Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.



So I've taken a two week respite of Not Me Monday. It's not that I intended to do this, but I have been way too busy! No, Not Me! Too busy to post on Not Me Monday ...

1. I did not stay up until 11pm three nights in the last two weeks. Not Me. Not Ever.

2. I did not force my husband to watch "Mary Murphy" scream on So You Think You Can Dance and did not laugh at her Botox antidote. I didn't watch it four times in a row and then youtube it so I could watch it more. I certainly did not facebook it later on. :o)



3. I did not ... I repeat did NOT ... get water from the fridge only to fall backwards into two bags of garbage and cut my knee all the while managing to save my entire glass of water from spilling.

4. So the other evening my husband did NOT do laundry. He did not wash a set of whites and dry them only to find them sopping wet in the morning. Guess what he did NOT find in the dryer vent. I mean because if he did find this it means that it hadn't been cleaned in a few washings ...and I ALWAYS clean out the dryer vent after doing a load of wash.



It looks like a small animal .. does it NOT?
5. Speaking of "small" animals. I did not go overboard and take 11 photos of my precious pup.




Stay tuned next time for the things I did NOT do ...

Not Me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I'm going to be short and sweet on this week's Not Me Monday.

1. I did not put on a work-out fit just to work out on the Wii today in my own home when I could have just put on a t-shirt and PJ bottoms.

2. I did not take about 35 pictures of a 6 year old and a green bow.

3. I did not argue with my husband about whether a song was sung by INXS. I never know artists and titles so it wouldn't be prudent for me to argue with him since he's the expert on such matters. So therefore I did NOT do that.

4. I did not stare at two mules going at it. I have not looked at said Mules every time I've ridden by where those mules live just to see if they were still going at it.

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

So in order to suspend your disbelief for this week's Not Me Monday, you have to know one thing about me. I am not a cook. I do not do things in the kitchen. Well since I don't do these things, I did NOT make my very first smoothie today by using strawberries, bananas, milk, ice and Protein Powder. I did not complain to my friend online later that I was burping up Bananas.

Speaking of Protein, I did not write down on the white board every gram of protein I ate so far today. I am not depressed that I have only had 39 grams of Protein when I need to have 80 grams. I am not wondering how I am going to stuff 41 more grams of Protein in my body when my stomach is bloated from everything I ate this afternoon.

Yesterday when doing laundry, I did NOT spray Febreeze in the washing machine trying to get the smell out of the sheets I brought home from my Grandfather's apartment. I did not wonder later if the dryer would catch on fire from spraying said Febreeze.

I have another really funny Not Me antidote, but I think that I will spare you from the hilarity that ensued at the K&W.

Stay Tuned just in case I think of something else.

Not Me Monday

Because I challenged myself to keep up with housework & laundry, I can not believe that I'm about to tell you what I did not do on Sunday from 9am until past 6pm. I did not spend all day on Sunday doing laundry. Let me break it down for you. I did not wash 7 loads of laundry. I did not dry 7 loads of laundry. I did not fold and/or hang 9 loads of laundry. And I most certainly did not iron 3 loads of laundry. And even if I did spend all day doing the mountain of laundry, it's certainly not because I haven't done laundry in over three weeks. This would be absolutely atrocious .... don't ya think?

I did not go to bed at 7:30 on Friday night and I most certainly did not wake up the following morning at 7:30 using curse words at the dog because he was barking waking up the Sleeping Beauty Lymie. This would NOT be necessary because 12 hours of sleep had NOT been acquired. ;o) If this did happen on Friday night, I most certainly would NOT repeat this on Saturday night by going to bed at 7:45 and waking up by cursing the dog out on Sunday morning at 7:45. Just in case this isn't clear, I did not spent 24 hours over the weekend sleeping in bed.

Not Me Monday

I did not go buy a dress because I needed retail therapy. Also didn't buy a bracelet & necklace to go with the dress either. Since I am not a girly girl, I did not wear said dress two days in a row. I was not late to my friend's house two days in a row either. I am always on time to everything so there is no way I'd just hang out with my friends at work before going to my friend's house.

