Five Random Bits

Since it’s Thursday afternoon and we’ve been known to veer off into random territory (like this, this, this, and this), I thought I’d toss another one on the barbie, er, blog. Below are things you probably never knew about me and John. Is it proof of our over-sharing tendencies? Yes. Evidence that we’re more than a little weird? Absolutely. But we just had so much fun with a Ten-Things-You-Didn’t-Know-About-Us post waaay back in 2009…

Didnt Know Burgrr

… that we thought it was high time we broke out this post three years later. So without further ado, some random bits:

1. I’ve always wanted to name a band. Not be in one or marry a rockstar. Just name one. All the time I say something weird and exclaim “that would make a great band name!” My favorite band name brain child: “What Ever Happened To Breckin Meyer?” (said out loud after seeing an old Road Trip trailer). Other favorites: “Exhibit A” and “Venn Diagram.” I know, I know. I’m certifiable. But it’s my idea of a good time. Also, I came up with “Pass The Mustard” last night and I’m kinda into it…

2. We assign babies to correlating animals. In a very very loving way. For example Clara’s a turtle. And a little bird. We see both of those animals in her all the time.We have about a million pictures that we glance at and say “Tuuurtle!” or “It’s The Bird!” She also has cousins who are a chipmunk, a bear, a monkey, and a puppy. Seriously, they all have assigned animals – at least in our heads. Here’s Clara’s “angry bird” face.

29Months Scream

3. I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea (and I might be a little scared if she was), but I’m totally under (as in, in no way over) Bethenny Frankel. I’ve seen every episode of Housewives Of New York, Bethenny Getting Married, Bethenny Ever After and even read her book called A Place Of Yes (I thought hearing about things like almost getting on the regular Apprentice and ending up on the Martha Stewart one were fascinating because there’s lots of behind the scenes stuff). And this next part might be polarizing to admit, but once a few years ago after a particularly good old episode of Housewives of New York I turned to John and said “now I totally understand why people get tattoos of celebrities.” Yikes, right? I just adore her hilarious honesty about herself – and I know some people are over her now, but I’m still on the train. She’s just so quick to confirm that she went crazy or had a lapse of judgment instead of denying it. I think it’s refreshing and I try to use that as my inspiration when I’m feeling defensive. That’s right, Bethenny Frankel is my inspiration. Hey, whatever works, right?

4. Nearly almost every day of Clara’s first six months on this planet she peed on her dad while he changed her diaper. We heard that was only a boy thing, but as soon as the first diaper came off, she just let it flow. And she usually made the face below. Is that not a Dr Evil/Mini-Me face or what? Hilarious. Note: John did not find it as hilarious as I did.

Cloth Dipes 6

5. John’s favorite comeback (well, maybe second to “That’s What She Said”) is “Your Face.” No matter what someone says. For example, this dialog has actually transpired in our house – Sherry: “Oh man, did you leave that bag out in the car?” John: “Your face.” And for some reason I laugh every time. It’s his catch phrase. And I guess if pressed mine is “I do what I want!” spoken in a faux bratty tone. Even as a response to John asking if I’ll hand him the remote (which I then do and follow up with a pouty “here, but only because I wanted to”). Dorks for life.

Now it’s your turn. Tell me five random things, or at least one, about you. Do you put ketchup on your steak? Sing show-tunes in the shower? Count stairs whenever you’re on them (I totally do that in my head most of the time). Come on guys, let’s have some Thursday afternoon bonding, shall we?

    Bethenny = my female crush. I love everything about her! And my totally weird and crazy obsession is counting holes in letters (I know, so strange!). So Sherry has one hole in the e. Yea, sometimes it takes me forever to read a sign because I’m too busy counting holes!

    1. I too am obsessed with B-Frankel. We don’t have cable so I bought every season pass to Bethenny Ever After. Best show ever.

    2. I have to take a bath instead of a shower most days because my 4 month old screams when she hears the shower…she’s a little sensitive.

    3. I have read every.single.YHL.post. I was a week overdue this summer and I was too pregnant to sleep, so I read 3 blogs all the way through.

    4. ^ That sounds creepy reading back over it. I’m not creepy…just bored. Well, I used to be. Now I would pay a million dollars to be bored instead of bouncing the grumpiest baby ever born all day. But she’s cute so it’s okay.

    5. My daughter poops on her dad every time he takes diaper duty…every time. Tell John he’s lucky he only got peed on!

    What a fun post!

