Shannon gets in trouble

Recently I was contacted by a company called CSN Stores asking if I would like to do a review or give away. I browsed around there store and I was dumbfounded by all of the things they had. Bar furniture, kids things, kitchen stuff, purses ugggg the list went on. I had to close it when I got to the kid section because I started getting caught up in things like this (I don't even like bunk beds), and this (TRIPLE BUNK BEDS WHO KNEW!!!) I got out of there and some how stumbled into housewares which somehow led me to the recycling bin area where I saw this..Just what I've always wanted a trash/recycle bin for my kitchen. I headed over to the hand bag area and that is when I found this ridiculously cute diaper clutch. Right about then I knew I had to stop browsing because I DON'T USE DIAPERS MY KIDS ARE POTTY TRAINED! I had all but made up my mind that I was taking that $60.00 and running. But alas, I like you my dear readers so I am going to give it to you instead. (Round of applause please)

Here is the game. In my last post I discussed my issue with not having my purse/wallet/ID case when I went somewhere. My mom commented that perhaps I needed a smaller purse. So, I would first like to show you why that won't work either.

This is my every day purse. It is my beloved Lucky purse that I just had to have. Everyone told me it was too big.



Everyone did not know how much stuff I NEEDED to carry with me. Here we have the contents of my purse!



My wallet.



My bag of necessities (epi pen, xannax, motrin, oragel, etc)



My bag of other necessities (tooth brush, tooth paste, gum, and fancy smelling lotion) (side note you should always have fancy smelling lotion in your bag you never know who you might need to woooo with your delicious apple smell)



My notebook, journal, and pens.



My medical stuff. the boys medical records, my records (med dosage, dr visits etc) and all of our insurance cards and doctors information.



and of course my keys



And my variety of purses IN EVERY SIZE.



So you can clearly see that having a smaller bag is not an issue, I have EVERY SIZE OF BAG.

Here is what happens when I try and carry a smaller bag



The girl stuff gets all pushy with the kids essentials bag, my notebook gets drown, my wallet cries because the pen holder is pinching it and THIS DOESN'T WORK.

I could lose the girl essentials (begrudgingly)



And things fit just fine.

Here though is the actual real problem. The root of it all. NO MATTER WHAT I hate carrying any purse unless it is totally necessary. What I've learned is that I prefer to simply have my phone and ID case. I stick those in my pocket and away I go.

But Shannon what if you don't have pockets (gasp)?

Never fear my lovely friends I always have a pocket. For those of you with kids in diapers you know that they have a terrible habit of shoving things in their diaper and calling it a "pocket." Well folks meet my "pocket."



Yup. There you have it. My pocket. I discovered this while I was at the gym. I needed somewhere to put my phone/iPod so I stuck it in my sports bra while running. I liked that idea so I tried it out a few times while shopping around. I liked that even more so I figured, "hey why not stick your ID case in there and be gone."

Best idea ever. So yes if you run into me now there is about a 90% chance you will see either my phone, or ID case (or both) crammed in my bra.

So it's settled. Purse, no purse, wallet, whatever I will still end up with my goodies stuffed in my bra. Like I said before the real issue is remembering to grab my purse with my wallet from my house and put it in my car. Or remembering that my ID case was in some jeans pockets. The purse has nothing to do with me remembering to put the necessities in my actual car.

But Shannon didn't you say there was a give away?

I did! I did!

Update

Update on the brownies:

There are still two brownies left. It was touch and go there for a while and I was not sure they would survive the night. Somehow they made it safely and I can spend the day knowing my brownies are safe and sound waiting for me at home.

And then God himself blessed me with his magic stick

Last night I was feeling pretty sorry for myself. I was having a sad day and all I wanted was some brownies. I was telling everyone and there mom about this and finally decided to make some. I marched in my kitchen grabbed what I needed and then promptly began pouting as I realized I had neither vegetable oil or applesauce. So I walked over to my computer and whined to everyone about it. That's when Ginger pops on yahoo with this little link:

ging @ 6:57 http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/smore-brownies-recipe/index.html 6:57 ummm, can there be anything better?

