Am I The Only One…? (2)
Kelp Knitting, Mysteries | Posted by Jannie on 27 April 2010 @ 11:08 PM 50 Comments
1 … who learned that Keri bath oil tastes nothing like mouthwash? Not even remotely. Yuck. Took 2 days of brushing my tongue 10 times a day to get rid of that perfumey soapy residue.
2 … who has at least 3 pairs of scissors in the house and cannot find a fricking one of them!?!?
3 … who has at least 3 pairs of reading glasses in the house and cannot find a fricking one of them!?!? (Had I been wearing my glasses, I may not have mistaken the bath oil for mouthwash.)
4 … who has not painted my toenails in over 6 months? (Most of you men are excluded here.) With Texas now in the mid-80s every day, it’s gittin’ on time to shine up the olde toesies. (Maybe even go wild and shave my legs.)
5 … who sometimes actually kneels on the floor at my desktop computer to type, so I won’t disturb the cat sleeping on the chair?
6 … who spent my hair root dye money on champagne?
7 … who spent my running shoe money on gas and groceries?
8 … who can’t pass by a rosemary bush without smooshing some of that wonderful smell onto my fingers to enjoy all day? (Sometimes when no one’s around I rub my whole body on a rosemary bush.)
9 … who can’t pass by a set of wind chimes without giving them a good ol’ tinkle? (a lengthy process in the wind chime section of larger stores.)
speaking of tinkling…
10. Am I the only one who finds this having-to-pee-all-the-time business majorly inconvenient to my busy lifestyle? I mean, I’d be a much more productive blogger, kelp bikini knitter and songwriter without this constant running to the loo.
And a bonus…
11… Am I the only one who worries I might be getting lopsided because I often prop up my left leg on the armrest as I drive, like this…
And this…
I think my left leg is a teeny bit slimmer than my right because of all this flinging-up. More stretched out. Should I maybe spend the next 30 years in a right-hand-drive car, so I can fling my right leg up and get evened out?
Just wondering. On all. 
P.S. The hand sanitizer in the top photo has nothing to do with this post, other than to make that nice appealing trio. (except darnit — it was crooked on the library scanner.)
Oh! I did post a first batch of these crazy meanderings a few months ago. And boy — how did I ever live with such small photos back in them thar dark ages?!

I haven’t tried the bath oil, but I once mistook crayons for pretzels and, yes, they taste exactly like they smell. Yuck! And I can never find the scissors, even when I just had them in my hand. I think they play hide-and-seek with me.
Oh joy, oh joy, and today I think I completely trashed my lovely website, so… yeah. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s done such a thing.
On 27 April 2010 at 11:19 pm Talon said,
lol! I need glasses to find my glasses so I can relate to that!
Do you drive with one hand? Because I’m wondering how you’re propped-up leg wouldn’t interfere with your arms…
We had two warm days a few weeks ago and I painted my toenails so pretty and it’s been cold ever since…sigh…
You know if you have enough champagne, your roots won’t even matter

I haven’t painted my toenails in over 6 months either, but planning on doing it real soon. Time to break out the sandals. I also kneel on my floor at the computer sometimes to type. Except, there’s no sleeping cat on my chair. I’m just weird, lol.

I prop my leg up all the time, too, Jannie! (Is this even legal? Oh well, it’s comfortable at any rate)
I need myself a good wind chime. My toenails are painted, though, color of sunset. Sandals time and all that.
Have a great rest of the week!! xoxo

Yep! Cute post! Thanks for the giggle- oh the things we do while groggy n without glasses…
One time I squirted decongestion nose drops in my eye… Cleared it up clean as a whistle with no damage tho! (Whew-) Sleeping cats know we can’t get them out of our chairs, so I eat standing most times. You have rosemary bushes? I’m happy when mine get 8″ tall! i have windchimes in here to keep me from running into the beam… n hit them alot by accident!
The pee thing is killer stuck on the work machine with no breaks- btw- No leg-lifts while driving with two feet…

HA HA HA! Kneeling on the floor to type so you won’t disturb the cat really made me laugh!

