This is what happens when I have distractions and no booze: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 4:37AM 
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.

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.

Have a snorky sort of cold AND am hormonal here. Not my best post. Ha.
Just wanted to join in on the randomness!

Mine is sort of depressing...

I'm sorry to hear about you and Mr. Linky. Most men just want sex so...
I'm just sayin'...

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.

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!!

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 http://designitchic.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">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.

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.
