Did You Get This? and Spandex

So did you bloggers out there get a comment on your blog from a casting director that thought you might make a good new reality tv series? I'm assuming we all did, because I am just not that interesting......

Well, it's either a legit casting person, or a stalker, or a psycho murderer, maybe a kidnapper........???

Apparently they believe that IF I was interested I would just casually email them my name, a picture of my family, all their names, and the name of their elementary school...

Is that a joke? Who in their right mind would do that????

Anyway, not at all interested. If any of you out there are, check the comments of my blog titled 3 weeks....

**********************************************

In other news, I decided sunday morning that I would not eat carbs or any snacks this week. Just fruit, veggies, and protein. I realized that the half marathon is in 3 weeks (now 2 1/2!!!!) and I was a little worried about the top 3 inches of my legs.... I mean they take a picture of you as you cross the finish line and I mean, if I'm gonna be wearing spandex pants and the picture is taken while I am in motion, I better try my darndest to look skinny! Seriously, I am not worried about the 13 miles. I will make that happen. But my thighs and butt in spandex is another story. I don't know what their t-shirt looks like or how it fits or how it will look on ME!!!!!!!!!

So I'm a little vain. Can't blame a girl. Isn't everyone?

This is what I figure.... If I look bad in the picture I will definitely go on a starvation diet the second I see it, so if I could avoid trying to starve myself thin by giving up carbs and snacks for a week or two. I'm gonna do it.

So if I seem a little edgy or impatient or down-right mean just know it's the carb lover in me crying out for help. Cuz trust me... she's starving!

Alyssa, Jessica, And A Crazy Person

I was walking down the hallway with Alyssa at her school. She was chatting away (of course I do not understand her babble but it's cute), saying bye to her friends and teachers. And I looked at her and thought, "When did my baby get so big?" She is approaching her 2nd birthday, but she seems so much older! It's not fair that she is growing up so fast! She seems to know so much and is so self sufficient, I cannot wait for her to start talking for real so I can hear what she has to say, what she thinks about. For now I will enjoy her random words and her nonstop babbling which is totally adorable!

******************************************************

I went to the fruit market the other day. I usually just go to the grocery store, but didn't want to deal with the lines or spending 3 times more than I have to. I looked at my groceries to make sure I had everything I needed and decided to take a picture because it looked so pretty and colorful...

Seriously, I need to get a life. And for sure the check out person thought I was totally nuts!

*************************************************************

When I went to Dominick's (grocery store) with Will and Alyssa on friday, Will asked me if he can do the self check out. Even though I despise self check out I let him, because for some reason every child in the world wants to work a cash register and finds it incredibly exciting to scan bar codes. I know I did when I was little.

On a side note, Jessica (11 years old) decided that she wants to stamp things as a career when she gets older. I'm not kidding. She thinks it is fun to have an ink pad and a stamper and stamp documents all day. She told me that her ideal career in life is to be the passport stamper at the international airport. Um, help. Someone talk some sense into this girl. I told her to aim higher and that I'd buy her a stamp set.

Anyway, while Will was scanning things that I passed him, Alyssa stood up in the cart, took the juice boxes, sat back down in that seat part and proceeded to open all of them. I ignored her because she was actually sitting for a few minutes, and a little apple juice on your clothes never hurt anybody. Anyway, she sneezed and the woman at the self check out behind me said TO ALYSSA.... "Um, do you mind turning that way if you're gonna sneeze."

I looked at her like she was totally insane, which I kind of believe she was, and I thought to myself, "Hmm... does this crazy lady know that she is talking to a 23 month old, who is sitting in a seat that has to face that way. Is she freakin serious????"

Now, I know nobody likes germs. I totally get that, and maybe I would have cut her a little slack for being so weird if I hadn't heard a conversation she had with someone only moments before.

She let a guy use her Dominick's card, and when he thanked her she said to him, "Ok, now you go and be nice to someone else because I just did something nice for you, and you gotta go pay it forward." The guy was like, " I am really nice. I volunteer at this place not too far from here..." And she said, cutting off his pathetically nice defensiveness, "Yeah well you should do nice things for someone, cause that's what I just did for you..."

Psycho!

Seriously, where do these people come from?
