This is just a mish mash of stuff…
If the road is wet or icy NEVER set your cruise control. If you begin to hydroplane, once the tires lose contact with the pavement, the car accelerates. Very dangerous.

There was an advertisement this morning that asked “Will you Live to be 80?” First, off, I’m not taking some friggin’ quiz that might tell me otherwise. I’ll just keep doing my best and hoping for the best. BUT my big gripe was that it had Birth, 20, 40, 60, and 80 with a picture next to each age and a question mark next to the 80. The woman they’d slotted in at 60? I doubt she was even 40. If she was 60, then I’ve got some monkey’s flying out my rear about right now. Why not put a woman in there that looked like a 60-year old woman? And we wonder why women are obsessed with not aging?

I don’t get SlimFast. I keep them in the fridge for situations like this morning. Girl got the vertical rubber bands on at the ortho yesterday and her mouth is sore and a liquid breakfast seemed the best option. I was running late so I snagged one is well. Ya know, it just doesn’t work as a “meal replacement” for me. How about an appetizer? Cause I’m still hungry. I don’t want to drink my meal — I want to eat.

Best thing about overcast days when it’s rainy but not too cold yet? I get to break out my orange Ralph Lauren raincoat. Techincally, I think Ralph dubbed it “pumpkin spice” but it’s essentially orange. You positively can’t wear an orange rain coat and feel down, regardless of how dismal the weather is. That’s my advice for the day — toss your humdrum gray, tan, or black raincoat and go buy a yellow, orange or red. Best thing you can own on a rainy day — well, an umbrella comes in handy too.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday.8)
I have Lady Bug Welly boots. It may be a rainy, yucky day, but lady bugs on your feet can’t help but make you smile.
I should try the raincoat though. I think the family is embarrassed by a grown woman with ladybug Welly boots.

I don’t believe in SlimFast. I would rather have a poptart. Speaking of which…. (i)

Slim fast… hmmm
I don’t think that thing works except for the extra fiber that will keep me in the bathroom for a while.
I drunk slim fast one and went shopping with my DH. Oh girl! In the middle of Filenes’s store I was running like a crazy cat ;( :o looking for a Ladies room sign, Oh I learn my lesson, Right. :( Slim fast is not definitely for me.

I must be on some kind of adrenaline high. Of course, having a little lizard removed from your office will do that, I believe. You people are cracking me up. Have a whacked out Wednesday :p .
