Monday Mop-up.

• Giants take the crown! And the crowd goes wild!!!
• Steel Cut Oatmeal. yum! Try it. seriously.
• Winds should not go faster than a speeding bullet. Or in excess of 90 mph in gusts.
• Coughing. This seriously needs to stop. I am tired of it.
• Hi. Nice to see you pop in for a second.
• I have a great son. I left my cell on my counter when I took him to school. I just got the following txt from him. "U home ok since u forgot phone?" sigh.
• Do you have any idea how dissapointing it is to decide to watch the next season of Ballykissangel {mentioned in last weeks mop-up where poor asumpta was bumped off. by means of accidental electrocution.} only to find as you open up the case that Disc 1 of the season is AWOL??? This is bad. It was the first time I had opened the case. I searched under the other two Discs, in all the other cases, in the DVD player and even in the Gilmore Girls Season 7 cases which were the only other DVD's I have watched recently. NO disc 1. Sigh. Amazon is now sending out a new set. Should be here tomorrow I am told. But seriously. The dissapointment! aghhhh!
• My pool is FULL of dirt. I didn't think it was possible for it to be dirtier than it already was but I was wrong. That wind is a bitch!
• Superbowl commercials were not impresseive. I saw 2 that stick in my head. The Sobe gekkos dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller and Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade ballons where Stewie and Underdog are fighting for a Coke but neither get it as Charlie Brown comes from afar and finally catches one. Granted it was a coke rather than a football but still. It was during the superbowl so it still had a football tie-in. LOVED it!
• Sooner or later, everything gives way to chocolate. Which is, after all, the natural order of things. — Nigella Lawson
• Speaking of Gilmore Girls Season 7 {the final season}, thank goodness it ended nicely. I was not amused when season 6 ended with Lorelai in bed with Christoper. GAH! I like Luke. She needed to be with Luke. Sigh. I loves me a happy ending.
• Smile. Make people wonder what you are up to.
• I only used the word seriously in this post 5 x's. G'head. count them. seriously. heh!

Monday Mop-up.

• 1st semester is over and it appears that the kid has passed! What a hellish first semester this has been.
• Rain. Desert Dwellers don't know how to deal with rain. *I shake my head*
• Ok, seriously. WTF is this practice of killing off major characters in shows? If the actor is leaving just send them off to a far away land. Don't kill them off. Especially by means of electrocution. and when said character's life seems to be getting what she {and he} really wanted. Poor Assumpta. Poor Peter. {yes, I am too wrapped up in the drama but don't you judge me! heh!}
• Everything is not about you.
• Speaking of rain, when it rains trying to get from here to there is quite the challenge. Whoever decided it was a good idea to build low-lying roads through the washes.....well....just....IDIOTS!!
• It appears that this illness I have been having so much fun with over the past week is slowly going away. yay! This is good because I am seriously tired of coughing.
• I miss my momma. Flipping channels last night and discovering that Ice Skating was on only served to remind me that she is no longer with us. In the past I would have phoned her up to make sure she knew it was on and chatted with her about what the skaters looked like. I miss her so very much. *sigh*
• The kid is bored in school. Big surprise. Huge. He is texting me with nonsense. Dork!
• 2008, thus far, isn't really all that great.
• {edited to add} My Brain Age as of this morning is 40. My brain is 6 years younger than my body. That's good, right?
  
• The view from my front window over the weekend.
