Wednesday was a beautiful, hot Iowa day. Like any good mother, I planned to spend the day swimming at the park at the Natural History Museum gardening doing art projects in the air conditioning standing in line for a membership at the Costco that opened that very morning. What? What did you think, I was going to be selfless? Sorry to disappoint. Costco is serious business.
As I hadn’t yet gotten to was saying…
We were driving down the road and chatting away. I stopped to get a cup of good coffee for myself and some juice for The Kidling. We pulled back into traffic and continued toward Costco, chatting away. Did I mention Costco just opened? Yay! While talking about where we were heading and what our plans for the rest of the day were, Alice offered this response:
“Luckily anesthesia didn’t make me puke.”
Hey, that’s exactly what I was thinking! And by “exactly” I mean in no way related to anything even remotely close to what I was thinking.
So date this is the only entry that I have read of yours. I think I’m going to like this place.
You, my friend, could do standup. I just LOVE this blog–never fails to give me a giggle. Happy Friday, Christine!
You, my friend, could be a professional flatterer. Do go on. No, really. Please?
I’ve nominated you for the Sunshine Award.

Congrats<3
Shucks. Thanks eversomuch!
Your welcome <3
was she referring to the juice?
Nope. She was referring to the anesthesia she had before a procedure in November. It smelled awful, and she mentions it now and then when she smells something rotten. This day, though, there was nothing stinky or foul to remind her of it. who know why she was thinking about it. Perhaps she had a tickle in her ear, which reminded her?
Excellent usage of both cross outs AND italics. You’re really getting the hang of the Carrington method!
Ha ha ha! You definitely inspired the cross-outs. I have always, however, had a fondness for italics… and elipses…
