Post something about yourself that you would otherwise think is silly.

[SarahB]

For example, today, in my ever-so-exciting life, I went to Target and I was excited to see a line of Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic stuff.

Another example, was that we had two excellent parent teacher conferences for my Kindergartner and second grader. I'm proud to have spawned my geniuses, they're silly and loud, but still geniuses. Plus, I get to visit preschool with my youngest tomorrow and he's very excited. :)

I doubt any of this really matters to anyone else and it's nothing deep or thought-provoking, but it's me nonetheless.

What did you do today that you wouldn't otherwise post about?

[Systematic Chaos]

1. I'm pleased as punch about my coming paycheck!

I work as a dealer in a small Vegas casino, and it's NOT one of the good ones where the dealers make $70k or more a year. Hell, far from it. BUT, with Spring Break and March Madness and the resulting heavy traffic I should end up grossing over $800 for 43 hours of work. That's nearly twice the average. Of course the whole thing will be eaten up by about $600 in much-needed auto repairs....

[SarahB]

40. Extra $$$ is always nice

Good for you! :bounce:

[madmax]

2. I went to Macy's

and bought some Clinique skin products. Now I'd like to get a facial. Am I a liberal elitist?

I'd just like to refresh my tired face :silly:

[Systematic Chaos]

3. Hey, why not?

We all need to feel special once in a while. :)

[madmax]

5. You're such a love

:hug:

[SarahB]

31. Sounds good

I'm often terrible at treating myself, but I'm trying to reform. We all need a bit of pampering sometimes! :hi:

[SiobhanClancy]

4. I ate half a jar of marshmallow fluff...

I don't know why...I think I'm going insane.

[SarahB]

25. My husband wonders what you've been smoking tonight

And can you send some over? :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. I, for one, coudn't eat marshmallow fluff unless I was totally stoned

and had nothing else to eat.

YUCK!!

[SiobhanClancy]

29. I only wish I had that for an excuse...

and even more,I wish I had something to send over.:smoke:

[Zomby Woof]

6. I love titties and beer

But that isn't all that silly.

[madmax]

9. I like your new sig line - Zomby

No comment on the titties and beer :evilgrin:

[SiobhanClancy]

10. But...

isn't it sexist and misogynistic?;)

[Zomby Woof]

14. only for the irony-deficient

Now my nipples are hard just talking about it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. and how do your nipples respond to thinking about Punky's lips?

[Zomby Woof]

39. THEY ARE POUTING FOR ME!!!!!!!!!

:grr:

[Rabrrrrrr]

46. But would Steven Tyler pay to see it?

I mean, I know *I* would, but . . .

[Zomby Woof]

49. is he more fluid than Jeff Beck?

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. that's what I hear

[Systematic Chaos]

18. I'll take the titties... hate beer with a purple passion

But one out of two ain't bad :P

[Zomby Woof]

20. what about purple titties?

Which are rather passionate... :crazy:

[SarahB]

27. I've got a couple with plenty to spare

No beer in the house sadly and the packies are closed! :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

44. Shabby Chic!

I have a poem I just made up for you:

SarahBelle, SarahBelle
Tells all fundies
Go to hell!
SarahBelle, SarahBelle
Grooms my yaks
When they smell!

We all love
The populist mother
Who now goes by a new
Name or another
SarahBelle that would be
Who loves yaks, roses,
And chic that is shabby!

[SarahB]

47. Hey, I found a new band too

You've got to check this out:
http://www.birdmanrecords.com/breastfedyak.html

I hope you're still nursing that baby yak of yours. When you're done, you can wrap him in this nice new shabby chic blanky:


I love the poem! :loveya:

[Kadie]

7. I had Malt-O-Meal for Dinner

and 2 pieces of wheat toast.

Not very exciting over here today.

[SarahB]

12. That sounds what I used to eat...

for bad morning sickness. Hope you're okay and just ate it because you like it. :)

[Kadie]

21. Thanks.

Just a little queasy tummy today, thought I would just eat light. Felt good for a change.

