Toss Across and What I'm Reading This Week
Anyone got some ibuprofen?
Curse you, Aunt Flo. Is this where I'm supposed to break into my rendition of "I Enjoy Being a Girl?" Because sometimes, right now, I do not. The only comfort I take in my monthly visitor is that for most hours in a day, I do not have to sit on some Toss Across bean bags called nuts that when barely grazed will drop me to the floor. But it's still not a fair trade in my eyes.
Anyhoo...let's get to...

I'm going to have to check out the TJ's link later since work blocks buzzfeed.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I'm going home to my Gram's house. We're having a birthday party for my preschool/kindergarden teacher. We thought she had passed away a couple of years ago but my friend's mom is a nurse at the nursing home she's at. She's got Alzheimers so I'm going in assuming she doesn't remember us (my friend is coming too since she had her a teacher). We're having lobster rolls at her request and I'm decorating the birthday cake tonight
Aww, that's really sweet. I hope all goes well and the part of her that does understand the gesture but may not be able to show it will no doubt appreciate it!
DeleteToss across.... LOL Thanks for some more great links!
ReplyDeleteHA! I thought you'd get a kick outta that one. ;-)
DeleteI sent my husband the movie one! Nightmare on Elm St. is one of his favourites and I don't think he knows it was based off a newspaper article! (He loves it so much, on our honeymoon we actually went to the original filming house, so he could get his photo taken in front of it. *I'm a stellar wife*)
ReplyDeleteLove the dog article about cancer.
That is AWESOME! I want to go to that house when I finally get the Mr to the SoCal area, that along with the Six Feet Under house of course.
DeleteYeah, that was pretty amazing about the dog!
"I do not have to sit on some Toss Across bean bags called nuts that when barely grazed will drop me to the floor"----is this...is this sexual in nature?? LOL! I'm sorry I don't know what this means.
ReplyDeleteNot so much sexual as anatomical.
DeleteLove your Friday news roundups. Can't wait to check out the links.
ReplyDeleteNot the best time to break into song about how lovely it is to be a woman, but it is a good time to consider the alternatives and be glad with what you are. For all the problems that come with being female, I still prefer it to the alternative, if only because I don't have to worry about which way to tuck sensitive dangly bits into pants.
Thanks! I hope you like 'em!
DeleteI keep asking the Mr if he had the option wouldn't he want to just get 'em cut off like a canine since we're not having kids? He's all "I'm used to them...I'm NOT getting my balls cut off!" I must have a particularly crazy look in my eye when it's brought up! LOL
The "32 feelings all women will remember" makes me SO HAPPY I had a hysterectomy. No more elevator door opening to a flood of blood for this gal.
ReplyDeleteAww man! Enjoy for the rest of us!
DeleteI've asked the doc about one since we're not having kids and she of course recommended the man snip in lieu of the big surgery. But to make sure to get him tested every year because (and I researched this) there is something called the "10 year baby." Dudes accusing their wives of affairs when they get pregnant and getting paternity tests because they didn't keep up getting the boys tested and the tube reconnected and "hello baby!" No thanks. LOL
my sister just told me yesterday that they are going to make a Goonies 2. Can't wait to see what it's going to be about.
