I forgot what I wanted to blog about

This morning I had a great idea for a post. Then I got busy at work, and the thought went straight out of my head. I swear, this old age thing is kicking my ass.

Over the weekend, we put up a 9' by 9' gazebo on our back patio, and it just about killed me. My husband thougt it would only take 2 hours. 10 hours later, I was still working on it. It was about 90 degrees outside, and I was bent over (no comments from the Peanut Gallery, please!) for a few of those hours, cleaning off all of the gross backyard furniture that had nasty shit all over it. I used an entire bottle of "ZAP" on the 4 chairs, big table, and 2 side tables and a roll and a half of paper towels. And from being hunched over for that long, I could barely move my legs the next morning. They were all quivery and achey. Oh, and because it was so hot and I was so sweaty, I had to burn my clothes. Plus, I broke out in some sort of rash on my chest. What the fuck is that all about? I never used to be this way. Old age sucks!

And, on top of everything else, I keep forgetting shit. Oh, and the worst part about getting old is that I keep on forgetting shit. Oh yeah, did I mention the worst thing about aging? Hey, wait a minute. Where am I? Who are you? What happened to my pants?

Brooke: Jason is so yummy! What is happening on GH? Did you see the teaser about him remembering his past? I guess it has something to do with Doctor Dumbass - or whatever his name is. I'm so intrigued to find out what he remembers! And hopefully he'll be remembering without his shirt on....

I haven't been paying strict attention to the show lately. I'm too busy blogging. And soon I'll be working and then you will be my only source of info. But today he looked hot. He got drunk on Tequila with Sam and I could only think "why can't that be me?"

This just in - Melanie now realizes what peril she's in and has told me she will attmept to buy her life in the form of Au Bon Pain coffee and Cherry Danish. Do not let her off the hook! or at least send that danish my way.

And I quote: "And I'll stop at Au Bon Pain in the morning and get her the coffee she likes and the cherry danish and we'll be all good."

LW: You're right! I bet that's what happened to my pants!! And yes, the joys of aging. The other fun thing is the random hair popping up in the wrong places...

Brooke: My boss has a tv in his office. I tried to sneak in there at 3:55 to catch the last 5 mins and the previews for tomorrow. I was in there for 3 seconds, tops, and he comes walking in. "What are we watching?" OOPS! Maxi and that too-young-too-be-a-cop kid were gettin it on. Double oops!

Nicky: Thank you for alerting me. Good work. You will get an extra treat in your lunch tomorrow.

Mel, Mel, Mel: How could you? How could you??!! I will reconsider my disappointment tomorrow morning over a free coffee and cherry danish....

When I last left Maxie and the too young to be a cop kid, they were about to get shot by the too hot to be a cop man. What happened there???

Blogger Lo Lo Lova said...

I don't know what happened! I literally saw 3 seconds, and they were totally gonna do it. Maybe hot cop was watching? I don't know. Did you see the "cat fight" between Maxi and that woman with the skunk hair? AWFUL.

They always have two teenagers on the run in the summer! Trying to drag in that youthful audience. I think the regular writers take the summer off and employ high school seniors to take over.

I find the Mel-LoLo-Nick soap opera to be much more entertaining than anything on TV.

Brooke: I agree about the high schoolers in the summer. I remember when it was Frankie and Jennifer Horton. Back in the day!

Ubi: I agree. Our drama is quite entertaining :)

Lil Red: No, no tivo. And hubby is kind enough to tape the show when I'm at work, but I never have time to watch it! I usually only get to watch Friday's episode, and even then I skip through it so that I can see it before Monday's episode is on!
