Random Relaxation

I still feel relaxed from yesterday...odd. I mean it is strange for me to feel relaxed at all, let alone for it to carry over into a second day. I shared a photo of my lunch from yesterday, but I neglected to tell you about my breakfast. We stopped to grab a bite on our way to spa-ville, and I had an eggshell in my potatoes, as well as a hair. I can let one incident slide (oh, unless it is a moth), but two strikes need to be pointed out. They were really good potatoes too. We already had a coupon for one free meal, so it was more of a just thought you should know sort of thing. We still got our one free meal, as well as half off the other. You would think that from now on I would scan my plate closely BEFORE digging in.

Speaking of food, I am familiar with the Mardi Gras King cake tradition, but is this any way to treat royalty? Oh, and I guess this bakery doesn't bake that adorable doll in ahead of time, so somebody gets to cram that into the cake? Or is it just taped there to represent exactly what the baby you might bite into looks like? In other words, if you pull a tiny doll out of your mouth that doesn't look like that, tough luck-keep eating.

Here is a thought from Fozzie on facials... Canned pumpkin does not achieve the same results as the blueberry facials his ladies give him, but it is delicious.

I did not purchase this product...That is not anything I equate smoothness with.

We saw The Muppets on Saturday afternoon. My daughter has had the song "Am I a Muppet or a Man" stuck in her head pretty much ever since. I told her to pull up the video and listen to the whole song again to see if that would make it go away. Of course, I had to watch too...and now I have had the song stuck in my head ever since as well. Mainly just the same "question" over, and over...and over again! Can I just tell you how much I love the cheap theater we have nearby? Thanks. Four movie tickets, large reusuable Muppet bucket full of popcorn...grand total of $13.50

I know you are all out looking for mismatched velour ensembles, and as promised, here is the girls' portion of the dress code letter to parents...
Girls should wear a dressy dress, either long or short. Students are not allowed to wear tube tops, garments that are completely backless or below the bra line, see-through clothing, dresses that are to be worn braless, tops that are too low cut in the front, and any clothing that exposes any of the midriff or the belly button. Skirt length should be the same that is appropriate for school. Strapless dresses and spaghetti straps are allowed
Just a couple of quick notes here. First of all, nothing does say dressy like a tube top (and they coordinate well with velour suits). Second, are strapless and spaghetti strap dresses meant to be worn with bras?

Things are going super swell in pedometer land, as I am sure you can tell from this photo of me eating an ice cream cone, while checking to see if my walking in place in our family room had yielded 7,000 steps yet. Oh, you can't see it? Yes, that is because I just accidentally deleted it. Have no fear though, as I am not proud to say that it was not an isolated incident.

A Random "Thank You!" to Stacy for hosting the rebellion!

  1. I may need to chuck myself into bed because I think I'm seeing things but does the white part of the cake look like an alien??? It totally looks like one of those big-headed alines to me.....

    1. Yikes, and alien? And did that little doll pop out of its belly...like a bizarro world version of the movie?

  2. You seriously crack me up! I've been giggling throughout your entire post.

    And now I'm cracking up over Lizbeth's comment - I had to go back and look at the King Cake again...she's RIGHT! The white part totally looks like an alien! *insert creepy music here*

    I wonder if they forgot to put the doll/baby/thing in the cake and that's why it's taped to the box. Crazy!

    Princess Nagger SO wants to see the Muppets - well, OK, so do I! You're lucky you have one of those cool cheap theaters near you - my sister in Iowa has one, so we had some fun going to movies without killing our budget when we visited over the holidays. :) A reusable Muppet bucket? Where's the picture?? ;)

    The dress code letter was a bit confusing - wonder if they'll modify it about bra vs. bra-less for the spaghetti strap or strapless dresses/tops. ;)

    Um, yeah - I wouldn't be buying that honey either. I seriously doubt a duck's butt is very smooth. I'm also not willing to find out. ;)

    I love that you were eating an ice cream cone while doing your pedometer steps. Sounds like something I'd totally do. :) Doesn't that pretty much cancel out the calories? ;)

    1. Perhaps I will gather all Muppet flair together for a photo for next week's random. The bucket is already in use holding preteen craft extravaganza (code: crap the girl left on the counter).

      My daughter was the voice of reason when I fretted over deleting the photo..."you can do it again"...

  3. Lizbeth is right, there is an alien in that cake!!!! You know, if you find the baby in the King's cake, you have to buy the cake the following year. So by putting the baby on the outside, I think that the store should buy everyone a King's cake next year. Along with an ice cream cone.

    1. I didn't know you had to buy the cake the next year--Is that all I have to do to get treated like royalty? Provide a cake? Oh, that's right and choke on an alien's spawn baby that I didn't "see" in the cake!

  4. wtf. . . the baby goes IN the cake. the point of that awful tasting cake is to screw somebody over and force them into making it the following year. how can you do that without the baby inside???

  5. That cake is...wow. Appealing? No, that's not the word I'm looking for...

    1. I think I would be more likely to eat a replica you create out of clay! Don't forget the baby!

  6. The King Cake. That's what happens when your Mardi Gras bakers get boozed up.

    Doesn't everyone wear bras with their strapless and spaghetti straps? Was there I memo I missed?

    :)

    1. Sometimes it does seem like the trend nowadays (I sound 80 now) is to have as many straps showing as possible, so maybe that is for old folks like me to know that. The bra should certainly be worn and showing. Luckily I have three more years for them to refine the girls' attire section before my daughter is there. Right now I just have to focus on the velour! :)
