I don't really feel like a chatty intro today. So I'm just going to launch into random. Get your button, do your thing. And...GO.
Did anybody else's Firefox offer to pretty itself up for you? Mine is now sporting a picture of a retro flapper girl. I feel like maybe my web browser is trying too hard.
Hubby and I had another date night tonight, we used up some gift cards we had to a swanky restaurant that's in the middle of the park. We got all dolled up, got a sitter, ate way too much and had some wine, and then came home less than two hours later and immediately got into our pajamas. Now I'm blogging and he's watching wrestling. Possibly one or both of us is farting. It was kind of like playing grown-up, there, for a little bit.
Last week? Sucked. My kid made a break for it at daycare, spent Friday puking, and burnt himself on the stove Sunday. I didn't get the job I interviewed for (I didn't really want it anyway, but that's not the fucking point) and the job I do have sucked with its regular force.
So I thought I'd get things off on the right foot this week with a dentists appointment this morning.
I know, I'm concerned about my IQ as well.
I think I hate getting my teeth cleaned more than the actual check up. After I jolted out of the chair for the 4th or 5th time, the dental hygienist remarked without much sympathy, "Oh, they're all very sensitive today, aren't they?"
Well, yes, if you're jabbing them with a pointy metal instrument, they're sensitive. Though I'm not sure that just applies to TODAY
I almost never watch TV, let alone reality TV, but last night I found myself enthralled with the season premier of Celebrity Apprentice. I think it was because I was watching it in HD. Bret Michaels, Cyndi Lauper, and Sharon Osbourne? That is a LOT of facial crevices. I felt a bit discombobulated. Like I might fall in.
In the wrong end of town and lacking a dollar coin for the cart at Superstore, against my better moral judgement today I ventured into the new Super Wal Mart for groceries. Okay, now THAT was discombobulating. At one point I texted hubby: "Avocados are eleven cents each and there are zombies working here. I'm going to hell, aren't I?"
He assures me I have to spend more than $250 in a trip before they punch my ticket to the infernal realm, but I'm not convinced.
I'm pretty sure I saw this lady there. She winked at me and handed me an avocado.
I'm starting to feel bad for John Cusack. Hot Tub Time Machine, really? Really? If you need money, man, all you have to do is ask.
(I still love ya though. Call me.)
On that note - that desperate, love-hate kind of note - I'm out. Random up, kids.
56 people talked back :
See I actually thought that Hot Tub movie looked kinda funny (and I'm not even a Cusack fan). Maybe I've been eaten by zombies.
I would look at Firefox but everytime I do my computer flies into the blue screen of death. I. Love. Windows. Vista.
Happy RTT!
Whoa! Number 4! I never get in that early!
I'm with BMA - I thought the Hot Tub movie looked kinda funny...maybe because John Cusack is in it. :)
Sorry about the series of unfortunate events over the weekend - here's hoping this week is much better! :)
Seriously, I'd rather get a pap smear, while getting a rectal exam, than go to the dentist. Yes, dentures are in my future.
We tried to do date night on Friday but daughter started puking at 4. Date night was canceled.
I can't remember the last time I went to the dentist. Shhh. don't tell.
Happy RTT~
"Woman's Horn Stuns Family"...Yeah, I bet.
I thought the same thing when I saw the previews for Hot Tub Time Machine, just the title made it seem like someone dropped the ball.
I don't think anyone can fault you for giving in to 11 cent avocados.
I found myself into Celebrity Apprentice also. My hubby was like "Who in the hell is that....who is that?" He didn't know who most of them were. Oh, and I totally feel your pain about the dentist. Sometimes I think they forget what it feels like to sit in that chair.
You just described in perfect detail the WalMart I shop at. And that woman with the avocado? I think it might have been me.
I thought the exact same thng about John Cusack's latest effort, which is why I will see it. He needs the money. :-)
I actually like going to the dentist but I'm very odd! And I completely agree about John Cusack. Dude obviously does need the money because there would be no rational thought of his that said, "this is gonna be a great movie."
The 6 yr old put Totoro on my firefox
A pretty good definition of hell - being forced to watch faux-celebrity TV while having your teeth cleaned....in a Wallmart.
Oh, I love John Cusak! I have yet to hear of this movie. Probably because I live in Europe where everything socially relevant is weeks or months behind, thus leaving me looking like a dork on FB.
