5 notables from this week…
1. My best friend is finally coming home. It’s hard when half your brain/heart/soul lives in Denver. It just is.
2. I don’t really care for Cracker Jacks. I’m not sure I ever really liked them… but today I got some, and not only does it all taste like crap coated in sugar tar – but the “toy surprise” was a fact-sheet about Benjamin Franklin. HELLO? Where’s my freakin’ tattoos, man? I’ve been ROBBED.
3. We had a big group at the house last night – 10 people standing in the kitchen and it’s LOUD – everyone’s talking to everyone else – at least 4, maybe 5 conversations going on at once. There is a small sudden silence and our friend Matt says, “Is anyone here interested in FARM FRESH EGGS?” Hilarity, man. Turns out Matt knows a guy…..
4. If pressed to answer the question of whether I would prefer bendy straw hair or newspaper skin, I’d have to say bendy-straw. I mean, what if it rained? Or there was a coupon I really, really needed? Ick.
5. If you are ever driving down the freeway and there is an ENDLESS jittering chingaling noise that you can’t locate, even after miles of almost running yourself and everyone else off the road while you check and recheck all the zippers on your purse and coat, resettle all your CDs, phone, sunglasses, etc – check for a pile of arcade tokens in the handle of the passenger door. It might be that.
