It's that time again! I know half of you are still walking off the hotdogs and beer you drank, and half of you are wondering why the internet went out to lunch without telling you, and the other half of you are thinking "this girl really sucks at math", but what better way to get back at 'er than with some random thoughts? I'll even be happy if they're about hotdogs and beer.
No, really.
So you know what to do - grab that button, blurt out whatever's on your mind, and link up with Mr. Linky! Let's begin!
I know I said I'd never post about my uterus again, but this isn't a WHOLE post about it so it doesn't count. Anyway, my bloodwork came back and it "indicates that I am heading into early menopause". Oh. My doctor wants to do an ultrasound to rule out any other causes like (fun!) a cyst, because, as she told me repeatedly, "you're very young for this".
I think that's where the "early" part comes in, doc.
I'm trying not to let it get me down, I could still get pregnant. FoN told me that there's apparently a test they can do to see how many eggs I have left. At least...according to Grey's Anatomy, there is. I'm pretty sure that's sound medical advice, right there.
On a totally unrelated note, I bet this organic veggie-fruit juice that hubby bought for the detox/cleanse would taste REALLY good with vodka.
Why, why do people insist on sending me multiple faxes encouraging me to 'go green' with refillable toners & inks? Am I allowed to spam-fax them back telling them how many trees they just murdered in their 'green' ambition?
I didn't notice that we were out of formula until it was time to put my son to bed, and therefore too late to drag him to the store to buy more. So he got a bottle of (watered down) juice instead. Parenting FAIL. But hey, it was an organic veggie-fruit blend.
(There may or may not have been vodka in it).
Today the 'call-in' topic on the radio on my way home from work was "Do you have a problem with the man in a relationship making more than the woman?".
Um - seriously? I almost slammed on the brakes because clearly the DeLorean was approaching 88 miles an hour. This is still 2009, right?
Then I put my own head through the windshield and gouged my eyes out in anguish because some squeaky-voiced prepubescent girl phoned in to offer her sage opinion: "Um, I guess I'm old-fashioned but, um, I think it's like, okay if the girl makes some money but she shouldn't make as much as the man".
Fuck me. REALLY? Have fun slinging burgers for the rest of YOUR life, sweetie. Jeebus.
Although yesterday, the call-in topic was "Who do you think Archie will ask to marry him, Betty or Veronica?". Obviously I need a different radio station.
Or a strategically placed bomb.
You know how sometimes it's too soon to shave your pits again but they feel kind of furry so you want to, but you know if you do you'll get razor burn and they'll be itchy?
Yes, I have angst about shaving my armpits. Shut up.
Anyway, I chose the wrong path. Itchy.
Saw the new Star Trek on a date (!) with hubby last week. It was awesome. Why do all the best ones seem to involve time travel somehow?
Oh, no, wait. There was the one with the whales. Never mind.
And that's a wrap, people! Good job, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning!
Okay, I won't. I'd make a terrible Dread Pirate Roberts. But I'm an excellent host...so let's get this party started!
EDIT - Frikkin Frakkin grumble grumble RAAAWWWWWRRRRRRR FUCKING MR. LINKEEEEEEEE! So sorry, folks. Hopefully he comes back, but til then do what you resourceful others have been doing and leave your link in the comments.
Bah.
87 people talked back :
I think you would make an awesome Dread Pirate Roberts, but just watch out for the ROUS.
Oh and I think Mr. Linky is missing. Here is my RTT for the week
http://3bedroombungalow.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts-my-heathen-kids.html
Happy RTT.
Goodmorning, nope not first, I see Kat is up and writing away. It's only 650 in the Am here in my world.
Now yes there is a test to see how many eggs you have left, but it's not like the number of eggs it's more like the measure of the hormones that you have. It's the same test they used to tellyou you were in early menopause. FSH or FHS I think.
From pit shaving to Star Trek, that is pretty random! I still have not seen Star Trek yet, I need to go!
*snicker* I made my 14-year-old watch The Princess Bride, and sheesh, he bitched and moaned about watching a movie with the words "princess" and "bride" in the title. When it was over, he was like, "Gee, that's one of the best movies I've ever seen."
If it happens that you are perimenopausal, yes, you can still get pregnant. But you can also come hang out over at my blog - I have a more or less on-going pity party about it. Miserly loves company - and serves wine and snacks, too.
Mr. Linky is in absentia, so here's my post for the week:
http://www.jbsitedesigns.com/?p=3662
Oops - that last one should be me; it goes to a long defunct blog.
Nice random thoughts today! I have the same problem with the arm pits, especially in the summer when people will actually see them. I don't know which one is worse, the bright red, itchy rash or fuzzy.
So Tuesday and so random I just don't know where to comment.
And Greys Anatomy, eh, I'd trust House though.
Easily one of the best Princess Bride references ever on a blog...NICE!
Definitely time for a radio station change.
