I can't even tie these together with a title, but there's a gift, if you like boots: Random Creepday Thoughts

randomtuesday


I am hereby renaming Tuesdays "Creepdays", because they keep creeping up on me. So you know what time it is, right? It's time for Random Creepday Thoughts!

Um...which is the bloggy thing formerly known as Random TUESDAY Thoughts.

Anyway, if you're not familiar, where the hell have you been? And did you pick up the vodka I asked for?

Random Tuesday, I mean Creepday, Thoughts work like this: You have some random thoughts. You type them out. You grab the button, slap it on your post to make it seem like you MEANT to do that, and leave us a link so we can all join in your confusion!

I've softened somewhat and I'm trying to work things out with Mr. Linky. So in case he's discombobulated or absent, leave your link in the comments too.

That about cover it? Okay, I'll go first:

I woke up this morning with my hand down my pants. Um...what the hell? Did I turn into a dude overnight? Is there some subconscious concern that my lady bits might get up and leave me?

Even I wonder what the fuck goes on in my head sometimes.

Yesterday I had brunch with some girlfriends. We do it once a month - everybody brings something and we gossip and chat and chow down. (This month I made mojitos, in case anybody is wondering. What? I planted a herb garden for a reason). I wish someone had taken notes from our first brunch dates, which were like 6 years ago. Then we could compare what we talked about then to what we talk about now.

You know, in case we need another method to help us feel old.

Someone from Whooga.com contacted me to offer you guys a $30 gift card to spend on their website. All you have to do is enter the code UNMOMX30 into the promo box at the cart.

I shit you not. I'm now a discount code.

Whoogas are like Uggs, in case you're too lazy to click over. They look soooo comfy but personally, I can't pull off the look. Sheepskin boots with a skirt is never going to make me look anything but fucking ridiculous, but maybe one of you can manage to make it look 'quirky' or 'romantic'? Probably someone skinny?

Don't look at these before you go to bed. Or if you are still getting over some childhood fears. Or if you have children and don't remember how vivid and bizarre their imaginations can be. Or if you pride yourself on being 'normal' (in which case, get the fuck off my blog please) or are easily shocked, scared, or offended. Also, you probably shouldn't read the comments if you like the images, or if you really don't like the images, or if stupid and illiterate people offend you.

You know what? Just forget I ever said anything.

I just noticed this is my 200th post. Um, yay? I actually didn't think I'd hold it together this long. Sure, the rest of my life is falling apart and we've resorted to buying new clothes rather than tackle the mountain of laundry, but hey - MY BLOG MADE IT TO 200 POSTS!

This post from Michelle has had me thinking all day about how quickly information travels now. Do you ever watch old movies or tv shows and think, "This wouldn't be a problem if they had a cel phone". Or do you ever read historical novels and want to scream, "FOR THE LUVVA BLOG, WOMAN, JUST CHECK THE INTERNET!!".

No? Me neither.

Hubby has his own blog.

Yeah, that one's just standalone. I didn't ask for permission to direct you all there, and it's mostly comic stuff anyway (I can hear you yawning from HERE). But he just announced it a few days ago and I'm still a little blown away.

So on that note - it's your turn! Snag that button, get all random, go buy some boots! Happy Creepday!

Whats wrong with waking up with your hands in your pants? Everyone needs a hobby! LOL!

Blogging Mama Andrea said...

I'm sorry you crack me up so much that I am simply a broken shell on Tuesdays. Seriously. I can't come over here and not laugh.

And yes, I do think that way when I read books or something from pre-internet days. I'm thinking - Morons! Just look it up!

I'm also jealous. I wanna be a discount code...

Happy 200! Here's to 200 more.

Kat said...

OMG those are the most effed up pics of childhood fears! I was gonna take a nap today but not now!!

Casey said...

Woah, Mr. Creepday has his own blog and you didn't link us? Not fair.

I can't believe you're a discount code. The most I'd ever amount to is a losing soda bottle cap code. You rock.

