14 Random Things: In no particular order:
- Yeah, it’s probably not a good idea to paint your nails right after drinking a 20 oz mocha and 2 cups of tea.
- My husband thinks I don’t know where the workout room is.
- And because of #2 my husband thinks I won’t notice he swapped out the good headphones on my MP3 player in the workout room.
- Hey, we have a workout room in our basement!
- I shouldn’t be allowed in the workout room unsupervised.
- Water is your best friend when trying to lose weight. So, drink lots of it. Just be warned: it does tend to make you need to pee. A lot: #1 applies.
- I’m grossly overweight. How do I know? My fat jeans ran screaming from my bedroom when I dared to stretch them over my thighs.
- It’s a good thing I don’t own spandex.
- I’m
might beprone to exaggeration. - Being prone to exaggeration is a genetic defect—it’s Southern.
- #10 doesn’t come close to explaining the Cowboy, but it’s a start.
- Speaking of Presidents. I want this man as my President.
- This is not a meme: so don’t let me catch you replicating it. Lord have mercy if I actually put one of those things into the universe. Shudder.
- I don’t actually have a #14… but I’m superstitious and I hear 13 is unlucky.
hmmmm……this is borderline meme.
And as to number 12, take a look at Wesley Clark before you are sure of B.O.
And one more thing, since you have copyright now, is it OK if I snap a picture of your site when you post new article so I can include you in the NCO local blog slideshow? (Left-hand column)

Um, it would take more than the substance of Wesley Clark to get me to vote for a
RepublicanBaby Boomer! Especially an old white male.As for your slideshow, what you are purposing is not a copyright infringement.
Well actually Wes Clark is a Democrat
Sounds good then on the slideshow, I’ll have you up in a few seconds.

Heh… My bad. I’m tired. When I looked him up I guess I missed the party affiliation. I thought it was odd you were putting forth a Republican! 😀
He won’t have my vote in the primaries, at least. The age thing bugs me. He is my father’s age and it’s time for new leadership.  But, should he win the primary… he would be better than anyone lining up on the other side. Still… it’s early. And at this point in the game I’m optimistic and choose to stay so. And… that’s all the politicking I’ll be doing for some time. 😀
As for your slide show. Can’t stop you. ~W
As for your slide show. Can’t stop you.
I’m not really asking the legalities of it, just if you mind or not. I can take it down if you don’t like.

I’ll answer this off line, I guess.Â
I think your post is great – really funny! I have to say that #10 doesn’t *even* come close to explaining the cowboy. Jerry Lewis, in one of his crazy movies, has more wit and intelligence to offer. Very little explains the cowboy. If he didn’t look so much like dad, I’m sure dad and mom would both be saying, “He’s really not ours – he was switched at birth…” I hear the ghost of Ann Richards saying, “Poor George, he can’t help it, he was born with no brain in his head…” As for you – just stand next to me and you won’t feel so bad…

I love you. You know that, right? (and I want those earplugs back!) ~W
A little exaggeration in the interests of a good or entertaining story is one thing; outright deceit and dishonesty is another. I’m excited to watch this race, now that I herald-part of the time- from his home town state (we belong to the same sports club. It’s kinda like a workout room with 5 restaurants and occasional B.O. and Oprah sightings).
I, too, am now overweight- at least for me. Spending the winter in warm and wonderful outdoors is having the opposite affect: I eat more shrimp, fish and chips, drink more beer plus I don’t have those three stories to run up and down, up and down. MUST lose 8 pounds in 8 weeks. Starting today.
So, speaking of heavy weights, I never thought of the Danes as ardent sewers, but I guess you need a serious machine to cut through those heavy pelts. I loved Iz’s report on sewing machines and I’ll be interested to see what he comes up with. Your birthday must be looming near…I use an old Swedish machine that sews straight lines and a few other stitches, nothing digital or computerized about it. I suspect this dog is too old to learn so many new tricks.
If I get my loom up and running again in this lifetime I’ll be happy.

I’m giggling over the Dane thing. I don’t know that they are heavy sewers… but mine is a heavy researcher! (I’m only married to a Dane… I’m Southern. Heh) And my birthday is a week from Saturday when I will be 42. That’s my story for the past 3 years and I’m sticking to it! I believe if you’re going to lie about your age, lie UP! People are always amazed at how good you look for your age. When I get to 42, I’m telling everyone I’m 50. And after that, I refuse to have birthdays unless they involve really expensive trips that require the use of passports. ~W
I really don’t think I can vote for a man whom people refer to as B.O. 🙂

Pfft. ONE person. It certainly wasn’t me! However, I almost edited his comment for just that reason. Now I see, I should have. 😀 ~W
Edit: OK, TWO people. I looked at comments in reverse order on my editing page so I didn’t see Vicki’s comment before I responded to yours. But still… Cap, he rocks. Vote your conscience. ~W
So much to comment on. I will avoid discussing the Prez because I will just get myself ALL WORKED UP. And that is not a good thing. I am undecided on who I support for next time; my main issue is pragmatic. He or she MUST be electable. Otherwise, we end up with John McCain or Romney.

That was not me talking politics. No it wasn’t. It just looked like me. It was my evil twin. 😀 ~WÂ
Oh, you forgot…you shouldn’t paint your nails while on the treadmill either. It would make such a mess! But I’m not speaking from experience. 🙂 hee hee

Speaking of #12…wouldn’t you rather have this man as your President???