Hi Jannie – I’ve never met an arm rest (either in a car or a living room) that I haven’t wanted to drape my leg over. It’s like stationary ballet! LOL For sure it’s the closest I’ll ever get to a ballet barre.
Wind chimes. Our grocery store has a cluster of them and a smart, marketing-oriented employee positioned a table fan in just the right spot so they would tinkle away. It’s very calming when you go down the baking aisle.
And now that champagne is a daily occurrence for me, it’s probably fair to say other purchases are back-burnered, hair dye not one of them, though.

no no no ..you are not the only one…lolol…I used to put my foot out window near rear view mirror when driving…so much fun…!!…and the scissors..same here..and once we mistook prep h for toothpaste…not good..I tell ya..!..you are a riot girl..!..i always have toe polish on though, cuz I wear flip flops all year…I do need a new coat though..!!
On 28 April 2010 at 7:36 am Lynn said,
(Wiping eyes from laughing)… Jannie Junebug! How fun was this! #4 – I had a pedicure last October and that was it until about two weeks ago. I had finally taken off the remnants of the old polish and put on open toes shoes that morning. My boss said, “Uh Lynn – maybe you might want to stop for a pedicure before your meeting this afternoon.”
Twist my arm! I went. The nail tech asked me if I wanted my legs waxed. It was sort of like gang grooming that day. (No leg waxing for me – ouch.)
On 28 April 2010 at 7:44 am Mia @ Finding Balance said,
LOL. I distinctly recall kneeling so as not to disturb a slumbering feline when I had my cats; I’m certain my legs and body will be lopsided due to armrest driving, not to mention my back probably needs more visits at the chiropractor because of it…and the people who work in stores with wind chimes are definitely happier when I leave. LOL. Have a great day!

In too many ways to mention, YOU are the only one! You are an original. Jannie Junebug, for sure. June is my birth month, on Flag Day, I say. And June is the month I retire. And June is the month I get ready for a three week road trip with my wife; gonna make it to Lake Superior, drop down to Texas, swing by Colorado, and Wyoming on the way home.
1. My brother holds the record for bleary-eyed morning mistakes. He brushed his teeth with Preparation H; had the prettiest pinkest gums in town for weeks.
2. We keep scissors in a specific place at our domicle. Since my three daughters left the nest, we are able to find things we put in their specific places. Perhaps Kelly or BB have something to do with the missing scissors; or you have poltergeists, who are more mischievous than BB.
3. When you wear glasses habitually, one can carry the reading add around with them everywhere. In your case, only needing dime store readers to salve your presbyopia, you should buy a dozen pairs of your +1.50’s, in assorted colors to match all your outfits; then buy a dozen more in keep them in your bra drawer, so that you will look at them daily, and have a stash for when you need them.
4. My lovely frau does have her toe nails painted by some gal up the road, who massages her feet for her; the pedicure experience is quite pleasurable I am told. Real men just let nature and fungi have their way with our toe nails, but we do wear pink shirts on occasion, and eat keesch like crazy several times a month.
5. Our cat, old tom Keezie Motto, does take over desk chairs and computer chairs, but we are mean owners, and we unceremoniously just lift him out, and place him on some other article of furniture, or pillow. He complains for a few minutes before returning to his cat nap.
6. Now that I am turning into a silver fox, I have considered having my hair dyed that Brad Pitt blond, although then I would have to wear Ray Bans, drive a Lexus, and adopt 9 kids from have not countries.
7. After you have your toe nails redecorated, the answer for this one is to run barefoot, though avoid getting pregnant, drive a hybrid car, and eat less.
8. We don’t have rosemary bushes in the Northwest, or if we do I have not been formally introduced to any. I like to walk up to a low hanging branch on a fir tree and smoosch up some needles, and sniff my fingers; for it smells just like
Christmas every time I inhale, and the smell stays on your skin for hours.
9. We have a set of wind chimes made from buffalo bones, and they sound great when they tinkle; much better than the neighbor’s aluminum chimes which sound like cats in heat as they jiggle.
10. To pee a lot is healthy, so they say; means you are well hydrated, and your innards are processing out the poisons you have ingested; plus it keeps your figure slim, by peeing away all the excess fats and sugars you accumulate from snarfing down all that beer and those donuts, my dear.
11. Your left leg lifting syndrome, LLLS, is the by-product of doing way too much yoga while listening to Jannie Funster sing about wedgies, motorcycle cops, and her insatiable need for a man. Get a pair of ear plugs, and have Daddy Jim get you a stick shift vehicle to keep the left leg occupied; as one commentor has implied.
And so concludes another fine morning’s visit to the Princess of Mirth, the Mayor of Funsterville’s mind. Some smart business man there in Texas should be monitoring this blog, and offer to give you your own Cable TV hour; start out maybe a half hour; Jannie’s Joint, or Funsterville Follies. You could perform one song each show, like Ricky Nelson used to do on Ozzie and Harriet; you could tell jokes, make up little video tours of all the cool places you run and hang out; Jim’s Austin Car Barn could be one of the sponsors. Kelly could have a spot on each show–and of course BB could be fully animated, and have some feet drawn in for him.

