Peggy's Pretty Priceless Passing Points

February 23, 2006
1. I'm eating soup with a little plastic spoon. Soup is something that should be slurped from a big, fat spoon. As long as I can't hear it because I can't stand the sound of it.
2. I just realized I have to go to Costco after work today. Oh well. There are worse things to have to do.
3. Someone tried to call me earlier for something work-related but by no means eternal. She called me probably 10 times (I could see the other line ringing, but was on the phone so I couldn't answer.) She left two messages, called the receptionist twice and called someone who sits like 6 desks down from me once. Lady! Honestly!
4. I was talking to my little sister earlier who told me they pulled her ENTIRE medical history and found out that when she had open heart surgery as an infant she got blood from an elderly lady who had a blood infection that Brandi ended up getting. This is interesting for many reasons. She found out that she was the first infant in the state of Idaho to have open heart surgery and that she died for 4 minutes and 3 seconds during this surgery. The doctor resuscitated her by pumping her heart with his hand. Can you imagine being 24 years old and finding a death certificate in your medical history? The other reason this is interesting is because it explains how she got cancer and what it is that is in her blood right now that doctors couldn't identify. Hmmmm...Not to worry--she's okay.
5. Has anyone seen the new Diet Coke can? Dude! Very pretty.
6. I've come to the juncture in my soup where the only thing left is carrots and celery. Now, while I would normally have issues with carrots and celery in soup, we've discussed that in Progresso, it's okay. But I'm like a 5 year old and have to eat it in the same bite with a noodle or a piece of chicken. And yet, I have not that luxury now. Blast it all. Wait! I found a noodle. Thank heavens.
7. There is no classy way to suck down soup broth.
8. Have you ever noticed that NOBODY looks good in a neck brace? It doesn't matter how cool they are, you put a neck brace on them--geek central.
9. What do we think about psychics? Now, I am confident that there are people with special abilities...there are also many who believe it's pretty evil practice (which I think it can be if used incorrectly, but so it is with pretty much every gift/talent a person has.) A psychic once told me I was going to have twins. Yikes. Let's hope she was a Miss Cleo type and not the real deal.
10. Let's discuss Miss Cleo for a second. I knew from the beginning she was a fraud. I'm no linguist, but I could tell her accent was fake. Why didn't she get found out sooner? "Callll meee now."