[carols]

8. I really get excited by a good mechanical pencil

:-)
Actually any good writing implement, but mechanical pencils are just the best. They just are so...errr...ummm...exotic.
Carol

[SarahB]

16. I think mechanical pencils are neat too

My children just think they're the cat's meow. :thumbsup:

[carols]

42. Mechanical pencil solidarity forever!

:pals:
Carol

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

23. I wore my "W with the line through it" shirt to school

And got teased by the goddaughter of Tom Ridge (so I'm told she is) that it was the "most awful shirt." I informed her that this is one of my MILDER shirts!

What else did I do? Attended three classes and studied in the library. A professor approached me about working for him this summer to get a couple of credits. Watched "American Idol" tonight. Am now reading 33 pages of Civil Rights Litigation (YAWN), then watching my nightly doses of "Seinfeld" and "King of the Hill." Then it's off to bed for 5 hours of sleep and back at it tomorrow!

Good night, all!

[pagerbear]

11. I had a blind date for dinner

It was nice. A very nice man--very sweet, cute, intelligent. Hope I'll see him again.

[SarahB]

13. Now, that's actually exciting

I hope you guys go out again! :toast:

[pagerbear]

37. Thanks!

[camero]

15. When I'm in a store

I like to run around and set the clap-activated stuffed animals off.

[SarahB]

19. Hee hee!

:7 :bounce:

[TOhioLiberal]

17. I finally hit....

200 posts. I find it exciting, but other (non-DU'ers) probably wouldn't. To make it doubly silly, I'm all geeked about seeing my name in the 'Milestones' thread tomorrow!

Ain't it silly?

Trekkerlass

[SarahB]

22. Back in the day

When I was Populistmom, it took me 9 months to get to 200. I was excited too! Congratulations! Wooo-hooo! :bounce:

[TOhioLiberal]

32. It sure didn't take long

once you became SarahBelle. :toast:

[madmax]

30. Congratulations trekkerlass

:toast:

[TOhioLiberal]

34. Thanks...

I appreciate it....Look out 300 posts here I come!!!

[dolo amber]

28. I haven't had a cigarette

in 30 hours. I quit for my b'day yesterday. I know it's for the best, but it's REALLY. REALLY. hard. :cry:

PRAY FOR MOJO.

[madmax]

35. Proud of you dolo amber

:cry: I'm trying to quit. Bought the patches but, I have 5 packs of cigarettes left that I want to finish before I quit. Is that sick or what!? x)

[dolo amber]

41. No, not sick at all

I did the same thing. ;)

I've got the patch on as well, which helps with the cravings (somewhat)...what it decidedly does NOT help with is the downtime thing...like, ok, I just had dinner...now what do I do with myself in the interim 5 minutes that I *used* to smoke, before getting on with whatever it is I need to be doing, y'know? I'm all off kilter and out of step with myself. I'm sure it'll get better with time, at least I hope so...

:hug: for luck. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

36. Go for it Dolo Amber!!

You can do it!

Life is so much better after not smoking. REALLY!!!!!

Hoping for the best for you!

[SarahB]

38. You can do it!

I smoked a pack a day when I first got pregnant and quit right away- for 8 years! Then I had the stressful teaching job from Hell that precipated a career change and started up again, but only about 3-5 day (only smoked outside), then got pregnant a year later and quit for a year and a half. I started up again, still at 3-5 a day. Finally, last July, it just hit me that I didn't want to smoke anymore. I felt guilty about it and it just wasn't me, so I quit. Occasionally if I drink I crave one, but overall, I'm doing pretty good these days.

Continued best of wishes of your quest for healthy lungs! :toast:

[dolo amber]

43. Wow!

Thanks you guys! My internet's been down all day (@#%$#* RoadRunner :grr:) so I haven't been about to whine and ask for support...but you have NO idea how much I appreciate it!!! :hi: :yourock: :loveya:

[MuseRider]

58. If the patch does not work

try Commit lozenges. They are great, take about 45 minutes to dissolve so you still feel like you are doing something.

[FDRrocks]

33. I went to Home Depot...

to get a spare key made. I kept asking employees to make me a key (there's a sign on the machine saying not to operate it yourself), but they just kept telling me which aisle it was in. So I went there and figured it out myself and got yelled at by a manager for doing so. Great service.

