What is the world coming to? I really need this vacation: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 4:37AM 
This is where I usually write my witty Tuesday intro, but I'm feeling kind ofOH HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THAT??
What? You missed it?
Well, you blinked and missed the witty Tuesday intro, too. So we're just going to launch right in.
I bought a skirt today. I have no idea why. I'm not a skirt person. I don't like to show my legs, I don't feel comfortable in skirts, someone might mistake me for a GIRL. But, every so often, I am suddenly enamoured of the thought of being a "skirt person". Even though I know I'll probably only wear it once, and then shove it to the back of the closet, and literally have to dust it off when I need to go to the wedding of someone I don't know or out for dinner 2 weeks after giving birth when I'm unable to fit into anything resembling actual pants.
Plus, it was seven dollars. SEVEN DOLLARS. It would be a crime not to buy it.
Check back next week. I'll be hosting a giveaway for a skirt.
No, not really. Next week I'm on vacation. We're heading out to the land of milk and honey and Captain Dumbass. For a whole week! I know, I totally don't deserve it. Especially since I'm far too lazy to prepare posts in advance to entertain y'all, and I called in some favours. You don't need to know details, but let's just say it will still be entertaining and Jenni gets to keep her kneecaps, after all.
I think I gave the guest bloggers a theme, but I may have been drinking at the time. So if nudity offends you, maybe you should take a vacation too.
Paper towel. Maple syrup.
What? I need to get groceries. And no, that isn't some bizarre Canadian reference. I had waffles for dinner and used up all the damn syrup, okay?
I haven't heard a peep out of the alleged Firefly MMO in development but now there's this? JUST FUCKING KILL ME NOW.
My thoughts are really short today.
Have you entered my book giveaway yet? What, you think you know everything about parenting or something?
Really? Can you clue me in? Because my kid is a fucking savage.
I AM OUT OF WINE HOW IN THE HELL COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED? Seriously, who's in charge here??
Well this is clearly an emergency, so I have to go. Make yourself at home. Grab that button there. Entertain everyone else with your own random thoughts, and make sure you say hi to Mr. Linky!

Have had a tough week in which the word "sorry" has featured a lot in its many forms!

Oh, Oldest Son is up in arms over the Twilight MMO. I think he said something about gouging his own eyes out with his limited edition Star Trek titanium spork.
My random thoughts are ALWAYS short.
My kids are heathens, not savages LOL.
I'm not a skirt person either but I own like six of them and some of them date back to high school. I'm hoping to keep the dream alive and save them in case I one day become a skirt person.
So you're seeing the Captain? And it's naked week? That could get awkward. Looking forward to the nekedness.

Looking forward to the skirt giveaway!
I'm definitely a jeans person. Both my girls are girly girls, and HAVE to wear a skirt or a dress every day. I just don't understand where they get it from!
I love skirts. I'll take it.
With the video game you are so screwed.
Skip the maple syrup GET more wine!
Oh crap, I just realized I've had the comment box open for an hour and hadn't commented yet! OK, I'm awake! ;)
Wait...did I miss the intro? ;)
SEVEN DOLLARS definitely would have been a crime not to buy it. I would have. And would have it to dust off in the back of the closet later, too.
You're vacationing at Captain Dumbass's next week? How'd you score that? :)
I've got a closet full of $7 skirts. They all have their tags on them too.
It's the thrill of the hunt and the skirts are the trophies.
Is it bad if I want to join you on vacation even though I just got back from one or just lazy?
Ooooo,if you're not-a-skirt-person, you should definitely try being not-a-sun-dress-person, too. The two are so closely related. I'm a sun dress person...they assist in keeping the sweat at bay here in Hell's Hotter Brother's House...Texas.
Honestly, I found the lack of wine in your house to be far more alarming than the lack of food. Quick get out there and buy some wine. Then 'ordering in' or 'ordering take-out' just feels better.
Oh, you'll be missed during your vacation. Hope it worth all the prep that vacations always require...they normally are worth it and then some!
Virgin RTT poster here. Thanks for letting me play along!
Just so I'm not a shitty friend, what's my day and can I blog baked and talk blow jobs?
My wife has half a closet of $7 something or others...hmm...maybe I need to do a giveaway on my blog!
I'm not a skirt person either - your giveaway comment made me laugh.
I hate skirts. I have weird knees...knees are weird in general...but mine are weirder than most. Won't wear shorts either.
Happy RTT and enjoy your vaca!
I frequently force myself to be a skirt person. I look weird in a suit jacket, so I figure I need to do something to dress up the whole work situation...
Your out of Maple Syrup and Wine? Not even the Aunt Jamima and Boons Farms that you keep "just in case"? Krappe. Fix that, woman? How are people in your house not running around screaming and tearing at the curtains?
I'm not a skirt person either. The last time I was tempted to buy one my husband was with me. He was all "Why the hell do you want to buy that. You never wear skirts." Even though he was right, it totally pissed me off, but I didn't buy it. Have an awesome vacation!
I love skirts, but they aren't to practical for someone who works out of her bed. Have a great vacation! I expect to hear all about it.
Enjoy your vacay. My only suggestion is bring wine along as is makes for an even better time!
And while you are visiting Captain Dumbass, be sure to check out all his winnings from Amy @ Bitchin' Wives Club: http://bitchinwivesclub.blogspot.com/2009/08/we-have-winner-for-kodak-zi6.html. Wah! I am so jealous!
.......er, you get to escape for a week??? Lucky you!
You're the second person to be 'out of wine' in less than 12 hours. You obviously have your priorities all screwed up. If I get even close to running out of beer, I panic, take the kids to the neighbors and get to the nearest liquor store.
Me and skirts don't mix - I blame it on my height, my husband blames it on my ass....oh well
I'm not seeing Mr. Linky? And I can't get your html to work either, what the heck?
Anyway, great randomness!
MY KID IS A SAVAGE! Also, make sure you put a little vodka and Kaluha in the milk. It taste better that way.
And I'm totally thrilled to keep my kneecaps. I, like, use them everyday and stuff.
