Not much to update
I don't have much that I want to update.
I will say that currently I am in a really good place. There's no need for me to list reasons why or anything like that but I'm in a good place. I like it here and I think I will work hard to stay here. If you see me slipping? Kick me in the ass and remind me how nice it is to be in a good place.
I had a meeting at work today with my boss that I had feared was going to be very icky. And it could have been. But he is such an awesome boss and handled it with pure professionalism and I was worried over nothing. In fact, things totally went my way. :) I feel like a valued employee.
My parents painted their house. For some unknown reason my Dad left it up to my Mom. WTF was he thinking. My Mom is a bit eccentric. Well now so is their house. I can only describe it as gardenhose green with hunter green trim. I said these exact words to my Mom: "You're fucking nuts and that house is hideous. I don't know what the fuck you were thinking. You are a crazy old woman and i am going to start calling you Howard Hughes. There is something loose up in that brain of yours and I can't believe that Dad isnt leaving you over this. Did you find a sale on that hideous fucking paint?" She responded with a laugh and then said she thought for sure that I would be on her side with this one because I too have a nut loose in my brain. *snort* She is insane in the membrane. It's now the ugliest house in their entire city and I am sure it can be spotted from space without using a telescope. I'm sure it is how the astronauts know that they are looking at earth.
I love that I can be so open with my Mom like that. *giggle*
Ooooh, gotta go. The timer for my baked garlic/cauliflower just went off.

*evil eye* You're lucky! If I had seen one mention of midget Harley riders I would have never spoken to you again.
*grin*
*snort* Yes you would. Because you luuuuuuuuuuv me.
Her little legs were just flailing about. *snort*
Yay for a good place! And damn, garlic cauliflower sounds gooooooooood. I had garlic chicken with Jimbo for lunch today. :)
Garlic chicken with Jimbo?
Is that like chicken with rice? Or Chicken Gumbo? :P
Ah. That explains the curious greenish cast to my sunset today.
If your mom paints your her a bright icky green with yellow trim then it will look like Kim's. Probably.
I will let my Mom know that she is responsible for my little boxed friend's green glows, Swami.
I? would paint my house red and gold but never green and yellow. *grin*
Grrrr. Michelle is trying to take me away from my happy place.
She would not change the channel when Wheel of Fortune was on. You have no idea how much I hate this show. Almost as much as I hate Star Jones. Then she was singing the yellow polka dot bikini song. Which drives me insane because the polka dots on the bikini in that commercial are red. And according to the song, the polka dots are yellow. And it really annoys me that they show a bikini with red polka dots. Grrrrrrrrrrr. She lokes to torture me.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
We just had an earthquake. *grin*
Did you sing Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move" ?
WE bought 3 AC's last night! DH could only put 2 in.
Plus? We have a $40 rebate from them coming to us!
I think wacky colored houses are cool. I salute Mom's individuality and ability to change things up a bit!
Yay for the happy place! ...and LOL @ what you said to your mom.
Omigawd! I argued with Mr. Nutz about the yellow polka dot bikini thing too! I said the polka dots should be yellow, he said no it was the bikini! Doh!
*evil grin* Calls Michelle again.
We did, Puff. It was a 4.4 in Santa Rosa. About 80 miles from here. It was a fun little one that got our blood pumping.
Zombs, I'm all for a wild house but she could have picked a better and more pleasing color. *makes face*
We are sooooo right on this one, Nutz.
I never should have given you her number gain, Breezy. *shakes head*
Good for you and your good place.
Too funny about your parents' house. If you'd like, I could send her a citation.
I'm glad you're in a good place. I was there a bit ago. I guess I got kicked out to make room for you and I'm cool with that. *smooch*
LOL @ your parents' house.
Boo, the sad thing is that my Dad is on the city council and so my Mom went to the planning commission to have the color approved. Which of course they did. This city has been quite kind to my Dad who has served for them for almost 30 years. I wish they would have just had the guts to tell her no.
Thank you, Glow.
*snort* everytime you go over there you should whip out a red flag and call her for offensive paint. *snort*
*kicks Carey in the ass*
(Because you said we were supposed to in your first paragraph and no one has yet.) (You slipped from your happy place a little due to Wheel exposure, and bikinis which may or may not be yellow)
I was actually alive when that song went around the first time and I vaguely remember the stores selling bright yellow bikinis with colored polka dots. I have always thought it was a yellow bikini.
My mom loved Wheel so I can't diss it.
Okay, I'll take the kick. But really, those two things really do disturb me greatly.
YELLOW POLKA DOT. It says it right there in the song. Yellow polka dot!!!!!!!!!!!
*takes deep breath and goes back to happy place*
Ha! The house sounds hideous! And I love you & your mom's banter about it.
I'm SO happy you are in a good place.
And Swami? MY NEIGHBOR'S house is that color...not mine!
Kim, my Mom really is off her rocker. She always has been. Sometimes I wonder if I was switched at birth. *snort*
Really, we need to see the original lyric sheet. If there is a comma after yellow, then we can believe those yellow bikini people.
Here, i copied this from a website. And I stand by my original statement. Commas or not.
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polkadot bikini
That she wore for the first time today
An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polkadot bikini
I always thought it was a bikini with YELLOW polka dots. It wasn't until that yogurt commercial started about a year or so ago that I realized it was a yellow bikini. So wrong! They are supposed to be YELLOW POLKA DOTS!
And, I also hate Wheel. *blech*
Glad you're in your happy place Carey. Stay there.
*gets kicking foot ready just in case*
Thank you Nookie. *stomps*
I am cracking up thanks to all of you.
