Random Monday

Just random thoughts moving through my brain today....

***********

Pretty sure I burned out another running partner this morning.  She said she'd run 3 miles with me and I prodded her to do 4.  Looking back on it, she probably didn't really feel like she could say no.

I guess I forgot to explain the runner's code - which is basically that your partner is supposed to challenge you a little, and you are supposed to really say no if you can't or don't have time or whatever.  I think we just did the "challenging" part, without the "it's ok to say no"- part.  (Sorry Catherine)  (But you did great!!)

I'm going in today to work on my ongoing pipe dream (meant with both meanings thankyouverymuch) to try to get/keep my gray hair uh, not gray.  Do you think it would be weird to go blonder in November?  Because, in the summer I don't think it's weird...  but in the winter???

And at what point do you just give it up and gracefully go gray?

I told myself I wasn't going to drink Diet Coke until 10 am every day.  But that was before the time switch, so 10am is really 11 am, right?  So really, if I crack one open at 9am, it's all the same.  Yes, I know this is pathetic.

....it's 10:00 somewhere, right?

I realized yesterday that I may never have to go to the store again.  I now have 3 kids who are officially adults and can buy spray paint, bb's, benadryl, and lottery tickets all on their own.
Not that I buy lots of those things.  But it's just happy to know that I wouldn't have be the one to go.

Too bad they aren't old enough to drive with Mimi.  She's going in to get her driver's permit today.

I have figured out why older women wear darker lipstick.
Uggh.

I saw a radio station giving away Free! Air! Guitars!! I think I've found the perfect Christmas gift.  I just have no idea how I'd wrap it.

Remember when you got your first blog comments??  My friend Nat  - who has recently emerged from life as a technophobe (and I mean that in the most loving way!!) - has decided to start a blog to document One Thing that was wonderful, or happy, or worth remembering every day.  If you have time, head over and welcome her to blogland, tell her YOUR One Thing for today.

***********

And if you have any thoughts on Christmas gifts for teenagers, besides the air guitars I mean,  let me know.  I'm completely stumped this year, and it's driving me nuts!  This was going to be The Year.  And you know exactly what I mean.

Did you ever used to watch Grammar Rock and wonder what exactly Geraldine was so insulted by?  Because it always looked to me like Geraldo was really working hard to show affection appropriately.

I don't know if I learned more about Interjections or Interpersonal Relationships while watching Grammar Rock.  I think it's safe to say I learned a lot about both.

Yeah.  I know.  Random doesn't even begin to describe it.
