Here and There

No time or brainpower to sit down and compose a well thought out post. Random thoughts or bits of stories that I have been meaning to share is all you're going to get outta me on a Monday!

E's been her usual chatty self lately, coming out with a few gems:

David: "Sweetie, lean back. I'm trying to wash your hair out."
Ella: "I'm busy playing."
David: "I'm busy trying to give you a bath!"
Ella: "Well, that's not my problem!"
That's what I call some sassin'!

I try, as hard as I can, to give Ella some sort of an accent. The bland
Kansanese here is winning the battle, but I will take my victories (no matter
how small) whenever I can get them. The other night all the stars were aligned
just right because she said 'y'all', 'fixin' to' and (drumroll, please) 'THA Wal-
Mart'. I gave her an extra little treat, just because her mama love love loves to
hear that kind of talk!

Is it neccesarily bad if I take my prenatal vitamin with a gulp of beer?

I need my roots touched up, pronto.

I wore a watch with a dead battery all day Friday. I knowingly put it on that way.

I sneezed a sum total of 732 times Sunday. WTF?!

New panties make me happy. And hell no, they're not maternity. Please girls, don't ever do that to yourselves or your husbands! Those things are vile!

How much would it cost for Merry Maids to clean my filty, squalor-ish house? Must investigate.

If I leave David's resume under his pillow, will the job fairy come?

Last week while cruising down a four lane, a guy pulls even with me and starts pointing, trying to talk to me. I'm utterly confused until I see his Georgia G sticker on the back of his vehicle. He had seen my sticker and license plate and wanted to say Go Dawgs! (Yep, we rolled down our windows and chatted while driving down the road. He was from Monroe!)

Seeing a friendly "G" in a land of majority other letters ("A" for instance) is always a happy occasion! I've had 4 people tell me they like my sign in my car! It's so nice to see a friendly face in the land of foe!

Boring Kansanese accent! Us Kansasans don't have an accent. You guys from the south and north have accents! Talk about accents, our neighbors and us hosted British soccer coaches last week...oh yeah they had accents. Just like harry, eh.

Hey Miss Georgia Peach, if you've ever talked to Jason, you will notice he has the distinct "Kansas Twang". In fact, he used to pronounce his name "Jaaaay-son" (until countless army folks teased the twang out of him.) My mom STILL calls him that, thinking that is the way to say Jason. (Now, try to imagine a lady with a Filipino accent trying to imitate a Kansas twang, and you will see why I try hard not to laugh at my mamma.)
Your sneezing, I suspect, is from all that lovely extra estrogen, which causes increased nasal stuffiness, blood congestion in your nose, and sneezing. Proud of Miss Southern Belle Ella!

It's been my experience that you never know when the job fairy is going to show up!
