I have the day off tomorrow, making this a short week. Today is my Friday. Do you know long this day is going to drag on? Yes, that long.

I’m also very hungry and lunch is very far away. What on earth is going on with me? Am I running in a different time zone – something located out in the middle of the Atlantic ocean?

Plans for the long weekend, if I had nothing else going on, had unlimited cash available and could do several item simultaniously:

• Replace the wooden picket fencing we have with some of that nice vinyl stuff. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it myself so maybe this bullet point would just be to pick out the replacement fencing.
• Pull together a big bag of clothes Junior has outgrown and give them to mom to process (she knows people that she passes some of it along to, and the rest we bring to Ginny’s).
• Demolish the rest of the dirty laundry pile
• Roto-till the side yard and reseed that sucker with something hearty that can handle being in full sun.
• Put in an underground sprinkler system
• Fertilize the lawn with something other than dog poo
• Train the dog to heel when he goes for a walk.
• Clean the tub, or pay someone to clean the tub
• Wash the kitchen floor, or pay someone to wash the kitchen floor
• Get my hair done (I actually have an appointment for that one for Saturday)

Knowing me, the only one I’ll finish (hell, start) is the last one because I have an appointment booked for it.

I guess maybe being on ABC, owned by Disney [Ed: Christine, you’re right, it’s Fox. They should have ALL sung this song.] kept “Tie Your Mother Down,” one of my favorite Queen songs, off Idol last night. God I love Queen. It was nice to have a whole bunch of good songs (no offense to Kenny Rogers, who no longer has anything in common with the MadTV version played by Will Sasso, my hero. Although it would have been pretty funny if he had.)

I’ve been watching this season more than any other, and up until last night I had never voted for anyone. I just leave it up to the rest of America. But Paris knocked my proverbial socks off (cause I was wearing flipflops at the time, yo) and I actually took the time to call and vote for her. 5 times. So Paris, honey, your talent just pushed me right over the edge. Amazing.

As a side note, when did Roger Taylor become an accountant? A white shirt and tie? What have they done to you!?

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny. I am such a schmuck. I didn’t notice until today that I didn’t leave the merchant copy of the charge slip when we ate there last week, and that means you didn’t get a tip. My God, man, you should have chased us out of the restaurant and caused a big scene! Well, no, that isn’t good either. But I realize that they can’t put the charge through for anything more than the bill, which means you didn’t get a tip. I’m really really sorry and I’ll be back some night this week to drop off cash for you, with an extra dollar just for your pain and suffering. Again, I’m sorry, and the next time you see us, please don’t spit in our food.

Yours,

Jody

Hey, I got hand-picked to kick off a new Top Five mini list. I’m still not sure why *I* was selected, but apparently my stuff works for the new moderator because one of my entries made the first list.

Now remember, this is a very surreal one. The topics don’t necessarily make any sense, so the list itself, well, I guess you’ll either be amused by it or not. Simple!

I still randomly make what we like to call “The Big List”.

See my oddball entry on the WTF list (yes, it means what you think it means) at http://www.littlefivers.com/wtf/
