What time is it, kids?
Why, it's time for Random Tuesday Thoughts!
What does that mean, kids?
It means y'all get out your number 2 pencils, scribble down some incohesive thoughts on a cocktail napkin, and then turn them into a post! And then add the fugly purple button, and leave the link to your post in a comment so we can all check you out!
(No, I haven't forgiven Mr. Linky yet. Maybe next week).
Ready? Randomize!
Anybody else get really squirrelly when they're hungry? Do you ever skip a meal and think, "Omg, I'm going to be SO crabby later," and then later you're all, "GAH everybody is SO STUPID and I am SO IRRITATED and IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M HUNGRY SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!". And then you eat a huge meal and you're still crabby as shit so you feel vindicated. Like, "See? It wasn't because I was hungry, everybody really IS super irritating!"?
No, I'm not cranky. That isn't the POINT. Shut UP.
I'm reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Some
Yeah. Sure they are.
Anyway, no nightmares so far. It's kind of a silly read, and there's some humor to it ("The creatures were crawling on their hands and knees, biting into ripe heads of cauliflower, which they had mistaken for stray brains"), so it's not completely terrifying. It reminds me of Shaun of the Dead, which I foolishly saw in the theatre, and wasn't scared a bit until 3/4 of the way through when the zombies pulled some dude through a window and ripped his stomach open. Then I was all, "Oh holy shit this is a ZOMBIE movie!!".
No zombie nightmares since reading the book, but I had a doozy a few days before. I was standing in a graveyard on the edge of a swamp. Someone came up behind me and I just about took their head off. (Because apparently I have swapped my terrified attempts to barricade windows for uber zombie-slayerness. )
It turned out to be my mother. Alive.
I was ecstatic to see her but suddenly realized we were surrounded. I could only leave the way I came, over the swamp in a skiff, but I couldn't put two people in it without capsizing it (and leaving us both prey for zombies above and below). So I had to leave my Mom in a graveyard, up a tree, surrounded by zombies.
(Oedipus had fewer issues than me, apparently).
I rushed the skiff back to base camp, which was an adobe fortress built into a hill, and pounded on the door. Guess who let me in?
Casey.
We took the 50s-style pickup truck/tow truck overland back to rescue my Mom. I'm going to assume we got there in time, because that's when I woke up.
(Sorry, Mom).
I have an ultrasound tomorrow for no happy reason (it's to eliminate any potential weirdness/cysts that might be causing my premature
Which would probably be tolerable if they were on time.
Magic 8-Ball says, ALL SIGNS POINT TO NO.
I wonder if it needs to be water? I bet drinking a litre of wine an hour before would make it a lot more fun. Or vomituous. Either way.
The Inaugural Run for our relay marathon training didn't happen today, either. Yes, it was pouring rain all day, but our Fearless Leader Trainer Lady was incommunicado, too.
That can't be a good sign, can it? If the trainer doesn't feel like training? I'm kind of getting that 'doomy' feeling about this whole project.
And, y'know, I could work out on my own, but I'm busy writing for YOUR amusement. You'd think you guys would be more grateful.
(Pouts fetchingly).
What's that? You are grateful? Prove it, then - grab the button, write your RTT post, and leave your link in the comments! Happy Tuesday!

I hate those ultrasounds! They always make you drink a gallon of water and then make you wait a little bit longer than they should. Then they want to push on your stomach? I wonder how many women have pee'd when they've done that! Good luck

Good luck with the ultrasound. I hope everything looks healthy.
And I have wierd dreams and mom issues too. Just not about zombies.
I'm going to do a RTT post, but I'm a huge slacker and haven't gotten there yet.
i'm glad that you work out for our amusement. it makes for much better stories :)
what's with mr. linky slacking off on the job again?
http://whatihavetosay2day.blogspot.com
My husband knows that when I start to get crabby, he better get some food into me. And a real meal, too...none of this snack food!
I've spend many times waiting in the waiting room with my legs crossed. I used to have "uterus issues" (is that TMI for a comment?) and so had a lot of ultrasounds for no happy reasons. Good luck!
Here's my RTT:

