Thirteen Things And Readers Choice.

13:  Mad Woman does a Thursday Thirteen so I'm gonna too.  Don't know her?  She's fun.  She posts pics of hot men.  And women.   I wanna get drunk with her and ogle hot men.  And women.

12:  I worked Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.  Four 3 - 11 shifts with my wacky bunch of old geezers and geezerettes.  Many of them, the very demented ones, can wear a girl down.  The same questions/complaints/demands; "Where's my daughter?",  "I can't find my daughter.",  "Call my daughter and tell her to get me out of here." - over and over and over again.

Sometimes I sneak off to the bedside of an alert and oriented resident, sit down, and have a normal chat.

     12.1:  Tuesday was my last day of work before my vacation.  No work for 19 days.  Yay me.

     12.2:  I made sure my favorite (they're not like children, I'm allowed to pick favorites) residents got a hug and a kiss and an I Love You before I left on Tuesday night; 19 days being long enough for those on the last leg of the journey to get sick and die.

     12.3:  I hope nobody dies while I'm gone.  It bothers me to be a part of the show for so long and then miss the finale.

     12.4:  You totally just imagined a decrepit old person sitting up and doing jazz hands the moment before they croaked didn't you?

11:  DaniG pointed me toward this website that is clearly a gift from the Universe to ME.

10: Owen and Bea playing Harry Potter wands with sticks yesterday.  Owen wants to know a real spell.

      Me: "Expecto Patronum!"

      Owen: Takes aim at my heart with his stick and looks me in the eye; "Pecker Tronem!"

      Bea: Takes aim with her stick:  "Petunias!!"

9:  Brought my car in for a much overdue inspection sticker and oil change.  The thing has been paid off for two years and I haven't had to do any work on it.  I expected it would need something.  I expected something expensive.

I had no transmission fluid.  NONE.  The guy didn't know how I'd made it to the shop and begged me not to drive it until it was fixed.  I agreed and was about to take him up on the offer of their shuttle to take me home as I didn't want his $100 rental.  We got to the counter and the girl there told him;

"Just got the Prius back. She can have that."

For free.

8:  Ever driven a hybrid?  Push a button to start it.  Sounds like a toaster.  Actually, my toaster is louder.

     8.1:  My next car is gonna be a toaster.

7:  After supper this evening.  Kids watching TV.  Me playing with phone.  Drinking WATER.

     Bea:  "Where's your wine Mom?"

6:  Is a stupid number. I got nothing.

5:  Oh yeah, playing with my phone. I figured out how to blog from it.  Yep.  That 'test' post that nobody can see?  From my phone.  This could be fun.

4:  'Cause we're leaving for vacation on Sunday.  Three couples, six kids ages 18 months to 7 years old; big house, amusement park, water park, unknown outdoor adventures. 

3:  Vacation sounds not very relaxing.

2: But drinking wine is.  Poured a big glass two seconds after the kids went to bed.

     2.1:  You just gasped that I actually waited for the kids to be in bed didn't you?

1:  Al's birthday is Sunday.  He'll be 42.  I'm going to re post a silly Al story.  You get to pick.  So. What'll it be?  Boobs or Blow jobs?  Leave your choice in the comments and the winner will be posted on Sunday.
