various and sundry thoughts

Various and sundry have always been useful words when I've been using my favorite word, random, too much.  More and more people are using my word and I can't have that, so various and sundry it is.  For some reason I feel like I should start this post old-school-narrative-Superfriends-style, "when we last met our heroine she was having  a couple of decent days…" then ominous music starts and you see that I'm tied to railroad tracks and hear the train whistle in the distance.  Okay, I wasn't tied to train tracks, but I sure have felt like it. 

The air conditioning went out in my house sometime Friday evening.   My brain has apparently been affected by the heat and I'm not feeling a real post today, so here are various and sundry thoughts.

The wonderful Mr. Fontanille (husband of my friend, the lovely Keva) came to my rescue today, fixing the thing that makes the AC cold and making this place habitable once again. 

I re-watched Swingers the other night and can't stop quoting the movie in my head. 

We're planning on taking Andrew to see Thomas Live! Something About Some Circus Comes to Town!  for his birthday next month.  I'm pretty sure this will make me want to shoot myself in the face.

I've decided someone needs to take out Dora, Diego, and Kai Lan on Noggin.  Damn shows are seeping into my brain making me accidentally learn Spanish and Mandarin.  Ni Hao my ass, Kai Lan!  And don't get me started on your best friend the koala — koalas don't live in China!  Hell, do you think I'm stupid, Kai Lan? 

Shampoo and body lotion placed on the hotel shower ledge makes me think it's shampoo and conditioner — it's not.

The 5 year-old asked me what the FBI is this afternoon.  I'm scared.

The hubs tells me a friend of his at some big company asked him if he wants to go work in Kuwait.  If he goes to Kuwait, I will start auditioning houseboys.  Houseboy requirements and qualifications will be posted at a date TBD. 

I love Jon Favreau.  I want him to act more. 

I've had a dull headache for three days.

Sometimes you have to hit the "hide" button on Facebook friend.  You really don't need to use the F word on every status update.   I'm just saying. 

I was THAT mom today at swim lessons and was asked to stay out of sight at swimming lessons by the instructor. 

Hummus would be really good right now.

Someone honked their horn at me at a red light today.  Where was I supposed to go?

I got a paper cut at the hotel and touched no paper apart from the receipt I signed. 

How can I tell if my bassett hound is depressed if she always looks that way?

The five year-old saw two dogs on the way into the subdivision this afternoon and exclaimed, "look Mom! that dog is giving the other dog a piggy-back ride!"  I nearly spit Coke all over the dashboard.
