I'm pretty much stream-of-consciousness blogging today. Forgive me for the random thoughts that plague me.
- I really am done with all the road construction in Chicago and their random switching of the merge direction. I'm just done with it and it isn't fun anymore. Wait--it never was any fun--I forgot.
- Can I just say that there are gonna be some real sorry dudes at the high school Saturday night? Many have hinted, but none have asked the cutest girl in the hottest dress to Homecoming. Fools.
- Has anyone else noticed their toilet paper flailing around the roll lately? I finally realized that they shaved a good 1/4 to a 1/2 inch off the width of the roll to save money. WTF?! Now if I can shave a good 1/4 to a 1/2 inch off my butt.
- My neighbor has the biggest freaking mouth. I can hear him clear inside my home--and that is on a quiet day.
- I love my physical therapist. Who else would rub your hurty butt until it doesn't hurt anymore? Now if I can only get it to stay unhurty.....
- We caught 2 more raccoons, one of which was so big that he filled the trap with his gigantor body. And while it made me feel bad, it was nothing compared to the young one we caught the next night. I have major guilt....I'm just sayin'.
- I miss Colin....and his friends. That means you, Taylor T.
- I have one more week with my favorite French intern at work. Gees, I'm growing tired of good-byes. I wonder if Paris could stand a visit from me and Irene?
- I'd like to kill Sirius radio....or Joe. My husband comes in every day, sing/humming the latest tune he heard on the radio on his way home from work. Wouldn't be so bad except he only knows like 2 or three words.....that he repeats endlessly. The missing words are filled in with "uh, huh, uh, uh, uh". Imagine this: "Cal-i-for-nia Girls, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh". Yeah/no. I may have to kill him.
- Bummer. I lost a follower today. Okay--who bailed??! Does that drive everyone else nuts too wondering about that?
Whew! Got that out of my system.

My mind seems to be working in the same random pattern as yours today. Maybe different thoughts running through but can't quite stick to one thing. The TP thought gave me a laugh. I'de like to shave a 1/4 to 1/2 inch off too :)
And yes, drives me nuts when I lose a follower wondering who it was
I'll tell you what would have driven me nuts....leaving the house without figuring out where that snippet of song lyric came from. But I got it.
I'm out of sorts this week. But it has to do with still looking for a job/waiting to schedule an interview that was promised for next week/the week after. This is IT, the interview for the job I really WANT, not the jobs I applied for because I thought I could do them and they wouldn't be too irritating. Its hard to wait.
It's Tuesday, that gives us license to be random!
I'm tired of the construction and the constant changing of traffic patterns on 355. It's downright dangerous and I've missed my exit several times because of them.
My neighbor can beat your neighbor in loudness. Drummer Boy aka Metallica-head not only drums badly, plays electric guitar badly, and blasts XRT until my ears almost bleed (with all my doors and windows closed), he is constantly yelling at his dogs.
Your Homecoming Dance is this weekend too? Come check out my son's new "do" on my blog.
Sounds like you have Sirius envy. You know they make aftermarket units for your car. Why don't you ask for one for Christmas or go treat yourself? Then you can walk in after work boogeying and singing. Maybe he'll get the hint.
Wasn't me who bailed.
I love your random thoughts! :D
"Cal-i-for-nia Girls, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh"... LOL! LOL! You are just too funny, Lin. My son sings this song all the time... I hate it!! Grrr!
Don't fret about losing a follower... you'll get new ones soon :)
My mind wanders too...and my body drags.
Homecoming is this weekend, already?
Don't sweat the lost follower ust means they were no fun to play with.
Haven't caught a raccoon but I did catch some groundhogs. Felt bad for the little guys too.
Yes, I feel bad about losing a follower too. Once I think it was because I posted a pic when I saw Obama - whoops!
The beginning of the week, lousy weather here, and I...like you.... have lots to grumble about! Lets hope things pick up by Friday!