I'm glad you kissed and made up with Mr. Linkster. You guys need each other.

Jan said...

I was perfectly okay with the "childhood fears" link until you got to the part about stupid, illiterate people. Sorry, I can't do that.

The pics were interesting, though.

Congrats on the 200 posts.

Bobby G said...

I woke up w/ my hand down my pants today to, but thats how I roll! lol Also...Hate Uggs or any thing resembling them!

I am Harriet said...

Happy Creepday to you too.
Glad to see your Linky is back in action.

Leigh said...

Al Bundy (Married with Children)... Need I say more?

Now, I'll be singing that crappy tune all day!

Laufa said...

Happy 200!!
Yes Hubby's can usually stand alone, glad he's man enough to speak his mind too.

Missy said...

Total great randomness. I am so glad you didn't directly mention zombies this week. I was to chicken to click the link I shouldn't look at.

Ginny Marie said...

Mojitos with the girls? Sounds awesome! Let me know what to bring next time.
I'm a little chicken to look at your link, too, especially since my toddler is sitting on my lap. I'll have to check it out later, when I'm alone, which won't be until late tonight when everyone's in bed....maybe I won't go look!

Just_Aimee said...

Today definitely creeped up...have a good one.

Cara said...

Those pictures? Fit the Creepday theme perfectly. Happy 200, Keely,

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

Where's Mr. Creepday's link to his blog? We'd love to check him out...well, you know, not that way... ;)

Congrats on your 200th post and hitting the 'big' time by becoming a discount code! You ROCK! :)

Those were creepy pictures...good thing I looked at them before Princess Nagger entered the room - don't need her waking me up in the middle of the night with nightmares! :)

Happy RTT! :)

Ane Fallarme said...

Haha! I woke up one time with my hands in my pants too! I guess it was too cold or something! LOL

Sheepskin boots? Hmm.. lemme go check! :)

WTF was I thinking even looking at those pictures when I know all too well that I am easily scared! I am freakin scared now! I know, I'm such a sissy! LOL

Congrats on your 200th Post! Yay! :)

Ane Fallarme said...

I love Whooga.com's slogan.. "boots your feet will choose".. LOL Nah, sheepskin boots are not for me, it wouldn't fit in in this tropical climate we have..

Cameron said...

You asked for raspberry vodka, right?

Sadly, I couldn't even put together random thoughts today. Instead, I had one thought and ran with it. Think I've missed two RTT's in the last 3 months or so.

Anne said...

Wow, a discount code! You totally rock!

The Internet has definitely allowed news to travel faster. Living in the US, we don't get a lot of international news. The Internet has opened that up dramatically.

resplendentlife said...

Keely, you are one sick nutcase! Those pics are so freaking wild....but well-done.....but so sick....but artsy....aaagh!
Happy 200th!!!!

Julie@Momspective said...

I know, I just hit 250 posts and I was shocked that I noticed. I sailed past my 100th and felt bad because I'm always seeing celebrations. I'll check out the Hubs blog, I like comics.

Sprite's Keeper said...

I'm in! I can comment! I'm so excited, I just raised my arms in the air and shouted "Yes!". I'm at work... I need to explain myself now..

Design it Chic said...

oh those pictures.. they so give me goosebumps
And i know the feeling of rather buying new socks than wash them.. and only because.. the blog comes first:P oh i should move my lazy but and press the start button to that washing machine loaded up:)))..right away..or that can wait 5 more min:)
Happy Randomness!

Wicked Step Mom said...

That clown is going to scare me for the rest of the day.. so thanks for that! :P

Elisa said...

Wow, those pictures are awesome. And really creepy. I'm kind of wishing I hadn't looked at them.

Congrats on your 200th post, that's great!! I luuuurve your blog :-)

Jenni Jiggety said...

Happy 100th! My husband is not allowed to have a blog. I am afriad he'd be more popular than me and then I'd have to divorce him.

Mocha Dad said...

