Don't Try This Recipe...

So, yesterday I was on campus at work for 12 hours. When I'm at work for that long, invariably, a healthy diet gets tossed.

For lunch, I had 2 big pieces of "Mexican" pizza. It was lathered in refried beans, tomatoes and other yummie explosive material.

Then, when I arrived home at 10pm, Will had dinner waiting for me, which consisted of 3 chili dogs and 2 apples. Can you see where this is going?

Then, this morning as I was rushing out the door, I had my usual 2 rather large cups of coffee. I also snuck in a glass of Aloe Vera juice. Not the wisest decision you say? Well, you're right. I almost shit my pants on the way to work. No. I mean it.

I mean, really...2 pieces of Mexican pizza, 3 chili dogs, 2 apples, 2 cups of coffee and a glass of ALOE VERA JUICE???

I should've just shoved a bomb up my ass, drank a pint of nitroglycerin, then sat on a lit cigarette. It would've had the same effect.

So, as if running out the door without having the time to drop one...or ten, wasn't bad enough, I ended up having to WAIT for a neighbor who had pulled out of her garage and was lollygagging, trying to manually close her garage door while holding a BOWL OF CEREAL.

Then, she teetered back to her car getting into the DRIVER'S SEAT, while trying not to spill her breakfast.

I've done a lot of stupid things while driving, which I shouldn't have. But, it has never, NEVER occurred to me to try eating CEREAL.

Well, while she was listening to the "snap, crackle, pop" of her cereal and trying to keep it in the bowl, I was listening to the "snap, crackle, pop" of something else, trying to keep it in my hole.

And a bathroom wasn't in sight for at least another half hour.

So, basically what I'm saying is that I broke the sound barrier (in more ways than one) on the way to work and since I've been here, my morning has been visible from space.

That was hilarious. Gross, but hilarious. I think we've all been there a time or two, though most women would never admit it.

Your neighbor should be bitchslapped.

OK I admit it...Eating a BOWL of cereal isn't the easiest...I prefer the yogart and cereal...much more manageable...Then again, I am the same woman driver who puts mascera on while I drive complete with the curler...OH but I NEVER have less than one hand on the wheel and my eyes are on the road....

I'm a woman, and I'll admit it. It's got to be an age thing... the "turtle" thing never happened to me until I hit 35. I swear, it's either feast or famine in that department. Now I understand why old people talk about their poo so much.

I almost shit my pants this afternoon. Dave and I have been eating a lot of cajun chicken breasts for dinner, and well...the cajun caught up with me. I started to fart and realized it was a shart, and it was all downhill from there. For the first time in my mothering career, I actually got some privacy in the bathroom, because neither of my kids wanted to ingest the toxic fumes coming out of my ass.

If that had been me....I would have HAD to go home. I suffer from a debilitating disease...it is called FPS....(Foreign potty syndrome) I have posted about this problem.....I simply do not have the capacity to use a public restroom for bowel activities!

I am so glad you did not sh*t your pants! Poop in big boy's really, really, really STINKS! Junior Mayhem reminds me of that often, when he choose to soil them rather than use the facilities.

PS: Did not know you could DRINK aloe vera juice! HMMMMMM

Come visit Boston for the spring time. We have a huge jar of Miralax,pediatric "tossitories" and a raging bout of norovirus. You'll fit right in!

God, you're funny...
you big silly....

and...
aloe vera juice is soooo soooo good for you! It has all of those "8 simple sugars" that help keep your cells repairing themselves!! (there's also something being said about stem cells in regards to the 8 simple sugars)

I take it in powder form, never tasted aloe vera juice... how is it??

Who the hell eats cereal while driving???? How is that even possible?

Anyway, if you want to avoid this in the future, steer clear of Fiber One Bars (although delicious and satisfying). They are to blame for the fact that I had to watch McRae's taekwondo class from the outside looking in through the window. I will never forgive them.

Bet you're feeling awfully "cleansed" now, aren't ya?

Does aloe vera juice have that lovely BO effect that the plant does? I can't imagine the aroma of the BMs that would produce. Oy.

Mmmmm. Mexican Pizza.

Never had aloe vera juice, but if I do, I'll make sure not to repeat your explosive combo.

I bet you were also smell-able from the universe as well. I love mexican pizza but with IBS, I have to always be aware of where the facilities are.

I am whoring my new blog that I plan to use for writing advertisements, www.lifeinreality.com, and could use some linky love if you are up for it. Right now I'm using my "good" blog to do this and cluttering it all up. I've moved the advertising posts but still, you know, I need more and more linky love than ever. That site is www.acracknlife.squarespace.com

would you consider adding my links to your blogroll? I offer bribes, I beg, I can even lick you like a good puppy...please.

Never mind cereal, I can't so much as drink soda while driving without spilling it all over myself. I have no idea how you held it in for half an hour but you deserve some kind of award.

You should know better, Kevin Charnas!

I got in someone's car once and they had a glass of milk in the cup holder. not a sippy cup. Not a hot mug. a regular kitchen glass full of milk.

Almost as crazy as eating cereal. But not quite.

Farts are funny, I don't care what anyone says ever.

Whenever a sharting or near sharting occurs to me, I always hear Paul MacCartney in my head singing, "Somebody's knocking on the door, somebody's ringing the bell."

And yes, that somebody is my poop.

I heard about a toxic gas inversion layer over Santa Barbara but I didn't realize you were the genesis of it.... I am sorry for you... for everyone in the county...

But I bet it'll make the next Sue Grafton novel.
