Melange, Redux

1. John McCain just may have a shot at this thing. Choosing Sarah Palin as a running mate? Brilliant. Heck, I wanna hang out with her and have target practice. We could start with this guy:

So Far

So Far today I taught piano class, met with the freezer repairman (who isn’t sure what the problem is yet), and attempted to burn the house down for the umpteenth time. I am sitting on the sofa with doors and windows open in the 86-but-feels-like-250 degree heat, fans running, trying to let the smoke clear. [...]

One of these days y’all are gonna hear about a woman dying of a stroke behind the wheel of a pickup in GA, and you’re gonna know it was me. It was I. Oh, heck. WHATEVER. I am 90% convinced my road rage is gonna be the death of me.

A Giggling Moron

Ok, maybe not GIGGLING, but definitely BABBLING. And not in a good, brookish sort of way.

The Puzzler

OK, I have one for ya.
You’re checking out at a major retail outlet. While you’re standing in line, your nostrils are hit with the overwhelming smell of dog poo. Since you have JUST smelled it, you know it’s not you. You assume somebody cut one in line ahead of you, but no, it’s much, MUCH [...]

Party Animal

The party was a blast. We sang, we played Cranium, we ate, we laughed. I was very happy with the few people who showed, and even more happy about a few who didn’t, so it was a fun night. everybody was such a good sport with the karaoke, and everybody joined in the game. Those [...]
