Maybe if I wish really hard and click my heels together someone will bring me something limey and minty: Random Tuesday Thoughts
Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at 1:55AM 
Okay, so the post before this Random Tuesday post was another Random Tuesday post. So sue me. Other people do it.
The inspiration, she is lacking.
Anyway. Not sure what a Random Tuesday is? It's like any other Tuesday, except that you get to brain-dump all your little wayward thoughts and call it a post. It would be a thing of beauty, if it didn't have such an ugly button.
It's a long weekend here in Canada. The May long weekend is traditionally when people make incredibly optimistic plans to do things outdoors, like go camping or plant their gardens, and then without fail, Mother Nature shits a typhoon on us. It's Murphy's Law or something.
But I took a day off work and planted my garden on Friday, when it was still sunny. Take that, Murphy, you fat bastard!
Okay, I have no idea if Murphy was a fat bastard or not. It just seems like he should be, somehow, you know? So then I had to look it up. Turns out he was neither, he was an aerospace engineer.
Like you need an engineering degree to figure out that things will always go wrong.
My garden is obliging me by already producing mint for mojitos. In fact, I got all jazzed about having a mojito yesterday, got all the ingredients, and picked the mint, only to realize that very young mint leaves...are not very good. Or possibly it was actually a weed.
At any rate, I still really want a mojito.
World's oldest sex toy. (Totally unrelated to mojitos. Not sure they had mojitos back then. If they did, they were probably lukewarm.)
For date night hubby and I went to go see How To Train Your Dragon. It was cute. When we were child-free, we used to go see kids movies all the time, without feeling guilty or judged. Now that we actually HAVE a kid, I felt like people were staring at us the whole time wondering why we didn't have any spawn with us.
Well, the other 4 people in the theatre, anyway.
Do you ever wish you could Photoshop real life? (I'd probably use the "stretch" tool on my legs and the "fisheye" on my chest. Then I'd copy & paste some friends.)
The other day Pat the Neighbourhood
GossipInformation Hub said to me, "I've been meaning to tell you this, but ever since that big wind storm, that second pine on your property is leaning way to the left. I can see it from my study. I bet it cracked halfway up or something, you should get a tree guy to look at it, because if it came down on the house it could kill you!"Before I could muster up enough sarcasm to thank her for this tidbit (that windstorm was a MONTH ago, Pat, how long were you planning to sit on that information?), she added thoughtfully, "Or if it went the other way, Max & Gertie might sue you."
Home ownership is an endless buffet of possibilities.
You know what else is a buffet of possibilities? Random Tuesday Thoughts.
(Oh, my god, that was the WORST SEGUE EVER. I blame the lack of mojitos.)
So, random up! Do your thing, link up, and be sure to do a few stops around the Random Tuesday Crew. They're the cats pajamas.

I loved the segue actually, LOL! Sadly, the link for the world's oldest sex toy isn't working, it said the article doesn't exist...or is it just really THAT old and non-existent now?
Great RTT post, bad neighbor.
Have a great day Keely!

I have to say homeownership is so not what it's cracked up to be. It kinda takes the fun out living some days.
I so wish I can photoshop my real life I'd crop20lbs and stretch my legs to.
Gotta love neighbors like Pat, lol. My herb garden is blossoming with Basil, Cilantro and Chives but now I think I may need to add mint. I want a Mojito too.
For some strange reason I'm craving a Mojito this morning.
I've always thought of Murphy as a fat bastard, too.
I have absolutely wished I could Photoshop myself in real life. The changes I would make! ;)
I hope you have that mint in a container because that shit will take over your yard. Or maybe if you're lucky it will take over Max & Gertie's yard. Drinks and annoyance, that's a win win, my friend.
It used to be fun to go see kid's movies without kids, but now it's all we ever see. Sad to say they've lost some of their luster. Although,I am looking forward to Toy Story 3.
Mint or weeds? LOL!
I'm sorry, somehow I ended up linked in twice, once as Stacy and once as slmpetersen. I don't know if you can get rid of one, but the slmpetersen is right....My computer has some issues...So Sorry.
send Ants to the tree, they'll take care of it. :)
Mmmmm! I love Mojitos, only two months to go and then I have to plan around breast feeding - but still, at least I can!
I should plant a garden, but John needs to edge around the house before I get to it. Since he's been promising to do it for months and hasn't come near the weed whacker, I'll keep promising to plant the garden..
I didn't get to do random today. I wrote about erupting toilets. Also not pretty (like the button...). I like mojitos. The best one I ever had was in a Brazilian restaurant in New York. And I can never spell restaurant right the first time. Stupid au.
I'd Photoshop myself, too...if I wanted to be 12 feet tall.
Damn the whole weight/height proportional crap...
I would LOVE your mojito recipe! Please?
A sex toy that also lights fires? that's my kinda sex toy.
I'm a shitty neighbor, drink daiquiri's and I have lost all my mojo. I feel like everything I write is crap but I have nothing else to do so I just write crap. I figure I'll get my mojo back eventually.
I'm a bit skeptical about a sex toy "slash" fire lighter... Surely only one of those suggestions can be right. Right? A mojito sounds lovely. But if you've got tequila, you can use the limes to make homemade margaritas instead!
ahhh fresh bitter mojitos. LOL. I love that you may have made a drink w/weeds.
I hope you get big yummy mint leaves soon. ha!
Home ownership can be pretty crazy. That person sounds like a real ass.
Almost everything can be blamed on a lack of mojitos...or margaritas...or maybe just hard liquor in general.
MMMM Mojitos. Damn, it's too early to drink here. Well maybe later. Happy Random.
I just looked at our mint the other night & was like HOORRAAYY Mojitos!! I have enough to make them for days, my several mint plants have over run everything! =)
Growing your own mint for mojitos? Genius! There are so many good reasons to read your blog. These of which is solid, practical, Martha Stewaarty advice.
I've never had a mojito but it sounds yummy! Thanks for hosting the Randomness!
You'd better get that mint going because if the tree goes the wrong way you're going to need a lot of Mojitos to keep Max and Gertie from suing you. Think she went to their house first to let them know about the tree, just in case?
I have to say, I'd prefer sitting on my arse in front of the photoshop rather than doing my hair each morning. I'd be Marge Simpson one day, and Annie Lenox the next.
