It's tuesday. time for random!

What is with men and the Transformers movie? I do not understand the obsession. The first movie came out on our anniversary. Hubby couldn't get it through his head that I did not think it was funny that he wanted to spend our anniversary at the Transformers movie.

My son is obsessed with Elmo. I'm not sure how this obsession developed, since he doesn't watch Sesame Street. But now everything is "Melmo" - including me. I don't know how I feel about being called a red furry puppet.

I love Greek. Yes, I know it's a cheesy tv show. But I'm really angry that they ended the season without Casey and Cappie getting together! Life isn't always happily ever after. But I like my tv shows to be that way.

I have a major problem. I didn't account for any of my time this month. Usually I'm really good about it. If anything, maybe I miss a day of simultaneous time entry and can back up and recreate the billing. But now here it is half way through the month and I have to figure out what I did for the past FIFTEEN days. By noon tomorrow. I'm screwed.

I was at the Yankee game on Sunday. I love that they beat up on the Mets (Sorry Brad, Jersey Girl and any of my other readers who root for that team). But really, the game lost some interest at the point that we were up 12 runs. It's no fun watching a total blow out. Seriously. It was like watching batting practice.

I'm so psyched. I ran a mile in under 15 minutes yesterday. Yes, I know. That's painfully slow. But I've never run a mile in less than 15 minutes, even in high school or middle school when I was forced to exercise every day.

Speaking of middle school... My cousin starts at my old middle school this year. How did that happen? I am not old enough for him to be in middle school!

I hate when men propose to their significant others during sporting events. I do not think it's romantic to throw a "Will you marry me?" up on the big tv at the ballgame and pop the question. It takes something that's supposed to be private and special and makes a public spectacle out of it. Ugh!

I was utterly horrified one day, right before hubby and I got engaged, when we were at a ballgame and "Jaime, I love you. Will you marry me? Brian" popped up on the screen. I looked at my dad first who cracked up upon seeing my expression. Then I looked at hubby and said, "You've got to be kidding me" (Okay, I cleaned that up a little) He just shook his head and the 4 of us just about died laughing.

My dad, uncle, hubby and I all share this view - that you should NEVER propose at a ball game. So we boo the announcements and scream that the girl should say no. At the game Sunday, there were 3 proposals.

There I am. Booing and yelling "say no" when, about 5 rows up, a guy drops to his knee and asks this chick to marry him. Yup. That's me. I'm a total mood killer. (For the record, I think they both were too nervous to have noticed little old me)

Continuing on in the fine tradition of what else can go wrong when Jaime is supposed to work out... I grabbed a t-shirt off the bed this morning and stuffed it into my gym bag. When I tried to get dressed at the gym, I realized the shirt was MY SON'S...

Can we say mom needs a vacation?

Candie said...

No I don't know what it is with men and Transformers..really,if I find out,I let you know,lol.

Mike said...

I love batting practice sort games, especially when we beat the Mets or Sox, I also hate public proposals, I couldn't run a mile in any amount of time, and the only Greek that I like serves Gyros! LOL! Have a good day!! I think I'll go see Transformers!

Liz Mays said...

I'm inclined to agree with you about the public proposal. That would not be my thing either but then I hate a good surprise party too. :)

Missed ya!

CocoDivaDog said...

I feel your pain girl. I hate Elmo. Our midget has finally graduated on to Spider man.
And this whole thing about men and Transformers is universal, you know. Men like gadgets and toys.

Shangrila said...

Oh, "Melmo"! My friend's kid named his fish Melmo! All of my kids said "Melmo!" He must love you a lot (to call you that!) LOL :)

I suck at running, too. Awesome that you ran a mile, period!

Stacy Uncorked said...

I don't get the whole Transformers craze, either...

Love it - "Melmo"! ;)

I hate when I forget to keep track of my time...I have trouble thinking back a couple of days, I'd be lost if I had to think back 15 days...good luck with that!

I am so with you on the sporting events proposals...cheesy to the max! :)

Happy RTT! :)

Ed & Jeanne said...

You know, if you'd stop wearing that red furry outfit he probably wouldn't call you Melmo...

I took the wife-poo to Transformers too! She didn't want to see it but my kids did so we all went. It was so packed we had to split up and we had to sit in the only two seats not close to the front and they were only available because somebody had spilled an entire gallon of sticky soda there. Needless to say...it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences...

Ms. Salti said...

Start accounting for those hours, young lady! I'm with you on the proposal thing... keep it private! Total blowouts are a bore... And I'm with Auri... Vegas, anyone? I'm half-tempted to drive down in August and meet you!

Candice said...

Ugh, I would have been pissed to get a proposal at a sporting event!

I would rather him pop the question at a Transformers movie. ;)

Michel said...

i cringe in horror everytime I hear someone talk about a proposal at a sporting event.

That shit needs to be private!

PS re: billing - just make it up. Do random billings. What could possibly go wrong??

Mrsbear said...

I don't watch Greek but I like my TV shows with relative happy endings too, especially when you know two people are supposed to end up together. I hate when they drag it on to the next season. Just get together already.

I don't think I've ever run a mile, walked maybe, but never in under 15 min. Congrats.

My husband is also obessed with Transfomers. His inner dork is definitely coming out. The first movie was our first date after my son was born (so very romantic).

Happy Random Tuesday!

You can roll with random as well as Otin!!! Excellent.

Did the kids shirt fit?? I can wear my kids clothes now :-)

Sprite's Keeper said...

Sprite was into Elmo before she ever saw Sesame Street too. Just wait until you start going over colors and he calls the color red "Elmo". Sprite did that to a Christmas stocking once.

Keely said...

Uh, I kinda want to see the Transformers movie. Like, badly.

The public proposal thing would make me vomit.

"Melmo" is pretty popular around here, too. Sigh.

Cara said...

Today at Target, one of the managers had a Transformer tattoo on the back of her calf. That thing had to be 10" long. Fugly as hell.

Not quite sure when my kid got on the Elmo craze either. She used to hate the furry little bastard & would scream every time she saw him. Now? They are best friends.

Casey said...

I think Elmo (Melmo) is toddler crack. Both of my kids flip their lids when they see him.

Ugh, tacky proposals all around should be banned.

Optimistic Pessimist said...

I agree about not proposing at a sporting event...I would have had the same reaction as you.

Valerie said...

I can't believe you grabbed your son's shirt! What a bummer!! Did you still work out??

I liked the transformers movie. Hubby is excited for the second one.
