Being that I still have no computer at home and was also gone over the weekend I was unable to post a Sunday confession. So I'm going to confess on a Tuesday.
Do you have a nick name? I do. I can hear my Mom already saying "No Krissy No" but it's a confession so I have to confess.
My nick name is "One sock Kris" Do I need to say more? Oh, I feel the need to say more!
I like to think that I have a cast iron stomach and I do, it's my digestive track that is wimpy.
I have a hard time going for a walk without making some kind of stop. And if I for some reason don't have some TP or PT with me then, you guessed it, I use a sock. Hey, a girls got to do what a girl needs to do.
One time I was walking my dog on a bike path in Anchorage early in the morning and I felt that rumble in my lower tummy. I was to far along the path to make it back to the truck where supplies where at. I, thank God, was wearing socks. I walked off into the woods and found the spot. ( Early morning like 6.30a, nobody was about) and did what I needed to do and tossed the sock over the cliff. I started to pull up my pants, CRAP! Right there about 20 feet away was a moose! I quickly pulled them up and I had to back track quite a bit to get to the path. I was on the path and CRAP! I did not have my truck keys with me, CRAP! I had left them back where I had done the deed, but now I knew that there was a moose there. What to do, what to do? Well, I walked back into the woods, keeping an eye on the moose as she had moved a little bit. Do you know how hard it is to find 3 keys on a ring in the wood all the while keeping an eye out on the moose? It all started to look the same. Then I saw it. Yep, I spotted it, my sock got hung up on a branch and did not go over the cliff! Yes! I knew my keys were close. I looked for about 5 more minutes and found them. Had to once again go around the moose to get back on the bike path. So an hour walk turned into about an 2 hour walk.
As I was walking back to the truck my tummy rumbled again. I ignored it and drove home fast.
Do you have a nick name? You ever been caught with your pants down?
Sorry Mom that I used the word Crap 3 times. ( Now 4 times.)

That's too funny!! I have never considered using a sock. I usually rely on the tissue in the truck or in my pocket. Talk about expensive TP. :o)
ReplyDeleteMy nickname is more related to my name. My parents have always called me Tessie, or Tess, as well as the rest of my family. My sister used to call me Terry before she could pronounce my name properly. I've been call Terry from coworkers, but now I get called Tess there too. My husband usually calls me Therese (French pronunciation).
The worse thing about my nickname is what it rhymes with. When I was in the 5th grade, we went back to school after Christmas vacation. One of my classmates saw an ID bracelet that my aunt gave me for Christmas that had Tessie on it. Well, didn't he have a field day with that! He had created a little rhyme for Tessie that I quickly despised. For years afterward I hated being called Tessie. Only when I got older, high school to be exact, did I start appreciating my nickname again.
Nothing like your sock TP story, but it's all mine.
tmi, AK, tmi....
ReplyDeleteI've always hated that Patty rhymes with Fatty. Patty Fatty Two by Four, couldn't get through the kitchen door. Do kids still say that? Do you know that a 2x4 is actually quite thin! I suppose it meant two feet tall and four feet wide...I don't know. I just know I hated it. Adults are much nicer. I loved it when Dad called me Patrish, as in "Patrish, feed my fish." Some times I think I should insist on everyone calling me Patricia but I know it won't work. I WILL NOT ALLOW PAT! Ever since the SNL "Just Pat" I can't abide that name.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a nickname, but I do have a comment about the bathroom problem. There is a Wisconsin native plant that you'll find out in the woods...it works wonderful when you don't have TP! It's green, round leaves and soft!!!
ReplyDeleteRemember, Poisin Ivy has three leaves and is glossy - please don't use that...lol
!
and a 2x4 is not really 2" by 4". Obviously lumber measurements were thought up by a man.
ReplyDeleteCast iron stomach??? Never known anyone with as weak as stomach as you (except for Sally)for when it comes to puking (or is that actually gag reflex??!!)
ReplyDeleteYou forgot about your other nickname "Krust Krissy from Kotzebue". Let's see, at that time some of the other airline coworkers were "Trixie Theresa from Takotka", Juicy Lucy from Levlock", "Nasty Nellie from Naknak", "Mushy Mona from Manakotak". Did I forget anyone??!!
Hum.. have had some of the following for nicknames "Squatty Body", "Lil L", "Dah-lin-da" to name a few
