My sister Bonnie and I are in Houston this weekend visiting my son and daughter-in-law. They both had to work this morning so Bonnie and I got up early and worked their neighborhood garage sale for them.
I've finally found the perfect outlet for my OCLSC (obsessive compulsive lifestyle choice). I am the perfect garage sale organizer and sales person.
If you'd like to hire me, please call me at 1-800-SLM-YSHT or e-mail me at GarageSaleWhore@gt.rr.net.

Pain Killers Recalled
Eleven million bottles of acetaminophen have been recalled because they contain metal shavings.
If a person has to ingest metal shavings, I suppose in combination with pain killers would be the preferred method.

See ya!
Tomorrow is Fav File Clerk's last day here at the office. She's moving on to bigger and better things (and an office with lots more men).

Faith Hill and Carrie Underwood
You've probably seen this but I keep going back to YouTube and watching different versions of it. There's one where the guys watching it say, "Rewind, dude. Did you see that?"
Faith Hill's people said yesterday that she was just kidding and that she didn't know the camera was on her. I think they could have come up with a better story than that. She might have forgotten the camera was on her but professional entertainers always know when they're on camera.
Some of the public are saying Faith is upset that Carrie won and she didn't. I, personally, don't think Faith was necessarily upset that she didn't win. She was just shocked that Carrie won. I'm sure Carrie would be the first to say that it was a real shocker.
I prefer Faith's honest reaction (own it, girlfriend) to the usual nice smiley clapping. Of course, with all the flack Faith Hill is getting for this, I definitely understand the smiley clapping reaction choice.

More Weirdness
I stopped at Great China on my way home to buy myself some hot and sour soup and some spring rolls. This was my fortune...
This is what the UPS guy just left on my front porch...
If it flies...
As I was driving to work this morning, I found myself behind a Suburban, otherwise known in these parts as a Texas Cadillac. On the bottom left of the rear window, I noticed one of those stickers which has the name of a child and their chosen sport. I would like to see the name of a child with some math equations under it, but I digress.
As I pulled up behind the Suburban at a stoplight, I got a better look at the sticker. It had two birds in flight on either side of the words, “If it flies, it dies.” That seemed a bit all-inclusive to me, even for Texas. Surely, they wouldn’t shoot a pelican or Superman. What about The Flying Nun or The Greatest American Hero?
Did the Greatest American Hero fly? I don’t remember. I have a sore throat. I think I have a fever. Now, my head hurts. I need to go lie down for a minute. I bet I dream about frogs. Stupid frogs.

Frogs!
Last night, I dreamed my house was infested with frogs. They started out small and then they got larger and larger until they were about the size of a kitten. I had to pick them up and throw them out the door to get rid of them, crying and groaning in disgust the whole time. The more I threw out, the more there were.
Frogs.
Disgusting.
Frogs.

My Evil Side is Showing
I'm the person in our group who likes to go early to a club to get the best table, geometrically speaking, for view and sound and, if I can swing it, restroom proximity. (I scored big on the restroom thing at Courville's last time, not so big on view or sound though.) While I wait for everyone else to arrive, I drink and chit-chat with the staff and watch all the other poor suckers come in looking for a good place to sit.
Where's the evil in that, you ask? I especially like to watch the people who come in two hours after me who look at me and my primo table like I'm a pork chop sandwich and they haven't eaten in a week. That makes me happy. I actually had one girl ask me last night, in a somewhat snotty tone as I sat with my three saved chairs, "Are people SITTING with you?"
I wanted to say, "Yes, dear. They're invisible and they don't like you either," but I didn't.
Last night I got an unreasonable amount of joy out of watching several different couples wander around aimlessly trying to find a place to park their derrieres. I had to feel bad for the men because their martini glass carrying dates did not look pleased that they were going to be standing all night. Granted, it was Jive Train and every chair and table in the place was taken by 8:30 p.m. but I still felt superior to the rabble below me and my excellently perfect table.
See what I mean? Evil.

Sean Homecoming
Even though I've quit having birthdays, somehow, my niece and nephews just keep getting bigger and bigger. This is my nephew Sean before his homecoming dance this year. He's so handsome! I don't know the girl but she's a cutie.
Enjoy the slideshow of my brother and his family. I just noticed I don't have Kim in any of the slideshow pictures so here is one of her. (She was probably the photographer in most of the slideshow pics which came from e-mails from her.)

I told you I was naughty...
(Click on any one of the symbols above to find our if your site is naughty or nice.)
Anyone? Anyone?
Since I’ve already voted, is there something similar to the V-Chip I could install so I don’t have to listen to political ads anymore. If not, would someone please invent one? I would suggest you call it the BS-Chip.

I'm Such a Naughty Girl
I had an errand to run after work today and, on my way, I noticed the early voting location near my house. I've never done the early voting thing so, I decided that after I ran my errand I might vote.
After I ran my errand, I thought of another thing I needed to do. Then, after I did that thing, I stopped at Kroger and bought me some sushi. On my way home, I noticed I still had time to vote.
I'm not telling you who I cast my vote for as governor of Texas but I will tell you that it made me feel like such a rebel. I feel kind of like a bad girl, even. A naughty, naughty girl. I feel energized. I feel exhilarated!
If I had a cigarette, I'd smoke it.

Another Guilty Pleasure (Like I Need Another One)
There is a new show on VH-1 called Celebrity Paranormal Project. This is a reality show in which celebrities and semi-celebrities are sent to areas with a reputation for having paranormal activity.
I somehow missed the first episode which included Gary Busey, Hal Sparks, Survivor winner Jenna Morasca, Toccara from America's Next Top Model, and Baywatch original Donna d'Errico. I can't wait to catch a replay of that one. Hal Sparks is hilarious and Gary Busey is a celebrity abnormal project unto himself.
The next episode features Mariel Hemingway, Joe Piscopo, gold-medalist Picabo Street, The Real World's Tonya Cooley, and Baywatch's Michael Bergin. I've always liked Joe Piscopo so I'm looking forward to that one.
The episode I did see was great. It had Rachel Hunter, comedian Godfrey, Baywatch's Traci Bingham, workout video guru Tony Little, and Survivor winner Ethan Zohn. The only two team members I was familiar with were Rachel Hunter and Tony Little. Rachel Hunter was doing her best to keep the other guys under control but having no success.
Godfrey actually left her alone at one point because he freaked out. Ethan Zohn wanted to go with Rachel on a "mission" so he might get to comfort her if she got scared. Sorry, Ethan. Rachel was one cool cucumber while Traci Bingham lost her shit on a regular basis. Tony Little did fine as did Ethan.
I thought it was unfair of the cameras to show Tony, more than once, applying makeup. In his defense, he was tied up in a straight jacket at one point and sweating bullets. He needed a little touchup. My guess is that he applied makeup once after the straight jacket incident and the show was edited to make him look like a diva. Granted, the guy is a little hyper for my taste, but a little queer eye for the exercise guy isn't necessarily a bad thing.
