friday i'm in love - the sesame street edition

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram,
you will know that I finally cracked open the
long awaited Sesame Street lego set
and that it has consumed every
minute of my life since 5:00
yesterday afternoon.

I finally finished it today
and
it was worth every penny.
The details just made me so happy…
but why talk you to death about it
when I can just show you the
60 gazillion photos I took…

is paperclips…heehee…
and, of course, the ernie and bert photo
which is sooooo my favorite.

Ok…
I have to stop…
not because I don’t have more
photos
cause…
I definitely have more.
hahaha.

Friday I’m in love has been
brought to you today
by the letter S and the number 9

perfect storms....

you ever have the
perfect storm
brewing….like a boatload of
stress, sucky cramps,
surprise extra mammograms
when you thought you were
just going for an ultrasound
and you were so
sure it was only an
ultrasound
that you argue
with the receptionist
and when you realize
she is likely more
knowledgeable than you are
about said appointment
you loudly moan
nooooooooooooooooo
in your most whiniest voice
in the middle of
a large group
of people….
oh, and your massage therapist
throws in the towel
because you have let your
trigger point
amass for like 15 years
even though
you had coverage
but just
chose
not to use it and now
said trigger point
is invested…it is attached to you,
it is stubborn and jerky and
painful
and does not want to leave
so
the next option
is apparently dry needling
which sounds like eff no
and reminds you that
your mom called to see if
you booked your vaccine yet
likely because
she remembers that time
that you cried your way out of the
german measles needle in
grade eight
and is expecting you
to pull that stunt again…
(in my defense, the nurse
told me if i didn’t calm down
and relax the NEEDLE
MIGHT BREAK OFF
IN MY ARM…
that is not how you calm a person.
sorry.)
plus it rained a lot
and all of this resulted in
a cluster of headaches
that forced me to
try cold medicine
(don’t ask, i get desperate…)
which knocked out the headache
but also made me
all stupid and delayed reactions
for about 22.5 hours.

the point of this story
is that a friend
innocently asked me if
the sesame street lego
might be a limited edition
which immediately put me in
panic mode
thinking
what if i wait til i “earn” the points/money
BUT THEN IT’S ALL GONE
AND I CAN NEVER HAVE IT?!

so i ordered it.
but i haven’t colored in my
sticker chart yet
so
i won’t let myself open the box.

i am so mean.

(I REALLY WANNA OPEN THE BOX!!!!!!)

but i have 17 points left to earn.

and to bring the story full circle,
today is the first day
that i feel
human again…
and can start working on my points again…

(BUT I REALLY REALLY REALLY
JUST WANNNNNNNA OPEN THE
DAMNNNNN BOXXXXX)

and…a doodle….
to distract you
from my craziness.

:)

things i should not admit out loud....

but will anyway…

So…if you know me,
you know I love Sesame Street
with every vein and ventricle
in my heart…

And you probably know
I desperately want the
Sesame Street lego set
(seriously…LOOK AT IT!!!)

And if you know that much about me,
you probably know that I
slightly…frugal.
I have a hard time spending
money on…things…
like…in a weird way.

I have been trying to be healthier
(I promise, there is a connection here,
I didn’t just randomly change subjects)
so I decided that I would kill two birds
with one stone
(obviously I would never kill one bird
much less two, my aim is not that great!)

I’m getting way off track.

So…I set some rules…
tracking food - 2 points
10000 steps - 2 points
yoga - 2 points…
you get the idea.

Then…I just need 177 points
AND THE SESAME STREET LEGO
WILL BE MINE!!! heh.

So….because I like sticker charts
and visual reminders and because
i am apparently six….
I made this.

I ALREADY HAVE FOUR POINTS!!
:) :) :)

and zero dignity.
heh.
