It's Random in Here

Here are more random thoughts that keep bouncing around my head.  I'm putting them down here to try to make room for some coherent thoughts:

• You know when you're going along, and then out of the blue, you start choking uncontrollably on your own spit?  I hate that.
• When you go somewhere where there is even a remote chance that you will remove your clothes (e.g., the doctor's office or clothes shopping - get your mind out of the gutter), you should carefully consider your underwear choice.  Believe me.  I've learned this the hard way.
• When wearing a long necklace, you should avoid leaning over near drawer pulls - again, the hard way.
• I told my kids to get themselves into bed for their naps while I jumped in the shower.  When I got out of the shower it was like Lord of the Flies in my house.
• I've heard people say, "Don't try to parent someone else's kids."  I disagree.  Please, feel free to parent mine.
• I have a lot of thoughts for blog posts that disappear about 20 seconds after I have them.  I bet they were good ones, too.
• The other day my knee hurt like there was a flaming knife sticking in it - and not in a good way.
• The other night I was being so lazy I picked something off the floor with my toes so I wouldn't have to move from my semi-reclined, seated position.
• I'm pretty sure I go to the beauty shop from Steel Magnolias. And, my hairdresser was the one who pointed this out to me.
• When it was reported that Lindsay Lohan cried on her first day in jail, it made me think of the beginning of Shawshank Redemption.
• I've been confused more times than I would like to admit over the fact that the most recent bachelorette's name is Ali.
• The problem with having a blog that your friends read is that every doofus thing you do elicits the comment, "You have got to blog about THAT."