Last week (the week I cancelled the Not Me Monday), I did not actually go and buy three new shirts and a bunch of iron ons. I did not waste one old shirt by putting my Positive Lyme test on it. I did not waste a new shirt by putting the positive lyme test on the front & the back of it to see which would look better. I did not wear the positive Lyme test shirt to work one day.

I didn't go to Michaels to purchase two spools of Lime Green Ribbon and then on top of that a bow that is already made. I'm such a creative person (haa) that I'd make my own bow and not purchase one pre-made. I didn't go to Lowe's looking for Lime Green Flagging Tape to tie around all the trees in my yard and I wasn't upset when I found only Pink & Orange. :o(
I didn't spend an hour trying to tie the Lime Green ribbon onto a charm to make a necklace.

A friend/colleague passed away today. Please pray for her children, family and all of us at work. She's a lady that truly will be missed every day. Extremely difficult time for all of us.

Not Me Monday

It did not take me 5 minutes to figure out why this post wouldn't post. And I did not have the date scheduled to post on TUESDAY.


I did not IM my friend Missy to have her call my Husband because the phone was off the hook and I couldn't find it. He was not needed to be contacted because of a possible evacuation.

When packing up things for said possible evacuation, I did not put my hair dryer, flat iron and hair supplies in a suit case just in case I'd have to stay over night somewhere. Since I don't have the "gene" for doing hair ... these items wouldn't come in handy later.

I did not break a 9 month old feud with the neighbor to find out what was UP with the fire trucks. I'm a grown woman. I should be able to see SMOKE & FIRE! I did not joke around with them saying somebody probably said "Hey Bubba watch this" prior to the fire starting.

I did not start downloading all my pictures from the computer to a USB key while packing up emergency bags in case of evacuation either. That would be just ludicrous. Just get your stuff together and GO. Why would I worry about pictures? My husband did NOT come home later and say, "next time just pack up the whole computer." Who does this? Not US?

When I woke up in the middle of the night, I did not come straight to the computer to chat in a Lyme Chat room at 3am for an hour.

When walking down the aisle at a store, I did not look at an item for sale and say out loud, "Hey there's a 3 Bamboo Serving Set P.C." My husband did not have to correct me by saying, "that's a 3 PIECE Bamboo Serving Set."

I did not jump up and down and scream in the doctor's office out of pure JOY when I saw my Lyme Test had come back CDC positive. I did not go around from person to person in the office and shove the test in their face and say "IT'S POSITIVE" like a crazy lunatick lunatic.

I did not consider the option of scanning in my Positive test onto one of those Ironi On Sheets and putting it on a T-shirt for wearing out in public.

I did not use the words "Bomb Diggity" this week on the facebook wall of a friend after she had her picture taken with the one the only Eric Montross.

I did not freak out on a friend (or two) when they mentioned that they had found ticks on themselves (crawling & imbedded).

These are in no particular order.

I did not send an email to CBS about Lyme Disease upon learning that Katherine has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I didn't share with the producers my email address, my home address, my telephone number and any other pertinent information to contact me. That would be certifiable.

When I realized that my friend was at the Final Four, I did not randomly email her to ask for her to take a picture of Stellan's name there. Since she has no clue who Stellan is, that would be insane of me to do. I most certainly did not do that and she most certainly didn't take it and send it to me in less than 15 minutes. That would mean she was on FACEBOOK while watching the Final Four. Whoever would do that???? NOT HER. ;)

I did not chase my husband down with Insect Repellent (aka TICK repellent) on Saturday when he was going out to cut the grass. I most certainly did not use the smell good Insect Repellent and was not running after him spraying it in midair while he was yelling, "AT LEAST LET ME USE THE MANLY KIND."

Please come back as I may think of other things that I did NOT do.

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

So in order to release all of the things I did this week from my brain, I am going to tell you all the things I did not do. They go against my nature and are things I would NEVER do.

