no explanation necessary

It's been a busy week.  The munchkins started swimming lessons and the sun and I are frenemies, so as you can imagine, it was just wonderful.  It's very tiring and the sun gives me headaches, so excuse the sporadic postings this week.  Hopefully I'll do better next week — the second week of swimming lessons (but I'm hoping to get the hubs to take the munchkins some, ha).  So, I thought I'd throw in a miscellaneous post to simply amuse myself.  This post is FaceBook inspired, from my status update earlier — I thought I'd replicate it with one-sentence statements, mostly things I've done — with no explanation provided.  Just fun. 

— I once cleaned my car out with a leaf blower.
— for no reason I know all the lyrics to "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off (to Have a Good Time)."
— the style name of the shoes I bought for my wedding was "Kerry."
— my high school substitute American history teacher called me "Melissa" for two months.
— I've had potato salad once in my life.
— in college I vacuumed up the cord of a pair of VERY expensive headphones, breaking both the headphones and vacuum.
— when I'm elderly I hope to resemble the fabulous Endora from Bewitched.
— I have no control over my reactive facial expressions when talking to people. 
— I find things inappropriately funny.
— I'm a piler, not a filer.
— before a party, I've been known to take the piles I've created of books, cds, magazines, etc and put them out of sight in my car.
— I'm teaching the 3-year old the Barenaked Ladies song "If I Had $1,000,000."
— there are dishes in my sink, laundry in the dryer, and there is a typewriter on my kitchen island right now and I don't care.
— I'm going to name my next dog Sadie from The Beatles song.
— I used to be more of a cat person. 
— I like to say "sweetie dahling" like Patsy and Edina in the best Britcom ever, Absolutely Fabulous.
— today I read that donkeys are the new owls. 
— next they will say chinchillas are the new penguins.
— seeing the video of Martha Stewart getting attacked by a sugar glider is perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen.
— I hate the font Comic Sans and wish people would stop using it.
— being social is, for me, sometimes worse than torture.
— I remember dates like a walking calendar and conversations practically word for word going back over two decades, but don't know the math facts everyone else memorized as kids.
— my high school counselor told me I'd have to change my attitude if I wanted to amount to anything.
— there is no amount of money one could offer me to ride a roller coaster.
— or bungee jump.
— I was such a word nerd that when I learned to spell "encyclopedia" in second grade, I wrote it on a tree at recess.
— I'm a BIG gift-giver, but would much rather receive a handwritten card on my birthdays than anything else.
— the worst sunburn I've ever had was on day two of our honeymoon. 
— around 9 pm if any children appear at the top of the stairs I start to talk to them like Bill Cosby. 
— not only does someone close to me quote Dr. Phil frequently, they also once began a conversation with, "I do believe we go somewhere when we die," while watching Oprah. 
— my parents would not let me get my drivers license until I was 18, but cosigned for a car for my sister after she blew out ALL of the tires of my mother's car on Youree Dr in Shreveport.
— I love the song "Cannonball" by the Breeders for summer listening.
— hearing Richard Marks makes me want to punch someone in the face.
— I will watch the movie Mommie Dearest every time I see that's it's on television. 
— I think you need to watch the cheesetastic video of "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off (to Have a Good Time)" by Jermaine Stewart right now because we can dance and party all night and drink some cherry wine, uh huh.
