It’s Friday – Hip Hip Hooray!

I love Fridays.

Husband ordered this book: The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters.

Quite a title I’d say. I have no idea what it’s about, I don’t think he knows either but he said the title was so compelling he had to order it.

A recent poll shows Lieberman ahead of Lamont in the senate race. I’m okay with this. I think Lieberman will lose support and Lamont will gain support in the weeks ahead. I do think Lieberman doesn’t play fair and should not have run as an independent. But, at least his true self -- (a Repub-dependent) is out in the open now.

I’d love to see the over-the-hill Hawks send their children to Iraq, if they think it’s such a good thing to send “our” children. And I wonder how long “stay the course” would be their political philosophy.

It reminds me of the suicide bombers. Doesn’t one of them ever think: heck why don’t you blow yourself up oh big shot religious leader – why do I have to blow myself up? You go first…

The ones in power are always so happy to urge, threaten or cajole others to put themselves in danger…. while they stay healthy and safe.


Current food craving: Hot Fudge Sundae

Current song in my head: Crying Game, Boy George

Current favorite item of clothing: my new cargo pants with lots of buttons and strings and pockets in a light weight denim.

Current bitch: Electric bills that make absolutely no sense at all and you could never challenge the charges because they are all gibberish.

Care to share your current craving, song in your head, item of clothing or bitch?

I'm trying so hard to not think of that song by Boy George.
I get songs stuck all the time. Usually it's the last one I heard on the radio. It just plays over and over. Mustang Sally is the one I heard last. I'll keep it rather than trade ya.
I heard a song yesterday from the "O' brother where are thou" soundtrack, "There's no beer in heaven", hilarious.
Today I'm craving a Chicken Chimichanga from our local dive mexican place. They have so many black widow spiders outside in the tall Junipers that I am taking my camera today. It is a sight to see.

My favorite pants happen to be cargo pants too with big pockets. They look sloppy so I didn't wear them to work today.

Have a great weekend Mary!
I'll let ya know when my spider pics are up :)

Dashababy...don't get too close to the spiders!!!! I'm afraid for you...

Now I want a chicken chimichanga..I also want taquitos...I want guacamole and I want a margarita and and...

Don't wear your cargos to take pix..spiders might crawl in...don't get close to the spiders puleeeeze!

I want- no - NEED homemade chicken soup, with lots of carrots, potatoes, and celery. It has to be homemade.

I have no song in my head- yet. I'll let ya know if it changes.

Current fav clothing is pajama bottoms and a soft, white, t-shirt.

Current bitch is too bitchy to bitch about.

I'm so glad its friday. Not that I do anything else during the week, but weekends are nice.

AMK..oh I love leggings but am not sure where to buy them. I have always loved the look and the warmth...I'd be a slave to fashion if I never had to get cold. Please post a photo of you, my favorite gamine in your leggings! ( I am always drawn to the street look,)

Lawbrat, if I could, I would have already delivered to you, fresh, hot chicken soup....you have to move closer to me ;-)

I saw this joke over at Sometimes Saintly Nick- http://saintnicksbytes.blogspot.com/


I thought you would get a laugh out of it, I know I did!

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher, whose hand as caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to former Texas Governor, George W. Bush and his elevation to the White House. The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a 'post turtle'."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain: "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just want to help the dumb shit get down."
