Random thoughts on a Friday

So it’s been over a month since I’ve written. First Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and I got all involved with helping. Then I got busy at work. Then Hurricane Rita came and scared the bejeepers out of us. We were lucky, no damage. We made it an adventure by camping out in the hall with games, flashlights and snacks. Then I got busy at work again. Seems like my life eh?
I wish I had something exciting to talk about but I really don’t I just wanted to touch base with everyone.
My daughter went to a movie tonight with a friend. A BOY friend…oh and his parents. I trust these people so don’t think I’m a horrible parent. This young boy is the only one who ever understood her attraction to The Nightmare Before Christmas. In Kindergarten he had his mother write down all the words to one of their favorite songs from the movie and he gave it to H. So when they found out there was another Tim Burton movie (The Corpse Bride) they both got excited. These two kids have been counting down the days until the movie opened for 3 months. The damn thing opened here on Sept. 23rd the same night Hurricane Rita hit. Can I tell you how upset these two were? So tonight they are sitting in a theatre just thrilled to pieces and I'm sitting at home trying to catch up on things computer related. Sounds terribly exciting huh?
I’m just happy to have an hour of computer time uninterrupted. The worst thing is….I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING TO WRITE ABOUT!!!!! Damn that writer’s block. What the hell gives with that?
Speaking of brain malfunctions…you ever have one of those days that starts with taking a shower and about half way through you can’t remember if you washed your hair or not? So you wash it again? What? You haven’t? Then what are you doing here?
Did I mention I’m a coffee freak? Well I am. I just love me some coffee. I’ll even drink the bad stuff. I’m sitting here right now drinking a cup of half caf with hot chocolate mix in it because we ran out of creamer. I know coffee snobs will shudder when they read that but HEY I can drink my damn coffee any way I want to. Salespeople at my last three jobs used to know to bring me chocolate and/or coffee if they wanted to get through the door. Sad but true, I’m a choco-coffee whore.
Well I need to get some work done, I just thought I leave you some lovely words to live by…..uh….well, hell…I forgot what I was going to say.

I'm glad Rita passed you all by, Junebug. I was mighty worried. I do that hair-washing thing all the time myself.
