What is it about chlorinated water that makes grown adults act like they are 8? There was some weird dude in the "deep end" of the pool--which is really only a little deep, like 5 1/2 feet--and he kept just squatting down in the water. He had his little goggles on and he'd squat down like he was sitting on the bottom. What is with that? Does he think nobody sees him? Does he know that he looks like an idiot? Does he know that this isn't his gramma's backyard pool--that this is a lap pool? At a rec center?
Don't even ask about the old guy hacking up a loogie in the shallow end. I just kept thinking "Don't spit. Please don't spit." in my head. Do you know how hard it is to swim laps when you are thinking this old guy is gonna spit a loogie in the pool? I don't think he did, but still, it grossed me out. Joe wants to know why I keep going there.
Yeah, me too.
Joe shaved off his goatee the other day and now his face looks fat. And it looks like he has flesh-colored lips. I didn't even notice it when he did it--I just thought there was something up with his lips--they looked weird. He said nobody even noticed at work--isn't that weird too? You'd think people would notice something like that. They don't.
I was woken up the other night/morning at 4:30 a.m. by Em's Hoops and YoYo door decoration. I'm not sure who set it off, but at 4:30, I hear these wacky high-pitched voices singing "Come in our room! Come in our room! It may not be clean, but come in....our room!". Scared the living crap outta me. At that hour, you aren't sure if it was the cat that set it off--or a robber. Maybe a murderer. Can you imagine getting murdered to Hoops and YoYo singing? Criminy, I hope not.
But I laid there, scared and awake, until my alarm went off at 5:30. Yeah, me. Today, I don't find Hoops and YoYo so cute anymore.
Although the whole experience gave me some time to think of all this weird stuff.

Hmn...so you've got a squatter at the pool, eh? Weird. Someone should tell him to bring a kid with him next time- then he has all the license he wants to act loony.
Oh the on-going search for the perfect bra. I am on that quest. LOL!
Love Hoops and Yoyo! Have a magic '8' ball H & Y that answers sarcastically when you shake it. I use it at work for all my big decision making.... ;)
Have a wonderful May you wacky girl!
xo Catherine
Isn't it interesting that people who notice things don't realize that most people don't notice things?
Did it ever occur to you that the rest of the world is living inside the Matrix? Only you have escaped. Now if only you can find Trinity and Neo . . .
Oh, and what's a "Hoops and YoYo?"
I just wanna hear more about the bras.
I LOVE that picture!
It is aggravating when they stop making your favorite underwear?
I had to look up Hoops and YoYo and discovered that I send Hoops and YoYo greeting cards to everybody for every occasion. (Ok, maybe not every occasion - I don't think I have ever seen a sympathy card with them on it.) Never knew they had names I only know that I spend an inordinate amount of time in the greeting card aisle laughing my butt off and yelling to my husband "Listen to this one!"
I am never getting into a pool again unless I can have my own in the backyard. Loogees, peeing, floating child turds... nope... not even putting my toe in a public pool EVAH!!
Well this was sure a lot of miscellaneous thoughts! I used to want to go swimming but now I don't think so. My hubby wants to shave off his goatee but I like it so it's staying - for now. I'd certainly notice! Hey, how's your new face after you got that burning thing done. Can you go without makeup?
I used to wake wide awake if I heard Mmmbop by Hanson. No other song, but that one I am sure to wake me from the deadest of sleep. Must be something about a nightmare about three prepubescent towheads trying to strangle me with noise.
Oh, and those old Furbie creatures. My sisters had one that would NOT SHUT UP. Had to bury it in a bathroom closet and did our best to forget about it.
Come to think of it...I don't think we've heard or seen that thing sense.
Which means its lurking around the house somewhere. Waiting to attack us.
It's only logical.
That happens to me all the time with bras too. That's exactly why the ones I wear now look like I bought them from a rag seller.
The pool experience sounds pretty nasty, I have to say.
