Why?

Kitchen Sink | Posted by Jannie on 1 March 2009 @ 11:44 AM 46 Comments

photo credit: news.com.au
1.  Why does an hour of blogging seem like 5 minutes but an hour of barre chord practice seem like 5 hours?
2. Why, when there are 20 (I kid you not,) of my husband’s salad dressings in the fridge, does he usually polish off my only favorite – the Newman’s Balsamic Vinaigrette?
3.  Why does same (wonderful, loving,) husband still ask me where the scissors, stapler and pens are – when I’ve kept them in the same location for almost 19 years?
4.  Why hasn’t my hair, except for the bangs, gotten noticeably longer since I last had it cut at Great Clips six months ago?

5.  Why do I live in hope I’ll find some thong underwear that are actually comfortable?

6.  And why, oh why, are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?

    Awesome song, by the way. Now I want to listen to it. Sorry that the husband used your favorite dressing. That’s one of my favorites too!!

    I understand! Blogging time flies frighteningly by… I also love the Newman’s Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, and I just told my husband (of 19 years) where the scotch tape is located (where it’s been located… for 19 years), AGAIN.

    1. Because Blogging is not fun and practing is. (or is it that reversed??_

    2. Because it’s a food product so he’s got to make sure he as the last drop. (typical of males)

    3. In case you moved them like his mother did when he was a boy and got into things he wasn’t suppose to. Males never recover.

    4. Your foreheadi shorter than your whole head/body if you look like an average human. If you’re a space alien, no clue.

    5. Just don’t wear any underwear. Go with a fig leaf.

    6. That’s because those little people think if we are more focused on writting/singing/writing/listening to those songs we’ll forget to go find thier hidden gold at the end of said rainbow.

    Jannie, you ask too many questions. Why, why, why? :-) You could probably write a separate post to share what your answers would be to those questions. That would be fun… at least for me to read.

    Lol, when I read Caity’s comment at the top about the “song” I scrolled back to the picture of Kermit and clicked on it. I thought there was a download of your latest creation waiting. – ha, ha, ha.

    Jannie, have you tried “Brazilian” thongs? Much more comfortable, in my opinion. Those Brazilians know their underwear… :)

    And I, too, must point out the location of various objects in my house that have never moved yet are seemingly invisible to my husband. Must be some kind of X-Y chromosome difference… :)

    Caity: Isn’t it a beautiful song? I heard Jason Mraz’s version on Youtube today. Do you know and like Jason Mraz?? After my big little show in May I’d like to learn that one to play. The Newman’s dressing — it’s not so much that he used that dressing – hey I’m more than willing to share, but it was that he emptied it. boo hoo, poor little Jannie (insert fake tears here.)

    Chris! (Nice to call you Chris on here.) Wow, 19 years for you too? How did you guys meet? Actually it’ll be 19 years of togetherness for us in July. And just celebrated our 17 year wedding anniversary. I’m thinking of keeping the scotch tape right in the middle of the kitchen countertop. Think?

    Shay: after reading onthe Net the other day that sugar ages you I’ve been so depressed, as I’m the self-professed Sugar Lady. Do you have a sweet tooth?

    Cindy: Yes, computer times just flies when you’re having fun at it. This past week I’ve averaged may be 1 or 1.5 hours a day at it, so I’ve really cut back ’cause of working my fingers to the guitar bone (literally on those barre chords.) Do you have a favorite recipe site to recommend?

    Karyn: I love HAVING practiced guitar! It does get so long soemtimes but I know it what I need to do to take me where I want to go. Arrg on my Newman’s balsamic vinagrette being polished off (sniff, sniff, boo hoo.) Ah yes, his mother – God rest her beautiful soul — I suppose since they did move a few times that must’ve messed him up forever with the tape and such. I actually do have a very high forehead camouflaged by those freakish bangs that are due for a perm but I’ll probably hold off unti 3 weeks before my big little show. And there were 8 hours one day in 1979 I have never able to account for… (Twilight zone music playing here.) I usually don’t wear any!!! Oh shoot way TMI. (Insert innocent-sounding whistling here.) And number six!! That’s gotta be it!! Its’all a plot to keep us away from the treasure. Why didn’t I think of that??? And Karyn, you went way above and beyond on this comment – thanks ;)

    Aimee: Wow, that makes what… 4 of us so far judging by these comments who love that dressing. ME too – I used to like his regular than tried the balsamic vinaigrette and that was it for me! I still can’t believe Paul Newman is gone, can you? And it will be a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad day for me when Clint Eastwood dies. Jim and I saw “Grand Turino” last light. You see it yet? Holy cow, it was one freaking great movie.

