March 23, 2006--Long time, no see!

1. Today is a great day.  I'm wearing britches at work, it's sunny outside and Johnny Cash is currently playing on my Shuffle.  "No the circle won't be broken by and by, Lord, by and by..."

2. The most unfortunate thing happened to me at Costco yesterday: I was walking through the candy aisle, looking for treats for my candy jar at work when I saw a little kid on his knees in the middle of the aisle playing with his car.  This wasn't nearly as alarming as what I heard: "Blaze, get off the floor and come stand by me."  BLAZE?  This poor child's name was Blaze.  I hope she teaches him how to hold his own in a fight.

3. Nothing can really take the place of icy cold water.  I know that tepid water is better for your body than icy cold water, but it's just so refreshing.  I really like to drink it in my new water bottle with a handy little strap that enables me to take it from place to place with only 2 fingers.

4. Topic: Rolaids Soft Chews: they don't taste as weird as I thought they would but it's a bit like a hunk of hubba bubba only you can't chew on it as long and you can't blow bubbles.

5. I'm really digging BUBBLE gum these days.  The big stuff you chew on for five minutes when the flavor goes away leaving you only with a huge wad of goo in your mouth that I always want to swallow for some reason. 

6. Who decides they want to be a proctologist?  Well, I mean, I know a lot of people do, but WHY??? Of course, someone has to, but my husband discovered his desire to study engineering from his keen interest in building structures with Lego's as a child.  Where does a PROCTOLOGIST get his inspiration? (Don't answer that.)

7. It's insane monkey torture to have a headache and no pain reliever.  Especially when it's one of those nagging sort of headaches.

8. Childrens' watches aren't just for childrens.  Yesterday I got one at WalMart for a mere 6.43.  It's a blue watch with green frogs on it and the second hand is a frog that turns in circles. Dude! that's awesome!

9. Topic: Disturbing trends: I was watching the news last night while assembling training manuals and they did a story on "Roach Brooches."  Jewel-encrusted roaches that come with a gold or silver leash that you wear like a brooch (well, like a brooch that walks.)  This is gross on SO many levels.  If someone can understand why this is a good idea, please let me know.  All I know is: it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

10. Should we make an easter basket for Jack? Will he even care?
