I effed with the space-time continuum and ended up on the ranch: Random Tuesday Thoughts

Hey kids! Guess what time it is?

Except, well, it's not really that time. Or, it will be when you read this, but not right NOW. See, right NOW I'm probably sleeping the sleep of the deaf after seeing No Doubt in concert, so I'm writing my Random Tuesday Thoughts in advance this week. Right, um, NOW. Well, like, NOW now, not NOW.

Holy crap I think I just invented time travel. And then broke my brain.

So if you want to play, grab yerself a button, piss out a stream of consciousness, and call it Random Tuesday!

I actually had to start this post on the crappy older computer in Internet Explorer. NOW I REMEMBER WHY I USE FIREFOX. You ever see somebody's blog post with like, an inordinate amount of space between paragraphs? Yeah, you can bet they wrote it using IE, saved it, and came back to it later. To find that their carriage returns had gotten busy and multiplied. Oh! And don't even get me started on the hula dance you have to do to cut and paste something between blog posts. ROAR.

Today I drove out to my parents house. I call it "The Ranch". They don't actually ranch, or farm anything, but it's about 20 acres, a half hour out of town. They were always city dwellers until they retired.

I know, most people downsize when they retire, but whatevs.

Anyway, they're off hiking and Mom wanted me to water her plants. So I loaded the toddler into the car and drove out to do that. Guess what? You can fit a lot of plants into 20 acres.

It took us probably an hour and a half. I even exploited let my kid help.

Teaching him how to operate a spray nozzle was probably not one of my smarter moves.

Need another time waster? I've probably spent the better part of my last three days' surfing time on Not Always Right. Wow - people are crazy.

Today I had this conversation with Fashionista:

Her: "Anything new?"

Me: "Not really. You?"

Her: "No, not really."

Conclusion: We're both boring as hell and the ride to see No Doubt is going to be a silent one.

Okay, Random Tuesday Thoughts just aren't the same on a Sunday. I'm officially calling Time of Death on this one.

But it's Tuesday for YOU! (Well, probably. If you're playing by the rules. Not naming any names. JULIE.) So get all randomy and hook up with Mr. Linky! Mwah, dahlings! I'll see you when I return!

I want to go to the ranch! Blog party at Keely's mamas house? :)

[Jaime]

so that's why my line spacing is constantly screwed up on my posts. thanks for solving that mystery for me...it was driving me crazy!

[Raven]

Internet Explorer sucks donkey dick, and I refuse to use it unless I have a gun to my head. When I discovered Firefox I was in heaven, it was like I found my soul mate!

I hate watering plants, I have to do it for my mom too when they go out of town and it sucks. They don't have 20 acres though, thank Dog.

Hope you had fun at the No Doubt concert, they're great!

[Kekibird]

Jealous about No Doubt! Saw them in 2003 and LOVED IT!

IE sucks ass. 'nuff said.

[Cathy]

Love it! This was my very first Random Thoughts Tuesday....it will not be my last!

[Bobby G]

Enjoy theat boring car ride love!

[PJ Mullen]

I love 'Not Always Right'...I have to make sure I'm not drinking anything when I read it, otherwise it will end up all over my laptop. Vista is slow enough as it is. Don't need to add Fresca to the mix.

[shortmama]

Hope you had a great time at the concert!

[Ms. Salti]

Hope you had fun at the concert! I hate watering my mom's plants... and we only have one patio full of them. I'd run screaming if I had to water more than that.

[Chrissy]

I am a firefox girl myself..can't stand IE!

[Krystal]

Dont let my hubs know your parents have land - he wants us to move to the most remote place in the country just to get away from people- I need people, can't live in the woods!

[Momma Trish]

I love "Not Always Right". It never fails to make me laugh!

[CDB]

No Doubt! Impressive. I'm impressed. You are NOT as old as you think you are. (But the hearing thing isn't doing ya any favors.)

I remembered to link up this week! Yay for me. (My issue is memory. Clearly.)

[Kristen]

Who care if you didn't say one word to each other...you went to No Doubt! So jealous!!!

[WhisperingWriter]

I have Internet Explorer and I'm thinking about dumping it. It's been ticking me off.

[Brandy]

That was freaking hilarious!! Loved the post, and yeah I don't use IE either .. it sucks!!

i am SO disgustingly behind in the times re: IE and Firefox.

*hang head in shame*

i wonder if that's why my blog always messes up.

because i KNOW for sure it isn't me.

andy:)

[Frogs in my formula]

I was going to write the same exact thing as Kat.

I'm sure you had a lot to talk about on the ride home though??

[ModernMommy]

Hope your having fun at No Doubt! Or did have fun. Not sure if you went tonight or last night. I didn't even know they were touring again. Anyhow, happy RTT!

[Meli]

I have the exact same conversation that you had with Fashionista with my husband every evening.

[Jenn]

Thanks for giving me something to write about I was having constipated brain syndrome.

IE still exists? Thank God for Mac.

[DysFUNctional Mom]

I usually blog from work (shhh!!) and Firefox isn't available. I SO hate what IE does to my spacing! It's evil.

[D]

Borrowed this one.

[Blogging Mama Andrea]

I'm here. Better late than never right?