    Davina: Yeah I need to start doing some Youtube or something more creative. And I will! But I signed up for Twitter under jannifunster the other day !!! Wow, am I somebody now – or what??? Are you on Twitter? As to “Whys..” I actually started the Armani Condom Heart in this post but got a little more in depth with it and carried it into one whole post. In retrospect I may have done just as well leaving it as one of thse passing ruminations. Think?

    Lisa: I will inquire about the Brazilian thongs. I totally will. Thanks for the info. I might as well go Brazilian all the way, eh.. ahem… ;) I wonder how they are different from other thiongs? I do so love “Grannie” panties for comfort. And I had a girdle once I flung to the trees. have you ever tried that with your girdle? It can be raised to an artform.

    Cat Mad: Bloomers! Now there’s an idea. Just as long as we don’t have to revert to “dress shields too. What in the hell were those, anyway? Actually, forget about answering that. Just tell me how you like living there in your Southern Hemisphere country. And if I visit, what’s a must see / do??

    Thomman Lyn: Kermit is my hero. And as I mentioned to Caity I want to learn that, can’t be more than 3 chords and a very easy rhythm. maybe someday you and I can play it together! Men – such loveable wonderful lumps.

    1. Because it makes your fingers hurt and by human nature we will do more to avoid pain than we will to gain pleasure, including playing time/mind games with ourselves.
    2. Because you buy them (hoping to distract him from your ONE favorite perhaps?) or allow them to stay longer than is useful when he buys them…you need to set some dressing boundaries…heh…but be happy that the source of annoyance with your husband is merely salad dressing!
    3. Your husband values your input (voice) more than the office tools maybe?
    4. Hair grows faster in the spring and summer than in the fall and winter. Or else, you don’t notice the long hair growing as much as the short hair when the longer hair is BEHIND your head the short hair is in FRONT of your eyes…heh.
    5. If you find comfortable thongs…let me know. I’ve decided that boi shorts can be sexy…really…lol
    6. I’m figuring that angels are on the other side of those rainbows…because there sure are a lot of songs that mention them too!

    I love that salad dressing, my other favorite is BoatHouse honey mustard yogurt dressing (low calorie too)…and it must be a guy thing about using up the favorite dressing – tho’ sometimes my Honey gets stuck on 1000 island!

    With the kids gone, I just rearranged the kitchen so that it makes sense for me – I do most of the cooking. So Now my honey puts everything back where it has been for 20 years….and I can not reach it….no lie, at 11pm last week when he came home from work he got out all the children’s and childish plates from the shelf way up tall…and squeezed them back into the bowl and glass cupboard, which I can reach.

    I have decided to just let these things pass by and move on down the road….and he hasn’t noticed that I stopped vacuuming everyday and now do it only about 2 times a month…I don’t have dust allergies and all those that do are never home? Why should I?

    nice post…thank you for the up lift!

    Jannie,
    I swear you’re gonna hit it big someday. I just emailed you but I have another idea. (not that you asked) After you video yourself at yourshows begin posting them on You Tube TV. OMG if you include your humor in the show people are going to line up to see you!
    Now for your answers.

    no.1 I don’t know.

    2. Because he thinks he’s going to want the others because they sound good to him when he is shopping. Then when he’s actually ready to eat he grabs your favorite because it’s his favorite too.

    3. Because men were made to drive us crazy they know we’ll love them anyway.

    4. Beats me!

    5. This is an important one! Try Hanky Pankies. There expensive but you’ll love them! I bet you could find them on sale on line somewhere. Ya gotta love the name. All my daughters where them!

    6.Because we all love rainbows and dreaming!

    That is a really good question about men and asking us where stuff is. Way back Roseanne Barr said something about the uterus being a homing device – maybe she was onto something.

