Ten Things You Like to Do Alone
(I wasn’t sure if the topic meant “things to do while I AM alone” or “things I don’t want anyone else around for”…so, it was actually hard coming up with a list!)
Probably not surprisingly, I have very little alone time. I hardly ever even get to pee without an audience!


I forgot to post a song yesterday for Music Monday, so I decided to tie it in with my 7-YEAR BLOGGING ANNIVERSARY, which happens to be TODAY. Yes, I started blogging, way back on what became lalablog.com, on April 24, 2000. I’m almost glad those blog entries are no longer online - I was reading through some of them on my hard drive a month or two ago, and holy crap! Some of them were so depressing, I’m surprised I never inspired anyone to write bad poetry.
Yay for better days, better husbands, and a better outlook altogether. And here’s a song for you!

So precious, I can hardly stand to look at them.

Well, did you watch it?? I’m talking about HEROES, of course! We’ve only been waiting a month and a half for it to come back on! What a super episode it was! Sort of annoying though, because you know how this series goes: they wrapped up a whole bunch of crazy stuff tonight, and for the next two episodes they’ll drag things out forever. Oooh, and I was SO happy when Peter bitchslapped Silar! HATE that guy!
And did you watch that new show Wedding Crashers? I thought it was so funny! Cruel, but funny. I actually felt really sorry for some of the people they were pranking, particularly the guy who was made to think he ruined the wedding gown. I think that guy had to actually spend a whole day or two agonizing over it and feeling horrible guilt! All in good fun, though, right? And I loved the guy hitting on the old grandma! She seemed into it, too!
Paul pointed out that it’s the kind of show that can only last one season, though - in the future, whenever things go wrong at a wedding, all the guests are going to be looking for the hidden cameras!

My kids are driving me insane. IN. SANE. Thank GOD they’re all “napping” right now. Why is that in quotes? Because two of them are napping, and two of them are jumping up and down in their beds, having a screaming contest. Y’know, just for the hell of it. And prior to naptime, we had twenty minutes of playing in the backyard, with about fifteen minutes of bickering over the Little Tikes cars and the swings. Children, please! You’re driving mommy to drink!! It’s only MONDAY, FFS. We can’t be having this sort of exasperating behavior until at LEAST Thursday.
I’m all thrown off anyway, because my computer’s acting wonky, and I had to sit down at Paul’s computer instead - without all my stored passwords and bookmarks; gahhh! I need to get up and run around and get some stuff done. My children may be insane little hellions, but at least we’ll be living in a clean house.
