Halloween Thirteen

Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Thursday, October 30th, 2008

!3 Random Moments of my week:

  1. A patient said to me, “You know, my mouth SHOULD be bigger because of how much I talk, shouldn’t it?” LOL  I could only laugh in response - because based on that logic - I know a LOT of people that should have  bigger mouths.  (Myself included!)
  2. Luby was retested for allergies this week… the kid is ALLERGIC to everything! Poor girl… no wonder she can’t breathe half the time.
  3. I don’t remember any of the three new toilets in our house clogging up since they were installed. But… me, myself, and I have somehow managed to clog TWO of them just THIS WEEK. What does that mean? Too much roughage in my diet?? :P
  4. I have eaten entirely too much candy this week. And, I haven’t even BOUGHT any for tomorrow night yet!
  5. I have been trying to decide what color to paint my downstairs bathroom all week. I have several paint chips and just can’t decide! I never have THIS much trouble. But… come heck or high water, I’m painting Saturday! I better get my arse in gear and make a decision, huh? Any suggestions?
  6. I’m soooo stinkin tired of the political ads. Can’t. wait. for. it. to. be. over.
  7. I joined a book club with Becca. I know it’ll be fun but lawsie mercy…. I sure picked a BUSY week to do it. What was I thinking?? (I’m loving the book though!)
  8. I took Lillie’s sutures out of her ear the other day…. it is healing nicely. A little lumpy but I expect that to smooth out over time. She acts like she misses the lovely lampshade.
  9. I ran into a male patient at WalMart the other day. He saw me from a distance and called out, “Hey! You look different in clothes!” As people turned to look at me - I realized exactly HOW that must have sounded to others. My face got hot, turning 10 shades of red, as I said, “Well, I’m always WEARING clothes!” He too got embarrassed and said, “You know what I meant!” lol
  10. I must buy new jeans. Strict orders from Shannon, who saw holes in the last pair I had on. (Which happen to be my FAVORITE pair actually!) Do you know how much I hate to shop for jeans? Good thing I can make her go with me… ;)
  11. I’ve been finishing up the girls Halloween costumes. Too funny…. can’t wait to post that pic! :)
  12. My husband has to cover a ballgame since Halloween falls on a Friday night. That means that I have to drive the girls around to all the people we visit each year. Me, behind the wheel. After dark. When I can’t see very well. With hundreds of kids in the streets. Ya’ll say a prayer for me.
  13. Daylight savings time ends this weekend. :( I hate winter time. (Oh yeah, I said I didn’t use the word the hate!)

    You CRACK me up! I can’t wait to see the girls costumes AND go shopping for jeans WITH you- in person and NOT on the phone like we normally do. If you wait to paint till next week, I’ll help you with that too! :)

  2. Doryon 30 Oct 2008 at 12:48 pm 2

    You are so not helping me paint. Labsolutely NOT. That will be done BEFORE you get here….

    #9 cracked me up! I’d love to have heard that as I walked to/from my car.

    And have a great visit with Shannon! Let her help paint. Good bonding time…

    What is up with all you winter haters? I love non-daylight savings time! I hate jeans too but Hubby made me buy some this past weekend, he thought I was ‘too old’ for the holy ones - whatever…

    Maybe if I lived in Texas, I wouldn’t mind it so much. But here, it’s too dark in the mornings to walk outside before work so I’m stuck on the treadmill and it’s already dark again when I get off work at 5pm. What is there to like about that??? Coats, hats, gloves… yuck.

    Bring on the sunshine and summer-like weather! :)

    Jeans shopping- ugh! I need to do it too- especially before next weekend, or somebody might think I’m poor white trash :-)
    What color is the hallway & nearest community room to the bathroom?

  7. Doryon 30 Oct 2008 at 2:01 pm 7

    OH Meg, we can be poor white trash together then!! Then neither of us will have to subject ourselves to jeans shopping! :P

    The hallway is a neutral taupe-y color. It’s nearest to the den, (see it here: http://luckydorito.com/the-den ) that I just painted a few months ago, which is a terra cotta color.

  8. Shannonon 30 Oct 2008 at 2:56 pm 8

    LOL Meg you are too funny! I could care less what kind of jeans you girls wear.

    And for the record, I did NOT tell Dory she needed new jeans- I just asked her whose holey jeans were in the picture she sent me!:)

  9. Doryon 30 Oct 2008 at 3:44 pm 9

    Me thinks I’m not the only one with memory issues Shan. ;) hehehe

  10. mitchowlon 30 Oct 2008 at 5:26 pm 10

    That’s a lot of stuff going on. I’m sure you’ll figure it all out.

    I bought new jeans yesterday! Now, I have two pair that are suitable. :)

    The rest of my jeans have holes in them or paint/bleach on them. My yucky ones are the most comfy ~ I was so mad at myself the day I decided to do “touch up” painting in them. They are Old Navy jeans I got for $20. They fit me perfectly. Wish I would have bought every pair they had in my size. Same goes with bras… when I find one I really like, I should just buy every single one in my size ’cause heaven knows I will never find that particular style again.

    I like earth tones/spa colors in bathrooms. What about a nice Mediterranean greenish color? Our living room in our old house was a really nice green… I think it was cactus-something-or-another. Not much help, am I?

    The time change is fine by me. I enjoy evenings when I can be in my jammies right after supper with a good book in the comfort of my squishy bed. Also, I LOVE to sleep. I practically hibernate in the wintertime! Lucky for me, Garrett never fusses about going to bed.

    I hate to wish my life away, but oh how I wish it was this time next week! :)

    Shannon you’re right we could all paint our favorite colors on different walls! Now, that would be a painted bathroom.

  13. BEKon 30 Oct 2008 at 7:41 pm 13

    OOH OHH this is the thirteenth comment for the Halloween Thirteen post!

  14. Beccaon 30 Oct 2008 at 7:51 pm 14

    I don’t own any jeans.

    I am glad that you are enjoying the book. Oh yeah, you get to recommend the next book, or that is what I suggested anyway.

    Clogging the toilet, eh, crap happens!

    Could be worse, you could have come across a link on a computer you really wish you hadn’t. Yep, one of those days, and a true kick to my self esteem. :-(

    Oh well, it is married life is it not, for better or worse.

    Love you friend,
    Bec

    I thought I was the only one that dreaded shopping for jeans. Especially when you are heavy, they are hard to find. I have one pair and wish I too had a few more of the exact same type.

    Love #9 also….Hahaha

    As far as painting, why don’t you throw a few swatches up on the wall and see which looks best. Oh you alread have…Hmmm, Maybe you could share the colors with us and we can help pick.