    And I don’t think there is such as thing as a comfortable thong … bras are pretty uncomfortable too.

    Hi Jannie,

    I’ll take that balsamic vinaigrette also!

    Why is it that if I don’t take the last of something – but leave just a little – my wife thinks this is wrong????

    Why can’t the stapler be big, and have a motor – then we’d remember where it was.

    Why has my hair turned gray in too many spots? I think it’s from trying to find that damned stapler…

    Why do I love visiting here so much?

    (you’re great Jannie!…even if you continue to hide the scissors, and send subliminal message to your husband to get him in trouble)

    Weyrd1: My poor widdle pingers – iz all sore. But that’s not gonna stop me from getting those chords down. Yes, a small annoyance. Maybe I’ll pour the dressing in a non-see-through bottle marked “beets,” he hates beets. Ah yes, my hubby craaves teh sound of my dulcet voice! I”m gonna tty those Brazilian ones – maybe they’re invisible?

    Patricia: I had a bad experience with BoatHouse dressing a couple of years back, I tripped over a bottle of their ranch at a picnic the day I was supposed to see Queen Elizabeth in Boston, ended up breaking an arm and a leg. Kind of a touchy subject for me as I was to have received the Medal of Advanced Vacuuming that day. (I was up to vacuuming 4 times a day.)

    Tess: You just e-mailed me? What?! My salad dressing pilferer mustvbe deleted it. That’s another thing he does. Hanky Pankies?? I’m totally going to Google those too. I’ll spare no expense to be finally free of a wedgie.

    Cindy: Allrecipes, got it – thanks! Might actually make me cook something.

    Talon: You bring you and your sillies here ANYDAY, ANYTIME!! Speaking of the sillies, the cat’s going crazy with the window blind again. He’s so playful in the morning.

    Kim: As many people know, I wear sports bras 24 / 7 and when I’m not flinging them into the trees, I find them very very comfortable. Roseann Barr’s line is hilarious. Wonder why she gave up stand-up? Probably because her $100,000,000 in the bank meant she might not have to work ever again.

    Vered: I have not tried the ranch, just ca’nt get past the balsamic vinaigrette, it’s even been responsible for Kelly loving salad.

    Robbi: A teeth for a tooth, eh? And what would you do in your life as a spoon? I would love to know that!

    Snag: Ba ba ba, ba ba. Ba ba ba, ba. There! I’m learning the song, easy as pie-cakes. Have you really made your own undies?

    SNAG!!! YOU DARLING!!!!! You went above and beyondthe call on tis one. And I just love the key of C, some say BORING but I say PURE and FINE as a key! This is totally cool. Thanks.

    Lance! And you all rest, I’ll have to get back to you as I need to get The Child to school.

    Jannie — Great list of “why” questions. I now really want to try the Newman’s Balsamic Vinaigrette! I also identify with the hair issue. There’s no easy way to let a very short haircut, which a stylist convinced me would be perfect, to grow out nicely. Such is life.

    My WHY question is: Why are there so many great blogs to read and never enough time.

    Kermit is a lovable soul. Murphy’s Law explains it all. Another way to look at your list is that somewhere, deep inside, your feelings undermine what you really want. When you think and verbalize what you do not want, you channel powerful energy in directions to manifest that. To consciously and consistently say what you truthfully want and to dissolve thoughts of anything to the contrary, invites you to learn to discipline the mind. Consolation is by experiencing what you do not want, you raise awareness to move closer to what you thought you wanted. In essence, you want exactly the experiences you have. You send energy vibes and the universe responds. Mirroring your thoughts and desires is all it ever does.

    Sooo, where was I?

    Oh yes.

    Lance: That is one popular salad dressing. It is just sooo tasty. Ah, that stapler with a motor – now you’re talking! lol. Your whole comment made me laugh. Thanks. I bet with your blonde that grey hair looks super.

    Sheila: Now, what teh hcek was number 3? You’re making me look. (Bad memory here, very slow.) Oh yeah – the uterus item location device. Yeah, you’ll be the second to be informed if I reach enlightment on that. And yes, since the tags can’t be put back on. they should be thrown out right away. I’m guilty of that. Thank for the lesson!

