Official Retraction

*Clearing my throat.........*

So. It was brought to my attention that a certain Llama I know did not actually push Flax Seed Oil to make my future babies smart... because that would actually only serve to help me have healthy bowel movements before and after the birth.

She actually pushed FOLIC ACID! Apparently, had she not missed a few dosages... this little mix up could have been avoided.

VitaCrazed

I really wanted to start taking vitamins on a regular basis.

Two weeks ago I decided that this was going to be a new initiative of mine. As you can imagine, I even had "Start Vitamin Regimen" on my weekly checklist.

So, in order to mark the box "Complete", I got a Woman's One a Day, Vitamin E and L-Lysine.

I remember one time that I heard someone say that L-Lysine was good for your skin, which is why that one made the cut.

Their are a couple problems with this new initiative. First, I don't know what vitamins I should really be taking. I know I want to be healthy and never get sick, I know I want to have totally beautiful skin/hair/nails and I know that I want to have tons of energy.... but if I were to choose based off that criteria, I would be taking about 73 pills every morning... and as it stands right now, just with the three I chose, I have to seriously psych myself up because they seem so big and they hurt my throat. I can't even do them all at one time... I just make sure that by the time I get to the gym in the morning I have them all taken, because doing them all at once, especially that early, just seems like too daunting of a task.

So, feel free to give me a call or shoot me a text with suggestions. As you know, leaving a voice message, unless you sing your suggestions or maybe tell them to me with a British accent, is not suggested...

And, Mamma the Llama, please feel free to call me, but do so just to chit chat. You don't have to tell me that I need to take Flaxseed Oil so your grand babies are smart... you have been telling me that for years and I love ya for it, but I get it!

Whiny Wednesday

Today is a day that I am going to be a whiny complainer. Ok?! Deal!

First, I hate voicemail. I see the missed calls. I get it. I need to call you back. It takes way too long for me to check voicemail but the little envelope glaring back at me every time I look at my phone drives me nuts! The worst is when the message says, "Hey, it's me, call me back." Oh really!?! No shit?!

Next, I hate read receipts. It makes me think you are questioning my efficiency and response time. If you sent it, I will respond to it accordingly and in an appropriate amount of time. I have a friend that puts Read Receipts on EVERYTHING... Even forwards. Was it really important for you to know that I received your stupid forward and have perused the tragic Walmart Nasties?!

P.S. Keep sending the Walmart Pics... they are funny. Let's cool it with the confirmations, though.

P.S.S. If you insist on leaving a voicemail, please sing. Or use an accent. Or be drunk. Really make it worth my time.

Let The Games Begin

Iowa State's defense rose to the occasion last night at the home opener in a 27-10 victory over Northern Illinois. Not that I would know, however, because I was watching the Real Housewives of Washington D.C.

And, Saturday we get to watch a real football team play ball when Iowa takes on Eastern Illinois.

I have said it before and I will remind you now... Iowans are crazy; they are very clearly defined by the college football team they support.

And, being the joiner that I am... I slap on that Hawk gear and just start talking shit.

Do you want to know what I am really excited about though??

The new line of Hawkeye clothes that Victoria Secret came out with, the trip with six of my best girlfriends next week to Iowa City for the infamous Iowa/Iowa State game, getting up early to tailgate, Saturday after Saturday of day drinking at Buffalo Wild Wings....

The obvious things to be excited about.

Because, if I am being completely honest here... why I would not be with all of you on this little bloggity blog... The only thing crampin my style is the actual game.... that I can do without!

What? You can't tell from that amazing Onomatopoeia what that song is???

Today is 90210!

So what if that show came out 20 years ago!

I happen to know that every Sunday morning on the Soap Network from 8 to 10 Dillon, Brandon, Kelly and the gang are hanging out at the Peach Pit.

Not that I watch or anything.......

I am just saying.

P.S. I got all by two things on my Checklist marked off and I still have all day tomorrow to finish it up!

Yeah, that's right. Be jealous!

I Operate...

In Post It notes and checklists. Without them, I would be lost. Not quite as lost as I would be if something happened to my Blackberry... but I can't even joke about that.

I have Post Its all around my desk and computer at work. Some of them say things that I have heard that I think are so funny and perfectly appropriate for all the time, like:

RUN WITH YOUR FEET, NOT WITH YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!

or

THE ABSENCE OF ADVERSITY IS THE ABSENCE OF KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE TRULY CAPABLE OF.

Some of the Post It notes have words on them that I have heard or read and I didn't know what they meant... so I Merriam-Webster dot com those babies and make myself use them in a sentence throughout the day.

I highly suggest using this method of increasing your vocabulary, because seeing the words every day really does help.

And, if it is not written on a Post It note, it is on a checklist. I have a "Work" checklist with work stuff on it (duh.) and a "Home" checklist with things I need to get done each week. This weeks checklist is as follows:

Clean Apt. (Deep clean)

Drop off dress @dry cleaners

Organize cabinets/files

Finish reading book

Buy new book

Clean compartments in car

I carry this list in my pocket book, so each time I go to use my debit card or ID, it is there... just challenging me to accomplish something. Each item has a little line in front for me to check off and let me tell you... that little checkmark feels oh so good!

Ok. Bye. I am going to accomplish something.
