MTE Stamps or How Belinda Sucks





So I haven't had the mojo to create svg's lately, dealing with being overly tired, which then of course leads to getting sick, it all does nothing for my creative streak. We are having alot of wind in California this winter, and the winds wears on my nerves like sandpaper hence Zero mojo. Alternately the wind allows me to become uber snotty and complain about pretty much everything. A friend of mine said she's surprised there isn't a blog called "How Belinda Sucks!" I could fill that thing up with my random rants and hit 200 posts in a week, for example: I suck because I get in line, apparently this simple technique used to create order and quash anarchy by keeping things fair is lost on the 20 somethings at the fruit smoothie joint - there was a person by the door- one by the smoothie pick up area and one over by the bulletin board. I, instinctively go to the ORDER & PAY area  of the counter. The cashier proceeds to ignore me and ask the bulletin board boy what he would like, then the door girl, then the pick up area girl then me, she asks with an upraised eyebrow, what I would like. I fought the urge to smack her with the banana near the register. Apparently these OLD lines are just too restricting, the smooshed fruit girl doesn't need them. Another man walked into the Kumbaya circle of non order folks, (I bet you they have kids and refuse to give them a gender name, or refuse to tell them they're a boy or a girl), and looked around in a confusing manner, I rolled my eyes and said "We must be old fashioned" He had no idea what I was talking about and gave me a weird look. I, resisted the urge to call him names and make fun of his green jeans. 
If you prefer not to hear my rants skip down to ENOUGH RANTING
Here's some more of my Belinda sucks stuff 
1. After using the bathroom, you know when the person next to you has created that symphony of percussion moves in the stall next to me- Please USE SOAP in hand washing. The cold water then fix the blue hair THEN grabbing the handle to escape- makes me want to hunt them down when I've contracted pink eye,  from one of the Mom's who insist on sending their kids to school with green goo oozing from their eyesockets and share the goo.
2. When the little darling is coughing and it sounds bad. Please don't send them to school to infect my little darlings. You see there is altogether TOO much whining going on already in my home, add germs that potentially can infect me, is going to make me hunt them down and lock them into the local eatery bathroom on Sunday - right after that blue haired woman has that huge bowl of oatmeal.
3. No farting in the aisle of any store...please don't walk faster to the next aisle, that just makes it worse and more gross. Perhaps STOP shopping and go to the bathroom. 

If you guessed that my illness is effecting my olfactory senses- you would be correct. Which leads me to FOUR

4. Any type of spray deodorant is a bad idea at the gym,well ANYWHERE! Here's a tip-If I feel like I smell so much that I need the stuff that destroys the ozone layer, perhaps BATHING is the only good idea followed by non earth decaying stick deodorant. Hey even a wash cloth with that SOAP stuff may just do the trick. Oh and perfume DOES NOT cover that smell up.

ENOUGH RANTING

Holy Cow where did those horns in my head come from?! Who's pitchfork is that?!

I did do some crafting..I used my My thoughts Exactly stamps to make a card for my buddy Becky, who understands my rants and would giggle with me on the whole aisle farting thing.
I used the Under the Sea set to get the Happy Birthday. I used Lettering Delights Cards B - I sized it down a little bit in Make the Cut, Butterflies and Blossoms to cut out the opening. I used the spellbinders Fancy tags for the portion to stamp on. I had found some border stamps on sale at Michaels so used a muted purple for the background for my Happy Birthday.

Do you see that rosette?! Yes I did one but it hurt me

The new My Thoughts Exactly Set is up for you to order!

  1. I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy and pissy, but it creates a TON of entertainment for moi! Hilarious post. And very cute card too. Even without mojo (which I don't believe for a second-you just channeled your pissiness into crafting). Thanks for the laugh, sucky!

  4. Cute card and I can sooo relate to the "don't send kids to school sick" part. LOL I used to teach Kindergarten and they are constantly touching things and wanting to be in your lap or holding your hand. Some moms were more concerned with perfect attendance than if their child was sick or if he oe she made me sick.

  8. Belinda does not suck, Belinda makes beautiful cards.
    Sorry to hear you are having such a rotten time but thanks for the laugh. So many of those comments sound just like ones I have made recently. I agree wind is not nice. I hate it as I build up to much of a static charge and get zapped every time I touch anything. You should see me trying to shop and not touch any metal, lol. I hope things get better for you real soon.
