Random Observations and Such – July 24, 2008 Edition
Posted by Busy Nothings on July 24, 2008
- I don’t know why, but for some reason every time I go to any type of restaurant and order a Coke, I am given a Diet Coke. Now I would rather drink paint varnish than anything Diet. The taste of aspartame
always makes me want to drag my tongue across a carpet. I can always tell the difference. Don’t even try to give me Pepsi. Anyway, I don’t know if it’s because I’m a thin woman that it’s assumed I would want to drink the nasty stuff, or what, but I’m slowly learning that I have to be very particular in asking for it. I just want Coke-a-Cola Classic – not Diet, Cherry, Vanilla, Lime, Zero, Caffeine Free, nor any combination thereof. If you can’t give me that, just give me a Dr. Pepper – regular, not diet, etc. - I seriously believe that we have hired a real-life Sideshow Bob to run a camera at work. He certainly has the hair. I hope the murderous personality doesn’t match.
- I’m ready to get Lucy a baby sister golden retriever to play with, both for her and for us. She’s been in the habit of chewing things up again in boredom. I want to alleviate some of that boredom and maybe just a little of her excess energy.

I laughed out loud at the image of running your tongue across the carpet. (Great description!) And yes… I wish we could afford a “friend” for Lakota. She’s lonely as well and I feel bad about it. So — any recent plans for a baby? (Not meaning a dog?)
