Celebraa-aate good times, COME ON! (Random Tuesday Thoughts)
Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 2:00AM Once upon a time, there was a girl. She wrote things on the internet and stuff and sometimes they were particularly disjointed. Her mother always said she was a celebrator (which sounds adorable but really she just likes an excuse to have cake), so she turned her random thoughts into a little party, every Tuesday.
(Sorry, it’s Bring Your Own Cake.)
I’ve officially reached the point in my life where jeans are just fucking uncomfortable. Black yoga pants are my new best friend. I think Hallmark has a card for this important milestone.
My body has decided now is a good time to develop a sinus infection. I think my body has impeccable timing, considering I will be getting on a plane to go to Nashville Wednesday morning. I must remember to send my body a ‘thank you’ card.
While I’m at it, I’ll express my appreciation for deciding that we are in menopause without consulting me.
I’m not sure there’s a card with enough expletives to cover all of that.
It was this cold here last week.
I’m not even remotely ready to go to Blissdom. My legs are unshaven, my toenails are janky. None of my roomies are going to want to share a bed with me!
…hang on, that kind of works for me.
I am so very, very tired of editing my resume. Someone just realize how fabulous I am and give me a job already.
Frosty the Snowman travels 5314 miles to die.
I’m a bit of a nervous flier. Not because I’m worried the plane will plummet us to our fiery doom, although that’s always a fun topic of conversation. That, however, is out of my control. No, I get all sweat-palmed and jittery over managing to navigate the unknown airport, make my plane on time, get through customs, and somehow manage to NOT look like a complete idiot.
Because clearly, looking silly is much more frightening than tucking my head between my knees while my face is burning off.
Last week, real life superheroes, this week, real life ninja. It’s a font of useful information around here.

I happy to be joining in on the random Tuesday thoughts. I hope that I am random enough for you all. Happy Tuesday.
I happen to agree with you!! Looking ridiculous while tearing through the airport is a definite no-no! Must look cool and sophisticated while traveling! If the plane blows up...oh well! But tripping and falling on your face and your rush to catch you plane is much more serious!! I feel your pain and discomfort! So get those legs shaved...get a pedicure and do your makeup. You must look fabulous!!! I mean, seriously!!!!!!!
Happy Random!!
Hugs

You need all that leg hair to keep your socks on this cold. That's my story and I'm sticking to it... :P
I am going through the same denim drama... I have about 40 pairs (I used to totally over shop) hanging in my closet, and only a handful are actually comfortable. Sad thing is I didn't gain weight, my body just changed shape. If I was smart, I would clean out my closet, but honestly, no matter my great intentions, do I see that realistically happening.... As for the airport, no looking ridiculous ;)
Holy crap that's cold. Why do you live there again? Have a good thaw in Nashville. I'll miss you guys!!
You know how much I fly, right? I still worry about looking stupid in the airport. It totally beats dying in a fiery crash.
I worry more about looking like an idiot in the airport rather than the whole plane crashing thing, too. Hubby especially hates the airport in general, because he always seems to get singled out by the security people.
I thought it was cold here - you always have me beat! ;)
I hope you feel better soon, sucks to travel while sick! I'll be on a plane on Wednesday morning too, but to LA.
I totally gave in to Yoga pants while I was in pain waiting for my surgery. I have no excuse now except that they are soooooo comfortable. I basically wear them all the time. You never know when you might need to strike a Yoga pose. At least I'll be ready.
I'll be flying to DisneySMMoms in March & I'm wondering if my doctor will prescribe something for me to take the edge off of this anxiety. The whole airport thing is nerve-wracking.
Have a safe trip.
The ninja of Norwich??? Okay, that was good for snorting coffee all over my keyboard. I'd make you get me a new one, but with the whole daycare situation and all...
*still snorting*
Don't worry, you'll be fine! In fact, I think unshaven legs could be considered useful in the event of a plane emergency. Don't ask me how. That's for the adrenaline to decide.
Have a great time in Blissdom, report back.
You not shaving is like when pro athletes grow a playoff beard. Go with it.
LOL, isn't funny, we would be ok burning in a fiery death, but the thought of looking and acting stupid is mortifying? I have only taken one flight (as an adult) in my life and the process of getting on the plane almost put me into a panic..
These blog conventions always sound like fun, even if you are unshaven and jagged toed... Have a little extra fun for me :) if you can with a sinus infection. I grew up with those, no thank you...
Thanks for sharing your Ninjetic thoughts with us today...
i hope you feel better soon so that you can enjoy blissdom.
I think you might have what my 5 year old has. I hope you are feeling better soon.
I offer you the Yoga Pant Salute of Solidarity. I'm a believer.
The last time I was on a plane was back when I was 7 years old. I'm turning 28 this year, how about that? :D
Happy Tuesday Keely! :)
Hi, I've been following for a while, but just joined in your bloghop for the first time. Thanks for hosting. I hope to meet some new friends.
Yeah, that's cold alright. We have had our days like that here, the good thing is that for the most part I haven't had to got out into it, much.
I wonder if anyone in upstate New York has tried the water trick. They were at -35. I wish it'd get that cold for about 5 minutes here, so I could try it. But seriously, only 5 minutes.
Now I want to be a ninja!
LOLed at the Frosty mileage. Poor snow dude. Sorry it's cold there!
Before you fly do everything in your power to prepare for that sinus infection in air. See about a Z-Pac and hope it helps get rid of the symptoms. Get a nose spray designed for sinuses and sinus meds. The cabin pressure change in the air will kill you. I fly constantly and I've been there more than once. One time it was so bad everyone in my row cleared out so I could lie down. Ugh. I feel for you. That's my biggest fear about this new job. If I get one of those suckers I'm going to be MISERABLE.
glad to see I am not the only one that is like that at the airport...
and janky toenails? lol, that made me laugh for real!
Thanks!!!
i really thought Hallmark had a card for every occasion, but maybe i've just never needed a card with that many expletives.
I cant' wait for the February Thaw. I like the snow but this -30 crap can take a hike!!! That reminds me I need new skates. It's days like this that make everyone think Canada is a big chunk of ICE!
