Sound Bites.

In honor of the deer hunting season opening (that I do NOT follow, participate in, nor care about), I shall speckle my post with bullets.
  •  (Be careful, I don’t want to accidentally shoot you.)


  • I just finished reading Back Roads. This was an Oprah book that I firmly believe slipped through her quality control department, because when I finished it, I didn’t want to heave myself off of a cliff or want to join a support group with similar book-reading survivors. There was also a number of Danielle Steele-worthy moments, and unless Oprah was fighting with Stedman (or Gayle depending on what gossip-mag you’re inclined to believe), I don’t recall that much “smut” being included in her books before…

  • I’ve been trying to decide what I would do if I won $500. I would like to buy stuff, but the responsible thing would be to save it. As a result of my internal confliction, I surely hope that I don’t win a large sum of money anytime soon.

  • I’m trying to convince somebody, anybody, to dress up like an Avatar as a birthday present for me. Simply put – I think this would be the BOMB. (For planning purposes, my birthday is November 20).

  • Kim vs. Christmas Lights – the winner was the Christmas lights. I pulled out the ladder, the lights, and the hooks. I climbed the ladder. I was unable to understand the hook system. FAIL. I also attempted to do this during last weekend’s Vikings game, so my cries for help went unanswered. DOUBLE FAIL. I might just throw the lights on top of my pumpkin bags and call it good.

  • I’ve recently found out that a bloggy friend of mine is pregnant! My first thought after feeling happiness and joy for her was, “Thank God it’s not me!” (Congrats Laura! You’ll make it!!)

  • Another bloggy friend of mine has posted video of her family playing with a Kinect. (cross-reference bullet #2) and now I want one… problem is, I don’t have an Xbox. (Thanks Shanna!)

  • I’ve been contemplating only giving home-made gifts this year. I’m not able to currently make a home-made doll house however, so the kids might get a pass. I’m already preemptively annoyed by making sure I spend the “right” amounts on people, and making sure I follow the lists correctly.

  • Stray bullet. Be careful.

  2. Love it! And you're welcome. If you need to do some market research (y'know, like any good consumer would do) you can come over anytime to play Kinect with us nerds!

    Oh, and with the $500 you're going to win, you could buy an Xbox, Kinect, and several games. 2 bullet points resolved! You're welcome, again. Ha!
