A Few Random Things
Random crap:
1. There's a radio station in town that has been playing Christmas songs since Veteran's Day. And by sheer disgust, I refuse to listen to said station until at least December 1st. BUT, if I am running through the stations and I hear Karen Carpenter singing, I have to listen. It just might be a sickness.
2. My husband has been spot cleaning the stairs with this new Oxy-Gen stuff. And he said, "HDW! Come look! When I spray it, it looks like I'm pissing on the steps!". I walk up a few stairs to look, and he 'pisses' on me. Sprays my shirt. Don't worry, BBG. Revenge will be mine. Cold water? Shower? I believe I will be tossing that over when you least expect it, yelling, "SURF'S UP BITCH!!".
3. The inlaw's were in town for Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law is wonderful, but she miiiiiiiight be a litttttttttttle addicted to a certain pain killer (coughpercocetcough). My husband found this clip of Collette Reardon and we decided it certainly is eerily similar. Hmm.
4. My brother came over on Wednesday night with his girlfriend. And this is a big freaking deal, considering, well, he hasn't had one. For, oh, seven years. The last girl he was with is the mother of my nephew, but she flew the coop years ago. He told me last week he heard she was pregnant again (this is #4) and might have ovarian cancer (at 26). Either way, this new girlfriend is very nice, very cute and he was a whole new person around her. It was wild seeing him so googily eyed and happy. My husband is still in shock. I asked if he enjoyed dinner, and he said, "Your brother. With a girl. WTF??"
5. My son fell asleep in the car today with his new Superman pajamas on, his Spiderman shoes, and a paper Batman mask. Oh, to be a little boy.
6. My husband remarked, then, that The Bug is much happier after taking naps. I said, "Thanks, Captain Obvious. I had no idea!" - to which he replied, "I know. The world was on the cusp until I showed up!!". Good grief.
7. HDH and I watched all three of our Netflix movies in the last few days: Knocked Up, Junebug and Quinceañera. Seen any good movies lately? Lemme know. We're always looking for new ones to watch.
8. I wore my pink flannel pajamas for the better part of the day. I only changed so I could run to Best Buy and brave post-Black Friday crowds. And, really, it wasn't too bad. Except the checker had - quite possibly - the worst body odor ever in the history of the world. Seriously. He stunk.
9. My grandmother is coming to visit for only a few hours on Tuesday. The one and the same who gave me this reversible, previously used (by her) sparkly coat a few years ago. She is still calling me by her dead dog's name, and telling me she's just never SEEN me so heavy. So, she buys me clothes about, oh, eight sizes too big. I'm excited, can you tell? I really will be. I promise. Just not needing the head trip about how I look, pleaseandthankyou.
10. I needed to end on an even number. Just like being compelled to stop and listen to Karen Carpenter sing, "Merry Christmas, Darling". Honestly.
PS And still going private next week. Thanks for everyone sending me their email addresses so I can add you to 'the list'. I'm not weeding out the lurkers, promise. You want to still lurk? Send me your email and continue lurking. I'm happy you stop by to read, even if you don't feel like commenting. Or if you're like Mr Vholes who refuses to comment. He's the Anti-Commenter. Always rebelling against The Establishment, that one.
