Thursday Thirteen Ramblings

THIRTEEN RANDOM THOUGHTS. Brought to you by: My scattered, crazy mind.

1) "His capa was detated." From last week's episode of 'The Office'. Michael was taken aback by his old boss passing away & he then finding out he was in an auto accident & was decapitated. That show is too funny & of all the 'wrong' things Michael says, this one just took the cake for me.
2) Without even thinking about it, my brain automatically will make a word/words/phrase out of the jumble of letters from the word verification when leaving a comment. I'm completely bizarre-o.
3) "He flicked me...with, with.....the end of himself." A quote from a "Mad About You" episode that I still find completely amusing. It has somehow come back to me after all of these years. I just love it.
4) I was sitting at the diningroom table with Connor while - making a project - and out of nowhere he exclaims, "BOOYAH!"

Where in the hell did that come from?? Where did he learn that??


5) I climbed into bed the other night. About an hour+ after I wanted to be in bed. Bry rolls over to me and says, "What time is it?" I replied, "Sex-o-clock".



6) There is nothing like a hot cup of coffee with Coconut Creme creamer on a chilly, rainy afternoon.


7) Lucky Charms - since childhood - has been my favorite cereal. However, a few months ago, I realized that the shapes of the oat pieces are the same shapes in 'Meow Mix' cat food. I'm completely freaked out by this.


8) I love thrift shopping. Monday, at the Goodwill, a clerk kindly gave me this hanging Tiffany-style diningroom lighting fixture. (I had been wanting one of these forever, but never wanted to pay the $).
I was stoked. After finding some cool clothes for Gracie, the light fixture was the cherry on top.

9) Has anyone else drawn the parallels between George W. Bush and Lord Farquaad from 'Shrek'?? I have thought this since the first time I saw the movie.

Especially when Lord Farquaad is amping up the Knight's to go on the quest to rescue Princess Fiona. He's addressing the knights in a public arena. He's speaking at his huge podium and says to the knights: "Some of you may die. But it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
Sorry, but that sounds like good 'ole W. to me.
10) What is the point of cleaning my house?? When TWO MINUTES LATER, it is completely destroyed by two sets of little hands?
I've given up on having a clean house.



11) My heart melted into a goopy, syrup-y mess, when last night, my baby girl sang along with me to Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
It was a beautiful little moment. Gracie sings it better than I do.

12) There are two people from my past that I was really mean to.
One was from 6th grade.
The other was from the winter of 2000.
I have made up my mind that, before I die, I must find and contact these two individuals to offer up my sincere, heart-felt apologies.
It's been eating me alive for years that I could have ever been so cruel.



13) Bryan is in a training class to work in the prison's for overtime. He said to me, "I think that I want to do the S.E.R.T. training." I ask, "What is that again?" He replies, "It is the Emergency Response Team in the prisons. You know, basically it's their SWAT team." I told him, "Do It." He says, "Yeah, but the training is five weeks long. I'd have to get into shape......." Me: "Honey, if this is something you want to do, then DO IT. Find a way to make it happen."
Why can't I take my own advice?

WHAT. ARE YOU DOING. IN MY SWAMP????

I've posted before about how the kids always seem to barge in when I have to sit on the porcelain goddess. Or just as I'm turning off the water in the shower. They always time that one just so. They open the door & let in that blast of frigid air. Amazing, really. They're timing.

Here is my solution: to buy a Shrek mask, put it on and scream this at the top of my lungs: "I live in a swamp. I put up signs. I'm a terrifying OGRE!!!!! WHAT. DO. I. HAVE. TO. DO. TO. GET. A LITTLE. PRIVACY?!?!?!?!?!"

*crickets*
Not funny? Not even a little? Oh, well. I tried.

God Bless Maigh!

Today I was lurking around my favorite blog, reading comments to posts where a fellow lurker commented on something he had found on one of Maigh's previous posts. I think it would do us ALL good to hear it.
"If you have a problem and you don't do anything about it, you forfeit the right to bitch."

Thank You, Maigh. Your candor is wonderfully beautiful and eloquent. It always leaves me wanting more. It is inspiring.

Guilty Pleasure

So, I'm sitting here running through everything that has transpired on and off my blog and feeling sick. It sucks. But oh well. Que cera, cera. Or however you spell it. I was panicking all day on what to blog about next. How do I follow "A Little Respect"? Well, I don't know. But I heard something on a guilty pleasure TV show of mine and thought, 'this is it'.
So, my guilty pleasure is watching 'Dog the Bounty Hunter'. I love it. I eat that shit up. I love everything about it. Dog reminds me a bit of my dad - the whole intimidating persona, but just a cool guy. I love Leyland and his quiet bad-assedness. But most of all, I love Beth. I love her big, brass balls. Her courage, everything about her. As we speak, there's a 'best of' type show on. Showcasing certain cases, etc. There was a montage on Beth. And at the very beginning, Dog was talking about her. He said this next quote & I couldn't have heard something I can relate to at a better time. And it made me feel better. I thought it appropriate to share here. Dog said, "Beth can be really hard on people. But when she really cares for people, she shows her heart of gold." Amen & Hallelujah, Dog. Thanks. I really needed to hear something like that. I know he wasn't talking to me or about me. But it hit home. And it seems to fit. G'night & Godspeed.
