Oh, wait, I DO know you - you're that guy with the clown tied up in his garage! (Random Tuesday Thoughts)

Long weekend? Yay! Long weekend, forgot it was Tuesday - Booo! Long weekend, followed by 4 long days at the office instead of the 4(ish) hours I'm used to? BOOO-URNS.
Anyway. It's Tuesday! You know what to do! And if you don't....well, my back still really hurts and I've had a couple of glasses of wine. Ask someone else. Surely ONE of these fine people won't leave you hanging.
After complaining (loudly) for several days about how much my back hurts, I wandered into the bathroom rubbing my eye while hubby was giving the kiddo a bath. "Ouch," I mumbled, reaching for the saline.
"Are you falling apart on me??" he demanded. In a tone that sounded distinctly like, "I have two years left on the warranty, for god's sake!"
Hmph. Surely there's at least THREE years left.
You know how you know you know someone, but you can't remember where you know them from originally, and they keep cropping up in your life in different contexts and you have this mental block about their name every time you see them, so you don't say anything, which makes you seem like a total asshole every single time because, obviously, you KNOW each other?
No? I'm the only one who can manage to be THAT socially inept? Fantastic.
Clowns are creepy. This guy is creepier.
Does anybody else Freecycle? Does anybody else grind their teeth when people fail to pick up their stuff, or offer an excuse or an apology? IT'S FREE, for fuck's sake. You don't even have to talk to me! Just pick it up, because the neighbours are starting to wonder.
One of the things that sucks about my dysfunctional back is that I can't sit and draw for more than, oh, five minutes. It sucks. I was kind of on a roll, there. I really did intend to enter the 'Draw 50 girls 50' contest. And I've asked Churchpunkmom and Onlyaman to come up with a new blog design for me, but it sort of hinges on me actually DRAWING something.
And that's about all I can sit still for this week, folks. Unless I medicate myself more heavily, in which case I'll be totally incoherent anyway.
(Okay, who said "what's new about that?"? I heard you, there in the back.)
So saddle up! There's no recourse! Go kill someone, signed Bad Horse! Git yer Random on, little cowpokes!

Hey, what's wrong with your blog design? I thought you just redid it? I like it? Enough questions? Shut up, you're drunk anyway.
Yes, I do that "I know you but I don't know from where or your damn name so I'm going to avoid eye contact" thing all the fucking time. With me, it's usually kid's parents who we've seen at Gymboree, swim class, the park, the mall, wherever and I can never remember if I hate them or their kid or if they're on the cool list so I play stupid.
Don't fall apart on us.
How dare you be in back pain and give your hubby a little extra work. My hubby wouldn't be able to handle the extra pressure either.
back pain sucks-hope you are better soon!
your changing your design? i associate this with you...yanno how you visit a blog over and over then one day the blog looks different and then you have to double check the EARL to make sure you typed in the right site...yea i dont like change much lol
OK so there was this guy who I kept seeing when we would take the girls bowling and I knew I knew him from somewhere and well he is really easy to remember because he looks like Ryan Stiles from Americas "Whos Line Is It Anyway". FInally figured it out that he works at the Commissary as a bagger. It seriously bugged me for like 3 months until I figured it out.
I feel for the people who have to work - long weekends are nice, but then you have to cram 5 days of work into 4.
Sorry your back is killing you - are you sure your hubby isn't doing something to make sure you can get 'fixed' before the warranty is up? ;)
Yep, been there on the know you know someone but can't remember thing... Usually I just pretend I remember them from whenever and hope I don't have to say their name. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. ;)
Why do you need a new blog design?
Hope your back feels better soon!
Happy RTT! If you have 5 minutes you might want to check out my blogoversary giveaway - there's something in there that might help out your back, and you actually are allowed to enter, even being from Canada and all... ;)
Yep, I run into people I can't place all the time! It was bad while we were in Georgia because those Southerners are just so nice they HAVE to come up and talk to you. So, I end up having a 10 minute conversation with someone and the whole time I'm trying to figure out who the heck they are and why I know them!
Back pain really sucks.
OMG! I think that clown guy is my neighbor. It really explains a lot!
You know what's sad? I would trade my long days at work to clean my house top to bottom EVERY DAY. And I would love it. Now, if the kid was at home, that would not be possible, but the mere mention of a day free with no one else to watch over and my Dyson at my side? Sigh..

homework is done, now to go read!
It took us a year to pay off the hospital bill for having Josh and Ryan came home and proudly announced "We officially own Josh now, so you can't return him" after the last payment was made.
i was a freecycle addict for a while. we got free moving boxes, got rid of our old siverwear and some other stuff. but people are weirdos so i stopped.

A new design? Crazy talk it must be the pain killers? it's fine! I read somewhere it's not a good idea to confuse your readers? or maybe it's just me that cant' seem to remember where I put all my blogs?
Sorry about that extra longdays work week, bummer.
I think I smell a skunk?
That guy who wants the clown? I'd totally love to do that here, we have a similar problem, the sheep would work better.
I know that feeling of knowing someone but not sure from where, I do give a smile now and then though... :D
You are right, that guy is creepier than a clown! Why do people like clowns anyway? they scare me... Except for Ronald McDonald... I like him.. LOL :D
I grind my teeth so much, my jaw hurts sometimes.
I so love your random Keely! Happy Tuesday! :)
I hope your back gets better soon. Life is so much harder when your back hurts!
That guy is creepy, but hilarious! I'd love to invite a mime over (not a clown though, they freak me out) and a guy in a panda suit, you know, some really weird stuff, just to mess with my neighbors! Maybe I'll dress up like a mime and go to the grocery store. lol Yes, I'm weird, I know.
Great random thoughts yet again.
Have a great day,
Raven
"Emails from Crazy People" just freaking kills me. OMG! It scares the beejeebees out of me to even THINK there are people in this world ou there LIKE THIS! Weird-o-rama!
And yet, I love that site. It's a hoot every time I stop in LOL!
Have a Tuesday free of back-pain dammit!
back pain sucks :-(
but... I love your current blog design....
"It's free for fucks sake"
Made. My. Morning.
That guy is creepy!! And back pain is a drag! Would a nice massage work? I get them when I start gettig back issues... or even when I don't have an issue! LOL
Back pain is totally the worst and you just kind of have to wait for it all to work itself out. I hope it gets better soon.
Mr. B is always telling me he's in need of trading me in for a newer model. Jackass.
the boyfriend tells me all the time i have until i'm 35, then he's trading me in.
but i asked him if new boobs would buy me a few extra years, so i think i'll be okay.
andy:)
I used to Freecycle, until I kept getting group emails from the moderators bitching and complaining about EVERYTHING and NOTHING and it made me feel like I was back in grade school and I was no longer allowed to eat glue or flick my boogers at the back of Jimmy's head. Wait...where was i?
Oh no I hope you back starts feeling better soon! I hate it when my back hurts.
Sorry to hear about your back pain, That is the worst! I have to take out a second mortgage to pay for my chiropractor and Massage therapist every year!! As for the clown guy.....ewwww.