On Tuesday, I did not show up at my doctors office with two printed out photos of my arm. I would never freak out over a medical condition that would warrant me to show up at the office unexpected with not only one picture, but two. I most certainly did not circle the welp in the photo to show where it was with my finger as size reference next to it. I would not roll my eyes at the secretary when she suggested it would just an allergic reaction to something and I should just use Benedryl.

It did not take a whopping 6 days watching things that were in my DVR from vacation. I am not addicted to television and would never DVR these things while on vacation much less spend from 12:30 until 7pm every day watching them. It would not take me so long as to interfere in my regular shows that it would take an additional two days to catch up with all 30 things in the DVR.

On Thursday, I did not lose my V card by going to the hair salon to get my hair colored. I am most certainly not so self conscious that my grey hair had started to bother me. What I look like on the outside does not affect how I feel on the inside.

On Friday, I did not get upset and have actual tears when the Satelite went out because of a storm that spawned tornadoes. These actual tears were not an actual reflection of being upset because I was missing March Madness, but in fact due to being a little bit scared. Speaking of "scared," I was not so scared of the Tornadoes that I did not spend a good ten minutes in the bathroom thinking that I was about to have a Wizard of Oz moment. I was not preparing to bring the dogs into the safest room of the house.

After the Tornado threat was over, I did not stay up until midnight on Friday just to watch Carolina play. I did not FB about me needing toothpicks to keep my eyelids open and was not pestering all of my real life friends about how I needed them to help me stay up by chatting with them on AIM. They did not do this either! Certainly not. Not them.

I did not create a new blog on Saturday. I didn't spend all day on Friday and Saturday creating this new blog. It's address is NOT http://prayingforlymies.blogspot.com.

Something that is completely out of character for me is that I did not wake up near midnight on Sunday evening (aka almost Monday morning) to drink water. I did not wind up on my computer during the wake up break for water and post a youtube video on my facebook page, make a comment on my not new blog, chat with a friend and even check some lyme forums.
These are out of character for me at near to midnight so there is no way I would do this.

I am not an 80's movie geek. Back to the Future is absolutely not my favorite movie of all time. Therefore I did not beg for a Flux Capacitor that was found on Think Geek.com for my upcoming anniversary and I am not plugging for a gift on my blog. It's ONLY 249.99 ... who wouldn't want to buy me this beauty ... let me guess .. NOT YOU!

I did NOT consider wearing my annual green pants for St. Patrick's Day. I surely would never have considered wearing them because they have a huge hole in the rear. I did not give an excuse as good as the ladies on "What Not To Wear" give to Clint and Stacy when I wasn't explaining to my husband how it wasn't that bad.

The Green Pant Debate did not turn into the Great Closet Clean up of 2009. Since I don't have clothes (IE the green pants that I've NOT been wearing since '95) from the mid-nineties in my closet, the Green Pant debate did not cause me to create a pile of clothes that needed to be thrown away or donated. Obviously, I don't need to get rid of any of my clothes because they are all stylish and have been purchased in this decade. I did not go through a serious crying spell when I was pulling out some of my absolute favorite clothes from 15 years ago.

And since I wasn't cleaning out my side of the closet, I did not make my hubby clean out his side as well. That would be cruel to make him throw out his favorite T-shirts because they are stained with oil/dirt and riddled with holes. If I was a good wife, I would have discreetly thrown them out in the garbage and when asked later replied with "Uh I dunno ... you must have put it somewhere." I most certainly did not think about doing this after he went through his t-shirts and didn't get rid of all the ones that I would have. Nope Not me!

The Great Closet Clean up of 2009 did not cause me to go crazy and buy a bunch of pants from random places (including the Hip ~ Old Navy .. since I am not Hip in nature, Old Navy would never be on my list of places to shop). I did not purchase Capris because I swore about 5 years ago that I would either wear Shorts OR Pants and never those kind of pants that are neither kind. Now I am not in a panic because I barely have any regular sized pants and it would be nuts to be in a panic in March about not having long pants because I shouldn't need pants until September since I do not wear pants all summer long because I am not embarrased by my birthmark removal scar. I will not say pants anymore. PANTS PANTS PANTS PANTS PANTS!