Shannon Mateo @ 7:08 uggg 7:08why do you do that shit to me 7:08 i have everything right now but graham crackers dammit ging @ 7:09 i have everything, included toasted coconut marshmallows, it is taking all the will power i have in the world not to make them right now

At that point her Internet crashed. So I frantically texted her YOU MUST MAKE THESE NOW! She replied that she would but I figured it would be like the time she said she would bring me peach cobbler and didn't, and don't even get me started on the whole "YOU MADE TIRAMISU AND DIDN'T BRING ME ANY FUCKING FUCKER" debacle.

Suddenly an IM pops up
ging @ 11:45 Dude these brownies are like the porn of brownies

My eyes lit up. SHE HAD MADE THE BROWNIES. Now, I just had to make sure they somehow ended up at my house. We chatted a little and she casually asked if I wanted the brownies now or later. While I obviously wanted the brownies 5 hours ago and was ready to come to her house and lick her floor in search of crumbs I very nonchalantly replied "ehh, whenever's clever."

I came home tonight and busied myself with dinner. At one point I decided Ginger forgot me and I would not be getting any delicious brownies. Suddenly my phone made a noise. I had a text. My heart dropped. I just knew it was Ginger texting to say she wasn't coming. I moped over to my phone and read it;

"I'm at your door."

I looked up and sure enough there she was. An angel of God on my door step with the most beautiful little tinfoil package I've ever seen. She came in, we made small talk, I scarfed down my dinner, set my oven to warm and busied myself pretending to look busy. Finally it was time. I pulled out my fork and opened it up.

Today at work I pulled up a picture of the brownies and sadly lamented about how I would probably never taste them.


The most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I had totally forgotten she had the coconut marshmallows. I put my fork in and the marshmallows turned into a beautiful taffy goodness. A long string of marshmallow followed the fork all the way to my mouth.

Oh shit.

Porn of brownies was an understatement. These fuckers are like the porn of life. They are like the best sex you ever had but with toasted coconut marshmallows. Then I poured a glass of milk which was like a tall glass of ohjesusfuckinglordy to go with my brownies. These aren't just porn, these brownies should come with a disclaimer.

WARNING: Eat these brownies with a clean pair of underwear handy because they are that good!

I finished the night thinking that although today was pretty shitty, things were looking up. The rest of the week looks pretty good too because I happen to know I have two more orgasm brownies left.

Snot

I brought Codi into bed with me around 5am this morning. He snuggled up on my arm and started snoring in my ear. Around 7 I looked over at him because I love to watch him sleep.

Only, thats when I felt it. Snot starting to drip out of my nose. I wanted to reach for a Kleenex but Codi was on my arm.

I had no choice, but to turn my head the other way and let the snot roll back into my brain.

As I lay there this morning I thought, "so that is how this day will be huh....no matter what I do there is going to be snot."

VS

Do you ever sit there at your desk and stare at your yogurt wishing it was a big fat brick of chocolate?

I hate when I'm at the store and I'm thinking, yogurt and fruit VS chocolate and ice cream. I always make the right choice, get home and think WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T I BUY THE CHOCOLATE. Now, I'm sitting here at work staring at my sons whole grain extra fiber chocolate poptart thinking, "do you think he would miss it if it was gone, because this pineapple yogurt just ain't doing it for me."

I'm fucking exhausted today. For some reason exhaustion makes me feel like hoovering some ramen and chocolate donuts.

But then again, being happy makes me want ramen and donuts. Being sad makes me want ramen and donuts. Anger makes me want a double ramen with a side of donuts. Come to think of it, there is never a time in my life when I'm not thinking about ramen.

What do you suppose they put that stuff? Is it similar to soda? I think they put crank in that stuff because fuck I can't stop thinking about the curly noodly goodness of ramen. I'm like a little ramen addict. I got five bucks how much ramen can I get for that?

My pineapple yogurt is done and it didn't satisfy my craving for sweets, instead it made me want a pineapple upside down cake.

And yes, before you ask, I am on my period and PMSing. What do you want to do about it huh?

Cristina you better fucking get on those brownies.
