Wow, how do some people go on and on and on about themselves? It's taken me 20 minutes to think of this stuff and its really not that great. I don't know myself very well, I'm basically a stranger to me. I remember what I liked to do as a kid more than what I like to do as an adult. My adult life consists of kid chauffeuring, eating, cleaning, working, and very little sleep.

The dislike of Chinese food is explained here.

I loved Chinese food, sometimes had it three times a week. I wanted something quick yesterday at lunch. I decided to go to my favorite Chinese place, China Express. I like the lady that owns it, she always remembers to ask about the girls and Tim. It is buffet. I made my first plate, the bar was kind of empty, so I made a 2nd round. I got the pepper beef, teriyaki chicken, crab ragoons and chicken wings. I was eating fast, trying not to be late for work. The last thing on my plate was the chicken wings. I ate one and then picked up the last one. I took a bite, chewed, noticed it was more crunchy that the other, looked at what I was eating...and that's when I felt it in my mouth...

I could feel the wings on my tongue and its little legs scratching the roof of my mouth...

stupid me, I swallowed what I had chewed and spit out the remainder which was only half of the FLY. There were other flies fried to the chicken wing. These flies did not land after the chicken was put on the bar, they were COOKED with the chicken.

Now I have to go, my stomach is churning again...

Chinese food is ruined for me for a long, long time.

Tune in 2morrow for an exciting update of the Lives of the Teenage Love Affair, I promise its a good one.

P. S.
How freaky is this? Do you remember on all the post about the crazy times I have that I end it with,"Admit it, you all want to be me"? I always knew there would be one person who would try to be me. Dianna, my bestest friend for 14 years, "my person" (Greys Anatomy), tried to be me yesterday. She could have picked a better day to try to be me, I do have good days sometimes...

She was at home, innocently finishing dinner and sat her canned drink down for a minute. Shelby, her youngest, took a swig. Dianna hates it when folks drink her drink and backwash. She picked up her can and noticed it was almost empty, finished it off and there was a something, like a piece of meat, she said in her mouth. She thought that Shelby had backwashed and that it could be taco meat. She spit out A HUGE HAIRY FLY.

How freaky is that? Both of us, in the same day? AND she had just finished telling her family about my fly encounter.

Late last night, while waiting to pick up kids, we were texting each other, like at 11 pm. We placed blame for our days frustrations on the fact that we both ate flies. I thought about it for a minute and texted her this..."The flies were just innocent bystanders, they did not ask to be dinner". Don't you all think that we were wrong in blaming those poor innocent flies?

Do you all want to be me?
