More bullet points
Ah–St. Patty’s Day. Note to self to find out exactly who this Saint was. I have an idea but really should know, considering I joined the Catholic church last year. Yes, I know, strange timing when most are leaving the church, but honestly I have this fascination with Mary, and I love all the tradition in the church.
Here we go:
*Must wear green today. Don’t need anyone pinching me.
* Finished Tami Hoag’s “The Alibi Man” last night–EXCELLENT! I started in on M.J. Rose’s The Reincarnationist. Have given up on the Oprah book–apparently my soul is not quite ready for enlightenment of that caliber.
*I have now officially watched Achmed with the boys and have taken up saying, “Silence! I will kill you.” I don’t think my husband is happy about this. But I have to admit, it’s hysterical and I even found myself saying it to myself in the shower last week, and cracking up–sure sign that I am under stress, I suppose.
*I clean house by shoving things in closets hoping no one will notice. Did this on Saturday afternoon. This is not always a good thing, as now I can’t find jack around here. But the house itself does look clean.
*Went to a RWA meeting Sat.morning and was reminded of how much i still have to learn. It was a great and funny meeting. I loved the speaker–Christie Craig. She was fun, informative and hysterical.
*Had a group of first grade moms over on Sat. night. We talked about parallel universes, law of attraction, women and cultures. It was very enlightening, UNTIL, one mom suggested we go sing karaoke (sp?) at the dive down the street. Most of us hmmd and hawed until this mom started using the “Are you too old?” line on us. That worked. But check this out–we go in to the dive, and everyone is soooo young. This one kid comes up to us, and says to my one friend, “You must be forty, and then to my other friend, “And you must be her mom.” Yes–this young man obviously had no manners, and was a wee bit trashed. Then he looked at me and asked my age. Of course, I told him that his mother did not do a very good job at teaching him about women or on his manners. He then guessed me at six years older than I am and added, ‘You have kids, right. they age you though, I would think.” At that point, we left and headed for Tijuana for Botox injections–just kidding, but it did cross our minds briefly. Before leaving, my gutsy friend asked him if he’d ever had sex with a 40 year old. Of course then his eyes lit up and he said that no he hadn’t but would like to. She told him that would likely never happen and certainly not with any of us. It was the most random experience I think I have ever had, and my friends and I are still laughing about it. One e-mailed me and said, “That had to have been that parallel life we were talking about.” I personally think it was a flipping nightmare. But hey, it gave me a bullet point with pizazz this morning.
All right–give me yours. All of you had me cracking up so hard last week with your bullet points that I need my fix this week.
Have a good one!
Cheers,
Michele
