MAKES ME HAPPY

Freedom from alarm clocks. Freedom from time clocks. Freedom from any clock. Makes me happy.

Poopy was watching David Blaine's attempt at drowning last night. I sat/laid down to watch and that was the end of that. I think it was before 9:30 that I zonked out. Now here I am at 6 am wide awake.

Still waiting for you to tell me what you have that's old and precious to you. Simon, the book I told you aboot was published in 1830. It's falling apart but I read it sometimes. It is a leather-bound gilt copy of the works of Tennyson that I dug up in a book store a couple years ago. I love Elaine and Guinevere and reading aboot King Arthur and Lancelot and all that.

Do you remember funny things your kids did with their blankets/thumbs/binkies? Juju would wrap her blankie around her index finger and rub her nose with the satin binding while she sucked her thumb. Baby JuJu, while drinking her bottle, holds her binkie in her left hand and smooshes the nipple part with her thumb, and alternately will close her eyes and rub her eyelids with the binkie nipple. Funny as heck. My son had a bottle shaped like an owl that he/we called Hoot that went with him Everywhere and acted as a pseudo-binkie. They used to make little disc-type things that went inside the lid for storage purposes. I had to keep that in the lid all the time so that he wouldn't get air from sucking on it. Once on a road trip he tossed Hoot out an open car window and we had to get off the highway and retreat to retrieve Hoot. Would have maybe been a good idea to purchase a back-up bottle but I never did find another bottle like that.

Need to wrap this up and go tend to the Babe. Here's your question for today.

Who was the first Survivor contestant to land a starring film role? ( I SO couldn't care less...)

PS In case you are interested, the answer to the Eternal Sunshine question was poet Alexander Pope. There you have it.

Oh, and one more thing that has been bugging the hell outta me- Some of you have the letter identification things that enable one to leave comments on your blog as opposed to computers leaving comments. Theres a little logo by the box, the universal sign for handicapped. When I clicked on one, it says something like "type the letters your hear". Well, I'm thinking, if you're blind, that's a great help. And yes, I'm sure a blind person can maneuver around a keyboard. But how the eff is a blind person reading blogs? Tell me that.
