That Wal-Mart offers lasik surgery? I'm a little disturbed that I can now go to my local ghetto department store and get a pedicure from a Vietnamese man, pick up a Happy Meal from the Hispanic crew, grab my tolietries, prescriptions, groceries, and household items from the toothless, pregnant, flannel pajama wearing cashier and then stop by the eye center for a little zap to my corneas. And the lasik surgery is only $439/per eye. I mean seriously...would you EVER let ANYONE at Wal-Mart put a laser to your eyeball?

At our local rec. center, downstairs in the weight room, there is a machine that will strengthen and tone your crotch? Don't believe me? There is a intricate drawing on the machine showing the generic human body in black and white with the crotch highlighted in red. With all my stress about my hips and thighs, I never once considered that my crotch might be flabby! Will the body image stress ever end??

My 3-year old can fix a scrumptious "pig in a blanket" all by herself? She helped mix the biscuit dough, rolled it out on the counter, cut strips, rolled the hot dog inside and laid the whole affair on the cookie sheet. I just stood aside and took pictures. It makes watching Barney tomorrow seem a little "remedial" for her. Barney is just tackling colors, shapes and feelings and my 3-year old is ready for recipes, pre-heated ovens, and culinary design.

The nutrition label on the bag of chicken nuggets sitting in my freezer indicates that my children will die of high cholesterol, heart attack, and stroke by the time they are 12 years old if I continue feeding them this crap? (Pipe down...some of us parental units figure things out a little slower than the rest.)

They just announced the Caldecott and Newbury Award winners? The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Seltzer won for the Caldecott (AMAZING book! I love, love, love it. Reading it to J. right now and we can't get enough!) and a book I've never heard of won the Newbury. Go check it out. (C'mon people...just GOOGLE it.)

That when we were sitting at my 6-year old son's basketball clinic today listening to a group of 50 boys yell "DEFENSE" and stomp their feet that my poor 5-year old came up and asked me why all the basketball boys were yelling "Jesus!" When a bunch of boys shout "defense" really loud in an echoy gym, it does sound just like they are praising the Lord.

An iPod nano will make ANY circumstance and/or situation better? Jogging, cleaning house, entertaining children, doing my daughter's hair, going potty (I watched an episode of Scrubs on my iPod nano yesterday while using the "facilities". Never enjoyed myself more. M. kept banging on the door asking why I was laughing and why I was taking so long.)
Did you know...
The T.V. show Pushing Daisies is the most entertaining, clever, creative, funny show on the television right now? I dare say I am enjoying it more than The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs, and Amazing Race. (Funny...I was just telling a friend today how I really don't watch T.V. anymore. Hmmm...) Actually, I don't watch ANY of these shows on T.V. because that is so "YESTERDAY" to sit around watching T.V. I just download them on my iPod nano and watch them while hiding in the bathroom. So much more sophisticated. (And I have the nerve to make fun of people wearing flannel pajama bottoms to work at Wal-Mart? My poor hypocritic life...)

I got an iPod nano for Christmas?

Pluto is NOT considered a "real" planet anymore? It got demoted last year.

you can't ever count to the end of numbers because it goes to infinity and beyond? That makes me crazy and gives me a headache every time I think about it.

Old Navy is having a HUGE sale right now where everything in the store is so dirt cheap that I almost felt like they should be paying ME to carry all those bags of dirt cheap clothes out to my car?

my husband is AWESOME. (And really cute?)
That's it. Just wondered if you knew...

This is probably one of my favorite posts...You make me smile!! This is why I enjoy lunch dates with you so much!!
This was very educational. I even learned that my bathroom habits are out of date! I do think your Walmarts are ahead of ours however.
This is my first and favorite visit to your blog. I feel like such a smarter person- there were SO many things I didn't know.

The best part about watching TV not on TV is that you get to skip most of the mindless commercials!! I laughted out loud at this post. Do you think H remembers us? I think A and I are going to come to Utah this Spring in conjunction with Women's Conference. We have a Southwest voucher that has to be used by July or something. BTW my bread recipe is posted on another blog (see the food for thought link on my blog--under favorites) I'm a regular contributor and others have asked for the recipe, too.
You know, I tried out the crotch workout machine at our rec center. I didn't feel that it helped my overall exercise experience much.. I will stick to the bikes and treadmills thank you.
I hit the old navy sale...and one at The Children's Place...that was really good too! I got a really cool $70 coat for $15!
You are a veritable fountain of information. I actually learned a lot although I did know about Pluto and that your husband is cute. And no, I do not think it would be a good idea to get your eyes lasiked at Wal Mart. Having eye surgery at the same place that serves fast food and sells automotive supplies is just plain wrong!
I feel thoroughly entertained..I have met my quota for the day of entertain-ness and I learned stuff too...gotta go check out the Caldecott and Newbery winners now.
Did you know you make me laugh? Well, you do. Wal Mart never ceases to amaze me--never. And I love the image of you and Scrubs on the Potty. What must poor M have been thinking was happening in there?
Love this post. :)
I was just thinking about numbers continuing on forever just the other day. (I'm not kidding. Isn't that weird?) I theorerize that if numbers continue on for infinite than there must be an infinite number of names for those numbers. So, for example, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 may be called "1 amy". There would have to be a "sarah" out there, too. And a "casserole", and "stairwell", and "potty", too. Are you following me? I thought it was a pretty deep thought, but when I told Taylor about my deep thinking he just stared at me funny. But Waverly totally got it.
Amy, Amy, Amy - you do make me laugh! I like the "Did you know" format, and the snapshots of your fun life.
Suzie Petunia too - the kids and I get on those crazy kicks sometimes too about numbers, words, etc.
"Did you know" that you've been tagged?! See my site...
did you know theres a t-shirt you can buy that says "it's ok PLUTO... I'm not a planet either"?
