Ten on Tuesday

I'm totally copying my friend Susie today... ten random thoughts.

  1. My index finger is very sore from spray painting. I painted three chairs for the kitchen and recovered the seats.
  2. I bought grapes at Costco yesterday, but they're mushy. Bummer.
  3. Gracie has learned to sit at the threshold to the kitchen while I mop. She watches, but she doesn't come in. Good dog.
  4. S. has taken to wearing glitter. Lots of glitter. On her eyelids. In her hair. On her cheekbones. I'm picking my battles and letting this one slide.
  5. Tuesday is dumb mail day. Pizza coupons, silly flyers for businesses I'll never patronize and junk. I hate Tuesday mail.
  6. Washed my windows outside and power washed the outside of the house last night. Everything seems a little brighter today. (You would not believe how filthy my screens were...)
  7. Couldn't the fall shows just go ahead and start up now? I'm dying for new seasons of Survivor and Grey's Anatomy.
  8. There has been so much road construction around my house this summer. I can't get anywhere without having to go around construction. The road closest to my house is going to be done at the end of the week, I think. I hope. My house shakes on and off all day as the big equipment does its thing. I don't like that, having been in a few too many earthquakes during my California days. It will be good when they're done. Then I can go to the grocery store that's just up the street without having to detour blocks and blocks out of the way...
  9. Took the kids to the library today. I'm amazed at the great DVD collection they have. I brought home several newly released movies. It's always good to save a buck - free movies are great!
  10. It's windy and a bit stormy today - and it's supposed to drop to a high of only 65 degrees tomorrow... could it be that fall is really almost here?
  11. Ha! I fooled ya! I knew I was supposed to stop at ten.

    love library DVD's.
    Our library lets us put them on 'hold' so when they are returned you can get them.
    "Road Construction Ahead" has the longest wait as every family of a boy in this area NEEDS that video! ;) :)

    I enjoy your random thoughts, Cathy. Especially to the likes of Survivor and Grey's Anatomy... two more weeks! Aren't they both on the same night now, too??!

    We are anxiously awaiting survivor, too! :)

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