    My boyfriend has a favorite comeback as well “YOU’RE… !”

    example: “Hurry up you’re using all of the hot water!”
    comeback: “YOU’RE using all of the hot water!”

    example: “You are going to be cold if you wear that.”
    comeback: “YOU’RE going to be cold!”

    Drives me crazy / makes me laugh every time. Cannot be argued.

    As for me:
    I hate being barefoot. I always wear socks at home. Sometimes I even wear socks out in the grass in the summer, which I know is crazy. I love socks.

      Oh my god my husband and I do that too! It could be something totally random regarding what the other is doing like: “wow that’s really burnt toast.” He’ll say, “YOU’RE really burnt toast!!” HAHAHAH I love it, it’s so goofy.

      And I’m the opposite with socks, I can’t stand em unless it’s freezing and my toes are icicles.

  5. Michelle C. says

    My husband and I often call each other “Charlie” in a (bad) english accent based on this youtube video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBlgSz8sSM

    No idea how or why we started doing it, but we can’t seem to stop!

    In line with “I do what I want!” I always say, “you’re not the boss of me!” to pretty much any request, particularly if it is a street sign that tells me things like “Do Not Pass” or “No Turn on Red.” (I say it but then I still do whatever it is anyway… I’m not THAT crazy! ;-))

    • Ammie says

      A few years back, my sister and I would respond “I’m Charlie” when someone asked if we wanted to do something, as in ‘I’m down like Charlie Brown’ that we shortened for some reason…

      ex:

      Her: Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
      Me: I’m Charlie…

      So weird

  6. Sarah B says

    I love randomness!!

    As far as catchphrases/sayings/etc go… my boyfriend and I turn whatever the other says about something into something about them. That sounds really confusing… he might say “this blog is off the hook” then I would say “YOU’RE off the hook” except neither one of us actually ever says “off the hook.”

    I also count stairs/steps! I think it started in grade school on my walks to the bus stop. I would also count earthworms on rainy mornings (sometimes over 100!).

    All of my animals have middle names, nicknames, and/or ridiculous long/extended names. Dog Taylor is Taylor Made, Tay-Tay, Tatertot, and Tots. Cat #1 Louie is Philip, King Louie IVX, and Cat. Cat #2 Alex is Alexander the Great… he’s only 4 months old so hasn’t earned other names yet.

    I’m wordy today.

    I’m totally with you on the band naming business. I actually had to do a TShirt/Logo/Poster etc. for a fictional band in one of my design classes in college. I called the band “Left of Center” – which I still think is pretty clever :)

    Random Thing #1 – I was just informed that when I type of my laptop, I mouth all the words I am writing along with making the appropriate facial expressions (if I’m writing something I think is funny, I start silent laughing, etc.) The random part is I had NO IDEA I did it but apparently it’s been happening for years and everyone has been secretly laughing at me….sad….;-)

    Random Thing #2 – For the better part of 25 years, I was convinced that the song Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean was actually Caribou Queen….dead convinced…..and sang it out loud like that for years and years….until I was 33 years old….

    Random Thing #3 – Flying squirrels are an underappreciated animal. I’m on a one woman mission for people to recognize their greatness. Hello, it’s furry, cute, and it can fly?? Why aren’t more people in awe??

    my go-to comeback is also “i do what i want” but my husband’s is without a doubt, “your mom.”

    i assign certain flavors of food to cities i’ve visited. strongbow cider tastes like london, anything lemony tastes like rome, etc.

    when i was pregnant every time i wore my jeans with the huge stretchy panel i would lift my shirt up and rub the panel and ask my husband how sexy i was. the response was *always* just an eyebrow raise.

    lately when i’m right about something (a fact, an assumption, etc.) i have a tendency to raise at least one of my hands and either say or shout “winner, winner, chicken dinner!”

    when i was growing up my favorite sandwich was pickles, mustard, and cheddar cheese.

    I do count stairs myself, not in an OCD way, I just count stuff in general. Weirdo here! I also am not over Bethenny. I love her! I love her honesty and she’s hilarious. Can’t wait to get her talk show in Houston. We have comebacks in our house but at the moment I can only recall one. I ask my husband where he is going, his response “I’m leaving, I’m tired of this S#!t.” Really, he’s going to the kitchen.

