- I look forward to flossing my teeth each night before bed. I got new dental floss yesterday and I was giddy about using it. I couldn’t wait!
- Don’t ask me why but my husband and I have already discussed funeral arrangements. I’m going to blame it on our current NetFlix queue of the entire series of Six Feet Under. Anywho, I have known for a while now that I want to be cremated and this bothers my husband (who apparently prefers to rot away in the ground and be eaten by worms) to no end. When I asked him why it bothered him so much this was his response: “But baby, if you’re cremated, then we can’t come back as zombies together.”
- Today is double Coke Reward day at mycokerewards.com. It’s only double points on codes from 12 packs. Lucky for me I just did a huge order of soda for my program, so I had a lot of codes from 12 packs.
- With my double points from My Coke Rewards, I finally was able to secure a subscription to Cosmopolitan. They bumped up the points from 180 to 252, hopefully to discourage so many people from choosing that reward and therefore having it sell out before yours truly was able to secure one. But this time with the help of double points, I was able to snag one! Now in 4-6 weeks I will finally have a free subscription to one of the best magazines on the planet. Yay!
- I’m the queen of free. My aunt taught me at a very young age that “free is good, I like free” and I haven’t looked back since. This Cosmo subscription will be the third free magazine subscription I’ve gotten this year!
- While pulling off the codes from 12 packs this morning I felt a stray hair on my shoulder so I reached up to grab it away (I hate stray hairs!) except it definitely wasn’t a hair…oh no…it was one of these:
- That certainly started my day off one the right foot!
I wonder how many of you just screamed…be honest!

*kisses*

ughhh i just almost puked instead. and i think i had a bad dream about spiders. YIKES!
Happy Hump Day
I would have flipped the EFF out. OMG.
Ahhh! NO NO SPIDERS! That’s just wrong! Too early for spiders and crap.
Zombies, eh? I can acutally see him saying this. Lol.
I didn’t scream, but I definitely shuddered and said, “EWWWW!!!!” Spiders are so digusting!
Not to overshadow the goodness in your post, but dear god that’s a scary spider. Blech.
Ew! That really made me shudder. I hate spiders!
ACK! Spiders are the worst! Well right after snakes and scorpions. And yes, I most definitely would have screamed.
Yeah, I got one of those free subscriptions. Donate $150 to NPR and get a free subscription to The New Yorker. And to be honest? It was the best $150 I’ve spent so far this year. I love that magazine!
I.HATE.SPIDERS!
OMG I would have screamed! Hate, hate, HATE spiders. Ugh.
I didn’t scream, but I did almost pass out. Thanks for that.
I want free magazines! Totally jealous
And I totally hate spiders and that probably would have caused me to run away screaming.
I would have started screaming bloody murder if that spider landed on my shoulder.
I am going to be totally honest and tell you I didn’t scream but I did open my mouth and make a quiet singing scary sound that means, I would have definitely screamed if it had had been me and probably ran out of the house like a lunatic.
One of THOSE?! Holy crap!
I’m the same way when I get a new toothbrush, but it usually fades pretty quickly.
I would not have screamed. But only b/c I would have been in shock. I would have quickly squished it and then started breathing again. I acutally like spiders, but not when they surprise me. Or are ON me.
Hey Miriam…Just spent a couple of hours trying to catch up with your life for that past 5 months…I’m back and wanted to let you know since I think you were my only reader.
i would have flipped out if i found a spider on my shoulder, definitely not the way to start off a morning.
and your husband’s right, how are you going to be a zombie if you get cremated? haha.
I couldn’t even pull it together enough to scream… I just gasped so hard that I think I pulled a muscle in my chest!!!
1) I, too, enjoy flossing very much.
2) Six Feet Under is one of my all-time favorite shows! But onto funeral arrangements… I read a book called “Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers” and decided (and my husband knows this) that if I die, I want to be made into compost and I want a tree planted. If human composting isn’t available, I told him to bury me in a pine box in the backyard. It’s biodegradable. I don’t want a big hurrah.
3) I need to learn your free tricks! I love Cosmo!
4) Holy hell… I’d freak the f out if that’s what I pulled off of me!
no scream from me, but i did shudder noticeably.
The student surpasses the teacher. Free IS good.
Wait…the finale for 6 feet is one of the best finales ever.
Dontcha love Claire and her lime green hearst–not to mention Patricia Clarkson, Kathy Bates, and Joanna Cassidy? Enjoy.
Gah. I would have freaked out if that thing was on me.
i died on the inside when i got to the part about the spider. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
but seriously, lady, kudos that you can keep smiling after that!
p.s. i would have babies with six feet under, it’s that good.
ewwww spiders! I wanna be creamted too actually. I think being buried is morbid and creepy.
Oh no! You like Cosmo?! Oh LSpoon, no! Explore explore before you confine yourself to one of my least favourite magazines in the world!
