1. Note to self: Do not use Nair on your upper lip days before Shi Shi Foo Foo Holiday Gala - very bad things will happen. Hey, maybe I’ll go in costume after all. Or at least wear a mask… 2. My husband called from work today to let me know that he and his friend have decided to go in costume. He is a little miffed that this Holiday Ball is being held post-holiday so he rented a Santa costume and plans to go as the Jolly Old Elf himself. His friend (your favorite, Ang) is going as Jesus H. Christ. Meanwhile, I’m wondering how the very non-Christian CEO will take all of this. 3. It gets better. Apparently, there are pre-printed drink coupons that are to be rationed out 2 per person. (Not-so secret message: Corporate does not trust us to pace ourselves in an open bar environment.) Well, someone got a hold of one of these tickets and proceeded to have gobs and gobs more made up. My husband intends on tossing them out to the crowd from his Santa sack as he makes his grand entrance. 4. Meanwhile, I’m planning on being Jesus Christ’s wife’s date. 5. Hey - in a couple of weeks this blog will be 2 years old! That’s pretty damn cool. 6. In one week, I take my written test & “audition” to become a Jazzercise instructor. Back in October I went to a “movement screening” which is the first step in the the process. Since then I have been practicing and studying my butt off - literally. My husband’s pissed. He liked most of the junk in my trunk. 7. Actually, I have some questions about being an instructor. Can you chew gum? What if you accidentally cuss up there on stage? Fart? Lose slight bladder control ? (shut up - I have issues) So many things I’ve never considered properly until now…and I know I’m going to cuss. I just hope it’s not a big one. 8. I’m in charge of bringing the snack (cookies) for my daughter’s Cotillion meeting tomorrow. Apparently we are not allowed to bring anything but the homemade variety. So does that mean store-bought cookies are considered “in poor taste”? What about the Toll House roll? 9. Thanks for all of the non-smoking-feel-good-mojo. Your support means a lot to me. Not as much as a cigarette would but still very sweet. 10. You know I’m kidding…or at least I hope you do. I’ve gotten emails from 2 very close friends recently - both of whom were worried that I was mad at them. I must be sending off even more of a bitchy vibe than I thought. Sorry to all I’ve snipped. I hope you know I love you. 11. I took the girls shopping with their Christmas gift cards on Monday. Luckily, only everyone else in the free world was there with us at the mall. I managed to get myself a little treat while I perspired through the crowds like a pig late for supper. This CD and this CD. I am so hooked. Yes, wind it up. All the way to the left, please. 12. It’s finally cold here. Now all we need is some damn snow! 13. The lovely Lindsay and I are holding the January Perfect Post Awards on Thursday, February 1st. Haven’t heard of The Original Perfect Post Awards? |

I wanna take your class!!! : )
Great TT.
Mine’s up, 13 words my 4 year old mispronounces!
Very cool list. Sounds like its going to be a fun party.
My 13 are up.
Great list. Happy T13
The party sounds like it might be interesting to just sit back and watch! Hope you get fully over the want of a smoke! Those things do kill! And what is with the malls still being so crowed?
My 13 beads are up. Happy Thursday!
Do take pix at the party - I’m dying to see!! I wish I could be a fly on the wall. It’s going to be great! Maybe you can go as Inspector Clouseau and wear a fake mustache… It’s certainly an easy costume and it will hide any imperfections in the lip area…
Best of luck on your Jazz exam. You’ll do great! If you swear, just turn the word into something else ex: sh*t becomes shitzu….
The cookie thing - the kids will eat anything! What are they gonna do if you bring store bought? Cut your pay? LOL!!
I was at the mall last week. There wasn’t a soul there then… You should have gone with me. I actually did really well at Talbots Kids… Got me a great big bag of stuff for LLB. You know me - it’s gotta be a bargain!! I went for a ball gown and came out with everything but. :-)
Lunch sometime when you have free time??
xo
LBC
I don;t think I would like a holiday party now. I am so OVER the holidays.
Good luck on being a Jazzercise instructer.
Homemade cookies or something? Who has time? I would use the roll of cookies and just slice them off. Really, what are they gonna say?
…does #4 mean you’re dating Mary Magdalene? What Dan Brown wouldn’t give to have been able to work you into the story!
All the best with quitting smoking! I know it can be hard! My dad gave up at 60 after staring to smoke in his teens… he’d tried several times before that unsuccessfully but the last time he got a direct call from God… It’s been six years now and we finally call it a success!
All the best with the party and the jazzercise cert as well!
Wow, that party sounds like it is going to be fun after all. LOL and OMG, peeing your pants while your instruct a class. That so reminds me of myself. SInce these days I pee my pants when I cough, sneeze, hiccup or anything else. And when I throw up……look out, It’s a waterfall. Ahhhh, the many joys of pregnancy.
Nice list! Mine’s up!
:brickwall:
So, I’m glad I’m not the only one - quit with the vibe thing already. I still have leftover cake. Come, have some. You missed the party, but I know the whole smoking cessation thing and jazzing your ass off has you preoccupied.
If Fergie can pee her pants up on stage I don’t see any reason why you can’t!
Cold enough to put away the flip flops! I would love to see some photos of the gala. Sounds like it will be a blast. Congrats on being born again!
My 13 are wearing pink pants.
Part of #7 is in my 13, heehee.
Great list:O) Happy TT!
That party sounds like it is going to be memorable. Good luck with your test to become a Jazzercise instructor!
I’d buy some Farmer’s market cookies and put them in a plastic container. Viola!
I’ve heard a few farts in my step class before. And two weeks ago I had a particularly gassy night in PiYo. It’s better in step class…the music drowns it out, but in PiYo it’s quiet and serene, so the damn things echo. Kinda hard to clench it when your abs are screaming! Just don’t exhale straight into the microphone. Please. That’s all I ask.
That party sounds like it’ll be a blast. What a hoot!
Another lip hint: DON”T get it waxed if you use retinol. Can you say “chemical burn”?
You must take pictures and post them. I can’t decide if I like the idea of Santa throwing out drink coupons, or you as Jesus’ wif’s date better. (Although who that would be, I haven’t figured out yet. The mind churns.)
2 years!! WOW…….I have been commenting on this blog that long? My sister’s must be 2 years too. She started the same time you did. Congratulations!!!!
I still enjoy reading and find your blog very interesting.
Your list made me laugh
I seriously wish I could be in your Jazzercise class. You would laugh your head off if you could see my dorky self trying to follow the music. And I wouldn’t make fun of you if you peed yourself.
Please tell me you will let me see the photos!
I’m amazed you survived the smell of that Nair on your upper lip long enough to write this lovely list.
That’s right- we’re starting our second careers in specialized education together, aren’t we? You’ll do fine and be a delightful instructor. Provided you continue to not smoke. Be as crabby as you like as long as you like- whatever it takes.
This post convinced me to postpone the upper lip waxing I was planning for yesterday evening before a similar event!
great list - I can relate to #8 and I’d definately be going with the Toll House roll. I like you’re husbands idea of spreading the drink tickets - too funny.
