Someday I’ll have my dream blog.…

Posted by amanda on Jun 22, 2010 in Uncategorized

You know that mechanic with the busted up car? That’s me. I real­ize that all of my pho­tos and such aren’t show­ing up and things around here are a bit goofy. I’ve been tak­ing care of other peo­ples sites and neglect­ing mine. Sorry bout that. But they’ll be back soon. And just think, maybe I’ll actu­ally write some­thing instead!

Naked time.…

Posted by amanda on Jun 22, 2010 in Uncategorized

As a born again YWCA mem­ber (actu­ally I was a mem­ber of the YMCA before but I don’t think it really mat­ters, a Y is a Y to me) I have been try­ing to get accus­tomed to locker room eti­quette again. I see the “no cel­lu­lar phone” signs every­where and obey them, at first I didn’t under­stand then I remem­bered pic­ture phones and Twit­ter and started hyper­ven­ti­lat­ing. I make sure and dry off my feet so I don’t leave slip­pery trails of death through­out he area. I try to pick a locker not in the mid­dle of a bunch of taken lock­ers, it may not be a rule but it should be.

My only real issue, and I wouldn’t call it an issue so much as a curios­ity, is what is with the exces­sive nudity? I get it, you change clothes, you switch to a swim suit, you shower, all of these things require being naked at some point and that’s not a big deal but I don’t get why every­thing has to be naked with some peo­ple. The long leisurely pub­lic shower? What is relax­ing about this? I have def­i­nitely hopped onto the scale in the buff for max­i­mum results but brush­ing your teeth, dry­ing your hair and just kind of wan­der­ing around naked for twenty min­utes I just don’t get.

I really don’t con­sider myself a prude and I’m cer­tainly not embar­rassed at see­ing other women naked but it just seems a lit­tle odd. I had to walk by the gal tak­ing the über shower three times tonight and each time she smiled politely. I guess it’s no big thing, I’m just too self con­scious. I am, how­ever, a big advo­cate of not wear­ing my glasses in the locker room. The fuzzy soft edged shapes i see seem way less intru­sive and quite flat­ter­ing. They might not want the pri­vacy, but I like to think that they would do me the same courtesy…

Tiny bugs…

Posted by amanda on Jun 17, 2010 in Uncategorized

After a mirac­u­lous Dr. visit for Ijah where she just checked me out too I found that I have a sinus infec­tion.  Tiny bugs have apper­antly invaded my body mak­ing me feel all yucky and drained and cough­ing up gross­ness, and didn’t let up until I was all infecty.  How do I fix this?  More tiny lit­tle bugs.  Nasty tast­ing if you don’t swal­low them fast enough tiny bugs that will wreck havoc upon the cur­rently embed­ded bugs.  Its grasshop­pers vs ants, except smaller, and in my chest…weird.

Ijah gets them too, except his are liq­uid and pink fla­vored and are going to the right ear bat­tle field.

I am sorry he has an ear infec­tion, it sucks, I’ve had them.  But damn am I glad he was act­ing like spawn of evil because he was uncom­fort­able, not because he is spawn of evil…  I can deal with the spon­ta­neous incon­solable tantrums if I know they are because of ear bugs…

Dulled senses can be a blessing…

Posted by amanda on Jun 15, 2010 in Uncategorized

The sick fog is start­ing to lift a bit here and there, and although it did take pos­ses­sion of my sun­glasses (which were some­how lost in a fif­teen minute visit at the cof­fee shop), I feel a bit less brain­less today. Good enough to actu­ally try to con­tain a bit of the chaos that has over­taken the house, despite Sher­mans awesomeness.

These fogs are usu­ally harm­less enough, you awake from them and find your peanut but­ter in the fridge, your purse in the bath­room for some rea­son, your keys in the nickel jar. But on occa­sion the mix of fog and dulled senses can cre­ate a dan­ger­ous combo. For example…when you real­ize that the cookie sheet is cov­er­ing not an empty stock pot as you had assumed, but rather the last few pota­toes and all of the water they were boiled in from the mashed potatoes.…that you made five days ago.…

Let’s just say Im glad that my nose is still a bit off kil­ter and my cough­ing till I gag has paused for the moment…

Cough injuries…

Posted by amanda on Jun 14, 2010 in Uncategorized

You know that thing you get when you cough too much and the bot­tom of your tongue hurts because every time you cough you stick your tongue out a lit­tle and it just gets over worked and sore? Or maybe you don’t…

I have that thing right now…

Dresses, Water and Cough syrup…

Posted by amanda on Jun 12, 2010 in Uncategorized

It is pos­si­ble that I am the WORST sick per­son ever. So this cough, phlegmy, achey, voice­less crap is both­er­ing me. So Sher­man has been Mr. Mom on top of every­thing else while I whine and kind of rest. Luck­ily my rest so far has con­sisted of Chi­nese food, the T.V., and work that can be done on my iPad that cen­ters around really gor­geous dresses. So, over­all it could be worse…but I am going to need to watch my Chi­nese intake while I’m so set­tled into my cor­ner of the couch if I ever intend to fit into any­thing close to the dresses I’ve been star­ing at…

Oops…wrong playlist…

Posted by amanda on Jun 1, 2010 in Uncategorized

He was a big dude on a big bike. No hel­met just the bandana…helmets are for girls. Harley shirt with the required bik­ers tan, black leather chaps and fin­ger­less gloves and big mean boots. Engine growl­ing at the stop­light and music blar­ing out of speak­ers that don’t come stan­dard on a bike like that…

Unfor­tu­nately the song blar­ing was “What becomes of the bro­ken hearted.”

You could almost see the des­per­a­tion in his eyes as he tried to skip the song…but the bad ass wrap around sun­glasses blocked them.

Why is it that every time I need a cou­ple Tums I always grab, chew, and then real­ize I got the nasty banana fla­vor. I mean really, my tummy was obvi­ously no good before and now I have to deal with nasty banana fla­vor? I’ve got to start check­ing out the col­ors first…