Welcome to the "Hand Down Your Pants" Club.

Brandy said...

I actually liked the weird child fear photos. they totally creeped me out but I like artsy unusual stuff.

glad to see you and mr linky made up. maybe that's what induced that hand pant problem.

kyooty said...

I see MrLinky is behaving better. While at the Dentist, I was watching some movie from the 70's, it had John Wayne in it and I was wondering where's his horse when a phone rang in a car! yep old looking rotary receiver in a car. They couldn't' make the words out so went to a house to call back.
We don't own a cellphone but kind of expect others to? I know I'm weird.

Otter Thomas said...

Makining Mojitos is the best reason I have ever heard to plant an herb garden. You could grow some veggies to make bloody mary's too.

Isabel Princes said...

OMG those pics are going to keep me awake tonight. I shouldn't have looked. I still get scared at night if the blinds aren't closed thinking a werewolf is going to pop up and get me.

ArtSnark said...

I thought it was creepday due to all the zombies that keep popping up around here!

So, if those kids in the pics are all PSed in they are going to need some serious therapy someday!

Reading The Hardy Boys books to my son. They were published in 1927. Most of the problems occur because no one owns a cell phone. My 5 yr old asked me why not & why didn't they just "google it?" Talk about feeling old !!

Melanie D said...

Happy 200th. Those pics are disturbing and awesome!!!! Glad I seen them in the am and not at night!

GreenJello said...

The smell of those leather Whoogas came right through the screen. But even with you as my discount code, they're waaaaayyy outta my budget range.

And I'd give 'em to the teen daughter. She can pull off the look, even in a skirt.

Shangrila said...

Hey, Happy Creepday and congrats on your 200th post! The childhood nightmare photos made me feel 5 again...and not in a good way-lol! Maybe your hand was in your pants in honor of creep day?

Lisa said...

The roach pic was SUPER creepy. Worst of them all...*gag* *gag again*

And I cannot pull off the boots either, let alone pay for them, so I'm doubly screwed. That's mah life for yah!

Jennifer said...

So I looked at the pictures, and all of the things I wasn't afraid of as a child, I'm now afraid of as an adult. Creepy!

Happy 200th!

Patrice said...

WHY did I click on the link to the creepy pictures!? WHY!?!!? Ahh I almost threw up! I was so freaked out! I'm pathetic, I know! At least it's nowhere near bed time, hopefully those images will be erased from my head by then. Doubt it!

Happy 200 posts, that's quite a milestone! Congratulations! Don't stop, I love your humor! lol

Mrsbear said...

Those photos were scary. I kinda liked them, I'd frame that first one, would make a photo album addition.

I'll pass on the sweaty boots, they're cute and all but in
South FL I'd look absolutely ridiculous wearing them, even in Winter and not just cause my legs are short either.

Happy 200! And a blogging husband...I don't know how I'd feel about that. ;)

Ms. Salti said...

I'm impressed about the hand-down-your-pants thing. And I love that Mr. Linky is back in a new package. I'm also impressed with myself that I got this done before Noon. I love that you're now a discount code. Do you think if I try it on another site it'll work?

Kekibird said...

Seriously LOLed at the hands down the pants. Have that happen all the time...or I mean, it happens to my BOYFRIEND all the time... not me, no way.

Kinda freaked out to check out that link about child fear and photography but my curiosity is killing me...anyone care to share what the hell it is?

Shannon said...

Mine are up!
http://palmersf1.blogspot.com/2009/06/random-tuesday-thoughts-6-16-09.html


I love how you said your a discount now. LOL

BeautifulWreck said...

LMAO about the hands down your pants. Wouldn't it been better had it been your husbands hand?

My RTT is not nearly as exciting as yours!

Mama Badger said...

I have yet to meet someone who looks good in Uggs. It's kind of like the abominable snow man is eating your feet. But hey, thanks for throwing out a discount code.

