Friday Night Indulgence and Other Scary Things
Friday night...I have eaten Haagan Daz for dinner, watched The Devil Wears Prada and am considering a night cap to finish off my fascinating evening. Too tired after Blunder and Blunder to be good for much of anything on Friday nights. Kids with their dad, thank god. Now if only if a masseuse (sp?) would magically appear and give me a neck and shoulder rub.
Can't stop reading about the massacre at Virginia Tech. What happens to people that they can not only start down that road but continue on once they begin? How does the world keep its children safe? Yesterday a little 9 year girl was snatched from the front of her house in a town close to mine. The driver let the child out a block later as she was screaming and crying. Kate now walks to the babysitter's after school. How can I let her continue that? How can I stop it and take away the independence she was just beginning to enjoy? Freedom and safety, seems we shouldn't have to choose between the two.
On a lighter note, I finally waved the white flag and went out and bought eye cream to repair the signs of aging and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. I'll be damned if it isn't working (although it burned a lot at first). L'Oreal Advanced Revitalift for eyes. I recommend it highly!
One more fascinating subject: a "ghost ship" was found floating of the coast of I can't remember where (Florida?) with one sail shredded and all three crew members gone. Food was on the table and the radio and GPS equipment undisturbed. I say it was an alien abduction. Jr. thinks it was pirates.
I'll tell you how the Sun rose --
A Ribbon at a time --
The Steeples swam in Amethyst --
The news, like Squirrels, ran --
The Hills untied their Bonnets --
The Bobolinks -- begun --
Then I said softly to myself --
"That must have been the Sun"!
But how he set -- I know not --
There seemed a purple stile
That little Yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while --
Till when they reached the other side,
A Dominie in Gray --
Put gently up the evening Bars --
And led the flock away --
Emily Dickinson

I'm leaning too Juan! And aliens are the only answer as far as I'm concerned (Bigfoot can't swim).
HELLLOOO???!!! How could it be ANYTHING but pirates????? Probably pirates from the late 18th century who look a lot like Johnny Depp (YUM!).
Johnny Depp pirates would only steal female boaters. These were old Australian men. You watch, in a few weeks they'll end up wandering around the outback babbling about bright lights and probes!
