Month: July 2006

Okay, too damned hot to do anything today, and due to circumstances I shouldn’t discuss in a public forum but let’s just say if you grew up in the 70s, using these products would allow me to go horseback riding, I didn’t want to go tubing.

But we entertained ourselves as best we could, and we started to enjoy the new Animaniacs dvd set…5 DVDs……whoooooooooo! If I was writing this on my computer, I’d make that a link to Amazon and make a buck if you bought a copy. So use my link over on the right…

I’m trying to find something fun to do this weekend. I think our family could use a little fun (for reasons I can’t really get into here right now) in our lives. I thought my step-kids were going to join us, because we haven’t seen them for what seems like months, but apparently they don’t feel like they need to spend any time with us. Very sad, but what are you going to do?

So suggestions for this weekend people. Let’s see them. We already have a couple of ideas in the running, including Canobe Lake Park, Six Flags and cleaning the tub. Add your suggestions to the comments.

Just when I was getting into the swing of the weekend, we get Monday dumped on us. Rather unceremoniously, I might add.

I want a do-over. It’s not that I wasted the weekend, but I want an extra scoop or two. If the weekend was ice cream, it is like I was handed a kiddie cone and then after only a couple of licks the whole thing fell into the dirt before I could even enjoy it.

And it was *good* ice cream too – something with an animal in the name. Moose tracks, or purple cow or aardvaark ears or something like that. Saturday is no Plain Jane scoop of vanilla frozen yoghurt.

I demand a replacement cone with two scoops and sprinkles, dammit.

Oh my gosh, taking a picture of the tomato plant was a stroke of genius, because one of them is turning red! It’s a pale peachy color right now. I’m so excited!

So the question is, do I tell my parents? Because maybe they’d want me to share with them. I’m loking for new flowers to make sure my whole crop for 2006 isn’t just what’s on the plant today. I want tomatos until the first frost!

Far be it for me to point out that iTunes has a They Might Be Giants free section (I think under Podcasts, I don’t have it in front of me) and you can download every single last one, including classics like Karate, Pleather, Things I Like to Do, and Plenty of Room. I know some people hate it but I like “Things I Like to Do”:

Things are what I like to do
Doing things is what I like to do
Things are what I like to do
No twiddling of Thumbs
I get everything done
I’m slightly more productive
Now than previous because
I’m slightly more efficient
Than I previously was
Doing things is what I like to do
Yes!
Doing things is what I like to do
Yes!
