My son won his first basketball playoff game.

I said "no" when offered a scoop of apple pie ice cream.

I "banned" my husband from ever grilling chicken again. (FORBIDDEN!)

I started AND finished all of the school shopping for my boys.

I was "kicked out" of my son's second basketball playoff game and ordered to "leave the facilities immediately."

I farted loudly inside of Mervyns and although tempted to blame one of my kids, I took full responsibility by raising my hand and actually saying the words "That was me."

All of these things, except for ONE, actually happened this weekend. Care to guess which one did NOT actually happen?

Ohhhhh......
Dang.
Can't do it. Except maybe the one about getting kicked out of the basketball game? Yep, yep, that'll be my guess. I guess.

Ummm.... Well- If I have gleened anything from your blog-- it is definitely that you totally appreciate a good fart... so I think you probably did drop one in Mervyns and own up to it....
So I think maybe you are fibbin' about the school shopping.
Also? Who would ban a husband from helping to PREPARE A MEAL!?! Seriously-- if you did that you are dead to me... (I'll still read your blog though, 'cause you are funny as hell!!!)

OK, I haven't been reading your blog for that long, but I'm still going to wager a guess....( I just couldn't pass it up)

I'm guessing that you didn't really get kicked out of your son's b-ball game....hmm....is that what I'm guessing?....well...yeah....yes! Okay....that's my final answer ;)

LOVE your blog! :)

Hmmm - I think the being kicked out of the game one is untrue. If not, I wanna hear what happened!

Posted by: Cee at August 27, 2006 11:05 PM

It's the ice cream, right? And so what? So bloody what? Enjoy it. You are beautiful just the way you are.

Posted by: Kristin at August 27, 2006 11:21 PM

omg... I've been reading your blog on and off for a couple weeks and haven't posted, but this made me laugh so hard... and I'm guessing you DIDN'T finish your boys' back to school shopping?!

Posted by: Charity at August 27, 2006 11:56 PM

Wow, hard choice. I know you farted in Mervyns. We've all done that. Saying no to ice cream? You're not insane! So I'm betting that you didn't finish up the shopping.

Posted by: margalit at August 28, 2006 01:19 AM

I'd have to go with turning down the ice cream. No self respecting woman would turn down a scoop of ice cream.

Posted by: Kim at August 28, 2006 03:33 AM

hmmm - I'll go with *finishing* the school shopping. In any event, we'd better hear the backstories for all of the above!

Posted by: Linda at August 28, 2006 04:33 AM

I'm going with the basketball game thing....Hoping that is it!

Posted by: mary at August 28, 2006 04:46 AM

My best guess would be that you did not Own up to Fart and you did instead blame the children???

Posted by: BethS at August 28, 2006 05:07 AM

I am guessing that every one of those things happened this weekend but that you DID in fact blame one of your boys for the loud farting.

Looking forward to hearing the details though, especially of the basketball game eviction.

Posted by: DeannaBanana at August 28, 2006 05:10 AM

I'm going to say you didn't even start the back to school shopping...

Posted by: chris at August 28, 2006 05:38 AM

I think you didn't get kicked out of the ballgame. But I bet you almost did, and that's what inspired you to say you did.

Hey Y, I gotta TypeKey ident just to use to comment in your blog, but when I click the "sign in" thingie and sign in, it says "The site you're trying to comment on has not signed up for this feature. Please inform the site owner." So consider your fine funny self informed! :)

Either the school shopping is a lie, or the fart thing (at least the part where you said "that was me").

Of course, it's probably the ice cream part, because that'd be pretty hard to turn down.

Posted by: Nina at August 28, 2006 05:57 AM

I vote for the school shopping.

Although, if it was me, it would be turning down the ice cream.

I want to hear what happened at that ballgame!

Posted by: stacey at August 28, 2006 06:37 AM

I am going to guess that you did not get kicked out of the b-ball game. I want to know what happened!

Posted by: p at August 28, 2006 07:02 AM

I'm going to go with banning him from grilling chicken. The rest of it is just too outrageous to be false.

Posted by: jonniker at August 28, 2006 07:44 AM

You didn't finish school shopping. Too good to be true.

Posted by: Culotte at August 28, 2006 08:18 AM

The shopping.

Posted by: Bev at August 28, 2006 08:22 AM

I'd have to go with the shopping part. Who ever wants to be done? ;)

Posted by: Melody at August 28, 2006 08:26 AM

You didn't get kicked out of the basketball game. Everyone loves you and I just don't see that happening.

Posted by: Amanda at August 28, 2006 08:26 AM

There is no way you are done with school shopping..seriously, done? No way. Now dish on all the other things that happened this weekend.

Posted by: wdc at August 28, 2006 08:44 AM

You didn't get kicked out of your son's game, is my guess.

Posted by: Ninotchka at August 28, 2006 08:51 AM

I started AND finished all of the school shopping for my boys.
For some reason I am guessing this one.

Posted by: Jennifer at August 28, 2006 09:00 AM

You didn't take the blame for the toot?

Posted by: shy me at August 28, 2006 09:09 AM

Dude, why would you ban Tony from cooking? I say it's that one.

Posted by: Amy at August 28, 2006 09:13 AM

I'm going to say that you didn't get kicked out of the game.

Posted by: Lisa at August 28, 2006 09:24 AM

I believe that you farted, but I don't think it was Mervyns. I bet it was Target!

Posted by: Karen at August 28, 2006 11:06 AM

Please let the responsible fart one be true.

Posted by: Sara at August 28, 2006 11:14 AM

I am gonna guess the basketball game, cuz it's summer/fall, and there isn't any basketball right now!

BTW, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog! I had to go to the library the other day cuz my computer was down, and I tried to get on your blog.....it wouldn't let me cuz it was deemed "tasteless"!!! That is the funniest thing I have ever heard! Of course it's tasteless,..that's exactly why I read it! Love it!

Posted by: Beth at August 28, 2006 12:36 PM

I know she busted ass here....so it can't be that one...

; )

Posted by: Mervyn at August 28, 2006 12:58 PM

The farting one, cause I don't think you would miss a chance to blame it on the kids.

Posted by: Denise at August 28, 2006 03:13 PM

No way did you ban chicken, didja?!

Posted by: demondoll at August 28, 2006 03:19 PM

I'm gonna say you didn't start and finish the school shopping.

Posted by: Edie at August 28, 2006 03:42 PM

i have nothing to add except, DEBBIE D!!!

Posted by: angela at August 28, 2006 04:28 PM

I have one thing to say pertaining to the title..
"look out weekend, here I come, because weekends were made for fun!!" I love that song .. the BEPs kick booty!!!

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
