I’m trying to write a post here, but I’m too distracted. I’m writing in front of the TV, as I always do, and Tila Tequila: Shot at Love 2 is on. Usually I can tune this show out and write no problemo — nonchalantly looking up when fists are flying, or peeps are rolling in paint or wrestling in chocolate. But, tonight’s show is CRAZY. Tonight, Tila meets the parents. And, it’s so crazy it’s hilarious. Right now, for example, THIS is TOTALLY cracking me up (and I can’t believe I’m posting this, but you’ll laugh):

Was that HILARIOUS? Or, am I just delirious because I had ZERO sleep last night (because there is still ZERO air conditioning in my house and still ZERO sign of this heatwave ending and still ZERO hope that Rascal will EVER sleep through the night), and, therefore, I must look totally UGGERS — since most of the beauty tips coming in at the Cheaty Goodies Contest so far say SLEEP is the GOLDEN ELIXIR of beauty! I am in TROU-BLE!

LIKEOMIGOSH, Gorgeouses! Now Tila’s hooking up with the other guy’s MOTHER! EEEEEEeeee! Mom’s showing everyone her breasts! Now STEPMOM is doing it! They’re KISSING!

I gotta go. OMIGOSH! This show is INSANE!

‘Kay back. I made myself a business card. Like it?

I kind of messed up on the alignment of the two addies at the bottom. But, s’okay, I think. I’ll fix up the next batch. It was SO easy to make this, too. I created it at Vistaprint.ca (there’s also Vistaprint.com for US Gorgeouses). They have a very easy and affordable program.

Okay, going to bed early tonight, Gorgeouses. Hopefully, I’ll get some beauty sleep! Have you entered the big CONTEST over at Goodies, yet? Gift certificates to my fave spa/online store up for grabs! CHECK IT!

I love it when I START writing these posts after midnight…. I should probably just go to bed. Especially since tomorrow’s a HOLIDAY (shwing!) here in Canada. HOLIDAY should mean NO WORK. But, alas, I don’t think the words “NO WORK” are anywhere in my future — immediate or far off. I mean, ‘cuz, have you SEEN this site??

As if a gossip blog and a personal blog weren’t enough, I now have a “Kitchen,” a “Recommends” and a “Goodies” site? HOW to the WHEN to the WHERE, Haley-O? And, WHAT are all these sites?

Basically, Gorgeouses, it goes like this.

“Kitchen” is a food blog. It’s where I talk about everything from the incredible lunch I had, to recipes, menu plans, diet tips and pictures of celebrities eating….

“Recommends” is a place where I recommend stuff. I know, shocking. Like, today, for instance, we watched Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium and LOVED IT. So, CHEATY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED it in the Recommends blog. I know, it’s confusing…. Heh.

“Goodies” is a place where I hold fun stuff like CONTESTS and promotions. As a matter of fact, GET YOUR GORGEOUS ARSES OVER THERE NOW TO WIN A CLEK OLLI BOOSTER CAR SEAT!!!

Ahem.

Within the next couple of weeks, MOREOVER, the “art” site will be complete, and you’ll see some neat things over there, including a shopping cart system and some new artists.

Even MOREover, sometime in the very near future, we’ll have a forum here where you can divulge your cheatiest moments, share thoughts on TV shows, share recipes, etc.!

As for me…. I’m not expecting myself to write 5 blog posts, 5 days a week, sell art, cook dinners, breastfeed, lose baby weight, SHOWER, etc.. I’m going to just do the best I can. The site was a gift from Josh-O. It’s something that I plan to grow into and build. As the kids get older, I’ll have more time to devote to it. For now, I do my best.

It’s the same old blog, Gorgeouses. My shizzle. It’s just a little more organized and MUCH more beautiful (thank you to KAREN and LESLIE from SWANK WEBSTYLE DESIGN STUDIO for working their gorj arses off to create it!). Not that I know what “organized” means…. (What is this word “organized”?) And, I hope you’ll continue to feel at home here and enjoy.

LOVE!

I’m watching The Hills right now. And, you know, I would have SO much more to blog about if I were one of the Hills girls. I mean, stuff HAPPENS to them (whether it’s real or not). Right now, I’m at a bit of a standstill life-wise. Like, the most exciting part of my day today (other than hott Kickboxing Instructor, of course) are The Bachelor AND The Hills finales. And, omigosh, that IS exciting! Which one to watch first!?

As I was saying, life is a little mundane lately. According to my Hip Tranquil Chick Contract, though, I’m supposed to "find inspiration in the mundane." And, I suppose that’s what I do here every day: I take SOMETHING from my mundane day and work my writing mojo. Because sometimes it takes a lo-ho-hot little mojo, a little abracadabra, a little wingardium leviosa! to write something interesting when NOTHING interesting is going on.

Then again, life is, like, totally interesting EVEN if it’s, like, totally mundane. Because, I mean, like, WTF are we DOING here? If you really think about it, even that crumb on your plate, your arm hair, Minden’s nostrils….

…all of it’s freakin’ fascinating…. Easy to forget that.

Sigh, if only I had a sparkly pink wand I believed made magic.

Me: There’s a fairy in your room, Monkey?
Monkey: Yes. He’s on da light.
Me: What does he look like?
Monkey: He has blond hair, like Rascal.
Me: What’s his name?
Monkey: Shako. Shako Kako Kako Kako Kako Kako Kako.
Me: His name is Shako Kako Kako Kako Kako Kako Kako?
Monkey: Yes.
Me: Hmmm….

Alas, I couldn’t see Shako Kako Kako Kako Kako Kako Kako no matter how hard I stared at that light…. When the monkey finally settled to sleep after much negotiation, tantrums, screaming that woke up Rascal grrrrr, I returned to my bedroom, where I am now, lit a calming candle, reflected on what really was just another day, and touched fingertips to keyboard….

Sigh, come to think of it, Gorgeouses, even hottie-hot-hottie Kickboxing Instructor, although hottie-hot-hot, contributed to today’s mundaneness — inSISting on playing this dang song over and over and over again:

As kick-arse as that song might be (did you dance? bop? sing along?), what’s more mundane than Sunday Mornings? Ahem. But, man, can hottie Kick Boxing Instructor MOVE. Gorgeouses, even his SWEAT is hott.

Anyway, SOOO I don’t have the glam life of a Hills girl, I’ve got two MAGICAL little monkeys and THEIR magical worlds to inspire me….

And, of course, there’s Minden. He does magic tricks. You should really check it. He also sparkles in the night….