Hi! I have just done my FIRST Random Tuesday Thoughts post!! Woohoo!
Good luck with your ultrasound!
http://crunchiemummy.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/my-virgin-random-tuesday-thoughts-post/
I pull that not eating/psycho bitch routine all the time but it turns out I'm just a huge bitch. No surprise there.
I would totally save you in the zombie apocalypse, you picked the right "dream a friend". I'd save your mom too just cause you know, YOUR MOM! Sorry, I have to use a good "your mom" joke when it comes to me.
Do you think Trainer Lady threw out her back doing some Tae Bo moves in the shower and then drowned? I think maybe you should call someone about her...
I think your obsession with Zombies may be bordering on unhealthy. If it were me I would consider professional help. Just sayin'. My randomness is a lot less fun, but here ya go.
http://left-field-missy.blogspot.com/
The zombies thing was funny but now you're just freaking me out.
Good luck tomorrow. I hope everything turns out okay.
My random is here:
http://bloggingmama-andrea.blogspot.com/2009/06/random-tuesday-more-random-better.html
I like the way your un-friends wrote in the book for you. Hilaroius!!
Good luck with the ultrasound.... hope you don't speeze. You'll understand that AFTER you read my post...
http://www.bassackwardsandfrugal.com/2009/06/random-tuesday-thoughts-random-random.html
I totally think you should show up drunk for your ultrasound. Then lay on the waiting room floor and keep chanting about how you have to pee...I promise you'll get right in and out of there!
It's like we're soul sisters. I just had my ultrasound yesterday for something similar. That probe was the most action I've seen in hours. That's why I've been moody. Email me and let me know how it goes.
http://www.momspective.com/random-ryan-er-tuesday-thoughts/
Its bad enough when you have the drink that much, but them being late too? I would pee on someone.
http://lifeandtimesofawickedstepmom.com/2009/06/09/random-tuesday-thoughts-thems-fighting-words/
Good luck with the ultrasound! I hope they find something easily fixable. I like Jenni Jiggety's thoughts. If you show up drunk, you will probably move to the head of the line. Especially if you start to hit on the ladies in the waiting room.
http://smalltownmommy.com/?p=664
What is this 'litre' you speak of? Is it some sort of unit of measurement?
Oooo. . . .wine to an U/S! Mucho fun potential there.
http://followinginmyshoes.blogspot.com
Good luck with the ultrasound - I had to have one where they told me to drink a gazillion gallons of water before coming in...and after the interminable wait, was told to 'empty my bladder' before the ultrasound...I was a little miffed to say the least. ;)
Here's my Randomness a little later than usual:

Every time I see anything about zombies, I think of you and Mrs. Bear from Outnumbered. You WANTED that, didn't you?
Good luck with the ultrasound!
http://www.spriteskeeper.com/my_weblog/2009/06/rtt-when-life-throws-you-mondays-hit-back-with-tuesdays.html
The ultrasound technician told me that you really don't have to drink as much water as you think you do. They don't need that much water in your bladder to see whatever they need to see anyhow.
Regardless, good luck with all of that (and with the zombies).

I found your blog last week and I love it. So today I noticed it was Random Tuesday and decided to shoot the moon and try it out. I'm not usually part of the group... it feels so SPESHUL!
My First Random Tuesday Post!
Random Tuesday is back with a vengeance at
Resplendent Life
Keely, that was one wild dream.
As for the ultrasound, at least all you had to drink was water. What about those tests where you have to drink those disgusting sugary drinks or worse what you have to drink before certain scans. UGH!!!
So....would you like some more dream interpretation? :)
Random Tuesday Thoughts
I had to have a bladder full ultrasound when i was 13 for cysts. I swear I almost peed everywhere. I wonder if people have done that? not everyone can hold it.

