Our Blind Side
Then as I was making my way the the bathroom I looked at Buford, who was also asleep on the bed and said, "And you....you were in prison (AKA Humane Society)."
Then I looked at Bailey who is fully aware that she was chosen and said, "Yep...you were the only one we totally planned." And then I looked at my hubby and said, "Hey...we are like The Blind Side, only with dogs."
Hubby's response? "God Love You..."

ZUMBA-Take One!
Number one...I was humbled instantly.
Number two...it is painfully clear that I have no sexual energy, especially in my general hip area.
Number three....I have no rhythm, none whatsoever!

Mistake of the Day
- Fiber One Cereal (with extra fiber)
- munching on a apple w/PB for a snack
The problem came about during my 11:50 step class today when the fiber kicked in and I was bloated and had to pass gas. Luckily everyone survived the class and was not blown away by my vapors...but it was closer than everyone really knew.

New BFF
- She is in her twenties
- She works at Wal-greens
- She has been trying to loose weight, especially in her abs area.
- She had been running 6 miles a day, but then her feet began to hurt, she thinks it's because she needs inserts in her tennies.
- She has an awesome metabolism...but just needs to jump start it.
- She likes to look at fashion mags as she stands at the counter at Wal-greens...she finds that it can both be inspirational, as well as depressing...
- Wait...she really likes my nail polish!!!
I learned all this information about Leah in approximately 3 minutes while checking out with my issue of Fitness mag and a bottle of deep purple nail polish. I figure with all this information Leah gave me, we are fast on our way to becoming instand BFF's.

Feeling Good Again...
Now my poor husband is probably freezing because it's been down in the 30's and 40's at night and we still sleep with the windows open...but he's a good man and doesn't complain...I think he is even finding it kind of funny when I refer to myself as a werewolf...I almost think it's kind of funny when he tells me he has been a vampire for centuries....almost....
Honestly...I am just feeling pretty lucky today...

Planet Smooth Talker
I parked the car and went inside. Like usual, the place was dead and I wasn't even sure if there was a worker there.
But as I glanced around I noticed the normal guy that works days was sitting in a booth working on a laptop. He casually said, " I am ready whenever you are..."
So I ordered my smoothie and pulled out my CC to pay.
Please note, please note...other than my order and his saying that he was ready whenever I was, no words or even looks were exchanged....
As I am packing up to leave he says," And by the way....you look really pretty today."
This makes me feel like a complete asshole, because I didn't even leave him a tip...Drats!

Is this love...
Me: My feet are killing me...do you mind rubbing them?
Hubby: Sure (he begins attempting to rub my feet and then gets a disgusted look on his face,) Wow...these feet are so soft....
Me: Shut up....they are better than they used to be...
Hubby: That isn't saying much...I think I just cut myself....
Me: Hey...will you rub my neck?
Hubby: Sure....let me go wash my hands first. (he's weird about touching feet and then other things.)
Me: Thanks...my neck is killing me...I got stuck in a dress today after work and I think I pinched something.
Hubby: You got stuck in a dress????
Me: Yeah...I was trying a dress on and it got stuck. So, I was stuck in a dressing room with my arms pinned up around my ears. (I shove my arms straight up showing him what it could have looked like.)
Hubby: What did you do?
Me: I coached myself and tried to figure it out.
Hubby: You coached yourself???
Me: Yeah...like come on, you can do this, you got into this dress, you can get out....And I finally got it over my giants breasts...But I hurt my neck in the process cause I was stuck for about 10 minutes. I mean I thought about buying the dress and then cutting it off, but that seemed extreme and I also didn't know how I would even get out of the dressing room. Plus I just had my slip on.
Hubby: God love you....

The Price is Right
I have such a bad habit when someone says, "Hey...I love that shirt." I automatically respond with...."I paid $3.95 for it!"
Wrong....need to be a bit more tactful....

Glass of water please....
- Are executives not all that thirsty? Is that their key to success, only be hungry for power, not thirsty for it...

- Do executives not believe in recycling and saving the earth?
Just curious....thoughts?????
What can I say...l'm popular.....
My boss then asks how I know this woman and I respond, "Oh, she works at The Limited at Easton."
My boss looks at me and says, "You have a problem."
So true....

