I think I maybe, kinda, sorta, need to get a boyfriend. Someone to take me to get some nachos, and to see New Moon, and buy me some milk duds there, and then appreciate my witty, snarky comments throughout said movie. Any takers?

ow! my face...

Is burning off!!!!! I began my Tazorac prescription. Now I remember why I waited 3 years to do it again! Oh well, I will look years younger in 6 weeks! (If I can put up with it that long...)

proven theory...

I have long had a theory that I have shared with many. That drinking Diet Coke makes you short. I was the proof of that theory, being the shortest kid in my family (5'8" for me, 6' for my sister, 6'2" for one brother, and 6'4" for another). And last night my theory was proven again. The girl and her cousin K are 9 months apart. Usually they get to be about the same height, and then the girl hits a growth spurt. Not so much last night. K is taller than the girl now! Even though the girl's growth spurt will start soon, K has never been taller. How does this prove my theory? The girl has been taking drinks off my diet coke for the last year. She swore to quit that habit after last night, and finding out that her mom was right! Feel free to use this theory on your kids as well. I have always said that diet coke makes kids short, and I now have further proof to add!

computer issues

So, I switched phone/internet companies. Thought it would be easy. Not so much. I was without home phone for 4 days, and without internet until today. How? I'm not sure, but appearantly my downstairs is wired differently than the rest of the house. The main computer is downstairs, so I had to piggyback on a neighbors unsecured network. And now I can't work my wireless at all. I guess I'll be placing another service call! Good thing I paid the $4 a month extra that I can cancel at any time! I'll be getting my moneys worth for this month!

Other stuff... I finished at the denture place. I'm now at a pedo (kids) dentist. I like the clientel much better. I'll save the things I learned at the denture place for another blog.

Have to find the boy some food... he is having dad issues (will they ever end?) and is being extra picky and not so hungry...

help!!!!

I need Halloween costume ideas for myself! So far I have thought:

• bride- I already have a dress, so why not? (shot down)
• devil- red pj's and the boy's old devil stocking hat
• princess- recycling my wedding crown (shot down as well, as I have done it too many times)
• witch- I've brokered a trade with my niece for her hat (I have to give her sparkley eye diamonds for her Taylor Swift costume)
• cowgirl- but that's not really a costume for me as much as a mood

All the costumes in the stores are "sexy" and I can't bring myself to spend more than $5 on the thick trash bag material that make up these costumes! So any votes/other ideas would be wonderful!!!

randoms...

Just a thought, if you are going to act all shady and stalkerish, I'm going to treat you that way!

Why was the weather tolerable for the last day of soccer games?

I had my first experience with rot mouth last week... an overwhelming smell of (the only smell similar I can come up with is) old roadkill that you can't get away from!

I can't believe how much I am saving on gas since I don't have to drive too far to learn anymore!

Why don't the kids like my theme ideas for Halloween anymore? I think they like it, they just can't agree on a theme...

The cat got a Halloween shirt. He gets it put on him every time the girl finds it and can wrestle him down. It only stays on a few minute...

why

did the kids come home from the homecoming parade with a bag of candy, but not one colored tootsie roll in the mix of yucky stuff. This is the 2nd time they have been to a parade and this has happened this season! I'm going to have to research... is there a shortage of the colored tootsie rolls?

Also, my new favorite candy bar is milky way midnight!
