Weekly Update

This has been a long week, but I am rewarded with a long weekend! We have been painting this week. Okay, it was just two walls, but that's a lot to me and my husband, whose movements mimic the elderly. Neither of us have "Type A" personalities, so we don't get in much of a hurry for anything. We need to get our painting done soon, because our carpet is history in a couple of weeks! Yeah! We're replacing our carpet with wood floors (except for the bedrooms). The husband has been wanting this since we moved in, and I'm convinced that it's the right time to do it. I really miss our house right now, so I'm trying to turn this condo into a home. The red walls really helped. Now, I'm thinking about having my dad paint the kitchen cabinets red as well. It's not bright red. It's closer to a cayanne pepper red or something. The actual color is "Bold Terra Cotta," but it's not orange in any way.

Party time for Peanut Phobes!

I'm not celebrating because those that consume peanut butter are getting sick, but at least I'm not wondering if I have eaten any of the poonut butter myself. Woo hoo for faux peanut butter (Sunbutter made from sunflower seeds)!!!

Valentine's Day

This year, we didn't really celebrate like we have in the past. I think those days are over. The husband buys me flowers a few times a year, but I told him not to this year. I got a new dining room set and we're getting our floors soon, and I was happy with all of that (even though our checkbook was sad...okay, it was sobbing). We did go to the Coastal Grill to have dinner, though. It was packed with old people, like always. My coworker says that's the best sign when entering a restaurant. He says that old people know good food better than anyone else, so go where they do for a good meal. Maybe he's right. That is my favorite restaurant in this town because they always have amazing fresh fish on the menu. I had tuna and the husband got a pan fried trout. It still had its face on, and it was looking at me. I didn't taste it, but I didn't like it. I especially didn't like it staring at me! I don't know why he always has to order something crazy, but he is blessed with that gift. When that happens again, I'm going to make him turn his plate upside down, so his dinner doesn't watch me eat mine.

Panty Raid/Manty Raid

I worked on the husband's new manties tonight, but realize that the letters that I got were too big to put "I Love The Pussycat Dolls" so I just made a pair that said "I Love My Wife." I realized that I had an extra heart and plenty of letters to make myself a pair, and it seemed natural to profess my love for Jack Hanna on my panties. The husband liked both pairs. I think he has an idea that there is another pair coming, and his recent confession will be displayed on a pair of his manties very soon. He knows that I'm going through his underwear drawer and each pair will be personalized before long, so I guess that he's come to the conclusion that they might as well say something he likes. I just hope that the 30 and up crowd that he works with has outgrown the phase of depantsing each other. That would be really embarrassing for him!
* A special thanks to Ed, a friend of Jack Hanna's for stopping by to read the blog yesterday. I'm not surprised to hear that Jack is a really nice guy!
* Mrs. Coach - you will be happy to hear that the iron-on letters are really easy and it only took me about five minutes to make both of them! They're really easy! Don't worry if Mr. Coach doesn't jump up and down when you give his first pair of personalized manties to him. After I gave my husband his third or fourth pair, he stopped rolling his eyes. Now, he just smiles, keeps his mouth shut and wears them with pride.



This is the husband showing off his sweet moves at Dance Dance Revolution. Dan is in the background patiently awaiting his turn, while Jennifer is amazed at his ability to hold his beer while dancing like a professional.

Jenn had her turn to show off, too! Of course, she got a bunch of A's, but later that night, I made my first A in dancing, and there were many more that followed. Carrie definitely got her groove back!

Daniel was a first-timer at DDR, so we have to cut him a little slack. He'll be more comfortable on the dance floor next time. :) I was photographer, but I'll make sure there are some pictures of me dancing very soon!!!

Random nothings

I had to work late tonight, so I stopped by and picked up my favorite treat for dinner - fish tacos!!! It sounds weird, but they're awesome! The ones I had tonight have some sort of white fish, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and some sort of spicy sauce on them. Yum! The Cheesecake Factory also serves them, but very different. Theirs have whatever kind of fresh fish they have that day, topped with cabbage and mandarin oranges. My favorite fish is the Albacore on theirs. Everyone should try them once! I got the husband some beefy ones. He had one of mine and seemed to really enjoy it. He's not the fish lover that I am, though.

So, we watched American Idol as we had dinner. Out of nowhere, the husband blurted out that he liked the dark-headed girl from the Pussycat Dolls. It was almost Tourette-like. Like he had been holding it in long enough, but he just had to get it out in the open tonight. I just busted out laughing because it's so not like him to say stuff like that. He knows that I have a huge crush on Jack Hanna and Shaun the diver, but he never shares his crushes with me. It is so hilarious! He doesn't know it, but he's getting some (more) personalized manties (man panties) for Valentine's Day this year. One pair will definitely say "I LOVE THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS!" across his butt. He has some that say "I love my wife" and "I love Carrie" and "Property of Carrie" and he actually wears them. It all started when I splashed bleach on his blue briefs a few years ago. I felt bad, so I made it into a heart and wrote "CB" with a Q-Tip dipped in bleach. He thought it was nice, so I (being me) took it to the next level (some may say over the edge) and got some iron-on transfers and printed up all sorts of things and ironed them all over his briefs. I bought some big, black iron-on letters and some embroidered red hearts to do the special Valentine version of his personalized manties. I will post pictures if Blogger will let me.

DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) Update

We dusted off the dance pad over the weekend while our friends were in town. Of course, Jenn had to show off her fancy moves while I did my mediocre version of dancing while pretending to have rhythm. (I wasn't terribly successful) Keep in mind - Jenn was a club girl in college, while I guess I was more of a club sandwich girl or something. I've never been a clubbing-type person. Anyways, after they left, the husband and I kept dancing and I made an "A" for the first time! I get pretty good after a while. We played again last night. Tonight might bring more dancing. I now have to compete with a Pussycat Doll, so I might have to learn some new, sweet moves or something. HEE HEE! (as if!)

No way!

I recently added "Stat Counter" to my blog. I never really knew about this tool, but it's just amazing! I can see where the people that view my site are from and how they find my blog. Someone stumbled across me by searching "Gotta go potty bathroom" on Google.
Well, whoever you are, I hope you found what you needed. If you need assistance using the restroom, you're worse off than me! If you crapped your pants because you didn't find the help you needed in time, tell me about it and I'll share it with everyone. That's what I'm all about! I just share stories (usually my own) about using the restroom or other acts of nastiness. I apologize for not being more helpful.

The good news is that I can see how many people stop by each day, and I know that most people do not leave comments. That's okay. I know who you are. :)