Work Lesson # 1
I was meeting with someone today for the first time about something that I don't usually work with. And without giving up too much info, he asked me if I knew what he did and what the meaning behind all he did, etc. I answered his questions quite well, if I do say so myself. Although he kept saying,"good answer," and "yes, that's exactly right," he kept asking me to pretend I was this and I was that, so I could better understand what he did. It was patronizing and annoying....I finally said, "I completely understand where you are going here, the examples are not necessary," in my really profession voice. I thought, you take that and stick it in your chocolate smoothie! (As we were walking back from Starbucks.)
Then I stepped out into the street and nearly got hit by on car...creditability went down to zero and the examples returned...
Drats!!!!

One, Two, Three Strikes You're Out
- Heat/Being hot-I panic!
- Children
- Organized Sporting events, especially watching them
And even though my area at work was told as a special treat we would head to the new Huntington Park to catch a lunch Clippers game, I tried to keep a positive attitude. I am very appreciative that they allow us fun days and to be away from the office. I, in fact, tried to remain positive even when we got to the park and noticed numerous "mini buses," with daycare names on them. I even remained positive when they were handing out posters for children as you walked in.
I don't know when my cookie started to crumble, but I think it was around the time that I realized that it was "Daycare Day," at Clippers Stadium and I was surrounded by at least 100 kids. Now I know that sometimes I get a big dramatic on here, but I am spitting the truth on this one...Kids everyone! I felt like Ms. Hanigan from Annie. Except instead of little girls, little girls, I would have sang, little kids...little kids.
These children began to chant things such as, "You missed it loser, " and "Let's got Clippers, let's go...Clip my nails!" And I will be honest...they were almost cute the first 50 times.
And then there was the heat. I am a very hot natured person, the time I tell you I am cold...I am potentially sick and dying. So yesterday as we sat in the extreme heat with the sun beating directly on us, I thought I was going to die. At one point I stood up and looked like I had a "wee," bit of an accident because I was sweating so badly.
And to top it all off, we stayed the entire 9 innings, as did the lovely, lovely children. At one point I actually began to tear up because the situation was just not funny anymore. I was miserable.
I know this post wasn't particularly funny, but I just felt like someone else should know my pain. Perhaps I should have warned you in the beginning of the post....
Hell no!!!! No one warned me at the beginning of the game...so we are all kind of even...

Southern Ohio Belle- Updation
On other Southern Belles news, I was doing some googling today and discovered that Shea's ex-finance Jeff is now romantically linked to Katie King who was the woman Hadley did some campaigning on the show for...weird....
Yes...I am concerned about my fascination with this show and No...I don't know what I am going to do about it....

Sex and Santa
There was however one story that was so funny that I wish I could claim it as my own. My cousin Leea, has two boys, one 10 and one 5 roughly. Leea also has a circus of animals at her homestead including large turtles. One day Leea's oldest son, Cannon came upon a male and a female turtle having an intimate moment, let's say...and then Cannon came to Leea for a bit of the birds and the bees lesson. Leea stalling for time, told Cannon to wait till his little brother Aiden was asleep and they would talk about it.
So sure enough when Aiden went down for the count that night, Cannon was right at Leea's side wanting to know some dirty details. Leea's approach was a scientific book, much to Cannon's dismay...but they did end up talking a bit and Leea then feared that Cannon would take this highly coveted adult talk to his little brother. So Leea ended she and Cannon's chat with a quick speech about how Cannon didn't need to share all his knowledge with his little brother Aiden.
Leea said, "Like for example Cannon, you don't need to tell Aiden that there isn't a Santa Claus, even though you know that."
In response Cannon wails, "What do you mean there isn't a Santa Claus Mom!!!!"
My favorite part of this story is that the 10 year old wanted to know about sex, but still believed in Santa Claus. Man...I wish I could claim this story as my own...it was just so cute!
*Maybe Cannon can ask Santa for a sex tell all book this Christmas!

Reservations for One Please!
Needless to say this is a big undertaking for a community the size of Lancaster. One of the ways Lancaster makes it work is by having local families host the orchestra members for two weeks. This year they finally got to us and we are hosting Victor, who plays the cello.
To be honest I am mostly looking forward to the experience, as we will have live music in the house for two weeks. But I do have some reservations and they follow as such:
1.) Do I have to constantly have a bra on when I walk around the house?
2.) I bet this means I cannot fart and burp at my leisure when I get home from work.
3.) Wonder how many times our crazy ass dog Bailey will pee on the floor in Victor's presence?
4.) Victor does not eat red meat, which I completely respect. However, while shopping at the grocery on Sunday for his arrival...I mostly cook red meat meals and chicken...I am going to have to get creative.
5.) I normally am quite the nosey person, does this mean I am finally getting a taste of my own medicine and Victor will go through my stuff....Will I be forced to learn my lesson?
Goodness sake...how with this turn out? And if you really want the honest truth...my biggest concern is number 2 on the list...mainly because my hubby will adjust to this and expect it on a regular basis!!!!
He loves me...he really does love me....
Southern Ohio Belle
But what I am really embarassed with is that I ask my favorite Southern Belle, Hadley Hartz to be my friend on Facebook. I have never done that, but I do equate it to quite possibly stalking. I honestly don't know what got into me, I googled her name (never a good start) and when her FB page came up it asked if I wanted to request her as a friend. Without missing a beat I hit "ask to be friends."
Now I have regret....because I feel like such a loser and will feel even worse if Hadley rejects me, or simply ignores me...totally passive aggressive....
Stay tuned....

