I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

I have gotten into THE WRONG CAR in a parking lot, thinking it was mine!
That hat is way too funny!
Lesson Learnt - Never leave my house without my digital camera ever again.
Even if my camera is old and broken. Even if 9 times out of 10 the picture comes out blurry. And even if my camera uses batteries like a prostitute uses condomsŠit still would have been really handy to have in my possession when I saw Sanjaya shopping at my local CVS.
Oh, alright, so it wasn't Sanjaya. And, for the record, I don't even like Sanjaya. Not.Even.A.Little. But I did frantically search my purse for said crappy digital camera when the Sanjaya look-a-like-could-have-been-practically-identical-twin strolled into the store.
After shoving my hand violently around my gigantic purse for a solid 8 minuets, I still couldn't locate my camera. That's when I realized I had left it at home to download more new pictures of Baby Mason.
As I wondered aimlessly into the parking lot, I was lost in deep thought about how funny that post would have been. I was disappointed for missing the perfect opportunity to hold a Spontaneous Sanjaya look a like contest. Distracted, preoccupied, and contemplating the words I would have used in my Œalmost post' I began unloading the bags from my shopping cart into THE WRONG CAR.
Um. Yeah. Hi.
I was too busy cussing myself out for being ill prepared, that I wasn't even aware I was putting my bags, into someone else car.
(Because, you know, Hyundai's and Nissan's look so much alike. Right?)
The only clue to the situation I had gotten myself into was how clean the back seat of the wrong car was. The back seat of my car is filled with empty coffee cups, cigarette packs, 15 pairs of shoesŠall of which I did not see as I was placing bags neatly intoŠThe Wrong Car.
First I panicked. Then I rapidly scanned the parking lot for any onlooker, or the possible owner of the car. Thankfully no one saw me as I quickly removed the bagsŠand thankfully I wasn't busted.
Lesson Learnt? There may be a celebrity look a like at any given time, in any given store. Never leave my house without my digital camera ever again. I might end up in jail for a really embarrassing misunderstanding, one that infers to unlawful entry or even burglary.
AHAHAHhHAHhAHhhHAhahhHAHh!
That was THE SAME episode!
:)
Sanjaya was a contestant on American Idol like 100 years ago.
Baby Mason is my nephew, who will be FIVE YEARS OLD this month!
This post was from a long time ago!

Unfortunately this slogan is becoming true for me at times!
