Woot! It's Tuesday! Tuesday is actually the start of my work week now, so there's less 'woot' involved than you'd think. So to speak.
Tuesday means random, so if you've got some stray thoughts you want to herd up (git along, little dogies!), write 'em all up together and use this handy, sticky button to turn them into a legitimate post. Sort of.
Ready? Go!
Hubby is currently sitting on the computer behind me, blogging and slurping tea and watching football. It's seriously fucking with my mojo.
He also has a snorty type of cold.
I can't do this.
Have I mentioned lately I'm a little hormonal? Like, I alternately want to sleep, scream, cry, or stab something? It's awesome. And by awesome I mean "rip this fucking uterus out of me right now or I'll do it myself with a grapefruit spoon".
What? They have that handy jagged edge.
So, am I the only person who thinks "Cyber Monday" sounds kind of dirty? Anyone? Okay, never mind. Just...keep both hands on the keyboard where I can see them.
This is the kind of email conversation I wish I could have with my boss. Except, he pays me, so I guess I don't have that as a reason to rage.
Don't worry, I have many others.
Some random thoughts from my son: "Soap! Wash! Orange and Blue! Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy! Mum? Mouth! Nummies! Eat! Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy!"
(I translated for you. It actually sounded like this: "Ope! Osh! Oynge n Boo! Ai Daddy! Ai Daddy! Ai Daddy! Ai Daddy! Ai Daddy! Ai Daddy! Mum? Mowf! Nummies! Eat! Ai Daddy! Ai Daddy! Ai Daddy!")
I'm going to get one of these for my kid's first day of school. Since that's 3 years away, possibly by then he'll be able to speak properly and explain to people what a headcase his mother is.
I'm pretty much done my Christmas shopping. I know, you hate me, right? Don't worry, it's only because I don't have any friends.
Okay, not really. My brain just works in that elusive "ideal" way that people claim they aspire to - I only buy gifts for people if I think it's something they would truly love and it's something I'd truly love to give them. With the possible exception of my inlaws, I feel no sense of gift obligation anymore.
I'm sure it just adds to other people's anxiety - omg, she got me a gift, I wasn't expecting a gift! Now I have to get her a gift! Wait - this year she didn't get me a gift! What a bitch!
(I live to give. Even if it's the gift of anxiety.)
I have another mouse in my house. Unlike the one I murdered in the spring, this one is a coward. It has yet to show it's furry little face, only leaves its little brown calling cards and gnaws loudly when it thinks everyone is asleep.
I feel disdain for it.
From Google Analytics: "Elephant never lies and never forgets shirt"
Okay! That's it for me. I'm tapped. Want to drain your own brain? Grab the button and link up!
(Mr. Linky and I had another tiff and he's locked me out of the house for the night. So when he gets the flowers I sent in the morning, I'll fix this. Til then, leave your link in the comments.)

I would like that backpack for Christmas, please. Only because it's something that I would truly love, and something that I know you would truly like to give. And, it's awesome.
Here's my linkage.
I still need to go back and read I just wanted to leave my link

That silly mister linky!

Have a snorky sort of cold AND am hormonal here. Not my best post. Ha.
Just wanted to join in on the randomness!
http://jumpin-beans.blogspot.com/2009/12/random-tuesday-thoughts.html
Mine is sort of depressing...
http://notjust9to5.com/2009/12/01/random-tuesday-a-tribute/
I'm sorry to hear about you and Mr. Linky. Most men just want sex so...
I'm just sayin'...

Hope you catch your mouse. Here's my link.

Stupid Mr. Linky. http://unmitigated.typepad.com/unmitigated/2009/11/random-tuesday-thoughtsthe-unfinished-symphony.html
I don't like what my uterus is doing to me lately either, although I think maybe the ovaries are more to blame.
That is the scariest fucking spider bookbag I've ever seen. It would look like it was eating your son. That would actually be quite an awesome impression for the first day of Kindergarten.
My Random Tuesday Thoughts
http://morganrnl.blogspot.com/2009/12/rtt-anti-christ.html
I thought the same thing about Cyber Monday.
That Spider is so big, that your son will fall over if he took it to Kindergarten...wait for second grade, when he'll still be a twig, but with a littl muscle behind it. Then he will enjoy the hilarity of the situation too.
That email was freakin' hilarious!
I feel your pain. I was ready to remove my ovary with a spatula, but waited for surgery and now it's gone. Woot!
That backpack would seriously freak everyone out.

