Don't Call It a Comeback

I did change my closets from winter to summer, and I did make a Goodwill pile. Then I got sidetracked by "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style." I watched two episodes. It's a pretty good show. Then, I decided to finish the last 70 pages of my 973 page book, Pillars of the Earth. So good. I highly recommend it. It's about a family of cathedral builders in medieval times. They speak regular English, though, so it's cool. I could hardly put it down.

Chris recommended the book to me. I borrowed his copy, and told him I'd return it when I finished. Well, I wasn't finished and didn't feel like reading it, so I returned his copy through his front mail slot. I went to the library and got another copy. Once I had the library copy, I read it like gangbusters and now I'm finished.

It's pouring down raining and I haven't called Connie yet to go out to dinner. I probably shouldn't be sitting here drinking a glass of wine considering I may go out later, but we'll see. I don't REALLY want to go out in the rain, but considering I've only left my house to walk to the mailbox, I should probably take a shower and make an effort to leave my humble abode. Hmm...decisions decisions.

I don't know why I fall for this advertisement every time, but I do.

A couple weeks ago, I realized that I didn't put my deodorant on in the morning. I have no idea what I was thinking about, but I got to work and felt a little sticky. At lunch, I ran out to the store, and Lady Speed Stick, powder soft or something like that was on sale for 99 cents. The label said "Dare to wear black." I wasn't wearing black that day, so I didn't care. Plus, I was wearing a shirt with sleeves.

On my vacation this past week, I ran out of my Secret Platinum gel, so I bought a trial size Dove deodorant (This is slightly irrelevant). Today, I decided to wear one of my summer dresses, and since I didn't open a new Secret that I have stashed in the closet, I used the Lady Speed Stick. I checked the mirror before I left, and I didn't see any deodorant. Cool. When I got home, I was typing something, and I just happened to lift my arm, and my underarm was completely WHITE. I was hugging people at church, and clapping/holding hands with people, and they probably all knew that I had white deodorant caked under my arms. How disgusting. I don't know why they haven't made black people deodorant yet!!

I should call Lady Speed Stick and tell them that their deodorant sucks, but I'm never buying it again. 99 cents or not.

Best song ever!

I think if I ever get married, this will be one of the songs my husband and I will dance to, although he'll be singing it to me, and not the other way around.

Ok..I was a little dramatic there. It's not the best song ever, but it is a really good one. hee hee.

Can I call the Fudgesicle factory and tell them that I stabbed my lip on a jagged, broken stick and expect to get a free box of Fudgesicles? Ouch.

The jagged broken stick was attached to the stick with the Fudgesicle on it. How was it stuck? By melted and then frozen Fudgesicle. It does hurt a little bit.

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

The funny thing is that my birthstone is an emerald, and green is my second favorite color. I'm a hippy through and through.

Things I hate:

• The fact that I drove through a long strip of plastic, and it was stuck to the front of the car the entire ride home
• As soon as I turn on my phone when work ends, I'm bombarded with text messages (two to be exact)
• Having to go out in the cold to go grocery shopping

Thing I love:

• I received my plaque for finishing the "I've Been Everywhere" Grand Tour
• Being home
• I still have a lot of fudgesicles in the refrigerator (my newest obsession)
• Biggest Loser/Millionaire Matchup (or whatever that show is called)
• I actually worked for my paycheck today

Guess I better take off my housecoat and get to the store before 8pm.

All weekend, these cats that live in my neighborhood have been having sex in my yard/driveway/on my car. I HATE cats. I don't know how to get them to go away. I yell, but that's not enough, and as soon as they move away, they come right back. Maybe I should get a squirt bottle with water and hope they don't attack me.

The one cat (I'm assuming the girl) sounds like a little baby crying outside my window. It's SO annoying.

Any suggestions? I hate these cats. I need to call animal control because neither of them have tags, and I'm not really sure where they live. I just want them out of my hair/yard whatever. hee hee.

"They do not care for the high-blown verbiage that usually hides a reather mediocre or even non-existing idea.  Those born on this day like to know what others think straight out, without subterfuge.  This does not mean that they themselves are incapable of subtlety or make poor diplomats."

You can't really see it here, but how cool is it to say that you've been to Dogde City, KS? I think it's really cool.

Yes, another trip pic from Tennessee, Illinois. To me, going to one place with two state names is a unique opportunity. It's similar to saying you know a girl name Regina Kelly or a boy named Brian James. A person with two first names (for their first and last name) has got to be awesome.

I have no idea how to include the YouTube videos like everyone else, so you'll have to click the link and then click the video. I didn't even watch the video, but I love, love, love, this song. (So rare and beautiful. hee hee)
