I Blame it on the Pink

[elrhiarhodan]

I 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:

"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?

And of course, the ever confounding, eternal question:

Why is Matt Bomer so pretty?

ETA: The reference to Carvel's is an old and obscure one. Back in my distant childhood, the founder of the chain, Tom Carvel, used to do his own commercials, and one of them was "Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel" - a two-for-one promotion. He was an old guy with a very distinctive (and most unpleasant) voice:

Oh man, I remember those commercials from the early 80s! They were frustrating because we didn't actually HAVE Carvel stores where I lived, but we got channel 11 out of NYC. They also advertised a lot of cool-sounding summer camp programs that totally didn't pick up where I lived. LOL

I remember that summer camp program - it was tasty...
