Throwing Little Thought Pebbles
at Your Windshield
Happy Halloween!
Well, okay, that's not a great costume. But I think I can pull it off. I wish we had a real party to go to so I could have started to think about this more than 2 days before the holiday. Someone suggested wearing a garbage bag [Note: remember kids, plastic bags are not toys. Neither are mom's credit cards or the electric sander.] and writing "I'm Hefty" on the outside of it. But I'm thinking that the 5 year olds ringing the doorbell won't quite get it.
I also promise not to be anal-retentive about it this year and keep track of how many kids come to the door. No, really.
BOO! I prefer treats to tricks, but I'm open to suggestions. It's too late for me to figure out a costume to wear while I'm handing out candy. And it's not like Walmart is going to have my size right there in stock. So I'm not even going to ask for ideas. I'm going to dress like a pregnant woman.
I'm Getting Cranky
Weather Watch
But at least my dear husband gets to be a storm this year.
Okay, but I just went to a site that was listed as a link from the Yahoo
weather site. It's the too cool Lowe's
Storm97 Hurricane Central site. (Run by FEMA) I had no idea such a
thing existed. And according to the link to the Storm
Season 97 page on this site, the J name was Juan, and the K name was
Kate! I guess I don't understand how this works.

Lord of the Dance Update
Just a quick note that Michael Flatley got a thumbs down review in the
Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel this past May. Normally I wouldn't include information
on stuff that happened so long ago, but I really enjoyed how the author
included the word "Wonderbra" in his review. That ought to get
the hit rate for his page up! And now mine will too, based on my inclusion
of the word Wonderbra!
Today's List
It's getting to be about that time. I am starting to get fairly cranky.
Now there is no need to ask those who know me whether or not this is true,
because they love and adore me and would never admit that yes, cranky it
is. I hit the 30 week mark on 10/28, which gives us about 10 weeks to go
before this kid gets here. I know I should be putting anything about Mookie
on his page. Lord knows I've been really bad about updating it. But once
the 3rd trimester hit, the energy I had gained back in the 2nd trimester
decided to go on a cruise and left me by myself. So my clothes don't fit.
The ones I have. Most of those are summery. I have three shirts with long
sleeves and two sweaters (pre-pregnancy) that I can still squeeze into.
Pitiful, isn't it? But when your whole world revolves around your belly,
you want to put something around it before you head off to work. Plus there
is the whole "winter coat" thing. I don't have one that fits and
November is less than a fist full of days away.
So aren't you glad you asked? I am!
I have been informed (okay, I saw it on a weather report) that the newest
tropical storm is Tropical Storm Keith. He is expected to strengthen to
a typhoon by 10/30.
I always wanted to have a storm named after me. I think it would be cool
if it was a really destructive one, like Hurricane Gloria. Is "Typhoon
Jody" too much to ask for? Too bad we only get one shot a year for
each letter of the alphabet. But that raises a question. If they are already
on "K", what was the "J" name? Did I miss Jody? I need
to look this information up ASAP. (Boy, the web, she is a beautiful thing,
no?)
Mookie's dad wasn't too happy that I pointed out to the Web universe that
Mookie's room isn't ready for him yet. So I apologize. "Mookie, I'm
sorry your room isn't ready yet."
