My mind is elsewhere, but it has yet to send a postcard so I'm not sure where: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 4:48AM 
Know what you're doing? Why you're here? No?
Me neither.
I mean, in general. But I know what Tuesday means, and that's randomness. So spew a random post, use the fugly purple button (or don't...it really IS very ugly) and link up!
My parents got us passes to the Science Centre for Christmas, so I dragged the family over today only to discover that they're closed on Mondays during the lame winter months.
I don't know who was more disappointed, the kid or me.
What? That place is fun.
This morning on CBC I heard one of the DJs talking about New Years resolutions and how nobody ever keeps them for the whole year, so he had decided to make 26 two-week resolutions. He'd just finished the first (lose weight) and done poorly, so he was moving on to his second, which was a much more achievable "learn to cook 4 vegetarian entrees".
Sheer. Brilliance.
My resolution for this fortnight? "Watch Ice Age 423 times."
Stern, but fair, I think.
Star Wars burlesque. You're welcome, guys.
By survey, the most annoying song ever created. Also by survey, what everybody is looking for in a song. Survey says: the one people 'want' is FAR more annoying than the one that's supposed to be annoying.
My boss, fearful that I'm going to get knocked up and abandon him again, has sort of semi-replaced me already. I'm divided about this turn of events. On one hand, I resent being replaced before I'm even gone (or scheduled to be gone). On the other hand, carte blanche to start applying elsewhere!
My kid just overturned the dog dish full of water. I called him a putz. Who's in the wrong here?
Well, that's about it for me. I'm posting early because I have a dinner date with FoN and Politika. Politika visits about once ever 6 months for business, and debauchery usually ensues.I love Boooooom.com. Though it took me a while to figure out how many Os were in the url. Also, I read about it in the newspaper. That seems wrong, somehow.
Okay, well, we get about as debauched as a person can get when they're 35 with kids and they have to work the next morning.
So I'm going to go do that. You write a random post and I'll see ya then, ok?

You are just too funny. I am new around here but I am totally loving your blog and I do love a good random so I though that I would play along.
Also, if there is standing water anywhere, my kids will find it and knock it over. I think its in their DNA.
calling your kid a putz is not bad! My mother's pet name for me was "Little asshole" haha!
Don't you love it when employers try to get into your personal life?
If X is anything like my kids, it was not an accident. We just started being allowed to leave the dog's water bowl down for the first time in three years and still there's about a 20% pour factor.
Dunno if I get Booooooooooooooom. It might be that it's early and I just got jolted awake.
Hope the night out was fun.
If it has liquid in it, rest assured the kids will knock it over.
We keep the water bowls on the patio, otherwise the youngest kid would wash his hands in them all day.
I sometimes call them ding-dongs when they've done something idiotic, but it's still better than buttwipe.
The most debauched I get is saying the F word in public.
The link for the most annoying song ever gives me an error message. But what everyone is looking for in a song was bad enough thanks.
I love you no matter what you are talking about.
We called our son (three yrs old) Turkey for two years when he was doing something silly. Then this year at Christmas we were all talking and someone said I can't wait to eat Turkey. Our son ran upstairs screaming and crying. He takes things a bit too literal lol
I like the two week resolutions. That is about how long my attention span is.
I'm feeling the same as you at the moment - head is all over the place and no matter what I do, I just can't get out of the 'rut' - it's annoying the crap out of me!
OK, my thought went right out the window when I read JP's comment... ROTFLMAO! Poor little Turkey! ;)
Two-week resolutions are brilliant...I think the only downside is there are 26 of them. That's a long list of things that most likely won't get accomplished. ;)
That is rather tacky of your boss to semi-replace you 'just in case'.
I'll be looking forward to reading about all the debauchery that may or may not have occurred last night. :)
I like the idea of 2 week resolutions. I think I could make it without getting distracted (unless it involved exercise).
I too like that two week resolution idea!! May be starting a trend here! LOL! I can't believe your boss is semi-replacing you already? That really sucks. He so deserves you going elsewhere for sure!!!

I'll never be able to look at C3PO the same ever again thanks to the Star Wars Burlesque. Ditto for Darth Vader.
2 week resolutions? Love that idea. I'm still doing pretty good on mine but at least now I have something to fall back on.
We're finally beyond the dog bowl dumping...thank goodness. Both my kids regularly dumped the water AND ate dog food. So far, both seem fine.
I like the idea of two week resolutions so you can't keep putting them off.
I don't know why we can't call kids putzes if they are actually acting like putzes. I MEAN REALLY. Sometimes they just are.
I hope "Putz" is not a bad thing. That's what I call my husband.
Two week resolution sounds brilliant!
I used the fugly button this week! I hope you had a great night out!
Yes the two week resolution is sheer brilliance. Watching Ice Age 423 times is a bit much however. I'd keep it to 422. Much easier.
2 week resolutions, brilliant! Week 1: Stop calling kids "ding dongs"...
M son is on his way to the Franklin Institute in Philly (which rocks in the science world) and I'm so damn jealous I can't go. I'm fairly certain the 3 yr old could survive for a few hours alone...
LOL Putz? Haven't heard that in along time! Happy RTT!!
Will the dog atleast lick up the mess? what is it with kids and water? mine? flooded a basement.
As for the most annoying song, I was a feared of clicking? tell me it wasn't that Firefly song? That totally gets me in a bad mood.
Putz? that's pretty good once you get to 3 boys it's harder to get unique and you start calling them all the same thing. It might or might not be friendly.
As for the job? isn't that unethical?
Star Wars burlesque. I'm flying to Canada to lick your face.
Who's in the wrong? Let the dog decide!
