Random Thoughts

- The power went out twice yesterday. TWICE. In one day! That's more times than I've endured the power going out in Singapore my whole life! Which is no times. Apparently some non-driving asshat drove his car into a telephone pole and we had to suffer for his stupidity.

- The second time, I was about to start dinner. As in I was holding the meat, about to throw it in the pot. So. Much. Swearing. It's times like these, I'm glad I don't have young children around me. Oh the delightful things they would hear.

- Funnily enough (only funny now because when it happened, nothing was amusing), when I looked at the hub's alarm clock flashing after the power came back on both times, it read 1:19. BOTH TIMES!!! Freaky!

- My sisters are on the same continent as moi!!! They're in NYC right now (Brooklyn, to be exact) and I'll join them tomorrow. I'm beyond thrilled. Not so thrilled that my middle sister has threatened to hug me so hard that I'll poop myself. But it'll be worth it :)

- I bought new pajama pants in small / petite. And I still had to take 4.5" off the bottoms of them. Being short is a lot of work, ya'll.

- I don't actually say ya'll in real life. I can do a Southern accent though... but my normal American accent is shockingly terrible. The hubs is about to start paying me to stop it.

- I went to get the mail yesterday and there was a spider in the handle. As in if I hadn't spotted it, I'd probably have been bitten. If it's the bitey sort of spider, that is. Thankfully my mailbox opens from both ends. That sounds dirty.

I would be freaked out over the clock being the same time; too weird! The line about the mailbox opening on both ends? Totally made my day! Enjoy your visit with your sisters.

OMG! Last week some big creepy spider was hiding in the handle of MY mailbox! Bastard! I had to stand in the road to get my mail and then for the next three days I managed to open the back without actually grabbing the handle...just in case.

Hope the person who hit the pole is ok.

I'm short too- I have a heck of time with length!! Have a great time with your family!!:)

Short = free fabric?

Ugh, it has gotten to the point where I hate buying pants because that = another chore. I even have to hem petite length pants. I hate how the definition of petite is always 5'3" and under, because that is still FIVE INCHES TOO TALL, NERDS. They should invent another size that's called "wow, you are ridiculously short".

Too funny! Thank you for the great laugh to start off my day. Hehe....that's some mailbox you have!

have fun with your sisters; I know you will!! Spiders, I HATE them. I would be getting the Mr Clean chemical spray out and giving them a free shower! (yeah, I know...it's mean and they're horrid. Tough.) or maybe the CLR (give me time, I'll equate the abbreviations to killing spiders...somehow....)
And be prepared for your sister...wear a diaper!!