A mouse, you say?? Good luck with that!! The man and I recently got rid of a squirrel problem we were having in our roof...little bugger!!
~Working Mommy
Come on by, stay for a while and leave a comment or two!!
Ha ha okay maybe your method would be a good crisis solution.. we need less friends so we can buy less gifts! NOTED:)
Oh and there must be something about you that the rats love since they keep visiting you.. i wonder what that is??:):):)
Happy Tuesday!
* my Random Tuesday Thoughts are up too:)
We finished shopping too. I'm still in shock about the whole thing.
Though if anyone wants to get me something,they could pay my heating bill, that would be a useful gift.

I'm almost finished with Christmas shopping. It's the hubby I'm having trouble figuring out what to get - his 'hobbies' are beyond my budget range, and anything else he wants he ends up buying a couple of weeks before Christmas. I'm surprised I've maintained most of my sanity through it all. ;)
That email was HILARIOUS!!
Now we're 'even' on the spider... ;)
Good luck with the mouse - so far we haven't seen any trace of the little monsters in our house this year, though the dogs brought a dead rat to the back porch as a gift. Hubby tossed it in the offending neighbor's flower bed. :)
Random Tuesday Thoughts - Towering Dark Tree and 3D Nightmare
I will never sleep again. Goddamn arachnids.
I've been in a foul mood and I'm not sure if my uterus is to blame or not. I'm getting me a grapefruit spoon just in case.
Yes, Cyber Monday sounds dirty.
That's a very scary backpack. It will give me nightmares. Thank you.
I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet. I don't even want to think about it until I have the money to do so. In that case people should be getting there gifts sometime in February.
Have a great Tuesday!
Oh, and here's my link...

The gift of anxiety. Now, that's love right there. I've got no random today because I went to a Pixies show last night and my thought are all, OMG PIXIES I LOVE YOU and OMG CHEAP BEER I HATE YOU.
Yeah, totally felt like a pervert googling the words cyber monday!!
Happy RTT!
That email exchange is pure awesomeness.
http://mommamadeitlookeasy.blogspot.com/2009/12/just-big-mish-mash-random-tuesday.html
That backpack rocks!
Heaven forbid the elephant forget his shirt, it could get cold. But does he have to forget his shit? Always leaves a stink...
Mr. Linky being Mr. Stinky again?

