Well, fire's not THAT bad, but the tree IS pretty: Random Tuesday Thoughts

randomtuesday


Hey! It's Tuesday! Know what that means? It means you should be here, at the Un Mom, the blog that pops up when you google shit like "I am just going to type in something random and hope something turns up".

For reals.

Although, that isn't really THAT random. Really random would be "do ninjas like cake?" which also, apparently, gets you to my blog.

My mother is so proud.

Also, I have no idea if ninjas like cake. I mean, I have it on good authority that the Febreze Ninja LOVES cake, unless it's black forest cake, in which case, only in a pinch. Like, if there is no other cake to be found, she'll eat it, but otherwise, bleh. But I have no clue if real ninjas like cake.

ANYWAY, I'm not calling this Random Creepday Thoughts anymore, because apparently when I did that last Tuesday I broke the internet and Blogger somehow forgot how to send my post feed to ya'll. So many people missed out on my story of how I didn't actually beat anybody up. So it's just back to Random Tuesday Thoughts. If you know how to play - great! What are you waiting for? If you don't, here's how it works: You grab the fugly purple button. You write a post of a mish-mash of incongruent thoughts. You link up with Mr. Linky!

Got it? Good. Now go do that, because I have nothing further for you this week.

Seriously, I don't know what I'm going to write about this week. I've been battling some weird sinus infection/cold/allergies thing that is as yet unidentified but is kicking my ass. It's also rendering my thought process to it's most basic. You know, along the lines of "Fire bad. Tree pretty. Jerry Springer!". Which, other than the afore-mentioned post feed problem, is why I haven't posted since Friday. When the blogging hour arrives, it's all I can do to summon the mental energy to play Bejeweled.

Fire bad. Tree pretty.

I have, however, been having some alarmingly deep thoughts regarding things like body image. They're not funny, so you don't care.

(And if I posted it here I'd be robbing myself of a HASAY post next week)

Ever noticed that the people available to 'chat' on Facebook are always the people you can't be bothered to talk to? Why do you have them as friends, anyway?

Also, are they thinking the same thing about you?

Drinking a mojito in the basement on a grey day is not the same as having one on the deck on a warm sunny day. They don't actually taste that good, to be honest. But I'm out of wine.

I've been window shopping for baby stuff for my friend Fashionista's impending bundle of joy. So far I have come up with this sweet ride



or this Klingon Cradle.



Whaddya think? Best friend ever, right?

Yeah, all right, that's all I got. I seem to recall threatening to take a day off in June, it probably should have been today.

But I'm such a workaholic.

So, share your own, hopefully more poignant, thoughts! Grab the button and link up!

omg, that cradle! There's a 100% chance of being impaled. I also have the urge to reach into that ear on that monstrous baby car and see what's what.

Kat said...

I want that sweet ride for myself!

otin said...

Lovin the Klingon cradle! Hope you are feeling better!

Design it Chic said...

Oh these rides scared the crack out of me! Yeah you should run for the best friend ever award for sure:P I'm scared for your friends tough:))jk of course!
Happy Tuesday!

K said...

Holy cow - that is some cradle.

Why is bejeweled so addictive anyway. It's a stupid game, but I keep playing it.

Blogging Mama Andrea said...

I am loving that sweet monster head walker ride on toy THING. I want me one of them.

(And yes I did just cringe over that sentence but it sounds way better that way.)

The Dental Maven said...

That ride's a lot more attractive than one of those SmartCars.

Michele said...

Sorry to hear your feeling under the weather. Maybe blogger brain freeze is contagious because I've got a bad case of it myself.

Pick the monster ride. It rocks!

Jenni Jiggety said...

I love that cradle! Do they make that in Queen?

I am Harriet said...

Boy, that's a toughy. Buy the nicest cradle on the block or send my kids to college....

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

Hope whatever it is that is kicking your ass well...stops doing that. :)

Ohhhh! I think I might have to get that scary monster eyeball ride thingy for my best friend for her baby...too bad she already has a crib... ;) You're right, that would make you the BEST friend evah! Right? Right???! ;)

Laufa said...

My favorite thought of yours today: Fire bad. Tree pretty. LOL!!!
I would so get cut many times from that crib - I'm too accident prone. Interesting baby car though.

Cara said...

Where can I get that car at??

Michelle said...

