Friday Night Leftovers

I'm trying something new this week--I am participating in Danifred's Friday Night Leftovers. (Thanks to Carrie for the idea!) The premise is to "write out all the random thoughts swimming in your head that don't quite constitute a blog entry of their own." Now that is something I can do. Plus, I get to use bullets! :-)

• I had the strangest thing happen to me last night. I often like to click on people's sidebar blog lists. Last night I had clicked through a chain of six or seven blogs before I stopped dead in my tracks. I hit on a blog from someone in my hometown! We're talking a blog of someone who lives less than 2 miles from me. The post was about how they were moving to a new city--mine--and talked about the house they were buying. The whole thing freaked me out, and I had to click away. It was like some strange version of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game. While I realize that I am only pseudo anonymous on this thing, I really don't want a whole lot of IRL people finding this space and reading my thoughts.
• Hey, speaking of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, I am only THREE degrees from Kevin. :-) I was an extra in a movie with Michael Easton -- who was in Coldfire (1990) -- with J Cynthia Brooks -- who was in She's Having a Baby -- with KEVIN BACON! How cool is that? I am like almost famous. You can play around with this game by going here.
• The boys have PT on Fridays, usually from 2:30-4:30. Today, she came early, so I had the afternoon off. Whoot! I went to happy hour with some girls from work and had a great time just talking and laughing. Ahhhhh...it was so good for the soul.
• Our district's server was infected with a computer virus on Wednesday afternoon. That meant that all computers had to be off the network while they were working on it, so I was without a computer for two and a half days at work. I almost lost my mind. I was so excited when the finally let us back on today.
• Is.aac is driving me up the wall. I think he is PMSing. It is funny how his PMS symptoms seem to coincide with the last week of my cycle. He goes back to normal about a day after I start AF. Strange, huh?
• I am on CD 27. I should start tomorrow. There is no sign of the usual spotting that normally accompanies my period. Sigh.
• I need to go take my boys to have their pictures professionally done. They have never been. When they were little, I didn't want to expose them to the germs. Last year, I was going to try to have them done, but when we got there Sh.awn lost his shit, so it didn't happen. Now? I don't really have any reason to not take them. It makes me feel a little weird to not have them--like I am a bad mother or something because I haven't spent outrageous amounts of money at Kinder Photo or Sears.
• But taking the boys to Sears would probably just annoy me. I might want to correct the photographer or take the camera control from her to do them myself. Maybe a place like Kinder Photo would be a better idea.
• Why do the Olympics start at 8 and run to past midnight? It would be so easy to start at 7 and end at a decent time. As usual, I am watching the Olympics while I type this. Thank goodness I am good at multitasking or NOTHING would get done!
• The luge doesn't seem like a very fun sport. Is it me, or do they seem to tip over a lot? Sliding down an icy track on my head just isn't my idea of a good time.

All right. That is enough for now. I could write these thoughts forever at this rate.

My Sock It To Me post is coming tomorrow...
