Look! It's a bag of me!

 I bet no one actually expected a bag of me!

Something happened today.  Something that usually doesn't happen in the winter, at least not where I live.  The sun was out!  It's still cold and snowy and so obviously winter, but we actually got to see the sun.  Because of that, we spent most of the day outside.  When it finally got dark, I put the bounce house up to occupy Pie while I tried to write something, but ten minutes later, I found myself in it with her instead.  Now, I'm too exhausted to even think of anything to write about.  But, I did promise a couple people that I'd get my (completely awesome) tapeworm pictures moved down, so here's some pictures no one else cares about and a few random thoughts.

We got Pie a bounce house for Christmas this year.


I'm outrageously jealous of it.  George won't let me bounce in it, despite the fact that I'm well under the 400 pound weight limit.  He keeps insisting that the limit is based on 400 pounds of children and it doesn't matter if I'm no where near it, it's not meant for adults.  George is a funsucker.  Let's take one more look at all this awesome!


Who wouldn't want to bounce in that?  I mean besides my husband and any other funsucker.

I also briefly considered deleting yesterday's post, partly because it was mean, but mostly because I should probably avoid getting myself into trouble.  Not with the husband--he thought it was great, but with the rest of the family.  Then, I thought about it a little more.  When you steal someone's wedding set (at Thanksgiving dinner, no less) you open yourself up to being compared to a tapeworm.  And the tapeworm will probably end up as the better option.  Consequences, folks.  Besides (and it wouldn't come as a surprise if this was just me) it was hilarious.

I'm also considering changing my creepy eye picture.  I know it freaks a few people out, but I really like the creepy eye picture.  I woke up to that monstrosity a few days before I found out I was knocked up and I like to think of it as Pie's first act of violence to me.  Plus, I have fond memories of using it to thoroughly terrify my former boss.  I liked my former boss, but it was still fun.  I don't really have another picture to replace it with.  I mean, I guess I could take a normal eye picture, but that's just not as much fun.  I could put up a real picture, but I like to pretend not having a real picture means I'm still anonymous.  I wasn't planning to use my real name, either, and I've already done that.  Maybe I'll take a poll to see how many people it actually bothers.

Oh!  Since I'm rambling with no clue what I'm talking about, I might as well brag for a minute.  I changed a fuse today!  By myself!  I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but I'm scared beyond reason of my spider infested basement, so this was huge accomplishment.  That's all.  Better stuff tomorrow.

  1. You went in the basement and changed a fuse???? I think I felt a shift in the earth's axis...

    Also, thank you for this post and pushing the other down so that I no longer see it when I check for new blogs. And I only checked three times today rather than my normal 8-10...yes, I am your creepy stalker, the creepy stalker who adores the eye!!!

    And it must have been a bounce house sort of day because my kids bounced here today as well. I've only gotten in once...

    In other news, there is no other news.....the cake is a lie.

  2. Please keep the eye photo. It's what I first think of now when you cross my mind, and I have become rather partial to it.

  3. @akpeach--I need to get used to going in the basement if that's where we're putting the home theater.

    That post may end up coming down altogether. I feel pretty bad about it right now. Also, it's not stalking if you don't look in the windows. And even if you do, I've always wanted a stalker.

    @jordiepantz--You have no idea how happy that makes me. I find it fantastic that I'm first and foremost associated with my eye hemorrhage! True story, yo!