..and I know the first two lines to a thousand songs; but I don't know any song all the way through.
At least Joe comes in singing! cyb
Great random thoughts. And I hate it when someone bails. They should send you a polite note that informs you that you suck and they have moved on to more interesting bloggers.
At least I would not have to wonder.
Hmn...didn't think about the TP thing...BUT, makes me mad. I'd love your PT too- a good butt rub is wonderful hurty or not! Glad to hear your getting the little guys out of your backyard, sad yes, but it'll make it safe for hobbesey poo. AND...isn't it weird when you loose a follower? You're like, I didn't change, what did I do??
Where do the frogs go in the winter? Who's the girl? The only thing I notice about the toilet paper is that it leaves bits in pieces in places - I hate Cottonelle, and no, I didn't buy it my husband does. Men don't have as many places for bits to get stuck in. I don't do the "follow" thing. I just put folks in my reader or on my blog roll - or both...Yes, it does seem like a random sort of Tuesday...
Sorry about your hurty butt.
Boys are dumb at that age. I haven't figured out when they get smart but they are especially dumb at that age...
I always assume an un-follower just couldn't keep up with our daily awesomeness. That must have been the problem with yours.
Girl, get your ramble on! I know there are times when my thoughts are flying around in my head, hitting against my skull and I just have to get them out!
Shame on the guys that hinted and were too chicken to ask your cute baby to homecoming. I hope they will all line up to ask her to dance and then, she'll be the one choosing.
Ann--I just read my comments and I realized what a downer I was today! Yikes. Well, I'm glad you laughed at the toilet paper. :)
Shieldmaiden--Katy Perry sings the song. Well, she and Joe, but Katy at least knows the words! Oh, I'm saying a prayer or two (or three) that you get the job!! Please let us know how it goes.
Lola--Drummer Boy definitely wins, hands (sticks??) down! If he is listening to XRT shouldn't he be called Drummer MAN?? Kids don't listen to that station, do they? I'm working on Sirius for the house, Lola. And you are right--I AM envious!
Nessa--Isn't that song lame?? I think that is what drives me crazy about Joe singing it! I really hate that follower total--why do I even pay attention to it???
Jodi--Yep, homecoming is here...with or without a date. Girlfriend looks GOOD in that I-paid-too-much dress. :)
Jennifer--Oh, it could be something really silly, even if they blogger quit blogging or something. Whatever. I just hate that number because I can't help but notice if it goes up or down.
Hot Rocks--Man, I didn't realize what a bummer I was until I re-read my post! Yikes. Sorry for being the buzzkill, Rocks. Tomorrow will be more upbeat...I promise! :)
Vanilla--Sure he sings, but it ain't good singing, Vanilla! It's sort of the Muzak version of everything. :)
Highway--I guess maybe it is best that I don't know who it is, right? Cuz then I'd be all "But WHY did you leave? Don't you like me? Was it something I said???" It's just so pathetic, isn't it??
Nancy--Sometimes I am not good at visiting everyone on the blogroll daily and I wonder if that makes a difference. I can't begin to guess. I'd love the P/T more if she didn't chat and she just put on nice music and let me just chill. She's so darn professional!!
Grace--Frogs hibernate in the pond, Grace. Em is the girl that will be wearing an extra-hot dress....sans date. I'm sorta grumpy in my post today, Grace. Did you notice that?? I didn't until someone mentioned that. Ooops.
Pricilla--I think they are more chicken than dumb. Of course, all the dorks asked her, but not the cute boys that she wanted. Oh, there were many phone calls feeling her out, but in the end, they all chickened out. What is with that??!
Bumbles--Yep, that's IT! :) Thanks, you made me feel better.
awwwww....racoons! We had mice when I was little and my mom set traps in the garage. But we came home from school one day and three baby mice were trapped in the little cage. SO my brother and I HAD to let them out. My mom never could figure out why those traps didnt' work!
