So if you were paying any attention at all (and I certainly don’t expect you to), I did not publish a blog post on Friday.
Some of you are probably scratching your heads, wondering why I would think you would care about my regular Tuesday and Friday posting schedule. It’s because of the handful of you that actually wait for my post to come out. Some of you have caught on and know that my post always publishes at 1:00 a.m. C.S.T. on Tuesday and Friday and some of you have even told me you sometimes wait up just to read it.
YOU, my good people, are the main reason I’m still doing this. You kick ass and I love you.
If you’re reading this at all, just know I love you too and I appreciate that anybody besides my besties and my daughter read this nonsense.
As I was saying, though, I failed to publish anything last Friday.
I’d like to say I was doing something noble like feeding the homeless or organizing a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders. What I was really doing was slipping into a coma as I ate my third roll and binge-watched Sons of Anarchy again on Netflix.
Because nothing says “Thanksgiving” like watching a biker Mom kill her daughter-in-law with a meat fork in the skull.
Sorry if that spoiled anything for you.
At about 10:30 Thursday evening, I realized that I hadn’t really prepared anything for my blog the next day and I actually considered getting out my laptop and trying to think of something cute. Then Charlie Hunnam’s naked ass walked across my screen and I’m pretty sure I forgot how to spell my name, so you can blame my lack of a blog post on Friday on my food-coma brain being distracted by a hottie with a fake reaper tattoo on his back.
Speaking of which, The Husband Dude and I had the following discussion about our friends across the pond:
Me: Did you hear that? Charlie Hunnam slipped out of his American accent a little on that last sentence.
The Husband Dude: Have you ever noticed how many English actors come over here and get really popular on T.V. shows? Charlie Hunnam in SOA. Andrew Lincoln in The Walking Dead.
Me: Don’t forget Hugh Laurie in House.
THD: Exactly! (Gives me side eye.) It’s not right. All these good looking English guys coming over and stealing jobs from American actors.
Me: (laughing) Stealing jobs from American actors?
THD: Yeah. I think we need to build a wall.
Me: (laughing more) We’re going to build a wall across the Atlantic? To stop good-looking English actors from stealing roles from American actors? And are we going to make England pay for it?
Us:
Did I mention we’re a wee bit sarcastic at our house?
Anyway, my apologies to anyone who was expecting a blog post on Friday. I’ll try not to gorge myself on ham and dressing and let hot British men walk naked across my T.V. screen too often so that I can actually get my work done when I need to.
In other news, Facebook’s “Memories” feature has reminded me of holidays past. I posted this two Thanksgivings ago and thought you might find it amusing:
My Thanksgiving as told by my Google searches:

Friends, the Christmas shopping season is in full swing. This year, as you’re invading the big box stores for your T.V.’s, electronics, toys and gadgets, I hope you’ll also consider patronizing small businesses. Do you have friends who work at direct sales for companies like Younique, Scentsy, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef, Avon, Rodan & Fields?
Please consider buying from them for your Christmas gifts. All the friends I know who sell for these companies are hard-working women who are trying to supplement their family’s income or build an actual business they can run themselves so they can quit working at the Satan’s Buttholes of the world. Give them a boost this holiday season. Walfart and Amazon are not going to be hurting if you decide to buy your stocking stuffers from a friend rather than from a billion dollar company.
If you feel so inclined, please visit my Zazzle store and pick up a few humorous gifts. My goal isn’t to get rich from my designs, but I do use the money I make from the store to fund this blog and keep it free from really annoying ads that would ruin your reading experience. I would be most grateful if you considered making a purchase!
This is the link to my newest collection: Angel Who Swears At Work.
I also made a naughty Christmas card:
And don’t forget my newest mug and magnet featuring my signature line!
Until next time, Stay weird, my friends. Normal is boring!

November 27, 2018 at 1:29 amI did notice that you hadn’t posted Friday, but I just assumed that you skipped it due to the holiday. If I had known you were just being lazy in a coma, I would have cracked the whip! LOL Hope you enjoyed your free time while all of us cried that you missed a day!

November 27, 2018 at 8:52 pmI had a great holiday, but I’ll admit I felt guilty about not blogging! I probably need you to crack that whip!

November 27, 2018 at 8:09 amYou know, naked British hotties should be a new official excuse category. I am sorry I was late with “insert late/missed assignment here.” My reason is (check one) Naked British Hotties, Flu, Hospitalization, Death, I Just Didn’t Want To.
I would be filling that form out all day long.
Kat says
November 27, 2018 at 8:52 pmI think it’s a totally valid excuse! LOL

November 27, 2018 at 1:11 pmI think hot naked Englishmen are a perfectly acceptable reason not to blog…. but maybe that’s just me.
Carry on.

November 27, 2018 at 8:52 pmI concur!

November 27, 2018 at 8:15 pmNaked Charlie Hunnam?!!!!!! Forgiven and redeemed! Christmas came early! Mona
Kat says
November 27, 2018 at 8:52 pmYes it did!

November 28, 2018 at 6:23 amI don’t support MLMs like Scentsy and Younique because they’r big fat scams. I’d rather give my money to legitimate beauty brands I can trust like L’Oreal and Revlon than scammy scammy brands like Younique.
Also..I was kind of in a coma Friday also. I don’t like shopping on Black Friday because I spent WAY too many years in retail having to deal with that particular hell. So I spent close to I think 12 hrs that day watching all 5 of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
I hated the last one (which I’d never seen before) because it was just stupid. But the others were mostly OK.

November 29, 2018 at 6:28 pmI actually like Younique’s eyeliner. I use Bare Minerals makeup but I’ve never liked their eyeliner and haven’t found any other that I care for. Same thing with Scentsy. Their wax scents, in my opinion, are superior than the other ones you find. I don’t support them to make people rich. I actually like some of their products and if a friend is selling it, then I kill two birds with one stone!