And Archie would totally ask Veronica to marry him, she would say (Archie is too broke) and then he would ask Betty a few years later.
And the whale trek movie - best ever.
Good to know that radio is taking on those difficult social issues.
. . . there is a test - FSH - it will check your ovarian reserve . . . BUT that is only the beginning . . . there are so many others tests after that!
No linky yet??
http://www.tiarastantrums.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-tantrums.html
Mr. Linky!! Where fore art thou, Mr. Linky?
I'm old old fashioned, I think a man should make all the money and I should sit home cleaning up puke and fending off angry children with a broom stick. Well...at least that's the way it worked out. Do people still actually read Archie comics?
I'm playing along. Linky needs to check his priorities, where the hell is he?
http://outnumberedtwotoone.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/what-terror-awaits-and-random-tuesday-thoughts/
I call bullshit on the early menopause. They told me that last year as well. I think it's the new diagnosis of choice.
They all get together and go to this bullshit convention, and are given a glossary of diagnosis for the year, for symptoms they can't solve, so they can all be on the same page and seem like they know what they're doing.
Itchy armpits, DeLoreans, Dread Pirate, watered down juice, detox cleanse tonic w/vodka. And slinging burgers?! Love it all!
I'm not going to say it, I'm not going to say it, I'm not going to say it.....ummmmm, No Linky? Oh well, maybe it's in some kind of cyberspace timewarp. Damn Mr Linky!
You knocked us dead with another great RTT!
Yay for date night. Sorry about your uterus but I think the Grey's Anatomy story is right and you can count how many scrambled eggs you have left so hopefully you're good.
I've done the out of formula thing close to bedtime and I gave my kid milk. Then she didn't puke and loved it so we switched her over to organic milk at 10 months vs the required one year. She's the second kid anyway so she's fine..
Here's my linkety link: http://halfasgoodasyou.com/?p=4931
I hate Mr Linky, he's a jerk and we're not currently talking.
i think linky is missing..since its been two weeks since i have written in my blog..i will bite today since i have some random thoughts.
as for your uterus, email me and give me some background, i may have some natural advice for you or direct you to a specific type of massage therapist in your area that works with these kinds of things.
Whaaa....poor Mr L...he's been so sick lately.
I'm with ya on the premenopausal stuff.
http://iamharriet.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts-about-twitter.html
I know exactly what you mean about the pit-shaving. There is nothing more satisfying than shaving an armpit full of appropriately long hair and avoiding ingrown hairs. Or razor burn. Magical.
Could you kill me before 11? I have a meeting I'm not looking forward to. Thanks!
I got the same diagnoses when I was 38; it took 10 years before I was finally done.
Change the radio station fast. Those topics are bullshit.
Are they recommending formula after a year now? So the pediatricians have been kissing the formula makers asses.
Mr. Linky needs to get his poop in a group. Heh heh.
http://piecemealpeople.blogspot.com/2009/05/rtt-two-weeks-worth-arent-you-lucky.html
I went through menopause once at 18 and once at 24 and it's a BITCH. Good luck with that one, and keep us posted.
I can't get Mr. Linky to work right. He breaks my heart.
I, too, have armpit angst. Leg angst, too.
Sorry about the uterine biz. I feel as though my words are encouraging since they involve peppy slang. Also, I would have called in to that radio station to chew that DJ's ass. PLEASE. DON'T PROCREATE.
I miss Mr. Linky. boo hooo
Anywhoo...here's my randomness for the day:
http://deliadean.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts_26.html
I've never had that problem with my pits. Also, I'm more than happy to make less than my wife. In fact, I'm perfectly willing to let her make so much more than me that I can stay at home and look after the kids permanently.
I hit early menopause at 29. Sucks.
I have friends who easily got pregnant while they were perimenopausal... when they were in their 40's.
Archie better ask Betty. That's all I'm sayin'. Veronica is a slut. Seriously. And a total bitch.
Yeah, that's all I got today. I'm off a day and didn't even think about Random Tuesday Thoughts. You're sure it's not Monday?
early menopause? well, here hoping for a cyst.
Mr. Linky has been having some major issues the last week or so, hasn't he?
WooHoo! You got a date night! Sorry about your potential perimenopausal issues... You ROCK with the Princess Bride reference... Itchy armpits are not fun... As usual, your Randomness is stellar...too bad Mr. Linky is not playing nice! :)
Here's my post:
http://stacysrandomthoughts.blogspot.com/2009/05/babbling-random-tuesday-thoughts.html
I just use my electric razor on the pits. They never itch. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
http://www.mylifewiththem.com/2009/05/rtt.html
That was funny. I hope you are not going through menopause. I don't think I am ready for that for another 20 years. Maybe there really is a test to see how many eggs you have left. That would be pretty cool.
I agree you would make a great Dread Pirate Roberts.
I'm pretty sure there is a test to determine the amount of eggs you have left.

