I Blame it on the Pink

elrhiarhodanI think it's because I'm not wearing black today (well, except for my watch, my shoelaces and my underpants), but my thoughts were definitely on the bizarre side this morning.
A random sample:
And of course, the ever confounding, eternal question:
A random sample:
"I'm running late, so let's take the route to the highway with the most lights and make sure we're behind drivers who don't believe in making a right on red when there's no on-coming traffic." Yes, that's literally what I was thinking as I stopped for the sixth traffic light.
I'm wearing something that's not my winter coat, so I'm humming, "I feel pretty, oh so pretty." I catch a glimpse of my face framed by wispy gray hair and think, "NO."
It's Wednesday, and that means two things: It's HUMPPPPPPPPPPPPP DAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (earworms you for that Geico commercial) and Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel. At 7:32 AM, I wanted chocolate soft serve with extra sprinkles.
Passing the Bekins Van Lines truck, which has the annoying "How's My Driving" sign pasted on the back. "Like an asshole." Actually, I was thinking that he was driving like Michael Schumacher, but that was mean.
Passing by the time and temperature sign, which read 31 degrees, I had to wonder if there was more snow in forecast, and if so, who do I need to call to stop this. Then I remembered that it was supposed to be over sixty today and I wanted to know who I needed to call to stop that.
Apparently, "Box of Birds" is New Zealand slang for feeling very good. Why?

Date: 2014-04-02 04:51 pm (UTC)yesterday mine were:
why did my DH not know which MD office to go to and why is GPS screwing it up, and now we have more twenty questions to answer at doctor's office and late for the appointment. (so far he's good)
civilization to my DH means KFC, so why did he pass it when done at MD. Instead he's goes to Burger King. He's been up since at least 3AM and it;s 2PM, so my mind choice of lunch at real restaurant is kept in my mind
OnDemand Comcast is offering it's Wathathon free for a week, and trying to watch some episodes and what is all the violence and female nudity??
The bills are all paid. YEAH! Wait is there enough in the checking account without transferring funds????
Visit LNS (local needlepoint shop) and pick up latest hot project (one of a million)
WTF? Both the Yankees and Phillies lose.

Date: 2014-04-02 05:23 pm (UTC)I went through three tops this morning before I finally found one that didn't make me feel meh. Trouble is, it's a sweater and now I'm sitting here sweating. I can't win.
And this week the traffic has been so light I keep wondering where everyone is and if I've somehow missed a memo. I mean, our company didn't let that many people go, did they?
And if they really did let that many people go, where are all these people asking for office space coming from? Are we cloning people in the lab and no one told me?
And that's not even mentioning the monsoon I drove home through the last couple of nights. It's April, for crying out loud, and it feels like January outside. WTH, Mother Nature?
So yeah, must be a Wednesday thing...

Date: 2014-04-02 06:00 pm (UTC)Lately I have been trying to figure out the difference in pronunciation between Tayvz and Taves (which is actually spelled Toews). It sounds the same to me. But so do pen and pin, collar and color, and other random things like that.
Now I'm having random thoughts. LOL
no subject
Date: 2014-04-02 06:13 pm (UTC)And I'm with you with repeating words and puzzling over sounds - I can say a word so many times it becomes meaningless and then I have no idea why I started doing that.
Usually on the drive home.

Ya know, if that truck driver really drove like Michael Schumacher, then...he wouldn't be moving much. Dude's still in a coma, after all. But I know what you mean, and don't you just love drivers like that? *headdesk*
Please remember to call whoever's responsible and make sure to order that snowstorm I want in May. Thanks!
Mmmm...pretty Bomer is so pretty! *ogles*

Date: 2014-04-02 06:36 pm (UTC)And yeah, I meant that about the truck driver and M. Schumacker...the truck was going about 25mph and the rest of the traffic, about three times that. I am VERY mean.
And if I can't get you snow, will you settle for Carvel's?
no subject
Date: 2014-04-02 06:44 pm (UTC)Ah, gotcha. I thought you meant he drove like a complete maniac. Maybe it's because I'm used to such drivers here... Honestly, I'm surprised the coma news traveled that far...
Hmm, what's Carvel's? If I can't build a snowman with it, I don't want it. *g*
no subject
Date: 2014-04-02 06:49 pm (UTC)Carvel's is soft-serve ice cream. I guess you could build a snowman out of it.
Or I could get you a snowman shaped ice cream cake:

The confounding, eternal question: I'm reminded of the exchange from Upper West Side Story. Wood: "My daughter didn't describe you as being so…" Neal: "So bookish?" Woods: "So symmetrical."

Date: 2014-04-04 03:42 pm (UTC)It warmed up yesterday and I thought I saw the shadow of yellow on the forsythias, but today is cold and gray again.
And yes, so...symmetrical.

I want that man...
Date: 2014-04-03 02:31 am (UTC)It's not fair Matt Bomer is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful.
Re: I want that man...
Date: 2014-04-04 03:44 pm (UTC)And it's NOT fair that Matt's so pretty and I can't have him.

Date: 2014-04-03 04:52 am (UTC)Too bad I had to sit through a boring conference. And spill my Starbucks before I could even drink it. (but they did remake it for me!)
Random thought of my morning as I stared at my two cell phones, one with reception, the other notta - seriously Verizon? You're going to let AT&T up you?? Thank goodness for MiFi. Because I needed to be entertained during the most boring session EVER!
I am now going to go to bed dreaming of Matt Bomer, because *thud*. Pretty... so pretty... Thank you for that.

Date: 2014-04-05 05:15 pm (UTC)If it's genuinely bad driving, consider calling the company to report it, especially if you can make a note of the truck number. (Usually, the number printed on the side of the truck near the front is more useful than the license plate number, but either will work.) I get calls like this at work sometimes, and while it doesn't lead to anybody being fired or other serious consequences it does lead to a bit of a talking-to and a reminder to drive more slowly/carefully/graciously/whatever. In a way, I see it as a favor because if these guys get in an accident it could lead to them not being able to be covered by the company vehicle insurance and thus losing their jobs.

Fed Ex does not have a driver complaint number and it's impossible to reach a live customer service rep.