Is there a difference between "polka" dots and other types of dots? Are there different types of dots with other musical names?
Did Sir Edward Polka discover the Polka dot, or what?
I think tangodots doesn't sound as good.
Yes, but come on. Wouldn't you like to have a skirt with Mambo dots?
Mambo dots, perhaps. A skirt? Never.
I think the commercial is right. Yellow and polka dot are two adjectives used to describe the bikini. It doesn't mean that the polka dots are yellow. It means that the bikini is yellow and it has polka dots.
*waits for Carey to pitch a fit*
(Seriously though, I think either way could be correct.)
Don't come into my blog to argue things that are so important to me. You need to read the blog protocol handbook. *kicks Jen*
Come on people! The bikini is YELLOW with polka dots. Obviously the polka dots have to be a different color than the bikini otherwise it would just be solid color.
When describing an article of clothing you don't say "my shorts are yellow polka dots with a white background." NO! You say my shorts are white with polka dots.
So everyone who isn't obviously blond *snort* should be able to figure out the song refers to a YELLOW bikini with polka dots of another color. Sheesh.
*grin*
Should I send shantheWOman over here to explain it further?
*high fives Jen*
Read it? Pffft. I wrote it, bitch!
*giggle*
(btw, I asked my mom (who is not a crazy house painter) and she agress that the bikini is yellow. Nyah nyah.)
*high fives Jen's Mom*
Whatever. You're a bunch of beyotches. *stomps out of blog*
*high fives Augie back*
I told my mom that Augie gave her a high five. She looked at me weird. *giggle*
If the bikini were supposed to be yellow, it would say "Yellow bikini with polkadots" It does NOT say this. It says "yellow polkadot bikini"
I will not argue about this anymore. I am right. This is my blog and therefore my answers trump all of your answers. If you don't like my point of view, go play in your own gawddamned blogs.
*mummbles to self about these crazy asses who are arguing with me*
YELLOW POLKADOTS, PEOPLE!!!!!!
I think I'm going to buy Carey a yellow, polka dot bikini for her birthday.
*snort*
"Yellow bikini with polkadots" doesn't rhyme with "itsy bitsy teeny weeny". They had to take some artistic license to make it catchy.
Wasn't there another commercial that used that song? Like for Nair or something? I wonder what their bikini looked like. LOL. (For some reason I'm picturing a black bikini with yellow polka dots. All wrong.)
I did a google image search for 'yellow polka dot bikini'. The majority of pictures showed a yellow bikini with various colors of polka dots. I just thought you would like to know. *gigglesnort*
Geez, someone *koffCareykoff* has gotten her yellow, polkadotted bikini in a twist.
Sheesh.
*snort*
Are you ignoring me? Have you decided I'm right and you're too proud to admit it? Are you going to kick me again?
(I'm LMAO over here.)
Ummmm, no. I actually have to work. *glares*
Keep it up and I will turn off the comments in the post. *glares*
What color are the polka dots in the commercial? Red? If so, then the frikken song should go:
She wore an itzy bitzy teeny weeny
red polka dots on a yellow bikini.
*rolls eyes*
*looks at Carey and Nookie*
*twirls finger by side of head*
Hee Hee! We said "teeny weeny"
:-)
Oh! For the record, Nicole Kidman is currently residing in my happy place.
:-(
*glares at Augie*
Pffffffffft! Go play with your gnome.
And Nookie? You shouldn't use words like "frikken", it's not very lady like.
*picks nose*
*scratches butt*
*SNORT*
How about if I roll the r.
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrikken.
Wouldn't that be funny?
schnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnapssss
*giggle*
And Augie and Jen are correct, the bikini is yellow.
*high fives Breezy*
*high fives Augie*
You're all a bunch of shitheads. I highly dislike each and every one of you.
*grabs Carey's yellow, polkadotted boy shorts*
*gives Carey a wedgie*
Well, *I* think the polka dots are yellow!
[/suck up]
Carey's going to the movies! Carey's going to the movies!
Hey! I'm agreeing with you Carey. *pout*
*kicks Breezy & Augie on their yellow polka dotted butts*
I Breezy of sound mind and stuff, do declare that some polka dots are yellow.
How's that?
Thank you. *adds Breezy to the peeps on my good list*
And yes, Nookie. I know that you agreed with me. Any good sistah would.
I have flip flopped on this bikini issue. At first, I thought that anyone who has half a brain knows that the bikini in the song is supposed to be yellow but then I realized that would make the song grammatically incorrect. (Like most songs are but bear with me)
If the bikini in the song was supposed to be yellow, the lyric would have to be:
"She wore an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polkadotTED bikini." indicating that the bikini was in a different color than the yellow dots.
And I *like* the Wheel. In fact, I'd consider myself a "Wheel Watcher".
Thank you Tkit. I knew I could count on you.
I'll have to work on the wheel watcher thing though. I'll have to find something else to keep you occupied when that is on.
UDIGs are good like that Carey. *smooch*
Yes they are. *smooch*
Oooh, do I get the 69th comment on Carey's blog??? Yay me!
Holy crap you people! Carey is right! Stop picking on the blondes. The friggin' polka dots are yellow!!! Thanks TKit for clearing that up! *grin*
Now can we move on to something more important? Carey, if your mom painted yellow polka dots on her house, would it look better? *head tilt*
For proof, just go to my blog. *evil grin*
So the Mayor's house is the ugliest? That is hilarious.
I'm glad you've found a happy place. Stay there and report back to the rest of us about it, mkay?
And, I believe it was a yellow bikini with polka dots of another color.
*smooch*
Nope, head over to Nutz's blog. She has solved the mystery.
*smooch*
