Everything can be qualified or the word of the day

Every morning JR and I sit down at the breakfast table to review our upcoming day, talk about the past evening, discuss our children's future or sometimes even our own. We talk about our upcoming car purchase like it is happening tomorrow instead of next summer. We talk about our finances like they are actually improving. We talk about our possibly Disney trip like we will really go and not decide that it is way too much money when we are already flying to Seattle over the Christmas holiday. We talk about our, our children's, my mother's health issues. It's all very meaningful and high-level stuff and this morning was no different.

JR: Nessa, you are so ladylike.

Me: She's a burper alright.

JR: She's more of a belcher.

Me: That's what I said, a burper.

JR: No, she's a belcher.

Me: What? You are now quantifying burps? Wait, that should be qualifying because you didn't put an actual number to burping synonyms. 

JR: Yeah, I am. It goes burp then belch than eruption?

Me: Hahaha. You know that I'll have to look this up, right?

JR: Oh course you will dear.

Me: The synonyms for burp are: burp, bubble, belch, eruct. I, personally, think that is out of order. If we are really qualifying burps it should be bubble, burp, belch, then eruct. The online synonym thesaurus doesn't qualify words.That is not in it's pay grade.

JR: Hahaha, eruct! That's a funny word. I'll have to use it in a sentence today

Me: Like; "What Tripper is licking right now makes me eruct in my mouth".

JR: *snort*... I've got to go to work now.

Join the fun, take a load off your mind, spew some randomness with the rest of the gang. Head over to see Keely for your cool Random Tuesday Thoughts button.

And awaaaaay we go.

According to news reports the recession has changed the way us Americans have chosen to spend our entrainment dollars or lack there of. In order to save money we have embraced family game night, staycations, and family dinners around the dining table. Just like our grandparents, we have learned to tighten our belts and enjoy simple pleasures.

That could explain why "dog dildo" was my top search. Why should we be having all the fun at home? Why not our dogs?

#4 made me wonder also. I know I live in the South (and no hate mail from those of you in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. In Houston, we are, geographically speaking, further south than you are.) but I don't think I've ever talked about "butt condensation" on this here blog. Well, sure, since moving here I've learned the meaning of the term but I haven't used it. I have a whole lot of other vernacular to describe the itchy sweat rash you can get around the legs of your panties down here but "butt condensation" doesn't even come close. I'm sad to say my language is a little saltier.

And, #18? Is Montel Williams peddling emulsifier on the shopping channel these days? Did I not get the memo?



Who in their right mind thought this would make a good confection? Did someone in some meeting think to themselves; "mmmm the smoky saltiness of bacon and sweet creaminess of chocolate would sure hit the spot right now."? Was it the pork producers or the confectioners? And do these two industries actually have meetings together?

I can just hear the brainstorming session right now.

"We need some new add-ins for our chocolate bars."
"Rice Krispies?"
"Been done to death"
"Carmel?"
"Borrring"
"Cherries?"
"Too predictable"
"Bacon?"
"What a brilliant idea! Bacon, brilliant I tell you. Tom, put together a focus group".

If you all could do me a big favor I'd surely be appreciative. Could you check out my work site? University of Houston Digital Library. If you like it great. I know it needs work because it is so vanilla. Later today I plan to sex it up. Anyway, what I'm going for here is page views. Google and it's damn algorithm is a big popularity contest and my site is not fairing too well. Sure it's only been live for a month but I'm an impatient mama. I want my baby to be at the head of the class. So please please please wander through it a bit. View 10 or 15 or 30 or all 600+ pages and I will come up to your house and cook for a week. (limit time offer. winner must provide airfare, food, pedicure and facial)

That about wraps it up for me. Let's review; staycations need to include adult toys for your dog, chocolate is better with bacon (ewwww) and a shameless plug for my work that will only benefit me. Yep, I'm done.

Have a great day everyone.

Love,
M
