Fussy's Linkapalooza - This Last Trimester Ain't for Sissies

Because I love and adore you...Go here now. Thank me later.

Melissa has a lively comment thread round-up. She's my unschooling-intellectual hero. Love that woman!

Jessica likes it enough to do this picture? I'm trying it! I wanna be all crunchy, earth-friendly and relaxed, too. Slow down bandwagon, Fussy needs to get on!

Nancypants' awesome, make your fallopian tubes quiver/ photoshop tutorial post!

Jenny Bon-Bon -Tell us your darn secret! Pretty please. ;)

Jennifer's coined a new brilliant term "Male Pattern Blindness." I ~heart~ her!

The always lovely Mrs. Chicken described comforting her daughter after a bad dream. I could've written the same one about my boys. The tenderness of mothering a small child gets me all teary. Wait... it's those darn pregnant hormones again!

Why she doesn't join the Friday Fight the Frump, I just don't know! Seriously, Izzy's jeans post is great. Go read it.

Random Fussy Musings-

Dear Feedburner, Why do my stats change by 200 people many times a week? How can I go from 550 to 320 back and forth all week? Is it me?Could I have lost that many Friends of Fussy? Do I smell? Please stop, I am getting neurotic, kthanksbye!

I joined Friendfeed. Very cool. Come join in, unless you value your life off the net.

The job in Tacoma, WA. may make an offer next week. ~fingers crossed~ Everyone say a prayer that when we move that I will not deliver in the suburban. Seriously, the car is a public health hazard.

Have you emailed me this week? Has your email gone unanswered? I warned ya, I have early onset dementia am telepathic, please be patient with me. I'm crazy-busy, unorganized and behind on everything! But I do I luu-uuv you!

We have a winner!

"Even though Junior tripped and lost grasp of his hot dog, Super Mom was able to prevent any food from being wasted."

Great caption Dawn. Please email me your address so I can send you your new earrings!

The always wonderful Shannon sent this photo to me this week. It just begs for a Friend of Fussy caption!

Hubs will pick his favorites Monday night & voting starts Tuesday!

Thank you so much for another wonderful week with me. Thank you for taking the time to read and leave notes. Spending all that time looking supa-fab and taking such wonderful care of the family like you do, it just can't be easy. You take the time to come be a Friend of Fussy and I am forever grateful.

Love, Fussy

Fight the Frump- Just Say No to White Pants

Friends of Fussy, Just say NO to white pants!

Every Spring, fashion editors say the same thing.

"Crisp White Pants- Your Spring wardrobe staple!"

"White pants = White hot fashion!"

Why do they continually insult our intelligence?

We know better.

We know the ugly truth about white pants.

The Dirt on White Pants~

• They show parts of our anatomy meant only for our husband and Ob/Gyn.
• They allow bystanders the knowledge of what brand underwear you wear.
• They get filthy within minutes of dressing. Especially good at picking up any dirt on a seat.
• Small children will be strangly drawn to wipe their noses, hands and  mouths on any pair within 100 feet.
• They should be banned from your wardrobe if you are over 100lbs or a size 2.
• They only look supa-fab on models, professional athletes and Marines.

Many women feel comfortable in these horrid articles of clothing. These women sadly lack the ability to see themselves from behind.

Many think while wearing their trusty pants, that they look like this...

Sadly, many women look like this when sporting the white pants...

Alright, alright, there is some middle ground. Some of you may be able to rock the white pants with style. More power to ya, Sistahs! Just remember your Spanx in a nude shade. Leave the white granny panties, Leopard print thongs, and ~shudders~ total lack of under-roos for a different outfit. For the rest of us, we'll stick to our much loved, slimming, dark neutral pants and capris.

In closing, I humbly submit that white pants should be banned because the vast majority of women are unable to use the responsibly. Thank you.

Now it is the Friends of Fussy's turn. Reading all these Frump Fighter's wonderful posts is always the highlight of my weekend! I'm excited to see what fun ideas we'll have this week! ~Remember to link your post's URL, use the graphic and link back here!~

Have Fun!

Love, Fussy

Fussy Loves Nick Nolte's Mugshot

Since I admitted what I really look like first thing in the morning, some of you mentioned I bear a striking resemblance to Nick Nolte's mugshot.

Christine sent a hilarious video from The Onion of the new Anti-Nick Nolte Driving Device. I just had to share. Enjoy!

What, I think I'm quite lovely first thing. I just needed a little coffee!

Happy Thursday, Friends of Fussy.

I almost forgot to mention how lovely you look today. What is it? The color of your shirt or something new with your hair? Must be the hair, it looks great!

Love, Fussy

Fussy's Secret for a Miserable Existence

How can you maximize your misery? It's easy, it's available in all areas of life and everyday you will have new ways to take part. Are you excited to find out  what it is?

~~Constantly Compare Yourself to Others~~

Sometimes happiness can sneak in just when you aren't looking. You lose yourself in your hobbies, you spend a relaxing evening enjoying your family or have a blast going out to dinner with your friends. Don't let that happen! As a public service I am continuing my ruin your life series, I have some quick and easy ways to ensure you can get that feeling of misery back.

1)If you feel comfortable with your appearance, quickly look in your favorite women's fashion  magazine.

There's nothing like comparing yourself with 18 year old models with a BMI of less than 10 to make a woman feel miserable. The airbrushing, the perfect lighting and the professionals who make average women look perfect will send you to the couch sadly eating a hot-pocket in no time!

2) As soon as you feel a sense of gratitude for your family, simply look for a family who "appears" to be perfect.

It is so easy to look at another family and idolize their lives. Don't let yourself think about the fact that no one really knows what happens behind closed doors. Believe the image and quickly see how dissatisfied you will be with your own wonderfully imperfect family.

3) Make "keeping up with the Joneses" your mantra.

 

Tell yourself that if you were wealthy all your problems would disappear. Imagine days of bliss spent enjoying your  luxurious purchases. Sure, research shows that the lounging super wealthy are no more happy than the average hard working middle class person. Just disregard that truth and tell yourself that you would be happy if you were rich!

If you follow these easy steps, I promise that misery will be yours. Enjoy the fallout as your life crumbles around you! If you want a quick refresher on what research proves makes people happy -click here.

Love, Fussy
