Jeopardy, Foam, Sisters…and Bah. Oh, and Adopt-my-Dog.
1. I love watching Jeopardy. I laugh through most of it. During Kids Week, all of the kids jammed their buzzer to answer a question to name the war in which some state was acquired by the U.S. But when asked about the primary ingredient in marinara sauce, they all look at each with blank faces, completely stumped. That shit cracks me up. Last week, a woman gave an incorrect answer and Alex Trebek said something like, “Ohhh, no, it’s XX. What you said is something else entirely.” I laughed.
2. I bought foaming hand soap for the bathroom. At some point, while using it, I wondered, “Does this make me lazy? I don’t even want to take the time to lather my own soap?”
3. Yesterday, the Today Show covered a story in which two adopted guys worked at the same place and then found out that they were brothers. And then a sister emerged out of the woodwork. The three of them were on. Turns out there’s another sister and so they all met each other live on the Today Show this morning. The best part was that this 4th sibling…she looked a little, how shall I say it…. rough. She said that as soon as she saw the show the day before, she knew this was her family. And then she made a motion toward her newly found sister and said something along the lines of: “I mean, come on, look at us. It’s so obvious that we’re sisters.”
And I swear the other sister cringed.
4. Today, I watched a Cover Girl commercial on television. Penelope Cruz was in it. I watched it and then paused, rewound it and watched it again before I realized why.
*sigh* Bah.

5. I put a plate with a slice of watermelon on it down on the coffee table. I got up to get a glass of water. I turned around and Little Filthy had it in his mouth, sticking out of each side. I yelled, “HEY!” and he tore off running down the hall. He ran right into the bedroom (have I mentioned that I don’t have any doors in my place? I live in a loft so I don’t even have walls that go up to the ceiling…which is about 17 feet high). Yeah, I found the beast on my bed, watermelon rind on my PILLOW.
And you know what? Dogs don’t have lips. You know what that means? It means they get watermelon juice everywhere.
Who wants a dog?

Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

I don’t like foaming hand soap at all. Call me old fashioned, but I like to lather it up myself. I don’t feel clean unless I know I lathered the soap.
I love Penelope Cruz, especially in Vicky Christina Barcelona. I used to live in Barcelona for a year. I used to speak Spanish with a lisp.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, it takes time to get over this, and things will be hard for a little while. But like I said, I can’t see you being single for long.

Really? I totally dig the foam because it spreads easier and I don’t drop half of it in a glop on the sink.
Penelope Cruz is stunning, isn’t she? That reminds me, I have Rosetta Stone software for Spanish I should still learn.
I’m debating hibernating for a bit or just sowing some wild oats. Why don’t you think I’d be single for a while? I fought my last relationship tooth and nail for months.

We will gladly take LF till you miss him if we only lived closer, Foot could teach new bad habits.

Foaming soap is the best. Like a little surprise everytime you use it.
(yes, I’m easily amused)
Here’s my 2 cents worth. Don’t plan on hibernating or sowing wild oats.
Just let things “happen”. Be open to any possibility. Live it, don’t plan it.
*laugh* Oh how I wish you caught LF on video! I got it…let him do it AGAIN and this time tape it *snort*

I’m with debra on this one…I think a replay is in order. Poor LF, given watermelon, then expected to leave a perfect piece alone.
That’s pretty funny about the kids on Jeopardy…I don’t have TV so I miss lots of stuff in that department.
It’ll be tough for a while, then you’ll get over it, move on….but you’ll not likely forget. Just play it by ear and don’t try to over plan everything. Guess I should be practicing what I preach huh?

(Just commenting on LF tonight. )
Re: LF – BWAH HA HA HA HA! Oh, sorry. No thank you on the dog adoption offer.

Random,
See, that’s why I don’t give dogs watermelon. I also know better than to leave anything like that with in a dog’s reach, even if only for a second.
I will gladly watch him and give you a break. I wish I could have a furry friend right now.
Just do what you want while you are single. If you want to go out and be wild, do it while you can. If you feel better laying low, do it. After my breakup, I did a little bit of both.
From reading your blog, I can tell that you are a go-getter and know what you want, you are educated, articulate, a little filthy, and love your dog. All good qualities that many women look for. Plus, Besos is a beautiful woman so if you got with that, makes me wonder what you look like.
I don’t know why you fought tooth and nail in your last relationship. I could make guesses from reading your past posts and the general feeling I get, but I don’t know that much so I’m not gonna hypothesize here. Maybe you are hard to deal with in a relationship, who knows. But I can tell that at the bottom of it all, you have a heart and do want to be comitted to the right person.

You could adopt Little Filthy out and then one day he could end up being reunited with you on the Today show and he would cringe when you tell the host that it’s so obvious you’re related – I mean, look at you both…
Oh and in no way am I suggesting you look like a little pooch with attitude…I wouldn’t know hahaha.
Oops, better stop my comment here before I get in real trouble!

I could loan you my cat. She is full of piss and vinegar and could quite possibly eat LF. Or at least try. The amusement would be endless as she is also quite tiny. Just a thought.

2. Is it sad that I get excited when I use a bathroom or other sink that has foaming handsoap?
3. I feel this ladies pain. I know better than anyone how it is when people say they know someone who looks JUST like me, and then I see said look alike and go…. ugh… really? Maybe I’m a dillusional b*tch but the majority of times this is not a good thing.
5. LF is a bandit!

“Maybe you are hard to deal with in a relationship.”
Things that you make you go hmmmmmmmmmm ….
Nah. Bastard.

Years ago in the Clinton era a lawyer friend told me that one of her coworkers looked at her and said “Wow, you remind me of Janet Reno”. When she looked at him horrified he mumbled something about how he meant her legal skills. And then he scampered off.

LF & watermelon- You’ve created a monster, you know….