And the pictures were odd. What kind of warped person poses kids like that? Ewwww.

beth said...

not so much random thoughts today, as a bizarrely random situation, but here's the link anyway.
ps - i only wear ugg type boots with sweatpants. good forbid i take the time to tie a pair of sneakers in the winter.

Michelle said...

I have been thinking about our convo as well. It's amazing how quickly communication changes. But then again, I still remember the time before personal computers... so yeah, now I feel old.
It's also part of the reason why I wonder at the cell phone obsession. I mean, I didn't have one growing up and I never thought that I was unsafe. But I hear parents use that argument all the time to get their preteens cell phones... And yeah, that's way off topic.
Well, now my Random Tuesday Comment AND my Random Tuesday Thoughts are both up!

Kaylen said...

No link to the hubby's blog?? How will he get famous without your help??

I don't think I have woken up with my hand down my pants, but I sometimes take my pants off in my sleep and don't realize it.

I don't think I can pull off the fur boot look either. I suspect it will make me look like a polar bear.

Happy 200th!!!

Jaime said...

too funny... at least you didn't wake up with your hand down someone else's pants

robin said...

We want to see hubby's blog! Share, pls!

Swoozie said...

Hmmm, Whooga boots are not for me either. I just know that if I wore them in public people would think " Now just who in the HELL does she think she is??" Yeah, apparently I CARE that much about what other people think. Boy, am I stupid!

I would be completely blown away if my hubs told me he had a site. That would be a shocker!

Happy CreepDay right back at you! And I'm loving the fact that you are now a discount code.....you are way cool Girl!

ModernMommy said...

I didn't click on the pictures because I do have unresolved childhood fears. And yes, I'm always thinking about modern technology when I watch old movies.

K said...

Happy Creepday!

I promise I'll join in on the fun again soon. Life has been kicking my behind lately.

(I often sleep with my hand down my pants. I don't know why.)

Elle said...

Great creepday randomness.

The clown pic creeped me out. I'm a clown hater.

gigidiaz said...

My RTT is incoherent, not just random.

Jenn said...

Hitting the big time with a discount code! Wooo!! Yeah. I can't wear Uggs. I would look ridiculous...and stupid...and stupid... but someone can...and will rock them with UN MOM PRIDE...

Snooker said...

Too tired to figure out the scary Mr. Linky.
Wonder why? Read here.

Kay said...

I love the boots... but, since I'm not a size -2, they won't look right.

Creepday works for today - and I was too afraid to click the link to the scary pics.

Meli said...

Wow a discount code, that freakin awesome.

Happy Creepday!!

Gwyne said...

Ya know, I'm not sure even skinny people could pull those boots off...

Des said...

Mister linky seems to be functioning properly.

I like the idea of Creepday because it does feel as if the days are creeping up on me. And not just Tuesday... which explains why I said days, as in every day.

Maybe eventually we'll get to find out what your husband's blog is called or perhaps a url cause I don't have enough to read as it is.

Ciao

Michele said...

Shit! You changed the name after I posted. So next week it's crapday, uh sorry I read that wrong, it's creepday.

Congrats on 200. I just celebrated 300. Feels like 100 was yesterday. Nah, more like 500.

Captain Dumbass said...

I got that Whooga thing too, but I was all, who's going to buy sheepskin boots when it's almost summer?

And seriously, if you're going to keep a decapitated head around, it needs to stay in the fridge. If you make it talk like a puppet the kids accept it pretty quick.

FoN said...

He has started his own blog? Really? Very interesting - you must post the link.

GroovyGirl said...

that was pretty fucking random..and congrats on the 200th post!

Sam said...

I'll never be able to pull off Uggs or skinny jeans, so I'm outta luck. If you ever post a discount code for flip flops or sweat pants, let me know. I'm your girl.;)

Bex said...

dude, (wait, did i just turn into casey?) my hubs just started a blog for his work to interface technical issue updates with customers! yeah, after all this time and all these jokes about how dorky i am and how i'm only a step away from dungeons and dragons ... there he goes, starting a blog!
