    Wine and body parts: Random Tuesday Thoughts

    randomtuesday

    It's that time again....I wonder how many of these things I've done? And if you added up all the random thoughts, would you get a story?

    Feelin' scatterbrained and random? Need to take a mental piss before you can write properly? Grab the button, write an incohesive post, and ta-da! We can take that "does not play well with others" status off of your report card.

    So, let's go!

    I've recently decided that Weight Watchers can suck it when it comes to my wine during blogging. I'm just not as clever without it. It keeps up my spirits. Really, wine is essential to my success as a blogger.

    Why yes, I can rationalize anything, why do you ask?


    So I posted yesterday about my one over-developed ab (My keg, if you will, yes, thank you for that visual, Beth, remind me to repay you somehow) and how it's making life on that side of my body uncomfortable, but I didn't mention the various other self-diagnoses I ran through before arriving at that conclusion. Like, oh I don't know, a potentially enlarged liver. (See above). Or a lump on my lung or possibly some kind of pancreas injury.

    That last one I kind of had mixed feelings about, because several many years ago in a fit of drunken hilarity (at least to us), a bunch of us all put five bucks into a pot, which was to be paid out to the first of us to require pancreatic surgery. And I totally had that $40 spent.

    Yes, I have always been this demented, why do you ask?

    Is it just me, or does "unoaked" shiraz taste like, well, someone shoved a bunch of grapes into an aluminum can to rot?


    Hubby is off work all week because he needed a vacation. I could totally get into this "house husband" thing. So far he's cleaned the garage (um, no)
    put up the drapes (wait, not quite)
    done the dishes ( uh...)
    finished the requirements to get our house energy efficient (okay, THAT one might even earn us money but...no.)
    swept up dog hair (in his defense, there's a LOT of it)
    gotten up with the toddler so I could sleep in
    (hmph.)
    ...napped on the couch and fed the toddler ice cream.

    Wait. WHY does anybody have a house husband, again?

    Apparently now it can't be a Tuesday, or even a day ending in -day, without me mentioning zombies, because people keep sending me links like this.

    Which? Totally practical for when the time comes and all, but, maybe not so much with a toddler around.

    Also, I don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but ZOMBIES FREAK ME THE FUCK OUT. Stop making me think about them!


    Despite all my talking about zombies here, exactly ONE google search containing the word 'zombie' has lured someone in. Yet there are all these sites and links about zombies that people are perfectly happy to send me. Which makes me conclude with scientific certainty that all zombie sites and campaigns are popularized VIRALLY.

    Wait. Zombies...viral. Viral zombies. Zombies could be spread by a virus.

    Crap. They don't even have to EXIST, and they're going to take over the internet.

    Is there some kind of additional ingredient to "unoaked" shiraz that I'm not informed on?


    This photo of my son in the bath is residing happily on Photobucket, but a photo of his naked butt got deleted. They must have an automatic "butt recognition" program or something? Who designs such software, and how is their job satisfaction? Or is it just one guy going through all the uploaded pics looking for ass crack?

    Because I might need a new job. I suck at programming, but I'm good with butts.

    So someone better start paying me to blog before I am sucked into the seedy world of photobucket porn. Til then, keep it random...grab the button, blather away (with or without wine, it's not mandatory, though I recommend it), and leave your link with Mr. Linky. Try to visit a few of the other participants, because everybody on this list RAWKS!

    Happy Tuesday, ya'll!

    Urban Bone Machete Mark II - because one wasn't enough? I had no idea so many zombie weapons existed outside of video games.

    The bath picture is cutest thing I've seen in awhile. I have no idea how you manage 3 blogs - I can barely do one.

    I usually wander in late to the party. I guess all that sleep I am missing is good for something. I have the same kind of husband that you have. Really not cut out to be a stay at home dad. If I weren't here, I think my kids would live on pasta and cake.

    It's hit or miss when my husband's home. Sometimes he'll be like super honey do husband and get a bunch of stuff done and then there are other times when he pretty much goes from bed to recliner, to another recliner, (because doesn't everyone need two?) to bed.

    If you don't want all the links of zombies, send them to me. I think zombies are neat. Unless they are zombie clowns and then, that is just scary.

    It's barely 7:00 in the morning and I just don't have anything witty to say (need my diet coke first) so I'll just say hey I was here :)

    I think Weight Watchers can suck it in general. ;) Vodka tonics are a nice writing aid too. It would be funny to have someone go through my posts and determine which were written in the morning, and which were written in the evening. And no, there's no vodka in my OJ...at least not yet.

    Photobucket butt porn.. I wonder who will land here from those crazy Google searches. Viral zombies is funny, and it's funny your loyal following keeps perpetuating your fear. Do zombie banks count?

    I have the overdeveloped lumpy ab too and it's made me think I'm dying on more than one occasion. There is a smaller lump on the opposite side from the smaller kid. How weird is that? I have a semi-house husband (he works from home a lot) and although it has its advantages, like him cooking and cleaning, it also has its disadvantages, like him scowling at me for blogging too much. Happy Tuesday!

    I am bummed that I didn't participate this week. I totally forgot. Maybe I will post twice today.

    But I would definitely need wine for that. "Oaked" Shiraz preferably.

    I can see your comments! I was beginning to think the zombies controlled those too, cuz I had some real comment gems...
    ANYTHING "unoaked" will taste like it's been rotting in an aluminum can. Don't ask how I know this. It's not pretty..

    Maybe you should have had some oaked Shiraz before moving onto the the unoaked bottle...then maybe you'd already be buzzed and not notice the fermented in a tin can taste... ;) I'm going to have to start writing my posts at night with wine instead of in the morning with coffee...I think hubby would really start to wonder about me if I were drinking wine in the morning to spice up my posts...(snicker!)

    My hubby would definitely not make a good 'house husband' either...sure there are times when he's all gung-ho and motivated to get things done, but usually at the expense of me getting my stuff done...you know, like blogging...other times he just gets underfoot - which also interrupts blogging time... ;)

    Viral Zombies I can do without... Adorable pics I can't live without... ;)

    Great Randomness! :) Happy Tuesday!

    I do everything better with a couple of glasses of wine or at least I think I do. Unoaked anything is nasty.

    I promise not to send you any zombie shit.

    House husbands....not real productive.

    Maybe photobucket is down. I use flicker and sometimes my photos won't show up on my blog because the site is down. Maybe your husband just wanted to participate in "National Napping Day." I read that yesterday was National Napping Day!

    Weight Watchers can just suck it.

    Ok, why is it that by the time I get over here to read this... half the world has already been here? Damn, Keely.. and it's not even 7am here...you got it going on girl. (I know, I'm on the wrong coast for more reasons than that..)

    Now.. I asked my better all-wine-knowing half and he says:

    "This is a wine I like with a significant Syrah component that sees no oak:

    http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=37776

    fermented in cement!"

    That's my contribution to your wine habit for today... no you can't borrow him....

    I loved it when my hubby was a SAHD. He did all the things I hated - laundry, dishes, etc. He's more of a clean freak than I am. He just didn't like it when the kids dragged their toys out to play with them, he would say, "I just cleaned this room!"