Anne, dear Anne!! I am well familiar with the taste of crayons, but I can’t quite remmeber where or when.
Funny about the scissors in your hand, I am so like that with pens. And I was sooooooo relieved to see last night that your wole blog hadn’t been wiped out. And I just zipped over to see you have your theme back. YAYY!!!!!
Talon, dear Talon!! I LOVE your take on the champagne, good attitude. The only problem of imbibing mass quantities, is I’d wake up with a hangover and still have my brownish roots.
And in honor of your excellent question about whether or not my leg gets in teh way of my arms while driving, I have inserted another photo to demonstrate just how I do it. (And when my right hand is not snapping photos of my legs, it too is often on the wheel. 
Davina, dear Davina. Currently I’ve no sandals. Strap broke on the ones I wore last year. So this alternating between my walking shoes (as shown in pic one of me driving,) and my black clogs (left one shown in my photo edit to Talon below,) let’s me get away with no toe paint so far. Speaking of which, I will start preparing my cuticles today, a 3 day process to a Perfect Pedicure. Must prepare that bed first! Okay, picturing you kneeling at your computer desk, even tho no cat graces your chair. You could do buttock tucks then! Do ou? Multitask!
Jewel, dear Jewel! Yes, I think it is legal. ?? Yes, and very comfortable. But driving with no shoes is illegal, I guess. (I do that sometimes, but please don’t tell. I flling my shoes on the floor on the passenger side of the car. Maybe we “shorter” gals are more inclined towards the old leg fling-prop? Hot dang — I should put up one of my famous polls to find out!
I bet your toes are lovely! Will you post a photo of them??
Mad Cat Lady, dear Mad Cat Lady!! Well, the horrid liquid only went as far as the back of my tongue until the truth set in. Gross, gross, gross! It was a couple weeks ago now, so the trauma has faded considerably.
SnaggleTooth, Dear SnaggleTooth, I bet your eyes were lovely and undecongested from that. What else did I do once? Put foot cream on my toothbrush, I think. That cat can be so finicky I fear disturbing him from his joyful slumber he may be mad at me for a day. Or longer.
Yes, rosemary grows big here in many gardens. I have a few in mine Mom and Dad helped me plant in 1998. Or at least I did have them. Haven’t checked the far end of the yard in a while! 
Ah, good idea on the windchimes. A low beam eh? Sounds very quaint. That sucks about you not getting pee breaks, bet you keep your liquid intake down at work? Funny, but in 1995 when my penpal Christine was here from France and we drove to New Orleans, I’d put the old Chev on cruise — and put both my legs up on the dash on the highway. Oh my freaking God did we LAUGH over that when she looked over to see me like that when I first did it!!!! 
Gonna post this, take a little break, then come back for the rest of you.

I’m sure I have at least a half dozen scissors in the house and still can’t find them when I need them…of course if I don’t, then they’re always around. And me too…thinking about painting those toe nails again.

…
Daisy, dear Daisy, have you ever done something like that so a sleeping cat would not be disturbed??
Are your toenails all lovely?
Betsy, dear Betsy, leg draping is such a fabulous ballet pose to enjoy. At least in an armchair we can do equal justice to both legs.
My eyes thought they read “banking” aisle first in your comment. Ahh, the baking aisle — my absolute favorite, followed by the beer one. 
Ahh, you know you inspired the title for one of the new songs I’m creating… “Let’s Drink Up The Stars” Yep!! Your champagne post did it. What brand you drinking?? I bet your hair is absolutely stunning, Darling!! You do your own roots too?
Robin, dear Robin!! I do the foot-out-the window thing too! I forgot about that. Ahh, flop-flops all year, yes you warm weather lucky one you.
And thanks again for letting me know about the blog link I need to correct!
Well Lynn, dear Lynn, I am SO glad you had joyous feelings over this little post!! And believe it or not, I’ve alreay got anohter 2 whole posts of these lined up.
Seriously!! Wow, I never thought that yes, one could actually TAKE off the old polish instead of letting it just grow out as mine did. I think by mid-Feb it was all gone. 
Oook never had my legs waxed, and most likely never will. 
Actually I did shave mine a couple times since the first of the year. 
Post a pic of your divine toes?? 
What color are they? The nail paint, I mean? I assume your toes are about the same color as mine, but probably with less hair on them. 
Mia, dear Mia — that IS YOU!!!! Yay! I clicked over. Beautiful new site you have!! I will read later. Oh no, another lopsided one — but I’ve seen you in a bikini picture and you obviously have it going on — majorly!! So your good looks deceive your need of chiropractor services.
See you soon, windchime wondergal!
SUZEN — DEAR SUZEN!!!! I GOT YOU ON ONE!!!!! Remember last time, you had nary so much as approached a single one of my vast imperfections??
But even your so-called “vise” is absolute perfection. Lanvendar, eh? Is that a perennial where you live? You mom did well, O Virgo Mooned one. Very very well indeed.
Friends, forgive me but I must slip away from computer for a while. A bit of a teeny headache is trying to get to me today, so I am off now to kick its hiney.