::giggle::
I have a friend who would LOVE that Klingon cradle!

Elle said...

I would hate to trip on that Klingon cradle in the middle of the night. Serious flesh wound! That stupid bejeweled game on FB has me hooked. It's like crack. Not that I know, just saying.

Ginny Marie said...

I tried to order black forest cake to share with my hubby, but he refused. He does NOT want his chocolate cake diluted with FRUIT. I, on the other hand, love black forest cake.

Lisa said...

We survived.
It was a helluva battle.
No. High school.

Cindi ~ Moomettesgram said...

Hope you're feeling better! My granddaughter would get a hoot out of that car, and I'm happy to hear it's RTTs! Mines up!

PJ Mullen said...

Personally, I'd go with the Klingon crib, but thats just me. That thing rocks!

Jan said...

Oh, my - the Klingon cradle! Too bad the crazy woman across the street's son is too old for it. They wouldn't happen to have a bicycle with a spear for a seat, just perfect for a 10-year-old, would they?

Casey said...

I for one like the freaky ass kid car but you can also get the kid some STD stuffed animals (http://www.giantmicrobes.com/us/products/pox.html) if you really want to be a good friend. A kid's gotta learn at some point.

I hate Facebook, I hate Facebook chatting and I hate you. Ok, I don't hate you and I'd totally chat with you on Facebook or AIM or any other chat medium. I'm sorry. Jamie just spilled an entire cup of coffee on my laptop and it's too soon to power it on to see if he's gonna make it. He being Jamie since he's dead meat if my laptop is fried.

Sprite's Keeper said...

I'm not even a Jedi and I think the Klingon cradle rocks. Wait... um... that made sense, right?

Bobby G said...

WTF is up w/ that creepy ass car?

Julie@Momspective said...

I actually know some people that would be digging that cradle. My sister, for one. I'll have to show her.

Brandy said...

ugh I hate being sick and not forming coherent thoughts. sucks ass.

good luck with the baby shopping.

kyooty said...

Oh kick Bejeweled's Ass and go find you Farmtown! that is totally time suckage~!!

Julie@Momspective said...

P.S. I LOVE Facebook and am about to stalk you daily. :)

Julie@Momspective said...

Okay, I mean stalk you after I FIND you on there. Geesh.

FoN said...

I suddenly feel so grateful you bought Lena that play dough....

Cole said...

There is nothing worse than Facebook chat!! (Ok, maybe fire, but it is close...) Hope you feel better soon!

piecemeal people said...

Oh my. That cradle just screams "bloody impalings," doesn't it? I guess I'd have to vote for the car...

Anne said...

I love the baby gifts! Any of them would rock, but I am partial to the Klingon cradle.

Carrin said...

That baby car is great! You'd be the coolest kid on the block, that's for sure!

Captain Dumbass said...

The Klingon cradle would make you the best friend ever. Unless your friend has hardwood. Those bat'leth's would be hell on the floor.

Kathy B! said...

Do NOT go for that cradle unless you want the mother to accidentally lose a toe when that things rocks while she's putting the baby in there...

Kekibird said...

So it's YOU who got me sick :::sniff, sniff::: I've been down for over a week and miserable with some sinus thingy. I just hope my son doesn't get it.

Nice babymobile. That's a toy you can be certain no other baby will fight over to play with.

Suzi said...

That's the sweetest ride I have ever seen! The cradle, a bit sharp, but appealing.

GroovyGirl said...

maybe your undiagnosed illness is a the newest strain of the zombie flu. I have had it now for over a month...sucks big ones

The Mother said...

That Klingon cradle is amazing. I know my boys would have slept better in there than in the soft, cuddly thing I used.

Darn.

Missty said...

Love your blog. First timer playing today. Came over from Blogging mama's.

Sam said...

That's the creepiest buggy I've ever seen. I love it.

I say splurge and get both! Nothing says love like overspending!!!

gigidiaz said...

WHAT??? The Febreeze Ninja is not a real ninja?? OMG!!! Oh.My.God....

And I would go with the cyclops bloody ride. The other thing looks too sharp. I would love you forever if I had a kid and you showed up with that thing lmao.

GreenJello said...

The Klingon cradle speaks to the Trekkie in me.

So. Cool.

:)

Mama Badger said...

Ooooh. Love the cling-on cradle. It's really the pointy dangly things that make the whole piece...