Then I got the spare key stuck in my ignition. And.... yea, shoulda sprung for a better blank.

[SarahB]

52. I know how to make keys

YEars ago, I worked in a Mail Boxes Etc type place. I always had a hard time with the double sided ones though. :scared:

[WilliamPitt]

45. Left my childhood home for the last time

and played with my Blackberry. :)

[SarahB]

50. Well, that's a big deal too!

Those childhood homes are a big deal. I never really had one, but I've given one to others.

[MuseRider]

56. Ohhh Will

leaving your childhood home for the last time is a bummer. SOrry, I hated when I had to do that. Playing with your Blackberry? Well now.

[VelmaD]

66. You sure are having fun with the new toy

You are such a dork. ;-)

Hey. :hug: on having the leave the house for the last time. I can't imagine not having my home to go back to.

Hope you're doing ok. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

48. I absolutely love office supply stores, especially the paper and pen areas

all papers, even like accounting books and receipt books; all the pens and pencils and paper clips and staplers and post it notes...

ever since I was a child, I have LOVED the office supply areas of the drugstores, dimestores, and now, of course, we have STAPLES and OFFICE DEPOT! WOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Don't ask me why, it is just is. It's comforting just being there, like being in the womb again.

[carols]

54. Yes that is a good place, a comforting place

Earlier, I posted about my unnatural attachment to good writing implements, however the pen and pencil aisle at Office Depot - all I can say is, what a rush! I like the part where I stand in line with a new pen or pencil and a brand new writing tablet. That really rocks!
Carol

[SarahB]

55. You can hang with Carols and me and check out some mechanical pencils!

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

59. Aye, I like mechanical pencils

though now that I don't do engineering as a lifestyle, i don't use them very often.

I have a generic, but nice, pencil that I use for writing in books as I read.

And I have the AWESOME, preferred mechanical pencil, the Sanford LOGO II, 0.5 mm, in my filofax organizer. That pencil is NOT allowed to leave the filofax organizer.

[carols]

61. Absolutely! The more the merrier :-)

:yourock:

[VelmaD]

51. I goofed off a lot at work...

I went to the gym.

I had spinach tonight with dinner for the first time in years. It was yummy. (I'm trying to eat more veggies.) :)

I took a long hot bath and took care of my body for a bit. It was nice.

[SarahB]

53. I love spinach!

Yum! :P

(And what do you mean you took care of your body for a bit? :wow: )

[VelmaD]

64. Get your brain outta the gutter

Not that. :eyes:

I did maintenance type stuff. Shaving, exfoliating, cleaning out the pores, that kind of thing.

[SarahB]

67. I'm sorry

I'm terrible. Nice, sweetie-pie, cutsie, sensitive, flowery mommy on the outside- freaky wild chick on the inside. Heal my poor sinning soul!

Hey, at least I'm not flirting with any DU men too terribly anymore (mostly)! :evilgrin:

[VelmaD]

71. Hee...while your brain was in the gutter...

you didn't happen to see mine down there did ya? :)

And there ain't nothing wrong with flirting. Flirting is FUN! :)

[Interrobang]

60. I'm sitting here listening to goofy Israeli pop music!

It's neat, but since it's not in English I barely understand any of it...how messed is that? On the other hand, it's a great incentive to study more Hebrew!

(I also have music in French, which I sort of understand, German, which I understand slightly more than Hebrew because of all the cognates in it, and Urdu, which I understand none of. I just like foreign music!)

[SarahB]

78. That's neat

I've never heard it before, but sounds interesting. :) Here's to multicultural appreciation! :toast:

[NewHampster]

62. I use to own Macs

three actually, but I recovered years ago and I'm ok now.

[WilliamPitt]

65. Macs suck

:)

[VelmaD]

68. Oh lord...

here we go again.

[Donkeyboy75]

63. About ten years ago

in a survey of biology class in college, the prof said "penis," and I wasn't expecting it. I laughed, just like a six-year old would.


