Totally Akward(and true) Tuesday - Secret Pee

While checking out my friends blogs this morning, I came across a story by Megan and had to participate.



As some of you know, I grew up doing musical theatre, and when I was in 8th grade, I auditioned for The Wizard of Oz and was cast. Well, being a kid, I was a munchkin of course and a couple of other things, but mainly a munchkin. The coroner to be exact. Since we were supposed to look kind of silly, our costumes were padded and some people had big bellies, most of us were girls playing boys, so we had wigs and moustaches. Well....opening night was a hoot. During the munchkin scene, when the witch shows up, all of us munchkins would go and hide. The mayor and I hid upstage in the center, facing each other. For whatever reason, Toto went ballistic and was barking uncontrollably at the witch. Toto had rehearsed just fine, but this particular night, he was not happy. The mayor and I got the giggles, but were trying NOT to laugh. I looked at the mayor, which happened to be a girl, and her moustache was falling off. I took her moustache and rolled it up in my scroll. So that made us laugh even harder. We were laughing and laughing and I couldn't take it anymore. I felt the panic come over me and I looked at her and said " I need to pee!". About 5 seconds later, I did, and once it started, the flood gates were open and there was nothing I could do about it. We were still laughing though. Once the scene was over and we got up to continue singing and dancing, I remember worrying that there would be a huge wet spot on the stage, but thank heavens for a big padded costume. The stage was dry. After that, I quietly went to the dressing room, and hung up my costume and didn't say a word.....Thankfully the wardrobe ladies washed our costumes every night. A few days later people started talking and laughing about it, and do you remember the song "One and one, we're having some fun, etc. etc." ? Number 3 ended up being "Three and three, we wonder who peed...." True story.

My crafty turn

Well, it seems like every time I turn around someone is crafting something ! Lately, I've had an obsession with pickle jars. I can't seem to throw them away. After reading other blogs and seeing all the projects that have been going on, I figured I better get after it. So, I decided to throw some ribbon on a few of my pickle jars. Emma usually has ponytail holders strewn every which way, but putting them in this jar helps keep them together, and the bright colors really add to her bathroom. I put ribbon and 3D butterflies on a larger jar for her scrunchies, bracelets, sunglasses, etc. If anything, it gets them off the floor !!! It is by no means perfect, but I think it turned out pretty alright.

As I said in my previous post, I have house work to do after being gone for several days, so I will do some small posts today. We spent several days in San Antonio this week and had a big time. We went to Natural Bridge Caverns and the drive through safari on the way. We had never been to the caverns. It was really neat, but I did feel a little panicked every now and then. I'm a claustrophobe. We spent two very hot days at Sea World. I'm always amazed at what animals can be trained to do. I didn't spend a lot of time editing pictures because there were so many, so what you see is what you get. You can check them out in my sets in my Flickr. Take a look !

Back in action....sort of...

Since we've been out of town since Sunday, and since the housework needs some tending to, I'm going to do some tiny posts today. Last Friday our church had a father daughter sock hop. It was a lot of fun for the kids and I was very pleased to see that most everyone dressed up. They had moon pies and root beer floats and Emma dominated the hula hoop contest. I think she went for 6 songs in a row before the judges were making the contestants do tricks while hula hooping. When she won, she was hopping on one leg. Impressive for a 6 year old. You can see the rest of the pictures in my sets in my Flickr. I didn't spend any time editing these, but I hope you enjoy them !

My new love

Call me weird, but I have been wanting an old chair for my bedroom for about a year. The kicker was, I wanted bright green. I've found several on Ebay for great prices, but the shipping was outrageous, so I had given up my search. The other day I went into a local shop and was asking about some other items, when I told her I'd given up my search for my chair. She told me that the lady 2 doors down had one for sale. Unfortunately, her shop was closed. The following day my mom went by and checked out the chair and said it was perfect. Since I will be off of work next week, my plan was to go in next week and buy it. When I got home yesterday James had already gone to the store and bought it for me ! It is probably the best surprise I've ever gotten and my favorite thing I've ever owned. I know, I'm a nerd. I'm so thankful he got the chair when he did. He said as he was carrying it out, a lady was walking in and said "he got my chair!". So....it would've been gone next week !

Thank you Pioneer Woman, thanks for nothing !!!! BlueQ...I'm officially addicted. Not a good thing, but my my, what neat stuff ! They have the most awesome, and most unique stuff I've ever seen. I have a question, at what age do you officially qualify as a cougar ? Because I SO want this soap

I think I would drink more water if I had a cool water bottle like this one. Yeah, I'm sure of it.

My mom definitely needs this car freshener...she is the crazy cat lady you know....

And since tattoos, real and fake, are popular around our house, we need these. Maybe my sister will get some for the new baby. (hee hee).

The possibilities are endless. There are way too many products that I'd choose. Check it out and once again I say thanks for nothing to the dear Pioneer Woman herself.
