Disjointed thoughts

So, I was driving home and the lady in front of me was swerving quite a bit.  I finally figured out why...she was driving on a donut spare on one side.  Stupid!  Those things are to limp you along to a tire shop, not for doing 65 on the interstate!  Sheesh.

I got home to a wounded dog.  It seems the ol' guy took on a dog tougher than him this time.  I think his ego is hurt more than his leg.  He's used to being the tough guy, and he got his arse whuppedLOL  Poor dude.  He's actually fine...just a couple of superficial scrapes on his back leg.  No limp or anything.

American Idol is on again.  It's such a train wreck.  I usually don't watch this early in the season, but what else is on?  The girls and I have gotten some pretty good laughs out of it.  Who are the parents of these people?  It's good to build the self esteem of a child, telling them they sound great. 

However, the day before the American Idol auditions, it's time to get honest.  "Honey, your father and I love you very much, but you don't have the voice for American Idol, and I don't want you to get hurt."  Is that so hard?  Maybe we're just more honest with our kids than most folks.  Who knows?

I don't wear jewelry.  Would I wear it if I could afford it?  I doubt it.  I lose watches, break necklaces, am allergic to earrings, and I've been known to be injured by rings.  Don't ask.  I think I would stay simple, even if I could afford it.  I'm not sure, though.  Some folks have such huge rocks on their hands.  I'm not girl enough to be jealous.

I also only own 3 pairs of shoes:  Tennis shoes that need replaced, snow boots (new this year!) and "girl shoes" that I wear at convention.  I no longer own any dresses or skirts.  Ick.  I am a jeans and T-shirt girl.  I'm almost a dude, I've been told.  Pass the beer.  --buurrppp--

OK, back to Idol.  What has the world come to?

I don't wear much jewelry, either.  My ears swell up if I put in earrings, and i hate wearing rings (I don't even wear my wedding ring)... so usually it's just a necklace... as long as it's a short amount of time.  Otherwise, I itch.

Give Hawkeye an extra lovin' from me....

and hey...I still have corn.  :-D
