Ponderings of a Mad Woman

1. Well, I know this is gonna sound weird and all but I really think somewhere down the line my youngest daughter Ella is related to Fred Sanford.

It’s not that she’s really messy or anything it’s just that she gets this look on her face…you know the one he gets when he’s really pissed off at Lamont. Yeah, that one. She has it, dead on…like most of the time. And then there’s that whole, “I’m coming Elizabeth” hysteria. Everything is down right hysteria. That’s Ella.

Really. They’re in the same gene pool. I know it deep in my heart.

2. Rico went to help my friend Farm Chick with her sink hole dilemia early Saturday morning. He informed me that she cooked them breakfast in her bikini…which I know is a lie. He said if I was a good wife I would be doing the same thing…that it would be…errr, “HAWT.”

No, it would not be “hawt”, it would be stupid to fry bacon in a bikini and if you find me one woman who thinks it’s a good idea, I’ll show you a woman who needs enemas til clear.

3. It is really stupid for me to clean the house because no one appreciates it, keeps it clean, nor do I enjoy it.

4. I recently found out the next Blogher conference was in NYC and was sooooo excited cause I have a girlfriend who lives there and I can crash in her Manhattan apartment. This friend is single, no kids, pals around in the Hampton’s on the weekends. I’m insanely jealous.

So I email her and tell her I want to come up next August in which she replies…”You mean…like next year?”

Yes, like next year…cause I have no life.

Yes, that’s me.

5. Ella informed my Indian ophthalmologist that he was “brown.”

Yeah, like he didn’t already know that.

Thanks, Ella.

Mission Accomplished:Mom Embarrassed.

6. My beautiful NYC blog techie nerd, Lara contacted me on Facebook recently using a name I didn’t recognize.

I messaged her to see what the hell was going on. She said she put her name in cyrillic to ward off stalkers.

I thought maybe it was her Ukranian stripper name.

I never get stalkers.

7. I have a retarded cat. I’m sorry….a mentally disabled cat. I’m supposed to be all PC.

Anyhoo, my kids have literally done everything imaginable to it and it still hasn’t left. They’ve dropped him, dunked him in the pool, put stuff in his ears, swung him by his tail…and he comes back for more. He doesn’t even fight back.

They could put turpentine on his ass and he would still rub their leg.

8. Of all the things I’ve given up due to the crappy economy, I miss my dry cleaner the most.

I might consider having a tawdry affair with him in order not to iron.

Hey, if you’re reading this, call me. Maybe we can work something out.

  • Oh my Good Lord! I'm with you on the dry cleaner. I too have given up my lovely dry cleaner since I am unemployed. I now have to iron the hubby's shirts! Ugh! I wrote an entire post about it. I'm with you sister.
  • I think it would be funny to tell good'ol Rico, you will "consider" cooking him breakfast in your bikini, if he mows the lawn in a speedo...lets see how HAWT he thinks that is...I love reading your blog!!!

    Smooches,
    Sassy Chica

    I don't have a washer/dryer in this tiny studio.
    Therefore, I HAVE to iron.

    It's the price I pay...... ;-)

    In a pinch, I've used my flat iron as an actual iron. Results not so great.

    Frying bacon in a bikini? Hmmm... sounds like some sort of Double Dare for CMT show.
  • Re #3: AMEN, SISTER!

    I use the dryer as an iron too. We're a little wrinked occasionally, but I've got more impoortant things to worry about / spend my time doing.

    Just sayin'
  • I don't even go to the pool in a bikini, let alone the kitchen. Think of the potential occupatinal health and safety issues. The mind boggles.

    You crack me up. Love it!
  • my random responses: 1) fry the bacon in the george forman and no more spatters! and there is no way I'm EVAH wearing a bikini again--bacon nearby or not! 2) should a person have a ukranian stripper name, you know, just in case? 3) we have the dog that matches your cat. He's stupid, but oh so loyal. Totally worthless, but oh so loyal. 4) um, good luck with the dry cleaning thing. . .you crack me up!
  • You crack me up! I can barely fry bacon in a full suit of armor let alone in a bikini.
  • Laura
    You always make me smile when I am having a bad day! Maybe I should call you often and I could laugh daily!!

    And yes, my dryer is my iron as well. We also use Downy Wrinkle Releaser. I haven't ironed a shirt in over 5 years!!!
  • Hey girl, the guys have come a long way from wanting to see us barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen to cooking bacon while wearing a bikini.
    Thank God for birth control. Cause cooking bacon while in a bikini could cause the pregnant thing.
    I'm also with the blackmail lady, dryer/iron AND he still wants to see you in a bikini. Woo hoo!!!

    I have a cat like that, too. Don't feel bad. While I am extremely PC about how I refer to everything else, I have a very un-PC and unkind nickname for her that refers to her diminished mental capacity. Any cat that gets angry when she runs out in front of the dogs and they have the temerity to *gasp* CHASE her, well, is not what I'd call bright.
  • The closest I got to cooking breakfast in a bikini was standing (fully clothed) on the pool deck taking a picture of that whole "digging out the sinkhole" debacle.

    I am with the Blackmail Lady: The dryer is my iron.
  • The dryer is my iron.

    And, the good news, your husband wants to see you in a bikini - woo hoo!!!!
  • OH I SO AGREE!!
