WTH- Wednesday

Posted on September 1, 2010 by ThePeachy1 in It's Juicy

Well Hello you sexy people ( that’s totally the code word for the 1 person that is reading this, yeah you. I think you’re hot and I am not calling you people because I think you are so fat you qualify to be plural, I say people in the plural form because I want it to look like there is more than 1 person reading this )

It’s Wednesday or WTH Wednesday.  Why?  It’s the one day of the week that does not have a “theme”.

Moronic Monday-  Tell it Tuesday-  Think about it Thursday-  Funny Stuff Friday  so this is my free flow day. I write what I want.

This week  I have been staying kind of busy and Doctor Kevorkian ( probably not his actual name, since he’s not actually a Doctor, it’s Probably PA Kevorkian, maybe) has been trying really hard to off me but thankfully my medical records don’t reveal I am part zombie so he can’t kill me nee nurr..  Jokes on you dude.

You guys have me so confused.  I know that’s not like splitting an atom,  at this point in my life opening a of box of pop tarts can be a mental task that involves an abacus, a texas instruments graphing calculator, cornstarch and a stunt butt double.  But really guys sometimes I just am so shocked I need to  facepalm my dog.  ( don’t worry he signed a waiver and we follow peta rules, he wears protective headgear and is compensated)

loki stunt dog in a helmet for trained facepalms approved by peta

See his cool helmet? yeah my graphics kind of suck

The thing that baffles me the most.

I get a ton of emails asking me for advice on parenting.   This baffles me.

Why this baffles me the most.

I make it clear, crystal clear, that I sucked and failed at parenting my oldest son.
( see career as fire twirling sock street performer)

I admittedly state that my daughter in college is an awesome person in spite of me not because of me.

I  mention how lucky I am that the prince is just a great little guy and we were lucky that the DNA Gods gave us such an easy kid this time around and knocking as hard as I can on all wood within a 2 mile radius that he is doing great so far.

So this makes me wonder.

Do the emails that come in ask for advice really want to know what I would do?  What I have done?  What I will do again?

Or is it a plot a ploy a plan.

Do they want to see what I will say then the reader will be all like “ok, let’s totally do the opposite and then use the money we saved from not putting our kids in therapy on going to Disney or Europe?”

Probably that last one.  I mean that makes sense.    It would be reasonable and most logical.

You guys know I am clearly all about being logical, {snort} yeah right..  See ya tomorrow. I am headed off to answer parenting emails.

PEACH OUT

Oh and since this is all about the kids and parenting and stuff like that..  Here’s something a great guy named Jason from OutnumberedisMe was asked to read a story to his kids class.  So he did what we all would do. He wrote a book. ( feel a little bit like a slacker now?)  yeah me too,  to make you feel even more like a big heel, he had it published and the procedes go to kids charities.  So click on over and order your book, send it to your little ones, or to a local school this will autoforgive the time you fed your kids raw ramen noodles when you had a hangover.   It’s called “Do Witches Make Fishes” If you can’t buy one right now, at least pass along the link that’s good for one autoforgive of eating the kids french fries.

Do Witches Make Fishes by Jason Mayo

Tell it Tuesday My Non Advice Column

Posted on August 31, 2010 by ThePeachy1 in Peachy Advice
Tell it Tuesday My NON advice column on BeingPeachy

Please be advised that I have NO expertise ( despite what the massive spam on my site that I block says). Except I remain in the top listing in google for the search term ” epic asshattedness” NOT MAKING THIS UP. Google it, I have been 3 and 4 for over 4 months. So proud.

But of course Jenny ( the bloggess)  got ranked number 4 for “mother f&*ker  last week so that stole my thunder ( sniff, sniff, again…)

So if you send in your question, which you’re totally welcome to do,  to beingpeachy@gmail.com, PULEEZE for the love of baby cheeses know that your advice is coming from someone who is known for “epic asshattedness”.

