Peggy's Pretty Priceless Passing Points

February 27, 2006
1. I'm not feeling very random today. Mostly tired and a little queasy from my Diet Coke and Tootsie Roll breakfast. Will I never learn?
2. The phrase I use most often that is the most confusing to people: "But--I ride bikes." This comes from a joke my dear friend Patty tells: How many kids with ADD does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: Want to ride bikes??? I wish EVERYONE knew that joke so I could say it without having to explain the whole thing. Sort of takes away from the magic, don't you think?
3. I have come to the juncture in my life where I need more than my current water bottle can provide. I need ice and I need to not have to refill it every 10 minutes because it only holds 20 oz. Now, don't get me wrong--it's been a great little water bottle, but the filter needs to be replaced so I'm in the market for a new one. I'll keep you updated as new possibilities come up.
4. Why is it that I am who I am, completely sarcastic and cynical, the kind of person who finds it humerus when people fall down--yet EVERYTHING makes me cry? We were watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics last night and I was so touched that the mayor of Vancouver is a quadriplegic (you can thank spell check if that word is spelled correctly, in case you need a laugh, and my version of the spelling is "quadrepoligic." Hey--I was close!) and had a special device installed on his wheelchair to be able to hold the Olympic flag and then he was wheeling around in circles so the flag would wave and I was just dying inside. How inspiring.
5. Do you know what I like to say? Nova Scotia. Scotia. It sounds so great. Say it with me: Scotia.
6. For some reason, I can't wait until March. Because my birthday is in March? Because spring comes in March? Because of the seminar I'm going to that I've been waiting for forever? I don't know. All I know is that March 1st can't come fast enough.
7. I can't wait for weather to get warmer. I want to open my doors and windows and air out the "winter" smell my house has. I want to take Jack outside to play (Oh! Need to buy some OUTSIDE toys!) I want to go to the park...maybe that's why I'm excited for March.
8. Someone just called me and the only thing I understood was, "Oh, I must have dialed the wrong number...ggghriejndacmeo cjadacer." I wanted to shout, "Take the marbles out of your mouth and start over!" but that wouldn't have been very nice and I am always very nice.
9. Yes, I was being sarcastic there.
10. My vacuum died and I haven't vacuumed for 2 weeks. I can't tell you how crippling this is for me to see stuff on my floor and NOT be able to clean it up. Makes me tense just thinking about it.

Can you believe I spelled "humorous" "humerus???" WHAT WAS I THINKING? I was probably still upset about my water bottle dilemma. At any rate, I'm not completely ignorant, just slightly. Please forgive my typo.
