- For my dear friend, Serena: Tell your hubby that there's more to O'ahu than the beach that circles it. There are many fun things to do and many lovely places to eat to keep one who does not like beaches happily occupied here. I can say this, speaking as a person who is not particularly fond of beaches herself.
- I'm reading "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris. I'm not sure if I got the right author or not, but I think I came across his name on another blog who said his stuff is brilliant . . . . or maybe not brilliant, but readable? I.just.don't.remember. I hadn't a clue the author is homosexual and that he would allude to it throughout the book. He does not do that in any grotesque TMI way, thankfully. At first, I worried it would be like that disasterous book "Running with Scissors", which, after about the second crudely descibed sexual encounter, I threw it across the room into the trash. Sedaris isn't the same material. He acknowledges matter-of-factly, but moves on and doesn't dwell. His observations are hilarious. I'm almost finished with it and I would like to read more of his books, but I will borrow them from the library for two reasons: if I object, I can return; if I object, I'm not wasting my husbands hard earned money.
- We ate at Spaghetti Factory last night to celebrate Crickles' birthday. He brought a friend. Food was good. Love having the Italian cream soda. Eating there reminds me of the few times I ate at the one in Seattle with my friend, "Off A Dirt Road" (blogger). If we hadn't eaten in the trolley once, I'd be dying to here . . . I think my kids could care less, but I would want to eat in the trolley if I hadn't before. I'm such a big kid, it's almost stupid.
- The Iowa Hawkeyes are playing against Minnesota today. Who cares? But it is the reason Chief is not reorganizing our bedroom and closet today. I tell you what, telly is the smite in my arse. It really is! I cannot tell you how many hours in each day that man has wasted his life! I relent only because if I attack his telly, he'll attack my books, and that is a big NO NO.
- Chief has left the building . . . the Chief's Mess is doing a car wash fundraiser today. Funny, he did not mention this earlier and my commenting upon that fact made his leaving a bit harder . . . I should just eat my feet; he's going to go 'cos he cannot let the damn Navy down. Ever.

And, just for the record, I have thrown heterosexual books away as well for TMI and too often TMI sexual encounters. I just don't care to read about sex in detail - or at all - if a couple in a book are married, I think it's not a mystery that they may get together in that way; if the couple is living together, same surmising going on. In today's day and age, I can assume that anyone may be getting down to "IT" any old time, but I don't really allow my mind to go there and I don't want to be lead there either. Remember that Mr. and Mrs. Darcy book? It got put in the bin w/out my finishing it. Gross.
Me thinks Schmoofy might need a social studies lesson!
Sarah,
I am up..early on Sunday a.m. One of those days where I ate too much the night before and worries on the brain..so I try not to toss and turn.
You don't like beaches that much? Ah! Go figure..sunrises and sunsets and the breezes and ah..oh never mind. :)
Okay, so its funny..I toss those books too..makes me so mad..I don't need to read that stuff and I try to flip through the pages at the bookstores just to get a hint of what is contained that way, but I've actually come home..not seeing something and bingo .. gross....toss. I REALLY look carefully now, but actually haven't bought many new books lately. Need to read what I have.
Spaghetti Factory? THAT is the place in Indianapolis, that our family agreed upon to go and meet Serena's family! :) Yep! Good memories! Wonderful night.
Husbands and tvs...yeah. Same here. Like the Chief, Danny works hard on his job, for the K of C, for the neighbor...he's not real crazy about work here. I think I don't pay him well...what do you think? {:p!!!
I am with you wholeheartedly on the book thing. Had a friend from church reccoment a mystery writer to me AFTER I told her that I do not like graphic violence, sex and bad language in a book so I was looking for good, wholesome mystery books. She said I would love this author and I bought four of her books at the church yard sale. They had sex, crude and rude references galore, foul language and lacked only the graphic violence...Janet Evanovich's books went into the trash after I read the first one half way through (only went that far thinking they must have some redeeming quality).
Maybe you need to tell the Chief that the Navy is coming to inspect the closet...with Michael I probably need to tell him that there is an action/adventure movie tucked in among his clutter in the closet.
blessings and happy hugs,
marcy
