1. I have this thing where when someone's tailgating me, I want to slam on my breaks and make them rear end me and then get out of the car and say, "Yeah, well, that's what you get for being a jerk, there, killer." The only thing that keeps me from doing it is that The Tank would more than likely sustain quite a bit of damage. Oh, and I don't really want whiplash.
2. Is there any reason I can't go into the grocery store and spend less than $100? Yesterday I wrote a "small" list. I think it had eight things on it. And still, more than $100. I have to admit, I was seduced by the nectarines, fresh basil, chicken breasts (which I generally only buy when they're on sale), and strawberries. I have absolutely no self-control. The bonus in all of this is that I used the "customer with child" parking. Because if anyone's "with child", it's me. I'm waddling like a duck, thanks to extra sore hips.
3. It is HOT in Texas. HOOOOOOOOT. I'm pretty sure I almost suffocated on humidity yesterday. The Big Boss is back in the office this week so my one week free reign of the thermostat has come to an end. He wants to keep it on 78 degrees. Ass-cuse me? I managed to talk him down to 75 yesterday and then sat at my desk and sweated it up. I smelled like body odor when I got home.
4. If you've read and liked Hunger Games, you'll like the Poison Study series by Maria Snyder. And if you haven't read either, you really should get on it.
5. The Tummy Toucher was trolling for food this morning and I responded by shoving the last three of my strawberries in my mouth just as soon as she started to ask for one. I've hidden my nectarines from her. I hope I don't forget about them.
6. Holy cow, but I had the most delicious margherita pizza for lunch yesterday. Thanks to The Lentil, my stomach has been smashed to the size of a prune, and I could only eat one piece. I wanted more. Who am I kidding? I wanted to eat the whole thing.
7. There's this guy at work - the kind where regardless of any story you might have, he has one that's two (if not ten) times better than yours. And he's not scared to corner you and tell you all about it. I'm his least favorite person in the office because I have a hard time pretending I care. However, yesterday, after finding that all of the other employees were out of their offices, he forced me to go back to his office to look at a picture of a bear that he shot that's recently been stuffed. Now, I grew up in a home where we had a deer head displayed, but really. What on earth are you going to do with a full body, 400 pound stuffed bear?
8. I was going to post a picture of my garden harvest from this past weekend until I saw this picture on my sister-in-law's blog. She's such a show off. By the way, you should check out her weekly "This Moment" pictures - she posts them on Friday. I've thought about doing it myself, but I can't really post a picture with no words under it. I'm kind of a loud mouth that way.
9. Today I'm wearing a body spray Thanet gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago. Her mom used to send her the same scent when we lived in Japan. I'm pretty sure she knew, but I used to sneak some (ok, so A LOT) every time I stayed at her house. It smelled sooooo good - mostly because I smelled like Japan the rest of the time (I have no idea what the smell is. Fish? Mildew?) Whenever I ask Husband to recount his experience of meeting me for the first time (fresh off the plane from Japan), he always talks about how bad I smelled. It's a miracle he married me.
10. Do things your husband says ever shock the pants right off of you? Like the other day, Husband told me he was thinking about ordering a pair of Crocs. Um. WHAT? Then last night, he turned the TV on and put it on Mean Girls. I thought he did it for me and was pretty confused because he knows how I feel about supporting anything Lindsay Lohan has done. Then he said, "Whenever this is on, I can't help but watch it. It's so funny."
11. We watched What About Bob over the weekend. I laughed hysterically. That movie has to be one of the best movies ever made. Bob reminds me of a patient from when I used to work at The Doctor's Office. She was funny as long as you weren't the one who had to deal with her. She was nuts.

I am with you on the grocery shopping! It's crazy.
And my goal this summer is to read The Hunger Games. It better be good. I am antihype because usually things are a let down. See: Twilight.
I totally understand the grocery thing...something we have tried is going to the store with just the amount of cash we need for what we are going for. When I know I only have $40 in my pocket I have a lot more self-control!