Dear ThePeachy1-

I am a blogger.  I have been for a little over 2 years, but who’s counting right?  The problem is.  I never get comments, no matter my topic.  I am not edgy and potty mouthed, is that what it takes to be famous?

signed,
Writing to myself

Dear Writing to Myself-   Holy shit you think I am famous?  Hell yeah you have to sell your soul like that old George Foreman grill at a yard sale and cuss like a sunker drailer and  be as edgy as that pointy stick at the dentist.   OK that’s a lie.  Honestly.  People blog for all reasons, some need a place to vent, some have areas of special interest,  some have a heart wrenching story, some are professionals, some are political, and some are just down right boring as hell because honestly reading about your ability to make a tutu for your dog out of recycled toilet paper tubes  is eye stabbing material enough on Facebook or twitter let alone on a blog.   Since I am so famous ( and not a real journalist) I didn’t check out your blog yet.  Also, that would be like real work, and then I would have to label you and I am anti label anti brand, and  like my ac filter, I have no plans on changing that.  Also this isn’t a real advice column and I am not going to mislead people by writing anything that could actually be construed as advice. So if you are writing for you, then just do it. If you’re writing for followers and comments, I can’t help you, if I could I would  actually be famous.  XO  ThePeachy1

***********************************************************

Dearest Peaches-

I have had the worst luck.  The second serious relationship in a row has crumbled.  My dog  needs hip replacement surgery and I again got passed over for a promotion.  To make matters worse someone backed into my new Volvo and then just drove off.  I don’t want to sound whiney but really, could it get any worse?

your advice is appreciated,
Down and Out

Dear Down and Out-  First rule of survivor club is NEVER say, ” could it get any worse”.  The answer is ALWAYS YES !   You could have actually lost your job instead of being passed over.  Someone could have backed over your dog and you could be driving a pinto instead of a Volvo. A relationship with one of those people could have worked out and they could have been a serial killer that makes human lamp shades.  So eat some ice cream, drink some wine, write a poem or whatever.  But if you are trying to write a country song try making yourself sound a little more like the rest of us.  Otherwise I would strongly suggest you stop looking in toilets for relationships.  The only thing there is poop, and YOU DRIVE A VOLVO?   I got nothing for ya.  Sorry    xoxo   ThePeachy1

*******************************************************

My Dear Peaches,

Please help. My daughter is 12 and since she went back to school this week our phone has rang off the hook. It’s boy’s. They call during dinner and they call past 10:00 pm.  Always boy’s. She doesn’t have a cell phone since I don’t think she needs one until she starts driving and or working. She is furious at me because I answer the phone, and if it’s dinner, or homework or after 8:30pm I explain we are busy or that it’s too late and they should try again at a more appropriate time.  She is so mad at me and calls me old fashioned.  I don’t want her to hate me or rebel against me or my rules but honestly is there no level of courtesy or respect in the world.

Sincerly,
Out of Touch Momma

Dear Out of Touch Momma-  You are my new hero of the day.  You aren’t out of touch, you’re in it, totally in it, and you’re in it to win it.  I am so proud you don’t think your 12 year old needs a cell phone and that certain times ( especially late at night) calls are not allowed.  STICK TO YOUR GUNS.  Remember, it’s never too early to make your kids start hating you and or your rules.  This allows them to want to get jobs, save money and move out.  Also my husband used to answer the phone when boys would call for our daughter in high school and say, ”  what do you want to speak to my daughter about son?”  They usually hyperventilated or hung up.  Was she embarrassed? Of course.  That’s your job as a parent, not to be a friend but to be the source of embarrassment to your child.  If they don’t come directly out and straight to your car after a school dance, make sure to be prepared like me.  I would warn them to follow the rules, if they didn’t. I would walk myself into the school dance, in a huge terry cloth robe, curlers in hair, cream on face, and yell, ”  Hey baby girl?  Momma’s here, hurry up,   Granddad is waiting on us and by the smell of it we will need to bathe him so come on quick.”   I can not tell you how effective this is.  Honestly my friends would ask me to take their kids to the school dances because they heard of my no holds barred style of parenting.  Hang in there, and remember, you will be the stupidest  person your child has ever met from age 12 until the day they become parents.  It is worth every second. Best of Luck xoxo ThePeachy1

**************************************

That’s it for this week people.  Please send in your questions even if they are crazy because I have around 50 I am avoiding answering because I can not find a nice way to tell them they are idiots.

