The Return of Not Me MONDAY

The following list is made up of things I SURELY didn't do or didn't have done to me over the weekend.

1. I did not spend all morning back cookies, Friday, for a bake sale my mom signed me up for. PRIOR to asking if i wanted to bake cookies for it.


2. 3 dozen cookies did not burn, darken around the edges, or flatten out, FOR NO REASON!


3. I did watch roughly 4 hours or Overhaulin and cry. A LOT.


4. I surely had more important/wilder things to do on y Friday night then go to the laundry mat and watch my clothes dry.


5. I didn't stop at Rita's for some yummy coconut ice only to find it missing from the menu, the high schoolers working their had the best work ethic and surely didn't make us (non high schoolers) wait for an extended amount of time while they chatted with their friends. After which they surely would not have MESSED up my order (all two things i wanted simple ices) and make me wish I hadn't stopped at all.


6. I didn't return one bathing suit for another which i will promptly be returning tomorrow before work.


7. WE didn't drive all the way to Philly on Saturday with no AC in 89 degree weather out of fear the car just might not make it if we turned it on. I was NOT seated on the sunny side of he car and wasn't dripping sweat till we go there.


8. I didn't have my first OFFICIAL Philly Cheese steak and it wasn't the GREATEST thing ever (next to wings in Buffalo).


9. I didn't revert back to my quite shy self while spending time with Pams family.


10. I wasn't REALLY SAD when i opened my t-shirts from Tshirthell.com to find an XL isn't really very Large at all. I didn't spend way to much time measuring shirts and trying to decided what to do with the shit that didn't fit.


11. I haven't decided to just return them and try again later.


12. I'm not sad about this at all :)


13. It wasn't absolutely beautiful here today and i didn't spend the whole day inside at the computer writing about the dead :(


14. I didn't chow down on 3 big pieces of cheese pizza last night because I love a melted cheese mess!


15. I don't have only 6 days till preggers showers and we haven't heard back from only 2 people, that would be ridicules.


16. I didn't go buy the stuff to make wing dip today and I'm not at all contemplating making it tonight so i can make sure it's not "poisoned" or anything.


17. I'm not going to start another eat better kick, which would DEFINITELY not be why I also bought Roman lettuce today at the store.


18. I didn't scarf down a chicken sub for lunch with lettuce on my journey to better eating today.


19. The above mentioned sub surely wouldn't have had cheese and (lite) mayo on it, because nothing about that screams healthy.


20. By the end the majority of the lettuce was not on my plate as opposed to in my tummy.

So how about YOU! What didn't you do over the weekend you would like to not mention.

Not Me Monday

Alas I am still....an apron loser. But I have hope. 3x's the charm right? Oh well. Congrats to the winner of Moma Kats apron giveaway! Good for you! So we are down to week 3 now. This weeks apron comes from Jennifer and her stuff is really freaking cute. I also give her points for showing how versatile the apron can be. she wears them while gardening in her photos. Thank you for taking for helping remove the stereotype that all aprons are used for is cooking and surprising your husband with nothing on but that. Good for you! My two favorites, yes i know I'm so indecisive are 1 and 2. I can't pick. So there is this weeks awesome giveaway. Good luck! So swing by and enter the giveaway at Moma Kats page.

Well it's Monday and I'm feeling like this just CAN'T be me. This must be a dream. I'm still snuggled up in bed with my blankets and it's night time and I'm asleep......right? I'm not at work already at 7:15 in the A.M. Oh dang it's really or this tea is really hot in my dream.

So for this weeks Not me Monday is as follows.

I did not collapse Friday as soon as I got home and sleep on my couch for about an hour. I was not tired in the slightest after getting up early all week for work. I can not tell you down to the minute how long it is until I'm done working mornings. I am not at all excited for my 2 days off this week. I do not feel the slightest bit annoyed at working 6 of the last 7 days. I love my job.

I did not plan my evening Friday around watching Friday Night Lights and I did not completely enjoy the show.

I did not go out of my way to stop at McDonalds and enjoy my first Shamrock shake of the season. I did not order a large and then almost poop my pants when they handed me a GIANT cup of Shamrocky greatness. The cup was not ENTIRELY to BIG to be a LARGE. And it didn't make me the slightest bit sick. The girl at McDonalds did not ask me, after I ordered 1 large shamrock shake, if i like them? I did not stumble over the obvious answer.

I did not have some truly yummy Hawaiian pizza Friday night for dinner.

I didn't wake up at 6 a.m. Saturday because my body thought It was supposed to. My body was not completely confused about the time change I've been working and did not punish me by making me sick all day Saturday.

