Random Tuesday Thoughts - Vacation Brain


Visit The UnMom for lots of random thoughts.... I have poo for brains this week already, we just got home from vacation....
  • It IS possible to.... need to buy a new laptop cord ($109.95) because yours suddenly quits working, have your airbag light on your almost paid for car (4 payments) come on for the first time EVER, and to spill almost 1/2 a cup of apple juice on your blackberry!!! ALL in the same day!!!! But, it was no biggie - replaced the cord, ignored the light (for the last 15 years I've work in some part of the auto industry, so not worried about it, no emergency), and took the blackberry straight up to my blow dryer.... and it seems to work fine!! This was ALL right before we were leaving for the beach on Thursday. Irony.
  • We had wonderful weather at the beach this week and couldn't have asked for a better vacation!!

  • I need to buy a can of air, but I'm putting it off because I just think it's dumb. Buying air. Overall, I do need it to clean my laptop keyboard on both of the laptops... but still, doesn't it just seem weird to buy what should come naturally?? Kindof like having to pay for bottled water, I'm still getting over that one. At the mall recently, I asked for a bottled water, and I was given two choices, a 12oz Fiji for 4.95 or a 20oz g-brand for 1.95....seriously, why even give me the option? 1.95 please.

  • Today I took the boys to Friendy's, and the waitress was so surprised that my 3yo did NOT want his free icecream after his meal.... ???? So I had the scoop of icecream (strawberry, yum) and he ate the little candy pieces (M&M's) that went on top. He doesn't like any icecream except for Edy's Dibs. I did NOT enjoy the icecream and ONLY ate it out of obligation... because moms do that sort of stuff..... *joking*

  • My cat is loud.

  • I just got home from vacation, and I'm already trying to plan our next getaway!! I'm loving that we planned mini-vacations for this summer and a trip to TX this fall!!

  • I have nothing witty or even remotely interesting today.... I'm living on vacation brain, and a sugar high.

  • ....oh, I do have something to add, the 3yo managed to get boo-boo's on both hands this week, and here's the funny picture we took (bad quality, random shot)..... for anyone unaware that he's showing us his boo boo's, it looks like we're terrible parents, eh?

Can of air? That is wrong! Think outside the box. Get your leaf blower out? Bahhahaha Don't forget to take pictures.

I don't understand buying air, either... But I do it. It's just so handy! Maybe next time I'll get an old Capri Sun straw and blow as hard as I can.

Ouch on the boo-boos but funny the location. Don't you hate days that involve using your brain in ways it's not supposed to be used? Like having to think about the computer cord along with how to dry the Blackberry are things that don't happen everyday.

Thanks for the great laughs! You have a swell sense of humor.

I'm glad I'm not the only one whose kid waves that finger around at... for the exact same reason. Go figure. :)

Glad you had a good trip. I hate buying air too.

Oh, the beach sounds great! Luv it, but it's june here & still using the heat in the car in the am! Happy RTT & mine's posted too!

It's probably a good thing you spilled the apple juice before you went to the beach...rather than at the beach and had it attract sand... ;) I anticipate miscellaneous stuff happening like that right before we head out on our trip to Louisiana next week...Murphy likes to stalk me with his Law sometimes! ;)

I'm with you on the buying air in a can - it's a necessary evil...I totally would have opted for the $1.95 bottled water, too! :)

Off to check out your beach pics - happy RTT a day late! :)
