1. The chillers in the tall, high-rise building which I plant my ass for what seems like 20 hours a day, are down. Until Friday. It was 95 degrees here deep in the south of Texas yesterday. I am sweaty and really, really sleepy.
2. These cakes...
These are all birthday bakes created for children under the age of 4. I went on the internet yesterday looking for some ideas to make the two, TWO! cupcakes for the girls special and I found these. And now? Well let's face it, you know me, I know me, I want TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS and I can't because I've made a pact that I won't be freaky overachieving mom. It's haunting me People. DO YOU SEE THE AWESOME DRAGON?!
*twitch*
3. The economy and the fear of what could happen, what will happen.
4. My disappointment in the House and Senate to act on our behalf.
5. Bush. Fucker.
6. Gingrich. Douche bag.
7. That my Wii turned my Mii into a little snausage when I got Wii Fit and it weighed me.
8. David Duchovny will recover from his sex addiction prior to my taking advantage of it.
9. That I'm starving this morning but that damn little snausage Mii is stuck in my brain inhibiting me from eating the cheeseburger I am obsessing about it.
10. Agnus the cat keeps locking us out of our house. There's a sliding glass door, there's this long metal rod that is the glass sliding door's security and she keeps bumping it intentionally to lock us out. Then she sprawls in front of the sliding glass door and suns herself while looking at us, occasionally pawing the glass. I believe she's doing this because she's PISSED about the whole 80-lb dog invasion.
11. I am 40.
12. I need a vacation, an actual real vacation......sans child, and yet I cannot even fathom leaving her for any length of time.
13. The glass on my iPhone cracked in what can only be described as the most insanely ridiculous accident EVER. I was in our atrium and the phone slipped out of my hand, going through the slats of the park bench THEN through the even smaller slats of the wood deck. I had to take one of Mark's swords (oh yes, we are the owners of many medieval weapons. What? You don't collect?) and nudge it centimeter by centimeter to the edge. And now there are three hairline cracks. The repair costs as much as a new iPhone. YOU SUCK APPLE!
14. I want a new tattoo. I want a dragon (are we seeing a pattern here?) I have researched and researched Chinese dragons (Johnny, I'm going to have to ask you cease rolling your eyes) and I'm ready! Only I trust no one to do it except my brother-in-law, who is in Arizona.
15. And finally,
Just in general. Annoying.
Dude,
My Castle cake was so much better than that!

You cant have those cakes, one must not start at the top.

Actually, you should see my husband's double headed axe (and no, that's not some creepy inuendo).

So go visit him in Arizona and have it done. And maybe stop in Colorado Springs on the way through to see your sister and her boyfriend. You know, the one you haven't seen in forever? And calls you but always gets your answering machine?
YEAH! I like that idea.
