...all those folders...
...of graded work...
flew
all over
...the backseat...
of
my mom-mobile.
I thought they were
...secured...
but
I
thought
wrong.

#272/365--From Friday

#271/365--GNO
...we took our friend, Jen...
...out...
...for her birthday...
...to McKinney Avenue Tavern...
...Big Al's Bar...
...in Dallas...
...to see Big Al...
...express our condolences to him...
...remember Kidd Kraddick...
and also
...for some karaoke fun...
...some things I learned...
...about...
-- Dallas-ites --
First.
...there are some really tall people in Dallas...
...and also...
Second,
I am intolerant
of people
who think
they are better
than me.
Dear Pink Sunglasses Boy,
I was not smiling at you because I thought you were hot. Quite the contrary. I felt sorry for you because you were too drunk to realize how idiotic you looked when you kept getting onstage with every young girl and how it appeared that you (to put it nicely) think very highly of yourself....when you ought not. You needn't give me that look of disgust...save it for yourself. Because in the real world, I wouldn't give you the time of day either. Smug, arrogant children are just not my type.
Dear Tall Gray Sweater Girl,
When someone says, "excuse me," it means move out of the way. I have to apologize because maybe you didn't hear me since you were extremely, much, way taller than me.
Maybe you thought I said, "look at me crazy" because it was loud and "crazy" has the same ending sound as "me" so perhaps that's why you gave me that look?
So, I will let it go. This time.
Third.
Apparently, Run D.M.C. can be upstaged
...by...
a 21-year-old
drunk
...twerking...
girl.
...who invented twerking, anyway...
...it looks like...
your butt
is having a seizure?
Please. Stop.
Because...
It's tricky to rock a rhyme...
especially with you
trying to steal
...the show...
But really,
the final thing I learned
...is what's really important...
I can have fun with my girls
-- in spite of --
taller
meaner
drunker
crazier
people
...because...
In the famous words of
...Kidd Kraddick...
"Keep looking up...'cause that's where it all is."
RIP, Kidd.
You were one wise dude.

I had
...fever...
...chills...
...and...
more
kidney pain
My mother is

therefore
I have a big supply
and
after some research
we found
that
...lemon...
is good
for kidney stones
...so...
...I have been singing...
U2
for a couple of days now
#259/365--College Day

...a little more...

#258/365--Nobody Asked You
In this little
...adventure...
that I have put
...myself on...
called
-- match.com --
I made it a rule
to not
contact
any guy
...first...
(with the exception
of "liking" a picture or
maybe
"winking")
That being said
...I don't even recall...
-- looking --
at this guy's
...profile...
however,
obviously
he looked at
...mine...
...and decided to offer...
...his opinion...
...go...
...away...
I didn't invite
...you...
anyway
My reply to you is
(as if you even deserve one)
"...Sorry, don't like jerks..."
later hater

#257/365--In the Toilet and Down the Drain
I wore my
...plumbing hat...
today
and
together, with my son,
unclogged the drain
in my bathroom sink
...then...
we worked on
fixing
...whatever...
the problem is
with my toilet
...I don't know if it's fixed...
I'm certain
...if it's not...
there will be
...future posts...

#255/365--Perfect
Picture this.
I am at my desk.
The kids are at lunch.
I have my head
...between my hands...
because
...well...
to say it nicely
...things at school...
...well...
...things ain't the way...
...they used to be...
...and...
I'm praying
(because
every spare moment
I have lately,
I'm talking to
The Lord)
...and in walks an
office staff member...
with
...a surprise...
...from a sweet parent...
...perfect timing...

#249/365--My Comedic Life
Got this in the mail today...
A) I haven't been building anything
B) I'm not the one who only painted 1/3 of the exterior of my home
C) I'm also not the one who mislaid the shingles
D) I didn't ask for a fire on Christmas Morning
E) I'm not purposefully having water damage,
for you see,
I could use the extra money
for pedicures
and new clothing
and a cute hair style.
F) It wasn't my dumpster parked out front for 5 months.
G) That wasn't my construction mess out there in the driveway...
H) Is there anyone out there 'cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe....
I) Is there a "God's Purpose for Dummies" book
...because I don't think...
...I'm getting it...

#246/365--Home Alone
Just one of those nights
when
I had to
leave
my son
at home alone
because
I had
"Curriculum Night"
at school
and my daughter
was
"shooting"
"shooting"
some sports event
...for yearbook staff...
when I got home
I found
...his mess...
...and it was good...
(spaghetti and meat sauce with cheese)
...did I mention...
he unloaded the dishwasher?
He's not so bad...
...maybe I'll keep him around...
...for awhile...