Once arriving at Atlantic Beach, I did not ask my husband request that something be done about this:

Or This:

I did not seriously consider going to the store and purchasing Windex because evidence of a child that had been either picking his nose or eating some form of Kentucky Fried Chicken and rubbing it against all the windows in the room. This most certainly would not gross me out in the least. And I hope it is even more evident that I did not take photos of this to show the front desk if it wasn't cleaned by the time we got back from lunch/dinner.

While at the beach, I did not do cartwheels in the sand. My husband did not take photographic proof either. This is NOT me doing the worst cartwheel known to man.

Because I am a fully grown woman and look completely my age (haa), I did not find myself in the CHILDREN'S department in search for a pair of khaki's to fit. I did not take said pants to the dressing room (size 14) and I did not try them on and stare in the mirror as they did not fit me almost perfectly. The only place they were not a little snug were my hips since I do not have any hips whatsoever ... the pants would not be snug there. I did not place the pants into the shopping cart and proceed to the check out counter anyways!

That's All for this week. (though you may want to come back just in case I think of things to add later) Stay Tuned next week after my beach trip. I am bound to do something that needs to go on NMM.

You are not reading my Not Me Monday right this very moment since earlier this morning I said I would NOT be posting one today. Since there were no major incidents this week, I will not be posting this in a list format.

1. I did not have a perfectly good melt down over my hair on Wednesday after I realizing I had no clue on how to use hair torture devices (hair dryer & flat iron) on my newly styled hair.

2. I did not go on a massive cleaning spree Saturday morning since I did not spend Monday through Friday of last week napping every afternoon. I certainly wouldn't let my house get overwhelmed with stuff after making a resolution of keeping up with laundry.

3. I did not do said massive clean up because a friend was coming over for the first time. Since I am a regular party home (stop that laughing Missy), my house is prepared for company at all times. Also since this visit was planned in advance (a whole week at that), I wouldn't have to rush at the last minute to do cleanup duty.

4. I did not freak out when my husband came inside on Sunday and use the word "tick." I did not make him strip down and throw everything in the washing machine immediately. I also didn't force him to take a shower and check every inch of him for ticks. I did not set the washing machine load on rinse twice and only wash his items of clothing because that would be a waste of water & detergent. Also this did not cause me to remind everyone on facebook to check their loved ones for ticks every single night.

5. I most certainly did not skip my planned nap today to go shopping instead. I rarely go shopping. I did not use the excuse of going to Congress to purchase a new outfit because I am not going to Congress on this coming WEDNESDAY! I did not spend THREE FULL HOURS at Kohl's trying to find the perfect outfit. It did not take me a full 90 minutes to find ONE PAIR of pants that fit. It didn't take another 30 minutes to find a top that fit and matched. I most certainly did not beg one of the sales associates to help me find something fashionable to go with those pants and top because that would mean that I absolutely have no fashion sense. I didn't actually utter the phrase , "You mean that doesn't match?" Nor was I given a lecture on how "accessories make or break an outfit" since I used to work in the Accessories department I would definately know this. It didn't take TWO sales associates and one additional hour to find something that would be appropriate for wearing.

My nurse never has any trouble whatsoever getting blood from me especially from July to February when I had the PICC Line. So when I went in for the Lab appointment, I did not have to have two sticks for a blood test. And since I hate blood work, I never would request for more tests to be run. Not me! It didn't take Nurse R two needles to get 8 vials of blood. And futhermore, I did not announce it on facebook that day. I did not scream out loud when she stuck me the first and the second time. That would be completely wussy of me. And I am not a wuss.

I am such a participant of change. Therefore when I went to get my hair cut, I did not shed one tear b/c my hair stylist kept snipping and snipping and snipping. I did not consider taking home a piece of my hair since it had been a good two years since my last hair cut.

