Face Down in the Dirt, This Doesn’t Hurt

After I got divorced, three of my girlfriends also got divorced, and we hung out and created our own “eligible bachelor list”. Well, either my demeanor really is that high-maintenance or my list is too demanding, because all three of them are now re-married AND they are all pregnant (one pregnant with twins)! Now we all know that I’m not re-married, and with all the cramps and PMS’ing I’m experiencing right now, I can accurately predict that I’m not pregnant.

I was surfing my friend Lizabeth’s website, and see that one of her clients was Caprice Crane (I read Caprice’s book, Stupid and Contagious a couple of months ago, good book). Anyhoo, I learned Caprice is the daughter of Tina Louise (Ginger on Gilligans Island). Interesting.

Before I read that book, I started to read Do I Need to Slap You?, but realized I wasn’t in the mood for a beating, so moved on. Then I realized that the author of that book, Michele Hickford, was the same Michele from Muleos.com that sent me some free shoe straps to review on my Shoeaholics Anonymous website. Small world.

I stocked up on some books from the Barnes & Noble bargain bin. I’ll see if I can find anymore correlations. Oooh, that word ends in “ions”, maybe I should add that to my category definitions.

What I’m Listening to on iTunes: “Face Down” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus I first heard this song when a classmate of my daughters sang this song at the 6th grade talent show. I was impressed with his singing and have loved the song ever since. His dad is also a musician and sang “Closing Time” by Semisonic the night I met my boyfriend, Patrick. And no, he didn’t take me home. That night anyway.

Obey Your Own Rules. Be a Hero.

I made up new “rules” when we moved into the new house, including “no shoes on the carpet” and “no food or drink on the carpet”, and the rules apply to everyone…, but me. It seems whenever I get hungry or thirsty, I’m always in the middle of working on something that I can’t pull myself away from, so I have the authority to eat at my desk. Well, yesterday my sister (I’ve forgave her for our shopping trip) made some really good No Bake Cookies, and since I like milk with my cookies, I indulged, and needless to say, the whole glass of milk ended up on/in my computer keyboard. I thought I had it all blown out, but this morning every key stuck, so I had to make a trip to Office Max for a new one as none of my other keyboards here had a USB end.

Tomorrow I have to go to the bank and close/open a new checking account since I’ve been having counterfeit checks made out to “Intabill” posted to my account, plus take my vehicle in for “funny noises” under the hood, plus take my son into the hospital for more tests for his irregular/rapid heartbeat. And that’s on top of vacation bible school, carpooling to the swimming pool, board meetings and trying to work. Calgon take me away.

On a brighter note, today is Be a Hero for Babies Day. I’ve always been a big supporter of the March of Dimes efforts (thus they continue to send me address labels by the truckload). I even paid for a ScooterSqueeze™ on AffiliateHug.com as I know firsthand that Uncle Scooter gives good hugs, and it’s a great cause.

What I’m listening to on iTunes: “Good Directions” by Billy Currington I’ve never seen anyone selling turnips on a flatbed truck at our Farmer’s Market.
