As if my week in review isn't enough, now you're telling me I have to pay attention to people's writing styles as well?!?!?

No honey, I'm just saying that you coulda been a contender..

 

[1Prince2Princesses]

Oh no, "Plink, Plink, Plink" is never a good sound for a vehicle...Slot machine..yes, car-no.

At least I wasn't driving it during the plinking.

Since we got rid of the slot machine on the nighstand next to the bed, my plinking days are over.

We have a slot machine, too. It's really old, wooden sides. My dad found it at a garage sale for $10, DH took it apart and removed all the paint, then stained it. It's got a real arm(!) and it has fruits..just like the old ones. It's pretty cool, but we don't have a place for it, it is in the attic near the Pachinko machine..

You should have kept it but changed the symbols...then when he gave you the "look" you could have said "pull the arm and let's see what you'll get tonight"

.....lovin'.... lovin'.... a smack in the head.....

ohhhh, so sorry, try again tomorrow.

Geez, I guess I'm going blonde today...

But! If that is indeed the case, and you guys think I have a similar writing style to an author AND you guys tell me to write a book about my Jerry Springer'ish family, maybe I should just quit this crazy crab business and make some major moola as a novelist!

I already have the dedication picked out:

To all my Loser friends, without them this book would not be possible. They are my inspiration, applaud my lack of motivation, and share my never ending obsession with pudding and pie. My confidantes, my sisterhood, my friends.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. DH, this is for you, too! Not that you need a dedication or anything, spending the money I make will be enough to make you happy.

I'll have to check out that book. It sounds pretty darn funny.

So, my husband has completely disassembled my van. It's in a zillion pieces. Something went wrong with the timing belt like a week and a half ago. He's been giving me the "Oh, it's fine to drive" line, but I didn't buy it. He pulled out the suspect part, and bearings dropped all over the pavement like flying cockroaches doused with Raid. Plink, plink, plink, everywhere. I just gave him a knowing look and said, "Fine to drive, eh?"

He's sulking.

At least I wasn't driving it during the plinking.

Since we got rid of the slot machine on the nighstand next to the bed, my plinking days are over.

And people say *my* life is interesting.

Omg, my husband would love that. I might even like that one. The one we had spoke chinese to us.

I embrace the odd things that happen in my life. I've started writing them down so that when I wind up in the nuthouse, there will be a written log of what put me there.

 

[LaraK]

My kid is resisting sleep...he's in there talking to the Republican Elephant Beanie Baby my husband got him (We also have the Ronald Reagan bear)...I don't know what the conversation is about, but somehow people burning each others eyes is involved.

Good idea, disneyfav4ever. Journaling is therapeutic. We've written a bunch of our shizzle down too. I have a list of shizzle that happens at work. It grows daily. Home is not quite as odd, but still pretty odd, only because I'm honest about it. Others have odd lives too, if they'd only admit it.

Your kids clearly have inherited your "Uncle Vito" gene.

I agree. Honesty recognizes oddity, and we all have it.

You should blog, and then you should let me read it.

ETA:

Good idea, disneyfav4ever.

Smart ***.

I stopped keeping a diary at an early age. My mother would always read it, and then have nerve enough to come to me and ask me "if there's anything I'd like to talk about."

And then, once I had moved out, bought my own house, was pregnant, and went through a traumatic experience and was hospitalized, I wrote down some things, my feelings, how scared I was, etc in a notebook and kept it in my drawer.

And guess what? That crazy obsessed snooper read that too! While I was sleeping and she was in the same room as me! Now that takes some cajones! How do I know this? Because she asked me if I had "written anything else?"

Ugh! I'm having asthma issues tonight...I've already had to hit the inhaler twice and now I'm totally breathless and weak. I hate this.

So that's where your son gets it.

Hope you start feeling better soon.

I can't imagine what that is like, not being able to catch your breath. I hope you feel better soon, Lara.

Aww, Lara. I hate that feeling. Wish I could help.

That wasn't me, it was IAHD. But no, no bites.

That is great. I say go for it.