Okay – those leg shots are just completely wrong!!! There’s no way my legs would bend that way…and if they did…they wouldn’t un-bend!!!
Hey – not only haven’t you not painted your toenails – from the photos – not your fingernails either! No worries though – neither have I. Nor have I shaved my legs. And hey – that car of yours looks just like our minivan!! Is it green, too, on the outside????

Haven’t had a decent pedicure since a mountain climbing epic took the entirety of the toenails from my two big toes. (Last summer, Mt. Rainier) I look longingly at what used to be kinda cute and think, “Maybe someday”.
Black nail polish with white hibiscus flowers stenciled in just MIGHT hide some of the damage.

I have learned the hard way to never ever lend my scissors to anyone in the house, particularly a child. They can claim all day they won’t lose them, and I won’t believe it anymore.

My headache is gone, whoo-hoo!!
Glenn, Dear Glenn, your comment is majorly funny.Are ya coming thru Austin on your hike? I am wearing 1.25 glasses, but could move up any minute!
If I move Kitty off the chair he may boycott me for a day or two. I do love pines too, I miss them. It’s always the first thing I notice when I exit the airport in Nova Scotia — the smell of pine. And I’m home! Alas, I believe I shall have to prove myself for a 30 minutes show. I’ll be sure to get a bubble machine for it like Lawrence Welk had.
Dot, Dear Dot, I guess air freshener would be better than say, oven cleaner.
But of course you wold never have oven cleaner in the bathroom. Or would you? 
Sire, Dear Sire, what will happen to me if I drive the car like that??
Will I burst into flames? Start frothing at the mouth? Break into show tunes? Wait! I already break into show tunes regularly. 
G-Man, Dear G-Man, um number 4, let me check… Ah yes, the old toe paint / leg shaving tricks. Are your toesies looking fabulous these days??
Carla, Dear Carla, couldn’t find any scissors yesterday again. Surprising what one can do with a steak knife.
I found my 6-way nail buffer yesterday, so that’s step in the right direction!
Lancie, Dear, Lancie — you’re like 6′1″ right? 6′ 2″ ?And you can’t whip yourself into a pretzel? What’s wrong with you??
Yep, the olde mini-van is great, kind of like a sailing ship really when I go into the turns, I hear the lanyards slapping the masts and the creak of the decking as. Not green no, our is gold. Pure 24 karat gold. With a pure silver cam shaft. Guitar-player fingernails here, gotta keep ‘em very short n my left hand. I buff them once in a while, tho. 
Vered, Dear Vered, Hi, I just mailed off your Jannied red babyc. Gotta go pee – see ya.
Ahh, back now.
Titanium, Dear Titanium, hello and a big big first-time welcome to Funsterville. So glad you popped in! Your toe incident sounds PAINFUL. You poor thing. That must’ve been horrible, to say the least. So your nails are still black? They grew back, tho? You hibiscus flowers plan sounds IDEAL!!
Alice Audrey, Dear Alice Audrey, some day I shall be the keeper of my scissors once again. Sailor of my own desk supply ship, but it may be a long wait until then.
Tammy, Dear Tammy, another leg propper-upper! Are you on the short side too? Or is it just a woman thing? Sometimes I actually keep both feet on the floor when driving. But when i get bored… up goes the leg. Gee I wish I had a chaffeur!
Caity, Dear Caity, did you eat the cereal, or throw it out? Hubby puts o.j. on his cereal ALL the time — on purpose!
Paige, Dear Paige, “Current Resident” that cracked me up! And may I call you “Valued Customer?”
So… you are saying I am the ONLY ONE for rinsing my mouth out with bath oil. 
Probably! And I so do not recommend it under any circumstance, no matter how “morning-ed” your mouth may taste!!
Vikum, Dear Vikum, I admit I have had a taset of hand sanitizer — not nice either. Made the mistake of slathering my apple with it. YUCK! It does not evaporate as quickly as one would hope. Lucky you not to have to drive, I think. Is it busy on the public transport? Crowded, I mean, or a trek down a lovely relaxing summer lane?
Jingle, Dear Jingle — which idea, in particular, Sweetie? Just the general post idea? If so, from my nutty head!!
Patricia, Dear Patricia 1971!!!
Was that on your wedding day? Shaving cysts, yikes, never heard of those. Does not sound good. Not at all. Now Popeye arms — those sound like good arm-wrestling ones — you enter any contests?? 
Cinderkeys, Dear Cinderkeys, I dabbled a bit in my younger years with toe paining, but it wasn’t until Kelly started Gymboree where all shoes are off that I learned how to do my pedicure, complete with buffing and all that. I do love the look of my toes all shiny and smooth, and I generally wear only light pinks and corals. No scarlet or violet for me. But you are right — we are all beautiful just as we are!!
LL Cool Joe, Dear LL Cool Joe, okay!! Give me a hint or tell me outright 2 of the 10 you’ve done!!
Come on! Come on!!