I hate shopping for bras. I want to know why the people who make them think that all small chested women want a boat load of padding in their bra.
If there is enough chlorine in the pool, it will sterilize everything. Even the loogie.
You are so weird you might get caught in a current in your pool and be pulled under in your waders. Beware!
i bet that dude was peeing in the pool LOL boy talk about being Mr. Irrelavant i think Joe should grow a beard like ZZ Top then see if anyone notices
Nancy--And then he would swim underwater to the shallow end. It was odd. Very odd. Very 8-year oldish.
Catherine--OOOH, I would LOVE that magic 8 ball for work! I go to Nordstrom for bras. They just always have the ones I like. Thank goodness. I'm quirky like that.
Vanilla--Huh?
Chuck-- Go here: http://www.hallmark.com/online/hoopsandyoyo/ You can't help but love them. I swear I'm in the Matrix at that pool. It's where all weird things unite.
Betty--Natori bras from Nordstrom. LOVE them. They are expensive, but so are Victoria Secret's bras and I don't like them.
Patty--Bras are the worst. No, wait, undies are. Noooo, bras. Well..maybe undies....
Grace--I LOVE Hoops and YoYo. You can't help but crack up with them. Em has a set of stuffed Hoops and YoYo that Hobbes beats up. Poor things have the stuffing coming out of them.
Diane--Yeah, it's gross. I kinda like it when my goggles fog up just a bit so I don't see the debris.
Beaded Tail--I like how my skin has evened out. I have to be careful in the sun or it can come back, so I still wear a strong sunscreen and a base. I don't know what I will do come summer, but I think I will continue to protect it. I won't be doing that peel again anytime soon! But, yes, I probably could go without--it looks that good.
Silver--Watch out for Killer Furbies!!! :O And mmmmbop. Gads, that was an awful song!
Liz--Mine too because I hate going on the quest to find new ones. Nordstrom has been carrying my favorite for a few years now. And they do GREAT fittings should I need a new brand. Not cheap, but fabulous!
Ann--Some do, but I do not. I like a bit, but not too much. Check out Natori t-shirt bras. They are expensive, but GREAT!
Daisy--Is that like Holy Water --where if it is blessed there are no germs?
Sharkey--Oh, I shouldn't be swimming in my waders???? Maybe I'm the weirdo!
Paul--Joe is so neutral and quiet, that I'll bet nobody notices, Paul. Now, if it was me, I'd be all "HEY! I SHAVED MY BEARD OFF, PEOPLE!" :P I don't want to think what the hell that guy was doing.
haha, that's a lot of information.
cute picture!!
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in the world who sits around and thinks about weird stuff! VS used to make my favorite bra but of course now they don't. So my bras are looking mighty ragged these days :)
xxx
That sure was a bunch of random stuff. Glad you like your new bras. We like that picture too. It is terrific. How do the frogs like having a monster in the pond with them?? That does sound like a scary wake up. Take care.
Debbie--Yeah. Almost brinks on too much. ;)
Red Dirt girl--I hate VS. I know there are people who swear by their bras, but I don't like how they fit the small chested woman. And the colors. Yikes. I'm old fashioned--give me beige. There is no heaven like putting on a new bra.
Marg--I don't think we had many frogs the year I went in with the waders. If so....those guys were hiding!! We all had so much fun with the waders--we each took a turn going in. It takes so little to amuse us.
Tears in my eyes again
I gave up on the bra
The rest is priceless
I bet some people at Joe's work noticed...they just didn't say anything cause grown-ass people just don't comment on things like that. Especially guys! I'd notice right away and would say something!
Oh, and you're a DORK in your waders!
I don't even know where to begin with this one! LOL...
Squatters? Spitters? Getting murdered to silly songs? Ummm...hmmmm?
Oh, but hey! I can so relate to the bra thing. I've told everyone who will listen about my new bra that fits marvelously. I hope I can find this one again too. Yea, it is hard. SMH.
:-D
