Did you know?

...that if you fill your garbage disposal with egg whites and turn it on, it'll make meringue?

Yeah. I didn't either. One of my buddies always makes homemade noodles for Thanksgiving and, apparently, he needs about 5 dozen yolks but no egg whites. So in the sink they went.

Incidentally, he noted that water doesn't get rid of meringue. But Drano does.

Today was a good day. Spent about an hour on my Wii Fit. It reminded me that it had been 72 days since it had last seen me. Sigh. I promise, my Wii Friend, I will see you more often!

Meh Blechy...

We've been doing a bit of fall cleaning around the house. It was great until Sunday night when I realized that I was out of migraine meds and didn't have the case for the prescription (I had thrown it away in my cleaning frenzy) so I could go (well, Eric could go) to the all night drugstore. He was waiting like one of those little lost puppies staring at spaghetti through a window when our regular pharmacy opened up.

When he got home, my hand crept out from underneath the duvet to get the pill. I was feeling much better a few hours later when I woke. I was still light sensitive this morning, though.

I started off the day wearing my shades. I got too many Stevie and Elvis jokes (not sure about that one - it better not be a dig at my fat...) so I finally removed them. By lunchtime, I was feeling almost 90%. Yay.

Mental note: NEVER RUN OUT OF MIGRAINE MEDS.

The name is Shawn

Shawn Blair.

We went and saw Quantum of Solace, the new Bond flick, tonight. Well worth the money. I won't ruin it for you - I'm sure you've seen the reviews.

Daniel Craig. Whoa. That guy can wear little very well. *grin* Rawr...

My deep, dark secret...

Well, I guess it's not a secret any more if I'm telling you, right? Here it is...

I love cheesy movies. The cheesier the better. Red Sonja? Own it. Beastmaster? Got that one, too. Alan Quartermain in King Solomon's Mines? Yep.

It's not like I've hidden it or anything, I say defensively.

Looking at the drawers of DVD's that I have should clue a person in.

It can't be just me. I know it can't. Right?

All I need for Christmas is...

a GPS. I can't find my way out of a cardboard box. I have several requirements for the GPS: Bluetooth availability and voice activation. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm surprised these guys didn't end up getting Darwin Awards...

I love it.

What a week!

Whether you voted for the Democrat or Republican, this has been an historic week! I had reservations about both candidates, but did, indeed, vote. Heck, I figure if I DON'T vote, I have no business saying anything about who's in office.

I've been playing in camouflage all week. It's been pretty tiring, but I'm having fun with it. Some of the folks I used to play in camouflage with were here this week, so it's been nice catching up with them. One of them is moving to the area for at least a year so we went house (for rent) hunting last night. It was fun going from place to place. We didn't realize, though, that nobody would have yesterday's paper. Apparently, everybody and their brother had to save yesterday's newspaper. For a buck fifty, it should be printed in gold. Sheesh. She's got a good head start on finding where she would like to rent, so, any progress is good progress!

Eric is off to fetch my nephew from North Carolina so he can come and spend the weekend with us. Yaay. I haven't seen him since before he headed off to boot camp. I call him "little guy", even though he's about 6'5". Heh.

Things your kids teach you...

I'm sure you've all seen the emails that go around with the funny things that kids do. Here are a few that I've thought of. Feel free to add your own!

1. Apples do not flush down toilets.
2. You have to use a wet rag to remove toothpaste from cat fur. On the plus side, the cat has minty fresh breath for several weeks.
3. Baby oil is nigh unto impossible to get out of cat fur.
4. If adults say they feel poorly, they generally have time to get to the toilet to throw up. If children say they feel poorly, the next second they throw up.
5. VCR's cannot toast pop-tarts. Nor can they eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
6. DVD's are not frisbees. Neither are CD's.
7. Sliding across a hundred year old wood floor in socks is a bad idea.

Oh, I need to start posting some cartoons again. I've been awash with ideas the last couple of days. Nothing like training with other reservists to tickle your funny bone.