Hello Un mom! Im Bobby G over at www.bobbygspot.org Im grabbin your button! Not to be confused with grabbin your butt...thank you!
Hello,
Good luck with the U/S.
Thank you for the posting.
More RTT...
http://squeelsthecheeseassassin.blogspot.com/
I'd have to say that if the Trainer Lady is making herself unreachable, that could be a bad sign.
Or a good sign, depending on your perspective that particular day. For me, it would be a good sign.
http://piecemealpeople.blogspot.com/2009/06/rtt-somethings-wrong-with-shark-cereal.html
I vote drink a liter of vodka.
Random Thoughts: I Forget Things and Hate Exclamation Points
Know that I totally support you and your zombie fetish (from another zombie fanatic).
And you might want to wear some Depends for that ultra sound. You know, just in case! Heh heh
Drinking a liter of wine before you go for your test is hilarious. You could even drink 2 liters and tell the nurses that you were a good student because you did twice what was asked.
I forgot my link.

I might have left my mother in the tree as well, but only because she irritates the heck out of me. I'd probably have gone back...eventually.
Your running leader abandoning you kind of seems like a bad sign...but given the weather, it's understandable. Although, one more no-show and maybe someone not naming names...should take her place. hinthint

My randomness...
http://journey2learn.homeschoollinked.com/?p=315
Hmmmm...the trainer not feeling like training is NOT a good sign. Hopefully she'll snap out of it!
Good luck with all that ultrasound stuff. Guzzling water is the worst because then it feels like your bladder may burst. Without warning.
Your zombie story scares me.
Click my face for my linky!
Ahhhh....vomituous!! I've not heard anyone else use that word and now I am feeling happy.
Sorry about the US..and the cysts and the drinking (water, not wine)...
Here's my linky loo...

Your dream was creepy! And cool.
Good luck with the ultrasound. That is never pleasant. I hope you get some good news.
i have been debating about reading pride and prejudice and zombies. i dont' know how i would fare with scary zaombie dreams so i haven't made the jump yet. good luck with that.

Mr. Linky still not working??
Here's my RTT Keely! :)
http://linkbee.com/RTTByeTeenFT
Good luck with the ultrasound!! Think happy thoughts. Like of waterfalls, and raindrops on roses, and rainbows. :)
I had a dream that someone shot a gun near me and I fell to my knees with ear pain...and then I woke up, and had ear pain!! In real life!! Sometimes my allergies are too much and I have a congested ear, causing pain at random times. It's never been associated with my dream before...
The button is so not fugly, I happen to like it! :)
I always wanted to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but I can't find a copy of it anywhere here!
I loved Shaun of the Dead, I own the dvd! :D LOL
Awesome dream! :D
Happy Tuesday Keely, you ARE my hero! :)
That book sounds awesome, I read the other one he wrote "How to Survive a Horror Movie" (good read for any huge horror movie fans). Good luck with your ultrasound, I have PCOS and have been through a ton of them- they generally suck.
www.shaynjayracing.blogspot.com
Holy posts, bat boy. I hate to say it, but I liked Mr Linkey. He made it easier to surf the snark...
And low blood sugar sucks. Best to keep a Snickers bar close at hand and avoid it.
Anywhoodle, here's the post:

Yeah...kinda squirrely here when I'm hungry. I hate skipping a meal.
Here is my first random post
I'm totally grateful!

I always gripe at my hubby for skipping meals and getting cranky, but then I do it all the time and it should be perfectly ok :)
http://iheartmychaoticlife.blogspot.com/2009/06/randomness-and-stuff.html
LOL at the zombie book. DH is obsessed with zombies, so I have seen Shaun of the Dead way more than I care for.
I spotted a magic 8 ball at the thrift store last week and asked it if we were cursed. It said yes. Sigh!
http://confessions-of-a-psychotic-housewife.blogspot.com/2009/06/random-thoughts-tuesday.html
Yeah.... I don't know what's going on... I'm starving myself and the only nutritional options I have right now is eating one of these kids in my summer camp... I don't know if that's good for business... But it still sounds good...
Eh.

Random Tuesday Comment:
I caught David Duchovney last night on Conan and while he looked really attractive I thought his anecdotes about Dr. Wang and his kid's penis were inappropriate in light of his recent trip to rehb for sex addiction.
I almost peed on the exam table during one of THOSE ultrasounds. The tech kept pushing on my bladder and I kept yelling "I'm gonna peee!"
make sure they use a condom with the untrasound. Been there done that. totally odd...