    1. I totally have to wipe off a table if it has crumbs on it (not if it doesn’t or even if it has a something else on it, just crumbs… and I’m not even that clean of a person or OCD!)
    2. my husband uses the term “ticksy” -.-
    3. I like to organize the house to put off cleaning it. lol does that make any since AT ALL?!
    4.I pat down my pizza before eating it
    5.I’v discovered I’m rather picky with children’s clothes. (I don’t like things that look “kidish or babyish)… odd… I know.

    I make up band names too! My favorite right now is Electric Fuzz. And I’m also guilty of the “Your Face!” comeback. It’s so versatile.
    Husband: “I love you.”
    Me: “I love YOUR FACE!”

    I can do the worm like no one’s business. It’s come in handy at many a fun wedding. I’m pretty sure I’m invited to a wedding next month based heavily on this fact alone. I don’t mind tooting my own horn on this. It’s all very fluid, and once I get started I can take it around the dance ring in circles, get enough air under me that I’m a few feet off the ground – it’s insane.

    If it helps, my daughter peed on me too. My wife also thought that this was funny. Our 9 month old son has missed me, but he has certainly made some attempts.

    We used animal names for our daughter, but we’ve used comic book characters for the boy (I may have had an influence on this).

    omg sherry…i do the animal thing too! i once spent hours at work assigning animals to my co-workers…some were not impressed..but man i did a good job! if i had the file, i swear i would send it to you for fun! oh, and i resemble an alpaca! and i’ve said this before…you look like burger!! you’re a chiwawa!

    Oh man I laughed out loud at #4 – Clara’s facial expression made it even funnier! Our little boy is pretty good about keeping himself contained during diaper changes but lately has taken to occasionally peeing in the bathroom sink when we’re removing his diaper before his bath – he’s got good aim for a 9 month old!

    My random bit of weirdness is that my favorite times to punch into the microwave are 35 and 45…until my husband pointed out that 33 and 44 are even more efficient since you don’t have to punch a different number and now I do those!

    Also – I have a friend that I always call when I’m stuck in traffic, she does the same for me.

    1) My husband nicknamed the kitchen Jamnation. He calls me Jam, and I’m forever telling him that the kitchen is my domain (especially when it comes to decor). Therefore, it is Jamnation.

    2) We’ve assigned our animals voices. Bea sounds like Eeyore, Autumn has a lisp, and Roo is haughty.

    3) I start a lot of sentences like this “So…”

    And this is why I love YHL.

    First, I still LOVE Bethenny Frankel too and also don’t care that people are over her. I love how she just puts it all out there and has embraced her faults and quirks – I feel like she’s totally real and it’s definitely refreshing compared to all the other crazy reality people out there. Also, totally weird but I also say “I do what I want” in a bratty voice to my husband all the time.

    Ok, now on to my own randomness – I LOVE Duck Dynasty on A&E. My husband randomly caught some reruns, got me to watch it and now we are obsessed. We just can’t stop laughing when we watch it, and we just got my parents hooked over Thanksgiving as well! If you know me, I am pretty girly girl so my family also found it hilarious that I love the show, but I totally do.
    People also usually find it random that I’m really into ice hockey – my dad was just really into hockey growing up and so that became my number one sport to follow (yes, even above football). And no, I’m not from Canada. Go Pens! :)

    3. I know the contents of every Babysitters Club Book ever written-because I still read them
    4. During bad thunder/lightning storms I cower in the one spot in the house that is out of view of any window
    5. We don’t turn on the heat until December 1st (it’s the principle!!) and in our non-insulated old house that means that the temps barely get out of the 40s

    We most assuredly still drop “I know you are but what am I?” at our house on a pretty daily basis…along with “thats what she said.” also used to work security on my alma mater’s campus – I could tell you how many steps it was to, and through, every building. I’m glad I’m not the only one!

    I always assign people animals too! I thought I was the only weird one. But if I see someone who I think looks like a turtle, I also have to add (in my head) a sound effect “ba-dum, be-dum, ba-dum, be-dum” as they walk.

    I say, “I’ll be the judge” a lot. It’s not so funny to my husband because it’s the catch-phrase of a friend of mine from my “ex” boyfriend days (14.5 years ago). So it’s random that he doesn’t like it. It didn’t come FROM the ex, but the friend. Anyway, I always think I’m funny because I can hear him saying it in my head. Can’t fight it, why try?

    My 29-year old, grown man of a husband uses the “Your Mom” comeback daily. Example: I’ll say something like “the garage is really dirty”, to which he replies “Your mom is really dirty” – and then he laughs like a 10 year old boy!

