Titleless

Have you ever looked through all the titles of your posts? Try it some time when you have nothing better to do. I did it this morning because I'm quite undirected and goal-less and have no purpose. I can barely remember what I wrote for some of them. I won't bother a recap. I just thought I'd point you in that direction if you're in need of a moment's diversion. Yes, this is another post where I have nothing important to say. But don't you just hate it when posts have no title at all? It's like nudity. So unseemly. I need to find a new way of saying that I have little to say but a sincere desire to say it, nonetheless.

Today is 7-11-11. Isn't that cute! 7-Eleven stores are giving away 7.1 oz. Slurpees today in honor of the date. They expect to distribute millions. I don't know for certain where my closest store is, but I'm passing on the deal. Sadly perhaps, Slurpees are among the few edible products I do not enjoy. Skittles, Laffy-Taffy, malt balls, stewed tomatoes, sardines, sushi, and grapefruit are among my list of non-tempting treats. If I were stranded on an island with only those foodstuffs, I'd have to starve to death. It's just that simple. But I digress--If you yearn for a sugary, frozen treat and you know where a 7-Eleven dwells near you, head on over and indulge. After all it's summer and they're free. Sounds like a good combination to me. I'm helpful like that.

U.S. Women's Soccer Team  had a dandy game over the weekend. Did you see the highlights? I love it when U.S. women kick some butt. I enjoy seeing people who can run, control their body movements, and can header some goals. (Is that the correct terminology?) As you know, I'm the most nonathletic human on earth. But I'm a dandy observerator. (Can you imagine it? Spell checker doesn't like that word. psh!)

Some newborn boy in Texas weighed in at over 16 pounds. Ugh! Ann Curry interviewed the rather large parents of the gargantuan child. It was the funniest interview I've ever seen. She'd ask them a question and they'd mumble one-word, monosyllabic answers. Their faces were expressionless and they both rocked madly in those glider rockers. I'm sure they were just nervous, but it was one of those cricket chirping moments on television that probably make news people break into flop sweats. (I might be the only one that thinks this funny. Feel free to move on...)

The highlight of our weekend was going to Taco Bell and claiming our three free tacos each when we purchased a large drink. We were able to enjoy this perk because we watch the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball games. If the D-backs score 6 runs or more and you are in Arizona, you too could get three free tacos between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m. with the purchase of said beverage. You'd think Rick had never eaten such tasty treats. He's amazingly ingenuous. (It doesn't take much to please him...) You might see this as pathetic. Just go scarf down that free Slurpee and don't judge...)

On Wednesday I'm headed to Las Vegas for three days, SIL is going to scout camp. Daughter is not very excited because I'm only there Wednesday-Friday. I don't know what she expects. I need a dose of grandsons, but I don't like to be away from home very long. I think she should be happy that I'm available even for a short visit. Some times three days is about as long as I can endure their particular brand of craziness. I'm not taking Lola. Daughter informed me that the hounds had other dogs at the cabin down on the ground while gnawing on their tiny throats. I think I'll pass on having Lola killed by those brutes. They live in a strange environ that I don't relish. I hope Reba (momma hound) doesn't take me down and suck my blood. I do not find this a drawing factor in my going there. ??

What is your opinion on home warranties? Ours expires on 7-22. Today in the paper, Dave Cherry said they often aren't worth the investment. Our house is six years old. Do you think it's wise to renew? Pass on wisdom if you care to. I'm uncertain as usual.

Lots of headaches this weekend. I'm off to take another Imitrex. I don't know if it's the heat, the humidity, or just my silly head, but I don't like it. Let it be known! I'm sure my exposure to the "Hounds of the Baskervilles" will really clear up those headaches.
