Because I’m really tired and it’s so late, tonight’s blog will be somewhat short. Today has been a nice, laid-back day and for that reason I have collected a few random thoughts. So, here we go again:

– While giving myself a pedicure, I was softening the skin on my right big toe, kind of massaging my own foot. Once that foot was done, I switched to the left and actually had to look at it for a few seconds before I realized what the difference was. I had completely forgotten my left toe wasn’t there, and was getting ready to soften the skin on that foot as well. Whoops. It’s not really depressing at all, it was just a funny shock.

– The X Games are scary – those guys (and girls) defy gravity! With every sport I watch I think it’s my favorite, but then the next event comes on and I’m left undecided. I love it all, except when they get hurt. I watched a guy doing bike dirt vaulting stuff (sorry, can’t remember the name – I’m new to this) – he tried to do a flip and landed on his head. It was so painful to watch, and he wasn’t moving for a while. I get so into it that I was going, “oh NO! Wake up, Mr. Man! Wake up!” My brother thought I was pretty funny, especially when I started jumping up and down in my seat during the bike course. Alistair Whitton kicks serious butt, he’s definitely getting the gold. Hehe, while he was doing all these amazing flips I kept getting all excited and going, “Eeeeeeeeee! Don’t fall, don’t fall…. YES! He made it!” It was great fun, but the downside is it makes every other sporting event look so stupid. “Psh, what’s up with these football weenies? All they do is run into each other. I’d like to see them try a back flip/no-footer!” 🙂

– I think there’s a good reason why Alcoholics Anonymous shouldn’t hand out tshirts, cause then if you wore one it wouldn’t really be anonymous anymore.

– Ardal O’Hanlon cracks me up. So does Billy Boyd. Know why? The accents. They’re just so dang funny! I can’t make it through ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘Father Ted’ without giggling uncontrollably at their voices. My brother says I should marry an Irishman cause that way my husband and I would never get into arguments. “Aye, ’tis why I left the toile’ seat up, woman!” Then I’d just start laughing and say, “You’re too cute!” and all would be well in Happy Married Land.

Can you tell it’s late yet? 🙂

– I so completely forgot the connection between that poem I posted the other day and the whole Timothy McVeigh thing. Robert had to mention it in an email, then all I could think was, “Oh crap!” Sorry about that, no connection intended.

– New favorite Maxism: Jen was giving Steve a ride earlier today and Max was sitting in his carseat in the back. Jen asked Steve, ‘How are you feeling?’ To which Steve replied, “Rather poopie.” Max pipes up, “Uncle Steve need a clean diaper.” 🙂 That kid doesn’t miss much, he cracks me up.

– Drama teachers scare me.

I think those are all of my random thoughts for the evening. To those people who emailed me tonight – sorry, must sleep, I’ll answer you tomorrow morning. And now it’s off to Happy Sleepy Land for me. 🙂 Good night, all!
