"I don't think we should be friends" Ah! I have to pee! Boom! Crash! Cat Food!

Good Morning World! I’m up! Eating oranges, listening to Bob Marley! Love me some Bob.
So last night was the first time in awhile that I almost peed my pants I laughed so hard. Last night all I wanted to do was buy sundresses (I’m wearing one today even though it’s like 30 degrees outside right now, hey it’s going to be like 50 later…) and I wanted Twilight. Done! But while me and Georgia were at Wal-Mart shopping, I was trying to tell her the just of the story, so I got really close to her neck and said in my deep manly voice, “I don’t think we should be friends.” Now this is funny for 2 reasons, I am 5 foot 3 and Georgia is a good model’s height, so I’m on tiptoe and because it just tickles when someone talks into your neck. Which started the event of G and I wandering through Wal-Mart trying to “get” each other with the “I don’t think we should be friends” Manly voice, part of this was done with me trying to hold a million pound cat food bag. I’m surprised that this bag made it home in one piece. But we got some of the oddest looks because we were laughing so loud (we don’t care) and I started to do the chipmunk laugh (my classic high pitched laugh) for a good 5 min straight. I couldn’t breath. But it was really funny. The joke continued all night, and I about peed my pants trying to stay away from G in the parking lot of our apartment and trying to carry the million pound bag of cat food.
There is another story that is hilarious about my dad and tampons. My dad is a very generous man and he always knows where the good buys are. And let me say I am always very appreciative of the good buys he gets me! I love my Poppi! But last night he and my mom call me from the store and my mom tells me there is a sell on tampons and then that my dad wants to talk to me. Dad gets on the phone and explains to me about the super tampons that are on sell and asks me if I want some, I say sure! And then he asks me how often do I use those things….with out a beat I say, at least once a month. (ba-dum-ching!) I love my dad.
So other news in my life, the bf (JustAnUglyMonkey) has now not called in 3 days, and of course I’m worried, but again I know he’s alive somewhere. I know, I know why don’t I call him? Well the last thing I said to him was a text that said I love you and I got nothing back. So I’ve been holding my ground, waiting for a reply…. At first. But then I had time to think. We had problems a few weeks ago. He had a weird freak out, and there were some stressful things going on in his life so I understood and we decided to work on us. So things were good for a few days and I thought they would get better, but I am realizing that I don’t think they will. I don’t like the person that he is right now, which is really strange to say because just a few weeks ago we were fine, we were really good I thought. I've always thought he was a good person, he has a very giving heart and yeah he's a smartass, but it was always pretty funny. Maybe he is just having some issues and needs some time to work things out. But, if he continues to be this person that he is being I don’t think I want to be around him, he just doesn’t treat me very nice, and I’ve always been pretty good to him, I haven’t been perfect, but who is? So that is my new thoughts on it, so going on 3 days and no word.
But something strange happened last night, I found an old journal of mine that I wrote, “The List” on when I was very young I started a list that I completely forgot about. It was about the man I wanted. I added and subtracted to it, but I guess it’s been about 7 good years since I looked at it. And I thought wow, this guy is wonderful, I love him. Now we all know that there is no completely perfect person out there, but there are some that come pretty close. I decided to make my grown up 25-year-old list of what I want in a man.

The Weekend of "I think it's raining in my closet"