We had a family of racoons show up last year and a day later two hound dogs showed up. The hounds spotted the coons and all of them headed out thru our woods. I wonder how long it takes for two hounds and a pack of coons to get from Missouri to Illinois?
Those guys are crazy to not ask the cutest girl in the hottest dress to Homecoming!
I hadn't heard anything about your hurty butt so thought it might feel better but guess not. I hope it is better than it was there for awhile!
I know all the words to that song - I watch the video when I'm on the elliptical. I'm just glad I don't live in California since I wouldn't look so good in "Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top"! :)
Do you feel better now? That's quite a list!
I can't even get out of our neighborhood to see the other construction.
A Marie can give you the per sq ft price comparison on rolls!
•My neighbor has the biggest freaking mouth. I can hear him clear inside my home--and that is on a quiet day.-Me too. Plus I hear him when he gargles-yuk.
My boss wasn't happy to find out what they do with the raccoons once they are picked up. He started taking them to the forest preserve.
We miss Colin too.
•I have one more week with my favorite French intern at work. Gees, I'm growing tired of good-byes. I wonder if Paris could stand a visit from me and Irene? and ME
Wow and to think I wanted to be married. Sorry Joe :-)
•Bummer. I lost a follower today. Okay--who bailed??! Their loss.
Hey Lin! I gained a follower today. Maybe they moved to our blog to see more fur and fewer frogs. We think that Hobbes should have at least two days a week.

The Ozark Mountain Cats
Chocolate--Jodi says it's better NOT to have a date--that way ALL the boys can enjoy looking at that dress. :) I kinda like that thinking.
Peewee--Hahaha! I love that story! We used the friendly traps that worked on balance. The little door would shut when they went in and we could relocate them unharmed. Your poor mom!
Ozark Mtn Cats--It depends on how fast those dogs are chasing them! I think I saw them move through yesterday. ;) How many were in that family of coons that you had? We caught 5 and I'm hoping that is all there was.
Beaded Tail--No kidding! They are sooo gonna be sorry. The hurty butt was doing better until I spent 8 hours on cold bleachers and then I totally regressed. Ugh. I'm still hurting from Saturday.
Sharky--I know! And I'm sorry it was so depressing! I didn't realized what a bummer I was until Hot Rocks mentioned it. Sorry. Tune in tomorrow for a little more fun, okay?
Helene--You have to take those coons like 50 miles away or they keep returning!! I don't like the option, but they were doing so much damage here. And if I go to Paris, you are SO coming with me!!!
Ozark Mtn Cats--Seriously???! I think it was the raccoons. They ruin everything. :(
Make sure you go back to your physical therapist to check up after clearing your system... :)
Yes, it totally bums me out when I lose a follower. Circle of life, I know, but it still stings when it happens.
V7--Hey, that's what the surgeon said! But he called it Metamucil! ;)
CG--I honestly don't care, but there is that small voice in the back of my head (I think it is left over from middle school) that whispers "I don't like you". My cold must be getting to me.
Haha ~ oh Lin ~ you are so funny! And I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing about the toilet paper the other day! When we used to buy the double rolls, they hardly fit into the toilet roll paper dispenser. Now, there is at least 1/2 inches space. Yet they are stilling calling themselves 'double' and are the same price or more. It's all very frustrating.
Hope Mr. Gigantor Raccoon enjoys the Raccoon Happy Farm.
xo Catherine
FUNNY post! LOL
Had NO IDEA about the toilet paper rolls.. the injustice!!! The rolls are supposed to FIT the roll holder, hello! It's like-- standard!
It's too bad about the cutest girl... tell her those jerks aren't worth her time anyway, there's better fish to fry. Take it from one who knows. ;)
I love your randomness... Uh, tell the hubby to just sing inside of his head or he'll be looking at the back of our swinging kerchiefs!
I need a physical therapist who rubs my hurty booty. Does he/she make house calls? ... Uh, out of state.LOL