Our fax gets clogged up too all the time with Random sales stuff!
Happy RTT & Mine's posted too!
Mama Mentor - Boston Harbor - Connecticut Daytrip and Whoopie Pies
down here where we wear close to nothing ten months out of the year, waxing is a popular option.
if you start waxing now - and with global warming - you'll be ahead of the trend by like five years, right?
I actually HAVE sent faxes back with big, permanent marker words saying STOP FUCKING SENDING THIS SHIT! It worked.
Everything in Grey's Anatomy is fact of life so go get tested ASAP and about the juice, I guess I a little Vodka is better than the standard Benadryl Cuban families use to put the little ones to sleep!
Uterus posts welcome, whole or partial.
Happy RTT!
http://gigidiaz.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/insert-title-here/
Shaving angst, oh you poor thing! Can't wait to see the new Star Trek and I'm not even a fan. If you're on your computer and looking for a great morning radio station, you can listen online. www.x96.com I've been listening to them for about 14 years now! I'll write my RTT shortly and link it up!
Mine is up! http://lotsoflaundry.blogspot.com/
I have the problem of forgetting to shave...until my nearly 1.5 yo decides its fun to feel the fuzz while she nurses...oops.
My next door neighbor is dealing with the perimenopause thing...I would hate to be dealing with that. Bastard hormones.
Happy RTT :)
http://www.thecouponcoup.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts.html
Mr. Linky not working again? Oh well, mine's hereGrey's Anatomy IS very credible when giving out medical advice.. LOL
Hmm, any chance your into early menopause cause of the detox diet you're in??
I would love a vodka right about now..
I haven't seen Star Trek, I'm told it was awesome even if you're not a trekkie.
Awesome post Keely! :) you made me LOL on some parts.. :)
Have you tried waxing your pits? It hurts the first time but then you get used to it and it's not itchy and it takes longer for the hair to grow back.. :)
happy Tuesday! oh, just in case, here's my RTT:
http://linkbee.com/RTTjsblogger
I love these - hilarious!
This is my first time participating - I don't see the Linky though...am I missing something?
Thanks