    Reply

    • Melody Barton says

      My husband does this too, except it’s not “Your mom…” He would say “You’re really dirty.” And of course, he follows up any particularly insulting ones with “that was a good one.”

  33. Rachel says

    I totally agree with you about Bethanny Frankel. My husband thought I was nuts for being obsessed with her but then he watched her and saw that he pretty much married her. I have frequent meltdowns, I’m a little ( a lot) crazy and I have trouble letting my husband do anything (which usually leads to me being over worked, cue the meltdown). I’m really rooting for Bethanny and Jason because if they can make it work, my husband and I can too (same personality combination).

    Oh and my husband’s catch phrase is “your face” as in “You didn’t do the dishes!?!”…”Your face didn’t do the dishes” aaand I crack up laughing. His parents think we’re nuts. My parents are glad they don’t have to live with me (see Bethanny Frankel resemblance above)

    Reply

  35. Steph says

    AHAHAHA! My roommate and I do the your face thing ALL. the. time. We will just be sitting there and someone will say “I’m sleepy.” and the response is usually “Your face is sleepy!” And then it tends to go into “Your face is a face.” “Your butt is a face.” and so on. We’re mature.

    At work I’m a big fan of “That’s what she said” or “That’s what he said.” or if appropriate “That is NOT what you want her to say.”

    We also jokingly call each other husband (me to her) and wife (her to me.) We discovered that we’re like a married couple living together (without you know.. THAT.) so we’ve embraced it. We think it’s hysterical.

    Finally, I will admit this here… I LOVE the Kardashians. I know a lot of people hate them, and they’re famous for no reason. But I think they’re gorgeous and awesome. And kind of brilliant. Famous for no reason? I’d take it.

    I have always eaten salami with ketchup. For the longest time I thought it was something my dad did and I got it from him, until he confirmed recently that he has never eaten that combination in his life. I have no clue where I got it from but it’s distinctly me. My husband thinks it’s totally gross.

    I have probably named hundreds of fictional, nonexistent bands in my day. A coworker of mine and I “formed” a band years ago(I won’t share the name) but the title of our first single – which of course was never more than a title -was “My pants make my fat hurt.”
    I also count stairs, but only to 8. Then I start over again. I’ve often wondered about that…
    I name just about everything – I have a similar-to-Sherry ceramic animal addiction, and they are each named. Abe the squirrel, Charlie the elephant, Hedwig & Errol the owl bookends, etc.
    It’s so fun to read all the comments!

      I wonder if you only count to 8 and then start over because music is timed in counts to 8? It seems like walking up stairs and counting would have a rythm to be counted like a song.

  38. Stef says

    My husband says “Your face!” to me endlessly. His other big winner is, and I’m totally not joking here, “do you want me to poop on you?” As in, that’s not something creepy we’re into, but I’ll say something like “ugh I have the worst headache” and he’ll reply with “do you want me to poop on you?”

    So. Yeah. Life with husbands.

    I tend to narrate my life and often get made fun of for the sound effects that get incorporated into my speech. However once I’ve made some extremely odd sound (crazy noise the computer made when I did something wrong, weird car trouble noise, etc) I can almost never repeat it.

    However, recently I’ve started sayihng “womp, womp” when I make a mistake. Drop a piece of cake on the floor, “Womp, womp.” I don’t make the actual noise sad trombone noise, I say the word for the noise. SO WEIRD.

    I’m a big Adam Carolla fan. None of my friends are, just me hah. I started to listen to him when he was on the radio in California, mostly during work (and I live on the east coast ha). It’s been about 4 years since and I listen to his podcast pretty much daily, been to a few of his shows, buy his books/movie (yes, he made a movie “The Hammer” it’s actually a good movie). It still feels a little weird to be a huge fan of his, since I imagine most of his fans being dudes (and I’m definitely not a dude).

    1) I’m not sure if it’s an interesting fact, or something that now makes me feel like you Eminem video does, but I saw Titanic 18 times in theatres… From December to April I went every Sunday afternoon to a matinee showing (tickets were $4 back then, so it’s not as insane).

    2)I also can only eat green beans if I put ranch dressing on them.

    3) I’m 29 and still have trouble figuring out my left from my right. When I’m driving or giving someone directions, I have to make L’s with my fingers to figure it out.

