Jeez; Will You Just Post To Your Blog Already?!?!

I hear this all the time. Mostly from my friends, but that who I want reading. I want to leave them with a chuckle and wanting more. I must be doing a good job because as the summer gets busier and I put blogging on the back burner for more pressing things (facebook, Multiple Mamas, BFF wedding stuff), I am hearing more and more that the people want more. More from me. More wit. More honesty. More swearing and embarrasing stories. So I am going to try to get back into the swing of things. Not every night; but I am aiming for once or twice a week. The thing is, I love blogging. I have a big mouth and a lot of opinions and I have a LOT to say. With no one to really say it to. I miss blogging. As I am typing this out I know it will sound like a rough draft but I love that about my blog enteries. That they flow more like thoughts and conversations than a novel. I don't want perfect scenerios and set-ups. I want to get these thoughts out of my head and feel social. I want to make my friends laugh. I miss my friends tremendously and I miss laughing with them, talking with them, feeling comfortable with them. So I promise to try. Well, I promise to try to try. LOL Actually, I can't make any promises. So I'll just try. To try. And that's all. LOL!!!

"So... what's going on tonight?", you ask. Not much. I spent the rest of Gwenny's birthday money on the Fisher Price Precious Places stuff that she wanted so badly at Toys R Us tonight. I was able to pick up the palace a week or two ago, and decided to wait for the rest of the line since she's been talking about it for months now and REALLY loved the castle. Tonight I picked up the hot air balloon, the horse and carriage, and the purple princess. No doubt we'll get the rest for her for Christmas. Which is fine because she just loves it.

Anyway, getting all these toys got me wondering why the FUCK do kids toys come in all this ridiculous packaging?! Sure, it looks pretty, but what 4 year old cares what the box looks like? They only want what's inside the box as fast as humanly possible, which was before they tore the wrapping paper off it. And once you pry the box open, another whole world of packaging shit awaits: twist ties with titanium running through them, plastic tie wrap things that serve no purpose other than to wrap the twist ties around, more tape and glue than one would think was needed to hold a single toy in place, holding stands for the people so they don't move and aren't stealable. It's fucking stupid what a pain in the ass it is to open a toy. It's not fair to the kids, and it's not fair to the parents of said children, screaming, "OPEN IT, OPEN IT, OPEN IT!" while thier fingers bleed cutting industrial scotch tape and cardboard with their bare hands. Who thought these packaging options were a good idea? Some executive asshole at Fisher Price who thinks kids are drawn to shiny packaging? The parents buy the toys, retards!!!! And parents want easy open, for happy kids. Plain boxes, or even bags, with a simple printed picture of the toy contained within would be suitable packaging. All you'd have to do is open it and spill the parts out. Like Legos used to come, remember? A bucket full of Legos and all you'd do is cut the tape, pop the top and pour. You knew what was inside. It siad "LEGO" all over the friggen container. But it was EASY. Not to mention environmentally friendly. No muss, no fuss, no mess, no waste. Take a hint Fisher Price. That guy that came up with the fancy packaging ideas needs to be fired and by doing so I just saved your company $2.2 Billion dollars this year alone. DUH ASSHOLES!!!! I DO have to do all the thinking around here!!! Jeez!

Much Love,
