Late night randoms...

I took a nap, therefore I am awake...sigh...

1) Funny how my bedroom get so messy...it's only me. The elves (meaning Sara) fear for their lives and won't set foot in there. Cowards...

2) Sweet tea and BLTs (sans L and T) are as awesome at midnight as they are in the morning.

3) I saw a movie once that said and I quote "if you walk on a beach and have a steady hand with the polish, you'll never need a pedicure"...have to call B.S. on that one. I walk on the beach and my feet feel like sandpaper or brillo pads or other scratchy stuff I can't think of right now because its late...and my polish looks like crap...damn beach.

4) I love reading comments on things I write, especially when its from my near and dear. If I could bottle that ego-stroking, the world would never need Xanax. So for those of you who comment (either here or on my facebook or on the phone--Nameless, of course), I thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those who don't...you too shall be lured to the dark side...moo ahahahahahahahah (that's an evil laugh, but I don't know how to write it)

5) At the bottom of these blog drafts, there is a place to add labels to my posts...I guess that's easy when you stick to a theme, but I don't think I have a theme. And NO, Nameless, "rant" is not a theme (shaking my head at Nameless). On this one, I guess I can tag 'beach' 'pedicure' 'Xanax' 'draft'...hee hee...when people type in one of those words in a search engine, can you imagine their faces when they wind up with THIS? Now THAT'S a hardee har har if there ever was one.

6) Best friends from your youth are the best ones to have in your life, even if its in a very peripheral way. They remember you as you were, young, idealistic, motivated, etc. They were there when the castles in the sand were being built over late night ice cream and amaretto sours (it was Texas, we were legal...hush) and for them, it was all going to come true for you. That's one of the things I love about Facebook. I know there are people out there who go on and on ad nauseum about Facebook being the Devil and full of drama and B.S., but those people aren't using it like I do, or like most of the people I know do. I use it to stay in touch with family and friends I never see and find out how their lives are; I use it to connect to family I've never had an opportunity to know in person. And I use it to stalk old boyfriends from high school...I'm not COMPLETELY dull LOL

7) I've rethought the whole black string bikini thing and went out and bought a tankini instead. Even though I know I probably won't see those people again, I just feel weird about waddling down to the water from my blanket with all of THIS exposed. Besides, I have to think of the children...

8) Just talked myself out of another BLT...I feel quite virtuous in my self-denial. Show of hands if anyone thinks it will last.

9) Setting my goal when I start writing for a list of at least 10 items to make it worthwhile for myself and my readers seemed like a good idea at the time, but I didn't take into account that I would be doing this because I couldn't sleep since I took a really long afternoon nap that lasted 'til almost midnight and might not be as creative (and long-winded) as I am naturally inclined to be. This is a space-filler, much like the words 'very' and 'simply' when writing schools papers that require 1000 words or more, remember those?

10) Plan of action tomorrow...go to the beach and work on the tan, do laundry, clean my room (damn elves), pine for Nameless, maybe make cookies and start my diet..again...after all, it will be Sunday.

Happy Easter, folks!
