In the spirit of randomness, and wild trips on codeine cough syrup, I present to you my Funky Friday Fun List. In no particular order...

1. I have an old lady purse. No, it doesn't smell like cat pee or reek of cigarette smoke, it's all about what's inside it...cough drops, chapstick, cough syrup, cold pills, an inhaler, gum, sewing kit, lotion and breath mints...If I added some Rolaids, Tums or even Immodium, I might even totally pass for a hypochondriac.

2. Thanks to the addition of a seven week old furball who hasn't quite figured out the litter box is not a toy box, Gunny has a new word and it's not exactly appropriate for a three year old. I was lamenting to my mom on the phone about the "cat sh*t" smell and how I couldn't find the source. Of course, with his super hearing skills, he began screaming the phrase, looking under shelves and behing bookcases. "Don't worry Momma, I gonna find da cat sh*t for ya!" Thanks Gunny.

3. And speaking of the Gunster, he is now officially potty trained and a self-proclaimed super duper pooper. It's cute but I'm hoping his habit of introducing himself at Starbucks to all the pretty ladies will eventually subside. Not everyone appreciates shaking hands with a three year old screaming, "Hi, I Gunnah, and I poop lots in da potty!"

4. I've wasted the last day and a half trying to install Windows 7 on my new Dell desktop. Half of that time has been spent with Hubby on the phone with tech support. They have one of those automated systems where you say a word and then you get transfered to the right person - normally who reads from a script and can't entirely speak English. Two things I learned today while listening to him on the phone? The f-word is not recognized by the automated system, and you truly can't joke with someone reading from a script. Good times.

5. I've already lamented about my old lady purse...but the cause of it is this damn cold which has established residency in my lungs. I'm on four different drugs - two cough syrups, an antibiotic and an inhaler - and I'm slowly starting to feel better. I've had the cough and ickiness for going on three weeks now - and it truly sucks.

6. The countdown to Black Friday has started...Taters and I will be driving down Thanksgiving night to spend our early morning hours with Aunt D. The stores open at midnight down there and it should be a blast, albeit exhausting!

7. I've watched the movie "Coraline" about a bazillion times and I still can't get over the theater scene with the Aphrodite. My kids willingly close their eyes when the heavyset Goddess in pasties and a g-string does her jiggly thing. Barf.

I think I'm gonna end this list at the #7. I'm starting to bark like a seal and Hubby is holding a fish bucket demanding tricks. Have a fabulous weekend and stay dry!