Nothing like too much snot in your head to keep you from thinking straight. Good luck with that!

Kristen said...

I love the baby items! Not like I would want them...but they are cool! And the FB part is so true. That is why I always make myself invisible to chat :)

shortmama said...

I like the sweet ride. Besides it can pull double duty, be a one of a kind ride by day, and scare the living shit out of someone by night

Jenni said...

i can't say enough good things about cake.

Kaylen said...

It's almost like we are one brain. One allergy infested brain.

I've had some great random thoughts all week and have been ready to put them down on my special RTT post, but then Tuesday came and I forgot them all. I'm busy taking allergy medicine and blowing my nose.

I vote for the cradle. What new mom wouldn't love that??

CDB said...

I'm sorry about the cold/allergy/brain mush thing.. hope you're on the mend soon.

Wowzer, that toddler car is scary. I'm going to have nightmares, but at least it didn't involve a zombie.

I noticed that about FB friends too.. ha.

True Blue Texan said...

Loving the cradle. Too bad I have no one to buy one for.

Hope you're feeling better.

ModernMommy said...

The cradle?! Please tell me no one would ACTUALLY put a baby in that thing. The walker I thought was cute at first but then I decided I didn't like it. My husband however would totally dig it.

Toni said...

Amen to the Facebook thought. And that baby walker? I think that would buy the kid therapy in about 20 years with repressed memories lol

Midlife Mama said...

I've done RTT before but have never done the linky thing...so here I am!! Guess that makes me official now. Oh, and the baby in the giant eyeball thing? Scary. Way scary. LOL

D.M. Wright said...

You make me laugh, even with a sinus infection something kicking your ass. Love the sweet ride. I think that is the gift of a best friend. You have to be careful about Kling-on stuff - not everyone has great taste!

Ivan Chan Studio said...

Hey--sent here by Captain Dumbass's blog (Us & Them) and think you're absolutely hilarious!

Thanks for randomizing my Tuesdays.

I.

Cascia said...

I am still laughing at your choices for baby gifts. But they are pretty cool. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. I always enjoy reading your random thoughts. Keep them coming!

Ms. Salti said...

The baby car and cradle kind of scare me! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one not able to muster any brain wave activity lately! Take a day off, you deserve it!

Storm, The Psychotic Housewife said...

If my husband saw that ride, he'd buy it for our daughter. lol

Mrsbear said...

If I'd known that monster car existed I would've gone out of my way to procure one, as it is we've got far too many ride-on toys floating around the house. But I'd set them all on fire in my backyard for that one.

I've started going "offline" on the chat function every time I log on to FB. Does that make me antisocial or just bitchy? Or probably both.

I have tree pretty fire bad days too. You're excused. Gesundheit.

Sheila said...

I thought of you when I saw this...

Rachel said...

hee hee. My husband thinks that head-car would do psychological damage to a child. Which, you know, wouldn't be funny, but for some reason I'm finding my husband's solemn authoritative proclamation pretty funny.

Frogs in my formula said...

Where did you find those pictures? They're hilarious.

Might I recommend sangria with floating fruit instead of a mojito? I find that the fruit makes the drink feel like a meal, which makes you feel better about not eating dinner and drinking instead.

Ivan Chan Studio said...

MrsBear: It makes you neither antisocial nor bitchy to assert your privacy and right not to be interrupted!

I've taken myself permanently offline on FB so that I can chat if I want to, but usually, I'm there to check messages and post comments, and get out! I use FB, it doesn't use me is how I see it.

I.

Meli said...

I love that ride.

Of course ninjas eat cake. The controversy arises when discussing the kind of cake they eat.

Becky said...

That Klingon cradle fills me with hate. A hate I can't explain.

And I'm random again for the first time in a while. Recognize!

DysFUNctional Mom said...

I LOVE that ride! Awesome.

Ane Fallarme said...

That is one sweet ride! :)

and as usual I am late for RTT!

Happy Tuesday on a Wednesday Keely! :)

Ananda girl said...

You and your sister are nuts! I like that in people! ;-)

What fun!

Fish said...

can i get in on a wednesday? LOL!

Bex said...

i so totally you and i were friends when i had my kids. all i got at my showers were baby blue crap.

Schnibbelsche said...

Love the Randon thoughts Tuesday. I'm in!