Well it was a weekend. I got to hang out with my family in the park on Saturday and it was BEA-U-tiful! And eat some good food. There are like 18 million of us so it was good to see a lot of them and joke with my uncles and cousins. I got to hang out with my dad, which is fun, he took good care of my car and got the oil changed.
Saturday night hung out with Georgia, JustAnUglyMonkey called to say hi and he loved me, he was working late.
Sunday woke up to go down my mom and dad’s house for Sunday and Monday and what do I see?!?!? I have a flat tire!!!! The nice guy from next door walked by and said that he tried to tell me that yesterday, but I thought he was just waving to me…. I’m a nerd. So he came by and put my donut on for me. Ray is my Hero! Big hugs for Ray! But the tire place was closed on Sunday so miss Georgia so kindly let me take her other car to Auburn. It has no air conditioner, which I said was fine, at least it had all four tires on it. But half way there I had sweat in places that have probably haven’t had sweat before, so I stuck my head out of the window like a dog, I can now see why they like it, it’s refreshing and somewhat like you are flying …. Until you get a bug in your face….blah!
Mom and dad (Blondie and Poppi as I call them) watched movies and Gilmore Girls, which I am in love with. The Blondie and I baked cookies and brownies, Poppi ate them. Monday was a beautiful day! I took off Monday to spend time with them, the Blondie has been kind of sick and Poppi hasn’t been feeling good, plus I missed them. It was a good time. It stormed on Monday night, let me tell you I am afraid of storms, not really storms, but tornados. The second there is a tornado watch I have to be in a place with a basement or I start to hyperventilate or throw up, I don’t know how I developed this but I have, true story, I even take meds for it. So I’m up watching the weather on TV, and mom is up she thinks her closet is raining, ha ha I think she was still asleep, she checks no rain in the closet it’s just outside. Oh well back to sleep. No call or text from JustAnUglyMonkey on Sunday or Monday, but I’m pretty sure he’s alive.

Oh! Watched Australia over the weekend was a good movie but I kept thinking it was ending and it would start up again! It’s like gottacha! There’s even more to this story! It did that like 3 times! We kind of sat around when it ended like…is this really it? Can I pee now?

In the beginning, there was a really long pointless explanation!

So this is my blog. I’ve always wanted to have one, I have a failed attempt at my myspage account, so hopefully this won’t fallow in its tracks. Few reasons for this blog, I wanted a way to document my detox/weight loss what-not, AND at work I send out these email update that are pretty much to tell everyone what we have left to do on a project, but at the beginning of each email I usually, if in the mind to have a little blurb about my life or something, it’s creepy but I feel like I have a captive audience that I get to share my quirky life with. My boss calls them Amanda-grams, and more than anything else I get comments on them. So I have decided in this REALLY long explanation that I’m not sure I need because everyone knows what blogs are about, to write a blog. ( this makes all lets get together and blog about blogging jokes really funny now) So ground rules!

• I am a really bad speller, have really bad grammar sometimes, I write like I talk. (insert moron joke here)
• A very important person (my roommate) name will be changed to what one man said in a shop should be her real name, GEORGIA!, to protect the innocent not so innocent.
• My boyfriend works for the city, we have been together for 7 years, he’s my buddy and I love him with every fiber in me, we will call him JustAnUglyMonkey.
• I maybe boring or crazy or creepy, just a warning. (another warning, I don’t like to toot my own horn, but I’ve been known to make people laugh so hard they pee their pants, true story, but usually it’s when I’m ACTUALLY there so I don’t think you’ll have a problem. But, just wanted to let you know just in case you were in a public place reading sometime and you might have the need to back yo’ self into the potty.

Now that I have that out of my system! (I don’t know why I feel the need to explain myself, but I guess that just what I do.) On with my day! Today! I woke up early, Mason, my roommate, GEORGIA’s cat, was asleep on my face like he is every morning, snoring and farting. (yes, he’s part skunk) I chuck him off to the side and flip on the tube to check out the weather, yadda yadda yadda. Go to the living room to retrieve clothes to wear to work out of the pile that goes up to my hip, that is still in the living room that I need to fold (Sorry Georie) Fridge, Milk, Shower...ahhhhhhhh. out COLD! Contact, contact. floss. brush. lotion! Blow dry hair, and hour later my hair is dry, curl hair, clothes, run out door, run back to door and lock it. ( I’m not sure if I’m OCD but I do that like every day even if I did lock it, weird.)

I drive to work, it’s a pretty short 5 min on the highway I like it. I got dressed walking from my room to the door of the apt so I never glanced in the mirror at myself, but I’ve noticed in the bathroom today if my shirt gets pulled taught you can see my amazing poky-dot bra! I didn’t notice it really well, and no one has said anything so I think I’m in the clear as long as I don’t pull on it. Okay going to go for now, this might get even longer than it is, we’ll talk later! Bye!
