various and sundry things that have occured to me as a result of comments left on this site (but that I haven’t yet written about)
1. Elle Macpherson strikes me as odd. Probably very nice, but odd. I don’t think I could hang out with her.
2. I paid $6.00 for my beach bag. On clearance. In July, when it was still hot and I still needed a beach bag. Why does all the seasonal stuff go on clearance in the MIDDLE of the season?
3. My favorite pedicure color is red, although currently my toenails are pink, to go with my sandals du jour, which are fuschia.
4. The Wild Oats store in Albuquerque sells Crocs shoes. I want orange Crocs. We do not have Wild Oats in OKC. And yet I continue to live here.
5. I went to Catholic school through eighth grade. I spent all of sixth grade praying that God would call me to be a nun. Fortunately, that didn’t work out.
6. Bluefly is addictive.
7. Impetigo in your EYE? Yikes.
8. Are all the Anonymouses the SAME Anonymous? Or are there several of you? Come on, fess up.
9. Adria, are you still out there?
10. I think I need to swear more. Or less, I’m not sure which. Suggestions?
11. I said it before and I’ll say it again: a nanny AND a night nurse AND a babysitter? The Virgin Mary didn’t have THAT kind of help and she was raising Jesus (who I’m sure was a handful, don’t you think?).
12. I didn’t poison anyone with the baked ziti (but I will not be sharing the recipie).
13. I must be the only one in the world who didn’t go camping as a child–my dad believed in exploring the Great Indoors; he used to joke that a Howard Johnson’s with only one tv was as much ‘camping’ as he was willing to do.
14. I started to read ‘Slacker Mom’ and, quite frankly, was disappointed. I was good with the concept (LOVED the concept, actually) but the writing was . . . eh.
15. What, no one is dying to hear my theories about the Rise of the English Novel? Oh, I’ll be writing about that, don’t you worry . . .

Hey! I didn’t go camping when I was a kid! My parents did that exactly once when I was two and my brothers were 11, 13, and 14, and never did it again.
And I seriously doubt that I’d like camping, anyway. I mean, really, sleeping outside? And no room service?

2. Me too. And yeah, why? And why can’t I find a decent metal sprinkler anywhere?
4. Dillards, Base Camp (high-end gear store), Real Food Store & HALLMARK are selling Crocs here. Hallmark? I got baby blue ones. Love they. Love.
10. Oh, more swearing…. definitely. There is nothing funnier than listening to someone wax eloquent about a complicated topic and then hear them interject, “Oh fuck-me-runnin’ that ain’t right” in the middle of, say, a Very Important presentation.
14. “Slacker Mom”…. the title makes me want to look around my house for hidden cameras….
15. I’ll take your “Rise of the English Novel” and raise you a “Lifecycle of the Common Liverfluke” or a “Relevance of Art in Modern Society.”
And, fuck-me-runnin’ when did I become so chatty?

There are at least a few anonymous’ (just how do you pluralize that?). I just haven’t gotten current and started a blog of my own — hence anonymous. I never camped as a child and now with a husband who would like to camp and two children who would probably like to camp — ain’t gonna happen! Motel 6 is camping enough!!!

5. Say ten Hail Mary’s and call me in the morning.
8. If anonymous keeps coming back, please sign some initials.
10. Only if you are a)thinking it or b)finding it oh so appropriate. Sometimes you can drop the f-bomb too much, ya know?
11. Excellent analysis considering Mary gave birth to someone also known as the Alpha and the Omega. Try that on for some philosophical questioning.
13. You and dingo boy locked in the basement. Who DOESN’T go camping? That’s it, I’m driving down this weekend and we’re going camping!
15. Bring it on. I could use some good literary discussion to get my brain juices flowing again.
Ew.

Oh yes, I am still out here enjoying the hot summer days. I will send you a link to my blog. I do not think it is as good as yours or anyone else’s I have been reading, but hopefully, it will improve. The biggest challenge is having something good to write about and sitting down and doing it. Good ideas arrive when I am not at the computer.
talk soon.
