Strange, 1 a.m. text.

So last night at 1:30 a.m. I got a random text message. I was a little annoyed that someone would text so late, so I messed with them a bit, but - as you'll see - it took a really weird turn . . .


Unknown Texter:
Hey girl! OMG I am SO excited for tomorrow! Are you?

Sleepy, annoyed me:
Umm . . . not if I don't get enough sleep.

Texter:
lol. Don't pretend like you weren't awake! I know you! You're probably drunk!

Me:
Actually, my supply ran out. And rubbing alcohol just doesn't have the same effect.

Texter:
OMG, Megan. You'd better not be sipping rubbing alcohol again!

(what?? again???)
Me:
Would you rather I sip on anti-freeze?

Texter:
That's not even funny. Do you never learn your lessons? Don't sip ANYTHING! Unless it's Vodka. ;)

Me:
Okay . . . when did I EVER sip on rubbing alcohol or anti-freeze?

Texter:
Seriously, Megan? Did the stuff fry your brain or are you trying to be cute.

Me:
Oh, I'm serious

Texter:
Last summer, you dork! Anyway, how did things go with Jake? I'm peeing right now and then I'm going to call you and get the scoop.

Me:
That's okay, you don't need to call me. I can text it to you. It was a lot of fun. He held my hand and then we kissed.

(The girl tries to call me. I answer, but hang up right away.)

Texter:
Megan, you had better answer your phone and talk to me about this. What do you mean you kissed? Are you joking? Because I'm not in the mood. You were supposed to get him to forgive me!

Me:
Oh.

Texter:
Oh? Did you really kiss him??? Wt-, Megan!

Me:
I'm sorry. He apparently loves me. As we were sitting there, alone . . . talking about love . . . we realized that we actually love each other. We'd like to get married in June. Please just give us your blessing.

Texter:
I can't believe I trusted you b****! You are the worst friend ever!

Me:
Wait now -- before you go burning bridges with any of your friends -- you should check your numbers. Can I go back to sleep now?

Texter:
OMG! This isn't Megan, is it! lol. Thank G**! I'm so sorry to have bothered you.

Me:
Please keep your friend away from rubbing alcohol and anti-freeze.

Queens of Green!

(Found under my "Queens of Green! tab)

Would you like to know how you can make money from home, shop wholesale for amazing, toxic-free products, and live a healthier life all through one amazing company?

By the age of twenty-five, I have already battled cancer three times, which is more than enough times for me. My health was never great, I suffered from fatigue and anxiety -- my stress levels were always through the roof.

It didn't take very many years of living like that for me to decide something had to change. I began searching for ways to be healthier. I shopped for healthier, organic foods, and I searched for healthier products.

Which is how I stumbled across Queens of Green.

I was familiar with the products from about 8 years earlier and always knew they were amazing products, but I had never really allowed myself to experience them. I was worried that they'd be too expensive (as most "healthy" products are), but much to my amazement (and pleasure) they are cheaper than shopping at Walmart or Target! Especially if you completely switch from the harmful, toxic products you purchase from those big corporate stores, and switch to these safe, less expensive, and far superior products!

All of these products are all-natural, using no harsh chemicals. Safety caps aren't even required--they're THAT SAFE! I'm not kidding when I say that they are superior to all other products I've ever used in the past, not to mention a billion times healthier!

What products do they offer? Nearly everything you could ever need!

Laundry detergent

Dish detergent

Household cleaning products (A.MAZ.ING ones)

An amazing hair care line (I have three feet of hair - no exaggeration. I'm not going to trust my hair to just any product. Take it from me-- this line is great!)

Cosmetics (you'll die when you try this mascara -- it's excellent!)

Toothpaste (If you try nothing else . . . try this toothpaste!)

Mouthwash

Incredible lotion
My favorite soaps in the world
Acne fighting face wash!

And much, much more!

There are also amazing health and diet foods available! Ask me about them!

So how can products so superior in health benefits and basic effect to the big, name brand grocery products still manage to be cheaper?

Ask me about Queens of Green! I'm happy to explain and share my knowledge (and health) with you! In fact, I'll send you a free sample of the best lotion you'll ever find just for asking me about it and letting me answer your questions!

I Had A Dream . . .

Last night I had a dream about my ex-husband. I haven't dreamt about him in a VERY long time. It was one of those dreams where everything is really great and perfect . . . and I woke up still feeling that way. In other words, I woke up this morning thinking: "Gah! Why did I get divorced? I'm still so in love with him!"

But that's not really case. I don't hate him or anything, and I probably do still love him on a level, but as my memories of what our marriage was really like comes back, I remember why I'm divorced.

Still . . . I like to hold on to the feelings from that dream. It was really . . . nice. It was a little too intimate to share publicly (not in THAT way, guys), so I won't share the details. Sorry.

On a completely different note: I read an article last night about at eighteen year old boy who joined a bank because his mom wanted to teach him about financial responsibility. At one point, his account got down to $4.90, so the bank charged him a $10.00 maintenance fee. WTH? It bounced his account and then they charged him continual overdraft fees until his mom finally forked over nearly $200 to close the account

This annoyed me on a personal level because Key Bank did something horribly similar to me! Hence the reason I strictly refer to it as "Fee Bank".

I love the bank I'm with now. Idaho Central Credit Union.

Best. Bank. Ever.

No ridiculous fees or hidden charges, no maintenance fees. Only excellent service and superior customer service. In every branch they remember my name, USE my name, and smile. They ask about my day/week/life (but not in an annoying/invasion of privacy way) and I LOVE walking into my bank. I'd recommend switching over!

How To Annoy Your Sister

What is it about irritating family members that is so darn amusing? Not in a bad way. Like this for example: My sister has a new fb account and I friend requested her. She added me. Her profile update said:

Just barely let rouger in his kennel to go to bed and he is already snoring!!!!! Lol

(That's exactly what it said -- copy and paste)  ;)

Anyway, I learned from earlier that if I comment on her status, her phone goes off. So I had a little fun and left these comments:

Cortney Durbin When I comment on your crap, I hear your phone go off.

Cortney Durbin It amuses me.

Cortney Durbin Because you are trying to sleep.

Cortney Durbin Now I hear you laughing.

Cortney Durbin No. I will not.

Cortney Durbin You know it's funny . . . .

Cortney Durbin Are you happy you added me?

Cortney Durbin Because I totally am.


Hailee Durbin No stop it!!!!!


Cortney Durbin This is the most fun I've had ALL DAY.

Cortney Durbin Just think of it like I'm texting you. Same diff. Only . . . More public.

Cortney Durbin I almost typed "pubic", but I changed it. Good call.

Cortney Durbin Sooo . . . .

Cortney Durbin What's up?


Hailee Durbin Stop!!!! I'll block u from my fb!!!!


Cortney Durbin It's like I'm the worlds fastest texter.

Cortney Durbin No! Okay . . . I'll stop.

Cortney Durbin ish.

Cortney Durbin ‎(Ugh. I'm so bored!) Wanna watch a movie?

Cortney Durbin Wanna have a party at my house?


Ahh, so funny. There are those of you that will judge. And so be it, because there are more of you who will totally get how funny that is!
