I have good news. I’m not so grouchy anymore. At least not that I know of. Sometimes, it comes back when Matt is around. Technically it’s not him. It’s because I’m so freaking comfortable around him I can be Godzilla. Ahhh, marriage. Lucky Matt Hall. I’m also good at leaving my crap at the door when I come to work. No I don’t poop at the door (weirdo.) but sometimes I can pick up my mood right off where it I left it. Call me…. talented.
Anyhooo. I just ate a bowl of oatmeal on a Friday afternoon. I bought a cookie for my afternoon snack but ate that for my morning snack which was my oatmeal.
Think about that one for a while folks.
I’m GROUCHY today. Actually, I’ve been grouchy all week. Seriously, steer clear. As Jenny used to say when I was pregnant (and grouchy), “Don’t poke the bear.”
So I used my drill last night. I tell you the only thing that is keeping me from being a master carpenter is patience, and space, and tools, and well, skills. I ruined my little sewing box. I guess it was already broken but I screwed up the broken leg part and I painted it all wrong. The paint dried drippy and uneven. It sucks. Granted, my little apartments living room floor spread with grocery bags while watching The Office was probably an ineffective way to paint and drill. Hmph. Maybe I’ll write more later when I don’t feel so pissy.
Oh yeah, Ella has begun the “WHY?” stage. Why is it raining, Mom? Well because it’s spring. Why is it spring? Winter is over. Warming trends, blah blah blah. Why does it rain in Spring? Why does it make me wet? Why? Why? Why?
Well, Momma got a drill today. (Okay, I promise never to call myself “Momma” again. It just sounded right, OK?) I got plans to use it too. I have this cool little sewing box I hold my bills in that broke so I am going to replace the bottom and paint it. I’m excited. Matt thinks it’s dumb that I spent 36.00 dollars on a drill and paint for a five dollar box. You know what I say? Matt’s dumb. (*spoken in ten year old defense tone*) Yeah, that’s right. Maybe I’ll do before and after pics on it. I think I am going to make a desk too. The problem with that is I have no outdoor space to assemble it. I’ll figure it out.
I bought a Blizzard for lunch today. It had a online code that you could win stuff with. I went online and clicked on the page I needed to enter my code when a little message came up that said, “You are entering to win… A years worth of Blizzards”. Dear Lord. A years worth of blizzards? I was almost praying I didn’t win! Imagine if I had won! There would have been no stopping me! Holy cow- I would have turned into a Holy cow! Hehe. I didn’t win anyways.
Rando-blog 3-27
- Yesterday Ella, Matt and me went and did something cool. One of the old theaters in town show vintage cartoons and brunch. It was cheap, really yummy and I love old Daffy Duck and Popeye. I think it’s a new Sunday tradition.
- I want to go to Ireland. Do you want to take me?
- After living in Minneapolis a year, I finally broke down and listened to AirAmerica. Stephanie Miller is super funny- if your liberal. It’s like Liberal Slapstick. I steered clear of it because, well, as liberal as I am I thought thought it would be annoying. After literally being forced to listen, I realize I was wrong- its funny. Noone said that I was on the cusp of exciting, cool stuff. It took me four Harry Potters to come out before I picked one up. Yeah, I doubt most everything.
- 79 degrees out today. HOLY FRIJOLES!!!
Sunday morning. Ella is watching Pinocchio and I am thinking about the crazy shit that happens in these old Disney movies.
- Pinnochio: Loads of smoking. Everyone smokes in the movie- even the puppet. Right now he is sitting and drinking a beer and smoking. At one point there is even a huge mechanical Cigar Indian tossing cigars out into a crowd!
- Dumbo: Baby elephants on hallucinogenic trips and racist stereotypes. Wonderful.
- Snow White: Necrophiliac-like obsessed dwarfs and prince. (Why else would all of these little men hold onto a dead girls body? Ewww.)
- Sleeping Beauty: Communist evil fairy. In front of her castle is a big stone fist.
- Cinderella: Child abuse.
Well, that is all I could think of. I’m not watching Pinnochio very closely but I am sure there is rampant racism in throughout that one too.
Chew on that.
So a quick blog here. On Wednesday my mom and me went and saw The Glass Menagerie at the Guthrie Theater. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!! The theater was amazing, stunning, breathtaking. The set was so cool and the actors/actresses were good. The seats were crappy. I had a krick in my neck. I do want to go to the theater WAY more often though. Loved it. I went to Domestic Abuse Advocate training the last couple days. Watch out world- Chrissy is getting ideas…
Well, I figured I needed to write a blog just to get weird bacteria names off the top title of my page. That can probably be upsetting to some. It’s been a wild and crazy couple of months. During January and February we have had a cross-train (or two) staying at our house. Our last guy finally left at the beginning of March. Matt’s brother Nathan came for a week after that and this weekend my sister, my brother in law, nephew, mom and brother came to visit. My mom and Eric are leaving on Thursday. Hot dog, I love it when my family visits. I bet the neighbors think I’m running a boarding house. No complaints though. I’m not lonely at all these days plus my house stays cleaner! Well anyways, here’s my blog for today. Better than reading about about bacteria, right?
PS: What is up with my freaking weird blog titles?
So as everyone know, I like to dabble in the hippy arts. My new thing? Kombucha tea. It’s crazy shit. Check out the website. I used to drink it from the Thriftway in West Seattle. *sniff* That’s my favorite grocery store (besides Trader Joe’s). Now I can get it at the Coop by my house for a mere four dollars a bottle. I could make my own but check out the article- I don’t know if I’m ready for that. Anyways,right now I am drinking over two billion probiotic organisms. Yummy.
(Go ahead, sing the Title of my blog today!)
Tips of the day:
- Do NOT decide that 10:30 is a good time to take a sleeping pill when you have to wake up at 7 in the morning. It is not a good time. It makes you act like a drug addict when you get to work. Give yourself at least 10 hours to climb out of the stupor.
- Ladies- it’s getting to be deodorant season again. For the next seven months or so deodorant will no longer be optional. Guys- no deodorant is never an option.
- Don’t tell a 3 year old that ‘poop’ and ‘peepee’ are DIRTY words. They think that they can call things like dirty snow POOPY and PEEPEE then because, ahem, it’s dirty. Tell them that they have a potty mouth instead. That makes them think for a little bit.
That’s it.
Okay, so a year ago or so I answered a Craigslist ad for some guy writing a book called, “The Absolutely Worst Places to Live in America” wanting to know about crappy places in the US. I don’t know why I responded, but I did and it looks like I made it in the book. I just googled myself to see if this new blog came up (which it didn’t) and I saw an article about the book and my quote. I just paid 2.75 to buy the article from the newspaper and now I will share it with you. I would publish the whole article but due to my high readership (hahahaha) I’m worried about copyright infringements. Oh, it’s making me laugh hysterically. I’m going to have to buy check out the book. I’m such a nerd. Here ya go,
But then Chrissy ___ reports of “Dodge City, Kansas” that the whole wild-west tourist town smells of “cows and their poo.”
How embarrassing. I always knew I would be published, but, ahem, not like this. This is worst than the quote I had about infected tongue ring piercings in my college newspaper. (You can google that one too.)
