You may be right, I may be CRAZY

but I just might be the lunatic you're looking for...

turn out the lights, don't try to save me,

You may be wrong, but for all I know,

You may be right.


The first time I remember hearing that song was on "The Chipmunks" album of rock-n-roll covers. How sad is that?


I really love Billy Joel. But that is not what this post is about.

I received an e-mail in my in-box... one of a THOUSAND scrapbooking related e-mails that come my way each week.

PFD IDOL... which stands for Picket Fence Designs - you naughty anagram creators, you should be ashamed of yourselves for what you were starting to think of!

There's a Scrapbooking Idol contest at Picket Fence Designs... and what do I do? Sign up!!

Am I insane? Do I really need the rejection and humiliation? Of course, I just might hang in there for a couple of rounds... so who knows?



I am one big fat glutton for punishment, that's what I am. So if you would like to help me out - you can go and vote for me. The first assignment is posted today - and is due in 10 days. I can't do the math at the moment - but it might be May 16th. ("Math is hard" - High School Dropout Barbie)

Thomas is gone this weekend... we've had some minor excitement around here. My little 2-year old friend across the street got a pebble stuck up his nose. His mother was gone, so his father decided I should try and remove it. Small children can sure be noisy and strong when given the proper motivation!

I will say that as a result of the tears and utter terror, the pebble worked its way down the nostril and was removed without a trip to the ER. I told the father that he should check into getting the correct surgical tool for this extraction - its bound to happen again. Heh!

Belly laughs

are so so so good for you! And they often happen for me while I watch Gilmore Girls. The BEST written show on the planet. Of all time. Well, perhaps *Cheers* had some merit way back when... and M*A*S*H, which you have to admire just for the asterisks.

But seriously... the writers of Gilmore Girls, primarily Amy Sherman Paladino... well they ROCK!

Lorelai: "Michel (the French guy) how long will you be doing that?" (he's bouncing up and down)
Michel:"I just found out the organic dairy down the street has been mixing up the lid colors - I've been drinking 2 percent milk for the last two weeks instead of nonfat. I've consumed an extra billion calories."
Lorelai:"I'm glad that extra fat consumption hasn't interfered with your ability to do math"


Lorelai's father:"Have you been to South Dakota? The most boring state in America? I swear when I flew in, one of the faces of Mt. Rushmore yawned."


Lorelai's mother:"Will you at least promise to keep your comedy set at my funeral under 5 minutes?"


Lorelai's father:"This hotel, the finest in South Dakota supposedly... it smells like feet."


Lorelai:"What kind of errands is it? Shopping, banking, hardware store? Is it dealing in human trafficking, because I'm a very good people person"


Lorelai:"That's not a car, it's a rap video set"


Lorelai's mother:"I'm not paying extra for bullet-proof windows, I haven't been straifed in years"


Lorelai:"The sun can't find you under that hat. If Frosty the Snowman had that hat, he'd be living in Miami right now"

Now - some of those you have to hear in context... but seriously, this series is divinely funny. We're at the end of Season 6... 6 sublimely entertaining seasons. All conveniently available on DVD. And no, I don't get any kind of kick-back... I just want other people to be able to sit around with me and say "Remember that time when Lorelai and Rory..."