It must be said that I am not addicted to facebook. So therefore when I went to see my Dad on Friday, I did not go to the computer at any point in time to check to see if I had any messages. Since I am not into reminiscing, I did not watch a video of my 8th grade Winter guard and I certainly didn't sing Madonna's Vogue the rest of the day.

On Saturday, I did not walk in the rain just b/c and get home raging mad b/c I had red clay on my shoes. I always am the picture of calmness so this would not irate me in the least. EVER. I mean who gets mad b/c red clay gets in their shoelaces? NOT ME! I also did not go to a Winterguard show and spend half the time talking with random people. I hate talking to strangers and would never just start talking to them. It makes me nervous and completely uncomfortable. I also did not run over to a guy I went to college with and put my arms around his neck. That would mean that I would have crossed my personal boundaries and made us both extremely uncomfortable! (eeks)

I did not just utter the phrase, "Leave her butt alone." Can you guess who I did not say that to?

I did not wake up on yesterday morning at 5:50 am screaming out loud that I was late for work. I did not rush to my computer to see what day of the week it was and when I realized it was only Sunday, I most definitely did not go straight to my facebook page and check messages. And while I was there, I certainly did not check all my blogger friends and Lyme Message boards.

After not checking said facebook and blogger friends, I did not crawl back into bed and stay there until 10am.

I did not pour a full bottle of Septra down the sink. That would be very very bad for the septic (or should I say Septric) system. It most certainly did not make me want to vomit and here is no photographic proof of said nausea.

For a last minute addition which may provide for an additional post later on ...

I did not wake up at 3:45 am to the sound of something falling from somewhere. It was NOT a loud crash that came from the kitchen and I did NOT blame the dog as I did NOT rush to the kitchen. I did not get to the kitchen only to not find my husband there who was not holding the "cake platter" that he did not deem yesterday as throw awayable b/c we "never use it." So he did not so aptly put it in front of the garbage and most definitely did not trip over it causing a huge commotion.

All of this non-commotion at 3:45 did not cause me to look out the window that we did not get one drop of snow unlike what the weather man had pretended. Our weather people get it right aways so I was shocked that we did not have snow!

On the other hand, KC {seriously} never delays or closes so I did not check our news station online to see if KC had done either. I am surprised to say that KC is NOT delaying for two whole hours. I am not freaking out b/c I am a superb driver in the snow therefore there should be no reason for me to freak out for my usual 40 minute drive should take 40 minutes.

Tune in next week!

I was not so busy that I completely missed putting in my Not Me early this morning.
I totally did not still have my star up on February 22, 2009. I did not have to remind my husband to take it down because he's on the ball about everything.

Here is a list of things I did not do:

1. Order a slice of Carrot Cake after completing my lupper (lunch/supper for those of you not in the know) even though I was completely stuffed.

2. Eat a bit over 1/2 of the slice of the Carrot Cake and then reach over to eat off my husband's plate because his vanilla ice cream on his dessert looked soooooo good.

3. Purchase a purse for the first time in over a year because I'm a woman and a woman buys purses more than that.

4. I did not oversplurge on a baby gift because I don't overspend (see number 3 .. since I don't buy purses but every few years .. why would I ever overspend on an item that a baby would outgrow in less than a month?)

I am sure there are many other things I did not do this week, but I can't think of them now.

5. I did not ask my friend Missy what I should blog about and she most definitely did not suggest that I post a picture from the crazy photo shoot we did NOT do yesterday because she did NOT visit me.

6. We did not spent 15 bucks (tax included) on a small bottle of shampoo because I most definitely do not have a Dandruff (aka Yeast) problem.

This was a doozy of a week. There are so many things that I did not do.

Because I never ever take pictures of things, I did not document with photos how my PICC line hole looked every day. No way would I ever do that. I most definitely did not post them on facebook for my friends to see.

