• Nobody will EVER be able to hear the song “Everybody’s Workin’ For The Weekend” by Loverboy again without seeing Chris Farley doing his Chip n’ Dales thing.     He single handedly ruined that one for Loverboy…although I’d much prefer to picture good ol’ Farley than the dudes from Loverboy.

• Lonnie’s pulling an all-nighter tonight, so I’m going to do my best to stay up, too. I feel too guilty sleeping while he’s working all night. He doesn’t expect me to stay up - its’ just how I am.

• I’m sucking down coffee like it’s going out of style. Hopefully I’ll help.

• I love my new desktop. I LOVED my last one, so I was sad to see it go, but now that I’m doing this whole Desktop Thursday thing, I have to change it weekly. I normally would, anyway….unless I have one I really adore like last week’s. That’s okay. It’ll make the rounds again sometime in the future.

• I’m using OneNote to compose this again.  :swoon:

• I keep applying clear coat to my French tips. I’m afraid all the clicking on my keyboard will wear the white down. So I apply like two coats of clear coat per day. Better safe than sorry…although I only paid $3.57 for them at Sally Beauty Supply AKA my new home away from home.

• I love you, Sarah! xoxox

• Just had to say that. She’s not been online too much lately and I miss her lots. For those of you who don’t already know, we have declared that we’re each other’s wives. Yes, that’s right. We’re cyber married. If it’s good enough for these prepubescent little twits on MySpace, it’s good enough for us.    :P

• Yes, Lonnie is aware of the marriage to Sarah. He just rolls his eyes at it.    :lol:    Let him laugh…whatever. GOSH!

• The “toys” they give you in Cracker Jacks anymore are freakin’ pathetic. I demand a REAL toy!!!

• We bought 60 lemons, a jar of Cayenne Pepper, and a jar of 100% pure Maple syrup last night. We’re going to start the Master Cleanse Diet the day after tomorrow. I cannot wait! I’m SO excited!!! It’s FINALLY happening!!! I’m going to keep a log on how I feel and everything. Just thinking about it is making me feel sooooooooo flippin’ excited!

• My daughter is already buggin’ me to decorate for Christmas. We decorate on the weekend after Thanksgiving….alaways have. I told her that, but she thinks we need to change tradition. I explained to her that if we change traditions, the house might spontaneously combust, so we’ve gotta stay on schedule. She looked at me and said, “Gimme a flippin’ break, Mom. I’m 10, not retarded!”      Where the heck does she get that mouth?!?!

• My tailbone’s bothering me. I have arthritis in it from about 5 years ago when I fell down the stairs and broke it. It acts up once in a while. I guess these are one of these times. I need to go ask Lonnie to kiss my ass. Hehe

• Holy balls of crap! Now Lonnie’s playing Flock of Seagulls - “I Ran”. If he keeps it up, I’m going to be the one running…down the street in my t-shirt whilst screaming, “SAVE ME!!!”

• I’m so stoked that Lonnie’s been using his My.Opera account lately. I hope he’ll actually stick with it. I am certainly not holding my breath.

• BTW - If you would like a Christmas/holiday card from me, let me know and I will get your addy from you and mail you one. I want to break a personal record this year of how many I sent. I normally send quite the fist full, but I REALLY want to spread the cheer this year!!! So, seriously…..if you would like to be added to the list, just say the word, I’ll give you my email address where you can send me your mailing address and I will send a card! I promise to keep your address secret. I’m not the type to go blabbin’ that type of info. I respect people’s privacy just as though it is my own. Scout’s honor!

• Oh my. Now it’s “Karma Chameleon” - Culture Club. I’m not ashamed (although I should be) to admit that I actually like this song! Hahahaa

• Holy crapola! Sir-Mix-A-Lot?!?!?!!?! “Buttermilk Biscuits”!!! Hells yeah! Hahhahaaha…I love this song!

• Okay, time to wrap this mo-fracky up. Thank you so much to all of you who read my blog so religiously. I can’t tell you how excited I get when I get on my computer in the morning, open my Outlook, and see that I’ve got new comments on here. I immediately get all giddy and then race over here to see what was said. The fact that anyone wants to read what I have to say boggles my mind…and the fact that you keep coming back is truly touching. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you guys!!!

Once again, I’m using OneNote to compose my Random Randomness© in. I’ve used it SO many times over the past three days. I’ve stored recipes in it, used it to save Google search results, television schedules, movie information….just so much stuff. I absolutely LOVE this program. I totally cannot believe I’ve had it this whole time and didn’t even know what it was. I’m going to be going through all my Microsoft crap tomorrow (errr…later today) to see what other goodies I’ve got hiding!

