...speaking of random

so i'm reading again. and that's always nice.
the first one is Broke Diaries. love this book. it's hilarious and side splitting.
second, the Imperfect Mom. because we all are. and this is a book full of non-Marthas that eff it up from time to time. Have yet to find a story about hot wax all over a child's back... but still. it's REAL!
third is Smashed, which will be my next pick for my book club with Scott. so order up big boy! it's a book about a girl who spends her life DRUNK.




hey look. my life's theme in three books: broke, imperfect, and drunk. niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

* was driving home last night after picking Laken up from the Paternal Units' home. (aka, Gramma's) and was driving about 64 in a 70. laaaadeeeedaaaaaa. and then this truck gets on my ass. so i'm between an 18wheeler and this truck. no biggie. i'm not concerned. then this truck pulls out of the lane behind me, into the next lane for about half a second, then darts back in behind me and flashes his lights. His red and blue and white lights. so i say "what the hell am i getting pulled over for now??" So i pull over and the nice "Highway Patrol" says, "ma'am you were following that semi too closely!" Isn't that an opinion? hmmmm. So, i tell him that i couldn't slow down because he was behind me. he's looking at my windshield at this point with his flashlight and sees my expired registration. again. So he tells me it's expired and i break into story "this is my ex husband's car. he lives in san antonio, i can't renew it through this county because there's still a lien on it. so i had to send the form to the tax assessor there. and they'll mail it back to me." then he asks for my proof of insurance. DRAT! i don't have insurance because i can't afford it because i keep getting pulled over and being threatened with jail and orange jumpsuits. it's a vicious cycle, i tell ya. anyway, so there goes another $200 on that ticket. thanks, buddy.

fun little facts:

i always open a bag of chips upside down. those little grab bags. can't eat 'em unless they're opened upside down.

i don't have much of a sweet tooth. don't like chocolate. i have a Nestle Crunch on my desk that has been sitting there for two days. it's half eaten.

my second toe is longer than the first one. (which means i'm going to be dominant in any relationship) Which, scientists are trying to prove means you have a genetic predisposition of becoming a homosexual. Also, if your ring finger is long than your index finger, yup... you're a carpet muncher deep down. Did i just say that?!

i must admit that i mostly buy books because the cover appeals to me. either that or the title. For example: How to Pee Standing Up. Good times. see, i AM judging a book by it's cover

i've read a ton of books before they became movies. like the Yaya Sisterhood, House of Sand and Fog, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Notebook, Girl, Interrupted, White Oleander and the fantatic Bridget Jones Diaries. I'm sad that i didn't read the DaVinci Code before now. But!!!! Two of my favorite-ist novels are movies now. The Devil Wears Prada, and The Nanny Diaries. I have an extra copy of the Nanny Diaries that i will send to the first person who asks for it... if anyone wants it. Now, i'm just waiting for the "Shopoholic" Movies to come out. cause that would be swell. and i'll even take the part for FREE!!! (brush up on my english accent. If Rene Zelweger can do it, so can i!)

i like to ramble

i am full of useless information and it spews out randomly. like, while watching Letterman last night. Kid science projects and one of them starts talking about Newton's laws of Motion. and there i go... "an object in motion...." N.E.R.D alert!

i have several MLA Handbooks. it's a guideline for college students to use. helps you avoid plaigerism and yada yada. i love them. am addicted to them. have three. including one that is pocket sized.

i love things on keychains. Chapstick, Sharpies, flashlights. now you can get that bleach pen on a key chain. but my all time favorite??? SUNSCREEN! sunscreen on a key chain. best. invention. ever!

Grey's anatomy is over. i sobbed like a little girl. i won't spoil in case some of you missed it. but effin' Izzy is the dumbest person ever. and what the hell was up with no-neck-Torres? she's so freakin' ugly and i'm so sick of her attitude. and why does meredith get to be a whore and we all love her? WHY?

almost have no desire to watch American Idol tonight. what for? not that it's all about chris, because i started feeling this way when ace left. but c'mon. what is this top three? who the hell??? Anyway, here is an interesting article for those of you who think that it's all fixed. Puh-lease. losing american idol is the best thing to happen to Chris. And can people stop saying how awesome Taylor is. c'mon. if he wins, what the hell is he going to do? dance around on stage like that all the damn time? sure it's fun. for the first five seconds. but, unless you're drunk or on your way... i really don't think this is "entertainment" for much longer than that. i can watch that at any bar in america for free. so Click here for AI Voting Strategies... Makes complete sense. only, i think Chris's Votes will go to Taylor.

ok... i'm tired of this. have a great day. off to blog!
