What did I pick up at the garage sales yesterday?

1. A pair of broken opera glasses, 25¢
2. A plastic bag full of corn on the cob holders, 25¢

And the crème de la crème…

3. The King and I Franklin Mint Plate featuring a shirtless YUL BRYNNER!!!!, $2.00

I really should hold off on this until the Fourth of July, I just can’t…I am a sick person, I know.

Going garage sale-ing this morning with Mom and Lisa. Before that I have to clean my junky room. Last night Lisa and I went to the Indian Restaurant for dinner. We had Chicken Badami and a Mango Lassi.

Robin Gibb floats my boat. He was always my favorite Gibb brother. Regardless, I couldn’t make it through Bedazzled’s Unreleased Robin Gibb LP. I guess what I feel for Robin is more physical than aural.

I’ve been practicing the twist. I want to dance like this little boy!

I ate 6 1/2 slices of pizza last night. When I got home, I ate half a mango.

I do this sometimes. But I do it even more often in a cabbage patch kids t-shirt and supergirl underwear.

I went to Chicago over 2 weeks ago and I have yet to submit an expense report for it! Must do that today. I also have to clean my bedroom and bathroom. It seems never ending.

Last night I went to Delorenzo’s with Mom and Dad. Lisa took Bobo to Obedience School. After pizza, Mom and I watched an episode of Diagnosis Murder with SCOTT BAIO! He didn’t look as good as I remembered. In my mind Scott Baio was tall and slim– in this episode he looked short and bow-legged. At any rate, I tore myself away and went back to the Donna villa.

Lisa had good news. Bobo wasn’t as shy in class as he had been last week. It’s true! Our very gregarious puppy acted completely backward at last week’s class. In fact, the instructor told Lisa it was evident that Bobo has self-esteem issues!!! Lisa kept insisting that Bobo was just overwhelmed but the instructor wouldn’t listen. This week, Bobo was a little bit more outgoing and the instructor was impressed with his progress.

Since yesterday I have been systematically going through my old entires, one at a time, and turning off comments and pings. It is slow going and mind numbingly boring. I figure it is worth it if only to stop the constant onslaught of spam. I tried installing a script that would batch it, but I can’t seem to get it to work plus I am worried that I might lose everything or permanently break MT.

Last night Lisa and I went shopping at BJ’s. We got very little but the bill was huge! Bag of Meatballs, pack of gum, 2 tins of Cremora, box of butter, case of mineral water, box of dog treats, and 2 boxes ice tea mix. Wanna play Price is Right?

After shopping, Lisa and I went home to Mom and Dad’s house for a slice of Father’s Day ice cream cake. Lisa and Dad watched a show called something like Grossly Obese. I think it was on Discovery Health channel. The one part I saw was during a woman’s debulking surgey. I close my eyes and I can still see the team of doctor’s pulling away mounds of this woman’t flesh! It was disturbing. Made me think of Bones in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. “What is this, the Dark Ages? ”

Excuse me I’m looking for the nuclear wessels.

Yup, Blobfest! That’s a picture of Audra and I reenacting the running out of the Colonial! Organized chaos!

I was in much better shape this morning. Maybe it had something to do with switching my bedroom around? Last night, I moved the dressers so they are on opposites sides of the one window. My bed I moved so it juts out from the wall. I just needed some change.

I’m really liking Dove’s ad campaign: Campaign for Real Beauty. Apparently it’s been around for awhile but I just saw a magazine ad for it in Marie Claire and then last night while Lisa and I watched Law & Static (those rabbit ears just don’t work), there was a commercial for it as well. There is something rather soothing about seeing women with bellies and thighs leaping about happily. I just wish it wasn’t a firming lotion that made them so happy. I went to Dove’s website, and noticed they are soliciting women to submit photos to their Beauty has a Million Faces project. Each photo submitted results in money being donated to their Dove Self-Esteem Fund. Maybe I should submit a photo of myself…with this huge zit on my nostril. I wonder if the money collected for the Self-Esteem fund goes for more Campaign for Real Beauty advertising?

CORN ON THE COB – MICROWAVE

Husk ears of fresh corn; rinse with water. Place butter on each ear before wrapping individually with plastic wrap. Arrange on microwave carousel in a circle.

Microwave on High (100%) 2 minutes per ear. If cooking 1 ear of corn, microwave 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Let stand for about 5 minutes before unwrapping. No pot, not hot water, no steam!
