This-n-That Thursday

It's been a while...
  • I don't like the word stimulus.
  • I wish AARP would leave me alone.
  • Have you ever seen a "pretty little thing" with a poor old man?
  • Should I renew my XM subscription?
  • I wonder where Olivia Newton John's "drowned" boyfriend really is.
  • Exactly how much is too much coffee?
  • Has anybody seen any nice red cowboy boots in their travels?
  • I actually gasped when I looked at my year end statement for my investments piddly stock account.
  • I wonder what would happen to me if I decided not to pay a chunk of my taxes.
  • When did Regis Philbin become a redhead?
  • Speaking of hair, are you aware that cat hair can form a tumbleweed? But only on a dark wood floor?
  • I had a dream that I was driving a school bus while wearing cross-country ski boots. What do you think it means?
  • The next night, I dreamed that I was an olympic cross-country skier, and my special technique was just like a speed ice skater.  A la Hans Brinker.

I always love it when you write this post.

I love the way you think. :)

Too much coffee is one of those urban myths, like too much wine or too much toilet paper. Or too much blogging.

No such thing.

I ♥ these when you do them...I can really relate...although never driven a school bus with ski boots...my dream last night was...getting upset with my hubby for buying some sort of generator for a mortuary we just bought and then he sent me to a McDonald's in the back woods to get him dinner and they closed just as I walked up to the window...
so we don't own a morgue{don't want to} and we live in the desert...no back woods here...dreams are sooooo wierd!

After meeting you, I now understand the randomness of this post. And the humor.

As far as the stock portfolio, can I interest you in some life insurance?

AARP hasn't found me yet. Thankfully.
Renew your xm. Go to channel 130 and listen to POTUS. They expose every corn and ingrown toenail that politicians try to hide. Fascinating!
I have not seen your boots. But I've been shopping online for shoes for 3 days, so I'll keep my eyes open!

Heres what you need to do...

threaten to cancel your XM. They almost always will give you a few months free when you do.

abb said...

Such deep thoughts...

Keetha said...

Sure, renew XM.

I've kind of wondered about Olivia Newton-John's guy, myself. Where is he? Where's he been and why?

Mrs. G did a post not too long ao with some rocking red cowboy boots.

Sandie said...

*Me either.
*AARP, what's not to like about discounts?
*Not since Anna Nicole.
*Yes. Renew.
*Good question. Maybe he's living the high life in New Zealand?
*"Too much" is overused as it relates to coffee ;-)
*YES! In a western wear store! (Don't ask what I was doing there though. Ok. I admit it. I was buying the boots! And that was many, many years ago.)
*Gasped? Just gasped? Your stock account must be in far better shape than mine.
*Big penalties and fines. Perhaps assets being seized? Unless, your married to a politician of course.
*Regis Philbin? He's still alive? ;-)
*I did know that. Did you know dust can form tumbleweeds too, especially under the refrigerator?
*If anyone can decipher that dream, I want to hear the answer. Where's Freud when you need him?
*LOL---do you love skiing? Or just crave a ski vacation?

*You crack me up.

Tony Lama? Boots opened on Broadway at 46 St ... next to the Jamba Juice place ...

Deb said...

Wow...you dreams are as crazy as mine...I had quite a few last night but cannot remember one.
AARP will become your new best friend.
Red cowboy boots...Cheyene, WO
Regis...hair color...I mean, come on!
Cat hair...I could knit a sweater from what I get from my 3!

Thanks Funny Girl! I needed to focus on something other than my work!

I was not aware of the cat hair phenomena, but know that a pug can turn a dark hardwood floor into what the hubster calls "semi-shag".

Treasia Stepp said...

Oh yes, I am very aware that hairballs look like tumbleweeds on dark wood floors. My vacuum sucked up many a tumbleweed the other day.

Expat No. 3699 said...

I beg to differ. Hair from dark colored cats form tmbleweeds on off white ceramic tile.

Big Hair Envy said...

Didn't you tell me that your children spotted ONJ's BF in Costa Rica?

What a fun post!

MamaGeek @ Works For Us said...

Somehow, I get this. The only other word besides stimulus that makes me shudder these days is 'octuplets'.

Hilary said...

Oh not only on a dark word floor.. anywhere they please.

Anonymous said...

Since your not a politician if you didn't pay your taxes they would find you and let you rot in jail...cause there seems to be two standards you know.

Unknown said...

Stimulis sounds like something to do with SEX...yep... WE'RE all getting screwed!!
loved your post today!

Country Girl said...

The snow boots are for stomping down kitty hair tumbleweeds. You can send them away on the big yellow bus, you crazy nut you.

Susan English Mason said...

I live in Arizona, I can get you really nice red cowboy boots any time! Yee haa!

As to the meaning of your dreams - You are break dancing in ski boots to train for the Ice Capades.

You made my day. I didn't know about some of those items.

I have been deprived of CNN and the internet due to our Arkansas Ice Storms (not to mention no shower for 8 days) I was suffering withdrawal symptoms so I am binging today.

littletoesandcheerios said...

Have you been smoking something with Michael Phelps??!! The last one is a dead givaway!

Egghead said...

Yeah well stimulus is fast becoming a dirty word.

Suz Broughton said...

I love t&T Thursday.
I wouldn't let my XM subscription lapse, unless you love Ryan Seacrest. He's all over the regular radio.