I did not attend the twins birthday party and they did not turn 1. Since it wasn't their first birthday we did not allow them to play in the cakes. They were not a complete mess (photos to come later this week). They didn't have a great time.

Time did not fly on my one day off and I did not wake up Sunday to the realization that I had to go back to work.

I did not encounter any problems at work on Sunday and today hasn't been busy as ever. I did not start out my day by being yelled at because of a press problem, which I have complete control over. I did not pull into the parking lot and yell in my car very loudly "I don't want to be here!!!"

So that's my not me Monday

Not me monday

I did not willingly spend 4 hours watching the History Channel with my Dad on Friday. I did learn that I wouldn't want to live in Ocean View Estates on Kona due to the fact it's right in the way if the volcanoes blows and there is only 1 road out of there. That sounds fun.

I didn't learn more about copper then the average person will EVER need to know. I also didn't watch a 2 hour special on Comets. In those two hours I did not contemplate changing the channel. My Dad did not ask me questions about all 3 different shows and i did not get the answers ALL right. It was not fun at all.

I did not try something new when i went to dinner with my mom on Friday night. I did not steer away from my usual chicken fingers to get a Cuban sandwich that wasn't tasty. I do not now heart eh Lyndian Dinner.

I did not make a joke in front of my 17 year old cousin and his girlfriend that my crest white strips look like someone shot a load all over my lips. His girlfriend DID NOT look slightly uncomfortable.

I did not play Scrabble with my two 7 year old cousins. That was not the WORST idea EVER. They totally understood the concept of the game and they didn't constantly move the letters around getting them out of place. I did not want to throw the scrabble board across the room and send them to bed. I did not.

I surely didn't spend all Saturday listening to my neighbors yell. They weren't really getting on my nervous and i did not contemplate turning the most annoying music i could find up real loud.

I wasn't sucked into watch Dances with Wolves because I couldn't get anything else in on my tv.

I did not get furious while watching a show about bears getting into resort towns in the mountains. I did not sit there and yell at the tv every time a PERSON complained about these bears in the WILD!! I did not tell those yuppie IT people to go build their resorts in the city thus avoiding the bears. I did not tell them to use common sense. The topic of animal encroachment doesn't bother me one bit. Neither does the topic of HUMAN ENCROACHMENT on the animals. (don't build your house in the mountains and then complain about the bears. It's like building next to the Mississippi River and complaining about the water...oh wait YOU DO THAT TOO!)

I did not go to Friendlys after swearing never to set foot in a friendly's again. It was not the strangest place EVER and Preggers and i are not convinced that Friendly's employees all the crazy people in town.

I did not go to Target more then 1 time this weekend. And i most certainly did not buy any baby stuff.


I'm not cheering on the Steelers to cream the Charges. And i most certainly don't think it would be kick ass if the Eagles and the Steelers both pull off a win next week to make it an all PA super Bowl. that wouldn't kick butt in the least.

I am not 9 posts away from my 100th post!

Not me Monday

I didn't use my Macy's exchange card to buy a bunch of baby stuff for my friends. I surely didn't go back and forth between a ton of different things before i settled on the cutest blanket and some onies, and bibs. I didn't buy two of the blankets since I have two soon to be parent friends. The blankets didn't have the cutest little giraffe in the corner. I didn't absolutely want them in big kid size for me.


I didn't pray i would run into someone i knew when i got to Laura's baby shower yesterday. I wasn't so over joyed when i pulled into the parking lot and saw KT Bupp getting out of her car. We didn't sit together with Melissa and do some good old fashion gossiping. Our table didn't produce two winners at baby bingo. I didn't leave with some notepads as a prize.


I didn't purchase one of the above mentioned blankets for Preggers along with 3 cute onies for the baby. I couldn't hear Preggers voice in my head telling me to NOT BUT BABY STUFF YET, while i was paying. I wasn't so excited.


The shower didn't give me the sudden urge to have a baby simple so people will buy me things. I didn't think how cool it would be to be getting all this fun stuff. I surely didn't almost smack myself back into reality when KT Bupp said, "yeah but then you have a kid". Oh yeah. I'm not plotting a away to register for stuff and have people throw me a shower without actually having to have a kid or get married.


I didn't spend a lot of time with my extended family this weekend eating food that was yucky. I surely didn't stuff myself on meat, cheese, candy, chips and dip. I absolutely ate veggies and salad and not buffalo chicken sandwiche and fries when i went to dinner with my mom.


So that was my weekend. or my not me weekend. Everything i didn't do~ I DID. Everything i did do~ I didn't! Tricky right.


I'm thinking about my next post. Sam tagged me for a honesty post. So
I'm thinking.

