Tuesdays are for winners.
Just ask Amber at Airing My Dirty Laundry, One Sock at a Time.
Hey, it's okay...
...if you really hate those damn Lipton Iced Tea commercials with the talking fish.
...if you have a giant hissy over a bug on the floor, and yet you've named the daddy long legs in the bathroom.
...to mouth the words to "Colors of the Wind" from Disney's Pocahontas in an overly-dramatic, tormented, teen angsty sort of way.
...to tell the brand new scanner at work to "shut up and take it."
...if your drive through Kentucky felt incomplete because at no point did you have to tell Lexington to "suck it."
...to eat shark at the end of Shark Week. (Okay, that might not really be okay, but I did it.)
...if you tried to sell your clothing to a consignment shop and they DIDN'T WANT ANY OF IT.
...if the three things you missed about your current living space are 1) your shower, 2) your bed and 3) your friends. In that order.
...to eat hash browns off the kitchen floor.

I'm concerned about the last one. Please don't eat off the floor. Bugs use it, sometimes as their bathroom, and people's feet use it. I'll send you money for a plate.
I knew Kentucky would grow on you. Consignment stores don't take my clothes either. Hope you have a good week!
Kelly and I named the spider that lived outside our kitchen window in undergrad. Thomas Edison was very industrious - he collected leaves to make a roof for his little web. But then one day we came home and the whole thing was destroyed and Eddie was gone. So we had a little funeral for him and put up a memorial (construction paper) plaque.
I've only seen Pocahontas once, and yet I feel like I know *every word* to that song. John and I like to sing it from time to time, whenever the urge strikes.
Its ALL good. My theory on picking stuff up off the floor to eat it is - its my floor. And that which does not kill me....
Hahahaha! I love the bug/daddy long leg thing. You're so manic (and you are aware of it and okay with it). That's what I love about you. Well, it's one of the many things to love about you, that is.
Did you know that Daddy Long Legs are one of the most poisonous spiders ever? And that if you lick them they taste like peppermint? And that I am full of random spider facts?
I realize that Tuesdays are for winners, so I hope it's okay that I posted over here today.
A consignment shop didn't want my clothes once. It was sort of embarrassing on a lot of levels. Maybe I'll blog about sometime.
The consigment place, ouch!! don't feel bad with the spirling econ,. they only want $$ brand names and new or like new stuff,... you could always have a giveaway on your blog!
Like Cher, I am a tad worried about the floor thing. In bullet point two you stated there was a bug on your floor.
In the last bullet point you are eating hash browns off said floor.
When are you coming out here? I'm taking you to my kids' pediatrician for a check up. And shots.
I'll buy you a lollipop after the shots. Ask, Haley she can vouch.
But did you put ketchup on the floor hashbrowns?
Hey, I have a 30 second rule for stuff hitting the ground. If I rescue it in time, I still eat it. I'm told it's actually a THREE second rule, not 30, but oh well, I make my own rules. Mwahaha.
Ya! Plato's Closet snubbed me on all of my clothes! I was shocked, I'm a cute dresser...sometimes.
You know, if it was within the 5 second rule, then the browns are good.
And you know what? I took a formal dress I'd bought for a wedding - but never wore it b/c the wedding never happened - to the consignment store and they tried to tell me they thought it was worn. Bitches. Last time I ever tried to sell to one of those places.
i don't know a single word of that pocahontas song. just saying.
:)
i'm not at all worried about your floor eating habits. mine are probably pretty equivalent. food is food. and we don't let food go to waste. it's not like you FOUND it there. you're just rescuing it.
Hey, I once watched (in horror!) as my husband ate a quesillia off the floor. It's all good, love!
I saw the Lipton commercial last night. What the fudge is up with that? Creepy.
The consignment shop rejected you? That's harsh!
Those hash browns better not have been there more than 5 seconds. I don't care if that rule is bogus. I live by it.
Whoa, back up. Eating shark at the end of Shark Week is totally okay. It's like saying, "HA! Despite your massive size and numerous teeth, I'm still at the top of the food chain, mofo!"
Which is definitely Okay Tuesday material.
You could feed a small African village with all the food scraps on my floor.
It's MORE than OK that you had to drive through KY and not once tell Lexington to "suck it". It's freakinfantastic! And we welcome you back any time (and by "we", I mean "they" because y'know, I'm in Georgia now. But you're welcome to crash at our fabulous new townhouse because SOMEBODY should be sleeping there.)
Also, Granddaddy Longlegs are beneficial creatures to have around. Palmetto bugs are not. Is torture of a palmetto bug "just to teach it a lesson" illegal?
That's so awesome that you ate shark! Just remember: "Treat every week like Shark Week."
This will be comment try #3 - I've lost all my cleverness now - stupid blogger messing up.
That being said - does shark taste like chicken? And I love this list!
I've never eaten hashbrowns off the kitchen floor, but I do pick up the odd abandoned grape rolling under the refrigerator...is that ok too?
Consignment shops never want my clothes either. I even took something that still had tags on it and it wasn't cool enough for them.
I try not to let it bother me though......
Maybe I need a stylist.
WAIT. stop the presses. why the eff is salt licking daddy long legs. is no one else worried about this?!
also. i have not been exposed to the lipton tea commercials, but if they are anything like McDonald's damn fish, i am all set.
