Should I put a bra on? Where did I leave my bra? Did I feed my kids? What IS that smell?

These are things I often ponder in the course of one of my extraordinarily busy days.

In fact, just today I had some super interesting thoughts swimming through my brain I thought I’d share…

  • I have two TVs. One was tuned to the BBC World News and the other was showing an episode of “Jersey Shore.” My thought: I just might teach my children to speak with a British accent because we all know “Mummy, may I please relieve my bowels” sounds much better than “Yo, Ma, I need to take a fuckin’ dump.”
  • Happened to have the car radio tuned to KPOO (yes, it is a real station): Can someone please tell John Mayer to stop singing. Please, please, please, pretty please?
  • I totally should have taken that job as executive vice president of bits and bobs at “Joe’s Dollar Store”
  • Why do I need two TVs on at once?
  • Will I ever be able to take a decent photo at a concert? Note to husband: Next time get better seats

So…. if I have thoughts you guys must as well, right?

Therefore I would like to invite you, my dear readers to turn your thoughts into a guest paragraph for this blog. Yes, one paragraph. Don’t fret, it can be a long one.

Please choose from one of the following topics:

  1. Warts
  2. Scrambled eggs
  3. Breast milk
  4. Led Zeppelin
  5. Europe
  6. Teeth

Rules: Only one topic per writer. As topics are chosen I will cross them off. Please pick another if your first choice is unavailable. Once all topics are gone, too bad, you’ve missed your big opportunity.

The result: I will take all of the paragraphs and combine them into one giant story. Somehow. Don’t know how I’ll do it, but I’m going to try. Hope you like reading gobbledygook.

You don’t have to have a blog to join in. Just make sure you are a human (no zombies or chipmunks please) What’s in it for you? Nothing really. Just something fun to do and expose you (not literally of course) to my 13 1/2 readers.

Email me: Let me know what your topic will be and start writing that paragraph! Click here for my super duper top secret email address. You can also send smoke signals but there is no guarantee I will see them. I am far too busy to glance at the sky most days.

Deadline: Friday January 22. I will publish this awesome post on Monday January 25 provided I have enough participants. Please take part or I’ll be crushed, I’m still smarting from being incredibly unpopular in high school.

Have fun!

    I would take a stab at teeth or warts. If you’ll have me, but I may just be a chipmunk…you know storing a bunch of shit in my cheeks and all.

      No, I just didn’t link it up to my email yet. I’m lazy. Actually I’m not lazy. I just couldn’t figure out how to do it.

    I’ll take teeth!

      Gosh, why are teeth so darn popular? Everyone wants teeth.

    Looks like I’m late. I was eating my scrambled eggs and yes, I admit it, fingering my wart (I can’t help it!) which took a while since I only have three teeth left, plus the fact that I was daydreaming about the European vacation I long for even more than mother’s milk or Custard Pie. Oh well, next time!

      Oh my. I certainly hope you washed your hands after fingering that wart of yours.

      Maybe it’s a good thing you missed out on this one, you sound like a tremendously busy man.

    Oh -I am too late I see…although I don’t think I am quite ready to write amongst you smarties.
    I LOVE your bloggy and am so so glad I know you funny Amanda. Now if you ever want a story on say 51/50″s , or how to deal with a son who wears false eyelashes (seriously glad that phase is over) I’m your gal.
    Love Love Love to you. See you around the bend!

      I know, hard to believe right? Me, unpopular?

      I think it may have had something to do with my size 26 feet and my oozing open sores…

    Speaking of random thoughts . . . I just tagged you at my blog to post some random facts of your own.

    P.S. I LOVE Jersey Shore. And I want to start wearing my hair like Snooky.

    OMG, I’m in love. You had me at “warts”…

    And I don’t know WHAT I was worried about. I can absolutely feel comfortable calling you BS. And that’s a compliment, btw.

  15. Posted January 19, 2010 at 5:59 am | #

    Love the blog, you are very funny, saw the link at Buggin’ Word and Elly seems to have good taste, she has another great suggestion with yours. Can’t wait for more. Especially the hodgepodge. Should be entertaining :)

    I’m in too. I often ponder equally weird thoughts…but instead of the bra, mines “did I remember to brush my teeth?” Gross, I know, yet true. I’ll email you as soon as the coffee kicks in and my brain starts functioning.
