i am neurotic is a blog devoted to our funny quirks. rebecca & candis would appreciate this one considering how quirky they've found me to be. i haven't done this in a while but i laughed out loud when i saw it because i almost forgot how it practically controlled everything i did as a child. at the little age of 7, i told myself on the playground, "i'll tell cory i like him if he blinks 4 times in the next minute." weird, right? the crazy thing is that i did it with everyyyything. "i'll start my homework if three more birds pass by my window." ha. well i'm delighted that there are other silly people who do/did it too.

how foolish of me...
for not noticing before! each color otter pop has its own unique character & story & collectively make up a band! i discovered this a few days ago and was delighted. so today i reached into the freezer at work and saw that there were several lonely green pops shoved into the corner. i know...like everyone else i have avoided the green. without outright saying that i dislike lime, i acquiesced to the universal rejection of it by sheepishly avoiding it. not today. i thought of green's character and it was no longer a flavor but a cute little friend....a cute little friend that i had avoided. so here he is...please meet sir isaac.
here is a brief profile on sir isaac, provided by the "otter popstar's" website. enjoy.
Full Name: Sir Isaac Lime
Instrument: Piano
Sir Isaac is a renowned British scientist and visiting professor at the prestigious Otterdam Institute. He became the keyboardist for the Otter PopStars after joining the other otters for an impromptu after-hours jam session at the Whisker A Go-Go. Sir Isaac is a seasoned concert pianist who has been "tickling the ivories" since the age of four. "I believe that music is an expression of the harmonic vibrations of the cosmos," says Sir Isaac, "And those who think otherwise are just silly."
his favorite things: supernovas, sub-atomic particles & the sound of his voice.
pet peeves: fast food, mathematical inaccuracies & people who neglect to put a napkin on their lap during meals.

summer vaca.
this is my first summer as a "real" adult. oof.
last thursday was a productive but looong day at work. what made it so long was the strong sun that shone through the tree outside of my window...all day...beseeching me to play so relentlessly. but when i jumped in my car sooo eager to get home & finally accept my dear sun's invitation....i had a yellow "no gas" light staring me in the face. no fun. so i begrudgingly stopped at the gas station close to work and i even more begrudgingly asked the man at the window to put my $20 on tank 7. that's when i saw it. the ice cream cooler. before i knew it my hand reached into that beautifully frigid treasure box and pulled out...a. push. up. pop. this is when it happened. my summer revival. i quite gladly waited for the pump to kindly feed my car with gas while i happily licked away at my push-up pop. then i drove away so thankful for the animal collective that blared & even my sticky orange fingers.
so i decided that although summer vaca as i have known it for 13+ years is dead & gone....it will always be raging deep within me. words are not enough though....one must take action.
our work freezer is now stashed with otter pops...which equally delight me. everyday on the way home from work now....i grab an otter pop, get in my car, blare the summer anthem of the day and let summer vaca come alive again.
as i've said before...growing up is overrated. but for now it can't be avoided so an otter pop & summer tunes will do.

on monday night i was strolling through rite-aid with a dear friend and spotted this...a big mama box of this....