i loved star trek (or as the lady on my morning show would say, star track)! my RTT is up, although not quite as amusing as yours (as usual).
Great randomness! I think Archie will go for Veronica, he wants the money, unless he is all about the woman making less.........
http://dwolfs.blogspot.com/
Archie's after Betty!
My RTT is up:
http://inside-my-head.com/index.php/blog-memes/1246/random-tuesday-thoughts-4
Mark has been watching House since the beginning and he thinks that makes him some sort of a doctor. I think all you need anymore are three seasons of whatever medical drama you prefer and it qualifies you to wear a stethoscope. Seriously.
Here's my link!

Oh, and if you're going to send something after me, I prefer flying monkeys.
Oops, SORRY! I posted a bad link. Here it is...
http://myacuprunnethover.typepad.com/my_a_cup_runneth_over/2009/05/apparently-the-coal-miners-daughter-was-sort-of-a-slut.html
Oh, and about the pre-menipaws thing... Get a 2nd opinion before you do anything, especially stress. A diagnosis that serious (even if the dr says do nothing about it) deserves a little more thought.
Men should make more than woman. And stay at home moms bake cookies all day while they clean. And have an affairs with the pool boy. Right? Isn't that the way things go?
had blood tests to confirm my early menopausal symptoms....also, my mom began it early... but my Gyno told me I still have several good years in me for baby makin.
Good luck and loved the RTT!
http://www.bassackwardsandfrugal.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts-basically.html
AND i posted a totally boring random post that no one should read. don't do it, you will hate yourself afterward.
http://griggboys.blogspot.com/2009/05/rtt-what-i-am-doing-at-my-computer.html
I LOVE the Princess bride reference. And as for the one with the whales, that's the only one anyone I know can seem to remember. Kind of sad.
Yeah, I'd say that Mr. Linky had the bottle of organic juice WITH the vodka, and is still passed out on the front porch.
Definitely need a new radio station. Archie? Seriously? They have nothing else to talk about?
I'm sorry to hear the bloodwork report. Stranger things have happened, and there's always a greater plan for us.. right? Plus you'd rather puke from all the vodka, probably.
I did my RTT this week!!!
*beaming with pride*
Here is mine this week!:
http://eightymphmom.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts.html
Thanks!
i hate armpit drama - i had a major rash which i thought was razor burn but i think was actually heat rash. ugh.
http://onescrappychick.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday_26.html
What did we ever do to Mr. Linky?! What a jerk!
http://www.mssalti.blogspot.com
Loved the new Star Trek too. Although, I always manage to see movies with traumatizing birth scenes while I'm pregnant. I just can't escape them.
Here's the linky: http://summerdoyle.blogspot.com/
awesome. thanks! i am totally going to try to link up with my random thoughts. i hope it works. now i'm a follower, too. you're great!
Vodka makes everything better.
At least this week!
http://thedailysnark.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/random-tuesday-crap/
Proven fact: vodka gets you pregnant. I think there's more to it, but somehow vodka and pregnant are intertwined.
Happy RTT!
Yep, definitely need a new radio station. Or, if you opt for the bomb let me know - I've got a few to add in. lol My RTT
I can't wait to see the new Star Trek movie!
I participated as well this week. Hopefully Mr Linky is working again soon!
That linky bastard!!
I hope you put that damn Mr. Linky in his place! I linked up too!
I'm in!
And I had a Parent FAIL when my baby was just under three months old and I had no formula anywhere...on Christmas. At 8pm.
Oops.
We had to drive all around the area we were in to find a place open. It gave us something to do post-dinner right??
I always want to put rum in every fruity drink I see. Otherwise they seem so plain to me. I am glad I am not the only one.
amy sprite sent me over here... so glad she did... thanks for the laugh!
I hear you on the pits. Why, why do we do it?
(and bad Mr. Linky, bad!)
http://confessions-of-a-psychotic-housewife.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts.html
Yeah, I have to agree. You'd make a much better Princess Buttercup (who can travel through time) than Dread Pirate Roberts. ;)
I just signed up for my first ever Random Tuesday thoughts.... LOVE IT! I found it through 3 Bedroom Bungalow and Us & Them .....
http://bitchinwivesclub.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-roundup-nyc-edition.html
I think Archie is going to ask Betty.
I loved the Star Trek movie too. I never saw Star Trek before that movie and I loved it.
Here's my RTT: http://melidworld.com/?p=992
you'd make an excellent dread pirate roberts. it's all about the name. no one would surrender to the dread pirate keely :) (i love that movie)
what's with mr. linky lately? he's really slacking off on the job!
http://whatihavetosay2day.blogspot.com
wellll, I'm not so into Star Trek, but I sure am into Chris Pines. I've been anticipating that movie more eagerly than andy Trekkie, and I haven't gotten to see it yet. Dang toddlers.
Since I the Venus 5 blade razors came out, my armpit problems have been a thing of the past. Every day, every other day, every 5 days, twice a day? No itchiness here. Ahhhh. Sadly I will not be rewarded for my plug with freebies, which is sad because I'm almost out.
Randomness: http://theramblingsofrachel.blogspot.com/2009/05/rtt-tuesday-that-feels-like-monday.html
Doing Random Tuesday thoughts for the 1st time.. (even though it is Wed here now)
here's my post http://astromama.wordpress.com/2009/05/27/sounding-out-ideas/
LOL you could do what I had a nurse tell me to do one time when I was way pregnant in the summer time and in labor and was worried about the hair on my legs etc.... she said do what the europeans do and flaunt it. Have no idea what this means but at times I think about it when I have to shave my legs and have no time
here is my random thought post for this week http://shopannies.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-thoughts-for-tuesday-may-26.html
Itchy pits are the worst!
Here's my random thoughts:

My wife had beer, I had Diet Coke, the girls had hotdogs up at the lake. No running water up there for shaving, though.
Memorial Day random thoughts at http://elvis-sightings.blogspot.com/2009/05/random-tuesday-thoughts_26.html

ps - the spacing/editing on my blog is making me crazy. please ignore my weird spacing issues.

Happy Tuesday :)

Mr. Linky has been stupid for two days! Grr!
My post is at http://www.my-junk-drawer.com/2009/05/matching-socks-my-ponynub-and-more.html.
If you use a sharp razor you can shave your pits every day. I do it all the time! Yours must have chunks out of it.
I was a stupid mom and gave my son juice all the time when he was little - he's still alive and graduates next week. It's all good!
Been keeping My Linky out too late at night? Maybe he's just on extended holiday.
Lovin the random
I freakin' LOVE your randomness. My favorite posts are the ones that say "fuck". And "vodka".
Oh, and "uterus".
