1. It feels like Wednesday.

2.  I'm having the skinny woman's breakfast of coffee and low-fat cottage cheese.  If this was the 70's I'd be smoking cigarettes too.  I really miss the 70's.  Just because my family really didn't participate the first time around.  The 60's lived on until the 80's in our household.

3.  My beagle is unable to take a walk without producing something I'm required to pick up.  No matter how many times he has been to the backyard before our walk.  Why, Charlie, why???

4.  I love the hot mess that is the Nancy Botwin character on Weeds. 

5.  You have to love a man who brings his own crazy to the table and it just so happens to compliment yours.  Namely, your crazy didn't scare him away.

6.  I painted my nails black two days ago, and it's still summer, so it's all wrong, but I've been too lazy to remove it.

7.  Last night I made Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa Cake.  Yes, Truvi's recipe from Steel Magnolias.  All the sugar hounds in the household pounced on it.  Me...there's no chocolate involved so that's a problem.  You can find it on PW's website if you're so inclined.

8.  No, I haven't been drinking this morning, why do you ask?

9.  I really need a haircut.

xxoo,

Stick 'em in or take 'em out?

This is my favorite rescue hat that the hubby put in the Goodwill bag because it was his to get rid of causing me to say to him in horror..."What?!  You can't get rid of that!  I wear it ALL the time!"  Then I snatched it right out of the Goodwill bag and put it in the closet on my side.  But what I can never decide is this -

Ears IN or OUT???

Yes, these are exactly the kind of things that keep me up at  night.  So, how do you wear yours?

Pondering life's really small issues today,

The News, Jersey Shore's Situation and I

What's your favorite part of the newspaper? 

Mine, hands down, is The Back Page.  It's where a cool photo is surrounded by paragraph long news stories.  I can find out nobody likes Casey Anthony, that the miners were freed from the collapsed mine and that Heather Locklear is now engaged to Jack Wagner.  That's enough for me.  I'm not so much interested in the latest shooting in LA, which politician is embroiled in a scandalous twitter photos or anything that's happened very far away from me.  Yes, world news is important and affects us all, but that stuff leaks in whether I want it to or not, so I don't really need to seek it out in my morning paper.

But what I LOVE are the stories of idiot criminals featured almost exclusively on The Back Page.  You know....the guys who broke into a police van to take gag photos of themselves being arrested.  And then managed to lock themselves in.  Since their other idiot friend who came to rescue them couldn't break into the van despite their previously successful instructions as to how, had to call 911.  Uh huh, as soon as they were rescued by the responding officers, they were officially arrested.  Guess they didn't need those gag photos after all.

If it happens to be a Sunday when I come across a little laugh out loud gem like that, and Bill and I are sitting on the back porch having our coffee and reading the paper together, I absolutely interupt whatever important article he's reading to subject him to a read aloud of the story.  I don't think he always loves this, but I figure it's good for him to gain a little perspective.  If we have idiots here, so do the bad guys over there.  Of course theirs usually have a bomb strapped to their chests.

My favorite news story today...Abercrombie and Fitch offering The Situation of Jersey Shore fame thousands of dollars to stop wearing their clothes because it's bad for the company's image.  BA HA HA HA HA!
Awww who wouldn't want that associated with their product?!  Hey Bill, listen to this one...

Have a fab day everyone!
