Random is the new boredom...

This was originally going to be a blog note, but went on Facebook first. Anyway, this might be much more entertaining than a laundry list of busywork from the HouseofJones. I'm tired of listing off who did what when. So instead, here are some random facts:

• I'd love to get a tattoo, if I could figure out what my personal logo would consist of.
• 2. I've been writing poetry and prose since I was in Grade 2. ("Teacher, may I write a poem?" nerd.)
• 3. I find it's easier to write a character if they have an accent.
• 4. Cut and color for a 12-year old? $146.00. Watching her face as she walks out? Priceless. Well, actually, $146.00.
• 4. There are certain things I will never do in a public washroom. They all involve the number two.
• 5. I have 6 scars, two of which are from simple bug bites, none of which come with a good story. Except for Stone Kitty Trip Chin. But the title really tells the story, so...
• 6. I wonder if wooden salad tongs are even cheaper in Denmark.
• 7. I think Ricky Gervais is a genius and Karl Pilkington is remarkably underpaid.
• 8. People who take a 22 year break from school are generally much wiser than their classmates.
• 9. I wouldn't do anything for a Klondike bar. But I'd pay for a bag of chips.
• 10. Necks that are abused on roller coasters take at least 6 days to heal.
• 11. I love entertaining, feeding people and laughing.
• 12. I can't remember the last time I entertained anyone (on purpose) or fed anyone (on purpose?).
• 13. I feel a new year's resolution coming on...
• 14. I am literally suffering from travel withdrawal.
• 15. I hate it when people use the word 'literally' to emphasize an overstatement.16. When it comes to neighbours, we really hit the jackpot.
• 17. Sometimes when I'm being sarcastic, people take me seriously.
• 18. I miss my old neighbourhood. So many good friends just steps away.
• 19. Not counting ya-yas, I've talked more about myself here than I have anywhere, to anyone, in years.
• 20. This year I want to fix the front step, plant veg, build railings, replace fence, and build stone wall.
• 21. This year, Tim wants to enjoy the work we did last year.
• 22. Am I the only one who found In Bruges both devastating AND hilarious?
• 23. I absolutely cannot even imagine what the future holds. (Sub-bullet which would fit nicely under almost any bullet.)
• 24. My marriage has spanned 2 decades and I am very proud of that. Take a lesson, kids out there: sometimes you really do know what you're doing!
• 25. We have a kitchen table, a dining room table, and rarely eat at either.
• 26. Coolest snack for the sweet tooth: Tim Tam Slams. You'll have to ask us or the T-Fs to get a description. It is an experience.
• 27. There is nothing else to share of interest. That is all.