:headbang:

[SarahB]

77. I just had my 2 anatomy classes

Over the Summer and in the Fall. It was amazing the number of adults (and many of us are over age 30 returning students) who'd get all silly over the body part and bodily function stuff. Sometimes, it just happens though. :D

[SOteric]

69. Over the weekend, -

A 20 year old guy made a pass at me. :bounce: He was a honey, too!

[Rabrrrrrr]

70. But the IMPORTANT question is . . .

was he succesful?

And should Zomby include that incident in his poem?

[SarahB]

75. Makes me think of a scene in The World According to Garp

(One of my favorite novels and movies.)
Garps's wife is asking her graduate students to write down anonymously why they chose her course. One student hands in a paper that states, "From the moment a saw you, I knew I wanted to be your lover." Bad things happen to the poor, young dude later when he becomes her lover though.

I hear you. I'm blessed with young face genes (and live a simple, healthy lifestyle which contributes to it too), and every so often, I get that too. Big ego boost. :bounce:

[Cottonball]

72. That's funny

I went to two parent teacher conferences today also!! Now I just hope it earned me some sack time with the wife!:evilgrin: :spank: :bounce: :bounce:

[SarahB]

73. I don't think that'll be a problem

I hear she can be pretty easy even if you are a bad boy. :spank:

[Fight_n_back]

74. I love Hostess Cherry Pies

even though I don't even consider it food. Sometimes...I just havta have one.


And I miss Faygo Red Pop

[SarahB]

76. Oh, those are good.

I probably eat one every 5 years or so (that and Snowballs), but oh yum, sweet, sugary food-like substance. :P

[TXlib]

79. I got my "This Machine Kills Fascists" T shirt yesterday.

I ordered it from 99dogs.com, and it was custom made.

There was a neat graphic of people voting on the front. On the back, it said "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS", and had a picture of a ballot box.

I am hoping it pisses neo-con republicans off.

I'll wear it to the gym tonight!

[SarahB]

80. You'd better get extra pumped up

Just in case any of those good old boys takes offense. :D I've got a nice socialist t-shirt and a breastfeeding advocacy one that manages to piss people off enough.

[TXlib]

81. I'm kinda hoping some asshole neo-con freeper takes offense

and tries to pick a fight.

I'd love a legally defensible opportunity to kick the living shit out of one of them.

Yes, I hold a frightening amount of unfocused rage. It's just looking for a target.

[Butterflies]

82. I throw birthday parties for all of my pets

My 2 cats have the same birthday (but born 2 years apart) so that's one party, and 2 of my 3 dogs share a birthday too. Yesterday at work I mentioned the upcoming dog birthday, and my coworkers thought it was weird. I hadn't really considered that.

[Endangered Specie]

83. I Should be studying Laplace Transformations...

Instead of DUing

[Donkeyboy75]

84. Yuck

[TXlib]

85. That's fun stuff...

Ahh, Applied and Engineering Physics 321-322: Mathematical physics.

Good times! (No, I didn't say that sarcastically. Yes, I'm serious.)

[kitkatrose]

88. The only thing worse than physics

is math and physics in the same class. Fortunately, I'm only a bio major and have to take calculus 1 and physics two different years. On the brighter side, I get to take organic chemistry. Yippee!! :party:

[Bundbuster]

86. I had a Thrift Store High yesterday

Found an almost new all-cotton shirt - made in Pakistan no less - for &1.99, plus heavy duty cotton gym shorts for $2.49. I get much more satisfaction and joy from such finds than blue-haired Jaguar ladies spending $2000 at "Leather Luggage Is Me."

[kitkatrose]

87. Let's see.

I feel really happy that my cafeteria had good, fresh veggies for my salad.

My chemistry lab got canceled. :party:

And a personal relationship is moving along quite nicely. I like him, and he likes me. :)

[skippysmom]

89. I love Target

I went yesterday and picked up Clarke's book, the new Indigo Girls CD, a new picture frame, and Pounce for the kittens.

I am dieting and just lost my first 10 pounds, and decided I'd buy a season of Sex and the City for every 10 pounds I lost. If all goes according to plan I'll be 60 pounds lighter by the end of the year, and own the entire series.
