Thirteen Things about Leanne, Thursday, March 8, 2006
My other Thirteens1. My latest crazy dream involved pregnancy. I was pregnant, 9 months in fact. I was having contractions, and went to the hospital, and was trying to ditch my husband because I was mad at him. Some lady with a week-old baby came up to me and apologized to me, said “I swear, if I knew I would never have done it”. You can figure the rest out all by yourselves.
2. Another crazy dream (the night before last) involved a house fire. The roof of our home burned away to nothing leaving a big gaping hole to the sky – and it was spring, and the rains came, and it was pouring inside our house. Our bed was like a swimming pool, so I dove in and did a few laps.
Then we left to go buy a new refrigerator, because I’ve always wanted a side-by-side.
3. Okay so I got a new credit card. It’s a Disney credit card. Guess which character I picked for my card?
4. I’ve been using a lot of new skin care products lately. Trying things out. The ones I’m having the most success with are Dove (thanks Jeanette!) and a ProActiv knockoff that I found that has a clarifier and toner in it. Only problem with that one – it’s turned my white facial sponge orange. Hm. I wonder what’s in that stuff?
5. We recently made a rather large purchase, a Bowflex from the second-hand exercise equipment store. I am determined to use the dang thing every single day, and so is our daughter. It is now her new “puttin’ my shoes on ma!” bench. Hey, at least it’s not storing our laundry…yet.
6. I doodled that self-portrait in my header and colored myself in the other night. I had doodled several girlies and decided that this is going to be my ‘toon style. It was a true stretch for me to doodle something less-than-realistic, so it’s probably very shocking to those of you who have been around me and my work and my doodles for a long time.
7. My sister (and I) thought of a new series that I could paint for my exhibition next spring. I’ll save the title of it as a surprise, but I’d like to ask you a favor – name your favorite bite-sized eatable. It doesn’t have to be a candy, just has to be bite sized, small’ish.
8. My cholesterol is 141! Yay! Blood sugar is 87, yay again! I guess – I don’t understand blood sugar levels but I’ve been told this is an acceptable number.
9. Did I tell you that I’ve developed a cool-pool-swimming-anxiety? Yes I am a freak of nature. If there are more than 2 people per lane, I can’t breathe or paddle my little legs through the water, and I may as well be on a respirator. I’m not going to the cool pool to have a heart attack, I was going to make my back feel better. Now my back is starting to hate me again, and the SUV Swimmer is probably pleased as punch with her lane hogging dog paddling self.
10. The last time I went swimming, my suit was nearly elasto-bare and I pitched it in the trash on the way out. Why didn’t someone tell me I was shedding rubber?
11. We have a 26×30’ish sized carport attached to our garage. The roof of the carport is flat. It constantly needs to be re-roofed, which is a pain in the patootie. We recently got a bid to either (a) demolish the damn thing or (b) peel off the roof and build a pitch, shingling it for longer durability. Guess which one is more expensive? Which one do you think we’ll be doing?
12. I get catalogs from a place called Venus USA. I’m not sure how they found me, or why they assumed I had the body of a Playboy bunny, but I get these things every month and I’m forced to look at these cutsey tiny pieces of clothing modeled by women who I doubt ever gave birth in a catalog with sizes only available up to size 10. (I checked the measurements, and if they think an XL will fit a normal 12, they’re nuts.) Why? Why me? They mock me. I hate them.
13. I’m buying my bikini out of that stupid catalog this year if it kills me. Should I start my liposuction fundrasier now?
