Yes, my week sucked, but it could be worse. I could be on the Celebrity Apprentice (Random Tuesday Thoughts)
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 5:56AM 
I don't really feel like a chatty intro today. So I'm just going to launch into random. Get your button, do your thing. And...GO.
Did anybody else's Firefox offer to pretty itself up for you? Mine is now sporting a picture of a retro flapper girl. I feel like maybe my web browser is trying too hard.
Hubby and I had another date night tonight, we used up some gift cards we had to a swanky restaurant that's in the middle of the park. We got all dolled up, got a sitter, ate way too much and had some wine, and then came home less than two hours later and immediately got into our pajamas. Now I'm blogging and he's watching wrestling. Possibly one or both of us is farting. It was kind of like playing grown-up, there, for a little bit.
Last week? Sucked. My kid made a break for it at daycare, spent Friday puking, and burnt himself on the stove Sunday. I didn't get the job I interviewed for (I didn't really want it anyway, but that's not the fucking point) and the job I do have sucked with its regular force.
So I thought I'd get things off on the right foot this week with a dentists appointment this morning.
I know, I'm concerned about my IQ as well.
I think I hate getting my teeth cleaned more than the actual check up. After I jolted out of the chair for the 4th or 5th time, the dental hygienist remarked without much sympathy, "Oh, they're all very sensitive today, aren't they?"
Well, yes, if you're jabbing them with a pointy metal instrument, they're sensitive. Though I'm not sure that just applies to TODAY you evil bitch.
I almost never watch TV, let alone reality TV, but last night I found myself enthralled with the season premier of Celebrity Apprentice. I think it was because I was watching it in HD. Bret Michaels, Cyndi Lauper, and Sharon Osbourne? That is a LOT of facial crevices. I felt a bit discombobulated. Like I might fall in.
In the wrong end of town and lacking a dollar coin for the cart at Superstore, against my better moral judgement today I ventured into the new Super Wal Mart for groceries. Okay, now THAT was discombobulating. At one point I texted hubby: "Avocados are eleven cents each and there are zombies working here. I'm going to hell, aren't I?"
He assures me I have to spend more than $250 in a trip before they punch my ticket to the infernal realm, but I'm not convinced.
I'm pretty sure I saw this lady there. She winked at me and handed me an avocado.
I'm starting to feel bad for John Cusack. Hot Tub Time Machine, really? Really? If you need money, man, all you have to do is ask.
(I still love ya though. Call me.)
On that note - that desperate, love-hate kind of note - I'm out. Random up, kids.

See I actually thought that Hot Tub movie looked kinda funny (and I'm not even a Cusack fan). Maybe I've been eaten by zombies.
I would look at Firefox but everytime I do my computer flies into the blue screen of death. I. Love. Windows. Vista.
Happy RTT!
Whoa! Number 4! I never get in that early!
I'm with BMA - I thought the Hot Tub movie looked kinda funny...maybe because John Cusack is in it. :)
Sorry about the series of unfortunate events over the weekend - here's hoping this week is much better! :)
Seriously, I'd rather get a pap smear, while getting a rectal exam, than go to the dentist. Yes, dentures are in my future.
We tried to do date night on Friday but daughter started puking at 4. Date night was canceled.
I can't remember the last time I went to the dentist. Shhh. don't tell.
Happy RTT~
"Woman's Horn Stuns Family"...Yeah, I bet.
I thought the same thing when I saw the previews for Hot Tub Time Machine, just the title made it seem like someone dropped the ball.
I don't think anyone can fault you for giving in to 11 cent avocados.
I found myself into Celebrity Apprentice also. My hubby was like "Who in the hell is that....who is that?" He didn't know who most of them were. Oh, and I totally feel your pain about the dentist. Sometimes I think they forget what it feels like to sit in that chair.
You just described in perfect detail the WalMart I shop at. And that woman with the avocado? I think it might have been me.
I thought the exact same thng about John Cusack's latest effort, which is why I will see it. He needs the money. :-)
I actually like going to the dentist but I'm very odd! And I completely agree about John Cusack. Dude obviously does need the money because there would be no rational thought of his that said, "this is gonna be a great movie."
The 6 yr old put Totoro on my firefox
A pretty good definition of hell - being forced to watch faux-celebrity TV while having your teeth cleaned....in a Wallmart.
Oh, I love John Cusak! I have yet to hear of this movie. Probably because I live in Europe where everything socially relevant is weeks or months behind, thus leaving me looking like a dork on FB.
Shit. I'm going to NY AGAIN and the first thing my friend told me was that I need to go see The Hot Tub Time Machine with him. I don't even know what it is yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be horrible but it has Horsedick.Mpeg from Miss March in it, so I'm left with no choice.
I'm sorry to say that eternal damnation is a lot less expensive. Especially if you shop at WalMart. I'll pray for you.
I switched to Google Chrome and ditched Firefox when I realized Facebook games loaded much faster on it.. :D
Date night for me and hubby is a dream I am hoping to fulfill in the near future..
I don't like going to the dentist, I only go if absolutely necessary, otherwise, bleh. :P
I vow never to click on any of your links! :D Seriously, where do you get these things? Freaky creepy old woman.. and does she have to be eating what looks like a medium rare piece of chicken leg?! Creeped me out like hell!
Anyhoo, wow, tough week. I hope this week goes better!
Happy RTT! :)
Yeah, John Cusack could video himself diving into a pool of Cool Whip and I'd go see it.
Why'd you have to mention the dentist? I have an appointment on Monday that I've delayed around 5 times (I had a good excuse for the first 2 or 3, now I'm just stalling).
Wow this is really great random. I can't play today because I have to cuss someone out on my blog for sending an anonymous letter to my job telling me that I use foul language on my blog. I guess I should get to writing it.
I always love your randoms! They brighten my day. I know, that's sad, but it's true!
Okay, that Chinese horn lady?Seriously disturbing. Ewwwww. Sorry you didn't get the job that you didn't really want.
Ah ... I can relate. Last week was so busy I can hardly remember it and this week promises more of the same. I noticed the options with the latest Firefox update but haven't had time to check it out and probably never will. I'm headed for the dentist this afternoon (after my computer class this morning) because I lost a filling over the weekend and I'm sure he'll want me to stay and let the gal clean MY teeth too ... though I'm not looking forward to any of it. I'm listening to discussion about earthquake preparedness on the TV ... apparently a 4.4 magnitude quake happened this morning just after 4am, centered about 30 miles from me but it doesn't seem to have done much damage. Hope it's not a precursor to something larger on the way.
Hugs and blessings,
Bummer about the job, I do hope the next day is better. That horn is a bit out there isn't it?
They hired someone with lots of admin experience, she could start full-time immediately and she's First Nations. There was no way you were going to get that job.
My wife and I went to a suitcase show at the art school my wife used to attend (That's where someone shows their jewelry). We also got all dolled up and the receptionist said it looks like date night. I had to take her out for dinner to make it official.
Happy RTT!
ewww that horn was scary! sorry you didn't get the job. I know that sucks.
Oh man, your randoms make me smile so much. I once kicks a Dentist in the shin while I was getting a cleaning. just thinking about them makes my skin crawl.
