1. I use the same soap on my skin as I do on my dishes. Some people think that's weird, but I want to know what the hell do you put in your body that you need industrial strength detergents to get off your dishes?
2. No, I don't have six toes, it just looks like I do. And no, I have no idea why my foot looks like that but I assure you it is fully functional and perfectly normal. And perfectly adorable.
3. I try substituting the word "reality" for the word "issue" when I get annoyed with someone and I want to say that they have a (insert issue here) issue. It usually gives me a new perspective on the what the individual may be dealing with and why they may behave in a certain way. A mental health/alcohol/daddy reality is much more sobering and clinical sounding than a mental health/alcohol/daddy issue.
4. I love peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches, and I used to pack them in my lunch for school when I was a kid. As an aside, I refused to eat pickles or ice cream when I was pregnant. I thought it was tacky and cliche to do so.
5. Speaking of tacky, I spent last weekend in dresses and sandals. Usually I think open toed shoes in March is way gross but you know what? Fuggit. It was 75 degrees outside and I spent most of the hours outdoors and for all any of us could ever know I could have gotten hit by a bus on Monday morning and would have died knowing that I wasted a deliciously good two-day long summer vacation because age-old rules dictate that a lady doesn't show her hooves before tax day.

Oh, the Urbanity!
Wednesday Spaghetti
35 degrees {comments}:
Reality is a good, good, word.
Where did you get the pb&pickle from? I love them and people think I'm a crazy person...
Until they try it.
I've never had anyone who likes both pb and pickles dislike the combined product.
Show us the six-toed-looking but not really hooves.
I want pictures!
I am with Alix...show me!!! I find dish soap too drying for my skin so I use a wonderful smelling TDF bath gel. LOL!! It's by Red Door! Smells so good!! Pickles and peanut butter huh? Hmmmmmmmmm...I do like them both, but together?? Seriously???
Hugging you
SueAnn
My toes are dying to get into sandals! I'm jealous!
I love that you wrote fuggit.
I wore flip flops last week. The weather called for them and who I am to argue with the weather?
I want to wear a dress and sandles but it's still too bloody cold in London! x
i should try the pb/pix thing. sounds good. and i'm interested in the toe reality, too.
I have this reality (see what I did there?) with Dr. Bronner's...I used to use it and then one Saturday night I got incredibly trashed (and subsequently incredibly ill) on peppermint schnapps and now whenever I get a whiff of Bronner's my stomach is transported back to that evening and I start dry-heaving.
dr bronner should find a better picture to use on the main page. its just off-putting to see the mad scientist while introducing a different concept to body washing.
pb&j just called and told me they find mixing pickles and peanut butter offensive.
'fuggit' just made my list of awesome new words
-->I brush my teeth with hot/warm water. It works for your dishes/hair so why not your teeth?