Girl Bonding
I like to think she was laughing with me and not at me.
I mean, this was the same girlfriend that asked me to show her how to use the toilet guards in the bathroom and called me at 5:20AM to tell me she had misplaced her car in the a/p parking lot and what should she do?
Girlfriends are just the best, I love my hubby to the ends of the earth...but there is just something about your girlfriends....

The Stache Continues
I have stopped complaining about it though, because the hubby lovingly informed me that every time I complain about it, it adds to more days to him keeping it. He also added that at this point we are up to 3 months of the stache. While I don't think it's fair to hold me to rules I was completely unaware of, I am not going to say a word. However, I did mention he could give me the best birthday gift in the world and shave it for my b-day that is coming up.
I am not holding my breath.....
Baby Momma Drama
Ahh...but I digress....
So this baby shower was perhaps the best one I have ever attended. Number one, I was 30 minutes late (but my nails looked fabulous!) and I missed a lot of the baby and birthing talk. And as I walked in, they were serving the food, score again! And we just settled down to play the one game of the day...the Baby Momma Game. This game consisted of a sheet of paper with about 10 baby names on it with a one bonus question. The baby names all belonged to a celebrity mother and of course, the purpose was to name the celebrity mother to the baby. FINALLY, a game I can get on board with and kick ass. Not only did I list every celebrity mother, I was also able to name the usually more obscure father, hence Cash Warren. And I got the bonus right, I was able to name all of Angie and Brad's pack.
Watch out bitches! I might just start coming to random showers if these are the new wave of baby shower games.
And as an added bonus...the prize handed out was a candle named, "butt naked." I simply loved the name. I went home very satisfied.

Fishing
To be honest, my reaction wasn't the best, but please, this came out of left field. I looked at him like he was crazy and asked, "why?" He basically said it was something different to do other than sit in front of a computer and look for jobs. Plus it was free. At that I was game, if it was free, he could do it.
So my husband went with 10 other folks who mainly work for Ohio Department of Wildlife, etc and learned (is that a word?) how to teach children to fish. I am not sure that this will really pump up his resume or ability to "land," jobs...but he did get a free rod and reel out of the deal...so that is pretty cool.

Brown Sugar Baby
So in my attempts to dress more professionally, I recently purchased a super cute dress from Gap.com. I had tried it on in the Gap store, but it was cheaper on line (ahh....the budget!) So I purchased this adorable dress...and then decided that it would look more professional if I wore hosiery and pumps versus tights and black boots. So while at the grocery on Sunday, I perused the hosiery section. My how things have changed since I had to wear hose everyday. Those puppies are expensive. So when checking out the selection, I noticed that there were these "Brown Sugar," ones aimed at a certain type of person,let's just say the Cosby's....and they were a lot less...$1.99 versus all the others starting at $3.99 and going up in to the $7range....And there were black colored Brown Sugar hose...and I thought to myself...what a fantastic find...who cares what color you are underneath black hose....Ahh...budget!
So I purchased my first pair of Brown Sugar's....quite proud of myself...both for bridging the racial gap by buying them and by saving a couple of dollars at the same time.
And this morning I put on my cute dress and opened my Brown Sugars....Oh Lord Almighty....Ladies, I have gotten what I paid for...My brown sugars are well....much like sandpaper....and the crotch (sorry, I cannot think of a better word for it.) is about 5inches below were it is supposed to be. The sandpaper effect makes issues with tearing and catching...so I look somewhat like I have teeny tiny white dots everywhere...but that is just were the sandpapering giving a little more. And I am afraid my brut strength when pulling them up will rip them to shreads, so bathroom trips will be limited today...
And on top of that...I have a meeting with my Vice President today...which means I am going to have to go to the convenience store here in the building and buy a pair of $10 hose...and so my idea of paying a couple of bucks less has cost me more...
Yikes what is a girl to do....
