A Little-a This And A Little-a That
Overheard at the breakfast table:
Oldest son to daughter: You’re so ugly that when you entered the ugly contest, they said "No professionals allowed."
They were eating a clean meal at the time, btw.
————————————
Last night at the dinner table:
5 yr old son: Mom, you can spread the butter on the corn on the cob with your feet.
Me: WHAT? I can spread butter with my feet?
5 yr old son: You really can. Monkeys do it.
Me: When did you EVER see a monkey spread butter with their feet….or eat corn on the cob for that matter?
5 yr old: I seen ‘em around.
———————————-
It was warm…89 degrees…for the first time in a loooong time on Saturday. I was totally enjoying being out in the blazing sun, wearing my flip flops, and watching my kids play baseball at the Jamboree. Everyone was complaining about the heat, but I couldn’t get enough of it. It’s been a very cold Winter and it was about time I could just sit back and relax without tons of layers on me.
So with that came the women I know who I haven’t seen all Winter. We all hibernate for the season, so it was good to see everyone. They commented on how great I looked 
One mom in particular and I had seen each other at the gym a few weeks ago and didn’t have a chance to talk. She was running on the treadmill while I was in the free weights section. But when she saw me on Saturday, she called me skinny mini and asked if I was training for something.
I told her I wasn’t.
She said it looked like I was with everything I was doing when she saw me that day.
I told her that maybe I should with how hard I’m working. It’s just a matter of figuring out what I’d want to compete in.
Hmmm….the possibilities.

Kudos … and impressive! I’m hoping to hit the point where people ask me that some day. If that day comes along, I’ll remember your blog entry and think "I just won." It’ll validate all the working out when people think I’m busting my backside so much that I’m out to compete.
And, well, DUH. You haven’t seen monkeys spread butter on corn with their feet and then eat it? I figured EVERYONE would have been in on that one by now…. ;P
Oh, and you are indeed looking good in your pics. Very good work in the gym (and the kitchen).

It is a wonderful thing when the sun is shinning and the ‘clothing for personal protection’ part of the year is over with.
Congrats on people noticing. If I can notice based soley on a little 1" x 1" picture on the internet, I’m sure the results are even more impressive in person. It does not suck when you start to hear people talk about what you’ve done to/with yourself. Good work!

Ditto. Affirmations of your hard work…..cool.

Great stories. I’ll have to use the ugly line with one of my coworkers. We’re really mature around here. You’re putting all of the other ladies to shame. They’re so jealous. Great job.

Great job and maybe you will decide to compete in something.

told you all that hard work you have been doing was totally going to be worth it. All that sweat is now going to be paying off, while all the other women at the ballgames are going to be wearing clothes to cover their laziness.
YOU GO GIRL

Monkey’s also fling their own poo. So I’m not sure he should looking up to them.

You’re working so hard, you deserve the compliments!!
Your 5 year old sounds AMAZING! I love kids and their way of complimenting! I’m pretty sure he’s just trying to tell you that you’re cool and could do all of the amazing things that he KNOW monkeys can do.

Wow, when you said you take it off, you really take it off…LMAO. JK. But you do look amazing, and you should be proud of your hard work!

Shannon… you should totally compete! You have the figure and body style for it! And you already know that you have what it takes to work your ass off! Start figuring out what you want to compete in and then go for it! And you know there are tons of people here that could give you advice. I don’t know that I’m one of them, but I can shower you with well deserved compliments!!
And I love the kid stories… much better than Al’s hurling stories!
LMAO!
