…Some random thoughts today:
- Shopping for a vehicle for your child is more difficult than shopping for one for yourself. Sure, you want the best deal, a good warranty, etc. But is there one that protects him from everything and everyone? That gives him good judgment? That tops out at 40 mph?
- October is one of my favorite months here. Except for whatever allergen is in the air that is making me one cranky, sneezy, sniffly b*tch. (Hmmm…I almost make a full set of dwarves…)
- Tuesday cannot get here quickly enough. Regardless of the outcome, I am so over this election season. Nationally and locally, it’s been one of the most divisive I’ve seen.
- Regardless of the fact that my team is not playing like last year’s championship team, I am loving this football season. And have fallen in love with Texas Tech. Man, that game rocked.
- There is WAY too much Halloween candy at my house right now. And since I culled out the crap, there are none of those caramels with the white centers. Who eats those things? Blech.
- My dog needs a bath, and that fact alone is keeping me at the computer. Anybody wanna volunteer?
- I really don’t think I can wait until July for the new season of Mad Men. I really don’t think you all know how much I mean that.
I could do this all day, but since I’ll need some of those random thoughts on another day of NaBloPoMo, I’d better save them. So, I’m off to enjoy a beautiful Sunday.
Which of you is coming to give the dog a bath? I have candy.

Candy!?! Count me in. I’m a dawg washing fool.
That was an awesome game.

Also very sick of the election crap- SO sick of the commercials, the phone calls, etc…

I’d bathe the dog, but I don’t want candy – I want steak! Or maybe lobster. Yeah, that’s the ticket – lobster.

Blech?!? I’m AGHAST. Those carmel-y things with the white powdered sugar centers are my FAVORITE CANDY.
In the WORLD.
I blame it on my Grandma.
Re: the election? You and me both, baby. I hate to wish my life away, but Wednesday can’t get here fast enough.

Gimme all those caramels with the white stuff in the middle. No, I’m not washing your stinkin dog. Unless you want to come shovel wet plaster and insulation………..

Guys! How can you ruin one of God’s most perfect creations – a vanilla caramel – with that nasty white center? I tossed at least 15 or 20 of ‘em into the garbage.
November 2, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Throw them all out, sorry, Jennifer. God didn’t intend candy to be made like that.

Happy to help Kenju bath the dog although my modus operendi is usually to get in the shower . .with the dog! Sad I know but it works. Frankly I’m rather glad Halloween is over . . boy you Americans get into it in a big way! See, this post a day thing aint so hard!

I didn’t do Halloween this year. Kids are grown and first grandchild is still incubating. My lights were all off in an overt “leave me the f___ alone” gesture, but that still didn’t deter one particularly persistent group of ankle biters from ringing my bell repeatedly because they saw me moving through the window…
I am attempting the 30 posts in 30 days challenge. So far I’m two for two…

Empty nest = no bags of candy. We went out and were gone on purpose this year!
November 3, 2008 at 2:15 pm
We didn’t give out candy — no one comes down our long stretch of highway — it’s what Miss Priss brought home.

your last thought- about Mad Men- sista, I hear ya. I’m dying to see what Peggy does- and if Don & Betty work it out.
GAH!!!!!
I had a hilarious dream the other night, that I worked at Sterling Cooper- I bossed salvatore & ken around and then roger walked by and pinched my ass and I woke up.

Ahh! I would FIGHT Jennifer for the caramel curls! Actually, I would share them.
I’m guessing you’re also not a fan of cow tails?
November 3, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Uh, Renn? You can have ALL the Cow Tails!!! BLECH squared.

I LOVE the caramels with white centers!
