Thinking Out Loud and All Over The Place

by 38 Comments

My brain is a cluster fuck of thoughts right now.

For real, I’d probably give Sybil a run for her money. Or his money. Or their money. Or his mother’s brothers money. ‘Eh, you get the idea.

Instead of properly articulating my musings with words and whatever else people use to form proper sentences, I thought I’d just spew my thoughts out into the universe, much like the devil child Regan projectile vomiting in The Exorcist. Side note: my parents almost named me Regan. That might have been interesting.

Back to my ramblings, I’m going to give you all the thoughts and I’m doing it out loud, because that’s how Amanda Spoons likes it. I always suspected she was kinky. She’s probably a screamer too.

Thinking-Out-Loud

Let’s get spewing:

  • Do you remember Dot Candy? Oh man, I owned that stuff back in the day. I would eat it right off the sheet too. I didn’t care if I got paper mixed in, I ate it all. Nary a dot survived.
  • Guess what? I found some Dot Candy when I was in Detroit last weekend. I bought it too, even though it stands for everything I despise in our current food culture. I’m fairly certain those pretty colored orbs are not actually food and they’re definitely chock full of the bad chemicals: Red Dye # 2, 5-426 and 569. I ate them all, one color at a time. Yes, one color at a time. I’m not a total monster.

  • I picked up week two of my CSA, and I’m loving on all the greens. I’m pretty sure my intestines feel the same way.

  • Speaking of things I love: this soap. Go get some. My girl Lindsey makes it, and I actually won a bar in her giveaway over a year ago. I finally got around to using it, and I’m kicking myself for not busting it out sooner.  My hands feel as soft as a baby’s bottom. It’s like Butt-ah, only bett-ah.

  • My comment response technical thing-a-ma-boppy is broken, which means you are no longer receiving an email when I respond to your comments. So if you thought I’ve been ignoring you, I haven’t; I promise. I actually respond to every single comment because engaging with the audience is half the fun for me. C’mon let’s talk.
  • I love this picture. It makes me feel like I’m in a postcard. Also my neck looks long and lithe, like a giant gazelle because those guys pose in front of moving vehicles all the time.

  • I’m happy to live in a world where cards like this exist, especially when the gravy is sassy.

I love you like biscuits love gravy

  • Last but not least, a quick story… or quickish…this is me after all. Last week, in the very wee hours of the morning, I was quietly penning my post in the dining room, when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and out the window, only to meet the gaze of a very large deer. I did what anyone in my predicament would do: I grabbed my iPhone, and hurried to the window so I could snap a picture. This particular deer must have been camera shy because he took off in the opposite direction. I still tried to get a shot, and when I looked down, I noticed my little Oscar hiding in the hosta less than two feet from where the deer was originally standing. Oscar was looking back at me inside, and judging by his facial expression, he was saying, “What. Was. That. Thing? Save me momma, Save me.” I think he might have messed his pants too. Poor fella.

The end. Until next week mes amis…

Share some of your mental musings with me, and then check back because I will respond.

  1. HHAHA a DEER??? Really!! I would’ve peed my pants too..right after getting a suitable picture out of the whole scenario! Speaking of dots, did you ever try Dippin’ Dots back in the day?? They just don’t make food like they used to!!

  3. 😆 Omg I can’t even handle Oscar’s expression. Best.shot.ever. And speaking of shots, way NOT to credit the photographer for that awesome one of you and the trolley 😉 Jokes.

    Can you believe I’ve never had Dot Candy? Was I just a sheltered child or is that more of an American thing? There’s an old-school candy shop a 1 minute walk from my door… Maybe I should go see if they have any?

    • Of course a gazelle. You don’t see the resemblance? I find it striking. 😉

      Little Oscar doesn’t have the gumption yet to go after things bigger than him; at least not yet. He almost got into a fight with his sister last night because it was dark out and he didn’t realize it was his sister. He freaked out, his tail exploded to the size of a duster and he ran. 🙂

  10. Hahaha. Cats faces are best. I think he says: ‘you and your iphone pics. Now it’s gone!! Really!?’

    I am jealous of your gazelle-like neck.

  11. Oh, my GAWD. I’m sitting at my desk cracking up over this post. First it was the biscuits card (oh, bless it. That just made my day) but then the pics of the deer and cat did me in. I bet the lawyer in the next office over thinks I’ve finally gone over the deep end of the therapy ocean.

    You gave me a shoutout! What a nice thing to do! But even better is that you liked the soap!! I’m so glad you used it. It’s a trip seeing the old company name and packaging, though!

    That poor cat. Those eyes. The startled nature of it. It’s just too good….

    • I know I should feel badly for little Oscar all terrified in what not, but it’s also pretty damn funny and I can’t help but laugh at his terror. I’m sure that makes me one sick individual but we kind of knew that already.

      I LOVE the soap. I will be ordering more once this bar runs out. It’s like moisturizer for my hands.

  13. I have a story for you..and I think it beats your deer story. Yesterday I was in my kitchen enjoying my giant mass plate of food, when I heard my sister say in the other room something about a bird. I hear a bizarre turkey like noise and figured she was watching NatGeo the Wild or some shit like that. Then I heard it again…and again…so I went to investigate. Well, lo and behold there was a facccknn chicken in my front yard!! I WANTED TO KEEP IT AND MAKE IT MY NEW PET, but its owner was soon in my yard too. So sad…and so random.

    I love your post card photo, I do remember dot candy, and your CSA haul is as beautiful as ever.

  14. Dot candy used to be so good, almost as good as those “edible” paper saucers with the sprinkles inside, those were my childhood crack of choice 🙂

    Oscars face is absolutely priceless in that picture and I can’t believe there was a deer so close to your house. It reminds me of the time there was a coyote in our yard, curled up like a cat by our back door. Nature is weird sometimes!

  16. Lady your writing is like no other! It’s like you’re sitting next to me having a conversation. Love it! That picture with you & the trolley is hilarious! It really looks like a photoshopped postcard.

  17. So I thought that soap was cheese. Is that bad?

    SYBIL. Oh Dear God that movie scarred me for life. Damn Psychology. Although, I used to be able to do an epic Sybil impersonation. Sorry if this angers you but the minute I saw the deer and read about it, I envisioned it grilled.
