Ridiculous Girl

I’d like to take you back…...back to a cold and wet afternoon in May.  That day, I posted a video in which I was VERY frustrated about the state of my lawn.  Do you remember this video?? Of course you do!  You remember EVERYTHING I do!  Because you are all TRUE FANS!! For the rest of you who do not remember……..…you are dead to me.  Please stop following me immediately. Anyway, where was I?   Oh yes!  I was reminding my TRUE FANS of a video I posted at the beginning of May – where I introduced you to LAWN WARS!  A competition that I have every year with my neighbors to compete for the best lawn at the end of the summer. If you recall, I was slightly nervous during this video, because there were many wet and drizzly days in May, perfect for initial grass fertilization, yet I was behind in my lawn maintenance, and had yet to do this crucial first step in achieving the most beautiful lawn in all the la...

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Hey! Ridiculous Girl!  Remember when you used to do your TOP 20 things we don't know about you?  Remember how funny those were??  Why don't you re-post the first one?  Just in case your new audience has no idea what we're talking about!" Guys.......that is an EXCELLENT idea!! And now.......(drum roll please)....... for your reading pleasure..... the very FIRST Top 20 Things you don't know about Ridiculous Girl.  Resurrected from 2013!!   It's an oldie....but a goodie ;) Enjoy xo 1.  Once I fell asleep on my arm and I lost the feeling in it.   When I woke up, I saw an arm beside my head and I started screaming. I thought there was a dead body in bed with me. 2.  I never lose socks in the wash.  Never.  This is something you can't learn.  You must be born with such a talent. 3.  I hate when people have "flip-up" garbage cans ...

In a relationship, it is very important to like your significant other's best friends.    If you do not, then it's only a matter of time before the bubble that you and your beau are perpetually smooching in eventually bursts.   Having met Handsome Guy through my cousin, I already knew that he had awesome friends.  I mean....it's my family after all.....c'mon!?  They're the best! So, soon after we started dating, I introduced him to MY girlfriends.   And one by one, the verdicts came back.    They loved him :)   My one coworker is slightly infatuated with him actually. The other day at work she asked me "Leo, did you dream about your boyfriend last night??" I stopped typing and looked up at the ceiling to ponder this question.  I finally looked over at her and answered, "No hun. I didn't.  Why??" She didn't look up from her computer but she smirked. And then she responded coyly,  "I did". O...

Last year, and right before Hallowe’en, my youngest daughter Molly asked to watch the movie Maleficient. Knowing that it was a bit scary, I tried to convince her against it.  But being the brave lil 6 year old that she is, she was determined to watch it.   In fact, she once asked me if I would give her permission to watch The Walking Dead. "Ummmmmmm.....NO!????"   was my reply, to which she burst out laughing.  Insert eye roll here. Anyway, she's definitely a kid that's NOT scared.

Halfway through the film, I overheard a conversation between my sister and Molly. “You see Molly, Maleficient is not evil, she’s just mis...
