Donuts make my brown eyes blue. Sounds like a catchy song title. It is.
Forgive me, I'm listening to soft rock of the '70's on MSN and I'm starting to get punchy.
It's report card time again, and that magnifies the punchiness. I do believe I have adult ADD(Attention Deficit Disorder). It's difficult to focus on anything that doesn't interest me (especially grading papers) for longer than maybe a few minutes. Hence the report card debacle every nine weeeks. I do it to myself. You think I'd know better after so many years.
I promised myself that I would get caught up during the Christmas vacation. But then there was Disneyland and California Adventure--FOR FIVE WHOLE DAYS--I'm still suffering from Disney-lag.
Let's talk about dirty laundry. Let's not. Perhaps I should just do it, instead of talking about it. ADD strikes again! Dirty laundry doesn't really interest me. Unless of course I can't find anything decent to wear. Or my kids have run out of clean jeans that fit.

Oh, and I drank coffee today, with sugar. It wasn't very good coffee. It was from Whataburger. But it was hot. For awhile. Oh how I long for a Starbuck's! (There aren't any Starbuck's in Disneyland either. Just Nescafe gourmet coffee. Sorry, I don't equate instant coffee with "gourmet." Am I wrong?)

Well, I better get back to work. Not that I want to. Maybe, I'll just go home instead. And think about doing laundry. There, that's a step in right direction. Isn't it?

Still More Burning Questions (Or at least One)

6.) (?) Have you seen the commercial with the elephant who borrows his handler's Mastercard and buys comfort items to help him through his cold? At first I thought, "How heartwarming and cozy!" But then...it started to bother me. It was way too easy for that elephant to breeze throught the shops, pick up his purchases, and wave his handler's Paypass at the register. Nobody thought it was odd to have an elephant in the store, nobody asked him for I.D. Doesn't that bother you? In future, when visiting elephants at the zoo or the circus, keep an eye on your wallet, and especially your Mastercard. And be suspicious, very suspicious, if you recieve a statement which includes a huge peanut purchase. But, seriously, doesn't the idea of a Paypass unnerve you?

And Then the Floor Drops Out From Under You!

May 28, 2007 - Monday Just when you think that things are going your way... Just when you think it's safe to go back in the water (cue the theme from "Jaws")... Just when you're starting to feel just a tad comfy with that big employment move you're about to make... (Theme music crescendos!) The ride starts spinning faster and faster and faster. Your cheeks are doing their best to slide off your face. You can't move your head. That hot dog is inching its way back up your esophagus. You're pinned to the back wall. (Sound fx--CRUNCH! Simulating a well-placed shark bite.) And then the floor drops out from under you! (SCREEEAM!) (DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE MIXED METAPHORS?) That's sort of how I f...

"Dirty" Words

Image
June 12, 2007 - Tuesday Mud, grime, mold, mildew, dust--certainly no one will argue that these are "dirty" words. Heck! Watch any amount of daytime television to ascertain that fact. Advertisers are smitten with those words and compel unsuspecting consumers to wage war against them with any number of new and improved products. But, I've come here to tell you about the "dirtiest" word of them all--and it has nothing to do with the opposite of clean. (Or sex.) Are you ready? Can you handle it? Brace yourself! It's summer. The kids are out of school. I am out of school. I have all the time in the world (in between swim practice, basketball practice, the teen volunteer program at the library, etc.)t...