Shit. I'm going to NY AGAIN and the first thing my friend told me was that I need to go see The Hot Tub Time Machine with him. I don't even know what it is yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be horrible but it has Horsedick.Mpeg from Miss March in it, so I'm left with no choice.
I'm sorry to say that eternal damnation is a lot less expensive. Especially if you shop at WalMart. I'll pray for you.
I switched to Google Chrome and ditched Firefox when I realized Facebook games loaded much faster on it.. :D
Date night for me and hubby is a dream I am hoping to fulfill in the near future..
I don't like going to the dentist, I only go if absolutely necessary, otherwise, bleh. :P
I vow never to click on any of your links! :D Seriously, where do you get these things? Freaky creepy old woman.. and does she have to be eating what looks like a medium rare piece of chicken leg?! Creeped me out like hell!
Anyhoo, wow, tough week. I hope this week goes better!
Happy RTT! :)
Yeah, John Cusack could video himself diving into a pool of Cool Whip and I'd go see it.
Why'd you have to mention the dentist? I have an appointment on Monday that I've delayed around 5 times (I had a good excuse for the first 2 or 3, now I'm just stalling).
Wow this is really great random. I can't play today because I have to cuss someone out on my blog for sending an anonymous letter to my job telling me that I use foul language on my blog. I guess I should get to writing it.
I always love your randoms! They brighten my day. I know, that's sad, but it's true!
Okay, that Chinese horn lady?Seriously disturbing. Ewwwww. Sorry you didn't get the job that you didn't really want.
Ah ... I can relate. Last week was so busy I can hardly remember it and this week promises more of the same. I noticed the options with the latest Firefox update but haven't had time to check it out and probably never will. I'm headed for the dentist this afternoon (after my computer class this morning) because I lost a filling over the weekend and I'm sure he'll want me to stay and let the gal clean MY teeth too ... though I'm not looking forward to any of it. I'm listening to discussion about earthquake preparedness on the TV ... apparently a 4.4 magnitude quake happened this morning just after 4am, centered about 30 miles from me but it doesn't seem to have done much damage. Hope it's not a precursor to something larger on the way.
Hugs and blessings,
Bummer about the job, I do hope the next day is better. That horn is a bit out there isn't it?
They hired someone with lots of admin experience, she could start full-time immediately and she's First Nations. There was no way you were going to get that job.
My wife and I went to a suitcase show at the art school my wife used to attend (That's where someone shows their jewelry). We also got all dolled up and the receptionist said it looks like date night. I had to take her out for dinner to make it official.
Happy RTT!
ewww that horn was scary! sorry you didn't get the job. I know that sucks.
Oh man, your randoms make me smile so much. I once kicks a Dentist in the shin while I was getting a cleaning. just thinking about them makes my skin crawl.
Your date night sounds similar to our date nights. Although it is nice to eat a meal where you don't have to bargain, cajol, or threaten someone to eat.
Agh, the dreaded Wal mart visit. I have been there only a handful of times, and I try to keep my head down and my eye on the prize.
11 cents, really??
Makes me want to eat some guacamole.
And the woman with a horn makes me want to run far away.
Sounds like date night at my house!
I am so torn about Hot tub Time Machine. I love the 80s and I love John Cusack but the title just says, "Please don't see me." I may have to cave anyway since I just adore John Cusack.
I swear dental hygenists are sadists. I get that all the time too. "Oh, your teeth are really sensitive." Actually, let me stab you in the gums with a sharp object with none of the "caines" in your system and tell me how you feel.
And for some strange reason I really want to see Hot Tub Time Machine, if for nothing other than the 80's references.
How do you refrain from smacking the Dental Hygienist? Just curious... I could use the tips.
OMG!! The horn... really? I think I'll have the image of her biting that bat's head off stuck in my head all day.
Where to even start? I've been sporting the ninjas on Firefox for awhile now, maybe it's time to pretty up again. And at least you have the option of the Super Wal Mart.
I think that horned woman has a sister here in my town. Scary. I love your random today.
haha! Damn those are some cheap avacodoes I want some! You and your hubby sound like me and mine! I told him the other day I wanted to spend the day just him and I. After going to dinner and to walmart we came home he turned on the TV and I was all ummm hello hes all what I spent the whole day with you!....Ya ok! lol off to computer land haha
Your date night sounds like mine, we go out for a nice dinner then come home and do our own thing!!! As for the dentist, I think we should be allowed to hold one of their tools(preferably the sharpest one) and every time they hurt us we should be able to jab them....just a thought!!!!
