Linens & Things, because I decided Fred needs a second set of sheets for his bed and I needed to look at the glass 9 x 13 pans, since one got broken yesterday (and as a side note, I’d redo my entire room in the white clouds on light-blue background motif, if given the chance). Oh yes, Robyn, good idea. And THEN I just HAD to stop by Wendy’s to pick up lunch (grilled chicken sandwich, side salad, large diet coke, for those of you keeping track at home), and THEN go to the bank on the way home. ‘Cause, y’know, banks aren’t BUSY or anything on the day before a holiday weekend. Goodness, no. By the time I got home, both my salad and sandwich were lukewarm, but my diet Coke was still ice-cold. And I did all that running around after spending 3 hours cleaning the house this morning. Which is an hour less than it took me last week. Go, me! So, I finished watching Hanging Up yesterday while Fred was on his exercise bike, and later as he was getting dinner ready, I groused “Meg Ryan goes out of her way to cut her hair in the least flattering hairstyles.” Not two hours later, I found that she and Dennis Quaid have split up! It’s like I did it myself, with the bitching about her hair. Dennis heard me and took a look and said to himself, “You know, that Bitchypoo is right…” Actually, according to TV Guide, Meg initiated the split, ’cause she’s getting it on with Russell Crowe. (I’d link to the article, but I can’t figure out the direct link) Also according to TV Guide (online, this is) 41% of Playboy fans would like to see Jenna do a pictorial, and 33% would like to see Colleen. Now, I subscribe to Playboy – why wasn’t I invited to vote? You know I want to see Rudy let it all hang out. Oh, yes. Speaking of Playboy, the most recent issue came in the mail today, with Darva Conger on the cover. This is the Darva who was so worried about her reputation, isn’t it? Well, she’s right smack-dab on the cover of Playboy with a blank lights-are-on-no-one’s-home look on her face. What a classy chick. And speaking of mail, I got a check in the mail today from Amazon, refunding the money for the auction I bid on in May. All I did was fill out their form about three weeks ago, and tah-dah! today in the mail, a check. They didn’t even ask for details, which makes me think perhaps I’m not the first one who had problems with that seller. I think it’s pretty cool that I didn’t have to jump through hoops. Have y’all heard the song “Steal my Sunshine” by Len? Well, go download it from Napster. I’ll wait. Now listen to it. Know who I thought sang the song the first time I heard it? Evan Dando and Julianna Hatfield. It sounds just like “It’s About Time”, at least it does in my memory. I’d better go listen to it to make sure… Hrm. Maybe it was “Drug Buddy” I’m thinking of. Anyway. Sounds just like them! Okay, I’ve yammered on long enough. Y’all have a good weekend, and a good 4th of July!]]>
