Not Me Monday 02/09/09

Well, it is "Not Me" Monday once again. Last week I didn't think I had much to post and ended up with a decent post. This week, not so much. MckMama posted of course and there are over 400 links to others who have posted, so go check out their posts for your weekly dose of therapy.

I did not go to three movies at the theater in less than seven days.

I did not go out to eat at least once a day every day for the past week.

I did not lift more than ten pounds on more than one occasion, going against doctor's orders. I feel like my "normal" self!

See, told you it wasn't very exciting. Again, check out MckMama's blog for the best free therapy around. Have a good week!

Not Me Monday 2/2/09

This week I don't have a whole lot to "Not Me", but I didn't want to miss a post. MckMama should be back from vacation this week, so check her blog after you read mine! Free therapy, what more could you ask for?

So, I did not squeal with delight while walking to my next plane in Cincinnati when I saw an Outback Steakhouse. I did not proceed to walk inside and get a table. Nor did I proceed to order a bowl of my favorite potato soup(Walkabout Soup). And I also didn't sit there for an hour and a half killing time. Nope, not me!

I did not nearly cry over how gorgeous my new cousin is. He has the most perfect shaped head despite being stuck in mom's pelvis, and he is absolute perfection. I hope to post a picture of him later this week.

I did not jump for joy that my blog friend Wendi finally had her baby Elijah this week. He was much anticipated and yet another gorgeous baby I get to drool over, except I have to do it over the internet instead of in person.

I did not root for the Arizona Cardinals in the Superbowl in the hope that the underdog would win. I didn't even watch the game. I mean, it is about the commercials, right?

Well, hope you all have a good week. Head on over to MckMama's blog for over 400 other participating "Not Me" postings to get your dose of free therapy.

Not Me Monday 1/26/09

Well, its time for another "Not Me Monday" posting and I thought I better get a posting made for you all to enjoy! MckMama is on vacation this week, but still posting, so check her blog after you read mine and all the rest of us crazy people!

I did not have a smile that lit up the whole of Mayo when I walked away from my hospital room with a waiver for six weeks off of work. I didn't!

I did not order twice from the kitchen in one meal while in the hospital. Nope, my appetite sucked!!

I did not talk my doctor into an extra night in the hospital when he suggested I go home the same day as surgery. Nope, I wanted out of there!

I did not get picked up by my grandparents and promptly fall asleep on the three hour car ride to their house. What could possibly make me that tired!?

The doctors put me on a 10 pound weight restriction for pushing, pulling or lifting and I certainly haven't been ignoring that! Nope, not me!

One week after surgery, I did not drive two 5-hour trip days to be with my family. Nope, I was resting comfortably at home!

I also did not load my car for said trip by taking things out in pieces to stick to my weight limit. Nope, it didn't take me an hour to load the car! And it certainly didn't take me three hours to pack!

I did not jump with joy that two of three babies I am expecting to make an appearance on the planet decided to do just that! Baby Elijah, you are next!!

I did not convince my mom I needed a turkey dinner just weeks after the holidays and suceed in getting one. Nope, not me. I didn't gain a pound either!

I have not spent a small fortune on vitamins and minerals since having gastric bypass and now gallbladder removal surgeries. Nope, I am healthy all by myself!

Well, I think this is enough for you to chew on for this week!

Happy "Not Me" Monday!

Not Me Monday

**Going to repost this since I wasn't around last Monday to link to MckMama. Enjoy!!
**********************************************
I did not give in to my snowman fettish and buy even more on clearance this week while shopping in the clearance aisle at Fleet Farm. Nope, I resisted!

Two days later, I did not go to my favorite drug store and spend $75 on $300 worth of clearance items, some of which included snowmen.

I did not go to Walmart this week and spend over $150 in groceries. I mean, I was only gone for five weeks, what could I possibly have needed??

I then did not go back the next day and spend $75 in vitamins and supplements. Nope, Walmart doesn't own me!

I did not unload my car after being gone for five weeks from home and leave everything sitting in the kitchen or living room just as it sat. Nope, I unpacked it all! This is how I roll!

I did not actually put away said luggage the day after returning home after being gone for five weeks. I actually let it sit there and lived out of the suitcase, I mean, why put it away?

I did not spend an entire four hours checking email after returning to work after five weeks of leave. Furthermore, I did not spend the entire week catching up on said opened email. Nope, I had real work to do.

I did not tell my three-year-old niece Kersten that we only read books at bedtime when she asked me to read to her because I wasn't feeling the best, and I was watching the "In the Womb" special on National Geographic. Reading books means bedtime, right?

Well, I think this should get you through another week. Head on over to MckMama's blog for over 400 other participating "Not Me" postings. Free therapy indeed!

Not Me Monday

I did not drive 45 miles through completely ice covered roads and continuing downpour of freezing rain last night. I was not that far from home, I wanted to be home. I then did not give up and get a hotel room. I just didn't.

I did not go to White Castle four times in the past month to get my craving satisfied. I can't get these close to home, but I didn't give in to the craving. Nope! Not me!

I did not buy more than a dozen snowmen in several shapes and sizes this holiday season. I do not like them at all you see. I couldn't possibly house any more! Definitely not me! *PS, I got them all on sale though!*

I did not go to Walmart nearly every day of the past two weeks. Nope, no way!