I'm not getting a flapper girl. I feel so left out. And speaking of crappy movies with John Cusack, have you seen 2012? Outrageous special effects, but the acting? Yikes. John needs to get a new agent.
Yeah, what about that hot tub time machine? are you kidding? They'll buy anything in Hollywood. I am always feeling random on the weekend, when I'm running errands and away from my laptop. Why is it I can never remember what I wanted to rave about by the time it's Tuesday?
A note to Amy (#42) I can't figure out how to comment on your blog...either it's hiding from me or I need more coffee lol Sorry Keely for using you to post to someone else!!
I hadn't even heard of Hot Tub Time Machine until this makeup artist I follow said she was working on it and (not to say she isn't well known)then I assumed it was some D list movie and saw he was in it and thought...What? Now I guess I should track down a preview.
And...we have a date night this friday!! Our sitter loves Babe so much, idk why he threw up everywhere last time she had him, she is keeping him overnight! Woo!
Well your date nights sound like my date nights. And I have been to that wal-mart. I think he is right. $250 :)
You saw that horn lady at Wal-Mart? She was a greeter, wasn't she?
Sorry about the job, momma. It wasn't right for you. Fingers crossed for the next one.
Nice, ummm...hornlady. That's cool that she can still find gainful employment. :P
Sending you good wishes for a vomit-free week!
WalMart now sells organic brown eggs in the WalMart brand, and they're less expensive than the white eggs. It's totally fucking with my whole "hate WalMart for being an evil, soul sucking corporation" plan. I can hardly totally hate a place where I can get organic eggs, gluten free lemon wafers and vanilla rice milk all in the same place and for under ten dollars.
It's really messing me up.
We had dentist appointments today too. Boo.
Also with the horn lady- why did they feel it was necessary to photograph her eating? I mean she was creepy enough with out the giant animal leg hanging out of her mouth.
Dentist and cleaning...no fun!! No likey at all!!!
Hope the next job is the "One" you have been waiting for!!
I feel Melanie's pain. We are supposed to hate WalMart! LOL!
Hugs
SueAnn
Why are some hygenists so gentle and others monsters?? And don't you love how they blame it on you??
Poor John Cusack...
wow, that's kind of how our dates go. It's sad, really.
You don't mention whether you stabbed your dental hygienist with her own tools. Fully deserved, as far as I'm concerned. Friggin' Maquese De Sade followers.
Holy crap, that woman has a horn. And she's growing another one. Cue the obsessively religious people chanting because the world is coming to an end.
Sounds like you need some duct tape (apply as need to all people or objects) and a new dentist.
WalMart is not evil just scary, I always see some crazy stuff at ours in the center of yuppyville. I make my GMIL pick up stuff that I need there.
Fun fun fun. I'm totally adding you to my reading list now!

I'm really enjoying the Random Thought Tuesday. I think it's stickin' w/me.
I've been liking it so much I decided to participate from two of my blogs #69 and #70 on your Mr. Linky Delio.
#69 is my Domestic Divapalooza blog where I blog politics. I actually did two in one and listed those memes at the end of my post.
#70 is my I Am Pooped blog where I use the button because it fits better.
I hope it's ok because I could have swore I posted one and then came back to find it removed. If I am doing something wrong please tell me so I can fix it. Thanks.
Keep up the good work. This is a great meme.
Thanks for reminding me - I need to make a dentist appointment...
hahaha, my girlfriend and I do the same thing when we go out for date night. It's so much effort to get dressed in more than sweats, put on makeup and do my hair. After I stuff my face full of food I'm ready to veg on the sofa.
I missed Celebrity Apprentice. I don't know if I could handle all those facial crevices. Back in the day I luved Bret Michaels.
the dental hygienists are totally more evil than the dentists.
they need to strap on the happy gas mask before digging in peoples mouths.
assholes.
<3 andrea
I'm kind of shocked to hear you say you're watching reality TV since you're the anti-TV watcher. I love The Celebrity Apprentice, it's like a train wreck you can't look away from. Let me know when you start yelling at your TV.
Your date nights are amazingly similar to ours, back in boxers the second we get home and we go to our separate couches to do whatever. Fun stuff, being grown up.
