You know how sometimes you’re tired, then the next day you are also tired and that continues for several days until you’re so tired you feel awake? But also like you’ve tipped back a whole bottle of wine and feeling kind of loopy?
That’s what you get today on It’s Blogworthy.
I just feel like word vomiting on my blog today and sharing some random thoughts that wouldn’t quite flesh out into a real blog.
You know what I like to do? Roll my eyes. I roll my eyes all the time at everything. There is nothing more satisfying than a good, hard eye roll when something is bothering you. Someone taking too long to pull out of a parking space? Roll your eyes at them! Someone sends you a stupid email asking you the same question you’ve answered 14,000 times already? Roll your eyes at it! Your husband someone acting like a ding dong? Roll your eyes at him them!
Seriously, try it. Savor the feeling of your eyeballs pushing taught against your eyelids. The delicious tug of your eye muscles as you rotate those balls right around in the socket. God, it’s exhilarating. It makes me feel alive.
That’s the STUFF.
I’ve gotten in trouble for my eye rolling before because I do it so indiscriminately. I may be a 30 year old woman, but I have the eyes of a 13 year old girl, what with all the rolling and so forth. I mean, one day I rolled my eyes at the dog. Really? Really Amanda? The dog? She doesn’t understand what an eye roll is. That’s not going to speed up her poop.
All this probably means I should cool it with the eye rolling before my child realizing what it means and I’m cursed to years of sassy childhood eye rolling.
PS. I just looked in my purse for my lipstick and discovered I have a can of cat treats in there. A whole can. If that’s the mark of a crazy cat lady, I don’t know what is.
So, there is this building on my way to work that used to house a pizza place, but the pizza place closed. Now that building is for rent. Ok, WAS for rent. Someone bought it, painted over the gigantic pizza mural on the store front, and popped up a new sign:
“Thirteenth Street Palace: Sushi and American Cousine”
Let’s break it down:
- Thirteenth Street Palace = better than State Route 441 Palace, for sure, but is it really a best practice to name a restaurant based on the street address when the address is a number?
- Sushi….and American? I wonder if they know, regardless of how prevalent Sushi places are in the US, that it’s not American food? One of these things is not like the other………….
- Cousine. I’m serious. Someone designed, proofed, printed and paid for a sign with the word Cousine.
One day I’m gonna get cray-cray enough to take a picture of that mother while I’m driving because I’m dangerous like that. Wild, like a tiger.
Imagine for a minute we work together. Your cube is right next to mine. Hi, neighbor! This blog is exactly the type of blabber you get whenever I alter my normal mental state with coffee, too much or not enough sleep, a carb coma or pregnancy hormones.
Oh my stars, I’m going to regret this post in the morning.
Are you feeling cray cray today? Word vomit in my comments please.

OMG, it’s hard to leave a comment here. How come? I’m barely able to remember my name let alone all that other stuff. You do sigh and click your tongue when you roll those eyes, don’t you? You gotta have the three actions together like synchronized swimming moves. I’m much older than you and still roll, sigh, click with the most immature of ‘em. It really aggravates my SIL. I love making him angry. hahahaha He hates the whole process. Makes me want to do it ever more. Is that enough word vomit for you? I’m good at that too.
I rolled my eyes three times while reading this post. Not *at* the post, but because I realized that I don’t roll my eyes, and I wanted to remind myself what it felt like. And now that I’ve done it, I’m betting that it is actually good for your eyes–sort of like the exercises they have people do to strengthen the eye-muscle-whatever.
So with that I say good for you and your 13 year old girl eyes! May they stay fresh and young forever. And may you get some sleep soon. I hate that crazy-exhausted feeling!

So how are you feeling about it now? I’m wondering if the eye rolling can help overcome the nausea from the meangirling going on in my life. I’m gonna try it! I definitely got in trouble for the eye rolls as a teenager
Hutch recently posted..Thankful Thursday is back!
I’m surprisingly at peace with it all. Still. Ask again after I get a good nights sleep. Eye rolling is perfect for mean girling! Its what eye rolls where made for!

It’s the only thing you can do sometimes when you just want to scream at someone and it’s inappropriate!

I am all about the eye roll. In the 5th grade I eye rolled my teacher and she slammed her fist on the desk in front of me!
YIKES!!! Yeah, an eye roll hater…they are no fun!

I am Queen of the Eye Roll. I distinctly remember being threatened with smackings as a teenager. In fact, I believe the awesomeness is genetic b/c all 3 of my offspring have inherited it. Even the small one. She’s 5 & already been warned about the eye rolling.

Okay, so my oldest daughter called me out today for rolling my eyes at her. I didn’t even realize I was doing it. Ooops.
And I would never eat at a place where they served Sushi and American and they had misspelled words. Just sounds like food poisoning waiting to happen.

Can you imagine the kind of Sushi they would be serving at the 13th street palace? *shudder*

There’s a restaurant in Palatka that advertises a sushi and BBQ buffet. Not Mongolian BBQ, but like pulled pork bbq. Amazing. In other news, I’ll continue to avoid the Pizza Palace building. It’s haunted or something… nothing ever makes it.

Ok, this really made me laugh. It’s amazing the things that people will put together and try to sell. Next time that building is empty I’m going to start a Fish & Chips and Nacho buffet.
Five years ago I had this student (right around 13 years old) who was a master eye roller. Her eyes went so far up in her head causing her lids to flutter. I actually teased her about it. I asked her if she practiced at home. I also tried to imitate her from time to time. After that I found myself picking up the same dirty habit. The bad habits we learn from other people….

I roll my eyes. It’s an art. You can convey so much with an eye roll.
I’m a eye rolling advocate.

Oh Yes! Little Miss Blogworthy’s family experienced her famous eye roll many times over the years. It usually lit Old Dad’s short fuse which then lit Miss Blogworthy’s short fuse resulting in dad and daughter bickering. Momma Blogwhorthy was the though referee who usually scolded both of us. Poor Old Dad lived under petticoat rule for many years…I could never win.

I sincerely wish you worked with me right now.

If we worked together, I’d tell you my famous (around the office) joke.
I’m watching my 1st episode of Toddlers & Tiara’s. I’m only 10 minutes in and my eyes already hurt from too much rolling.
And I think you seriously need to get a picture of that sign.

I’m sitting at my kids’ karate studio watching them train – I’m so hungry, I am WISHING I had a can of cat treats in my purse.
Yeah.
I’m tired too
XOXO
Hang in there. I loved the vomit. Really.

Ok, the eye rolling thing has gotten me in trouble SO MANY TIMES! I’m so glad I work at home now because, really, some of the idiots I deal with on a daily basis make it IMPOSSIBLE to keep the eyes normal. It’s still a phrase my dad uses “don’t you roll your eyes at me!”

Anytime I see “sushi” plus something completely unrelated, it totally screams 2 things to me.
1. It’s owned and operated by Asian immigrants.
2. It’s a buffet.