LOVE IT!!!
okay, here's mine:
1) I watch way more reality TV than I will admit to.
2) I am a sloppy neat freak (my car is a disaster area)
3) I lie to friends and family alot to avoid confrontation.
4) I don't recycle cause my current apartment situation isn't conducive to it.
5) I think FARMVILLE is the stupidest thing EVER!
Dr. Bronner's is totally so fricking awesome.
And you're not so bad yourself. In fact, referring to feet as "hooves" just brought you to a new level of awesomeness in my heart.
Did kids make fun of your Pnb and pickle sandwich!! At least nobody wanted to trade! 75 degrees wow sounds awesome.
PB & Pickles. hmm...I just can't do it.
i have been debating on the open toed shoe thing. it's still just not quite warm enough here...but last weekend i almost did it. almost.
I have so many "realities", I don't where to start.
Peanut butter and dill? never tried that but i eat peanut butter and mayonnaise!
1. The way you do it is SO much better than using the same soap on your body that you do on your dishes.
3. This is one of the smartest things I've heard in a long time. Substituting 'reality' for issue or problem could change a lot in this world. Really.
Have you ever tried PB, bacon and chili sauce? The Source swears by it. I don't know about you weird PB people....
I like the reality instead of issues. I should try that sometime. I certainly have my own realities!
First - my grandpa used to like peanut butter and bacon. I like peanut butter and banana. and jelly. So I've been eating pb&jbb sandwiches - peanut butter & jelly with banana and bacon.
The girl at the sandwich shop where I buy my pb&jbb sandwiches told me she likes pb&jpc sanwiches. Peanut butter & jelly with potato chips. Further experimentation lead me to -- pb&jpcp sandwiches. And pcp is NOT drugs - it Potato Chips and Pickles. Specifically, ridge chips (like Ruffles) and dill sandwich slices - which are flat pickle slices done the LONG way.
I told you all that to tell you this - I don't know you, I've never met you, and therefore I would never be able to say (at this point, anyway) I love you - BUT - I can say I love at least one of your food choices.
And that's got to count for something. I'm just not sure what.
1. I might do something that will pretty much ruin my bloggy reputation.
2.I tell my husband that I like certain dishes that I make, but really I think they are gross and don't want to admit they are bad. Then I tell him I ate the leftovers for lunch, but really I throw the gross food out and I scarf down the kids mac and cheese.
3. I use dish soap in the dishwasher- I have perfected the perfect ratio so bubbles don't come out of the machine.
4. I feed off stress, some of my greatest ideas come when I am an anxious-stressed mess.
5. I watch Teen Mom. And I like it.
Okay I am so putting this on my blog, I haven't blogged in a week.
Psssssst!!!
You have an award waiting for you on my blog.
I am a proud mid-March sandals and skirt wearing lady. Whatever. Seize the day, I guess?

why does it look like you have six toes? it is because you really have SEVEN?
I have never heard of this no toes before X day in spring! perhaps it is an east coast thing? hmmmm....googling...
dr. bronners is bad ass except as a mouthwash. BUT all those word on the label make me think that the Dr. is trying convert/confuse/fuck with me
My toes will be out and on the town this weekend in the sunny, sunny south!
Hola Lora...
Swing by the Casa and pick up a little something in your honor, chica.
Bronner's is MAGIC! Love the lavender, and the peppermint is divine in the hot summer in a cold outside shower, brr!
I seem to recall seeing a photo of Oprah where it appeared she had six toes too if that makes you feel any better :D
I'm with the others, I want photos of these adorable hooves..
I love peanut butter and pickles, but not sure if I could handle them together. And I, too, want to know if you got picked on in school?
Yeah for sandles and dresses. I finally wore one the other day and will this weekend also! So happy spring is FINALLY here. I love your reasoning. Who knows what tomorrow holds!
Hey Miss Thing!
Thanks for the comment on my "what if" post...
I'm holding my own these days. Yeah the ever changing temps of this time of year are a bitch for us fibro folk. And now I've got the whole knee thing. I just keep poppoing Ibuprophen every 4 hours. And the occassional glass of wine helps too.
You? What's your coping method of choice?
I'd like to see that six toed foot, too. Maybe you were one of Hemmingway's cats in a previous life. They had extra toes...just in case you didn't know.
However, what I really wanted to say is that Tacky is as Tacky does and you are just not tacky. And the white shoe rule is after Easter you can wear them or patent leather, or white patent leather. It has been a while, but I'm positive no white after Labor Day.
I like the idea of 5 facts in 5 minutes.
By the way, I enjoyed a recent post so much that I linked it:
http://theresamilstein.blogspot.com/2010/03/dancing-queen.html
dill and peanut butter - GAG! To each his own though - I love peanut butter n' jelly with cool ranch doritos - seriously obsessive about it. Now that I've discussed it I will fixate on it until I have them again.
I wore flip flops yesterday to get some ice cream and honestly it felt great.. minus the fact that my toe nails aren't painted and I missed two stray hairs on the top of my foot shaving... otherwise it was great to let my puppies breathe!
