Crazed Ramblings from my Mind:

Think I've just about finished writing thank-you cards for wedding gifts. Talk about a time consuming task. I got up at 630 yesterday morning and did that for 6 solid hours. I finally took a 30 minute break to play my One on None, then remembered that I had planned to pay for my fall semester classes and do the grocery shopping. So I headed on up to the community college I'll be starting in August and paid the bill. Stopped by the college bookstore too, but they aren't selling to people enrolled in fall semester yet. I did see some italian language books which sparked my interest. I asked the cashier if they ever teach italian, and she said they have in the past, but she isn't sure if they will again. I really hope so, taking a course in italian is something I've wanted to do for years.
Okay, I know the reason why places like Wal*Mart suddenly move items away from their long established spots. In case you're wondering, they do this to keep people looking for products, with the crazy idea that the person will see something they hadn't planned to buy and will toss it in the buggy too. It's called impulse buying. I call the idea crazy and annoying, especially since I spent an extra 30 minutes trying to find a jar of maraschino cherries. Walking around with my stomach growling and my temper flaring I wasn't a very happy consumer. Ah, c'est la vie.
Good news! Tonite, Matt is cooking supper! I could dance for joy. Or jump for joy! Or maybe even fly upside down while singing showtunes in a super nasal baritone for joy! Yay!!!

All the Crazy Stuff I Have to do Today

1. Call the nearest dentist and set up my first appointment in like, 10 years or so.
2. Clean the apartment. That's gonna take some time, trust me.
3. Finish up as many thank you cards as possible.
4. Send out emails to get people's addresses for the rest of the cards.
5. Find time to exercise. It's fun though, playing basketball, jogging/walking around the lakes, swimming in the pool. Enjoyable stuff like that.

This is from the Red Quote Book

2. The Communist Manifesto is not a good boat name--Ben Katz on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.
3. It's time to deploy the middle child--off The Tick. The cartoon version, which was hilarious. Why, oh why, did Comedy Central cancel those two shows?
4. Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in it's own way-- Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, first line.
5. I'm sorry my parents tried to eat you--Heifer on Rocko's Modern Life. Yet another cartoon cancelled before its time.

8. (Scene from an old Mad Magazine) C'mon! This is no time to quit! This is an important job! What happened to him? We been practicing all day and the poor kids fainted. He ain't had nothing to eat for three minutes. Three minutes! That's a long time for an Italian.
9. I think that's very sentimental. That's like burying a garbage man in the dump--Peter Falk in Robin and the Seven Hoods
10. I guess the only thing I'm gonna miss in this world is that poor old man and his hopeless dreams--Robert Blake in In cold Blood
