No Wonderland for Alice

I am so glad that yesterday is over with, Let me explain... I came home from work and reading a book in bed. Eric was brushing his teeth, when he noticed water was dripping on him. Come to find out, that we have a leak in our ceiling from the old lady above us. It must be her toilet or something, she always has it running. Which I pretend is a waterfall before going to bed. It is really soothing to listen to it... After that, I have had tickets to Alice in wonderland, at the 10:00 pm show IMAX that I got online.

We went to go see the movie, and as we are walking into the theater our "assign" seats are taken up. We looked at our ticket, and I got the 11:55 pm movie! So we returned them, a long story short, we didn't see the movie at jordan commons. So we went to Union Heights (by our house). Eric gave me gift certificate for the movie that he got from his boss. As I was paying the cashier she said with a snubby voice, " These are for Jordan Commons, we are a Century theater." OH, I am sorry that my husband does not know the difference. I told the cashier that I wanted the 11:00 Show. As we are waiting to get our tickets ripped, the guy who was ripping the tickets said to Eric (as he is holding his mint icecream that he got at Jordan Commons), " You need to finish that outside."...

This is where I almost went crazy, Eric replied, " Oh i just got it at your other movie theater Jordan Commons." Oh I was so embarrassed, I even told him after out certificate fiasco that they were different "brands" of theaters. Oh I am so glad that Saturday is over with! As we got to the movie theater, We noticed that the time was at 10:00, and the lady gave me the wrong tickets, because it was 10:30... We had to go return them, they meant the movie time was at 11:00 am in the morning.. arg!
I have to go to the DMV tomorrow, so maybe Saturday won't be that bad!

Gone Fishin'

Sometimes I wonder where the heck Dixie came from. I wonder what kind of breed she is. My mom was telling me about a DNA test you can do on the internet, where they send you a test in the mail, and find out. Eric always says it would be a good idea, even though he is worried that she is 10% terrier with 90% human.

The other day, Eric and Dixie went on a walk. Now Dixie loves to go walk by the birds, and the ducks. She usually takes a big run for the pond, but forgets everytime that her leash will stop her. I think, she thinks that maybe her leash will just break somehow... but it doesn't. Well while she was on that walk, Eric said she ran to the pond as usual, but when Eric turned around, Dixie came back with a TROUT in her mouth. Yup, Dixie caught a fish! Eric said that the fish was already dead that came from creek. Dixie was walking around for a little bit, all proud, with a dead fish. Eric had to pry that fish from her mouth. Poor Dixie. Now we both know, how Dixie got a tapeworm... She eats everything! She is a good puppy, she Tries!

Does not Surprise me....

I think I am going crazy! Let me share a story with you all... Tonight I was watching the bachelor, final rose. Now what a stupid show, I know who he is going to pick, but yet I could not look away.

While I was watching the show, Eric decided to start up some laundry. I looked closer at what he was doing, and noticed the detergent he was putting in the washer was the same detergent that I was putting in the dishwasher. He then informed me that it was IN FACT laundry detergent. He then got the bag, that read, "TIDE". I have been putting in TIDE laundry detergent in our dish washer. It then made sense to Eric that was the reason the dishes had a "white film" on the glasses. He said he had no idea what that was, and he had to re-wash the dishes...

Now, I know that apparently I was mistaken... but we were using cascade that looked the exact same tablet that dissolves. I felt like I was going crazy... Tonight has been crazy, Lese beat the whole family in bowling... including Terr. She is quite good at bowling, but nothing really surprises me about Lese. Well everyone Have a good one!

speed skating

I am watching the speed skating right now as we speak. I get really frustrated at this sport, and I was told maybe that I voice my opinion to much. First, are Asians the only people that can skate? Is that one of the requirements for speed skating... Apparently there is really good ice in Korea. Anywho, my biggest complaint, is that they spend so much effort in pointing their skates when they are crossing the finish line. Wouldn't it be better if they didn't slow down and point their skate? I don't know, I think its weird...
Just another night at the Petersen home. Watching the Olympics, watching dixie drop her toy from the bed and grab it on the floor, then go back on the bed(for the millionth time), and just trying not to go crazy.

OCD and Tv Shows....

Eric was watching a TV show tonight. I was making dinner, and thought I would come over and watch with him. It happened to be commercials when I sat down, and Eric usually watches the food network station. As I was sitting down, the commercials ended, and the TV show continued. As it started, there was this scary music when the title of the show came on, it was called, "Monsters within us"... Yup, its about parasites. I started watching, it was such a scary show, but yet I could not look away. I do have to admit that it was on bed bugs and some rare killing parasite. I can handle any type of scary movie, I thrive on scary movies, but parasite tv shows, scare the H E double hockey sticks out of me! So as I have been contemplating, I have thought of a top ten list that OCD people probably shouldn't watch...


10. Monk
9. Real life Hoarder's
8. Clean Sweep
7. Obsessed ( A&E )
6. Monster's Inside Me
5. Dirty Jobs
4. Survivor
3. Man VS Wild
2. Dr. Oz investigates flesh eating bacteria episode on Oprah
1. Howie Mandel on Deal or no Deal

Well, that is a start. I thought it would be funny to share with our anxiety family! Have a good one

CRAZY

I am such a strong magnet to crazy people... Eric and I have had the weirdest experiences of weird people as of late. For instance, Eric was walking dixie when a middle aged man was walking his CAT on a leash. Eric has run into many crazy people in our apartment complex, including a girl that was walking her dog with just a bath robe on. He said it was really awkward.

BUT today was the worst! Eric and I was eating at our cafe at work, at ARUP. We were just eating and talking, when Eric nudged me, and said "Linds look at that guy!" I look over he is watching Lord of the Rings on a DVD player, with head phones, and IS eating his fries with CHOPSTICKS! Haha, what a weirdo! And he was dipping them in fry sauce with the chopsticks. Welcome to crazy town- thats what brooks always says.

If you have any crazy stories, Please share...My biggest fear is maybe I am the Weird One, and everyone else is normal... but I doubt it!

Observations...

I would like to share with you a story, that happened to me yesterday. I was in Dillards, going down the escalators. As I am coming down, another family is going up on the escalators across from me. I over hear the mom, telling the 5 year old, " You need to tie up your laces on your shoes, or you will get stuck." As I over heard this, I could help but think of the trauma that will cause the young child later in life.
I have a similar story to the young child. I remember going up the escalators in ZCMI and my mom would always tell me of the story about the girl that got her hair stuck in the escalator and died. Now my mom might not remember that story, but I sure do. I have noticed that on the "Morris" side we tend to be over-reactors. It seems to me, alot of stories get blown out of proportion. That story about the girl, probably was not even true... but being OCD makes me have a great imagination. So I wonder, if my mom was saying something to that effect, and I happen to imagine it all in my head. Even if the whole thing did not happen, I have always been really careful with my hair on the escalators.