Not Me Monday

I'm so excited to back to work today. I couldn't imagine anything more wonderful then working so many hours for the great base rate of basically free. Thank goodness.



I did not sleep in late everyday while on my mini vacation. I did not drive to BWI airport with my best friends dad to pick her up from her flight in on Tuesday/Wednesday. Her flight was not an hour late which certainly did not push her landing time to 1:30 in the AM. She did not take forever to find her shit and we didn't get on the road back to york after 2 AM. I was not the least bit concerned that her dad was going to kill us on the way home. He was not the least bit tired from being up ALL DAY. and at no time did her veer into the other lane, nod off, or smack himself in the face to stay awake. My friend did not have diareira of the mouth, and she wasn't tiring to keep her father awake on the ride, because he was CLEARLY not falling asleep.



Before picking Kitty up we did not swing by the hotel he owns in Baltimore to "check" it out. While we were not cruising very slowly all around the parking lot peeking into the front lobby I did not say "I feel like we are casing the joint".



I did not have to squeeze myself into his spacious backseat and i had plenty of room to stretch out for the 1 hour 45 min ride home. It was at no point raining and icy. Thank god his Mercedes luxury car comes equipped with 4x4 (it doesn't).



Kitty and I did not hit up all the local hot spots while she was here. We certainly did not partake in the food at Isacas of Palasta. We did not make SEVERAL trips to Target and i did not let her give my gift to her cousin. The gift was not a huge hit like i knew it wouldn't be. I did not give Kitty the furry slipper like socks her mom gave me and she did not stow them away in her luggage today.



I wasn't the least bit mad that I didn't get the jersey i asked for AGAIN. And I'm completely over it. My brother didn't give me the SAME steelers blanket he gave me last year, that would have been awkward. My grandmother did not purchase me a gift basket with crest whitening strips, toothpaste and a tooth brush and I didn't stop smiling all night. I wasn't the least bit annoyed at that gift and couldn't wait to smile for photos after opening it.



I didn't log a lot of time with my friends and we didn't stay up til 2 int he morning reliving the "glory days". there was no gossiping about our old classmates and no ill will towards them. We didn't make fun or joke about any of the weird kids we went to school with and there certainly wasn't alcohol involved. We did not make a sheetz run at 2:30 in the am on the way home from Ms. PhD's and we certainly didn't witness 3 couples feeling each other up INSIDE the store.



I didn't return a few gifts and use the money to buy the last two presents I need to get. I didn't look high and low for a DVD of On the Line for preggers and I surely wouldn't have been disappointed if i couldn't find it.

Not me Monday

I've never done this but here goes. To check out more Not me Mondays go to http://www.mycharmingkids.net/

I did not spend all weekend helping my parents do more remodeling stuff. I have not spent 5 out of my last 6 weekends helping them remodel their house.

I did not buy a pint of Edy's Mint Chocolate ship brownie ice cream and I most certainly did not eat the whole container while playing on the computer and watching the hallmark channel.

I did not spend $66 on baking supplies and i certainly did not use my club card and clip coupons that would have saved me $25. I did not pile all my baking goods on the table and salivate over them.

I did not make plans with Mike to go on our annual Christmas shopping trip together, and I am differently not excited about that.

I'm not going to Julies tonight and will not see her and Pam, together, for the first time in over a month.

I didn't purchase two bottles of win yesterday for Julie and Keith's birthdays and i surely didn't buy them because the goat on the front of the bottle was cute. I did not then take the bottles home and wrap them in tissue paper and tie them with ribbons so it would look like I put way more effort into them then i did.

I did not go home last night and fall asleep watching America's most wanted. I did not watch Cops and laugh hysterically when the dog bite a guy trapped in a Mexican restaurant. I did not repeatedly say "I love this show".

I did not tell my brothers girlfriend that nothing less then a Steelers Jersey would be acceptable for my Christmas present, and I surely did not tell her of two stores at the mall where she could find one, and i really didn't express the number I wanted.

I did not spend all day Friday with my dad hanging the new chair rail in order to score a free dinner out of my mom. I didn't suggest we go to Chiles because of the cute guy that works there, and I didn't eat my whole yummy buffalo chicken fajitas. I didn't also score a free lunch from my dad for the same work.

I didn't learn how to lay linoleum tiles in my parents dinning room, and I didn't enjoy doing it.

I didn't whine about the temp. at Deaksters house until he got out the electric blanket. And i really didn't cover my eyes during parts of Cloverfield. I did not watch Cloverfield and I did not enjoy it more then i thought I would. I was not happy with that movie choice.

I'm not looking forward to my four days off this week and I'm not looking forward to Christmas.
