disney princess nightmare!

I had a terrible nightmare the other night. It was absolutely terrible; so terrible I was still frustrated about it for a few hours after I woke up.

I dreamed that we were having my wedding reception and it was disney princess themed in a cultural hall with. (nothing against disney princesses annie, but for a wedding?)

everyone (especially my mom and sister) in the dream seemed so excited about it, everyone but me. I didn't say anything until the cake decorator asked if the roses looked okay to which I replied, "well, yeah, but that's not what I wanted, no one asked me what I wanted for my wedding! who thought that I wanted disney princesses?"

it was awful.

I was mad.

what a nightmare.

overheard

in a frustrated tone, "the girls just didn't like me because all the guys were after me."

well, yeah, that's usually how it goes. we're a jealous breed

another great line

today my other favorite little neighbor was over and she asked my mom how old she is. after getting her answer she exclaimed, "you're older than my dad!. . . but you don't look as old." gotta love the honesty

from my favorite 6-year-old:
"why do you buy all this stuff (cleaning supplies) and never use it?" apparently, we don't clean our house enough.

she's offered to move in to do the cleaning.

the love fern

don't know what made me think of this; but i once received a love fern. i wasn't always the most kind to boys back when it happened, but i imagine his face looked a lot like hers when he asked if i had smashed the pot and killed the plant and i answered, "well, i didn't, but the garbage truck probably didn't help"

goodbye triathlon

it's amazing how quickly some things come and go. one second i was running in a soccer game and the next it hurt to run so i stopped. i have no idea what i did because i was being lazy and not playing anywhere near the ball or other people when my knee just starting hurting so i decided to sub out of the game. the next day my right knee was twice the size of my left and as it turns out i have a torn meniscus. it's only a small tear and it's not very painful, but my physical therapist just gave a little chuckle (a, it's not happening chuckle) when i mentioned triathlon. so maybe next year.

the real housewives of orange county

ok, so I don't watch the show, but happened to be flipping through channels when I heard this gem. "I don't need a 6 carat diamond ring! a 2 or 3 carat would have been fine."

triathlon (well sprint triathlon)

i'm taking on a new challenge - a triathlon, sprint distance. for some, this is a walk in the park, but not for me. i've only been doing yoga lately (which i absolutely love) so my training for everything else is at an all time low. i've found that I can run the full distance, and bike the full distance - I am just really slow; swimming is a different story. I commend all you swimmers out there, it's hard. I will get there, and i'm excited to give this a try even if I come in last. so if you're looking to find me, i'll be at the gym
