I am stuck in a writers block, so I had someone give me three questions to write about. So here is number one...My most embarrassing moment. I have two that are pretty much tied in the embarassment rating. So I will write about both of them.
1. When I was 16 my best friend and I used to go to the gym on the base (We lived in an airforce town) to "work out". When I say to work out , what we were actually there for was to flirt with cute older guys. Looking back on it now we were probably hilarious to all of them showing up in our workout outfits with our hair and makeup done...but I digress. One day in particular that we went to the gym we saw two good looking guys and made our move. We sneakily followed them and made sure that our workouts were in close proximity to where they were at all times. After a while they left the main workout area and went to where the bikes and treadmills were. (They were probably trying to escape us, now that I think about it). They got on the bikes, perfect we thought. We were going to get on the treadmills in front of them. Of course this would give them the perfect chance to look at us while they worked out. What could be better. They had apparently gotten new tread mills since the last time we had gone. The new ones were all computerized and had a million buttons. We'll I didn't want to embarrass myself by acting like I didn't know what I was doing. So I jumped on the treadmill and started pushing all the buttons. Before I even had a chance to know what hit me, the machine started really fast and flung me off it and I smacked into something. I looked up and the thing I hit when it threw me was the guy I was trying to flirt with. I crunched into his bike. I looked at my best friend and she was almost rolled over on the floor laughing and was no help to me. I don't know if the guys were laughing, I couldn't look. I grabbed my friend and ran.
2. When my son was about four or five he went through a phase where he just found certain words funny. He would say a word and would just think he had never heard anything as funny sounding as that word and he would repeat it over and over again until he got bored. We went to the store one day and he found a stuffed peacock. He said "hmmm... a peacock, that's a funny name...a cock that pees, a cock that pees." he repeated it again and again getting louder and louder as I was trying to ignore him. He didn't know what the word meant and I didn't feel like explaining it to him in the middle of the store, so I just nodded and tried to ignore him. The more I ignored him the louder the chorus of "it's a cock that pees" went on, until finally I found something else to distract him. The whole time we were in there though there was a lady and her husband whispering and giving me the dirtiest looks and one guy did a double take and tried not to laugh when he heard him.
]]>My daughter looking at the fish in the creek near our house.
]]>It is so freaking hot in my house with no air conditioning. My daughter was actually sick yesterday because of the heat. She has never handled heat very well. She has passed out many times because of it. She gets that from my ex-husband. Anyhoo... it is supposed to be even hotter tomorrow. This sucks. We have been grilling all week so we don't heat up the kitchen, but even without cooking we are drenched in sweat...and I hate to be sweaty. I hate it. Wahhhhh!!!
]]>I have had the perfect weekend. Friday: After I got off work we lit the bonfire in the backyard, roasted marshmallows and fired up the grill. We had garlic chipotle salmon,corn on the cob and yellow rice. We did nothing but hung around outside. I even attempted to overcome my creative block and draw something. It was nothing exciting, but it was something and that is more then I can say I have done in a long time.
Saturday: The kids and I went to Toys-r-Us. They were having a little party thing with kids activities and the kids wanted to spend their birthday money. We hung out there for awhile. We went home packed a picnic lunch and headed out to the spring. The spring is an old spring we found when we were geocaching one time and it is my new favorite place to relax. You can hear the water bubbling and running and you can sit in this old brick water house and stay out of the hot sun. It is awesome. I forgot my sketchpad which is what I had planned to do while sitting at the spring, so instead I took pictures. Another attempt to get over my creative block. I figure I will make myself do something every day. We left the spring and rented movies and a video game. On the way home we hit the thrift store. I actually bought an exercise bike, my goal is to get back to my regular weight by my brother's wedding in September. The kids played and I cleaned my room and wrote. You guessed it, another attemtp at creative recapturing. We decided to grill and build another bonfire, so we roasted marshmallows again and had burgers and baked beans. I rode the exercise bike while the food was cooking. I went to bed exhausted. It was great.
Sunday: I got up and rode the bike for awhile. Then I grabbed the only child who had woken up for the day and we went grocery shopping. I came back and cleaned the house.When two kids had woken up we went and got new movies. For the remainder of the day I have pretty much laid on my hammock and on my couch and read. My kids kept themselves busy all day and I haven't heard one fight between all three of them. Supper is cooking teriyaki salmon and cheesy julienned potatoes. I know you are thinking salmon again, but actually my daughter begged for it, so yep twice in three days.
This has been the perfect weekend.

We just got back from the park. There was a guy there that was just straight up creepy. Seriously as soon as we pulled up I saw him and my freak-o-meter went off. I let my kids out to play and told them not to talk to the guy. He had a camera and was taking a picture of some girl (she was about 18-19 years old). I never took my eyes off him. He finished taking the girls picture and she left. So he starts walking toward my daughter and I was like hell no your not going to talk to her, so I started to get up to go over to where she was, but he got there first and said something to her. She came running over and said he wanted to take her picture. He was watching me the whole time she was asking. I told her no he couldn't and that a grown man doesn't need to take her picture.He saw me telling her no. So I sent her the other direction to play and stressed to not talk to him. Then he walks up and asks me if I have an email address. I said yeah. He said he could take pictures of both my daughters (my son apparently wasn't his thing) and email them to me. I glared at him and pretty much told him off. He got uncomfortable (could have been the I hope you burn in hell look I gave him) and tried to make small talk for a second and then went and sat in his car and I stood there and watched him. I must have made him nervous, because then he left. I was thinking though that I should have got his license plate number because he had a big van with tinted windows and out of state plates and the whole thing was just really freaking creepy. The guy was a slime ball too, really homely and dirty and he was using crutches, except that he wasn't really using them at all.I didn't think about the plates until he was already leaving and I couldn't read them.
]]>I went to Lowes today to get some sonic spikes to keep the moles out of the yard and some insect spray to keep the bugs off the fruit trees. I was with my animal loving daughter. We left Lowes with two bird feeders, two hummingbird feeders, food for the birds and food for our squirrel feeders. I had to wait while she looked over every product they had to get rid of moles and she had to "approve" of the thing I picked out. She had to make sure it would not hurt the moles at all. We didn't debate on the insect spray...although she would have a problem with hurting bugs just as much as she would have with hurting the animals, I just don't think she even saw the spray. So my goal of going to Lowes to get rid creatures in my yard turned into a trip to get supplies to attract more creatures to my yard.
]]>I am entirely too paranoid. I never give out my cellphone number. Only about 5 people have it. I do that because there are people I don't ever want to be able to get my number. Anyway, today I got a call. It was a blocked call and I immedietly figured it was one of the people I don't want to have my number and they somehow got it. In reality it was most likely a wrong number since, I figure if it was someone I knew they would have left a message. How retarded am I? lol