Cyber Monday? ... I have to admit I'm a little curious.
You Son talks my Son's talk.
Happy RTT! I love your son's jabber translation! Sometimes I have to do that for our son to my hubby. haha
I also have evil thoughts of ripping out my uterus. And I've barely started Christmas shopping...damn.
Gifts for the in-laws are as hard to buy as gifts for the step-dad. The step dad you've only known for 8 years, has everything, you argue with all the time, and if you don't get him anything your mom will make you feel like a worm. I'm so looking forward to shopping for him.
I am so glad to see that you and M. Linky are getting along again! I love the spider backpack. It somehow makes the spider look cute and cuddly (maybe I just like fur).
Me and my best friend have a pact- we love each other enough to not give each other gifts at Christmas. Because there's the stress about picking the right gift, the hassle of shipping, the wrapping the...UGH. So every Christmas that I don't get a gift from her (and vice versa) we think of each other. :)
I'm right there with you on being almost done with Christmas shopping. And something must be in the air that's distributing crazy ass hormones..I've been a little bit of a crank ass..along with some wonderful breast pain..just in case you wanted to know.
That spider is cool but it's bigger than my child... which would actually make it cooler. And hubby has a blog?
I'm done with shopping too! I'm not usually that together, but the impending new baby kicked me into gear.
And why don't you have booze? You better get on that.
Sorry Keely- I'm on there twice. My bad. Thanks :)
Ugh, we've got a mouse, too.
I'm in -
http://missmaryannesunshine.blogspot.com
I really despise the fact that you have all your shopping done... but I was forbidden from buying gifts this year, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
That backpack is INSANE!
Um, I never thought of "Cyber Monday" as dirty-sounding, but from now on I will...hee..hee...
I am done with my Xmas shopping , too, so I can't hate you(this is a first for me and I am in shock about it)
My Tuesday Randomness is up...(missed a few weeks, but am determined to do better in the future, yes, Ma'am.)
I wonder what's wrong with all of us? I just wrote a truly dysfunctional RTT and yesterday was literally my Bitchfest 09 (part deux). Husbands are LAME. They're always like "feed me, pay attention to me, do me". Wah. Buy me Twizzlers.
I kicked my uterus to the curb in February and it was one of the top 5 decisions of my life(The other four read my blog and tend to look over my shoulder so I can't make it number one). If you aren't quite ready for that, then my only other suggestion would be heavy narcotics. Or booze. Both is probably not a good idea. You totally rocked the random as usual. I really loved the email conversation too. Hang in there!
No gift-obligation? That's pretty impressive...
I actually kind of like the reciprocal gift giving thing. I just wish that the gift-giving season was not at the same time of year as end-of-semester, cookie exchange, Christmas cards, holiday travel, etc.
Wow. Those must be some serious hormones to even contemplate the pain of a grapefruit spoon. ouch.
grapefruit spoon huh? ouches... I would like that backpack except i am scared of spiders, I have no christmas presents for anyone yet!!
I stole your claim to fame just so ya know! I promise to give it back after today but I needed the Geek girl mojo for a few.
My linkage!
http://confessionsofacollegeangel.blogspot.com/2009/12/random-sadness.html
I have never figured out how to make it link in these things!
Ugh, I didn't do RTT cuz I actually had random thoughts on sunday. I should have saved them. I'll be back next week to play.
Great thoughts tho, I love the grapefruit spoon image. I always tell people I'm gonna dig my eyes out with a spoon. Quite poetic I think. But uterus is definitely funnier. I'll use that instead!
Yeah I'm right there with you with the hormones. And Cyber Monday does sound a bit kinky lol.
I think there was a conspiracy to name it Cyber Monday. Because it sounds dirty, people want to get in on it more.
Isn't gibberish fun? I tell my almost 2 year old nephew "english please" all the time and he says "no". :0P
I like the giant tarantula backpack, but even it wasn't too big to cover up the geekdude's giant wedgie in the second shot. Ow.
I have also finished my Christmas shopping but that is because I am unemployed about only bought four ;)
Good luck with your uterus. Those things can really suck.
Must be the season for Estrogen in the air cuz I am about to shank someone if one more ass messes with me. Between my tweens at home, the lovelies I teach, and the MO-rons that come in and out of my life....someone is gonna get hurt and it aint this girl! Cheers, Lisa :)
Two things: I feel your mouse pain (the sticky traps work well when the mouse is smart enough to avoid the trap but still lick off the peanut butter) and if you fail in finding a grapefruit spoon, sporks offer another interesting option [just saying, but not endorsing that sort of surgery. *wink*]
I hear you on the hormonal thing. I'm going semi insane over here... Good luck with yours.
Don't carve out your uterus just yet, you're probably going to need it.
That email fight was awesome. The last pie chart was the best.
Keely, I hate to make more work for you, but I am randomizing today. I'm such a joiner!
And listen, what is your plan for dealing with this mouse???
Sorry, I see now that Mr. Linky is fixed. I'll just back out of here quietly now.
That makes me crazy when someone is invading my blogging space!!!
Seems like someone is always sick!
I forgot to link, I guess its too late now :(
I'll make this quick cause my internet connection is acting up... I'm hormonal too!!
I haven't even started my christmas shopping, and I only have 23 days left!!
In my grandma's house there's like a mice family and no matter how many they catch and kill, accidentally, of course, it doesn't matter, there are still so many! Ewww!
The email link was a riot!!! For those of us who aren't self-employed, it's an everyday fantasy!
I actually put up this week's RTT Tuesday morning at 12:30 and then forgot to link up until now, dammit all.
I. Loved. Those. Pie Charts. :)
Love it, will come to play next week.
That backpack might also be a good behavioral device.
Don't MAKE me GET the backpack!
Oh my god that email chain...I am sitting here trying to be quiet on a Sunday morning while everyone sleeps in and howling. They are all waking up now and would like to thank you. :)
Freaking hysterical!!!
