Sometimes I...

Today, in order to keep my self as normal and humble as possible, I decided to rip off someone else's blog title and write about some things the I sometimes do.... here goes...

Sometimes I.......
  • eat grapes off the bunch at the grocery store.
  • wonder how I could sneak in movie without getting caught, but I never actually do it.
  • get mad at a noisy cat and I try to hit it. One time I did and the cat didn't meow for days!
  • ....ok this is not a sometimes but an all the time.. I laugh when people fall down or trip.
  • wonder about silly things like.... do plants have feelings...and do birds know that when we "shoot one" its bad to do so..... :0)
  • say I am working late when I am really just goofing off on the Internet.
  • watch Golden Girls on DVD all day long!!!! Mama's Family too!!!
  • get my nose hairs waxed.
  • call Sterling and pretend to be Jesus.
  • pass gas in public places just to laugh at the people who are with me that get embarrassed.
  • get very mad when I see people misuse crayons.... there is a correct way... ask me if you need to know.
  • don't answer the phone because I don't like talking to the person who is calling. (You know you do that too!!!)
  • make silly faces in the mirror or on my computer cam just to see how funny I can be.

  • go down a different aisle at the grocery store when I see someone I don't want to talk to coming.
  • wear a shirt that says ..."Be nice I know Santa!" in the middle of the summer just to see people laugh.
  • use another person's toothbrush... I know it's gross...but what if you forgot yours??
  • get bored listening to my granny on the phone... and I respond with "uh-huh" about every 5 seconds to make it sound good.
  • make up songs about funny things and sing them loudly... just ask Matt.... Maybe one day you'll get a video of that on here.... You can only hope!!!
  • Google my own name along with a long list of other silly stuff.... like... how long it takes to grow a pumpkin, the history of ketchup, why do they call it scotch tape, and who has the longest toenails.... I can't help it... I'm curious.
I hope this list provided you with some laughter...and gave you a glimpse into the "real" me... You know...that side of us we all have, but work our whole life to hide....

Anyway... I would love for you to respond to this blog with this statement.... "Sometimes I...." and tell me a little bit about yourself...

Have a great day, and be encouraged, because even with all these silly things that are me....

God made me special, and He loves me very much!- Junior Asparagus, Veggie Tales

JED!!! I can't believe you are that kind of person!!! :0 Actually, several years ago, I would watch Montel Williams just because I thought he was good-looking! And now, I hide my snacks so I don't have to share with my five kids! Oh my goodness, I can't believe I just told the world this! I hope the kids aren't reading! - Amy

okay, farting to embarrass your friends was way to much information. that was so funny! yep, we're all real people...and if i don't want to talk to someone, i don't answer the phone either. guilty as charged!

JED!!! Well, sometimes I...don't answer the phone either, enjoy an overload of junk food, read all day,have a hard time saying no, make big plans and don't follow through and have a really hard time letting go of hurt feelings. I am SO glad my God forgives all my uniqueness! It's nice to know "Birds of a feather flock together." Glad yall are doin' fine. SL

Actually Meredith should be writing this. I embarrass her all the time.., especially in the grocery store. I like to dance and if I have a "little gas" I always look around to make sure no one is behind me. Of course being a woman of size ther is no such thing as a "little gas" and as my Mom says.., "It gets away from me." sometimes I.., talk to myself.., then answer myself.., and laugh out loud at myself. You know I'm a very humurous person anyway. sometimes I.., act like i really care about what someone is saying. Especially if it's somebody I'm not real crazy about anyway and they just go on and on. I'm thinking.., "Who cares?" Now about you pretending to be Jesus. I know Sterling pretty well and I think he knows the difference. I don't eat the fruit at the grocery store because I'm afraid it may have some kind of poison sprayed on it and if you eat it you'll start making funny faces. Oh No!! Jed.., you need to wash the fruit!! Now I know why you don't answer my calls. Well.., that's okay.., I'll just bug you on your blog. This was great. I had fun. By the way.., Ronnie is home from Mexico. I'm so glad he didn't get arrested or anything.., he only knows "bad" Spanish words. Take care guys.

Love ya-
Megie

OH you had me LOL big time. SO funny and SO true. I can identify with just about all of your list. you're great.

Not just sometimes, but fairly often, I say to myself (out loud so others can hear it, realize it, and move toward the same conclusion) that "I love me"... I am truly my biggest fan! Sometimes I answer my phone "Master of the Universe" (there are even a couple of friends at work who still refer to me by that name). All the time, I let my dogs lick my face - because they love me too!!! I like to run up and down the grocery aisles with my daughter - even if it makes Jill mad.

Jill says that sometimes when she's using sign language with Ashley in public, she will pretend to be deaf too, just to see what people say. Jill lets the dogs lick her face too, but they love me more than her.

Love you guys,
George and Jill

Let me testify...it's my toothbrush he uses, my mom he makes up songs about, my nose that smells his farts, mostly school people whose phone calls he ignores, and it's me who trips all the time.

Matt Johnson said...

Now my turn...I always, not sometimes, pass gas in a crowd of people and just pretend I don't smell anything, I sometimes respond on the phone, "I need to let you go" when really they need to let me go b/c I'm bored to death talking to them, I sometimes...when guests are over, I'll have the TV turned to something educational or intellectual (Discover, History, Fox News) but have on previous channel ESPN or a game and turn it when no one is looking.

I am laughing so hard at some of these comments...

I mean who knew that Amy would watch Montel Williams because he was good looking...

and who knew that Jill pretends to be deaf when signing just to eaves drop...that is so stinking funny...

I cannot imagine Emily doing any of the things on my list... I guess I have the very impression of her that I was accusing my readers of having of me...

One more thing I thought of... Sometimes I act like the phone is breaking up if I dont want to talk anymore and cant figure out how to get off the line... Sorry if I have ever done that to you, but sometimes you just need to go!

I can hardly wait to see what some of my more faithful commenters put as their "sometimes I..."

I expect to hear from some of my Filipino readers as well!!!

Sometimes I pretend to be listening but my mind is actually a thousand miles away...like now my sister is just a chatting away and I am typing this message to you. Please don't tell on me!

I do the grocery store aisle thing...especially at Wally World when you see every student you teach on Sat morning and you have on a hat and NO makeup. Scary stuff.

Sometimes I secretly wish I was Dr. Phil, so I could say things to some of my "favorite" parents like..."How's that working for you" and "What were you thinking"

KJA said...

Sometimes I......
Have no idea what someone says to me because I just ain't listening!!
Agree when I really don't... Swerve real hard in the road to scare Shelley and ask if she saw that pink elephant!!!! Try to be sympathetic with others and ask myself why do I care afterwards....
Catch myself not being Christ Like Towards STUPID people who do not have a clue in this world and no it is only my opinion who thinks they are STUPID.....
I think my opinion only counts... Last but not least Poot in the store and leave Shell standing for people to think it was her....

HEy Poo_Poo!

Well Here goes..
Sometimes I....

Get off the phone with people by saying I need to tend to my daughter so I don't have to be rude and say let me go...pass gas at my desk and pray no one walks by...watch lifetime movies so I can imagine what it would be like to have a "man" (only you can appreciate that)... I don't answer the phone, like you,...send my daughter to get something b/c I didn't feel like getting up at that time...not attend an event b/c they didn't attend something I invited them to...took something back to the store after using it, but who hasn't done that...eaten candy/nuts out of the area that allows you to choose from an assortment then put into baggies...Thats all I can think of for now, but then again you know most of them b/c I always tell ya!
