Sunthing Special

I was at Target last night looking for one of those Hanes or Fruit of the Loom underwear multipacks for my daughter. I picked up a pack her size and saw the package was open and a pair of underwear was missing. Then I picked up another pack her size and that package, too, was open and a pair of underwear missing. Same for a third package. I thought to myself, how sad that a parent (I would assume) would have to result to stealing underwear for their daughter. I sure hope the child has enough food.

when there is a news story about kids doing bad things and no one you know is in it. High school seniors from Dover High School vandalized the schools of their arch rival New Philadelphia early Friday morning and thank goodness the three nieces I have who are seniors at Dover weren’t involved. http://fox8.com/2013/05/20/students-accused-of-vandalizing-rivals-school/

I was waiting for a prescription at Walgreen’s recently and as I stood in the pharmacy I was astounded by all the “at home” test kits you can get. You can test for colon disease, cholesterol, marijuana, cocaine, and DNA(!) as well as buy your own alcohol breathalyzer. Ohhhhkay. I’m sure the effectiveness varies, but I sure hope I never have to get those drug or alcohol tests when my kids are teens!

I was just googling “oval silver engraveable pendants” (mother’s day or birthday idea for myself) and clicked on one I thought was pretty. I was creeped out to see that it was a “memorial” pendant — it can hold some hair, ashes or dried flowers. Yuck!

the person who holds the “stop” and “slow” signs when there is road construction. I’m so absent minded and easily distracted I would only be on the job about two minutes before I was responsible for a crash.

I was driving downtown today and saw a guy holding up his droopy pants. I’m thinking, Who really needs one more thing to worry about? I can barely get through the day without losing my car keys, credit cards, sanity, etc. — why would I add making sure my pants are droopy but not too droopy to the list??

People magazine just named her this year’s World’s Most Beautiful Woman. What?? I can think of a bazillion women more beautiful – Jennifer Garner, Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie, etc. Plus, Paltrow seems like a real snot.

I knew of four women in my children’s entire school district who didn’t color their hair. Then one colored her hair last year. That left three. Two weeks ago I saw another had dyed her hair. Then today at Marc’s, I saw that the only other holdout had dyed her hair. That leaves … me. But I have no intention on dyeing my hair. I guess I’m truly one of a kind now.

darned if I don’t. If I buy a treat I like, I eat pretty much the whole thing, which is bad. If I buy a treat I don’t like, I don’t eat it, and usually no one else in the family either does, so it gets thrown out, which is bad too. If I had some self-control when it came to sweets I wouldn’t have this problem.

is pregnant at the age of 46 (my age), as rumors suggest, I have to ask, “What???”