    K: That’s it! Keeping it spicy. All to be revealed in the great fullness of time.

    Lane: My Lane, you still love me! I’ll be back to FFTL soon, I promise.

    Nikki: Just a little collection of ramblings I gathered. Might even go so far as to say collections of whinings. Ah, definitely whinings.

    Mama Z: I think I’ll be doing the Brazilian test, maybe even post about it.

    Patricia: My arm and leg have healed nicely but I’ll never get over not seeing the Queen. I did see her in ‘72. She was in yellow gabardine. And we had ham sandwiches on white bread and oranges for lunch, me and my school chums bussed in that is. I imagine the Queen had a little something fancier.

    Sara: A big question on my mind these day too – why so many wonderful blogs and only 24 hours a day??

    Carla: I’m really going to work on the thong underwear quest. But the rest — yes, great rhetorical enigmas of this wondrous world.

    Liara: Holy cow! I totaly love it when you come over here. I’ts like the Maharishi himself on my doorstep. So I should stash 10 bottles of the Newman’s in the cupboard and stop my bitching? Or learn to love whatever dressing I am blessed enough to find? And I’ve actually been kinda digging the barre chord work lately as it’s actually starting to sound like music. I must send my love to the universe and I will get comfy thong underwear? Okay I’m joshing here, but yes, I must send and think thoughts that invite what I actually do want. THANK YOU!

    Evelyn: Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
    And rainbows have nothing to hide.
    So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
    I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
    Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
    The lovers, the dreamers and me.

    One beautiful song!

    Universe – bring me sweet sleep and tell me where my missing voice recorders are. And send comfy thongs. Thanks.

    Whys, Becuzes, and More Whys

    1. Is a barre chord like a bear chord or a bare cord?
    Blogging is infectious, probably some kind of alein virus that worms its way into us. Once we are infected we lose perspective. Practicing music is of the real world, and often mundane, tedious, hard, and necessary, and never as much fun as hanging out at Funsterland.
    2. Speaking as a man, I tell you we like variety, we need spice in life, choices, alternatives. But, alas, since we love our wives, at some point we have to constantly realize that her choices for everything, especially food, are always the most pleasurable.
    3. There is a rumor that only women can muliti-task, but that is such BS. Men can spread their consciousness like pyschic peanut butter all over the place. Your husband has so many things cooking at once in that marvelous head of his, he just can’t be bothered “remembering” dumb stuff. In addition, I think he knows very well where the scissors, stapler, and pen are–he just has a wicked sense of humor and likes to repeat this little ritual with you to see your reaction; and/or he thinks it makes you feel more important to be the mistress of such things, and therefore he includes you in the process.
    4. I think the misconception about hair length has to do with the incessant bra flinging you engage in. As you fling the undies, this bounces the hell out of the back of your hair, stunting its growth Your bangs grow faster cuz you are putting them in curlers all the damned time, and stretching them out.
    5. Gay men wear thongs too. They call them butt floss. Perhkaps if your wore your sports bra as a thong, it would be comfortable. Or wear nothing, get a Brazilian one, or a Hanky Panky as suggested by other Funsterites.
    6. Every once in a while, if your are at sea, or on the desert, where the horizon line is infinite, you see both ends of the rainbow. That will freak you out. The pot of gold myth was created to bolster the Irish blues from living so poor, and eating too many potatoes. Rainbows have an end, and birds fly over them, and frogs connect to them, but I didn’t know they had an “other side”. Maybe that’s the backside, the butt of the rainbow that we never see because it is plain and colorless, and disappates in thin air before we can rush over and check it out.