I am not disappointed that my favorite pretzels are no longer available at Longs, the only place that still sold them. I did not nearly yell at the cashier about this either. I mean, how could she do this to me?

I did not eat a pound of banana runt candies over the course of three days. Nope, not me!

I did not drink McDonald's sweet tea every single day for a week. You know you can't get this in my neck of the woods, so I have to travel for it. But I did not do it. Nope!



I think this is enough for this week, I should have more for you next week.

Head over to MckMama's blog for more "Not Me Monday" posts, they are a blast!!

Not Me Monday!

Well, this isn't a regular post as I don't have a decent computer to type on, let alone pull all my pictures and graphics together on, but I thought I'd give you at least one "Not Me" for the week.

I did not stay in my pajamas all day today doing only the dishes and one load of laundry and nothing else.
Nope, not me!

Head on over to MckMama's blog to follow other "Not Me" posts and get your kicks for the week. I'll try to have a regular post next week!

Not Me Monday! 12/1/08

I did not stub my toe on Monday, only to come to realize I broke my toe when the pain exceeded my tolerance level. I did not go to the doctor for an x-ray knowing they couldn't do anything just to get the protective sexy shoe.

I did not proceed to go shopping at four different stores the same day. I also did not ride the little scooter in Walmart while shopping. Nope, I definitely walked!

I did not joyfully grin on the inside when my doctor suggested I take a five week medical leave from work. I didn't. I argued, I swear I did.

I then did not panic at all the things I have to do in order to take a five week medical leave from work.

I also did not panic when I realized that during my five week medical leave, I will miss CHRISTmas with some friends and family. I did not think about shopping very quickly!

Not Me Monday! 11/24/08

It is time for my second installment of "Not Me" Monday. I enjoyed the first one and linking to MckMama's blog, she had almost 300 people signed up as doing this. I think it caught on!

So to start off this week...........

I did not go to the store to buy a turkey for Thanksgiving based on the super awesome price of $0.68 a pound only to discover upon checkout that I had not read the fine print and you had to buy $50 of groceries first. This was my last stop of the day, I had already bought my groceries elsewhere. RAR! I had to pay $0.88 a pound instead.

I did not watch Anne of Green Gables for the 100th time and cry when Matthew died.

I did not go through all the things I have collected this year for CHRISTmas gifts and start wrapping those I had completed. **Please note, I am a last minute kind of girl on the wrapping thing usually and I am never this prepared with having gifts so early either.

I did not ask my neighbor if I could put a bag of garbage in his can this week because I forgot to pay my garbage bill.

I did not groan when I found out for the fourth time in as many years, my desk is once again moving down the hall. (I guess its a good way to clean out the clutter, right?)

I did not do a "happy dance" at my desk on Monday because my PTO accrual is finally getting a bump after ten years. The equivelent of an extra week over a year is now added to my balance.

I did not laugh when the ten-year-old brought up a topic that a ten-year-old should not know about and then continue to explain that the topic was not appropriate for her age while trying to not laugh. Mommy and Mamie were so NOT prepared for that comment and Mommy couldn't even get a word out!

I did not do a half "happy dance" while sitting in my car driving to the store because Kristin called to tell me that after ten very long years, we have finally been granted parking on campus at work!!

I did not do a "happy dance" when the price of gas came down to $1.69 for the first time in four years! This is something I was sure I'd never see again. Hoping to see the continuance of the prices lowering, and staying this way.

I did not laugh when the 19-month old walked into the living room carrying two drawers from his Sissy's makeup table and literally chuck them at his ten-year-old sister. I didn't! And neither did Mom or Dad.

Not Me Monday!

I did not make my doctor order me another CT scan for my left lower quadrant pain which turned out to be completely normal. I did not ask him to order me a kidney ultrasound, but he did order it, and it too was completely normal. I am normal, can you believe that? I am still flabbergasted at what could be causing my pain. Scar tissue is about the only thing I can figure is left as a problem. GI doctor is testing a theory of my colon spasming by treating with a medication for now, I'll let you know how it goes.

I did not make the kids do a scavenger hunt for our Harvest Party. I then also did not scold Joey for being a butthead about not properly participating. I didn't. Teenagers I tell ya!

I did not forget to mail a card to my brother for his 15th birthday. I didn't. I love you buddy!

I did not go to the doctor for my sprained hand just so I could get the splint as part of the cost of the visit. I didn't.

I did not raid my niece's Halloween candy for my sweet tooth craving this weekend. I didn't.

I did not fill up the gas tank on my Honda and do a "happy dance" right there when it came to only $25.

Nope, not me!

Not Me Monday!

So, MckMama has been posting "Not Me Monday" posts for quite some time and I laugh hysterically every week about her blogs. She has several hundred people following her blog and they too have joined in on the fun of posting "Not Me Monday" posts and link back to her blog. So much to read, so little time.

Well, I have decided to hop on this bandwagon and start posting "Not Me Monday" posts as well. I can't promise to do it every week. Like my "Tuesday Funnies" and "Favorite Foto Fridays", I just don't always have enough blog material. I'll do my best to keep you entertained as much as I can.

I'll be starting next week, but here is a taste.

I did not wake up on Friday, walk into the kitchen and do a "happy dance" because it was snowing. I did not enjoy seeing the first real snow blanket my yard, my car, my house. I did not think it was beautiful. I didn't. (cause them my thoughts went to, oh crap, going to have to start shoveling again!)

Enjoy!
