Fun Fact Friday
* I know all the words to Ice Ice Baby.
* Gerald and I have every episode of Futurama on our TiVo. We’ve seen them so many times that we’ve invented a new game to play. We take turns randomly picking an episode (with eyes closed) and then we try to see which one of us can guess the episode first. It’s like that old game show Name That Tune. Yes, we realize this makes us incredibly lame.
* Apparently, I’m an evolutionary success.
* Maddie’s going through what is HOPEFULLY a phase of being very contrary. She intentionally ignores instructions and requests. I am not handling this well, at all. It seems like every time I try to play with her, I end up fussing at her because she doesn’t listen. She immediately runs to whatever off-limits thing she can get to and proceeds to mess with it. I could throttle her when she does this. What is supposed to be fun playing ends up being upsetting for both of us.
* I really, really want to take a family vacation. Unfortunately, Gerald is working three jobs right now and it’s just not possible for him to go anywhere.
* The only place I’ve been that’s out of the U.S. is Canada. I would love to travel to so many places, but I’m too indignant about airlines. I refuse to pay all that damn money and be treated like shit.
* I’m allergic to five different antibiotics.
* After spending so many months on bed-rest, I sleep on my left side more often than not.
* I actually drink the amount of water I’m supposed to almost every day. I don’t understand it when people say that can’t possibly drink that much. How can you not? Aren’t you thirsty all the time?
* I want a pet rabbit. And a kitten. And horse. And an octopus.

That sarcasm article is…weird and yet kind of cool.
I’ve only been to Canada too. Even though Mexico is like, RIGHT THERE. Someday.
Here’s a funny travel one: I’ve lived in Texas. Olympia, WA, Chicago, Denver (whatev), and haven’t been to either Canada or Mexico. I have, however, been to Egypt. Go fig.

When Mimi was about six months old, she LOVED “Ice, Ice, Baby” and would kind of dance around to it if we supported her. It was hilarious, and I learned most of the words in the process.
I love Futurama. Last night I watched the one where Bender became a female robot to compete in the Olympics.
Glad you’re an evolutionary success. LOL
ditto on the water thing…..
totally ditto.
I’ve only been to Mexico, and it doesn’t really count. We went down to Laredo one weekend and crossed the border into Nuevo Laredo just so my mom could say she had been to Mexico.
OMG, what do you take if you get an infection?
I hear you on the water.
Plus? I know all the words to so, SO many songs that would be humiliating to admit.
Tess - With the size of Texas, it takes less time to get to another damn state than it does to go to Mexico. I’d love to go, though. Once I get a passport, I suppose.
Mimi - Maddie’s favorite was I Love Rock n’ Roll by Joan Jett.
R - Bend Her. Great episode. Favorite line: “Guys really like it when you glob it on.”
Devan - Darwinism at its finest!
Kim - We go down south all the time, but on the Gulf Coast side.
TNG - Z pack. Or E*rythro*mycin. The End. It’s terrible. I used to only be allergic to two antibiotics, but they’re BIG ones. Everytime a dr has tried a new one on me, I’m allergic to it. I’m allergic to the whole family of c*ephalo*sporins.
Maddie’s contrariness- totally a phase. My mom laughed when Zachariah did it. It was “No” about everything, even when he meant “yes”.
I love the pets that you want…an octopus would be fun.
