5 for 5

Seaside Girl tagged me. You know I can't resist, I'm weak like that. I'm currently waiting along the side of the airport road for a ride to the end of the lane so I can catch the bus (probably anyway, I scheduled this post for about that time. I hope the plane wasn't delayed). I am fuckin' thrilled to be in Belize. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. I'll bore you all with pictures later.

Now where go that plane?

Almost There

My sister is coming up to see my parents for the day. She says can you come over too? Um no, sister mine, I can not. I have no way of getting there, as the vehicle is still dead but I have a more important reason for not going. For tomorrow is travel day, so that makes today......anyone? That's right, that makes today personal grooming day. There are things that need to be washed, and waxed, and plucked and scrubbed, and massaged and removed and shaved and such. Now it shouldn't take me all day. But when you get a little lax about these things, you like to give yourself extra time.

And if there is time after, I really need fi pack. That usually involves a manic treasure hunt looking for either my passport, one shoe, or some trousers that only have holes in acceptable places.

So sorry sister dear, you get the parental units all to yourself. Have fun with that.

This pretty much says it all

A Big Bag Of Pink Sparkly Unicorn Crap

This week has been a mixed bag. I've had a migraine for two days but I bought new shoes. Brand new, never even been laced up for trying on, new shoes. That brings my grand total of non-work shoes to three pairs! Granted one of those pairs I keep in Belize and the second are a pair of gently dog chewed flip-flops, but whatever.

Da boys n me have nits. Fabulous. I guess that's bound to happen when there is a constant stream of 20 kids though the house. Still icky though. But my best friend decided since I had to cancel my trip to see her in San Francisco, she would come see me in Belize. Cuz she knows I'm useless like that. Not only do we get to hang out for a week, but it will be during the archaeological field school, so I can put her to work. Hahahaha!

(ask me)10

Five question-itis is going around and I couldn't bear to be left out. Of course I'm greedy so I asked Extranjera and Mrs. Rotty if I could play. They were very obliging. First up questions from Extranjera (I'm compulsively checking that I spell your name correctly, why do I do that?)


1. What 5 books would you take with you on a deserted island (since that boat capsized and you swam ashore) in order to read over and over again? Of course this scenario involves a hot rasta who ends up being stranded with you, so you might want to consider that in regard to the selection too...

Only 5? torture! and that you for the company on this island. I don't even know where to start, so I'll give you the first books I love that come to mind.

a. The Brothers Karamazov in hardback, in case we need a weapon as well
b. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
c. The Code of the Woosters
d. The Great Gatsby
e. Your Favorite Seuss (i mean if i have a 'hot rasta with me, we are gonna have whole heap di pickni so many children we could start our own football league.)

2. What makes you proud?
living my life the way i want to and seeing my boys be kind to those they meet
oh and a minute 10 on my hands (Yeah, baby, ok, i had one foot on the door, but it still counts)

3. Name 3 things you can't live without? (Children, men, and family in your life excluded)

I'm assuming friends are part of the family exclusion, so I guess it would have to be books, the ability to travel, and music

4. What was the hardest decision you ever had to make?
Whether or not to tell number three i had been pregnant. I had a miscarriage before I got a chance to tell him he was going to be a father.

5. What makes you laugh? (peeing in you pants laugh, not just tee hee laugh)
that's a hard one. I laugh alot, but any time my best friend and i talk there is always hysterical laughter. And it's not always about the way i speak. (i talks good). Other than that, Men Behaving Badly and Black Books release my inner giggle monster.

And now a wee interview with Mrs.Rotty.

1) if money were no object, but you had to work, what would you want to do?
trapeze artist, spy, 1930's San Francisco private eye, or author

2)favorite food that you could eat every day of your life (if you never gained weight
is Dr. Pepper a food? actual food, plantains fried in palm oil

3)whats the one thing you never leave home with out?
ipod

4)what is your favorite smell?
ripe strawberries, coconut, or a man with frankincense oil on him

5)What is your favorite article of cumfy clothing?
an old three button thermal shirt. I don't get to wear it that often, but it's soft and warm.

Week of Fit

This weeks fitness goals were a little hard for me. I waited until the last minute to post in hopes I could knock out number two. Last weeks goals were

1. Ride my bike to my parents house (about 32 miles).

2. stand on my hands for a minute. Gotta build up my arm strength for capoeira.

3. one soda a day.

1. I ended up not needing to borrow my parents vehicle, but I still went for a 30 mile bike ride. It took me about two and half hours. I was beat, but I did it.

2. I tried and tried to accomplish this goal. My best time was 46 seconds.

3 - done. i didn't much like it but i think i can get used to it.

This weeks goals

1. one minute on my hands
2. 45 minutes of cardio 3 times this week
3. more sleep! i'm hoping for 6 hours a night, even if i have to nap, or even just lie in a dark quiet room with my eyes closed.

Don't forget to check out Stacey and Jewelz and see how they are coming along this week.

Anyone Got Any Calgon?

Not more than 36 hours ago, my house was completely tidy. This morning I woke to find that there have some very naughty going ons. Sherlock says

i had to bring the dirty laundry in your room. It's easier to hide your shoes

Nope no meat in the couch, but look at the mess those boys made

So that's what's inside my bed!

See nobody was paying attention to me, they were entertaining the 6th fleet.

That'll teach me to come home after dark.

What Did You Do Today?

I'm happy today. So happy in fact that I got thrown out of the library. I wasn't doing to much wrong just listening to a little of...



maybe dancing a little, kinda like this



Might not have been so bad 'cept i was singing this right before


and not just in my head.

Stoopid Wings

Pens win the freakin' cup. Waahh, Pfft. Congrats n shit to them I guess, but it will not be spoken of in this house.

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Once again my car wouldn't start so I couldn't go a maiding. Nothing to do for it, except clean my own house. Oh noes! I did all those things I said I did yesterday. The kitchen now smells of oranges, and the rest of the house has a lemony vinegar scent even the baseboards. Except for Tesla and Sherlock, they smell like tea tree oil. Great as a flea deterrent, but don't use on cats.

I'm beat, gonna open up the windows, curl up with some soft music and enjoy the smell of the impending rain.
