Thirteen Random Things I Want to Write About
- Kendall had a dream two nights ago that Sheryl Crow wanted to hang out with us on New Year's Eve and we brushed her off because we already had plans to hang out with our friends Todd and Kerry. But then we told her she could tag along! LOL!
- I had a dream two nights ago that my car got towed when I used Valet Parking. The bellhop at the hotel offered to buy me a new stove to make me less mad.
- I busted out my first pair of knee socks for the fall season yesterday. It was cold enough here to wear pants so I pulled them on and was so happy. I LOVE knee socks!
- I'm already getting annoyed by one of my co-workers. I've complained about her in the past. She's the other English teacher. It seems that each year she gets more annoying and more difficult.
- I bought two pairs of jeans from GAP.com and they were totally worth the 90 dollars I spent on them. I haven't bought a new pair of jeans in at least 2 years and my old ones were getting ratty at the bottom. These jeans are nice and long and I don't even have to worry about putting them in the dryer and them shrinking at the bottom! WOOO HOO!
- We've been taking the dogs for a walk every night. We walk by this house that has a beagle. He runs out every night to bark at us from behind his invisible fence. I've named him Duke. Because I hate just saying "Hi doggy!" Kendall is worried that other people will hear my calling him Duke and start doing it too! I think it would be funny!
- I busted two girls for cheating today. I totally ripped into them in front of the whole class. Made an example out of them. One girl was letting the other one copy her homework for Science. The lame excuse the one girl gave, "She said she just wanted to check her answers." Yeah, my response, "Her paper was blank! What was there to check?!?!" It was awesome. At the end, one girl said, "I was scared Mrs. Erdahl!" And another kid said, "I'd never do that in your class now!"
- We're totally in love with our new next door neighbors. They're awesome! They're our age, they love to go out, and they don't have any problem leaving their kid with a sitter so we can have adult time. I think that we might see if they want to go to Las Vegas with us after their daughter is born this winter. They love going there and we've never been. Plus, he's a pilot....free/cheap flights?????
- Morrie has a serious gas problem. Ever since we put him on this prescription dog food he has ginormous farts. They practically propel him across the room. And they sound like human farts! How is that possible?!?! He has no butt cheeks! Isn't that part of what makes a fart a fart?
- Speaking of ginormous....Kendall gave me a Nike golf ball that has that word printed on it. That's AWESOME! I LOVE that our language has evolved into blended works. I say ginormous all the time. I also say Fantabulous.
- I've decided that I want to name a second son Mitch. I like the name. It sounds fun on the tongue. Kendall dislikes that you can rhyme is with bitch. I told him that no one would ever call our kid a bitch. Mitch is a strong name. Mitch sounds like the cool kid. I know, I'm weird. But if we ever have two boys, their names will be Max and Mitch.
- I am officially tired of attending baby showers. So everyone stop having babies for a while! I've attended at least 10 showers in the last 6 months. I have forked over way too much cash! If I get invited to too many more, I'll be broke! But let's put it this way, at least I'll have a nice long list of people to invite to my own future shower. Can you say reception hall? LOL! Just kidding.
- My dad is finally coming down to see our house this weekend. The dumb part? They're driving 3 hours to see it, staying the day, and then driving 3 hours back the same day. My aunt and uncle did the same thing a couple weeks ago. I don't get that. Just stay one fricking night! It feels so rushed when they don't stay overnight. Oh well......at least he's finally coming to see the place.

Ok, too many things to reply to so I'll just pick one...I've wondered how dogs can fart w/o butt cheeks too. Does Maury turn and look at his butt, or does he get up and run away like something poked him in the butt? Tinker gets really freaked out. I bet he is cool, like, "Yeah, that's me."
I agree-too many to respond to. The first time I laughed was after the dream about your car being towed and the valet offering to buy you a stove. Did you want a new stove or was that a wierd dream thing??
Martha sent me here because she says that we both are aspiring rockstar lifstyles.
But, don't you remember that Mitch is David Hasselhoff's name in Baywatch?! How about Moritz? We have a old, old, old cartoon for kids and it's about Max & Moritz.
The dog fart one had me rolling! Thanks for the super big laugh.
Hmmm.. Mitch. Different. I like it and promise not to use it.
The farting has to do with the sphincters. Not the cheeks alone.
I don't like the name Mitch. Reminds me of someone I knew in school. I do like Moritz! Or even Maritz (pronounces Mars. I rode a horse with that latter name. One of my favorites when he was "lame" - read: couldn't jump 6 ft fences, so I got to ride him b/c he was otherwise sound).
Katrin's comment about David Hasselhoff just further solidfies my desire to name my kid Mitch. As does Karen's comment about his future girlfriend. Those are just too hilarious!!!! :)
Dude, I don't even know where to begin....all I can say is that I sat in my living room laughing for a good 10 minutes while reading your post. I actually had to take two breaks because I couldn't get through it all at once. Thank you.
That's me! The entertainer! I aim to please!
