Hi World,
Surprise!
You know how sometimes you get that little blogger tingle? When you know you have a great post idea and everyone is going to love it? It is practically already written in your head, you just need to get it down on paper (so to speak)?
This is not one of those posts.
This is a thumb-twiddling post brought about by a day when all my co-workers happen to be on vacation. This is a recording of every random thought I had today that I can remember. But if you read through to the end there are pictures of our vacation. No Cheating!
1. 7:00AM: If littleb sleeps 10 more minutes I can read five more pages…..so therefore….sleeping toddler X 10 min=5 pages=10/5=2. Two what? That makes no frickin sense, Chicken….
2. 7:10AM: Trader Joe French Roast is much cheaper than Starbucks French Roast but tastes like….Roast Kill….hahahaha. (Better stick to Trader Joe Iced Tea which is excellent)
3. 8:00AM: I don’t have to bring littleb to daycare today because BigB is doing it, can I get an Amen!
4. 8:40AM: If I spend the first hour of work reading articles which are all related to my industry, does that still make me a slacker?
5. 8:41AM: Magic 8 Ball says…..Definitely not.
6. 8:42AM: Is this my lucky day since Magic 8 Ball agrees with me? For once?
7. 8:45AM: Should buy lottery ticket.
8. 8:46AM: Chicken, you think every day is your lucky day. Get a life.
9. 10:45AM: Five consecutive articles claim that creative people will rule the 21rst century.
10. 10:46AM: Hey! I’m creative!
11. 10:47AM: Or am I overly attracted to articles that mention the word “creative”?
12. 10:48AM: I should get some work done!
13. 11:50AM: How come X, who says he can’t remember what was just said to him and makes me write it down is considered saavy, brilliant, and “on the mark”, and I, who share that very same quality , am considered flaky. hmmm.
14. 11:51AM: Oh yeah, X is busy thinking about IPOs, SaaSs and a bunch of other acronyms. I consult the Magic 8 Ball and can’t remember what all the acronyms stand for.
15. 12:00PM: Afternoon Delight. Peanut butter. Yay.
16. 12:10 PM: I like herbs. I wonder if I was a witch in a past life?
17. 12:11PM: Nah. If that was it, I’d be paranoid about fire.
18. 12:30PM: I wish there was someone here to talk to.
19. 12:32PM: Hey, I should take one of those classes on influential speaking. Must research.
20. 1:20PM: GG is trapped in a dungeon with old books and a bunch of spiders and she THINKS they are friendly.
21. 1:21PM: Must. Save. GG. Spiders are bad.
22. 1:23PM: GG. Walk towards the light…..Do Not Trust Those Spiders!!!
23. 2:00PM: I’ve seen elastic band balls before but how do you start one?
24. 2:01PM: Oh, look. I have all these elastic bands.
25. 2:10PM: Starting an elastic band ball is really much harder than you would think.
26.. 2:13PM: I’m going to make the best, the biggest, most colorful elastic band ball ever!!!!
27. 2:15PM: Must email all my friends and let them know.
28. 2:30PM: What? You people think I am joking????
29. 2:34PM: I love spreadsheets.
30. 4:00PM: So….I didn’t have to drop littleb off today and that means….I have to pick him up. Yikes. I gotta get out of here.
31. 5:00PM: Must go to grocery. What? Free doughnuts? littleb it is our lucky day!!! Must buy lottery ticket!!!
32. 5:10PM: Is watermelon a vegetable or a fruit?
33. 6:00PM: Watermelon for dinner. Yay!
34. 8:40 PM: Teenager who lives in the basement, I love you, but why come you are cleaning dishes now when I am trying to get littleb to sleep????
35. 9:00PM: Buses at night, when they are all lit up, look like time travel machines.
36: 9:30PM: S, I love you, but do I have to look at all your vacation pictures right now?
37. 9:40PM: Ok, S, I love your vacation pictures….they are awesome….I’m going to look at them while I have wine.
38: 10:00PM: Where did the day go?
38. 11:00PM: Whatever happened to those little troll dolls with the hair that stood straight up. They were cute.
39: 11:10PM: Must blog
40: 1:30AM: Can’t leave just 39 thoughts. Must have even number.
41: Scientists say that odd numbers are more attractive. Hmmm. Would you like to see some vacation pictures?
Chicken's Consigliere 
1. Math is hard.
2. Stick to Dunkin Donuts…it's what American Runs on…what are you a Communist?!?
3. Yeay for spousal drop-off!
4. No, that is not why you are a slacker
5. Hooray for Magic 8 Balls
6. Yes.
7. It's Friday the 13th…go for it.
8. Agreed. Get a life.
9. My sources say people who sleep their way to the top and sell their soul to the devil tend to rule the world.
10. Hey! I'm creative too!
11. No, but you are overly attracted to 80s hair bands and Chardonay
12. Why start now?
13. Because he has a penis.
14. Acronyms are a communist conspiracy.
15. Afternoon Delight must mean something completely different in the Chicken dictionary. (Peanut butter? Yay? I'm not even going to comment further on this one…)
16. I think you were a Native American in a past life.
17. Exactly.
18. I'm just a phone call away.
19. Thank god for the internet.
20. Poor GG
21. Spiders are people too. Well no, not really.
22. Agreed. GG, Walk towards the light…..Do Not Trust Those Spiders!!!
23. I have! I have no idea.
24. Step away from the elastic bands.
25. You're really giving me more credit than I deserve since I've never actually given much thought to the difficulty of elastic band ball production.
26.. You're special.
27. Checking email…apparently the definition of “friend” has been redefined in the Chicken dictionary.
28. Of course not…as these people are not your real friends. I would not have thought you were joking. I would have Fed Ex'd a box of elastic bands…multi-colored ones too.
29. I love powerpoint
30. Hooray for leaving work on time!
31. Hooray for free doughnuts! Plan to split lottery winnings with CB.
32. Fruit
33. Watermelon is delish with balsamic vinegar.
34. I got nothing.
35. Agreed. I often feel like I've traveled for decades on RIPTA.
36: Yes.
37. Share.
38: It didn't go anywhere. Pay attention and these things won't happen so much. Flake.
38. Rosanne (nee Barr) has them all.
39: About damn time.
40: If you say so.
41: hmmmm does that mean my head is more attractive than my hands because one is an odd and two is an even?
Vacation looked fun. Welcome back. I missed you.

CB, that's the best comment ever. You crack me up. I'm going to work on my elastic band ball tonight, so stop by. It will be extra challenging combined with wine consumption. Maybe we could even take a RIPTA ride.

QIMP-we are related. I'm pretty sure we were both not witches in our former lives, but something far more interesting…maybe daughters of Isis?
