Random Tuesday Thoughts


I love online shopping for a couple of reasons (beside the obvious one that I am female). One, there is nothing more exciting than receiving a package in the mail and two, there is nothing more thrilling than knowing you avoided the hassle of the mall, it’s parking lot and the numerous crazies to get it.



Winter is officially here. It snowed this morning and on my way to work, there were cars in the ditch. Why the hell can't people figure out that snow most likely equals slippery roads.


I’m planning on taking a *cough* sick day this week. Am I sick? Not really - unless you can count being sick of your co-workers and boss an illness and if so - I’m sick as hell.


I went to see the apocalyptic epic movie 2012 on the weekend. May I suggest that you wait for it to come out on DVD and then rent it - save yourself the price of admission, popcorn and snacks – not to mention 2.5 hours of your life? Unless of course, you enjoy bad acting and over-the-top action scenes that don’t make any sense and if that so happens to be your cup of tea – enjoy!


I did see the movie trailer for Sherlock Holmes which is opening on Christmas Day. Typically anything Sherlock Holmes would bore me to tears, but there’s something about Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law that makes skipping Christmas dinner with the in-laws appealing. Hard to believe – isn’t it? Who says a Christmas feast couldn’t consist of popcorn, nachos and Jr. Mints?


The family and I went living room furniture shopping on the weekend. Believe me, this is not the type of activity to bring a family closer together. I listened to their crazy ass opinions, but in reality their opinions don’t count, BUT at least I made them feel like they did.


As always, please be sure to visit The Un Mom for plenty more randomness. In fact, you'd be surprised at how much randomness is out there on a Tuesday...

I am really looking forward to the new Holmes movie! I grew up scaring myself with Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, and the idea of Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law on screen together?! Delicious! :o)

Looking for a great movie, go see the Blind Side. That movie was amazing. Glad you gave me a heads up about 2012. I will wait for DVD. Enjoy your sick day!

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
