Hey Now! A Random Bullet List!
A few random thoughts I’ve had recently, which leads to stream of consciousness:
- Are there animals that won’t eat the food they’re meant to eat? Like, animal picky eaters? Grizzly bears who don’t like salmon, or lions that don’t like gazelle?
- Why, OH WHY? does Dylan like “Little Bill” so much?
- Is it weird that I like Miss Spider’s Sunny Patch so much?
- WTF is wrong with Twitter?
- Why is it so difficult to put laundry away once I’ve washed, dried & folded it?
- I would have been a horrible pioneer wife.
- Remember the game “Oregon Trail”?
- I loved that game.
- Is it REALLY that difficult to throw your garbage away? There’s even a garbage bag ON THE FLOOR in the kitchen right now. You don’t even have to open a freakin’ cabinet.
- I need a whole new wardrobe for BlogHer.
- No, I don’t.
- Yes, I do.
- And a few new bags AND some new shoes.
- And maybe a new notebook, you know, to take notes.
- I love TJ Maxx.
- And Target.
- And Ann Taylor Loft.
- Why do people drive like such assholes?
- Why not just get in the left hand turn lane if you KNOW you’re going to need to get over to the left IMMEDIATELY after turning?
- Yes, I DID just give you the finger and yell an obscentiy. Thank you for returning it, you moron.
- Remember that time we were leaving a Yankee game in gridlock traffic and I had my window down and my dad decided not to let the scary looking guy in the beater car in on the Major Deegan and from two feet away from me he yelled obscentities at us? That was fun.
- All together now: ”Yay for Run On Sentences!”
- Why did I lose three subscribers between Monday and now?
- I have so few to begin with, three is, like, almost 10%. That’s a lot.
- If the damned dog doesn’t stop whining soon I’m going to have his vocal cords removed.
- If the damned dog doesn’t stop pacing soon I’m going to have his legs removed.
- Maybe the dog needs to pee.
- I need to pee.
- And get more iced tea.
- If fire season is this bad already, what does that mean for the rest of the summer?
- The new Goleta (Gap) fire (mentioned in the story above) is freakishly close to my in-laws house.
- What if they can’t come to my Fourth of July Party because their house burns down?
- Am I really more worried about my party than I am about their house burning down?
- Yes.
- But not really.
- Well, maybe a little.
- Will Dylan spend the entire day on Friday inside because he’s going to be scared shitless of all the fireworks?
- Probably.
- Will my sister-in-law be talking to us again and come to the party on Friday?
- Probably not.
- Why is Zach suddenly a shitty napper?
- Doesn’t he know that naps will put mommy him in a better mood?
- Dear Mayor of Goleta: Maybe don’t say “Welcome to the City of Goleta! We’re all very happy that you’re here!” when speaking at a news conference about a fire that threatens your town.
- It makes you sound like an ass.
- How many more things can I come up with so that I don’t have to go clean the bathrooms?
- Did you all see that Nicole, of NY Girl Eats World, left a comment yesterday?!
- I love her even more now!
- Do you think I can track her down when I’m in NY in September?
- That way I can meet her and the lovely Z!
- Did my children make a pact that they won’t sleep at the same time?
- Little shits.
- I came up with a new tag line last night.
- Now I can’t remember it.
- Damn it.
- Okay, I’m off to get the little one and figure out how to keep him contained and quiet while I clean the bathroom.
Toodles, lovelies!

People are totally going to keep giving you the finger if you continue toblog while you’re driving. And if you’re that in to “Miss Spider” you really should turn it off and watch “Mad Men” like I told you.

-I would qualify cat’s as picky eaters, but maybe they pick it up from us humans.
-Dylan is a boy (enough said)
-I have the same problem with laundry it gets sorted, washed, folded and then just sits there looking at me. On the positive you always know where your favorite items of clothing are. Funny thing Emily’s clothes somehow are the only ones that actually get put away and ironed!
-I would make a killer Pioneer wife!
-Oregon Trail rocks!
-You do need a new wardrobe – with all the hard work on All Mediocre you definitely deserve it. Come shop with me in Smoky SB!
-In my book all drivers suck, except me of course
-Put the dog out for heavens sake
-I watched the pretty Fire from my bedroom window last night – it was Perdy!
-The Fire is pretty close to our house too! I actually thought about packing a bag.
-Can we come to your 4th of July Party?? If I promise to make some awesome Brownies!
-Just give Dylan a sparkler – he won’t be scared, boys are pyros anyways
-Zack’s a crappy napper because inside his baby brain he knows what buttons to push to make mommy crazy.
-The Mayor of Goleta is smoking something – that comment was to funny at the Press Confrence
-My bathrooms are lucky if they get cleaned once a month – Working mommies unite!
- Don’t you know about the Baby Handbook, it’s in Chapter 3 “How to drive your mother insane – Don’t nap when she wants you to and if you have a sibling make sure one of you is always up on watch”
-I hope your bathrooms are clean now that you have read through my lame-o comment!
Just remember: Always remember that you’re unique. Just like everyone else.

