Tie goes to the runner

Interesting enough, I have been busy today. Alot of little things that compound to rather large items...eventually sucking every morsel of energy directly our of your body (without you even noticing). This is when I feel my age... and although the Liquor store lady still argues that I'm 19 (god bless her), I'm every bit 30-something. I reassured her of that today... while whisking my brown paper-bag off the counter and strutting out the door with my trophy.
Sure, $25 down. I totally deserve it.

Yes, that' s Britney Spears on the toilet...
Everyone should know, pretty britney potties too...

So here I sit, chitlens in bed... and I ponder all the little things.
Have any of you seen Point of No Return (with Bridget Fonda)? I often find myself idiotically repeating the phrase to myself while faced with catastrophe... "I never did mind the little things." After seeing that movie, I too wanted to be one hot, bad-ass bitch working undercover spy ops.
*Sigh, grab a cookie*

In order for me to proceed with the rest of the evening, I need a download:

1. I had hoped to meet a friend for lunch today. Guess for one reason or another it didn't work out. I have to stop looking forward to things like that... I used to alway get stood up for lunches; and then they would say "let's do dinner instead... " And then they'd usually buy me breakfast the next day. I guess two meals instead of one is a positive though.
those were the good old days.

2. Red heads Dinner plan has me intrigued. I know after talking to her this afternoon that there will be no other attendees. I guess it would make the answer oh-so obvious if I knew more about her husband.

3. School Shopping- Alright, that came way outta left field. I hate it, had to let it out. No I am not one of those parents riding the shopping carts down the aisles like in that Staples commercial... I'm the one saying:
"Holy Shit, $5.99 for #2 pencils! Can you get these non-#2's for $1.99? Perhaps we can carve little #2's on the sides of them and fake those bubble tests out."
My eldest child loves shopping with me, I assure you.

4. I have been blessed the last few days to have the opportunity to lay faces to the names of some of my readers. I have yet to come across one I couldn't fall in love with... so many beautiful people out there... both in mind and body. I appreciate you folks for becoming (to me) more of a human being than a type-script... It is so much more enjoyable reading your material from day to day, being reminded that you all come from different standards, different beliefs, different walks of life... Have much love for you all.

5. Two of my blogger-friends (Ming, Gladiator... that's you) are having issues with content, which in turn has provided for some pretty thought provoking material. I asked earlier if the ultimate question was "to niche or not to niche"... I think that these players will find the answers in themselves... honestly, their day to days, refreshing viewpoints, and interesting anecdotes are enough for me.
I should be interesting to see what develops from there.
I'm fucking great with my content.

6. The sour cream container that gives you atleast 2 more weeks on that expiration date is a lie. Furthermore, A bag of cheese I bought last week doesn't expire til December. I don't think so. And the almighty question of why dairy products cause stomach upset is answered.

7. I have a submission coming due... that means writing - creatively.

8. All of these topics have been rather different than my usual... I feel strange, almost weird not writing about sex...

And now I must succumb to the dark side... I have two porn's to watch tonight, will try not to stay up too late. If they're good quality, this could be a late night. If they bomb, I have a guaranteed early night-night. Will see all in the morning *yawn*
