Another Edition of Drive By Blogging

Greetings and Welcome to another edition of Drive By Blogging brought to you by Too Much To Do and Not Enough Time.

- I call going into my son's room to clean, "Going into the Belly of The Beast". Do you have nicknames for certain parts of your house or chores?

- Sometimes when I set out to do housework, I hear the soundtrack to Mission Impossible or James Bond in my head. Not sure what this means.

- I am getting into Triage Housework Mode in anticipation of next week's visit of our Niece and her husband from New Orleans. This totally makes tidying up Worth IT!!

- Most healthcare providers grossly underestimate the therapeutic value of allowing the patient and family to vent. So, Doc, shut up and listen, and Family members, please be prepared and bring a list of your concerns. Thank you.

- Photo memes are great, it's a wonderful excuse to show off pictures and exercise my love of photography. Plus, minimal wordsmithing is required.

- Which brings me to my next bullet point, some bloggers profess a difficulty confining their posts to less than a THOUSAND WORDS!! I have trouble writing over 100 words and no, I have no interest in twitter, already overconnected with communication devices. Plus, I suffer from "Passworditis" which is the inability to create or remember anymore Passwords.

- I am on a total music nostalgia kick, enjoying the songs of Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Partridge Family. Thank you in advance for your concern and no there is no Cure for loving the "I Think I Love You Song".

- The State of California has problems galore but you can't beat the Mexican food.

- When I asked our youngest son this morning to brush his hair before he left for school, he said, "Why bother? It just gets messy again."

- I feel that way about housework and laundry, but back to it I go.

What have you been up to this fine May Day? Thank you.

Drive By Blogging

Drive by blogging is for those times when I don't feel qualified, inspired, have enough time, etc. to complete a full sentence, paragraph, post on a cohesive subject. (It is important that I post something so I can make the photo of the world's ugliest cake from my previous post go away, well at least to the bottom of the screen.)

So here are a few random thoughts in lieu of a real post-

- I don't like thinning seedlings in my garden. I know it's necessary and all that, but it feels a little like being the executioner, deciding which plant lives and which is sacrificed for the common good of the garden plot.

- Why do people who work at restaurants give you so many packets of condiments? I have never eaten Hot Mustard for a second time, but I have enough to open my own Chinese Restaurant. Same thing with the hot sauce. It's like they can't help themselves.

- From now on, I am just giving toilet plungers as housewarming gifts. Plungers are the best present on the planet for any homeowner. Forget the bottle of wine or flowers, a powerful plunger will be appreciated for years to come.

Please share any randomness that you would like and Thank you!