Natalie-
Your list isn’t lame, it’s AWESOME! And you’re totally invited to our halloween party, although we live in Santa Maria…but you’re welcome to make the drive because we’re having fireworks! And alcohol! And our neighbors puts up road blocks and we party on the street all day. Totally classy. And fun.
And if you live that close to the fire, then you’re aware of the intersection that I was referring to in my post: Fairview/Calle Real/101 Overpass area- HATE. Whoever designed that is quite possibly the lamest person ever. Unless it was someone in your family, in which case it’s BRILLIANT!
And we’re totally going shopping. And to lunch. And to the zoo, if we have time! :0)

Oh and Hi! It’s not a Halloween party! It’s a 4th of July Party and I SWEAR I’m not on crack. Just sleep deprived!
[Reply]
Natalie on 02 Jul 2008 at 4:30 pm #
I know the Sleep Deprived feeling – Emily is teething over here – just when she was starting to sleep through the night! It’s that darn Baby Handbook I tell ya.
I hate that intersection too! the lights are way to long also. I could sit there an knit a blanket before the light changes.
No, no one in my family designed that doozy! so yes the designer is a lame-o.
Hey, my hubby just got evacuated out of his office up on Holiday Hill Road at the top of Fairview – you better go check on the In-Laws.
Dang, your party sounds so much better than the one I have to go to. The average age at ours is 70+ up on the Riveria with all the snooty folks.
I miss setting off real fireworks! it’s no fun with the 70+ geriatric crowd but I have to be the dutiful granddaughter ya know.
Hey we should get together and have a Fiesta party! Take the kids to the Rodeo, maybe Dylan wants to do some Mutton Bustin’

I have the exact same problem with the laundry. And I love “Little Bill”but not at much as I despise “Caillou.”

Headless Mom on 02 Jul 2008 at 5:01 pm #
I love Little Bill but my boys only liked it for about 5 minutes.
I just found out that some close relatives aren’t coming to my party on Sat. because one of them thought that I told them to come “dressed appropriately”. WTF? I would never say that to anyone, much less them.
Grrr.

1. We can totally try to stalk Nicole together when you are here! YAY!
2. How do you see how many people are subscribing to you? I’ve tried (albeit not very hard) and can never figure that part of blogging out…
3. My bathroom currently smells like wet dog. I am not cleaning it. Because? We start our move tomorrow!!! Squee!!!
4. Actually, I probably will clean it. I need my deposit back.
5. I hate cleaning bathrooms…

I love Target, T.J. Maxx and Ann Taylor Loft too! And what IS wrong with Twitter? We don’t get along very well. And the folding and putting away of laundry, well that will forever be a bee on my bonnet…
Love this random list. I’ve been known to compile a few of these in my time too.

MiniMe loves Little Bill, too. And while I really don’t get it, the one that really gets to me is Oswald. Just hearing that octopus cry out in his little voice for “Wienie” (his dachshund) alternately irritates the heck out of me and cracks me up. But I suppose if I were a man with eight-hands, I’d be spending a lot of time with my wienie…er…pet dachshund…too.

I just learned to use google reader…and I added you to it!! So there you go, you should have gone up at least one reader yesterday.
And, you crack me up. And, I’m still really freaking jealous about the whole blogher thing, but it’s not keeping me from loving you.

I’m sorry, but I will NOT ALLOW you to watch Miss Spider when you are my roommate at BlogHer. That show gives me the creeps. I like “Little Bill.” Hahaha
I’m questioning the BlogHer wardrobe,too.
Now, wouldn’t all of these juicy tidbits – random thoughts, qualify for Twittering? Just being an ass…

OOOOHHHH I love Quart even more now. I, too am a Mad Man fan. Just 3 more weeks!!!
I often wonder why my kids like Spongebog so much, but even more amazing is that with Digital Cable, it seems to ALWAYS BE ON at least one channel. It is a phenomenon.

Yeah…. I have a stack of folded laundry in three rooms in my house and they have been there for over a week now. I’m just getting dressed in the kitchen, now, basically.

OH so true….I have banned myself form buying more laundry baskets because I know I will just fill them with folded clothes and stack them up like the ones I have now…

sheasy-
Ha! DJ got totally annoyed with me the other day because he was looking for his jeans and I told him they were in the toy basket. He didn’t believe me and was digging through the laundry basket on the floor in front of the toy basket. BUT, there were actually IN the toy basket, right were I put them, along with a few shirts, so that they wouldn’t get wrinkled. At least they were folded!
That’s totally the right place for that, isn’t it?

Jennifer H on 03 Jul 2008 at 6:00 pm #
Laundry! Never gets put away in my house. My kids don’t even look in their dresser drawers first if they need underwear sometimes. They know their chances are better of finding it in a basket.
I hate laundry.
But I love this list. Funniest thing I’ve read all day!

You are so FUNNY.
Maybe if everyone switched houses to put laundry away it would be more interesting…she types as a stack of laundry waist high is 6 feet from her laundry-putting-away-aversion self.
Too cool that your girl crush commented. I bet you can track, I mean STALK her in NY…

You’re funny! I was just talking about that trash on the floor issue myself. Apparently, it doesn’t get any better as they get older.
I’m loving this font.