Day 1

Day 2: Fingers were NOT for Emphasis. :)

Day 3: You do not see THREE fingers up for the third day. Absolutely NOT.
Also you do not see a rash around the PICC Line hole. I am NOT allergic to latex in Band-aids. It is not possible that I'd be so stupid as to use something I have a sensitivity to in order to cover my insertion hole with. *DOH*

Day 4: Your mind is playing tricks on you again. I am not holding up four fingers to emphasis that this is the 4th day post PICC removal.



Day 5: You do not see a sign here that indicates Day number 5 with a "hello" too my Not Me Monday Readers. There is no way because I always have my husband take the picture and this would indicate that he was not home. There is no way I'd do a self-portrait just for the purposes of this blog!

I did not go to Bojangles with my husband on Valentine's Day for our dinner either. What kind of idiot would want to go there for a special date with the hubby? We also did not head over to Target and Staples to find colorful envelopes so that I could address 50 letters to senators. I do not advocate anything so I most definitely would not write 50 different people to encourage them to support NC Integrative Medical Doctors and certainly would not spend over 100 dollars in supplies to get my letters noticed! Stay tuned next week when I share with you what I did not do this week. In the mean time, go visit my old Not Me Mondays:

On Wednesday when it snowed, I did not mess up writing the date on my car. I did not put 1-2-09 only to try to "correct" it by putting 2-4-09 on top of it.

With the exception of post Anti-microbial treatments, I have the memory of an elephant. Tell me something once and I remember it for a life time so this means I absolutely did not forget on Thursday the code to get into my work place and almost cause the alarm to go off by plugging in my ATM pin code instead.

I absolutely did not panic one bit when the phone rang for me at work and begin to tear up when I heard my nurse on the other line. I did not rush down there to discuss what she said on the phone because there was no way I could not be attentive on the phone with her. And with previous said "memory," there is no way I could forget what she wanted to talk to me about either.

I am such a compassionate person that I would never ever ever consider bringing a cake to my doctor's office when he was having a weight loss support group meeting right after my appointment. I most certainly would never ever use the term "Fatty Patty" when the head huncho of said support group was walking behind me. (oops)

I have never been a "hoarder" of momentos therefore I would NEVER EVER ask to keep the PICC Line after it was pulled and I most certainly not take pictures of it and the oozy goozy yucky mess that was on my sterile dressing after the removal. Nope, not me.

And I would never consider being silly while my husband was taking photos of me on the last day of having the PICC Line. I would never ever "strike THIS Pose."

Stay tuned next Monday for another Crazy Not Me!

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This week has not been a doozy at all. I absolutely did NOT run up and down my street to catch the DHL delivery person to send my Urine off to the lab. I did NOT go off on him and explain the urgency of my package arriving on time due to the bodily fluids that the package contained. I did NOT tell him that if it did not arrive in time, he would be personally responsible for paying $154.00 for me to have a second treatment and another $60.00 for the test to be re-run. I was NOT flattered in any way when he told me he thought I was a 12 year old kid running around the yard the day before I turned 33.

On Wednesday, I absolutely was not stressed out in any way to go to my best friend's new apartment. Under no circumstances would I have to sit in my car for over 30 minutes before being removed from the car by my friend over anxiety from the drive. I was not embarrased in any way to have to call my husband to convince me to get out of the car before further embarrassing myself to call my friend to have him come down to get me! Not me, never, absolutely not. :O

On Thursday, I absolutely did not eat a huge canister of cheese balls in one sitting. That would be absolutely horrible for my body and since I am so health conscious, I would never consider doing that. You know what else I didn't do? I didn't spend all Thursday afternoon talking to one of my blog readers about Lyme Disease and the inaccuracies of the Western Blot & Elisa test. I didn't send her a whole email of Lyme doctors in her area just in case she wanted to get a 2nd opinion on her illness actually being Lyme Disease instead. :-}

On Friday, I did not do something spontaneous and go out to eat with an old friend

um .. correction ... pain in the ass of mine. I most certainly did not jump at the chance to drive somewhere and eat dinner breakfast food for dinner. We did not reminisce about band & guard and did not spontaneous bust out into "Oh Yeah" from the Twix Commercial because it was a winterguard tune.

