Weird Wednesdays

I've been sitting here all morning trying to come up with something interesting for my first installment of Weird Wednesdays. PPPPPFFFFTTTTTttttt... That's the sound of my brain farting. I got nothin'.

Even desperate pleas with my family and friends gave me nothing, although my cousin, who is on her first day off since last Tuesday gave me list of ideas but still, nothing.

Although the "Why I'm Glad I'm Not a Hoarder" suggestion has been moved to the top of the pile.

The only thing that popped into my empty head was "Strange Things My Kids Say Without Thinking First" and "Things I Need On a Daily Basis to Survive." Lucky you. You get both.

While walking through the pet store on Sunday we decided to peruse the aisles to kill some time. We took a stroll down the Guinea Pig/Hamster/Gerbil/Other Small Disgusting Animal aisle when my son stops dead in his tracks. "Mom, we need one of these." He reaches up and pulls a Guinea Pig/Hamster/Gerbil/Other Small Disgusting Animal water bottle down and hands it to me. "Bub, why would we possibly need one of these? For the cats? 'Cuz they have a water dish." Bub's response? "The fish might get thirsty." My wonderfully brilliant big-hearted son was dead serious. "Um, Bub, let's think this over quick. Do fish REALLY need a water bottle to drink from?" I finally see the lights come on. "Ooooooooooh! Duh. Fish don't have tongues anyway. How would they lick the end to get the water to come out?" Sheer brilliance.

Coffee. I am useless without it. My loving mother went on a weekend vacation with a friend last summer and brought me back this. My entire family is obsessed with coffee. I'm pretty sure there's a field of beans named after us somewhere in Columbia. When I first met Kel he wasn't really into coffee. Over the last 15 years I've brought him over to the dark side. Now he can't function without his wake-up of a double espresso.

C.S.I. Well, as long as it's not, C.S.I.... *puts on dark-mirrored sunglasses* ...Miami. YYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Sorry. Had to do it. That's one thing I'm going to miss when I'm finally welcomed back into the workforce. The all-day C.S.I. and C.S.I. New York marathons every day on SpikeTV.

Well enough rambling. Anyone else have any other helpful ideas to rid my brain of the fartz? Suggestions are always welcome. If I don't get suggestions it's going to be a very VERY uninteresting rest of the week. Except for the Hoarders thing. I think I'll save that for Friday....