Tomorrow (later today since it’s just after 1AM) is my fasting day. My buddy, Matthew, and I fast every single Monday. I admit I accidentally skipped a Monday, but I’ve been pretty good about it. I know Matthew has been doing well also. He’s also been doing his whole Yoga/Push-ups/Sit-Ups thing, so he’s turning into a real Tony Little…minus all the annoyance.

I finally got smart and typed out a ginormous list of different lines of HTML code that I use daily and saved it in OneNote. I can’t tell you how much time I’ve already saved myself. Instead of typing all this lengthy code out all the time, now all I do is open up my OneNote HTML notebook, copy the code I need, and paste it wherever it’s going! Zap! Quick, fast, and in a hurry! I cannot believe it took me all this time to finally bother doing it. I’ve been threatening to for a few years now. Yes…Y-E-A-R-S. I put most procrastinators to shame!

I’ve been drinking a tumbler of tea every night for the past few nights. It’s a really lovely way to wind down. I’ve been going with the Vanilla Chai flavor from the folks over at Bigelow. It’s really very tasty. I enjoy the hell out of it.

When Lonnie and I met with our daughter’s teacher at our parent/teacher conference, I made sure to ask what the school’s policies are with the children bringing home baked goodies to school. The last school our daughter went to had a strict NO HOME BAKED GOODIES!!! rule. Apparently they were freakishly paranoid about one of the kids bringing poisoned treats to school or something. Well, I was informed by my daughter’s teacher that there is no such rule at this school!!! I got SO excited. I told the teacher to be expecting a lot of super cute cupcakes to come her way.

It’s been so nice to finally see Lonnie get a little active with My.Opera. He posted some stuff on his blog the other night. It wasn’t only good to see him on there because he’s never on there and I enjoy his company….it was also nice to see him on there doing something other than work. He’s such a work-a-holic. I knew that’s how he was when we got together, so I do my best not to bring it up or gripe about it….that’s a lot easier said than done sometimes.

Wow…I just got struck with a GIANT wave of grogginess!!! That’s good. If I were smart, I’d get off of here immediately and go lay down. Too bad I’m a complete moron when it comes to this stuff. I drive poor Lonnie insane with the avoiding the doctor bit.

I wasn’t going to, but I think I really am going to lay down this time. I’m feeling more and more groggy….and like my body is essentially shutting down. I’d rather be in the horizontal position when that occurs.

Anyway, in addition to the amazing attire, I could totally handle the whole routine of daily life back then. The Mom took care of the house, the kids, her husband….the husband went to work every day and then came home at night at which time the family enjoyed a freshly cooked meal together. Ahh…doesn’t that sound just lovely? I can totally see myself being SO happy back then. Wearing my pretty dress…baking cupcakes while the kids are at school, my hubby’s at work…prepping dinner while listening to Fats Domino singing about Blueberry Hill. I suppose that’s not so much different from how things are now…except for stress level of daily life is astronomically higher now than it was then. Maybe I’m wrong about that…I dunno. It just seems to me that things were so much more cut & dry back then. There weren’t all these annoying details fogging everything up.

Like I said, I would miss my computer, camera…everything. It’d probably drive me nuts after not so long at all…but it’s my daydream. I adore the whole dream of my life the way it would be back in the 1950’s.

*sigh*

Oh well. All good things must come to an end. I cannot continue my affair with Mr. Waddles now that the truth has been exposed.  

Well, after about 45 minutes of Clearance rack diggage, we decided that we’d take the little bit of money we had and buy something for Lonnie with it instead of ourselves. Both of us love to give and we agreed that he’d earned a special treat.

We made our way over to the men’s clothing section. As a general rule, Lonnie hates to get clothes as a gift. He prefers more…uh…oh, I don’t know. He just likes more fun items like movies, computer stuff, magazines…etc. Clothing is generally not something he gets excited over. I seem to slowly be changing that fact, though. Yay!

So anyway, my daughter and I found ourselves looking through the boxer rack in the men’s section. They have so many cool choices. Well, then I saw them:

The Almighty Mario Boxers!!!!

 Are they not the most badass $5 purchase known to man?!

Here’s a tiny quote about the movie that I found online:

A young actress (Anna Faris) and hopeless pothead inadvertently ingests her roommate’s pot-laced cupcakes, and then attempts to manage her day as it goes awry through a series of misadventures.
