Friday Follies

For lack of a better term, I am calling my thoughts today... "Friday Follies." As if my arbitrary (and often bizarre) ramblings needed a title.

1. The boy has an ear infection. In the doctor's words... A nasty cold that caused "blockage in his Eustachian tubes" and a "cess pool of fluid." Good times. He's on the mend, but I thought it was worth mentioning. He also asked me why he couldn't just shoot the antibiotic into his ear instead of drinking it. I see a medical career in our future.

2. One of my new favorite ways to sleep is with my arms crossed in front of myself. Like a corpse. Freaky, I know. If anyone reading this ever finds me in that position, please don't call the funeral home... I'm just resting.

3. Have you seen the news about the nut job who poisoned the trees at Auburn University? Nut. Job. He poured herbicide in lethal doses into the soil around 100+ year-old trees because he's an Alabama fan.

Dear Mr. Tree-Killer,
You are not a fan. We are fans, and we think our rivals are pretty cool people. You have WAY too much time on your hands. You can be a fan without killing trees. Or hating.

4. Last weekend, I saw a girl wearing booty shorts, a tank top, and flip flops. And it was 59 degrees. Today, it's supposed to be 75. I wonder... Today is she naked?

Dear People, Just because the sun is shining... does not mean we have suddenly shot forward in time to July. Put on some seasonally appropriate clothes. Thank you.

5. While reading an magazine, I saw a writer refer to this season's American Idol as "The Steven Tyler Show." Yes. Yes it is. And I am OK with that.

We have a long weekend ahead of us; Dan/Daddy gets some time off from school. (Thank you, President's Day.) We have family coming in for a visit, the boy has a basketball game, and the weather...
Well. Just be on the lookout for naked people.
