Some things I have been wondering since it is summer and I am not at work...Feel free to answer or just be confused, as I am:1. Are you supposed to eat the skin on a baked potato? I'm never sure...so usually I eat part of it so that it looks like I might have eaten some by mistake.
2. If someone calls and wakes you up in the morning and you lie and say they didn't wake you, is it then ok to make up a lie about why you can't talk just then? Or, are you obligated to go along with the farce about you already being awake?
3. If a "check engine" light or something like that comes on in your car but then goes away after a day or so, do you have to "check engine"? It is usually ok to just pretend you never saw it, right?
4. When people wanting money call from your college or PBS or something am I the only one who says that I'm not home? I like to just say I'm the babysitter or something. I'm nice about it and all....
5. Does everyone think my mom talks too much? Or, is that just my sister and me being bitchy? I love her very much but sometimes I just ask her how her day was and then I put the phone on speaker and go about my business and just call out an occasional, "Oh, really?" or "Wow." I taught my sister that trick...and she is getting good at it.
6. What exactly is Coke Zero? Is it a diet drink or an energy drink or none of the above? I don't get it and I am too lazy to pick up a can and read it.
7. Victoria Beckham isn't real, right? She is plastic. I'm sure of it.
8. Am I weird that I don't believe in running the washing machine or dryer when I'm not home? I think I heard once about a house that flooded when the water line broke and another house that burned down from a lint fire. Tom thinks I am neurotic but I prefer to think of it as careful.
9. Am I the only mother who gets annoyed when her kids are sick? I mean, shouldn't they just be able to suck it up and move on? I do. Ok, if they were REALLY sick, I'm ok with it. But fake sick, like a cold or swine flu or something like that annoys me.
10. Who else likes Drake and Josh?
11. Since it is summer I will be watching more Oprah. Let's vote...who wants her to stick with people who have bizarre problems and stay away from all the spiritual crap? I hate it when she gets all "best life" and I love the hoarders!
12. Who else thinks that the people adversely affected byt the "D tv" switch aren't worth worrying about? Seriously...Every watcher for themselves.
That's all for now.

#5 I do that with SB. Sometimes she can tell I'm not listening and she will start talking about "I fuc*ed Joe today and it was really great and I'm thinking about doing it again..ect." When I reply with "uh huh, that's good"..she then busts out laughing and calls me a SOB and things of that nature.
ReplyDeletep.s. Yes, you "Did It Right" (I'm sick and tired of...).
Amy, you ALWAYS "do it right". ;) I know, I know, that's what HE said...
Luv the 'close-up'..
If you washed the potato, go ahead and eat the skin. They make skin-on fries and mashed potatoes so it's ok to eat potato skins.
ReplyDeleteI've not owned a TV in 3+ years, so anything that happens on, with or about TV's is off my radar.
And... I am pretty sure that Victoria Beckham is either an alien or a fembot. Certainly not human.
AmyK! Great photo! And great nails, too!
ReplyDelete1. Are you supposed to eat the skin on a baked potato?
***YES. It's good for you. Has many nutrients. Just wash it well before baking.
2. If someone calls and wakes you up in the morning and you lie and say they didn't wake you up...
***Whaaaa? I snarl "What do you want?!" and they go away.
3. If a "check engine" light or something like that comes on in your car but then goes away after a day or so, do you have to "check engine"? It is usually ok to just pretend you never saw it, right?
***Ha! Ask your hubby about that one! When he's calm...
4. When people wanting money call from your college or PBS or something am I the only one who says that I'm not home?
***I pledge to PBS and NPR so I think if you listen or watch, you should pledge some little bit. It's only fair for quality programming.
5. Does everyone think my mom talks too much?
***Everyone's Mom talks to much except me. I'm a virtual Sphinx. Ask my hubby. I don't emote much or talk about *feelings*. I'm some sort of alien woman.
6. What exactly is Coke Zero?
***Aaaack! Pepsi Pepsi Pepsi!
7. Victoria Beckham isn't real, right?
***I don't care as long as she's not on the graduation committee for my daughter's senior year.
8. Am I weird that I don't believe in running the washing machine or dryer when I'm not home?
***You're neurotic. That's why you have homeowner's insurance.
9. Am I the only mother who gets annoyed when her kids are sick?
***No. But my daughter is sick so often, from her own meds, that I have great sympathy for her and let her stay home as the meds to fix the side effects of the other meds put her in a practically induced coma for 8 hours so it's no skin off my nose.
10. Who else likes Drake and Josh?
***WHO?
11. Since it is summer I will be watching more Oprah.
***NO! You are going to read a book and enhance your mind rather than shoving crap into it!
12. Who else thinks that the people adversely affected byt the "D tv" switch aren't worth worrying about?
***Hey, that's my Mom you're talking about. And poor people. Poor and confused old people deserve our help. We shouldn't be making life any harder on them.
Ms Dark and Pop...thanks for the confirmation on the potato skin!
ReplyDeleteAs for Oprah...I only watch when on the treadmill. I will be reading A LOT this summer!
And Blas...I hope my mom never learns SB's trick...good one!
