Random Thoughts From the Mind of Me aka Blog Farts

Blog Fartsnoun. Def: Crappy ideas that are too short to make a real blog post, but when combined, join forces to make one unified, albeit half assed, post. Definition coined by Jaci.


Like most mommies, my pajama consist of an over sized tee-shirt and some sweat pants. So the other morning when I went to get dressed, I choose a clean over-sized tee shirt and some sweat pants. Which prompt was snotted on. Why do I even bother?


When your underwear gets holes in the crotch and are no longer wearable, the right thing to do would be to throw them in the trash and not just keep pushing them around in your underwear drawer. Yes, dearest I am talking to you. Its time to empty that drawer.


For Quinn, the was the best part of the hotel was the phone. He loved it and it loved him. He even went so far as to sleep with it, correction slept directly on top of it so that no one could possibly take it from him.


I could totally kiss the person or persons that made Crayola's markers and paints washable and non-toxic especially since these are Jake and Quinn's favorite things to chew on. I am going to take their word for it but apparently the tips are the best part since that is what they bite off and try to eat.


Have you ever noticed while driving along the highway, all the billboards and signs for adult toy stores (aka sex toys) and strip clubs. I guess truckers and other motorist are just really that hard up.


I have realized something about myself. I often make decisions too quickly and then later come to regret some of these decisions. I am not really good at the whole 'shop around' thing. If I see something I like I buy it. Done. This was especially true while building our house. There are some major things that I would change and could have changed if I just would have taken the time to shop around.


What the heck is up with all the emails that I have been getting lately saying that I have won the lottery in the UK. Just how stupid do I look? I think that I would remember entering or playing the lottery, especially a lottery in a country that I don't live in and have never been too.


Summer time is fast approaching and that means that swimsuit season will be upon us. There is no fun in swimsuit shopping, not on bit. Does any one really like it? My issue with the whole swimsuit thing is why in the world do they have to be so darn expensive? Why do I have to pay so much for something that I am going to dread wearing, has less fabric than a pair of jeans and is going to look terrible on me? Do you know how much wine I could get for the price of a swimsuit? I just don't get it.

Love a good blog fart. Was wondering about the line: "I guess truckers and other motorist are just really that hard up." Err- was that a - double entendre? Or just unfortunate? Whether intended or not, I got both meanings, and it gave me a smile. Thanks :)

Kat said...

The last bathing suit I bought was $80 and I still hated it. Hated every last stitch in that piece of fabric.

Shawn said...

Wow. I never thought about how much wine I could buy for the price of a swimsuit. Now I'm going to hate that darn thing even more.

I have two hideous SWIMDRESSES to wear this summer. (If you would have told me at 13 that one day, I would be wearing a size 16 swimdress, I would have drowned myself then and there.) I like them in my alone in my bedroom, but at the pool...around all the tankinis...not so much.

I have to wear the swimdress because of my lumpy, dimply saddlebags. I once saw a exercise instuctor on TV who had legs just like mine...and I was happy to know I'm not the only one...and she went to a plastic surgeon for a consultation and he told her her legs were "deformed with fat".

Great.

love this random post and all so true!

And have you noticed how much comes out of a brand new marker once the tip is bitten off?! They can cover themselves in slobbery ink in 12 seconds flat.

And the swim suit... I'm not even going there.

erin said...

Have you ever been inside one of those Billboard advertised porn shops? Ya, me either.

CaraBee said...

I do laundry, so whenever anything comes through that is no longer wearable, it goes straight in the trash or donation bin. He doesn't even know it happens. (insert evil laugh)

Swimwuits. Why? How could they possibly justify charging $100 for that little bit of nothingness?

SarahJarnagin said...

Bathing suits are a rip-off! I'm afraid I might need a few new ones this year and I'm dreading the shopping. I usually just order a bunch online so I can try them on in the privacy of my bedroom and promptly send them all back. :)

Jenni said...

Bathingsuit shopping is modern day torture. Those lights in the fitting room are VERY unforgiving...

i love these blog fart posts, they never fail to crack me up. i hate swimsuit shopping too. and swimsuit wearing. well, not so much the wearing, just the walking around in it while i am wearing it :)

Loukia said...

Loved this post!

I can relate. My 'underwear' drawer needs a major re-org!

I hate making decisions, so I'll make a decision quickly and then think about it and realize it was the wrong choice. So annoying.

Don't even get me started on swimsuit season! It just sucks. Trying on bikinis in unflattering light in tight little change rooms is not fun at all.


And washable Crayola's rock!

shortmama said...

I laughed at your outfit of choice because this morning as I took my daughter to school, in my ultra stylish red sweatpants and white tshirt I was singing a song to my daughter about how I didnt brush my teeth yet, didnt brush my hair-just pulled it back, didnt even put a bra on. She was laughing at me. Lucky for her I just pull up and she gets out and goes in or she could have been really embarassed by her mama!

Caitlin said...

I feel you on the swimsuit issue, and shopping. Time is money too, so why shop around?

As for the holey underwear- my husband's are bleach stained AND holey.
Sexy, sexy, sexy...

Susan said...

Do you know how much wine I could get for the price of a swimsuit?

Very valid point. I am not re-thinking any future (and dreaded) swimsuit shopping outings.

Shannon said...

"I guess truckers and other motorist are just really that hard up."

that's what she saidBWAHAHAHAHAHA!


I keep getting emails from Vladimir Belykov and Boris Martinovich and Anton Daniliovich, And yes... the emails are in RUSSIAN.

WTF?

Heather of the EO said...

I've been getting more and more of those emails too. I think it might just directly correlate with having a blog and being on twitter and such. I hope not, but...

You are so funny. Love the blog farts.

Brindi said...

BIG fan of the crayolas at our house. I have permanent marker on one wall. Was glad to have found the crayolas when we did.

Susie said...

I am 75 pounds over weight and I love my swim suit. It make me look the best I can with 75 extra pounds.

windi said...

I hate swimsuits at well. So annoying! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the comment!

The Wrenns said...

We have both the hoey-underwear & holey-sock drawer problems at my house.

Brandy said...

If someone answers the bathing suit contest let me know. I hate bathing suit shopping and I really hate wasting a ton of money on them.

Michelle said...

Men and holey underwear! Annoying!

Jenners said...

I sit here typing in...an oversize t-shirt and sweatpants. Mommy Pajamas.

Helene said...

I feel the same way about bathing suits...I just hate spending that much money on something I'm totally embarrassed to be seen in. But the kids love the pool so I must suffer through it...oh, the things we do for our kids, right?

Your son is so cute with the phone! It's funny the things they become attached to. Garrett runs around with empty DVD cases....seriously.

Rhea said...

Sleeping on top of the phone sounds uncomfortable! That's hilarious though. Cute Quinn.

I've never heard someone compare the cost of a bathing suit to wine. A unique view! You crack me up.

AiringMyLaundry said...

I hate when I get a blog fart.

Or any type of fart, really.

I also get those UK e-mails telling me that I've won the lottery. It's not nice to tease, fake UK people.

Cristin said...

I throw away hubbys holey underthings all the time...until he notices his supply has been depleted and then I make him buy himself new stuff...

Maternal Mirth said...

I think Quinn is my favorite... he's got that "off-centered-ness" about him that makes him endearing... mostly because, um, I am a little "off-centered" myself.

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

LOL at the billboards! I noticed this too when we moved across country!

I have noticed an increase in my lottery spam too!

I wear the same pjs...lol!

cat said...

Oh I am so with you on the swimsuit issue. One word - Tanktini!

Karen said...

Still chuckling about the hotel phone.

tiarastantrums said...
