1. Once incentivized by a one dollar reward, I thought Georgie’s nocturnal awakenings were coming to an end. I was wrong. Two stinking nights of success and then he was over it. That’s just wrong.
2. I don’t think I know one single person who is not feeling in some state of flux right now. I, however, am totally at peace, grounded and together.
3. I have not had a Chipoltle fix all week. I must do something about that.
4. Georgie has agreed to sell his dolls at this weekend’s yard sale. Yes, he has a vast collection of Barbies, Bratz and other ill proportioned plastic women in his arsenal — the skankier the better. Most have missing arms or legs, poorly shorn hair and are naked. Yet, he expects to pull in some serious cash for them. I think I see a life lesson on the horizon.
5. I somehow managed, despite having been awoken in the middle of the night, to push out a pretty excellent workout this morning. I fully suspect I will be fighting with my eyelids by 4 p.m.
6. Some out of the gate thoughts on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”: Danielle is, but most definitions, psycho. Teresa not only has the lowest hairline I’ve ever seen on human, but clearly doesn’t get the message that Wilhemina doesn’t think her daughter is as “all that” as she does. Dina is a bitch. A pretty and seemingly charitable bitch, but a bitch. Caroline is no one I would ever mess with, but I kinda think I’d like to hang out with her. And Jacqueline better get a handle on Ashley…
7. I am dying to see “Up”. If Georgie is nice to me, I might even let him come with me.
8. The dryer just beeped at me. Inside are the sheets and duvet to my (king sized) bed. I am going to pretend it isn’t dry yet so that I don’t have to wrestle with the duvet by myself. It is definitely a two person job.
9. Georgie takes great pleasure in calling me into the bathroom after he poos to show me his creation. Granted, they are always very impressive, but I do wonder when he will stop feeling the need to share with me.
10. So, this past year I lost 25 pounds. I went down two sizes in jeans. So, can someone please explain to me why I am in the same size bathsuit??? That, really, just ain’t right.
11. This morning Georgie sucked down a glass of chocolate milk with breakfast. Not so unusual. However, it turns out it was his leftover drink from last night which had been sitting on the counter all night. If he was going to get ill it would have happened by now, right? Please tell me I am right because, any faithful follower knows that I am a total vomit phobe and I cannot really think of any other way his body would reject old milk. What is of even greater note is that he said it tasted fine. So perhaps my obesssive need to return milk to the fridge within 30 seconds of pouring it has all been in vain.
12. An old friend once referred to her three year old’s tantrum as a “psychotic episode”. That pretty much says it all.
13. My new “Us Magazine” just came in the mail. (I love retrieving the mail everyday!) This is the fourth week in a row that Jon and Kate have been on the cover. Now, I dig reading this crap as much as the next gal, but surely there is some other celebrity doing something that could bump them from the cover! Lindsay, Britney, Jen, Jacko…where are you?
14. My newly pedicured toes are sporting “Paint My Moji-Toes Red.” And, yes, I went to the OPI website to check the name. (www.opi.com)
15. I have an old friend who sold his house with the knowledge that the new owners were going to tear it down and rebuild. That was about five years ago. The other day I made a new friend who is now living in the house that was erected on that site. That’s kind of random, don’t you think?
16. Someone once told me that Singapore is a very modern, westernized city but that there is a pervasive smell of fish everywhere. Another someone told me that all of that is true…except the fishy smell part. Now, why would the first person tell me that? It sort of made me sound like a moron. Hate that.
17. Last night I had the strangest dream. I sailed away to China, in a little rowboat to find ya. Ahhhhh, I feel better. That song has been in my head for days. Now it’s in yours.