On Saturday, I did not laugh so hard in Target that I almost peed in my britches. Speaking of britches, you know I did not purchase a pair of britches off the 75 percent rack because they were the cause of said laughter. Then I most definitely did not go around to find a shirt that would match the britches for my Halloween costume this year because it would so be the perfect 1980's outfit. I also did not pull out my camera in the middle of the store to take a picture of pink sweatpants. Those that know me in person from HS know that my "style" was sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt ~ nothing more and nothing less. My husband and I did not have a grand time taking pictures of me in said Shiny Gold Pants & Off white/gold shirt. Here is NO PROOF whatsoever of me doing the silliness. I know I know: 1987 called and they want their pants back.


One last thing that did not happen on Saturday. My husband was certainly not referred to as "Dad" when we were checking out at Target. I did not slap him on the back and say "yeah Dad" and snort at the same time. The check out woman did not say "Husband?" with a very confused look in her eye and when I said "I'm actually 33" .. she did not and I repeat did not grab my hand and force me to look at the customer in line behind us. She did not say "can you believe she's 33?" She then did not say "You Go Boy" to my husband as we were walking away from the cash register. I did not tease him the rest of the day. :o) Dad Dad Daddio.

I absolutely did not get in a panic when I woke up to snow on Tuesday morning. I also did not worry that I wouldn't make it to work on my 1/2 tank a gas when I did not fill up my gas tank the day before when the weather men talked about the Arctic Blast that would give us 2 to 4 inches of snow because I truly did NOT believe them. They are actually saying that it will NOT do any wintery precipitation on my birthday (tomorrow).

I did not get upset when my boss has me scheduled for a potentially long day on my birthday which I have not shamelessly plugged all week on facebook.

This next thing may not be a bit TMI coming up:

I did not wear gloves when I did not have to pee in a cup for 6 hours. I did not consider getting in the tub to pee in the urine sample container upon worrying about whether I could actually hit the cup. I did not have to pour urine from the sample container into a huge orange jug. I did not get grossed out when I had to put said pee jug into the fridge next to the cucumbers so that the urine would not go bad before shipping. I did not leave the original pee cup out beside my husband's toothbrush just to make him change his toothbrush head on the electronic toothbrush. ;-)

I absolutely did not have to store a small vial of my own urine in the fridge on Saturday and Sunday for DHL to pick up on Monday. I most definitely did not consider leaving the vial of urine in a huge trashcan outside the house. And last but not least, I could never ask my mother in law to come over and sit with my box that contained the vial of urine waiting for the DHL delivery person.

I did not (see I told you that last thing was NOT the last thing) eat a huge pizza & a slice of cheesecake at the cheesecake factory in one sitting. I was not full at the end of my meal. ;)

Tune in next week when I tell you what all I did not do on my birthday! (which is NOT tomorrow)


Oh one more NOT ME that I forgot. I absolutely do not have the Christmas Village up on my Fire Place Mantle on January 26th. Not me.

Not Me Monday!

On Saturday, I absolutely did not rethread my shoe laces THREE times because they were uneven on both shoes only to look down to realize that I had rethreaded them the wrong way. One shoe the right lace was over top and the other shoe the left lace was over top. I left them like this and it did not bother me in any way, shape or form!

I did not mention that my birthday is coming up 5 times at my PICC line dressing change and I did not suggest that they should purchase me a birthday cake. I am not shamelessly hinting right now that my favorite cake is white cake with strawberry frosting in the middle with white frosting on the outside!

We absolutely did not change from cable to satellite dish because our bill was raised by seven dollars. This is after not changing from Satellite to cable three years ago for the exact same reason. ;) I am not looking forward to having a DVR in the house for the first time ever. I think it's a complete waste of time and effort and why would anyone ever want one when they can use a VCR instead.

Tune in next Monday for the next edition of Not Me Monday!
