The Big DumpTruck

I poked around on Amazon.com this morning to learn more about the new Smash Mouth cd which is due out in 2 weeks or so. Of course, they don’t even have a picture of the cover art or a song list. Seems odd, considering the thing should be, well, done by now. Two weeks is only two weeks. I’d think the cover art should be available.

Smash Mouth has the distinction of being the one group my step-daughter and I both really like. Usually she’s listening to *N Sync or Backstreet Boys or Aaron Carter. Eegah.

Don’t get too close to the monitor. I think I finally caught Mookie’s cold. Plus he still has his a bit. Blegh.

Oh, but the one thing that made me feel GREAT today is that when I checked my mail this morning there was a note from a friend of mine from High School who I haven’t seen, well, since high school. She signed on to Classmates and because I’m a member, I sent her a note. That’s just so cool. She was one of my favorite people in high school…always nice to everyone, funny, etc etc. (I’d better stop now in case she reads this and thinks I’m going to stalk her.) But seriously, now I’ve been in touch (email) with about 4 or 5 people from my high school class from being on Classmates.com. So cool.

Mookie and I are going to be in a Halloween parade today. He’ll be in his dinosaur costume, and I’ll wear the wizard costume I wore last year. I’m saving the Ren princess costume for the wedding reception on the 3rd.

I’d blustery outside. I hope that by noon, it’s a few degrees warmer, else I should look for a wizard cape make out of bear fur.

I painted my fingernails purple and have deep purple eyeshadow and black lipstick. I’m considering this a trial run for Wednesday, when I wear this getup to work. I hope they encourage dressing up. I haven’t actually checked yet.

I knew that Denny’s was hazardous to your health, but I didn’t think it was hazardous the way the Sentinel & Enterprise reported this morning. Ten people, minding their own business, eating lunch, had a car land on them.

I’m staying out of Denny’s. I like my lunch projectile-free. At least most of the time.

It’s Saturday! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I tried to get in for an oil change at my local dealer (cause I wanted them to look at something else) and they rejected me. Well, they said I could “leave it” and they’d fit it in, but I don’t feel like sitting in the waiting room for 5 hours. They only get one channel on the tv in the waiting room, and unlike Saturn, there is no bagel and beverage area. Not that I’m tied to car dealer bagels, but I don’t have a ride, so I’d be trapped. If they were located next to a shopping mall or a movie theater, we’d be talking a whole different ball game.

So if you see me next week, I’m the one with dirty oil.
