Things that make you go hmm? or boo?

So I have been doing well for the last week or so on my latest attempt to lose weight.  I decided to start by tracking my food on Myfitnesspal.com.  I have used it on and off for a while.  I like it because it tracks all of the nutritional info too.  Anyway, every website has advertisements on the site, right?  No big deal, no one really pays attention.  So what two advertisements are on my food tracking page: Duncan Hines blue velvet cake and my favorite (White Castle).  What kind of crap is that!  Junk food should be banned from that site.  Especially, when there are hungry people tracking food :)

awesomeness

I saw a post on Facebook that says "90% of a child's awesomeness comes from the grandmother" so I tell Austin...and he says with a totally straight face, "Well then she must be pretty awesome!" and goes back to his playing.  He's such a goofball.

stolen kisses

So, I love my nieces to pieces and I would do anything for them.  And, I am sure they love me too.  Paige has always given me hugs and she came to me as a baby, blah..blah...blah.  Miss Cady was always very affectionate but we had a game of running away when I would try to kiss her.  She loved the chase.  But, I have found my match in little B.  She makes me chase her too and I try to make it a game, but I'm not sure she really wants the kisses or hugs.  Today, Krista chased her and brought her over and I gave B a big kiss on the forehead.  She immediately wiped it off.  So, I blew her a kiss and she acted like she was rubbing it off.  I blew another one and Krista acted like she caught it and put it in B's pocket.  B then proceeded to pick the kiss out of her pocket and gave it to Aunt Barb.  What a little stinker :)

Smurfiness

I found a shirt that I had bought a little bit ago.  It was a long sleeve blue denim-ish material.  I didn't wash it before I put it on and didn't think any more about it.  At work the other day, I was typing at my desk and noticed that my fingers looked a little blue.  Because I am the alarmist that I am, I immediately think that I am not getting blood to my fingers.  I google it and determine that I must have a heart problem, right? After all, I am a large lady :) I take off my shoes to make sure my feet are not also blue (they are not).  I debate with myself for a while about checking with the school nurse to see if she has one of those devices that tells you your oxygen blood level.  I decide that schools probably do not have these devices.  I debate going to the hospital too but decide momentarily not to because it would cost a fortune and I have no other symptoms.  Anyway, I pump my hands to try to get more blood to them, but that really doesn't help.  So luckily within the hour I had to use the restroom.  While washing my hands, I notice a slight blue tint to the draining water and finally realize that it was my shirt.  Felt a little stupid, but glad that I wasn't dying.  Anyway, although I washed my hands a million times that day, I looked like a smurf from the elbow down to my fingers.  What a smurfy day!
