I have been tagged by Disappearing Caravan. And thank goodness because otherwise, y’all would’ve had to read about N’s poopy diaper and E rolling around naked in dirt. Oh wait, you just did.
Seven Random Facts About Me:
- I found a hair on my leg last week that is at LEAST three years old. I can’t believe that I never shave that 1 cm x 1 cm spot since before I had children. It’s seriously THAT LONG
- I tell the same stories over and over again. And I’m only 31 years old. I fear that I will begin recycling blog posts without realizing it. And you will have to comment and say REMEMBER AUGUST OF 2012. SERIOUSLY ALEX.
- I believe (even with all my medical school training and the fact that I have SEEN the inside of a stomach) that we have little compartments in our stomachs. I may be FULL of meat and potatoes but my CANDY section is still hungry.
- I don’t like chicken. Except the occasional chicken wing from BW-3s. This makes cooking an “easy meal for the family” unbelievably difficult because it seems like every other domestic household eats chicken 6/7 nights a week.
- I am grateful almost everyday for spell-checker and glasses. Without those I could not blog and would probably take other people’s children home from the park.
- I don’t have cable. And haven’t for years. I still manage to waste time and have a disaster of a home. But I have no idea what’s going on in most hip American culture conversations including but not limited to Hoarders, Mad Men, and True Blood. But my husband is insisting we get cable for the World Cup in June. So perhaps my world will grow (or shrink depending on how you view television).
- I herniated a disk in my back at the age of twenty-four. I went to the family medicine practice associated with my medical school. I knew my doctor was an uber-Christian, and I had worked with the residents. But I had to tell the truth. I herniated the disk while making out with S. Before he was my husband. And I’m not sure that I could’ve said NOT WHILE WE WERE HAVING SEX more often. But I tried.
Well, I had fun. I may do it again even when I DON’T get tagged. Just because I love me. I mean, you. I mean, writing. So did I ever tell you about this leg hair I found?

Your posts are so freakin' funny, you make me wanna put away my keyboard. As if we're performing on stage and you do your act before I'm slated to start! Seriously, the candy compartment!?! I soooo get that.
Great post.

Grown up For Real
You're funny. (But surely you knew that already.)
We don't have cable, either – in fact we're too rural for cable, even if we wanted it – but I can't pretend that I don't check up on the latest useless news (think People) online.
All these interesting things, It's fun to stop and think about the incidents that are who you are, isn't it?
I am totally with you on the glasses – without them I would not be able to find my way TO the park let alone make it home again with or without the right child :-)
I can no longer wear contacts and am too much of a chicken to get lasik!
My candy section is ALWAYS hunger. Can't help it.
Number 7 is hysterical! I too have a leg hair that is ridiculously long. It's weirdly stuck to my leg, it doesn't seem to stand up enough to shave. This was not a problem before I had a child. Of course, I shave my legs so rarely that it's not really noticeable…sigh.
That's funny. I don't like chicken either, except under specific circumstances. You're right, it does make meal planning exceptionally difficult.
ha!! I totally remember you hurting your back, and the stomach thing, yeah, I feel like a cow (they have more than one stomach, right?) Like I'm full here, but still hungary here (pointing to different parts of my stomach). And the hair thing, I've always wanted to do an experiment by which I purposefully don't shave a section just to see how long it gets, maybe you can just put a picture of the hair on the blog and I won't have to find out from personal experience :)
Shaving is overrated, right?
And, my candy compartment is completely incapable of being filled…for real!
And, I don't need cable to waste time…not at all.
You are sooo funny! I am with you on #1-7! (And getting curious about Hoarders but don't know what channel it's on) Wish I had such a wild making out session way back when – maybe I did, can't remember…the worst I ever got was sore nipples…(sorry tmi)
Who needs cable, right?? We haven't had cable in years, so if it's not on Drudge Report, then I don't know about it.
I hear you about the difficulty of “making an easy meal” if you don't like chicken. I'm vegetarian, and my family is not, so there is no such thing as an easy meal at my house either.
I always believe that my dessert stomach is separate from the “other stuff” stomach.
Alex – SO glad that you visited my blog because now that I'm here checking yours out, I don't wanna leave! Love the oh-so-many LOL moments here. Truly a great way to start my day, afternoon or end the night with, depending on when I read it. I'll be back devouring more…and hopefully spitting back out that errant hair you just found. Eew.
So funny! I have a very large candy compartments and some very long hairs. Let's get together yeah, yeah, yeah.
Agree about chicken!!! Have cable seldom use it… Recycle storie but I am 44. Peace. That's a great way to herniate a disk!
#5 cracked me up in pieces. You sound like one fun list Alex!
I may have to put your blog on a sabbatical as my bladder is getting weaker and weaker…or I'm just getting slower and slower. OH, so MANY hysterical things to discuss. I better just save it for when I can SEE you!
Don't put down you keyboard!! How would you comment on my site?? J/K-keep blogging!! I found my voice (which I'm very happy makes you laugh) but the inter-ba-nets needs your voice, too. Get bloggy with it. (OH how I've wanted to use that phrase for WAY too long.) Seriously. Don't stop unless until you're done (if ever!)
Thanks!! No worries about the online useless news. We randomly started getting People magazine at our house and I realized yesterday that I had ALREADY read it cover-to-cover. I was RE-READING. (which I may need to get used to since one day our neighbors might notice that they're missing a magazine subscription.)
oh my goodness, i had SO much fun writing this post!
I'm totally a chicken about lasiks too! (but i can wear contacts although they've been bothering me more and more… ugh!)
Just accept it and buy the big bags… I find three of those can really test the candy section limit ;)
Thanks!
If I didn't live in the South where 90 degrees forces my legs out, I would NEVER shave. Even now I consider stubble just leg freckles.
OOH! A non-chicken eater!! We are INSTANT BFFs. (Or at least you can invite me over to dinner at ANY time.)
Oh the back of my right leg is your experiment. But I'm not sure that a picture would send people running. Fast.
PS. cows, me, you and most commenters here — so many stomachs, so little time.
My brain would go into overload if I had cable. I can only handle two internet browsers, my iPhone, and the radio without my head exploding.