Hmmm…O.K. not only do I let the cat have my super-duper swivel rollaround elevator computer chair, I paint her toenails too.
As far as driving is concerned, I have a Prius so I put my feet in the passenger seat and the damn thing does whatever it wants and goes wherever it wants.
Sic semper modern automotive technology.
Besides the fir trees here we also have lavender bushes to get intimate with.
And too, I have found that no matter how many iterations of your glasses (or any other tool for that matter) you’ve collected and keep conveniently stored, the one you need next cannot be found.
That’s what the beer cooler is for.

Have you checked behind your ear for your glasses? Whenever my grandfather couldn’t find his pen, it was always behind his ear.

hehe, Jannie! Oh, how I relate:
#5: I am loath to disturb one of the Ballicai (otherwise known as cats) sleeping in my chair or in the recliner, and if the Ballicai have commandeered the bed, then I arrange myself amongst them, even if I have to pretzel myself.
#9: Yup. Simply. MUST. tinkle wind chimes.
and #10: ACK. That’s me. I swear, I must spend half my life on the john. Good thing for hikes, that bears pee in the woods, too. lol

Sara, my Dear Sara, that cat one is very popular, much more popular than I could never have dreamed! And I do dream you know, I dream of being a hit with you, and making you rotf with l.
Are Aggie and Izzy good pals?? 
Sire, my Dear Caring Sire, thanks so much for your concern. I am driving an automatic tho, and of course a full 3 seconds behind the car in front, and always with minimal beer in my mug. But thanks!!
J.D. my Dear J.D. Another one mentioning the cat — that makes at least 12 of you on this post! A lot of times when he goes missing I check behind my ear and there he is!!

Thomma Lyn, my Dear Thomma Lyn, I knew I could trust you to speak of how you wist and turn for them felines, knowing you have 4 you adore. And just between you ‘n me — I’m all about peeing in the woods, actually prefer it to my fancy 24-karat gold privys.
Sheila, my dear Sheila, I forgot about the hammers! And phillip’s head screwdrivers, well pretty-much any kind of screwdrivers, nail clippers, eyebrow tweezers, my favorite machete, my 22 rifle,
and all garden iplements. can you believe a rake can actually go missing???? A BIG rake.
Sire, my Dear Dear Sire, Kinght in shining armor, if you were to really dig deep into my blog archives, and cared to point out the error of myriad ways, you might never leave this site.
My Dear Mama Zen, do you currently have a cat as well as the dachsund, better known as “that little eff-er?”

Yup, you are the only one who thinks and does these things. That just means you’re unique, Jannie!
I nearly washed my hair with toothpaste once. I still don’t know on what plain of existence how anyone could do that, but there you go…

Tony!! At least your hair would’ve smelled minty fresh and clean!! Albeit perhaps looked a little gloppy and white.

2, 4, 9, 10, definitely! Number 2 also goes for my tweezers. I bought two pairs of fancy ones, can I find one? No. As for number 10, peeing is so annoying. Holding it though, tends to be a little bit worse…
