Okay, so bear with me, this is a random post in order for me to purge… I have a lot on my mind these days. Stupid, ridiculous, trivial crap and big, life changing, important stuff too. I think it’s imperative to get it all out sometimes, so here goes:
- First and foremost, how in the hell is it already August?
- Only 34 days until my next Dave Matthews concert… not that I’m counting or anything.
- Moving. Or more importantly, finding our (close to and within our budget) dream house. Open living space, big backyard, guest room (or not), Jack & Jill bathroom, two-story (or not) and back in our old neighborhood. It’s not that much to ask for, is it? And yet, we have looked at dozens of houses and haven’t quite fallen in love with any and if we have, they were bought within days or hours of us seeing them.
- Dog training. Charlie Pasta is having a hard time and will be going away for training for two weeks later this month and I am absolutely thrilled!! He hates apartment living as much as I do and has decided to act out and turn skittish (AKA bark like a maniac at every noise he hears). We’ve become very frustrated and turns out are not the best dog trainers, so it’s time for professional intervention.
- North West. When and how are Kim & Kanye going to introduce their daughter to the world? I’m so curious. Unless, they have already and I’ve been living under a rock?
- I’m so happy America’s Next Top Model is back!! Cycle 20, baby!! This time it’s girls vs. boys. No judging… you know you watch it or something equally embarrassing, right? Right?!
- Speaking of embarrassing TV, another guilty pleasure show that I have gotten sucked into this summer is Mistresses. It’s so bad.
- How many times does a day does “Blurred Lines” play on the radio and how soon before it really starts to bother me that my four year knows almost every lyric?
- There is more substance to me than bad television and pop songs, I am currently OBSESSED with This American Life, the weekly public radio show broadcast and I recently downloaded the app and have listened to some of the most amazing stories from learning how to count cards in order to beat casinos to the love of summer camp and an incredible story about babies switched at birth only to find out 40 years later. The host, Ira Glass is my new hero.
- I’m looking forward to the day when I don’t have to hear “butt”, “poop” and “pee” 900 times a day or reprimand someone for using them in excess. Seriously, how do you make it stop?!
There is definitely a lot more going on in this brain of mine, but this really helped. For now…
What’s on your mind?

Sometimes, it’s just nice to be able to let it all out, right?
House hunting is a toughie. So is dog training, so I’m glad you get to outsource that. 🙂
I’ve never heard ‘Blurred Lines’ before, can you believe it?
I don’t think body function words ever stop. I’ve learned to use them to my advantage. Taking a photo and need a smile? Just say poopy something and you are good to go.
My kids just love saying penis and vagina since they love the reaction it gets. I’ve learned to say those are bathroom words and we only use them in the bathroom. And they listen all right. During baths they say it about 100 times and giggle since they’re in the bathroom. I learned to let go of that one. Eventually it won’t be funny right? Right? Please?
Your brain sounds like mine. Mixed in with all the important stuff, like work stuff, kid problems, I find myself wondering who Desiree is going to pick (Bachelorette)…. I think our minds need the mindless stuff:) I hear you about dog training; we’ve had our pup for one month now. It’s another child….
OH friend, my mom is 60 years old and my dad 63 and they are still telling their 27, 32, and 35 year old children to quit talking about poop so much. I am thinking it never ends.
I used to love ANTM, but I quit watching it for whatever reason. I may have to start again. I do love that stupid show.
I am so glad to have a found a fellow ANTM fan! All the ones I knew previously have gone into hiding.
My son has remixed Blurred Lines. He simply repeats I know you want it. It is horrible. And hilarious. And bad parenting. And cute. And irresponsible. And funny and cute. My older daughter is excited about ANTM. I must admit I’m intrigued, if not necessarily intending to watch. If it were Project Runway, though, that’d be a different story.
This is probably super healthy to write about all the things annoying/frustrating you right now. It gets it all out there and then you can move on to other nicer things. Sadly, I have never seen any of those shows… Well, I saw the first few seasons of ANTM but sadly, having no TV means I miss out on a bunch of stuff. Thank goodness Aaron has this program connected to the internet and his TV at his so we can watch a couple shows that we both enjoy. Breaking Bad returns this Sunday, finally!!
blurred lines. all the time. my kids know the words too! yikes. But, it’s catchy. I hear poop and pee and penis and and and all the words like that as well. I figure it’ll stop one day. Or not?
I love stream of consciousness posts. And I adore the name Charlie Pasta. It always makes me smile.
I’m just waiting for the day that my kids can wipe their own butts. I’m tired of being called in for poop patrol.
Love your list.
I’m watching ANTM too! That and Project Runaway. I guess my secret wish is to be a skinny, fashionable model who sews her own clothes. But please don’t tell anyone…