    As to “Whys”,well maybe we all have a list of them.
    1. Why do other drivers feel the need to pass you on the freeway, only to cut you off, and slow down in front of you?
    2. I have a red vehicle, an Isuzu pickup. We do birds like to crap on it. I try and park it away from light poles and trees, but the little winged rats still seek it out, and drop their turd bombs on it every day.
    3. Now that the country is on recession for sure, why do the oil barons allow us to buy gasoline at a cheaper rate?
    4. Why do some doctors smoke?
    5. Why do young girls smoke mini-cigars?
    6. Why do women need 10% more time to make up their minds, and make decisions? Men can rapid fire off their opinions and reap the consequkences.
    7. After a woman has used the toilet, why does her pee smell 20 times stonger than a man’s?
    8. Why does ice cream still seem appetizing in sub-zero weather?
    9. Why do women make better family doctors? Perhaps it is their smaller hands, or their short skirts, or their honest compassion?
    10. Why does my lovely wife, when confronted with conflict, just shut down, and refuse to continue to work it out? All a man needs is emotional closure; one way or the other.
    11. As a general rule, why are more famous chefs men?
    12. Why do our youth destroy their hearing with plugged in ipods and blasting boom boxes, and 37 woofers in their cars?
    13. Why is rap music still vogue? It never really had merit,and it certainly is not music. Alley cats make better harmony.

    And probably some other whys too, but I will stop for now.

    Your post made me smile. :-)

    And makes me wish I could paddle around aimlessly in a pink rowboat, serenaded by a frog.

    Have a great rest of the week, Jannie!

    Mia: Isn’t it like, one of the bestest songs ever imagined and brought to fruition?? Husbands – wonderful creatures, but with maybe 4 or 5 basic topics they think about.

    J.D. I thought it was oatmeal and carrots, blended into a paste that make hair grow. But green beans will I try too. Actually I had some last nkght in my Swanson’s Hungry Jan dinner. Pot at the end of the rainbow – methinks it be a treasure map, directed to YOUR site!!

    Belle: The Holy Grail a mere day at the beach compared to knowing the inner workings of the male mind. Speaking of whom, how is Groucho today?

    Glenn: Bare barre chords are the best! You men better not like “variety” when it comes to your true womanly loves in life. Actually you hit #3 right on the head on the first try – Jim’s head is swarming, teeming with a million thoughts at once. My hair – yes, I’ve noticed when I fling my bra it does often catch on the rat’s nest some would consider the back of my hair. I MUST be more careful. I’ll let ya know how the undie venture goes. I’ve looked at rainbows from bot sides now, from East to West and still somehow… it’s rainbows’ illusions I recall. In fact, I really don’t know rainbows at all.

    As your your whys.. those drivers are often wishing to cash in on insurance, a whole stump-and-dump tactic, or soem such other thing so BE CAREFUL out there!!! In ancient days, birds’ toilets were red. #3 I have NO FREAKING CLUE. Doctors semoke ’cause theier daddies pushed them into the profession. As to all the rest I have no freaking clue either, except on maybe the chef question, it relates to the rapid-fire decsiion making aforementioned. Teh frying pan is on fire – should I put a lid on it now, or go fluff up the windowseat pillows?

    Shay: I think your toofs and everything on you is sweet.

    Jewel: I can arrange the frog serenading – just come to Austin and it shall be my greatest pleasure to fulfil this wish of yours.

    Wade: I think it is an X Y thing. Or maybe an X Y Z thing?

    1 – Because blogging doesn’t hurt your hands.
    3 – It’s never been important enough for him to memorize because he knows he can always ask you.
    5 – I can’t believe ANYone wears thongs and figure they deserve what they get. Several people in the supermarket were watching when I laughed so hard I almost fell down. What made me laugh so hard? Kotex pads for thongs.

    Funny stuff!

    lol – i am not the best person to ask about things to do – i don’t do much – there are so many poisonous spiders, snakes, jellyfish, sharks, bush fires, floods, droughts, insects, creepy crawlies, bats, mosquittos carrying dengue fever – I am happiest walled up in a nice safe hotel room with books.

    Everybody says Tasmania is beautiful, Melbourne has great shopping and music, Sydney has the opera house and bridge and some nice bars, Queensland crocodiles beachs and rainforests, so much – lots to see – big country.

    Seriously, there must be a ban on those songs. Funny songs like bra-flinging and such must be promoted, what say? :) ))

    Dot: Yeah, I’ve seen those pads for thongs – weird eh. Nice comment, thanks! Sorry it’s taken me a few days to get over here. Another stupid migraine, but I’m very very well now.

    Mad Cat: I’m totally with you on a nice hotel room and books. Er, make that a laptop.

    Rhett: I love that song!! I think my next one will have to be about flinging bras – yes!!
