    The over-use of brackets will lead to the downfall of western civilization: Random Tuesday Thoughts

    randomtuesday

    It's Tuesday! Know what that means? That tomorrow is Wednesday!

    (Hey, some of us call it Hump Day for a reason, y'know.)

    ...Okay, fine, that's not ONLY what it means. It also means it's time to get your random thoughts in a row, and post em up where everybody can see. It's like mental exhibitionism! Ready? Flash us!


    I started my new 2 Week Resolution on Friday, which is to eat my 7-10 servings of veg a day and drink my 8 glasses of water. So far, it's going pretty well.

    (Wine counts as a fruit, right?)


    Saturday was my only failure. We had to go to hubby's small hometown for a funeral, and they're good old-fashioned Ukranian stock there. The local vegetable is a perogy. Fruit comes in the form of those little colored marshmallows floating in Jello.

    I'm thinking of becoming a translator. I've got a great ear for languages. It took me mere seconds to translate "Boo nose!" from toddlerese into English: "I just shoved blue Play Doh up my nose when you weren't looking!"

    In addition to the Dreambox, my Mom also brought me this fridge magnet from their trip to Arizona:

    (She insisted if I were going to blog this, that I mention that it was my choice to receive this magnet. It was. My other option was a magnet that said, "Drinks Well With Others.")

    (I think she may be on to me.)


    Everybody have a good Valentine's Day? We don't really feel any pressure to celebrate it around here, but hubby did bring me some Laura Secord chocolates. I thanked him for contributing to the cause - that is, getting my ass its own zip code.

    (I'm thinking of starting a Facebook group.)

    Did anybody get anything unique for Valentine's? Like, say, a computer mouse shaped like a vagina?

    My favorite recent google search is a toss-up between "how to neutralize the odor of Febreze" (uh...don't use it in the first place?) and "I think this is a mouse turd on my mango". Who stops to search these things?

    I mean, dude, if it's a mouse turd, just flick it off. Otherwise it's probably a sprinkle or something.


    Anyway. There are Laura Secord chocolates healthy, healthy vegetables calling my name. MOAR FIBRE.

    Random up, you guys.

    I would have totally taken BOTH magnets, but that probably wasn't an option eh?

    I didn't make any New Years resolutions - but I do probably need to post more often. I didn't get anything for Valentine's Day - but I didn't give anything either. Perhaps that was for the best. Happy (Fat) Tuesday!

    Good Valentines Day. I got a gift certificate for a massage. Yay. Now I have to find time to schedule the appointment. Seeing as how I didn't have time to mascara on this morning it may be an issue.

    Wine is totally a fruit

    Actually, I could probably help you out a bit here too Keely...I consider chocolate to be a vegetable, I mean HELLO, it IS a bean, right? So I'd say just do about 4 servings of wine and 4 of chocolate each day and you're one up on things.

    I think I just commented on an ancient post from march... ooooops... hahahaha shows how F'd up I mean random I am... lol

    Wine is a fruit and I'll argue anyone to the ground that disagrees.

    I would taken the drink well with others magnet. It's a librarian thing.

    That mouse (shaking head) where do you find these things?

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichele

    Love the magnet! And I'm in agreement with everyone else: wine is totally a fruit!

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCole

    Wines constantly-- love it! I need one of those. Only mine would have a row of cute little dogs and it would say "Bitches Constantly." Oddly enough, I think the other one would work, too: Bitches Well With Others. Why, that's where I do my best bitching!!

    I bet you thought I wasn't going to say anything about that bit you slipped in about the mouse..... Well, you're right.

    xoxo Glad to be back! I haven't played in awhile. :)

    If there is mouse turd on your mango, less Googling, more tossing in the trash, hello, are people completely incapable?

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnne

    I would take either magnet. Wine is not only a fruit but you can count it towards yous 8 glasses of water a day too. Bonus. I got the riser for my wii balance board for V-day. I asked for it but it still feels like getting a vacuum. Hubster was smart enough to make it a gift from the kids.

    I drink well with others, but really, really poorly alone.

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJenni

    Ha ha, KIDDING! I drink well alone too.

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJenni

    I think wine should count as both water AND fruit.

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCaptain Dumbass

    Holy sh*t! I was finally random! But not as random as you. You are the queen. And honey, that Jello? Puh-lease, you are preaching to the choir. I live in Utah. We OWN the jello market. Yes, it's a vegetable. With floating marshmallows and if you're lucky, shredded carrots.

    People google searching have way too much time on their hands! They could be eating a vegetable or something! Love therandom and love your magnet choice!

    I bought my wife a pink snuggy for Valentines. It works surprisingly well. :)

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFiggy

    I need that magnet for my girls LOL

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commentershopannies

    What would some people do without Google? Would they even be able to make a decision on their own?

    My husband got rid of the nasty virus that infected my laptop. That was my Valentine present. I'll take it. I was really getting some severe withdrawals.

    The best part about Valentine's Day is that it only lasts 24 hours. The worst is the potential fight that might stem from it cal last a week. :)

    wine is definitely part of the four food groups...

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenter♥Georgie♥

    Of course wine counts as fruit. Mouse turd counts as protein.
    And getting laid counts as a valentine's gift.

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCristin

    My husband gave me a photo of that vagina-shaped mouse in my valentine's day card, which had a very cute chipmunk sitting on an apple on the front ... with the stem sticking up between its legs.

    He's freaking hilarious.

    My post is up.

    February 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterlynn @ human, being

    I love that magnet! :D

    Seriously? someone really searched for "I think this is a mouse turd on my mango"? LOL.

    Have a happy Tuesday Keely! :D
