Completely Random

1. Rick accused me of throwing away a receipt he needed for work. I was up to my elbows in the trash and the recycling box looking for this scrap of paper from QT proving he got gas for the shop vehicle. He said it was for over $100. He brought up the time I inadvertently cut up his boss's credit card thinking it was one of ours...which unfortunately is all too true and fodder for another post (not this one.) So all night and part of the morning I was apologizing profusely for my neatness neurosis. "Tell the boss it was your crazy wife. I accept full responsibility," I stated. "I'll take the blame." Rick obsesses, you know. He mentioned that receipt at least 20 times, tapping the spot where it once lay in mourning for my madness.

THEN--then as he was getting ready to leave this morning, he went out to the garage and happened to look in his coveralls. And there in the pocket--THE LOST RECEIPT. Aha! And the total was for only $25--not over &100, Rickster. I have been exonerated!! (However, I'm sure there are many such offenses in my future.) I hate clutter! Keep track of your scraps of paper in our house, fella, or they are tossed. You've been warned! (a miss is as good as a mile...)

2. Tom Brokaw was on the Today show looking pale and gray, but still cute--just aging cute. I used to have such a crush on him. I know--how nerdy am I!! But it's true. I just think he's handsome and smart and cute as a button, even now. I also can't believe how senior Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood appear. You can see from my choice of crushes how really antiquated I am also. I just was musing on this. Old people are allowed to muse...

3. I'm sick to death of Charlie Sheen and his deplorable behavior. I'm sorry for Bob and Max his adorable children, but those kids have two wacko parents and it's too bad people like that procreate. There are other events in life newsworthy perhaps--NOT Charlie!!

4. Reading the book Room. Have you read it? Interestingly disturbing story of a little boy and his mother's world which is limited to Room, Bed, Wardrobe, etc. Nicely written and sadly reminiscent of recent kidnapping stories. Pretty scary.

5. I'm glad I don't have one of those POPULAR blogs followed by hundreds or thousands of readers. Can you imagine the pressure I would feel to be entertaining and relevant? On my blog, I'm ridiculously unpressed by expectations of greatness.

6. Though I'm all for freedom of speech, I don't see why the Supreme Court allows that nut-job religion to picket soldier's funerals with their vitriol.

7. Do I care that the NFL and the players are squabbling over billions of dollars? Not so much...Poor babies!