PS- if you sent in your question I am not saying you’re the idiot who I am avoiding, but there is about a 1 in 50 chance.

XO

Moronic Monday- The ticket

Posted on August 30, 2010 by ThePeachy1 in Moronic Mondays

Today is Mornic Monday, so you get to hear a story about what a huge Moron I am and maybe that will make your Monday a little less suckified.

If you want to see my take on the Anniversary of Katrina go here, it’s not funny, so you probably want to say here.

Back elevnty kabillion years ago when I was a teenager. ( the 80’s)  The United States decided it would be an awesome idea to change over to the Metric System.  ( look that up on google under things American  tried and failed at).  To this day only athletic events and soda come in metric.  (ie: 5 k run and 2 liter of soda)

I am not sure how much money was spent changing all the speed limit signs to KMPR but it was a waste.  Fortunately for me it was a mistake that would help one day.

So I had this friend Sally, who I can only describe as an awesome friend yet a horrible influence.  And she danced around with Mary Jane a bit, and I was always the designated dork ( driver).

We lived in Central Florida and our car knew the route to Daytona Beach  better than the route to school because really?  I could not be bothered with my drunken social studies/drivers ed teacher when Daytona was just a speeding ticket away.

So Sally and her friend shook their groove thing with Mary Jane and then we headed to Daytona.

Sally, looked very Italian, but for some reason she had it in her precious little bonged out brain she looked oriental when she was “dancing”.   Why argue it’s pointless. Plus she really thought EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY.

We were  flying down the highway headed to Daytona while my education was getting farther and farther in my review mirror and that just made it a lovely day.

About 2/3rds of the way to our destination, I felt my stomach knot up. The blue lights of death. In the mirror. Breathing rapid, and sweating like a hooker on their way to Daytona busted for skipping school and about 30 other infractions.

My mind was blank, my heart was racing.  The cop walks up to the car and as I rolled down the window it looked like a cheech and chong movie, as smoke billowed out the crack

As luck would have it we pulled over right next to a sign like this.

You work with what you have on hand, and I did.

You work with what you have on hand, and I did.

COP:   Do you ladies realize you were speeding?

A deep subliminal part of my brain that took over for self preservation I said the following:

a giant over friendly smile came over my entire body and

I shouted,   “guter Tag, Offizier”

the cop looked at me and said.

Cop:- “you ladies you were going nearly 80 mph in a 50mph zone.”

I pointed to the sign and my dashboard and back and forth and smiled and looked like an idiot I said

Me:-“yeah sehr gut, Offizier- yeah,   80, yeah 80 sehr gut?????”

I smiled and pretended not to understand his English, and prayed he didn’t know what pitiful German I knew. It was last ditch effort to not get a ticket or go to jail.  I happily admit I was near 80, even the sign actually meant 50mph, or 80kmh and I was near 80mph.

I knew  about 10 words in German,  I faked it, because my guess what he didn’t know any German.

His face was confused and slightly agitated as he leaned over to look at my passenger, and into what could have only smelled like a friggin high school bathroom right after lunch.

He looks at Sally who is freaking out and I think she was eating the bag of oregano type looking stuff.

this was about 15 years after it happened but you get the idea.

this was about 15 years after it happened but you get the idea.

she places her hands together, squints her eyes, nods and says,

“assho”

is this an oriental word?  probably not.

Was the cop so busy laughing at our sad yet very inventive asses.  Yes.  He laughed and said, “OK, well Ms . German lady, get your oriental friend to a restaurant so she can get something to eat and I expect you to slow down.”

He then just walked away and drove off.

Don’t get me wrong people I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

But I wonder if and how he explained the German chick and the Italian Asian who smelled like cheech and chong.

Thank you Mr Cop dude.  We should have went up the river but you gave us extra credit for thinking outside the box.   I owe you.

So as you can see people, being a moron didn’t just happen, I fine tuned my Moronic Status over a period of decades.

Go forth and kick Monday in the nads,   I intend to.

XO

PEACH OUT.
