Some Things Friday #26

Some Things I Love:

Having the self control to not go over and slowly torture the children who have been lighting gunshot-sounding fireworks every night this week from as soon as we get home until way past when those little asses should be in for dinner.

Sex and the City reruns on TBS. It's pretty damned funny waiting for the ridiculous voiceover edits. Plus, I am still in love with those girls. I can't help it.

That my husband, after listening to me whine about how everyone and their mother in our subdivision had wood delivered and sitting in front of their garages to build decks, said "aw, honey, do you want me to go get some wood and dump it in front of our garage so it looks like we're building one, too?"

New Diet Coke with Splenda.

Some Things I Hate:

That a cat with the equivalent of a water balloon swaying under his stomach when he walks is trying to strongarm me into feeding him early. I'm getting pushed, jumped on, tail-flapped, and stared down.

That I can't find out what happened with that crazy Carving Psycho on Nip/Tuck until SEPTEMBER now. GAH!

See-through shirts that don't appear see-through until you get to work...at a church.

Moldy grapes. Meaccchhh.

Some Things I'm Confused About:

I NEVER want pretzels, never EVER EVER. I shun them. That's right, shun. Until I get on a plane. And then all of the sudden, pretzels are little pieces of golden goodness and stealing my husband's little packet is my main objective. And I think, "why don't I ever eat pretzels? I should really get some pretzels when I get home". Never happens.

Why is America's Funniest Home Videos still ON?!?

THIS desperate attempt to save the American Idol fad.

Is it possible that men use sports as a mask for their deep-seeded love of intimate and public displays of affection? Ick.