I did the not eating thing today in addition to my first day of the EA Sports Challenge thing (which I"m fairly sure I'm going to fail). Husband walks in mid work out when I am in the most RIDICULOUS position and makes snarky comment. At which point I told him a dozen different ways I'd like to use him as a punching bag if he didn't stfu. Daughter heard, and upon learning Daddy had nuts (that mommy wanted to hurt at the moment) immediately asked what flavor they are. AWESOME.
I'd totally want Casey around in case of zombie attack.
Happy RTT!

Kaylen....afraid what could happen if Keely thought about waterfalls and raindrops after drinking a litre...but happy thoughts would be good.
I didn't do rtt this week cuz I think my rambling seemed to organized.. what cha think?

wow! wow! that dream was intense. i am about to start reading the same book. i have been waiting for it from the library for 5 months. clearly, my library needs more copies - of everything, all holds end up as a long wait.
http://griggboys.blogspot.com/2009/06/rtt-picture-pages.html
The only thing worse than the excessive water drinking for those ultrasounds is fighting the urge to not pee yourself while they're pushing that probe all over your bladder while doing said ultrasound!!! Don't pee yourself!! www.brainofamommy.blogspot.com
I'm grateful!!
(Grateful I'm not going in for one of those nasty ultrasounds...heehee)
I love those Zombie movies! The more gore the better! Also, I noticed that alot of women bloggers are gearing up to run marathons, did I mention that I don't run? LOL!
I had to have one of those trans-vag ultrasounds because I was spotting WHILE PREGO. That was torture. I was had to pee so bad that while I waddled my way over to the radiology department I had to either stop and let some out in the bathroom or on the floor. I chose the bathroom, but thinking back, if I'd chosen the floor I would've been able to leave work early! Oh well.
I know the feeling of being crabby and hungry but I always realize it was because of the hunger after I eat because then I'm all happy and giddy.
http://www.modernmommyblog.com/index.php/2009/06/09/random-tuesday-thoughts-asu/
I always enjoy hearing you talk about zombies. Even if I still sometimes have nightmares related to view the re-make of Dawn of the Dead 4 years ago. You don't give me nightmares. Thank you!

I am so glad that you work out for our amusement.
Here's my RTT: http://melidworld.com/?p=1021
I'm so glad I'm done with the "make sure your bladder is full" business. Its so nice to go over 15 minutes without having to pee!
http://sarcasminaskirt.blogspot.com/
Good luck with the ultrasound. Hope all turns out well.
My post is linked to my name. Take pity on me and read it. And then please leave some helpful bloggers block busting comments.
You and Mr. Linky are still going at it, huh?! I'm glad your sticking to your guns & not forgiving him until you're ready!! They make you drink a liter before your ultrasound!? That would be awful! I would have to pee the whole time!! lol
Heres my post for the week:
http://patrice0x0x.blogspot.com/2009/06/rtt-good-bad-ugly.html
Thanks for making me laugh AGAIN (as usual). I was reminded of my ultrasounds and nearly peeing on the technician! HA serves 'em right.
I was kinda wondering about that book... thought I might pick it up at the library but now I'm not so sure.
Here's my effort for this week's RTT.
http://www.mothermusing.com/?p=2286
Ciao
Okay! I love this post!
Mine is up, but it kinda sucks. There is a lot of talk about dog feces.
Your posts are terrific. I needed this today!!!! Thanks
Good luck on your U/S. And please pee all over them...they deserve it.
Hugs

Thank you for providing me with an excuse to write utter nonsense for one day. Your writing is fabulous..I laughed my guts out.
Have a great day..can hardly wait to read more.
Heres my late link-http://justanotherhofeling.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-late-random-tuesday-thoughts.html
You are the queen of random, love it. Good luck with the ultrasound. I love it when they make you hold it for an hour in the waiting room, take one gander and say "could you empty your bladder, please?" GAH.
Yikes. It's never good when the marathon trainer doesn't feel like training on said day. Hmmm...
Hope the ultrasound goes well!
** I bought that book!!! I waiting to read it after i finish Pride and Prejudice withOUT zombies!
No spoilers please!
