Happy Monday!

So. I was just looking at the last time I blogged, and apparently it's time to fill this web page with the meaningless fluff and bull that is - my blog. Seriously. I'm not even sure why I do it except for my own amusement, since I never really have anything meaningful to blog about. But, alas, I must subject the few who do take a peek to the intricate and complex workings of my brain (insert fake, maniacal laugh here) because...wait. Why am I doing this again? Oh. Because I'm mormon, I'm married, and I think the prophet said so. I seem to have missed the memo on having children. Blast.

I went to Sam's Club and Costco today, only to discover that there is a reason I let my Costco card lapse. Seriously. Why do James and I need 83 gallons of milk or 67 pounds of peanuts? It's ridiculous.

You know what else is ridiculous? I was on my way to teach yoga tonight and looked in my rearview mirror, only to discover that I had a sweet kool-aid mustache all along my upper lip. I mean, seriously. What am I, 5? And it's not like this has never happened to me before - it's every time I take a frickin drink of kool-aid. Oooo but you seriously have to try the generic brand of Crystal Light - it's probably Great Value since it's Walmart - but the strawberry flava (that's right-flava). It's super good. So good, you may get a mustache, so be very, very careful. Unless, of course, you like that sort of thing.


Moving on. Becky and I were discussing the other day how we were pretty much tom-boy-ish growing up...I remember wearing t-shirts and jeans every day of my life...walking around town with Becky without any shoes or socks on...laughing at cheerleaders...making fun of boys who loved pink. When I was in elementary, I remember my favorite t-shirt was a sweet reptile gardens one with a big bird of some sort on the front. In high school, I pretty much wore whatever regional/state (insert various sport here) LARGE t-shirt I could lay my hands on. Oh. And Silvertab jeans that I probably could have fit 2 of me into. I remember bragging that I never put any product in my hair or wore any jewelry (Well, congratulations. You look like crap). I specifically remember showing up to school half the time with my hair wet. Sigh.

I'm not sure when that changed - don't get me wrong. I still love me some t-shirts and jeans, just ones that fit. And pretty much I still don't do my hair, but at least I try - sometimes I even use hairspray. But somewhere along the line, I started loving pink. And high-heeled shoes. And RUFFLES. I am obsessed with ruffles, I tell you. How girly can you get? And my last saving grace, the last thing keeping me from being completely girly (k, maybe not. Have you seen my nails?) has been my lack of jewelry. I've always been, again, half-proud that I don't wear any jewelry - I don't even have my ears pierced. It has kept me from completely embracing my two X chromosomes. But, alas...Cindy Allred invited me to a Silpada party last fall, and I have been wearing jewelry ever since. Well, when I remember. It's difficult, I tell you. I'm even having a party at my house this Thursday (yes, you are all invited. The 2 of you that actually read this...For real though, I sent out some invitations, but just to try and get the word out there. So anyone can come - 6:30-8:30 this Thursday, open house, my house. Just show up. Cindy Allred is the rep). Ahem. So yes. I'm still holding out on the piercing of the ears...alright, I still don't think I'm that girly, but just come to my stupid party.

For those of you, or you, singular, who are still reading - seriously, though...I have the attention span of a 2-year-old, so anything longer than a paragraph usually doesn't get read - I lost my train of thought. This is ridiculous. Happy Monday, everyone! You! Mom! Mom?

Oh my gosh, you and Addison have the same brain. You covered like 12 topics in that post. You are awesome, we miss you.
Also, does the prophet really tell you to blog?

Even though I have only met you in person a couple of times, I will you with my powerful brain wave capabilities to write this blog so I can laugh my head off for a few minutes...even if it's only about once every three months. (My brain waves work better with short distances.) Anyway, good job on being girly--it's a good look for you! And we had a Costco membership for one year (like 6 years ago) and I think we just ran out of the box of trash bags we bought... ;)

Ahh the 90's and their curse on femininity.

I'm pretty sure we all looked like dudes in our Silvertabs and Nike shoes. Sometimes I miss my ambiguous gender days. Or not.

Dana, the only reason I would go to Wyoming in June would be to see you. In fact, I just might take you up on the offer. If I can shove my big fat body into a car long enough...

Scott & Tami said...

Freakin' Hilarious!!! I miss you!

Bagleys said...

Dude, you should blog more often. Seriously, it at least gives me one good laugh! And I still think you should write a book...because you're hilarious.

I remember wearing t-shirts, but that was cuz I was a chunk, not because I preferred it. Sigh...

Annnnd I LOVE jewelry. If I were closer, I'd totally come to your party. Love it, I tell you!! And earrings are pretty dang fun, Dana... I think it's time to cave and get the ears pierced.

And on the great value stuff from walmart...I buy that all the time! I like the pink lemonade, grape, and kiwi strawberry. YUM! But I put them in water bottles so I don't get the stache... :D Just an idea...

I still can't get over our oversized Zumiez sweatshirts. I mean, honestly? What were we thinking? We thought we were so cool and fashionable when really we looked like idiots. I kind of miss the days when no one cared. Put me in high school now and i would get made fun of for sure!

Carrie said...

You really should write more often because you are hilarious!! I love reading your blog!

Kathy said...

I look SO forward to your blogging - really makes my day. You are crazy like your Momma. She was a riot in school way back when. Joe and I will be in Utah during your party, so please have your Mom put a catalog in our mailbox and I'll probably purchase something unneeded, but always necessary - gotta have - right?

Ha ha ha ... the prophet telling us to blog. So true.

Chelsea Tippetts said...

Oh man, I'd love to burn every picture from grade 5 to when I was... well yesterday :( JK seriously though, did we really think we looked good? I don't think my mother loved me- she just laughed after I left the house looking a mess.

Lundberg Family said...

You crack me up! Great post..made me laugh.

Trevor & Andrea said...

Ummm...I laugh every time I read this blog! Just FYI :)

Dana said...

Yes, Kristen - thank you for pointing out that my brain is similar to a 3-year-old's. :) And sorry, I was being facetious when I said the prophet tells us to blog! haha
I'm also glad that I am not the only one that "looked like a dude" in high school and that at least a few of you can relate. lol Thanks, everyone for reading and for your comments!!! :)
