Feeling Pressure to Lighten Up

So, I've been told my blogs have been a little depressing....sorry, I'm a little depressed. But, I understand my role of "class clown" so I will try to share a funny story so that you'll know I'll be ok.

Today I was watching some stupid Lifetime Movie with Megan, just veggin' when an infomercial came on, with that one guy, you know the OxiClean screamer. I don't know why, but Megan and I are both infomercial fans, so we watched with excitement the latest in houseware technology. It was for this glue like stuff that you can use on clothes. It's not glue, but a stretchable organic substance....something like that. We watched in awe as he "sewed/glued" pockets on pants, hems on a skirt, the upholstery on his car! It was amazing. And yes, it holds up in the wash. Then for some reason I decided I needed to express my amazement at this particular product, but I sometimes forget how loud I can be. Apparently I screamed "Sweet, I need that!" at the top of my lungs. Megan looked at me like I was crazy, Ken came running down the stairs asking what was the matter, the neighbor called and asked if we heard that weird noise (ok, so I made up the last one.)

After our afternoon bonding, we went to one of the local restaurants where I have made friends with one of the waiters. It was his last day, so I wanted to wish him well. He is about 24, and cute as a button. I am trying to set him up with one of the young chicks from work because he's just so cute. I asked to be seated in his area, and the hostess said his section was full. Again, not really considering what I was saying I said, "He wants me." REALLY, think before you open your mouth Jodi. When we got at the table Megan said in her best mom impersonation, "Sweet, I need that!"

To add a little bit of sentimentality to this blog I'll tell you that while we were at Wal-Mart I ran into one of their lovely greeters with a big name tag that said....."JODELL" really! I told her I had never seen anyone before who had my name. Is it a coincidence that I run into someone who has a name that came to my mother in a dream? I think not. Maybe her little way of telling me she still close by.
