random tuesdayness

~ managing to brush my teeth and set the washing machine going while cradling a 14kg kiddie swathed in 2 blankets, clutching 2 dollies and a toy panda, makes me feel like a super-hero

~ after years of practise I am now able to drink a cup of hot tea while driving without spilling any on myself but I've yet to work out how to prevent my sunglasses from steaming up [and the sunglasses are non-negotiable so no, wise-asses, 'Don't wear them' is not a acceptable solution]

~ is it uncool to love a homeless person's coat so much you consider offering them 100 bucks for it? Would the more humane approach be to offer them a new (but obviously not as stylish) coat in exchange?

~ today the gods of green traffic lights smiled on me

~ I hate having to carry actual cash, bring on that implanted bar-code thingie in my forehead I say

~ sandwiches cut into little stars really are more appealing to toddlers. This is not just a cutesy-pie myth as I'd long suspected

~ after pondering for some time whether I'd rather eat a hedgehog or a rock, I've decided definitely a rock. All the pain in one mouthful.

~ I love my new shoes

I love your new shoes too. They are a good grey. I have light grey ones and now.. er.. I might have to get some darker grey ones.

Look at me commenting on blogs rather than wasting time on Facebook! Woo hoo! xx

Would totally eat a rock too, but will most likely in the end go with some pie.

100 bucks for a homeless person's coat?! come on now... i definitely support the idea of a homeless person coat exchange. much better.

and i agree- forehead barcodes would make life a lot easier.

Great list! I like ankle support in my sneakers - these are divine.

this - this was funny stuff! I kept think - yep, that random fact is my favorite until I read the next. Love it.

Come over and help me finish my ongoing story today. Bring your friends. It is just a fun game. Right now Julie from MPC is implying the plane will crash.....

btw - if I was a super hero I would wear those shoes!

do you think that the homeless people would have the means to take your implanted bar code thingie when an urgent coat need strikes?

what about a new ponderable...worm or plaster model of the pyramids?

As a kid I loved rock candy, not gummy bear hedgehogs, so definitely would eat a rock over a hedgehog.

I've never worn converse. I envy girls who can:)

Love your Converse, I live in mine...
Bar codes... would be great, I prefer mine in the palm not the forehead.

ooh! I spy hr geiger in the background! nice. (I'm not actually describing his work as nice. I'm saying "nice" as an affirmation. Is that a South African thing?)
