Thursday Thirteen #24

I've got all kinds of random thought floating around, but none are long enough for a complete blog post. Here are thirteen of my favorites:

1. Between crazy kids who hate their bedtime routine to all my woes at the dentist's office, I've only got one question: Exactly when was it that my life was reduced to nothing more than one of Bill Cosby's stand-up routines?

2. When I was a teenager I belonged to a girls' club and we wore long dresses to perform memorized scripts. Now I have a job that requires me to dress up and perform memorized scripts. I always joked that I wanted to do that when I grew up-and now I do! (The club was called Rainbow girls, but I tend to disappoint internet searches right and left when I post about it using those words. Sorry again! Nothing to see here.)

3. For years my friends and I joked that we would grow up to "work Lincoln Blvd." and now two of us actually do. Well, we work at places that are located there anyway and that's preferable to the other meaning of that phrase.

4. I got an email from someone I used to babysit for yesterday in which she mentioned that she's never seen the "Flowers in the Attic" movie on TV without thinking of me. I'm sorry to hear that because the movie was awful-I only liked the books.

5. She's now almost 30-how did that happen?

6. What if Pokemons don't WANT to fight and be stuck in a pokeball? As a child of the 70's who worried about Ben the bear on Grizzly Adams and Sigmund of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, I wonder about these things. Much to the chagrin of my children.

7. Along those lines, the Starblazers only had one year to complete their mission "or mother earth would disappear," but I remember it being on the air after school for several years. (Not that I could watch it, our reception only tuned in channels 25 and 34 on really good days.)

8. Also along those lines, who else just LOVED the "Mock 5" epsiode of Dexter's Laboratory? It's my favorite.

9. When the heck did my kids quit being babies? I know they're still young, but they aren't as little as they were last time I looked. I'm afraid to turn around too slowly for fear they might graduate high school when I'm not paying attention.

10. Where in the world did we get ALL THESE TOYS? (And who exactly do these kids think is going to pick them up and put them away?)

11. How can a dental procedure that hurt so much yesterday I couldn't stand it feel absolutely normal today? (Not a complaint, just a question.)

12. Is it summer vacation yet?

13. Is it at least bedtime then?

That's all I've got for today! Leave me a link to your TT in the comments section so I can make sure and visit you too!
