6.6.03 FRIDAY
FIVE FIVERS FOR FRIDAY

I love alliteration (and onomatopoeia, but that’s another day) and all things grammatically quirky.
Noticed a corny trend on most blogs that usually posts lists on Friday (and I don’t resist corn easily)
so here’s the inaugral lists:

5 COOL THINGS
1. Doggy clothing. see yesterday’s post
2. Baby Pet Names you can say in public. I like Punkin… November baby and all
3. Flirting friends and fun fantasy filled lunches, ( Told you I like alliteration) esp. during corporate hours with a “Wiz”
4. People who actually read my posts. That’s you!
5. The seven hours of sleep that I got yesterday. But not today …..

5 BLESSINGS
1. Linda Goodrich calling me out of the blue. Ahhhh, life’s long journey
2. My friend Renee and her ever diligence in calling and seeing me, esp. when her life is chaos - Good chaos though
3. A sweet thank you card for a great gift picked out by the hubby. Heather rocks
4. My husband, my dog. Foundation of my life, smile of my heart
5. My faith, my friends. Where you can always seek joy …..

5 FAVE WATCHED THINGS THIS WEEK
1. The Jack coming out episode - Dawson’s Creek. First he’s not gay and posing naked for Joey, next he is gay and having an explosive Ellen-style confrontation with his dad.
2. Stepford Wives - Daytime Movie/Oxygen. Katharine Ross rocks. Most memorable scene, when she sticks a knife into the robot of her best friend (some Kate Jackson lookalike)
3. A great testimony on the power of prayer in bringing someone back from a coma. - Marilyn Hickey and Pastor Jude Somebody on TBN Network. God’s profoundness is often in the littlest everyday things, but sometimes super miracles really touch the heart
4. Bathroom flooring made out of real individual pebbles - Designing for the Sexes/HGTV. the new ones without Michael Graves, he’s a bit tired
5. The Charlie’s Angels “Ass” Sequence - MTV Awards. The cheeks speak for themselves

5 DUMB THINGS HEARD OR INFERRED
1. Counseling is a waste of time. If I knew the person better, woulda ripped their head off.
Oh wait, that’s the only one this week, cuz it still makes me mad to think about it……

5 MISC. PREGGER/BABY THOUGHTS & THINGYS
1. Not only do they have nipple cream, they have plastic guards to protect the milk duds. Whoah, the power of plastic
2. Baby blanket snuggly. Blanket poncho that the baby zips into. Protects agains SIDS and makes them into the ultimate bean bag
3. Incandescent Lighting is better for babies than Halogen. It’s softer, soothing lighting and the bulbs are safer and don’t get as hot.
4. Bedrest = the okaying of ecological waste. Plastic cups and paper plates all the way. If you come to visit, feel free to bring some blue party cups with you.
5. God willing, Bobby and I are gonna be parents. Whoah…

a little quirky, a little profound, a lot irreverent …the lists/the girl - BRPG

6.5.03 THUR

My LOL moment. Give a girl time and a funny link from the hubby and cha-ching - dog clothes online. www.trixieandpeanut.com

I laid on BRO (bed rest oasis - the couch covered in a green furry blanket to prevent any more internet-surfing-chafed-elbow) for 15 minutes laughing my head off.

#1 reason to learn how to knit. Belle, you are in so much trouble.

Lu’s gonna kill me. She’s not been a fan of the animal-wear.
Who knows, this trip to Europe may have broadened her horizons.
In many more ways than this one….or so the email says.

I miss that girl.

6.4.03 WED

Ohhhh kay, talk about being a techie.
Got my ebay account setup, and I’m “watching” auctions now and just placed my first bid on some preggers books.
10 books with a starting bid of $5! Geez, talk about a bargain. The book that I really want is “Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy” and that book alone retails for like $10.95. Score! We’ll see how we do with the actual purchasing and whatnot. And one of the books I ordered on Amazon is shipping. Woohoo

Hmmmmm, keep an eye on me that I don’t become one of those insane internet/catalog/mail order shopping junkies.

There’s a great movie where this guy impersonates a shrink and moves into a small town, the name of which he chooses as his last name …. and Jason Lee is in it as a software company guru and the shrink guy solves everybody’s problems using common sense and he helps another patient using comic book therapy. I keep thinking Pleasantville, but that’s so not it….. (this is what it’s like when I try to describe songs too)

Babe, feel free to insert the name of the movie here: Mumford if you know what I’m talking about, you always do!

Anyway - One of the ladies had a house full of crap that she ordered and didn’t ever even open. And she would order two of everything just to be safe. Insert psychobabble about attempting to fill the hole with material possessions here.

Not to get all preachy, but the only way to get “filled” is through your relationship with God and the joy you seek walking with him. In between steps though, check out the bargains on eBay.
