I wasn’t exactly planning to take a blogging vacation this week. It just sort of happened. It was a busy weekend and I never had time to sit down and plan out my posts for the week, which is usually a disaster for me. I don’t do well with the pressure of trying to come up with a post at the last minute. So I decided to take a short break.
But I’m back with some random musings…and a better plan for next week.
- Saved right next to the Random Musings Friday button in my picture library is a really sexy picture of Ryan Reynolds. Every Friday, when it’s time to write this post, I see that picture and it makes me smile. It’s a very nice way to start a Friday morning.
- J and I watched several episodes of Gold Rush on Discovery this past weekend. The guys on that show refer to the area where they dig for gold as a “glory hole”. They said it about 27 times per episode. And every single time, my mind goes to the dirtiest meaning of that term and I’m left picturing a truck stop men’s room somewhere. I wonder if the guys from the show ever think the same thing.
- In high school, I was a math geek. Not only was I good at it, but I really loved it. Solving math problems gave me a thrill. Oh how times have changed…because yesterday I had to figure something out that required me to solve a linear equation. I was completely blank. I stared at that equation for a good ten minutes without a single clue how to solve it. Luckily…there’s an app for that.
- Speaking of high school, while I was a huge fan of math, I was not quite so fond of religion. However, it seems the nuns left quite an impression. Certainly more than the math teachers did. Because I’m reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal (which I will write more about when I finish it) and it seems I have retained far more New Testament than I did math. Go figure.
And lastly…and quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve heard all week…
- Pat Sajak and Vanna White used to get drunk during breaks in taping Wheel of Fortune. That’s awesome. I’m going to spend some time this weekend trying to find some old episodes to see if you can tell if they are sober or not. Oooh…and maybe I’ll come up with some episodes where the contestants used to use their winnings to make purchases from the Wheel of Fortune showcase. Those are my favorites. There was always a ceramic dog for, like, $500 and someone would always buy it. Thinking back, I guess it’s not really a surprise that they needed booze to get through that mess!
Ok…now it’s your turn…grab the button above, link up below and tell me your random musings of the week…
Wow…on my second set of the 50 questions. I finally feel like I’m making some progress. 6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? It certainly wouldn’t be accounting! I’d have to say it would be helping people. I really like to help people. If I didn’t have…

I didn’t work Wednesday and I have decided that I love having Wednesday off. It really breaks up the week nicely…and makes it seem really short! I’m so excited for this weekend.

Dad came home yesterday! Two months after his accident, he’s finally done with hospitals and rehab. He’ll still go to physical therapy and doctors appointments, but he’ll be an outpatient. He’ll still go home every night. He was so happy to be home that he was even doing a little dance last night…wiggling his butt…

I’m not here today. I’m at From the Sidelines talking about the Giants and how they managed to get themselves into the NFL Championships. It was a little miracle. Make sure you stop by and I’ll be back here tomorrow.

2011 sucked. It really did. There wasn’t a whole lot of good and there were some things that were really bad. I was very happy to say goodbye to 2011. When 2012 started I had a good feeling. I predicted that it was going to be a better year. And so far…I haven’t been wrong. …

J lobbied really hard to get me to play hooky from work today. He begged…and whined…and pleaded. He made his case…wouldn’t it be fun to go to CT early and just curl up on the couch and watch movies all day? We could order in food and take naps and just relax. And I agreed…it…

I haven’t been around much this week…because I’ve been super busy crossing things off my 101 list! Here’s what I’ve done this week… 1) Send Flowers to Someone For No Reason…This was so much harder than I thought it would be. I had a really hard time with the “for no reason” part of this. …

So you know how Dad’s in rehab now and he’s started walking and he might get to come home in a week or so? Well, he’s working his ass of in therapy…but some of the credit for his recovery has to go to the rehab center. They have been amazing and I honestly believe that…