    4) I don’t want kids, but I love coming up with baby names, so I have lists and lists of name combinations I like.

    5) I’m from North Carolina, but I HATE most southern food. I seriously gag when presented with fried chicken, BBQ, okra, etc.

      I make L’s too and am so happy there are other people out there. It also drives my husband banana sandwich crazy and his response…every..single..time..is “Your other Left” if I don’t make them.

      My left/right trick is to imagine which hand feels natural to hold a pen. That’s my right and the one that feels weird is my left.

  42. Brady says

    Oh man I LOVE Bethenny too! Isn’t she just the best? And Jason and Cookie and Bryn?! Bryn is just the cutest.

    I also say “I do what I want”. Maybe it’s a Jersey thing!

    One random thing that annoys that HECK out of my husband and I think is hilarious: he gets really annoyed if I point my fingers at him in the shape of a gun. Sometimes I do it by accident and have to say “NO! WAIT! That wasn’t pointed at you! It was pointed right behind your shoulder!”

    I don’t have that little flap that connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth.

    Pets in my family live a long time. Our cat was 21 when she died and our dog is 14 and pretty sprightly still.

    Hope 3 random things works well enough!

    3. Speaking of which, I love rodents of almost all types. Or pretty much anything with a furry face and beady eyes.
    4. My favorite color was discontinued by Crayola (green-blue)
    5. I can’t whistle. (My 4-year-old niece can, but I can’t.)
    6. My favorite punctuation mark is the parenthesis. (Obviously.)

    We totally name bands all day. Our personal favorite is “Julio the Cat” from a Friends episode where Pheobe found a cat and was convinced it was her mom reincarnated.

    1. I have a very specific fear of child ghosts. I don’t even belive in ghosts, I just know if I ever saw a little kid ghost, I would lose my…crap.

    2. I can’t STAND for anything to touch my knees. Even tight pants.

    3. I see all doorknobs as “empty” unless something is hanging on them. Ie. trashbags, hoodies, coat hangers. My husband HATES things hanging on doorknobs.

    4. I loathe all yellow foods/flavor. Banana, lemon, squash.

    5. I gutted and remodeled our kitchen ( by myself)two years ago by myself and I cried almost everyday bc I I thought I had gotten in over my head. Turned out pretty good.

    My husband is a big “your face”-er too. A request to take out the garbage always elicits a “take our your face” response. In fact, all domestic requests of him usually elicit a face comment! But it’s all in good fun.

    My husband and I call any kind of electronic voice (GPS, etc) “Susie.” For example, when the GPS is constantly telling us to “turn around when possible” we yell “Shut up, Susie, you don’t know what you’re talking about!”

    Oh, and we don’t call our cats by their given names, like, ever. Hence why they don’t know their names. Haha We have a big fat white kitty named Maggie who we call Fat Kitty, Fatty (we’ve tried to put her on a diet but she has a serious binge eating disorder, lol), Big Kitty, Mags, Migs, Migalig, etc. Our other, smaller, cat named Abbie goes by Little Kitty, Abs, Abaliscious, Abalonia, AbbieCat, the list goes on. We have also never called each other by our given names, and it honestly sounds completely foreign if either of us do. We have a feeling it will be the same way with our future kids, so we have to make sure that a short version of their name sounds just as good as the longer version.

    That’s right, we’re nickname-a-holics!

    I time myself in everything. I think I want to be hyper-efficient so I’ve been known to, eh-hem, time myself while taking a bathroom break. I’ll put my tea in the microwave for a minute and it’s a success if I make it out before it dings. Oh, that only starts my weirdness. Like the urge to finish everything. I swear it’s sweet euphoria when I use up a pen or a bottle of anything!

    FYI, All humans are fall into one of two categories: Monkeys or Birds. ie: Sherry = monkey, John = bird, Clara = bird, Bethenny = MONKEY. I Could go on, but I am sure you get the idea. Fun game.

    I love this post! Something I do every time I leave my house is, go to the stove and make sure all burners are off. I know this isn’t too weird but I always say, “off, off, off, off (as I am counting) and then I say YES!

      I TOTALLY do this!!! And I have to be paying attention. Sometimes I’ll check the stove real quick and then go to leave and think “did I check the stove??” and have to go check again. I have 4 burners and a dial for the oven. so my saying is “Off Off Off. Off Off.” :)

      My boyfriend does that! I always stand just outside the front door and say “off, off, AWFUL!”
