Random Thoughts

Hubby and I were watching The Return of Superman on TV.  Two of our teens joined us half way through the movie and proceeded to ask question after question.  I finally had to pause the movie and say, "What do you mean, 'why can't he be near Cryptonite?'.  Don't you guys know anything about Superman????"  Turns out they didn't.  Nothing at all.  How can that be?

I misplaced my driver's license the other day.  You'll never believe where I found it - let's just say it was "in my blouse".  I have no idea how that happened.

Today I learned that one of my kids used their cell phone to record their grandfather telling one of his stories.  Picture if you will, a loud Italian who loves to entertain a crowd... keeps everyone on the edge of their seat until the punchline, then everyone simultaneously bursts into laughter.  The really funny part came after the laughter died down and I could hear my mother's voice complaining about how tired she is of hearing the same stories over and over.  Of course, I've heard her make that same complaint as many times.  Ha!

A friend and I were discussing chandeliers and we both looked up at the one hanging above my dining room table.  It was so dusty.  I should do something about that soon.  That was about a week ago.  I hear the laundry calling....

I hate it when I drive by a beautiful home at night and see the lovely warm yellow glow of light streaming from the windows contrasted by cool bluish solar lights illuminating the pathways.  What a terrible mix.  Solar light people, please fix this problem as soon as possible.

One of my dear friends has deleted her facebook account, causing her comments to disappear from my wall posts and photos.  Of course my responses to her are still there so it looks like I was talking to myself.

Why can't we just pee once for the entire day and be done with it?

I'd really like to find the owner's manual for my camera.  I know I set it aside so I wouldn't loose it, and I vaguely remember taking it with me on a trip somewhere, thinking I'd have time to read it, but it's been about 2 years now and I doubt I'll ever see it again.  I recently fond the card I bought for our oldest son's graduation... 4 years too late, so I guess there's still hope.

I just loaded the dishwasher for the 3rd time today.

It takes me all day to drink a glass of water, but I can down 16 ounces of bottled water in about 10 seconds flat.

Why do I insist on keeping all 3 racks in my oven when I only use one at a time?   

Which leads to my next question... why does Paula Deen say "one at the time"?  (Hi Paula, love you - one of my daughters insists that she will live in Georgia someday :). I thank you for that)

I'd really like to clean the gigantic mirror in my family room, but I'm afraid it'll fall off the wall and kill me.  I'm not kidding.

I take great pleasure in sucking fruit flies up with my vacuum hose.

Our internet satellite recently was on the blink for about a week.  We're able to get online by routing our computers through our cell phones.  I'm surprised the phones didn't melt or blow up in the process.  Isn't technology amazing?

I ran completely out of unsalted butter last week.  I bake.  I have two freezers.  This isn't supposed to happen.  Reminds me of the time I ran out of salt... SALT!  I usually have at least 3 or 4 different kinds of salt on hand, so that was strange.  How many people can say they are out of salt?

I have 9 different kinds of sugar in the house - white, superfine, 10x, lt brown, drk brown, turbinado, vanilla, sanding, and decorator sugar in a rainbow of colors.  Increase that number to 13 if you count honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, and English golden syrup. 

Last season's America's Got Talent - Doogie Horner was hilarious.

My daughter's Home Ec. teacher would like me do a cake demo for the class.  I want to, but I don't, but I do, but I don't.  Yikes - I need some chocolate.

My blog got almost 700 hits in one day last week.  Happy-happy.  My son, who's an uber techy computer dude, thinks that's pretty impressive.  I'm not an uber techy computer dude, but I agree :).

I don't know why, but I have a habit of keeping small to medium sized boxes.  I hate this habit, but not enough to stop collecting them.  Bubble wrap too - I have rolls and rolls of it.
