I’ve been tagged by Just Peachy to tell you five things about me. Although I just did a meme with the same theme, who doesn’t have more than five things to tell about themselves?? By the way, Just Peachy was nominated for the Share the Love awards for Most Inspiring. A very deserving nod in her direction!
FIVE THINGS ABOUT ME
1. Yesterday, I went to Target for basic essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, Tide, etc. I had three coupons I wanted to use. During my check out I showed my coupons to my cashier and put them down in front of her. I want to make sure I used them because 1. They are expiring on January 31st and I know I will not need to spend another $10 in toilet paper before then. and 2. We’re talking about seventy five whole cents, here. So, she rings me up and forgets to scan my coupons. Of course, she does. So, she has to call a manager. I almost said "just forget it" but…see the 2 reasons above. So, they do a post void and I’m out. Then last night, I check my account, because I’m obsessive like that, I am have $1.16 in my account. Target has charged me for $90 and $89. And I have a $39 check out….
2. I sometimes wish I worked. That way, on days that I am sick, like
today, I could call off of work, send my kids to day care and lay on
the couch ALL DAY LONG. Is there something wrong with that? Instead,
I’m awake, with my bra and shoes on, make-up on my face, hair pulled
back with a kleenex sticking out of my nose because my nose will not
stop running andRacecar just pooped in his underwear. But in reality, I know as a working mom, I would drag myself to work because I have to save my sick days for when my kids are sick, not me. I’m no fool.
3. I love graphic tees from Old Navy. They’re made of Pima Cotton and they rock my world. I even bought one to wear to bed at night. They’re that awesome.
4. I buy too many shirts in this color scheme. MUST.STOP.MYSELF. And
my kids
witnessed me taking pictures of the clothes in my closet, I’m
pretty sure they are going to need therapy because of it. I can just hear
them saying to a future therapist "…and my Mom used to take pictures of
her clothes in her closet with a kleenex sticking out of her nose."
5. I used to play softball for years and years. Since I was six. I was a catcher. I caught every foul ball that was anywhere near me (and beyond). My nickname was Jody Davis.
6. (six because #1 doesn’t count.) I have an MRI on Wednesday, a scan on my brain to rule out reasons why I’m having so many headaches. My biggest fear is that I’ll have to sneeze…because I have sneezed eleventy thousand times just today. Please God. No sneezing on Wednesday between 10 and 11, m, kay?
7. (seven because I don’t know when to shut-up) On Friday, I am going out of town. My girlfriend Lynette and I are going childless to visit my sister in Louisville for the weekend. Drinking. Shopping. Eating. Bunco. word to yo’ mutha.
I TAG YOU!
I buy tons of clothes all in the same colour family as well – I think it’s just human nature.

You could and should be a poster child for Old Navy. My closet has a lot of black in it. And you know what, I organize the clothes in my closet by color. You too, huh?
Taking pictures with a kleenax in your nose. I need a picture of that! I am sure it’s not the strangest thing you’ve taken pictures of. Let’s see, I recall your toilet as one and I know there are plenty more. I know we’ll have some great pictures to take this weekend. Can’t wait!

You look great in that color, so why wouldn’t you buy them??? They practically call your name. I hope you feel better soon (have you tried Mucinex?). I’ll be thinking of you Thursday!!

God, i pray…no sneezing on Wed at 10 to 11 for Beth…. I also pray that the MRI result will be ok – that the reason for headache is only because she drinks too much coffee. Ooppsss, if that’s ther case, woudl she have to give up coffee? Oh, maybe change the cause…whatever it is..let she be ok and let the headaches be gone!. Amen

I so feel your pain on the Target fiasco. Just 2 weeks ago a close friend of mine held onto a check that I wrote her b/c she knew my account was low and then deposited it a week later, exactly 24 hours before payday. Bless her heart. Ah, but what’s an overdraft charge of $33 in the grand scheme of things?
You hit #2 on the head, sister. A working mom’s “sick days” are a precious commodity. This is why I’m at work with a Kleenex sticking out of my nose. [my office door's shut. ok, it isn't.]
Good luck with the MRI. I’m sure you’ve already thought of this but I was getting crazy headaches and my doctor made me keep track of what I was eating to see if there was any correlation. As it turns out, if I eat something with too much sugar, i.e. a donut, I get an instant headache…
Have fun on your childless trip! Have a drink for homebound moms everywhere.

I like you mostly because of #1. I would totally do that! And there are days I wished I worked ANYWHERE but here. Sigh.
God bless ya with that no sneezing request. I hope everything turns out OK. Let us know.

Hey lady! (aka Softball Goddess) I am thinking of you and hoping/praying your MRI appt. was uneventful and the scans come back clear. Or, at least, with answers.
LOL, I have taken pics of my closet… if you find a good therapist for your kids, let me know so I can send my kids! Do you think our blogging addition affects them at all?!?
Your blog keeps getting better and better!!! (If only, I could keep up with commenting.) Love ya!

Okay, I have the same shirts in my closets. Well, maybe not as many since I’m not buying more than 2 items in each size until I reach my goal.
Okay, good luck on the MRI. I hope it’s nothing. Or maybe I hope it’s something causing your headaches that can be fixed with something very simple. NO SNEEZING. Take an antihistamine before you go. . .
Target must hate coupons, because they do that shit to me all the time. I usually just walk away and roll my eyes because I don’t want to deal with all the void crap . . .
