive's beautiful new-to-her carriage, smashing it all up.  Now Princess Passive-Aggressive has to depend on Prince Hot Hippy Boyfriend to transport her to and from work until Evil Frog Boy calls his minions and tells them they are in fact his minions so that they'll pay for a rental carriage.  Princess Passive-Aggressive is more aggressive than passive at this news.  She wants to step on the evil Frog and squish his awful froggy guts right out of him.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is the happily ever after, you say?  Stay posted.

He got up this morning and came in my room, and when I lifted the covers for him, he said, "No, I'm not coming to get in bed, I'm coming to remind you I'm going to work with you today!"  Oh, if only it were that exciting for me to come here everyday.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the car on the way in, I asked him what he wanted Santa to bring him.  The following conversation ensued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bird: Um...I want a MONSTER TRUCK!&lt;br /&gt;Me (thinking fast): I don't think Santa can fit that on the sleigh.  &lt;br /&gt;Him (thinking faster): He could just DRIVE it!&lt;br /&gt;Me (still on my toes): What about the reindeer?&lt;br /&gt;Him (reminding me why I should have had more caffiene before embarking on this conversation): He could tie them to the back.  &lt;br /&gt;Me(still not admitting defeat): What about the sleigh?&lt;br /&gt;Him: He could tie it to the back, too.  &lt;br /&gt;Me (with my ace in the hole): What about the presents?&lt;br /&gt;Him: He could put them in the trunk.  Do monster trucks have trunks?&lt;br /&gt;Me (feeling more hopeful): No, they have beds.  &lt;br /&gt;Him (clearly not understanding that lots of things could be hauled in a truck bed): Then Santa could drive ANOTHER car with the presents.&lt;br /&gt;Me (jumping up and down with glee on the inside, I have him now): How can Santa drive two cars at the same time?&lt;br /&gt;Him: Because he's MAGIC!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DAMN DAMN DAMN!!

It's just me and Bird and Bug.  Bird actually hung out with my grandma part of the day, but came home around 3.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After dealing with them all day, I'm ready to tear my hair out.  They're really good till about 6:30 or 7 usually, and then all hell breaks loose.  For the last hour, if one of them wasn't screaming, the other was.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I owe my Ex some super good Christmas cookies for all those weekends he watched them while I was campaigning.  I know they're his kids and his responsibility too, but right now they're lucky they're too old to qualify for the safe haven law.

Since he got home in July, I have managed to avoid contact with Evil Ex, which is probably good after the incident when he was home in May on leave and she called me a whore.  The urge to stab her in the face everytime I think of her is damn near overwhelming, god knows how I'll overcome it when she's actually in front of me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My greatest fear is that she'll say something snarky about my boys.  They're perfect of course, but she's not above saying something about them out of spite.  After all, she did basically call my youngest a bastard.  (No, he isn't, in case there was any doubt.)  Hot Hippy Boyfriend (who was then just Hot Hippy Best Friend) was not even in the country when Bug was conceived.  Anyway, all of you that have kids know that when someone goes on the attack against your babies, that red lens goes down across your eyes and all you can think is "kill kill kill".  Add that to the already present urge to do stabbity things and I'm thinking Hot Hippy Boyfriend should have invested in a Hannibal Lector suit before he takes me in her vicinity again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I'll just grit my teeth and keep reminding myself what I was telling someone on Facebook today.  A good life is the best revenge, and the only thing she rocks harder than me is Guitar Hero.  And that's only because I have a job, friends, great kids, and Hot Hippy Boyfriend to occupy my time, so I don't get a lot of practice.  I'd feel sorry for her...except my brain is still screaming "kill kill kill" for that bastard campaign she went on.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4173891361963394316-5448581825394804210?l=hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/feeds/5448581825394804210/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4173891361963394316&amp;postID=5448581825394804210' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/5448581825394804210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4173891361963394316/posts/default/5448581825394804210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hillbillyprincess.blogspot.com/2008/11/oh-good-times.html' title='Oh Good Times'/><author><name>Hillbilly Princess</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05609739054449255314</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_k5eRIwG-CbM/SRsHPQvxdRI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/zmQMU2xoz34/S220/IMG_0879%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173891361963394316.post-4499568479495837696</id><published>2008-11-14T07:43:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T07:57:33.179-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm so there!</title><content type='html'>The food show!
